Here's the next chapter with a twist.

"What do you mean by that?! KAKASHI-SENSEI!!" Naruto screeched, before quickly lowering his voice to a more manageable sound that would not be overheard by the crowd who were so eagerly listening in on the conversation, " You're so mean. . ."

Kakashi didn't say a word, but he chuckled dryly to himself as he watched Naruto glare at him and spin off toward where he would announce the couple.

Naruto took a breath and gulped as he realized exactly how many people were inside. The people stretched from one side to the other, and they were all staring straight at him as if waiting. But of course they were waiting, he admonished to himself as he jerked at his kimono and stared down at the note card in his hand. He glanced around and spotted Kankuro in his handsome dark purple and black kimono heading toward the center with a very beautiful blond girl with her hair piled up into a elaborate hairstyle. Ino smiled sweetly, wearing a lovely sunshine gold and violet purple kimono with decorated red flowers mingling in with the other colors. Her arm cradled in Kankuro's, she let him lead her into the middle as the crowd separated as they went by. Shikamaru and Temari appeared somewhat at a distance behind them but paused in their steps out of politeness.

Naruto avoided the crowd's gaze and just nervously kept his eyes on the card he held. He looked toward Kakashi-Sensei for guidance and when he nodded, Naruto smiled. He looked at the words at the top and repeated them outloud.

"Required," Naruto loudly rose his voice as he read the note outloud, not bothering to pay attention to the actual words he was calling out one by one. The audience was quiet yet they were chuckling as he called out every word, which he thought was just plain rude. When Naruto finished, he thought that it was a bit short. He glanced at Kakashi who was looking at him funny, and he glanced back down to the words to see what would cause Kakashi-sensei to give him such a strange expression.

"Wait a second, this. .. This is?" Naruto looked up from his card in horror and slowly glanced in Ino's direction who was shooting daggers at him, while shoving up her sleeves and preparing her hands into fists. Kankuro was holding her back, but he could hear her shouts.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, NARUTO?!!" Ino shrieked as she broke free from her restraints and starting shaking Naruto back and forth, " Are you trying to ruin my ENGAGEMENT PARTY?!!"

"INO! Ino, stop you're causing a commotion," Kankuro pulled her away as she blushed and apologized to the amused audience with a few people backing away from her out of fear. She turned her head back towards Naruto and glared with a murderous look to her blue eyes.

"Sorry," Naruto apologized trying to see if there was anything on the back of the note card. He sighed in relief and suspiciously checked again to make sure it sounded right. He smiled with blessed relief and started over properly, making sure not to add side comments like he normally would do. He didn't want to die today, thank you very much.

At the end of his speech, he slid away from the couple and hoped there would be no later attempts at his torture. Naruto walked back toward where Kakashi-Sensei was and gave him a death glare.

"Why didn't you tell, me that one side had you're grocery list on it?!" he muttered loud enough for Kakashi to hear. Kakashi rubbed his head sheepishly once more and shrugged. Naruto shook his head disgustedly at this attitude and mumbled beneath his breath, "Why did you have to add one of those perverted books to the list. That's what almost killed me while ago."

"Naruto. . ." growled a softly deep angry voice which consequently caused Naruto to pause and allow a petrified expression to appear on his face. Kakashi winced and felt a cold shiver race up his spine as he spotted his green-eyed student allowing chakra to flow through her hands as she focused her gaze onto Naruto. There was an eerily killer intent leaking from her chakra signal and he knew that Naruto was in bad situation.

"Sakura. . . Don't kill Naruto," Sasuke coolly requested stressing her name as he spoke to her. Naruto smiled and started shaking his head in perfect agreement until the next few words caused him to frown and shake his head, " The dobe's an idiot, and sometimes worse than Sai, but Naruto is our idiot."

"Hey! Sasuke-teme, what are you saying?! I'm not a idiot!" Naruto argued clenching his fists as he glowered at the youngest Sharingan user. It had been an accident, not an act of stupidity! Even if it was because I wasn't paying attention. It was only a mistake!

Sasuke smirked and just looked toward Sakura who was still steaming from the humiliation of the commotion he caused. Sakura was not one to let things go easily, especially if it made her team and herself look bad. Letting go of Sakura's shoulder, Sasuke just raised his eyebrows and inquired, "So you did all that on purpose?"

Sakura raised her fist, and Sasuke quickly grabbed it before she could bring it over Naruto's head. Sakura sighed, knowing that she could easily break his hold, but she didn't because they were all teammates and it was okay to make mistakes every now and then.

"No!" Naruto shouted desperately as he glanced at Sakura and flinched and covered his head. Sakura lowered her fist and shook her head. She would never be able to understand Naruto, not even if she belonged to the famous Yamanaka clan and knew the Mind Transfer Jutsu.

" I'm not gonna hit you, but if you cause any more ruckus you will be in pain Naruto. . ." Sakura informed the only blond-haired teammate of her team. She brushed back a loose strand of pink hair from her eyes and warned him with her gaze. Naruto relaxed and started to grin his usual goofy smile.

Kakashi-Sensei just looked at his students, and even spotted Sai coming closer to see what was going on. He arrived rather quickly and looked to the others.

"What's the hag- I mean Sakura-Chan shrieking about, Hatake-San?" Sai corrected himself feeling slightly proud that he was slowly getting the hang of emotions. He wasn't there yet, but he believed that it was only a matter of time with him being part of Team Seven.

Sakura's eyes twitched but she didn't respond like she normally would. She was trying to tell herself that they were all teammates and she avoided injuring Sai who wore a simple black kimono. Surprisingly it was in good taste, unlike his normal outfit which showed off his stomach unnecessarily.

" I see you kept with the advise I gave," the Copy-Nin said dryly, "But only partly. I wish you'd drop the Hatake-San. It's about time this team started calling me Kakashi, since I'm no longer you're teacher but an equal."

The four ignored him and he just sat back to watch. Sometimes he wished they were still his young gullible students who used to hang off his every word. But obviously that part wouldn't change unlike the part he did want to change.

Naruto laughed at something that Sai said, and quickly stopped and turned toward what ever sound he heard. It was a strong swishing sound and he spun around in the direction Ino and Kankuro was to check to see if they were okay. Nothing was happening so he relaxed until a sharp breaking sound struck his mind. It was an odd sound yet a familiar sound and he jerked his head back around and saw something that made him gasp.
