Konoha Meet the Akatsuki
Chapter 4 “Konoha Meet the Akatsuki”
“Okay I got the side car attached.”
“Are you sure this is safe?”
“It’s perfectly safe Kora don’t you trust me?” Naruto asked as he helped the pianist into the side car.
“About as far as I can through you.”
“I guest that’s a lot, cause the last time you tossed me during a spar I flew a couple of yards.” Naruto laughed as he settled Kyuubi on her lap and buckled them both in.
“I guess it’s a good thing I’m blind then I won’t see your bad driving.”
“Ha, ha you are so funny Kora I forgot to laugh.”
“Hurry Aniki I’ll be late!”
“Don’t worry Kyu-chan they won’t start without you. You’re the star!” Naruto smiled as he kick started the bike. Kyuubi squealed as the pulled out of the driveway and on the road Sukora shrieked and held the chibi tightly as Naruto sped to Shuriken.
By the time they arrived they saw a lot of familiar cars. Naruto parked then help Kyuubi and Sukora out of the side car. They dropped Kyubbi off at his class and made their way to the auditorium where they were met by the dragon lady. Naruto gritted his teeth when she walked up to them. Sukora could feel the blond tense and knew something was wrong. She slipped her hand into his to give him some emotion support letting him know he was not alone.
“I see you made it Mr. Uzumaki.” Utatane said tightly. “And who is this?” motioning to the petite girl in a Christmas red dress.
“This is Sukora Morino she is lives at Rasengan and is the pianist for Kyuubi’s class. Sukora this is Mrs. Utatane the Principle.”
“Ohayoogozaimasu.” Sukora bowed.
“Thank you for helping Ms. Morino it is most appreciated.”
“You’re welcome. I’m happy to do this for Kyuubi he is a great kid. Naruto can you lead me to the piano?”
“Sure thing Kora.”
“It was nice meeting you.” She bowed before being led to the piano.
“Thanks Emerald you really saved me there.”
“No worries Blue Eyes, this is Kyuubi’s day that old battle axe is not going to ruin it. Now go find a seat before all the good ones are taken.” The green eyed girl smiled as she gent pushed Naruto towards the audience.
Naruto started to scan the room for a seat when he heard someone call out to him. He turned and his jaw just dropped. Everyone from Rasengan was there except for Shizune and Kabuto because they were still at the hospital. Even all the guys from the café were there From Ichiraku the café cook and his daughter Ayame to Old man Sarutobi, his uptight nephew Ebisu and Konohamaru. His middle school let out the day before so he brought his two best friends Moegi and Udon to Kyuubi’s play.
“Naruto over here we saved you a seat.” Haku called out. He was a slender man about as tall as Naruto with long hair down to his mid back. He looked so delicate that people often mistaken him for a woman especially when standing next to his 6’10 tall lover like he was now. Naruto wanted to bust up laughing because the other parents were edging a way from the Rasengan Family mostly from Zabuza, Pein, Zetsu, and Ibiki.
“Wow you guys! I’m glad you could make it Kyuubi’s gonna be so happy.”
“We wouldn’t miss this for the world.” Kurenai said as she hugged the whiskered teen. “I even have Asuma up front with the camera so we can play it back for Shizune and Kabuto. I even took the lens cap off for him to ensure he doesn’t mess this up like he did at Kyuubi birthday last year.”
“Thanks Kurenai you’re the best.”
“Hey dickless sit down and shut up its starting.”
“Shut up Sai this is a school filled with young children you pervert.” Naruto smacked the dark haired artist up side the head before taking his seat. The pageant went on without a hitch. They started with the upper grades and worked their way down. Finally it was Kyuubi’s big moment. The class performed the story of Rudolph the red nose reindeer and Kyuubi was the star in the costume Naruto had made. He looked like a stuffed reindeer come to life and was so cute with his blinking red nose. The children sang along with the piano even if they were a bit off key.
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
Kyuubi skipped to the center of the stage and pointed to his blinking nose.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
The other reindeer dressed kids pointed and pretended to laugh as Kyuubi hung his sadly.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
A little kid dressed as Santa came up to Kyubbi and sang loudly.
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Kyuubi nodded his head so hard his antlers almost fell off.
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
The mini reindeers mobbed Kyuubi pretending to cheer before lining up in front of the sleigh.
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!
The children sang and waved as the pulled the small cardboard sleigh off stage.
The crowd cheered and the children ran out and took a bow and then Sukora took a small bow for her piano playing. The Rasengan family cheered louder then anyone else scaring most of the other parents. Kyuubi jumped up and down waving at the crowd they he shuffled off stage with the rest of the class. Audience listened to the Principle’s ending speech before moving to collect their children.
“Thanks again for coming. Hey if you’re all here than who’s at The Café?”
“I closed it for the morning no one wanted to miss, Kyuubi Uzumaki’s big debut.” Old man Sarutobi laughed. “We’ll see you both later tonight and the ramen is on the house.
“You’re awesome! I’m going to go grab Sukora and Kyuubi then I’ll meet you all Rasengan before I head on to school.”
“You better drive slowly I want my daughter home in one piece.”
“I will Captain.” Naruto saluted to Ibiki before running off. ‘One Christmas program down and one to go.’
