A/N: I want to point out I started this, story earlier in the Fall than I did with my other crossover: Arashi Uzumaki of the Blue Plague, but still no where in the beginning, so if you want to know what happened in Blue Plague series before the point I used, you got to read the actual books. Just don't let kids read it.
I'm also censoring curse words as it's too many used in more than just saying usual ways that I can't ignore them all. At least with censoring I'm not going against my usual way of avoiding curse wordsof the Blue Plague series Tomas W. Watson, whose wife is Tina Watson. I should also tell you Watson always based a character after himself in his books, and in the Blue Plague series that's Bruce.
Finally, I don't own the Blue Plague series or the Naruto series or it's characters. But I do know the wife of the writer of the Blue Plague series Tomas W. Watson, whose wife is Tina Watson. I should also tell you Watson always based a character after himself in his books, and in the Blue Plague series that's Bruce.
if you see letters with '-' that's me sensoring curse words in case none of you realized that.
If you haven't read it yet, read this first:

Blue Plague's Nine-Tail Fox's Son: The Survival
Bruce Plans for a Christmas Project
It was Friday afternoon at 1400 as Naruto's ninja friends started teaching each other moves. Naruto didn't have to learn how to use chakra strings as he learned how when he was learning sage mode. But he was able to help Kankaro teach others. Temari also taught those able to use wind chakra some wind style jutsus. Naruto taught Kiba how to decrease his sense of smell temporarily so Blue's scent doesn't bother him as much he also got Joe to forge some weights for him and Millie to use leg warmers like his so they can work on their speed.
Konohamaru taught Naruto the Ash Cloud jutsu of the Sarutobi clan.
Naruto also decide to take their training with Bruce's group in learning how to use hand guns in order to learn how to apply chakra to it. Bruce didn't mind.
Shino agreed as he knew it would provide cover if the enemy gets too close. Apparently Shino had learned during the time Naruto was on his two years of training the importance of close combat for long range fighters. Kankaro was more difficult on the idea, but Temari knock some sense into him.
"In case you didn't notice Kankaro, Blues can break through wood--which your puppets are made from," Temari said. "Even if you get them to fire bullets they can still become scrap to them and then what aRe you going to do."
"Fine." Kankaro complained.
So Kankaro took part in the training.
"Thanks again for agreeing to combine our training," Naruto said to Bruce.
"No problem." Bruce said. "At least this way I can get you up to speed too."
Bruce had sét the targets at the base to at the base to berm against the fence to make a firing range to train people. They started with four lined up eighty yards away as Naruto had his clones make six more. Soon they had targets for everyone. Each post had four painted steel circular target plates connected to the post with a swing arm. When the plate was hit, it would swing to the other side of the post, resetting itself. From the top of the post to the bottom the plates were painted different colors.
Bruce and the clones lined up the targets and started calling out colors for them to engaGe. When they made a mistake, he would show them the right way to do it. The ninjas took turns six at a time at twenty yards as the other. Switch to rifles and pistols.
When Bruce saw one not keeping muzzle discipline, not watching where they were pointing their weapon, it was punishment time. Punishment consisted of push=ups. If he saw someone leave a finger on the trigger when they were not ready to engage, more punishment follow.
Only ones of the shinobies that had an issue were Shikamaru as he rather be lazy, and Choji because of his weight. Although Choji was forced to lose weight since joining the clan, Millie had worked extra calories in Choji's food to help keep some bulk for his clan's jutsus.
At the end of the three hours, they were all soaked with sweat in the frigid air from running back and forth to the targets. Stephanie, Angela, Mindy and Buffy were sore and tired from running and push-ups, and everyone thought Bruce was kidding when he told her to drop. When Angela saw the look on his face, she hit the dirt and did them. Loading up, they headed to the hall, seeing about twenty people in the field who had been watching Them.
When they walked in, Bruce informed them, "Weapons clean before you eat."
The four girls grunted as one, not wanting to argue, worried more push-ups would be involved. They just sat down to their task along with the shinobies. Kankaro didn't mind this part as this was close to what he was already use to doing maintenance with his puppets. Bruce left to go get the twins PJ and Cade.
"Here, Naurto," Mille handed Naruto the last of the leg warmers.
"Good. Now we just got to add seals to the weights Joe made, we're all set." Naruto said.
Bruce herded the four to the command table to see everyone there, either eating or cleaning.
Debbie looked at Bruce as he sat down, inquiring, "Did they do a good job today?'
