Chapter 24
Naruto was walking through the village. He held his Chunin Exam papers as he sighed "Man, this is gonna be tuff," he said, "and I'm nowhere near ready! The Chunin Exams are in four days and I've got nothing to show for it! That and my best friends are an Emo, Sakura-chan, and a woman who hits me all the time... still, best I'm ever gonna get out of this shit hole... huh, wonder where that came from?" Naruto said to himself. Still walking along, he put his papers as he pulled out the mask he got from Luna "I know it's fake... but man, best gift I've ever got from someone other than the old man," he whispered as he put it on, "man, this is sick!"
"I see you're now just starting to wear the thing?" said a voice from behind Naruto as he turned around to see Luna
"L-Luna?! What are you doing here?!" Naruto asked
"I came to see my favorite student!" Luna said as she walked over and ruffled his hair, "wanna grab a bite to eat?"
"R-really?"
"Sure! My treat!" Luna replied with a grin as Naruto lifted his mask and smiled back
"Gee! Thanks!" Naruto said, "Are we going to Ichiraku?"
"I was thinking BBQ, you need more than Ramen, Naruto," Luna said as Naruto's smile faded
"Awww, really? But I love Ramen!" Naruto complained. Luna shook her head as she smirked "It's free food, Naruto. Most would jump at the chance to get some," Luna stated
"I know, I just love ramen and was hoping for it," Naruto replied
"There's more to life than just ramen! Expand your horizons!" Luna said as she picked him up, "Now stop your nagging, dude, and let's get to eating! It's Lunch anyways!"
"HEY! PUT ME DOWN!" Naruto screamed as she smirked
"No way, dude! You're gonna have to fight me! HAHAHAHA!"
"GAH! LINCOLN! LUAN! HELL, KAKASHI! HELP ME! I'M BEING KIDNAPPED! HELP!" Naruto shouted as Luna giggled. As Luna ran off carrying Naruto bridal style, two figures appeared where Luna and Naruto once stood. One wore a Bear ANBU mask and wore the standard ANBU outfit while the other had a Boar ANBU mask and wearing a white hooded cloak with the ANBU outfit underneath "It's nice to see Naruto-kun have someone like that," said the Boar-masked ANBU
"Yeah... I don't like it," said the Bear-masked ANBU
"Excuse me?" the Boar-masked ANBU asked as he leaked some killing intent
"I-I don't mean it like that!" the Bear-masked ANBU said as he put his hands in front of him, "It's just, doesn't she seem trying to get a little close to him? She's acting like a mother!"
"Now that you mention it,"
"See! Even you're suspicious,"
"Yeah, I understand. But what exactly are you getting at? Are you saying that she might be planning to kill him or take the Kyuubi?" the Boar-masked ANBU suggested. The Bear-masked ANBU shrugged as he said: "I don't know and I'm not willing to find out if she does, you're welcome to kill me if she doesn't,"
"I see your concern, after all, ninja are masters of illusion. But at the same time," the Boar ANBU said as he crossed his arms, "putting that much money into a kid you're going to kill,"
"Still,"
"We need to report this to Lord Hokage,"
"Please, let's," the Bear ANBU said as they both vanished in a swirl of leaves.
With Lincoln:
"Alright, what to do, what to do," Lincoln asked himself as he walked through the market area of Konoha. He watched as people walked by him, children laughing as they played, it put a small smile on his face 'Man... I would kill to have grown up like them,' he thought as he looked up and saw a book store "Wonder if they got anything to read?" he whispered as saw something in the window. He couldn't believe his eyes as he gripped his heart. He was having a heart attack. His breath quickened as he fell to the ground and gasped. Trying to steady his breathing, his Curse Mark activated as his breath didn't calm down "Hey, man! You alright?" asked a man as he exited the book store
"T-that book," Lincoln said as his world started to darken
"Hey, man, keep it together! SOMEONE HELP!" the man shouted as Lincoln blacked out
With Luan:
Luan was in... a dress store of all places. She was looking for a dress to wear as she passed through each isle "Man, nothing in my size," she whispered, "and I go nothing else to wear. This is gonna be one weird date,"
"Excuse me?" said a voice from behind her, "do you need some help?". Luna turned around to see a woman with long black untamed hair reaching her upper back, and very unique eyes that are red in color, with an additional ring in them. She wore make-up consisting of red lipstick and purple eye shadow. Her outfit consisted of a red mesh armor blouse with only the right sleeve visible. Overall of this is a very broad material which resembles bandages with a pattern on it similar to those of rose thorns. Her hands and upper thighs are also wrapped in bandages and she wore the Konoha forehead protector and regular shinobi sandals "Umm, yeah. I got my first date tonight and I've got nothing to wear," Luan said as she scratched nervously behind her head
"First date? Who's the lucky man?" she asked
"Bah, I would rather not say... also, Name's Luan Loud,"
"Kurenai, Kurenai Yuhi," replied Kurenai, "now I don't know all that much about fashion, but I would go with something simple,"
"Really?"