XxXxXxXxXxX
After Dropping off Sukora and Kyuubi at Rasengan he unhooked the side car and sped off for Konoha in time to make it for economics with his ghoulish looking teacher Tenzo Yamato. Even after three years the guy’s eyes still freaked him out Naruto shuttered before entering the class.
“Hurry up Uzumaki-san were about to start the movie.”
“Hai Sensei.” Naruto slipped into his chair behind Kiba next to Kankurou. Once the lights were off and the movie started to play the teen dark haired teens began questioning him not known someone was eavesdropping on them.
“Where were you Naruto?”
“Yeah Gaara was in a foul mood this morning because you left him alone with Deidara!” Kankurou complained.
“Oh shit, I for forgot about that. Man I hope Raccoon eyes isn’t to mad at me.”
“You know you are the only one who can call him that and live right?”
“Gaara’s not so bad. I’ll find him and grovel, and then all will be well again.” Naruto smirked. Gaara was Kankurou and Temari’s baby brother. He was a year younger than Naruto but he didn’t want to be separated from His brother and sister so he skipped a grade. He was a stoic red head with a history of mental problems. He had even killed his uncle in self defense because Gaara’s mother died in child birth; his uncle blamed him for the death of his beloved sister and attacked him. He had Love tattooed in Kanji on his forehead, when his father started calling him a monster, determined to love only himself and push everyone else away. That was until Naruto transferred to Konoha, he plowed right throw the moody teens defenses till there was nothing left but a less moody teen and one of Naruto’s best friends.
“I don’t know Deidara pinched his cheeks.”
“OH no I’m dead.” Naruto moaned dropping his head on his desk. Deidara was a tall blond college student/ Teachers Assistant he had a thing for red heads. He thought Gaara was the cutest thing because he was the youngest of the group and would baby him unless Naruto ran interference.
“So where were you?” Kiba persisted.
“Just a family thing for my brother.” Truthful but evasive, Kiba and Kankurou were easily swayed but the raven who was listening to them was not.
The bell rang and before anyone could catch the blond he was gone and out the door. He had an art teacher to find. He made his way to the corridor he wasn’t surprised to find the sign up on the door saying that classes were canceled once again. Naruto just ignored the sing and entered the room in search of his masked sliver-haired teacher.
“Go away there is no class today.” A sorrowful voice called out.
“Classes were canceled yesterday Kakashi-sensei.” He found the art teacher sitting in the corner facing the wall. He was so depressed you could almost see a gray rain cloud over his head.
“Oh it’s you, Naruto… what do you want? Did you come to gloat? That you were right that Iruka will never go out with a pervert like me?” Naruto wince at the cutting remarks. ‘Iruka-sensei must have really let him have it.’
“I take that Iruka-sensei said ‘no’ to spending Christmas with you.” Kakashi slumped his shoulders further in depression. “How did you ask him?”
“I went up to Iruka and asked ‘Iruka darling come away with me and we can explore our nice and Naughty side.’ Then he shouted ‘no’ in my face then left.”
“BAKA-SENSEI!” Naruto punch Kakashi in the head. “That’s a line I’d expect from Ero-Sennin!”
“Where did you think I got it from?” the sliver haired man sobbed who now had a huge bump on his head.
“Sensei, how is Iruka-sensei supposed to believe me; when I try and tell him you’re an okay guy, if you follow Ero-Sennin’s advice or worst his books?” The Blond pinched the bridge of his nose. “Fine, Plan B it is then!”
“Plan B I don’t have a plan B.” Kakashi’s head popped up and turned to face his student before cowering back at the evil smirk that appeared on the teenager’s face.
“You don’t but I do.”
XxXxXxXx
“Aniki why can’t I go see you sing?” Kyuubi asked sadly as they walked up to Asuma and Kurenai’s apartment. After He straightened out Kakashi’s mood he had started to put things in motion to get Iruka-sensei to notice that Kakashi wasn’t a bad guy and deserved a chance. Friday passed pretty quickly and it was now Saturday time to be tortured by his own school performance.
“Because it’ll soon be your bedtime Kyu-chan. But you’ll have fun, Konohamaru will there to keep you company.”
“Really?” The chibi asked just as the door to the apartment opened.
“Hey there little man! You me and Udon are going to have a lot of guy fun no grownups allowed!” Konohamaru said excitedly
“Yay! Bye Aniki!” Kyuubi squealed happily running after the older boy.
“Thanks for watching him Asuma.”
“No problem sport they’ll knock out soon enough. You better get going it’s almost 7.”
“Shit! Thanks again!” Naruto looked at his watch and ran up the stairs to pick up Sukora.
He passed Pein and Zetsu moving equipment to the van.
“Fox this is the last of the gear we’re going to pick up Sasori at the café and then we’ll head over to the academy.”
“Great Pein, I’ll get Sukora and we’ll meet you there.” Naruto bumped his fist with the band leader’s fist before heading on up to the Morino Apartment.
“Come on in Haku is finishing up her makeup.” Ibiki growled as he let the blond teen in. “Sukora the punk is here.”
“Papa! Be nice!” Sukora said as she walked out to the living room in a long elegant green velvet dress that really brought the out the green in her eyes.
“You truly are the Emerald of Rasengan. If I didn’t think of you as my annoying sister I would have asked you for a date.” Naruto said as he kissed her soft delicate hand.