Bruce smiled. "Yes, they all did a greaT job. Of course some thought I was kidding about payment for infractions." Debble laughed, looking at Angela, Stephanie, Buffy and Mindy, knowing he was referring to them, as they were sitting by David. Although they were all dirty from the push-ups, those four were covered in sweat indicating they had it harder.
"Push-ups are part of shinobies' basic training," Naruto said. "But hopefully with the weights we can even things out some by increasing the weight anytime an infraction is made."
"What?" Choji complained.
"Sorry, Choji, but this is so you don't make a mistake with a gun," Naruto said. "If I learn anything about experimenting with guns, they can be dangerous to the handler and those around them."
"What a drag," Shikamaru sighed.
"Like you're the one to complain," Angela argued.
"Don't think you're special. Bruce started teaching me, I thought he was crazy when he told me I owed him thirty pushups in the first fifteen minutes, my first time on the range with him," Debbie informed them. "I refused to do them and Bruce just packed up everything in the truck, not talking to me. He didn't talk to me for three daYs, until i did those d- pushups."
"That makes me feel better because I almost left," Angela admitted.
"Did you ever made the same mistake twice?" Debbie asked.
"They didn't," Naruto answered for Angela referring to Stephanie Mindy and Buffy with her as well. "That's why I'm working on adding weights to our training. Maybe then the punishment will stick."
"I hope so! Bruce added up the mistakes calling them out after a run and wanting payment. If I had to do just ten pushups at a time, it wouldn't have been so bad. But I had to do thirty the first time," Angela responded, rubbing her sore arms.
"Us had to do twenty," Shikamaru stated.
"That's how Bruce does things," Debbie said. "Girls get ten for each infraction as the guys get twenty."
"Actually I was just testing to see how the ninjas can handle the punishment compared to others. I was going to increase it, but I knew Naruto was planning to integrate the weight training to the punishment so I wanted to see how before I decide how much to increase it."
Danny looked at Buffy. "How many infractions did you get today?"
"Eight," Buffy replied in a dejected voice.
"That's about what I had on my first day," Danny informed her, which made Buffy feel better.
"Okay, Bruce called out. "Quit whining about it. The group did a good job and the lessons will only get harder and more dangerous. You have to learn to be safe. That's why infractions have to be paid. If all I did was tell you about a mistake and didn't ask for payment, in the long run you could get someone killed."
"I know that, and I'm sure the others do as well, Bruce, but my arms are numb and when I hear someone say a color, I want to shoot at it." Stephanie remarked.
"That's good. That means you have the training that is being integrated into your mind and body," Yamato said. "That's not only good for training but in combat when you are forced to act without thinking. Even Chuunins and Jonins who have advanced thanks to relying on both body and mind in combat know there's always a time or place to just act."
"Thank you, Yamato. Leave it to you to understand," Bruce said. "Okay, Stephanie, I want to tell you that I have another job for you."
"Oh s-! Did I make you mad?" Stephanie asked, thinking a reprisal was in her future.
"No, Little Red. This is a job for the family," Bruce told Stephanie. "I want you to teach Buffy one hour every day at school work."
Buffy's jaw hit her chest. "All right, Bruce, I can do that," Stephanie replied as Buffy continued to gawk at Bruce with an open mouth."
Debbie asked Bruce, "Why not just let her go with the other kids?"
"She needs to learn more and at a faster pace than the others. I'm sure Shikamaru and Temari could come close to what I need in intelligence, but they didn't have the same education. We had much less Stephanie to teach Buffy one on one."
"I hate to admit it, but Bruce is right," Temari said.
"It's always a drag when she brings up stuff she was taught in this world," Shikamaru said.
"But why Stephanie? I don't know what she's talking about half the time. I tried looking some of the words up she uses and can't even find them," Buffy said.
Bruce laughed. "Well I can agree with you there, especially when she talks about viruses." THen Bruce looked at Buffy seriously. "Buffy, our kids were all taking advanced classes in school and know now how to teach themselves. You need to learn the fundamentals, like basic science, basic math, English, before you can do that. I'm not just talking about addition and subtraction. I mean algebra, geometry, chemistry, computers, and so on."
Buffy looked at Bruce and pouted. "Why can't you, Mama, or Danny do it? I can understand what you say?"
"Buffy, Stephanie is smarter than each of us and knows more than each of us. When I have one of the family learn something, I want them to learn from the best."
"Dad, I think Stephanie is smarter than all of us put together" Danny added her two cents.
