Merry Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve, and thank you for all the support. If you do not celebrate Christmas, then happy Sunday to you.

This bonus does NOT effect the story line in any way.

This will not make sense nor will it have any real plot. I know some people do not celebrate Christmas like some others and I may, so it is not as festive as the bonus tomorrow will be. This is more of a... crack bonus, I believe you call it. 

Third person pov

Naruto could still remember when Christmas was his favorite time of year. There was so much snow, and people were always just a little bit nicer to him around this time of year. Not only that, but after actually making a few friends, he was invited to their parties. Their team would go out for barbecue, and the Hyuga's would host one of the largest celebrations in Konoha. Plus, he actually had people to go to the festival with. People who wouldn't let him get tripped, or let fruit get thrown at him.

But as the war raged on, Christmas became a morose time. It was saddening, really. They'd do their best to gather together, and to remember those they lost. There were no gifts, no Christmas tree. Not even a special sort of meal, one that wasn't just rations. They'd just get together and hold hands, and they'd cry. They'd cry, and pray for it all to end soon.

But now, back in time, things were different.

"So what're your families doing for Christmas?" Naruto asked as he and his two comrades walked down the street. The Hokage, Shikaku Nara and Fugaku Uchiha trailed close behind. Ibiki was out on a mission, which left the Third to watch Naruto. Although, Genma was there was well, per Ibiki's request. The senbon master had no idea why his boss cared so much for this brat, but he supposed it didn't matter. 

"I don't know." Sasuke shrugged. "Christmas stuff, I guess."

"How descriptive of you." Shikamaru's mumble earned him a harsh elbow in the gut. The Nara turned to glare at the Uchiha, who glared right back. Naruto shook his head at the two.  And they called him childish. Even if they were only eight. "Guys, it's Christmas eve. How do you not know?" The Uzumaki scoffed, rolling his eyes.

You'd have to be blind or an idiot not to know it wasn't Christmas. Lights and twirling garland practically covered the entire village. Inflatable snowmen and Santa hats seemed to be the newest craze around town, and Sasuke swore he'd seen a group of children all dressed as elves running about. It was almost terrifying.

"Naruto." Shikaku stepped forward. "How would you like to join my family for Christmas? I'm sure Yoshino would be delighted."

"Huh?" Naruto turned and squinted up at him. Shikaku opened his mouth to repeat his answer, but got cut off by something odd. Kakashi Hatake, running from the forest like it was on fire. Only the forest wasn't on fire, and Kakashi looked like he'd just been through hell and back. Blood poured from his Sharingan eye, which was in a pinwheel pattern now. Fugaku stiffened at the sight.

"Kakashi?" The Third called to the young man, who whirled around and stared at him like he was insane. Naruto sucked in a sharp breath of air, glancing at his two friends. "Another back?" Shikamaru's voice was kept low, as not to alert his father or the other three adults behind them. "I think so." Sasuke mumbled. "But why now? Most people who were going to come back came back within the first few weeks or so." 

"It doesn't matter now." Naruto said as Kakashi clutched his hair, letting out and pained scream. The Third jumped as the man crouched down, slumping against the wall. He lightly banged on his head with his fists. "Get out!" He shrieked, his voice a pitch higher than what it should have been. "Get out, you bastard! Get out!"

"Sensei, stop it!" Naruto darted forward before Shikamaru, who was now saying some very colorful words, could stop him. Sasuke didn't hesitate to chase after his Hokage, who all but dove into Kakashi's arms, ready to slap some sense into the man. Kurama, who had already made three bathroom jokes in the span on three minutes, was ready too.

"His cheeks look pretty flushed." Kurama said. "He also looks a little... pissed off. Do you think it's an effect of the future he just came from, or is there an... option two."

Naruto ignored Kurama as he continued. "Get off of me!" He shrieked, shoving desperately at Naruto. The blonde panicked. "Merry Chrysler!" He screamed, hugging him around the neck despite his clear protests. Kakashi pulled out a kunai, spinning it in his hand. Sasuke let out a screech. "U-Uh-" Sasuke hugged the man's arms before he could stab Naruto in the back. "Merry Christmas!"

"Boys, get off of him!" Shikaku panicked as Kakashi thrashed under him. "You think Kakashi has to go?" Kurama winked, laughing. "Not the time!" Naruto kneed Kakashi in the gut. "He's trying to stab me! He's so trying to stab me!" 

"Kakashi, stand down!" The Third couldn't really get to Kakashi with the two boys on him, and Shikamaru looked pretty close to joining them too. The Nara couldn't believe this was happening now, but he couldn't really do anything, so he was going to have to roll with it. "Get off of him." Fugaku ordered Sasuke. It didn't work. It never worked anymore.

"Get off!" Kakashi's kunai dug into Naruto's back, earning an angered screech from Genma. Ibiki was going to kill the man. "You're not real! This isn't real! I have to break it, before they get to Sasuke. You hear me?! Obito is going to kill Sasuke."

"Ye of little faith!" Naruto slapped the man in his face, and Kakashi tried to bite his fingers in return. Sasuke's stub was waving wildly, and he was kicking Kakashi's thigh repeatedly in attempts to get him to stop. It wasn't working. Shikamaru knew he had to step in. He had to calm Kakashi down.

"I KNOW YOU USE A HIGHLIGHTER ON YOUR PORN!" Shikamaru barreled into the Hatake before he could stab Naruto again. The four dumbfounded, horrified adults present froze before they recoiled. What was Shikamaru talking about, and how did he even know what Porn was? He was eight, and didn't even know who Kakashi was.

"Oh." Kakashi dropped his kunai, blinking at them. The Hokage choked slightly at how easily that single phrase calmed the panicking man. Why was he panicking, and why was he talking about Obito killing Sasuke? Nothing was making sense anymore. "So what did you idiots do this time?"

"It's Christmas eve and we're going to buy a tree, okay?" Naruto stretched as his wound closed. Shikamaru winced at the huge spot of blood on the boy's back, but decided not to mention it. It would be find. Everything would be fine.

"Kakashi, y-you stabbed Naruto!" The Third sputtered, rushing forward. Kakashi blinked, pulling his headband down. Why was the Third here if the Third was dead? Obito, who was the only one who could have possibly placed him into a genjutsu he couldn't break out of, didn't know he highlighted parts of his porn. Unless he did, in which case Kakashi was very scared. If Obito knew that, there was definitely no way they were winning this war.

"He's fine." Kakashi assured. Shikaku and Fugaku didn't know what to say, and Genma had passed out ages ago. "It was a skit." Shikamaru gestured to Naruto. "That? That's ketchup. You guys can go. We're going to go buy a tree."

Pulling the mildly-disoriented Kakashi to his feet, Sasuke took the liberty of forcing the reindeer antlers his mother had made him wear onto the man's head. He just blinked, confused and a little dizzy as Sasuke, Naruto and Shikamaru shoved him down an alley way. And all Shikaku, Fugaku, and The Third could do was stand there, speechless as they tried to soak in what they'd seen.