“You wouldn’t date me if you didn’t think of me as a sister I’m lacking a few things.”
“True but you look gorgeous tonight thank you for doing this and performing at my unworthy snotty school.”
“You’re right and you owe me big Uzumaki.” Sukora tried to glare in the direction of Naruto’s voice as he slipped her band cloak over her bare shoulders.
“You better drive extra slow Uzumaki most of the roads are iced over.”
“I will Captain, I’ll treat her like a princess.”
“You better, if you don’t I still have friends in the FBI.”
“Papa!”
“Let get going Kora. I put your cane in you cloak pocket.”
“Then I’m ready to go.”
XxXxXxXxXx
Shino was checking the list he had for everything that needed to be done in order for the production to run smoothly. As MC of this Years Christmas Production it was his to account for everyone arriving on time and being in place on cue; but things were not going smoothly and not everyone was here or ready for there cue.
‘The only Reason I took this stupid job was so I wouldn’t have to perform.’ He thought before going out to introduce Hinata, Ino, Tenten and Sakura performing the Nutcracker Suite ballet and they somehow roped Neji into playing the Nutcracker. The huge Auditorium was packed with parents and siblings from the Wealthiest families in Fire country. The Uchihas backed this year’s performance and all the costumes were made by the finest designers of the fashion world everything was near perfect except for the finale act.
Shino returned to the back stage once again looking to see if Naruto had arrived yet. He had no idea what to expect from the whiskered scarred teen. His name was added to the program at the last minute and there were no costume or props order. If he had not school himself against such childish actions he would be panicking and throwing a tantrum. He was about to make another round in search of the Uzumaki when he saw a sight that made him stop in his tracks and suddenly his tuxedo felt very warm. There standing alone quietly in the middle of the fray of the backstage was a girl in a long green Dress with her hair partially up with soft black and red curls framing her face and her eyes shined like emeralds in the light. Shino suddenly found himself walking towards her as if his feet had a mind of their own.
“Excuse me Miss are you lost?”
“No I’m waiting for someone.”
“If you are family of a performer I must ask you to wait in the Audience.”
“Shino relax she’s performing with me.” Shino turned to see Naruto walking up to them wearing a huge black cloak with red clouds. “Sorry I took so long I was helping the others unload the van.”
“No problem where are they?”
“They’re coming just finishing setting up. Hey Shino we need a piano got one lying around.”
“We saw on in the corner.” Said a tall green haired teen as he approached the trio.
“Awesome Zetsu!” Shino turned to see three guys also dressed in Black cloaks with red clouds.
“Shino! You’re up!” Kiba called on the wireless radio that was in his ear.
“I’m on my way Kiba. Uzumaki you’re on in ten minutes.” The shade wearing announced as his duty pulled him away from the mysterious girl that was with Naruto.
“I’m going to take Sukora over to the piano let her use to it before they roll it on stage.”
“Everything is set up we’ll see you in ten.” Pein said as he watched the two walk off.
“Why are we here Pein?” Sasori asked as he looked to his older brother.
“Because, ‘The Fox’ is making a statement.”
“And what is that brother?”
“Don’t Screw with Naruto Uzumaki or you might just get burned.”
XxXxXxXxXx
“Who is the girl Shino?” Kiba asked once the MC returned from announcing the Sabaku Siblings’ rendition of ‘Twas the Night before Christmas’.
“I don’t know but she is with Naruto.”
“What Dobe Has a Girlfriend?!” Sasuke appeared out of nowhere followed by several others.
“Naruto has a girlfriend where?!” Ino squealed.
“Is she pretty?” Sakura asked. Suddenly there was an ascending mob all ready to tear the MC apart if he didn’t have the right answers.
“Where is she?” asked Tenten.
“Does the Youth shine brightly in her soul?” Lee asked excitedly.
“Shino you’re on!” The Aburame heir was grateful to Neji for saving him from the questioning mob. He especially didn’t like the death glare he got from the Uchiha. He walked on the stage as the sibling walked off.
“The Last Performance tonight will be Naruto Uzumaki and company singing two holiday songs for your enjoyment.” Kiba and Kankurou rolled a Baby Grand Piano on to the stage. Shino handed a microphone to Naruto before the blond guided Sukora to the Piano.
“Merry Christmas Everyone. This lovely lady is Sukora Morino and she’ll be helping my with my first song tonight entitled ‘Oh Holy Night’.” Naruto smiled as the music of Sukora’s playing washed over him. It calmed him and gave him the courage to go on with this forced performance.
O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Back stage all his friends from Konoha were gathered around the curtain staring at him in shock they had no idea Naruto could sing. Not only that, he sounded like an Angel!
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Till He appeared and the soul felt His worth
The thrill of hope,
The weary world rejoices
For yonder brings a new and glorious morn
Sasuke was Spell bound by the voice. He had near heard anything more beautiful than Naruto’s voice.
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel's voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night,
Oh night divine
Tsunade and Jiraiya smiled as stood in the back of the Auditorium with their Former Professor Hiruzen watching the boy once knew in the man that now sung from deep with in his soul.