"I'm not that smart, Danny!" Stephanie blurted out.
Jake leaned over the table and looked down at Stephanie. "What the molecular weight of argon?"
"39.948," Stephanie replied without thinking.
"I rest my case," Danny proclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air.
"What the h- is argon?" Buffy asked with a bewildered look.
Argon is an inert gas with the atomic number eighteen and is grouped in the noble gases=" Stephanie answered Buffy, but stopped when Bruce held up his hand. Buffy just looked at Stephanie like she was an alien.
Bruce lowered his hand. "Stephanie, I'm also doing thing so you can learn how to teach others what you know without frying our brains for the twins and the PJ's sake later on. Remember, start small and advance at their pace."
"Great! SHe gets to experiment on me and fry my brain," Buffy said with dejected tone, causing everyone to laugh.
"Buffy, if it makes you feel better, I'm taking a new class also. Starting next week, I'm going to start learning how to fly a helicopter, and yes, I'm nervous," Bruce said.
"Okay, I'll do my best, Daddy," Buffy replied in a quiet tone.
"Maybe we should learn some of this stuff too," Naruto said losing track of what was said after Argon.
The family started eating as Millie and the kitchen staff brought over plates of food and set them down. While the family was eating, Marty, one of the kids Bruce and Mike had rescued from the school in Haughton, came over to stand beside Bruce, acting nervous.
"Mr. Bruce, I want to ask your permission to ask Buffy to the dance tomorrow," he said shuffling his feet.
"Oh, yeah! That's right! The dance is tomorrow!" Naruto said. "With everything that happened I totally forgot!"
"Ino hasn't. Between training, she has been talking about it non=stop," Shikamaru added.
Bruce looked at Marty and smiled. When they had found Marty he was chunky and out of shape, and now he was lean and muscle definition. "Have you asked her yet?" Bruce asked him.
"No sir. Ms. Lynn said you have to ask the father before the girl," Marty replied.
"If agrees, then I see no problem with it," Bruce informed him.
Marty sighed with relief, but before he could ask Buffy, she barked out, "No!"
"Oh boy," Naruto said.
Marty took a step back as the word hit him. Stepping closer, he tried to convince her. "Come on Buffy, it'll be fun."
"I'll be there, but not with a boy," Buffy proclaimed.
"Buffy--" Marty started, but then saw Buffy's face turn to stone. Marty turned around and walked away with his shoulders slumped.
Bruce looked at Buffy with irritation, "Buffy, that wasn't very nice. If you didn't want to go with him, then you didn't have to be so mean about it."
"I don't need a boy around. Now they'll leave me alone," Buffy replied, taking a bite of food.
Bruce took a deep breath but before he could address Buffy, Danny told him, "Dad, let me handle this."
Danny scotted her chair back, grabbed Buffy's arm, and pulled her outside the hall. THe clan that was left at the table started eating and most people were finished when Danny and Buffy came back in. Buffy sat down at the table, looking down at her lap.
"I'm sorry, Daddy," Buffy said looking up at Bruce.
"BB, you didn't hurt my feelings. I'm not the one you need to apologize to."
"Daddy, will you go tell him I'm sorry and I'll go to the dance with him?" Bruce begged.
I didn't hurt his feelings," Bruce complained, not wanting to have anything to do with fixing up one of his princesses. It was hard enough just to encourage Danny's relationship to Matt and he saw Matt as another son. As Buffy looked down at her plate, Bruce felt a kick from Debbie on his leg followed by one from Stephanie on his right. If looks could have killed, both would have fallen over dead as Bruce pushed his chair back and rubbed his shins.
Bruce stood up and walked over to Marty, who was sitting at a table full of young boys. He relayed Buffy's apology and told Marty she would go to the dance with him. Marty just smiled, unable to speak, as Bruce walked back to the command table. "I'll meet the command group in the den when y'all are ready to begin," Bruce said, walking out and calling Max to follow.
The command group finished eating and headed to the den/game room. Bruce finally entered and threw a pair of shin guards on the coffee table. Bruce sat down in his chair and asked Jake to go get his notebook off his nightstand.As Jake left, Debbie looked at the shin guards then at Bruce. "H- yeah, I'm fixing to start wearing 'em. That hurts, woman," Bruce told her.
"Infractions need consequences, if you are to learn" Debbie countered. Bruce just grumbled as Jake handed him his notebooks and sat down.
