Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of his friends (Otherwise Jiriya would get drunk off his ass and would promptly be dumped into a landfill by Tsunade). TIME FOR NARUTO'S BIRTHDAY!

Things were off to a great start, Naruto was having the time of his life, and this was the thing that he would most likely remember for the rest of his life. Kiba was pestering Lee telling him to have a mug of beer, thankfully Lee knew what would happen if he drank and declined (Sakura had the shackles ready just in case). When all of a sudden, someone (give you one guess) burst through the door, (yep Sasuke had finally arrived). Kakashi walked up to him and clonked him on the head "You're late Sasuke that's an extra thousand push-ups in tomorrow's training." Sasuke almost blew up right there (Both literally and metaphorically, someone had just lit a firework in his back pocket) Ino then reached behind Sasuke (without him noticing) and put out the fuse that one of the other partygoers had lit.

Meanwhile in the kitchen the rest of the party staff were putting the final touches on the cake, mainly Hinata, who as you can guess, was so nervous that it took every ounce of willpower she had just to stay conscious. Finally the party was in full swing with the lights, the music, and of course, the girls shakin what their mama gave em (Just enough to give every man in there, including Naruto, one heck of a nosebleed). Just as every guy in the room was about to die from loss of blood the "kitchen staff" decided to wheel in their fabulous creations, instantly every single person in the apartment stopped, stared, and salivated because what lay before them is what Naruto would later describe as "The feast of the gods" which, coming from Naruto is an incomprehensible term as a "regular meal" to him was already a "feast" to everyone else.

Instantaneously the food table was swarmed by the hungry guests but there was one place that several of the ninja had to intervene, the ramen, Sakura reached behind her back (into malletspace) and pulled out her bullhorn everyone saw it and everyone (excluding Naruto) covered their ears. "OKAY NOBODY TOUCH THIS RAMEN UNTIL NARUTO HAS HAD HIS BOWL FIRST! THERE IS ONE CERTAIN PERSON THAT HAS WORKED VERY HARD ON THIS AND WOULD BE FURIOUS IF THE MAN WHO'S BIRTHDAY WE ARE CURRENTLY CELEBRATING DID NOT GET FIRST DIBBS." Of course by the time that Sakura was done that "man whose birthday they were celebrating" was deaf due to the fact that he was the only one whose ears were not covered. Once Naruto's head had cleared he stood up and gratefully accepted the bowl of ramen that was being held out to him (by Sakura) he took one bite of the noodles and vegetables that were in his bowl and his eyes lit up, he felt like he was in heaven, this ramen was the best he had ever tasted, the work of a genius beyond that of even Iruchka of the ramen shop, he exclaimed "THIS IS AMAZING!" it was at this point in time that Ino, Tenten, and Neji wheeled forward Hinata, who coincidentally, was blushing like crazy.

Ino turned to Naruto and said "We present you with the cook of this piece de resistance, Miss Hinata Hyuuga." Tenten then stepped forward and said "There is something that Hinata has been meaning to say to you for a long time, only this time we're not letting her chicken out of it, isn't that right?" (Sakura and the other kunoichi form a semicircle around Hinata while the male ninja form the other half around Naruto). Hinata looked down nervously, studying the carpet and said with a slow unsure voice "N-Naruto-kun I-I've been meaning to tell you, e-ever since we entered the academy I have a-always…" at this Hinata paused, looked up, stared straight into Naruto's eyes and said "Naruto-kun I have always loved you." This time it wasn't Hinata that fainted.

Sakura: Oh brother.

Jimbaliya: I'm so mean aren't I?

Sasuke: I'll say, you almost blew me up.

Jimbaliya: wasn't me it was one of those random partygoers!

Sasuke: YOU make everything happen.

Ino: Hey I'm not complaining.

Sasuke: Why not?

Ino: …

Sasuke: Well?

Ino: (In a mouse voice) no flames please (scampers off)

Sasuke: Hey answer my question Ino!

Sakura: (glomps Sasuke)

Jimbaliya: Well until next time (wedges crowbar in between Sakura and Sasuke) I'M GONNA NEED SOME HELP OVER HERE!

Neji: (Walks in and grabs the crowbar) Step aside.

(Moments later Neji and Jimbaliya lay on the ground bleeding from their armpits and Sakura has once again glomped Sasuke).