Oh Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Oh
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt His worth
There wasn’t a dry eye in the place as Naruto poured his heart into the song. He wasn’t singing for the crowd he was singing for His Parents. He prayed as a tear escaped his eye, that his parents were watching over him and Kyuubi. He prayed they would hear his love for them as he felt their love everyday in Kyuubi’s every smile.
The thrill of hope,
The weary world rejoices
For yonder brings a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O, hear the angel's voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night,
O night divine
Then there was silence not a sound could be heard before the audience erupted with applause. Naruto helped Sukora to stand and they both took a bow. Kiba and Kankurou hurried on stage to roll it away again. Naruto motion to Shino to come on to the stage and the bewildered MC walked on stage to the two performers.
“Shino Please take Sukora back stage. Her cane is in her cloak hanging by the stage door.” Naruto whisper as he placed Sukora’s delicate hand on Shino’s arm. Then it dawn on the Aburame the girl was blind.
“Of course Naruto.” Shino whispered before gently guiding the pianist off stage.
Once they were gone from stage and the crowd had settled down The curtain behind the blond teen rose and the lights shined brightly on the band that appeared. The band was dress as red leather clad Santas. They wore tight blood red leather pants and Vests no shirts and knee high black leather boots. Naruto removed his cloak revealing that he was wearing the same red leather outfit as the others.
“Konoha Meet the Akatsuki.” Naruto Smirked before nodding to Pein who began playing a soft sad melody. Hiruzen sighed and shook his head. He knew exactly what song they were playing. If Naruto wanted to stir thing up this was the song to do it.
Naruto:
Oh Santa
I've been waiting on you
Pein:
That's funny kid
Because I've been coming for you
Naruto:
Oh Santa
I've been killing just for fun
Pein:
Well the party's over kid
Because I
Because I got a bullet in my gun
Naruto:
A bullet in your what?
Sasori and Zetsu:
Santa's got a bullet in his gun
You know it, Santa's got a bullet in his gun
Naruto:
Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy
I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through
If they were amaze by Naruto’s sing before they were blown away by his singing and the rockin’ performance he was putting on now.
Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy
Oh Santa
It's been a real hard year
Pein:
There just ain't no gettin' around this
Life is hard
But look at me
I turned out alright
Naruto:
Hey Santa
Why don't we talk about it?
Work it out
Pein:
Believe me
This ain't what I wanted
I love all you kids, you know that
Hell, I remember when you were just 10 years old
Playing out there in the desert
Just waiting for a sip of that sweet Mojave rain
Sasori and Zetsu:
In the sweet Mojave rain
The boy was on his own
Naruto:
Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy
I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through
The younger audience members were really getting into the song and some were even standing up and dancing.
Hey Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy
They had it coming
So why can’t you see?
I couldn't turn my cheek no longer
The sun is going down and Christmas is near
Just look the other way and I’ll disappear forever
Woo!
Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the street they tease me
I couldn't let them off that easy
Believe me
Santa
Sasori and Zetsu:
Santa
Sasuke was blown away. ‘When the Hell did the Dobe get a body as sexy as that?’ Apparently he wasn’t the only one to notice as the all the girls and a few of the guys were drooling over his dobe as they cheered for an encore. Most of the parents were in a stunned silence as others clapped at the talented youth as their children cheered and whistled at band. Sasuke watched as Naruto and the band took a bowed and he wished everyone a merry Christmas and a safe drive home before returning to the back stage.
“Dobe.”
“Teme.” Naruto’s smile was instantly replaced by a frown.
“We need to talk Dobe.”
“About what? I have nothing to say to you.”
“What about us Uzumaki-san?” Naruto turned to come face to face with Neji.
“Neji? What’s going on?”
“You have been holding out on us!” Ino shouted.
“What? I haven’t been holding out on you!”
“Oh yeah than why haven’t we heard about your girlfriend till now?” Sakura accused.
“My girlfriend? I don’t have a girlfriend!” Naruto protested.
“Oh Blue Eyes your breaking my heart.” Sukora managed to say with a straight face as she walked up to them with Sasori as her guide.
“Kora you’re not helping.”
“Shameful you should treat her in such a way.” Sasori added finding the situation highly amusing but showing no emotions.
“You Guys!” Naruto Pleaded with them as he didn’t want to be chased be an angry mob. He didn’t see Shino’s shoulders slump at the news that Sukora was his girlfriend or the burning rage and jealously and flashing from Sasuke’s eyes at the pianist. Suddenly the Uchiha was thrown out of his hatred by the girl’s musical laughter
“Okay, okay...hee, hee, I wish I could have seen your face.”
“Yes Sukora it was quite amusing.” The red head smirked.
“Come on you two. These guys are about to lynch me.”
“Gomen. I’m not Naruto’s girlfriend. I’ve known his since we were 7 and were like brother and sister.” Sasuke let out a breath of relief he didn’t know he was holding. His dobe was not dating this girl, but that just created more questions.
“How did you guys meet?” asked Kiba.
“Are you in the band too?” asked Temari.
“Where did Uzumaki go before school yesterday?” asked Gaara. All questions went unanswered as the Red head with way too many piercings called out to them
“Sasori the van is loaded up. Fox you better get Emerald home before the captain calls out the FBI.” Pein said as he handed the blond his forgotten cloak.