"Yeah, you don't want to show off too much, might give him the wrong idea,"
"You've been on many dates?" Luan asked as Kurenai blushed. Looking away, she blew some air as she said: "Once or twice, but the man I'm dating it kinda laid back and doesn't really care about what I wear," as she pulled a dress off the rack, "I actually wore what I'm wearing now for my first date,"
"Really? Just that?" Luan asked in disbelieve
"Hai, now how do you like this color?" Kurenai asked as he held up a yellow and green dress to Luan "it seems your colors, but I don't know for sure,"
"Yeah, this is really dis-dress-ful," Luan said as Kurenai couldn't help but giggle
"Really? Dis-dress-ful?"
" Hehehe, sorta my curse, but you gotta admit it was a little bit funny," Luan said as Kurenai put the dress back
"So I gotta ask, who's the lucky guy?"
"That's his name?"
"Hmm?"
"His name's Guy," Luan said as Kurenai's jaw dropped to the ground
"G-Guy?! As in, Might Guy?!"
"Yeah, I think. Why? You know him?" Luan asked as Kurenai turned around
"I-I gotta go," Kurenai said as she tried not to burst out laughing. Luan sighed as Kurenai walked off before she could get some help "Aww come on! Can this day get any worse?" she said as an ANBU appeared behind her
"Luan Loud?" she asked
"Who's asking?"
"It's your brother, he's in the hospital,"
"WHAT?!"
With Luna and Naruto:
Naruto had his mask on the side of his face as he ate cooked beef. Luna smiled as she was eating a bowl of rice with some cooked chicken and pork. Taking a bite, she saw that Naruto was eating his food slowly as she raised an eyebrow "You not feeling well?" Luna asked
"Hmm?" Naruto replied
"You're not eating as fast as you normally do,"
"Really?" Naruto asked, "I didn't notice," he continued as he took a bite of his food. Luna cocked her head as she watched him "So~~~~, how was your day?" Luna asked him
"Eh, good. You hit me, Sasuke's being trained by Kakashi, Sakura is being tortured, Hisako gave me a picture," Naruto said as Luna cringed, "but, other than that, it's been good,"
"Hey, you graduate my teachings when you learn to get out of the way," Luna commented with a smile. Naruto smiled back as he said: "Well you won't be able to teach me when I'm Hokage! You'll be too slow to even lay a finger on me!"
"That a bet?" Luna asked
"It's a promise! Believe it!" Naruto said as Luna started to laugh. Naruto still smiled, but it started to fade before Luna said: "I'll keep you up to that promise. But for now, relax, and spend some time with this awesome sensei you got right here," as an ANBU appeared next to them
"Luna Loud?" he asked
"May I help you?" Luna asked
"It's Lincoln Loud, he's in the hospital,"
"WHAT?!" Naruto and Luna shouted
"Would you like me to take you there?"
"WHAT KIND OF STUPID QUESTION IS THAT! YES, TAKE US THERE!" Luna shouted as she grabbed Naruto after leaving some money. After they vanished, Kureni ran into the establishment shouting "ASUMA! ASUMA YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS!"
With Lincoln, 2 Hours Later:
Lincoln opened his eyes as he saw a white ceiling. Raising his hand to cover his eyes, he sat up and saw that he was in a hospital bed "DADDY/SENSEI/BRO!" he heard as Hisako, Naruto, Luna, and Luan jumped on him
"GAH! GUYS, OFF! OFF!" Lincoln shouted as they all got off him, "W-what happened? Why am I in the hospital?"
"You don't remember?" Luan asked
"No? All I remember doing was walking through the market wh- THE BOOK!" Lincoln said as he hopped off the bed and ran to the door
"Bro! LINC! Sit back down! NOW!" Luna ordered as she grabbed him
"NO! That book! I NEED THAT BOOK!" Lincoln shouted as he tried to escape from Luna
"Lincoln! You had a heart attack! Sit back in the hospital bed before we give you more of a reason to!" Luan said as she got in front of him
"I don't get it? What's all this about a book?" Naruto asked
"What's so special about this book, Daddy's talking about?" Hisako questioned. Luna dragged Lincoln back to his bed as he continued to struggle "Alright, bro, how about we make a deal? You stop struggling like a pig being sent to the slaughterhouse, and we'll buy the book. Deal?" Luna asked as Lincoln stopped struggling. Luna slowly let go of him as Lincoln looked at her "A-alright... I-I'll stay," Lincoln said
"Good, now what's the name of the book?" Luna asked with a smile as Lincoln started to shake
"I-It's called... A-A Rocker, A Comedian, and A White-Rabbit Lived in A House... By: Rita Loud,"