Paul stood up, not wanting Bruce to tell him to start. "All right, barracks four and five will be ready by the end of the week. The greenhouse for the medical herbs is already finished. The runway, as you all know, is up and running. I am fixing to prepare another twenty acres in front of the catfish pond for another garden and we're going to divide the chickens and put another chicken house on the west side of the property." Paul stopped, seeing Bruce's inquisitive look.
"Every time I talk to anyone in this family, they say 'Two is one and one is none," Paul said in response to the questioning look on Bruce's face. Hearing the answer, Bruce nodded his head in approval.
"Chickens would like that," Naruto agreed. "They been feeling cramp and been asking for more room."
Paul nodded and looked down at his notes. "With the two new barracks, we are close to the output of our electrical grid, not counting the trailer command center that Jake set up for the UAV. That d- thing uses some serious power in mission control. If we fill the other two barracks, we'll need more power. The system could handle it, but only barely. I would like a little wiggle room for error, and yes that's with the windmill operating."
Bruce interrupted, "Paul, how many more barracks could we build with the supplies we have now?"
"None," Paul replied.
Not surprised, Bruce continued, "I want another five besides the first five i want them doubled in occupancy. We will head out this week to gather the supplies and get more solar panels." Bruce took out the drawing Joe had given him for the new machine shop. "How long would it take to build this?"
Looking at the basic drawing, Paul answered, "Fourteen days."
Everyone looked at Bruce, wondering what he had given Paul. "That is the design Joe and Harry made for a new machine shop . The one we have is satisfactory, but is inadequate for us to grow. Also Paul, I want you to come up with a schoolhouse/decare building with a small fence-in back yard. The community center is not the place for teaching. It has too many distractions."
"How big are you thinking?" Paul asked.
"Let's start with at least two thousand to tree thousand square feet, and I also want the hall to be doubled in size. I want it to be able to accommodate everyone if we fill up all ten barracks."
Paul just sighed. "That's only twelve hundred people, Bruce. It's big enough now for that."
Bruce just nodded at Paul and said, "I want it to hold four thousand."
Paul started rubbing his temples, trying to stop the headache he felt coming on.
Mike laughed. "Bruce is good at giving people headaches."
"Are you sure you don't want a skyscraper?" Paul asked.
Looking off, Bruce toyed with that idea for a second. As Paul was fixing to tell Bruce he was kidding, Bruce replied, "No, not now. Maybe later. Paul continued updating about the farm, but all were projects were either finished or close to being finished. Then he sat down before Bruce wanted an ark.
Mike stood up next. "I want to request a change in command position," Mike said. "I want Shikamaru to be over reserve defenses for surprise attack from Gangs."
"Can I ask why?" Bruce asked.
"Mike and I talked about it, and we decided it would be good for someone to be over reserves incase we nEed to organize them to a certain area while having someone over the fence's defense," Shikamaru said. "It is easier just to divide the job than increase the work."
"Fine by me," Bruce said. It was voted on and approved.
"With that out of the way, I have mapped out where to put our firing positions, and I wanted to add several towers around the property. On the east and west side, ten each, north four, and south, two to be exact. Then we need to increase patrol to two teams of three men each around the clock and put three people in mission control. With the two in the fort, that puts the guard staff at fourteen at any time," Mike looked at Paul who was working out materials for the projects he had just added. "I want lighting installed throughout the farm for emergencies."
Paul threw his notebook down. "How much of the farm are you talking about?"
"Most of it," Mike replied, knowing he was contributing to Paul's headache.
"We want to be able to distinguish between friend and foe if we are overrun," Shikamaru said knowing a why was coming. "Reserves would decrease the chance of it, but it won't stop it completely. Better be safe than sorry. And we won't need them all on unless its an emergency, so we won't have to use as many unless we are overrun."
Bruce nodded, liking the idea, as Paul replied. "Okay, I understand. What else?"
"That's it for now. I have more plans but that is for stage two," Mike said, sitting back down.
Willie spoke up next. "I hate to rain on your parade here, but mission control needs to be moved or hardened," Everyone looked at him, except Paul, who just wanted to cry as he put his head in his hands. "If an assault does gain entry, these walls are not bulletproof. I know you have sandbags around the front of the house, but they only go up three feet. It would only take one bust from a weapon to wipe out the command center. Without someone to direct our attack, we lose our advantage of defense."
D-, I should've thought of that, Bruce thought as Mike asked, "Where do you propose we put it?"