“You’re right!” Naruto beamed. He threw on the cloak with lightning speed then scooped Sukora up his arms bridal style. “Sorry Guys no time for questions see you after winter break!” The Konoha Student stared dumbfounded as the watched the Whiskered face teen run out of there with the girl in his arms as if the hell hounds were nipping at his heels. The Akatsuki followed at a more leisurely pace.

But Don’t worry the next chapter is already running through my head or is that the egg nogg?

“Okay I got the side car attached.”
“Are you sure this is safe?”
“It’s perfectly safe Kora don’t you trust me?” Naruto asked as he helped the pianist into the side car.
“About as far as I can through you.”
“I guest that’s a lot, cause the last time you tossed me during a spar I flew a couple of yards.” Naruto laughed as he settled Kyuubi on her lap and buckled them both in.
“I guess it’s a good thing I’m blind then I won’t see your bad driving.”
“Ha, ha you are so funny Kora I forgot to laugh.”
“Hurry Aniki I’ll be late!”
“Don’t worry Kyu-chan they won’t start without you. You’re the star!” Naruto smiled as he kick started the bike. Kyuubi squealed as the pulled out of the driveway and on the road Sukora shrieked and held the chibi tightly as Naruto sped to Shuriken.
By the time they arrived they saw a lot of familiar cars. Naruto parked then help Kyuubi and Sukora out of the side car. They dropped Kyubbi off at his class and made their way to the auditorium where they were met by the dragon lady. Naruto gritted his teeth when she walked up to them. Sukora could feel the blond tense and knew something was wrong. She slipped her hand into his to give him some emotion support letting him know he was not alone.
“I see you made it Mr. Uzumaki.” Utatane said tightly. “And who is this?” motioning to the petite girl in a Christmas red dress.
“This is Sukora Morino she is lives at Rasengan and is the pianist for Kyuubi’s class. Sukora this is Mrs. Utatane the Principle.”
“Ohayoogozaimasu.” Sukora bowed.
“Thank you for helping Ms. Morino it is most appreciated.”
“You’re welcome. I’m happy to do this for Kyuubi he is a great kid. Naruto can you lead me to the piano?”
“Sure thing Kora.”
“It was nice meeting you.” She bowed before being led to the piano.
“Thanks Emerald you really saved me there.”
“No worries Blue Eyes, this is Kyuubi’s day that old battle axe is not going to ruin it. Now go find a seat before all the good ones are taken.” The green eyed girl smiled as she gent pushed Naruto towards the audience.
Naruto started to scan the room for a seat when he heard someone call out to him. He turned and his jaw just dropped. Everyone from Rasengan was there except for Shizune and Kabuto because they were still at the hospital. Even all the guys from the café were there From Ichiraku the café cook and his daughter Ayame to Old man Sarutobi, his uptight nephew Ebisu and Konohamaru. His middle school let out the day before so he brought his two best friends Moegi and Udon to Kyuubi’s play.
“Naruto over here we saved you a seat.” Haku called out. He was a slender man about as tall as Naruto with long hair down to his mid back. He looked so delicate that people often mistaken him for a woman especially when standing next to his 6’10 tall lover like he was now. Naruto wanted to bust up laughing because the other parents were edging a way from the Rasengan Family mostly from Zabuza, Pein, Zetsu, and Ibiki.
“Wow you guys! I’m glad you could make it Kyuubi’s gonna be so happy.”
“We wouldn’t miss this for the world.” Kurenai said as she hugged the whiskered teen. “I even have Asuma up front with the camera so we can play it back for Shizune and Kabuto. I even took the lens cap off for him to ensure he doesn’t mess this up like he did at Kyuubi birthday last year.”
“Thanks Kurenai you’re the best.”
“Hey dickless sit down and shut up its starting.”
“Shut up Sai this is a school filled with young children you pervert.” Naruto smacked the dark haired artist up side the head before taking his seat. The pageant went on without a hitch. They started with the upper grades and worked their way down. Finally it was Kyuubi’s big moment. The class performed the story of Rudolph the red nose reindeer and Kyuubi was the star in the costume Naruto had made.

Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
The mini reindeers mobbed Kyuubi pretending to cheer before lining up in front of the sleigh.
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!
The children sang and waved as the pulled the small cardboard sleigh off stage.
The crowd cheered and the children ran out and took a bow and then Sukora took a small bow for her piano playing. The Rasengan family cheered louder then anyone else scaring most of the other parents. Kyuubi jumped up and down waving at the crowd they he shuffled off stage with the rest of the class. Audience listened to the Principle’s ending speech before moving to collect their children.
“Thanks again for coming. Hey if you’re all here than who’s at The Café?”
“I closed it for the morning no one wanted to miss, Kyuubi Uzumaki’s big debut.” Old man Sarutobi laughed. “We’ll see you both later tonight and the ramen is on the house.
“You’re awesome! I’m going to go grab Sukora and Kyuubi then I’ll meet you all Rasengan before I head on to school.”
“You better drive slowly I want my daughter home in one piece.”
“I will Captain.” Naruto saluted to Ibiki before running off. ‘One Christmas program down and one to go.’

After Dropping off Sukora and Kyuubi at Rasengan he unhooked the side car and sped off for Konoha in time to make it for economics with his ghoulish looking teacher Tenzo Yamato. Even after three years the guy’s eyes still freaked him out Naruto shuttered before entering the class.
