The Ultimate Alliance Of Authors 32 I Like 'Em Thick
The Ultimate Alliance Of Authors were at their base and just watched the movie Wanted with Angelina Jolie.
"That was the most overrated movie ever," lulamaemobster said.
"Yeah, and did they need the narration?" ravercozy asked. "I hate movies like that, it's like they don't think the audience is smart enough to follow the movie."
"Seriously," Chewie Cookies said. "I can see the actions and hear the dialogue of the characters plus its rated R so anyone who's watching the movie can comprehend what's going on."
"It's like the director is a know it all," Blame Truth said.
"Speaking of overrated," lulamaemobster said. "You know who's overrated?"
"Who?" they asked.
"Angelina Jolie, I don't see why everyone's so enamored with her, she's too skinny."
"You don't like 'em skinny?" asked Kage Bijuu.
"We've been over this, I like 'em thick like Tocarra Jones from America's Next Top Model."
"Yeah, that's right," Morristofoxes said. "I remember you talking about that a while ago."
"You know what I wouldn't mind taking a run at?" asked lulamaemobster with a lecherous smile on his face. "One of those Goth chicks."
"Really?" asked Uzumakie.
"Yeah, there aren't a whole lot of them where I'm from, I'd just like to see what they're all about more than anything. People seem to avoid them sometimes but I don't know."
"You'd better not let Rose Tiger hear you talking like that."
"Rose Tiger ain't gonna do a goddamn thing," lulamaemobster said defiantly not knowing she was behind him.
They all had a look of sheer terror on their faces as they saw her.
"She's behind me, isn't she?"
I DO NOT OWN NARUTO AND/OR THE CHARACTERS
The Show
Pretty Painful continued down the trail, they were on high alert as it had begun raining again.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked seeing her face.
"I sense something," Karin said. "Check it out, Hinata."
"Byakugan!" she shouted as her kekkei genkai activated. "I see something in the far winds. I always wanted to say that."
"Enough jokes," Jazi said. "What is it?"
"It's a guy and he seems to be looking in this direction."
"What's he look like?" Metaru asked. "Is he old, does he look like Naruto?"
"No," Hinata said. "I've never seen him before and he doesn't seem to be from around here."
"What's he doing?" asked Arinbi.
"He seems to be waiting for us."
"How do you know?" Ten asked.
"He's motioning for me to follow him."
"Well, we don't want to disappoint him," Punku said.
Hinata kept her Byakugan activated as to not lose sight of the person and they moved to his location, he didn't even try to leave and waited for them to meet him.
"Hello," he greeted with warm smile upon their arrival.
"Who are you?" Metaru demanded.
"There someone you should meet," he said. "Someone you may be more interested in."
He turned and left, they had no choice but to follow as they wanted to end this as soon as possible.
"Just keep your eyes peeled," Ino said. "And stick together."
They followed him and he led them deeper into the forest, he didn't even seem to try and cover his tracks which made them very curious.
"You seem not to worry about us knowing where you're located," Rappu said.
"You seem to assume that you'll be leaving," he said still with his warm smile.
His words made Hinata and Punku jam him up against a tree as they took them as a threat.
"What makes you think we won't kill you right here?" Hinata asked.
"Forgive me, I believe I gave the wrong impression," he said still with that warm smile that was both soothing and horrifying. "I meant that once you've met him, you won't want to come back. Now, if you please."
They noticed that he was looking at something and turned to find a building standing in front of them.
"Where the hell did this come from?" asked Arinbi.
"Follow me."
Inside the building they found a group of people inside seemingly waiting on something.
"You're in luck," he said. "Seeing as you're our honored guests, you're guaranteed a seat and won't have to wait."
"Wait on what?" Hinata asked.
"The movie will begin in five moments," a mindless voice said. "Those who are unseated will have to wait until the next showing."
They went behind him as the rest of the people followed them languidly down the hall and were seated when the voice began speaking again.
"The program this evening is not new, you've seen this entertainment through and through. You've seen your birth, your life and death, you may recall all of the rest. Tell me, have you had an interesting life? Enough to base a movie on?"
A giant screen came on and a movie began showing except that they all saw something different, they saw their lives and the thing they tried to push out of their minds. Hinata saw herself being neglected by her clan, Sakura saw herself being made fun of by the females in her class, Ten and Ino saw themselves being utterly ignored by the boys they had crushes on, Neji and Sasuke. Karin, Metaru, Punku, Rappu, Arinbi, and Jazi all saw the twisted things Orochimaru made them do in his name. They hadn't realized it but their lives were worse than they'd remembered. Hinata and the others that grew up in the Leaf Village never noticed how alone they were and Orochimaru's former disciples were horrified seeing their lives and the people they had become. The screen went off and the audience around them gave it a standing ovation.
"This is by far the best picture I've seen yet," one of them said.
"I have to see it again," said another.
Pretty Painful, on the other hand, were so deep in thought that they hadn't noticed that they were alone. That is except for the little girl standing next to them smiling.
"He wants to see you," she said. "He can help you deal with what you're feeling."
Without even thinking, they followed the little girl out of the theatre and further down the hall. They passed by several people coming from the direction they were going including one that Sakura, Karin, and Ino slightly recognized but were too wrapped up in thought to notice. There was a door at the end of the hall and they went inside to find a man sitting in the dark.
"Welcome," he said as the lights came on. "I understand you've been looking for me."
It was morning back in the Leaf Village and Tsunade woke up to find Naruto sleep deprived on her room floor.
"Sleep well?" she asked not paying attention.
"Like a baby," he lied as he got up to wake Pretty Painful.
He went to Sakura's room, which was the closest to Tsunade's but found her missing.
"Maybe she's with one of the other girls," he thought to himself hoping for such a scene.
He went to the other rooms but found each of them empty.
"Hey, the girls are gone," he told Tsunade as she came out of her room.
"They probably just got an early start on the day," she said.
"Yeah, you're probably right."
The two of them went to her office but something still bothered Naruto.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked.
"I don't know," he said. "I'd just feel better if I saw them."
She could see that he was truly worried and sent an ANBU to locate Pretty Painful, the ANBU returned to report that they were missing.
"What?" Naruto asked. "Where could they be?"
"He couldn't have killed them right from under our noses," Tsunade said. "You would've sensed him."
Tsunade processed the information and came to a conclusion.
"They wouldn't have."
"There wasn't any sign that they were taken or anything like that," Naruto said coming to the same conclusion. "And with Hinata's Byakugan and Karin's sensing abilities, it wouldn't be hard to navigate their way out of the village."