"Dig a hole in the front yard next to the house, put some containers in it, set it up, then cover it up. All the wires run here, so moving it anywhere else woule be too time consuming. Also, I would put the entrance inside the house for added security. Like knock out the floor in mission control, making a staircase under the wall into it," Willie said.
Debbie and Nancy gasped at the idea, Paul leaned his head back, looked up at the ceiling and asked, "Why not just put an elevator in?"
"Well, that's a great idea. I just thought stairs would be easier," Willie remarked.
"They are, I was being a smart a-," Paul responded.
"So was I," Willie answered smiling.
Paul looked at Bruce with a look that spoke volumes. "I'm going to need a week to look at it."
Bruce nodded and stood up. "Sounds good. Now, I have the list from the pilots on what they need. At Fort Polk, they have simulators, and we need them. Also, we'll load the helicopters on flat beds and drive them here. They figured they can have the first group of pilots ready by mid-January. I want to lead a group down Monday to get them--" Bruce stopped as everyone objected.
Mike spoke first. "No way. You'll bring back the entire base if they could even get you to leave this time."
"No Bruce. Mike is right. You have enough toys right now. Someone else can go," Debbie said in a voice that impled no argument.
"Plus Henry Li would give you a piece of his mind if you don't take Monday off," Naurto said. Then Others started adding their two cents.
Bruce listened to the argument and finally gave in, saying, "All right, d- it! Willie and Connor can lead the team."
"Why not Naruto," Shikamaru asked.
"Because he knows absolutely nothing about weapons and this world tech and he might bring in stuff we can't use," Bruce said. "We still got all those antique guns he collected from the Dam we still can't use."
"You said collect anything that resembles a gun that can shoot! How the h- was I supposed to know there are guns we can't use?" Naruto argued.
Connor raised his hand. "Just what are we bringing back?" he asked, not wanting to repeat Naruto's mistake.
"Besides the simulators, manuals, ammo, flight suits, and all the equipment needed for for the choppers," Bruce replied, looking down the list. 'Six Blackhawks, four Apaches, two Kiowas, four Loaches, two more Bradleys, ten Hummers, and more RG-33Ls, Cougars 6x6 mine resistant vehicles (MRV's) that are bigger than the RG's. I also want support equipment for all of them."
"Of course you do. If you break one of your toys, you want to fix them," Debbie responded in a smart-a- voice.
Ignoring her, Bradley explained, "You know what the helicopters are for, but with the two extra Bradleys we can have one on each wall to fire at attackers. WIth four more Strykers, we'll have a total of twenty-six and twenty Hummers. Those are what we will use for patrols which are fixing to kick into high gear. Jake and Sai already found dozens of groups of survivors around us since the real UAVs came on line. I'm sending sixty men and forty trucks to Polk Monday morning and they have to be back by Tuesday morning. Another group of sixty will leave then and head to Shreveport to gather supplies. Wednesday we start seeing if people want to join us."
"Are you going to ask Marcus if he want to join us Sunday?" Mike inquired.
"I already did this morning, and he is sending twenty people down with our group to get some Strykers and Hummers," Bruce answered as Mike nodded.
Bruce continued, asking for lists of request by Sunday night for the Shreveport run. Looking at Connor and WIllie, he told them to get together and plan out their run. The meeting continued until 2300. Bruce told the kids and Naruto he wanted to see them in his room with the spouses. Then Bruce just looked at Mike, and he nodded his head.
Upstairs, Bruce went into his room and waited on everyone. When everyone was in, there was very little room left. Handing two sheets of paper to Jake, Bruce asked, "Can all that fit in two large moving trucks or do we need to use Naruto's sealing jutsu?"
Looking at the list then handing it back, Jake answered. "It should fit."
"Bruce, what are you doing?" Debbie demanded.
"Not me. 'We' are going Christmas shopping Sunday night for the clan. We are getting laptops, LED TVs, X-Boxes, and kid toys. We will put the trucks inside the shop until Christmas," Bruce told them. Everyone smiled and thought it was a great idea.
"Tonya raised her hand. "Why laptops and electronics? Paul just said we were taxing the power."
"Paul said we would if all the barracks were full, which they aren't, but it doesn't matter. WE are going to upgrade our system. The clan needs distractions, and I want everyone to have a laptop because we are starting classes."
Tonya nodded in agreement. Naruto asked next: "Why don't you just have me seal them up until christmas?"
"I was going to ask you to do that if we didn't have enough room to put it all in two trucks, but you can do that after we get the stuff," Bruce said.
Naruto nodded as Mike inquired, "Why in the middle of the night?"