“Hurry up Uzumaki-san were about to start the movie.”
“Hai Sensei.” Naruto slipped into his chair behind Kiba next to Kankurou. Once the lights were off and the movie started to play the teen dark haired teens began questioning him not known someone was eavesdropping on them.
“Where were you Naruto?”
“Yeah Gaara was in a foul mood this morning because you left him alone with Deidara!” Kankurou complained.
“Oh shit, I for forgot about that. Man I hope Raccoon eyes isn’t to mad at me.”
“You know you are the only one who can call him that and live right?”
“Gaara’s not so bad. I’ll find him and grovel, and then all will be well again.” Naruto smirked. Gaara was Kankurou and Temari’s baby brother. He was a year younger than Naruto but he didn’t want to be separated from His brother and sister so he skipped a grade. He was a stoic red head with a history of mental problems. He had even killed his uncle in self defense because Gaara’s mother died in child birth; his uncle blamed him for the death of his beloved sister and attacked him. He had Love tattooed in Kanji on his forehead, when his father started calling him a monster, determined to love only himself and push everyone else away. That was until Naruto transferred to Konoha, he plowed right throw the moody teens defenses till there was nothing left but a less moody teen and one of Naruto’s best friends.
“I don’t know Deidara pinched his cheeks.”
“OH no I’m dead.” Naruto moaned dropping his head on his desk. Deidara was a tall blond college student/ Teachers Assistant he had a thing for red heads. He thought Gaara was the cutest thing because he was the youngest of the group and would baby him unless Naruto ran interference.
“So where were you?” Kiba persisted.
“Just a family thing for my brother.” Truthful but evasive, Kiba and Kankurou were easily swayed but the raven who was listening to them was not.
The bell rang and before anyone could catch the blond he was gone and out the door. He had an art teacher to find. He made his way to the corridor he wasn’t surprised to find the sign up on the door saying that classes were canceled once again. Naruto just ignored the sing and entered the room in search of his masked sliver-haired teacher.
“Go away there is no class today.” A sorrowful voice called out.
“Classes were canceled yesterday Kakashi-sensei.” He found the art teacher sitting in the corner facing the wall. He was so depressed you could almost see a gray rain cloud over his head.
“Oh it’s you, Naruto… what do you want? Did you come to gloat? That you were right that Iruka will never go out with a pervert like me?” Naruto wince at the cutting remarks. ‘Iruka-sensei must have really let him have it.’
“I take that Iruka-sensei said ‘no’ to spending Christmas with you.” Kakashi slumped his shoulders further in depression. “How did you ask him?”
“I went up to Iruka and asked ‘Iruka darling come away with me and we can explore our nice and Naughty side.’ Then he shouted ‘no’ in my face then left.”
“BAKA-SENSEI!” Naruto punch Kakashi in the head. “That’s a line I’d expect from Ero-Sennin!”
“Where did you think I got it from?” the sliver haired man sobbed who now had a huge bump on his head.
“Sensei, how is Iruka-sensei supposed to believe me; when I try and tell him you’re an okay guy, if you follow Ero-Sennin’s advice or worst his books?” The Blond pinched the bridge of his nose. “Fine, Plan B it is then!”
“Plan B I don’t have a plan B.” Kakashi’s head popped up and turned to face his student before cowering back at the evil smirk that appeared on the teenager’s face.
“You don’t but I do.”
XxXxXxXx
“Aniki why can’t I go see you sing?” Kyuubi asked sadly as they walked up to Asuma and Kurenai’s apartment. After He straightened out Kakashi’s mood he had started to put things in motion to get Iruka-sensei to notice that Kakashi wasn’t a bad guy and deserved a chance. Friday passed pretty quickly and it was now Saturday time to be tortured by his own school performance.
“Because it’ll soon be your bedtime Kyu-chan. But you’ll have fun, Konohamaru will there to keep you company.”
“Really?” The chibi asked just as the door to the apartment opened.
“Hey there little man! You me and Udon are going to have a lot of guy fun no grownups allowed!” Konohamaru said excitedly
“Yay! Bye Aniki!” Kyuubi squealed happily running after the older boy.
“Thanks for watching him Asuma.”
“No problem sport they’ll knock out soon enough. You better get going it’s almost 7.”
“Shit! Thanks again!” Naruto looked at his watch and ran up the stairs to pick up Sukora.
He passed Pein and Zetsu moving equipment to the van.
“Fox this is the last of the gear we’re going to pick up Sasori at the café and then we’ll head over to the academy.”
“Great Pein, I’ll get Sukora and we’ll meet you there.” Naruto bumped his fist with the band leader’s fist before heading on up to the Morino Apartment.
“Come on in Haku is finishing up her makeup.” Ibiki growled as he let the blond teen in. “Sukora the punk is here.”
“Papa! Be nice!” Sukora said as she walked out to the living room in a long elegant green velvet dress that really brought the out the green in her eyes.
“You truly are the Emerald of Rasengan. If I didn’t think of you as my annoying sister I would have asked you for a date.” Naruto said as he kissed her soft delicate hand.
“You wouldn’t date me if you didn’t think of me as a sister I’m lacking a few things.”
“True but you look gorgeous tonight thank you for doing this and performing at my unworthy snotty school.”
