Naruto: Ninja Burger Chronicles
Scroll Thirteen, Part One: You Don't Have to Go Home…
By Kaori

Since no one was quite ready to go home yet, Konoha franchise's rookie deliverators decided to goof off in town. Much to Sakura's irritation they all went downtown as one big group.

"Hey, Naruto." She ventured. "Shouldn't you be going home now that the competition is over?" She asked this not out of concern for her teammate, but rather as a ploy to have Sasuke all to herself.

You see, Sasuke had anticipated his fellow deliverator's Love-Love Attack from Hell and thus positioned himself in the middle of the group. Naruto was walking to his immediate right, Shikamaru on his left, and Team 8 behind him. This meant that he was safe from the amorous intentions of not only Sakura, but Ino as well. Hearing Sakura's comment, he immediately pointed out that since they are a team if Naruto goes home then they all should go home as it would be bad for the team dynamic if they were to go out without him.

Sakura, undaunted, then asked aloud why they were still hanging around with Teams 8 and 10. Thankfully Kiba had a response that didn't have anything to do with stalker-like tendencies.

"This is the first time we've all been together without adult supervision in years!" he declared. "Do you really want to waste this opportunity to spend time with your friends outside of work?"

Sakura had to admit that he had a point.

"So, where are we going?" Naruto asked.

"The mall!" squealed Ino.

"It's closed at this hour." Shikamaru pointed out.

"TITTY BAR!" roared Kiba he was immediately slapped by Ino, Sakura, and a woman who just happened to be passing by. "Ow…I was kidding."

"A restaurant?" Chouji said hopefully.

"Haven't you eaten enough?" deadpanned Shikamaru

"No."

"Shoplifting?" everyone turned to gape at Shino. "What?" The others shook their heads. "You guys never let me have any fun."

"Um," Hinata started before anyone could say anything else about Shino's kleptomania. "where are we?"

For the first time since they started this conversation everyone looked around them. It was Kiba who eventually voiced what everyone else was thinking, "Well crap, we're lost."

Yep. It's late at night and our young friends have gotten themselves lost. But just where have they wandered to? Hmm…next scroll will reveal all! Well not all but enough to answer the preceding question.