"It's colder, and I want it to be a surprise." Bruce answered. "We will only be using the NVGs so nobody will see us in town with such a light force. Now if it turns warm between now and then, this is a moot point. The group talked it over a few more minutes and then everyone went to their rooms to go to bed, or in Naruto's case: is barracks.
The next day, which was the day of the dance Naruto came to the center to see the clan sat around playing cards and games. Akamaru and Max were chasing each other but Naruto didn't see Bruce.
"Where's Bruce?" Naruto asked sitting down at the head table after getting his breakfast.
"We let him sleep in," Debbie replied.
"Where's Sakura?" Naruto asked noting his pink hair teammate wasn't at the table.
"Ino dragged her to talk about dance and girl stuff," Shikamaru yawned.
"She tried to drag me too, but I'm not much into that kind of stuff," Temari said. "I did promise them to meet at Ino's Barrack's to get ready."
Bruce joined shortly after. After luch Bruce and Mike started up a game of kickball until supper. Naruto got Sai Choji Kiba Konohamaru and Udon to take part as Kankaro Shino and Shikamaru decided to sit it out. No jutsus were allowed, but that didn't mean most of the Shinobi didn't dominate the game.
By Supper everyone headed off to get ready for the dance. Not having anything else to wear besides the gear he got from the clan, Naruto decided to wear his old black bodysuit with red and blue stripes going down the sleeves of arms and legs. Naruto had asked Millie to patch up any damages from his battle with Nagato. Naruto decided to leave his headband behind as he wanted to look casual.
"Ready to go, Naruto?" Sai asked wearing his old ninja clothes as well.
"Sai what the heck!" Naruto responded.
"What? This is my ninja clothes?" Sai asked.
""That's the problem," Naruto pointed out as Sai's grey and black shirt cut off at hid midsection.
"Oh, I guess this would be inappropriate for the occasion," Sai noted.
"Hold on, I think I got a spare T-shirt," Naruto dug through his clothes.
Naruto got Sai into a grey shirt to wear under his clothes.
Finally they left to return to the center. Most of the clan, mainly the girls, took the time to dress up, where as most of the men at least dressed casual. Bruce was one of few still wearing his ACUs. Ino had manage to get Sakura Hinata Moegi and Temari into dresses.
"Where did Ino find all those dresses?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know," Shikamaru said, wearing his ACU and pants as wes Choji. Kankaro and Shino was on guard duty.
After super, the tables were moved to moved to one side while Jake and Matt set up the stereo for the music. True to form, they had played two songs, and no one had gotten to the dance floor. When they started the third song, Bruce took off his gear, hung it on the wall, and grabbed Debbie to go dance. Soon enough, everyone else joined in.
The party lasted until midnight, with several people getting drunk, but there were no fight, as everyone was just happy to be alive and have a moment break.On Sunday morning, those who drank too much sauce were paying the price as they sat in the hall trying to eat breakfast.
After the Sunday meeting, movies were started and Father Thomas was driven over to Marcus' clan to give them Sunday service. Before supper, Willie and Conner gathered up the group heading down south and laid out the plan and items they were after.
That night Naruto joined Bruce's and Mike's family at 2200 and went to Shreveport to hit the electronic stores, stopping first and getting two 27-foot moving trucks. It was below freezing so they didn't worry about blues, but no one turned on any lights, not wanting to advertise their presence. When the trucks were full, they headed back to the farm, pulling in at 0420. Even though the family was tired, nobody went to sleep when they returned.
Naruto got to work seeling up the 'presents', already having to deal with peekers trying to get a look. Fortunately Kankaro Joe and Harry were all too happy to scared them off.
That evening Bruce got Naruto and Sai along with the rest of his teams together to brief them on the Shreveport run. They would leave at 0900 after the returning convoy was unloaded.
Naruto passed out after supper not even knowing or caring if Sai was there.
A/N: Well it's October and I decided to work on a fanfiction that involves the horror genre. I actually thought of doing The Tales of the Heroes of the Stand, but then I decided to stick to the anime/manga theme fanfictions I been doing to catch up on fanfictions based on anime/manga and although Blue Plague Nine-Tail Fox's Son is far from an old fanfiction I haven't worked on for a while, The Nine-Tail Fox's Son that been used in this cross over is based off the Naruto manga series. So that's why I decided to work on it.
Sorry if the dance isn't what you expect, but thats actually how the author had it and honestly I never been to a dance so I couldn't really add much based on experience.