“You’re right and you owe me big Uzumaki.” Sukora tried to glare in the direction of Naruto’s voice as he slipped her band cloak over her bare shoulders.
“You better drive extra slow Uzumaki most of the roads are iced over.”
“I will Captain, I’ll treat her like a princess.”
“You better, if you don’t I still have friends in the FBI.”
“Papa!”
“Let get going Kora. I put your cane in you cloak pocket.”
“Then I’m ready to go.”

Shino was checking the list he had for everything that needed to be done in order for the production to run smoothly. As MC of this Years Christmas Production it was his to account for everyone arriving on time and being in place on cue; but things were not going smoothly and not everyone was here or ready for there cue.
‘The only Reason I took this stupid job was so I wouldn’t have to perform.’ He thought before going out to introduce Hinata, Ino, Tenten and Sakura performing the Nutcracker Suite ballet and they somehow roped Neji into playing the Nutcracker. The huge Auditorium was packed with parents and siblings from the Wealthiest families in Fire country. The Uchihas backed this year’s performance and all the costumes were made by the finest designers of the fashion world everything was near perfect except for the finale act.
Shino returned to the back stage once again looking to see if Naruto had arrived yet. He had no idea what to expect from the whiskered scarred teen. His name was added to the program at the last minute and there were no costume or props order. If he had not school himself against such childish actions he would be panicking and throwing a tantrum. He was about to make another round in search of the Uzumaki when he saw a sight that made him stop in his tracks and suddenly his tuxedo felt very warm. There standing alone quietly in the middle of the fray of the backstage was a girl in a long green Dress with her hair partially up with soft black and red curls framing her face and her eyes shined like emeralds in the light. Shino suddenly found himself walking towards her as if his feet had a mind of their own.
“Excuse me Miss are you lost?”
“No I’m waiting for someone.”
“If you are family of a performer I must ask you to wait in the Audience.”
“Shino relax she’s performing with me.” Shino turned to see Naruto walking up to them wearing a huge black cloak with red clouds. “Sorry I took so long I was helping the others unload the van.”
“No problem where are they?”
“They’re coming just finishing setting up. Hey Shino we need a piano got one lying around.”
“We saw on in the corner.” Said a tall green haired teen as he approached the trio.
“Awesome Zetsu!” Shino turned to see three guys also dressed in Black cloaks with red clouds.
“Shino! You’re up!” Kiba called on the wireless radio that was in his ear.
“I’m on my way Kiba. Uzumaki you’re on in ten minutes.” The shade wearing announced as his duty pulled him away from the mysterious girl that was with Naruto.
“I’m going to take Sukora over to the piano let her use to it before they roll it on stage.”
“Everything is set up we’ll see you in ten.” Pein said as he watched the two walk off.
“Why are we here Pein?” Sasori asked as he looked to his older brother.
“Because, ‘The Fox’ is making a statement.”
“And what is that brother?”
“Don’t Screw with Naruto Uzumaki or you might just get burned.”
XxXxXxXxXx
“Who is the girl Shino?” Kiba asked once the MC returned from announcing the Sabaku Siblings’ rendition of ‘Twas the Night before Christmas’.
“I don’t know but she is with Naruto.”
“What Dobe Has a Girlfriend?!” Sasuke appeared out of nowhere followed by several others.
“Naruto has a girlfriend where?!” Ino squealed.
“Is she pretty?” Sakura asked. Suddenly there was an ascending mob all ready to tear the MC apart if he didn’t have the right answers.
“Where is she?” asked Tenten.
“Does the Youth shine brightly in her soul?” Lee asked excitedly.
“Shino you’re on!” The Aburame heir was grateful to Neji for saving him from the questioning mob. He especially didn’t like the death glare he got from the Uchiha. He walked on the stage as the sibling walked off.
“The Last Performance tonight will be Naruto Uzumaki and company singing two holiday songs for your enjoyment.” Kiba and Kankurou rolled a Baby Grand Piano on to the stage. Shino handed a microphone to Naruto before the blond guided Sukora to the Piano.
“Merry Christmas Everyone. This lovely lady is Sukora Morino and she’ll be helping my with my first song tonight entitled ‘Oh Holy Night’.” Naruto smiled as the music of Sukora’s playing washed over him. It calmed him and gave him the courage to go on with this forced performance.
O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Back stage all his friends from Konoha were gathered around the curtain staring at him in shock they had no idea Naruto could sing. Not only that, he sounded like an Angel!
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Till He appeared and the soul felt His worth
The thrill of hope,
The weary world rejoices
For yonder brings a new and glorious morn
Sasuke was Spell bound by the voice. He had near heard anything more beautiful than Naruto’s voice.
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel's voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night,
Oh night divine
Tsunade and Jiraiya smiled as stood in the back of the Auditorium with their Former Professor Hiruzen watching the boy once knew in the man that now sung from deep with in his soul.
Oh Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Oh
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt His worth
There wasn’t a dry eye in the place as Naruto poured his heart into the song. He wasn’t singing for the crowd he was singing for His Parents. He prayed as a tear escaped his eye, that his parents were watching over him and Kyuubi. He prayed they would hear his love for them as he felt their love everyday in Kyuubi’s every smile.
The thrill of hope,
The weary world rejoices
For yonder brings a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O, hear the angel's voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night,
O night divine
Then there was silence not a sound could be heard before the audience erupted with applause. Naruto helped Sukora to stand and they both took a bow. Kiba and Kankurou hurried on stage to roll it away again. Naruto motion to Shino to come on to the stage and the bewildered MC walked on stage to the two performers.
“Shino Please take Sukora back stage. Her cane is in her cloak hanging by the stage door.” Naruto whisper as he placed Sukora’s delicate hand on Shino’s arm. Then it dawn on the Aburame the girl was blind.
“Of course Naruto.” Shino whispered before gently guiding the pianist off stage.
Once they were gone from stage and the crowd had settled down The curtain behind the blond teen rose and the lights shined brightly on the band that appeared. The band was dress as red leather clad Santas. They wore tight blood red leather pants and Vests no shirts and knee high black leather boots. Naruto removed his cloak revealing that he was wearing the same red leather outfit as the others.
“Konoha Meet the Akatsuki.” Naruto Smirked before nodding to Pein who began playing a soft sad melody. Hiruzen sighed and shook his head. He knew exactly what song they were playing. If Naruto wanted to stir thing up this was the song to do it.
Naruto:
Oh Santa
I've been waiting on you
Pein:
That's funny kid
Because I've been coming for you
Naruto:
Oh Santa
I've been killing just for fun
Pein:
Well the party's over kid
Because I
Because I got a bullet in my gun
Naruto:
A bullet in your what?
Sasori and Zetsu:
Santa's got a bullet in his gun
You know it, Santa's got a bullet in his gun
Naruto:
Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy
I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through
If they were amaze by Naruto’s sing before they were blown away by his singing and the rockin’ performance he was putting on now.
Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy
Oh Santa
It's been a real hard year
Pein:
There just ain't no gettin' around this
Life is hard
But look at me
I turned out alright
Naruto:
Hey Santa
Why don't we talk about it?
Work it out
Pein:
Believe me
This ain't what I wanted
I love all you kids, you know that
Hell, I remember when you were just 10 years old
Playing out there in the desert
Just waiting for a sip of that sweet Mojave rain
Sasori and Zetsu:
In the sweet Mojave rain
The boy was on his own
Naruto:
Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy
I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through
The younger audience members were really getting into the song and some were even standing up and dancing.
Hey Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy
They had it coming
So why can’t you see?
I couldn't turn my cheek no longer
The sun is going down and Christmas is near
Just look the other way and I’ll disappear forever
Woo!
Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the street they tease me
I couldn't let them off that easy
Believe me
Santa
Sasori and Zetsu:
Santa
Sasuke was blown away. ‘When the Hell did the Dobe get a body as sexy as that?’ Apparently he wasn’t the only one to notice as the all the girls and a few of the guys were drooling over his dobe as they cheered for an encore. Most of the parents were in a stunned silence as others clapped at the talented youth as their children cheered and whistled at band. Sasuke watched as Naruto and the band took a bowed and he wished everyone a merry Christmas and a safe drive home before returning to the back stage.
“Dobe.”
“Teme.” Naruto’s smile was instantly replaced by a frown.
“We need to talk Dobe.”
“About what? I have nothing to say to you.”
“What about us Uzumaki-san?” Naruto turned to come face to face with Neji.
“Neji? What’s going on?”
“You have been holding out on us!” Ino shouted.
“What? I haven’t been holding out on you!”
“Oh yeah than why haven’t we heard about your girlfriend till now?” Sakura accused.
“My girlfriend? I don’t have a girlfriend!” Naruto protested.
“Oh Blue Eyes your breaking my heart.” Sukora managed to say with a straight face as she walked up to them with Sasori as her guide.
“Kora you’re not helping.”
“Shameful you should treat her in such a way.” Sasori added finding the situation highly amusing but showing no emotions.
“You Guys!” Naruto Pleaded with them as he didn’t want to be chased be an angry mob. He didn’t see Shino’s shoulders slump at the news that Sukora was his girlfriend or the burning rage and jealously and flashing from Sasuke’s eyes at the pianist. Suddenly the Uchiha was thrown out of his hatred by the girl’s musical laughter
“Okay, okay...hee, hee, I wish I could have seen your face.”
“Yes Sukora it was quite amusing.” The red head smirked.
“Come on you two. These guys are about to lynch me.”
“Gomen. I’m not Naruto’s girlfriend. I’ve known his since we were 7 and were like brother and sister.” Sasuke let out a breath of relief he didn’t know he was holding. His dobe was not dating this girl, but that just created more questions.
“How did you guys meet?” asked Kiba.
“Are you in the band too?” asked Temari.
“Where did Uzumaki go before school yesterday?” asked Gaara. All questions went unanswered as the Red head with way too many piercings called out to them
“Sasori the van is loaded up. Fox you better get Emerald home before the captain calls out the FBI.” Pein said as he handed the blond his forgotten cloak.
“You’re right!” Naruto beamed. He threw on the cloak with lightning speed then scooped Sukora up his arms bridal style. “Sorry Guys no time for questions see you after winter break!” The Konoha Student stared dumbfounded as the watched the Whiskered face teen run out of there with the girl in his arms as if the hell hounds were nipping at his heels. The Akatsuki followed at a more leisurely pace.
