Disclaimer: I do not have Naruto, and all of Shino's thingamajigs in my arsenal of 'own!'

This is the prologue to 'World Wide Web' (kind of), which I'll be writing separately.

"Shino! So good to see you again! You were just a tiny kid last time I visited!" Shino's uncle, known as uh, uh, uh, uh……………. Bob said as he pulled his favorite, and only nephew into a tight hug, turning Shino purple.

"…………….Um, hi………………" Shino greeted him in a emotionless voice, even though he was holding his breath because he couldn't really breath.

"Just like your father when he was young, never saying anything. Oh well. Here, these are for you!" Uncle Bob said as he dumped three huge bags that all weighed who knows how many pounds on him. Shino barely prevented himself from falling down.

"The one on the bottom is a play station 2 (don't own) with ten games a laptop computer with over 100 games installed in it and blue and purple flash memories, (don't own) and the second one has a Mp3 with two and a half hour of music of all type, the latest blue radio in stock, a cell phone, ten mangas, twelve novels, and twelve books on bugs. And the final one has (I do not own any of these following candies) some Snickers, Milky Way, some bubblegum, mints, a lot of other chocolate, and chocolate and vanilla ice cream along with mint chip, strawberry, cookie dough, and cookie 'n cream and a lot more." (What a nice uncle!) He finished with Shino looking at him stunned. Not that he wasn't happy, he just… wasn't happy… But he wasn't not happy either!

"….Er, thank you? But what's ice cream?" Shino asked.

Uncle Bob faked a gasp. "You don't know what ice cream is! What is that father of yours teaching you! Why, ice cream is the single greatest thing in the whole world! Here, try some!" He finished as he shoveled a HUGE scoop of ice cream into a styrofoam cup and stuck a spoon in it, and pocketed eleven others and some napkins in Shino's coat. "Go on! Try it! Wait! Go OUTSIDE and share it with you friends! Go on!" And with that, he pushed him out of the door. "I'll take the stuff to your room!"

"... But I don't have any good(slam!) friends…" Shino sighed. There was no stopping Uncle Bob, so he just headed out, nibbling n his 'ice cream', which he found rather good. Uncle Bob dumped some of every flavor in, but he really like the mint chip. (Oh, just the thought of Shino with a huge styrofoam cup full of ice cream… SO CUTE! Lol.)

Not long after he had begun his little stroll with a towering cup of ice cream, did he come across Hinata, merrily skipping rope on the sidewalk, er, grass. (Again, SO CUTE! Lol.)

"Hi Shino! What's that?" She questioned him, pointing to his ice cream as she stopped skipping rope.

"……My Uncle Bob got me this………. It's ice cream………… Want some?" He asked her politely as he handed her a spoon.

Hinata obliged as she scooped a small amount of vanilla and licked it. "Hmmm…. This is very good, Shino! Thanks!" She returned as she went back skipping rope, only she was skipping as turbo speed now, making Shino raised his eyebrows.

"…Um… Okay… See you around, Hinata!" He waved goodbye as he continued his way.

"Bye Shino!" Hinata called as she too waved goodbye.

So Shino wandered on, still a huge portion of ice cream in his arsenal. Not long after, whom did he meet but Rock Lee, punching a rock!

"Hey! Shino! Nice to see you again!" He yelled as he waved him over.

"………………Hi…………….." Shino replied as he took a nibble from his cookie 'n cream ice cream.

"Whoa! What's that!" Lee questioned as Shino whipped out another spoon from his deep pocket. (I assume at least.)

"……….It's ice cream that my uncle brought for me………" He said blankly. "…Want to try some?" He asked as he handed Lee the spoon.

Lee naturally took some of this 'ice cream'. Chocolate to be precise, and shoved it into his mouth.

"Whoa! This stuff is good! But I've gotta go train some more, my team's running laps. I just took a while to let them catch up. Bye Shino! Thanks!" He called as he hyper-rocketed at least three times faster than the Lee-o-meter limit, causing a miniature sandstorm to form.

Shino stood there, looking at Lee's diminishing form fading again and again. Lee had already past him three times in the last thirty seconds. Neji appeared soon after, panting.

"W-what are you doing here? And what's that thing?" He asked as he collapsed. His trying of beating Lee had once again failed. Not that he expected to win, but still, he had tried, or Gai Sensei threatened to…to… It's just too horrid…

"It's ice cream…My Uncle Bob brought it…I think you need some…" Shino said flatly as he scooped out some of his strawberry ice cream from a new spoon and stuck it into Neji's mouth.

Neji just laid there, not moving very much, just twitching all over. He didn't even bother removing the spoon. Just lying there.

And who should pop up next but TenTen! Bonding down the lane at a regular speed, heaving a bit.

"Hey Shino! Hi…Neji?" She looked down at her teammate, spoon still stuck inside his mouth. "Uh… Wow! What's that Shino!" She asked as Shino took out another spoon, scooped more ice cream, and just stuck it into TenTen's mouth without even her asking. He had enough talking for a while.

"Mmmmm…It taste great!" She said after she finished. She removed Neji's spoon. He had apparently blackout from exaution, until Shino stuck ice cream in him. Good thing.

"Don't tell me I blacked out." He told TenTen as he got up.

"Okay… Then you didn't, didn't black out!" TenTen told him cheerily. Neji just groaned and they both continued their way, both a lot faster than usual.

Now Shino's cup was only half full, though he still had a half-pound of ice cream left. So he continued his less than merry way, and came across Shikamaru and Chouji playing Go together. So, in search of getting rid of all this ice cream, he walked over, knowing that Chouji would definitely be more than happy to diminish some of this.

"Hey, is that… No, but it is! Shino, where did you get that ice cream!" Chouji asked amazed as Shino handed him two spoons. One for him, and one for Shikamaru.

"Wow! This stuff is great! Here, try some, Shikamaru!" Chouji exclaimed as he stuffed some ice cream into Shikamaru's mouth. He was resting peacefully before, having waited thirty minutes for Chouji to move, (because Chouji thought it was Shikamaru's turn) so imagine how wide his eyes were when Chouji stuck ice cream in him.

"Mmmmmmm-mmm! Mmm!" Shikamaru whimpered. Once he removed the spoon, he was back to simple English, uh, Japanese, kind of. "Chouji! You gave me brain freeze!" Shikamaru told him.

"Sorry! But wasn't it good? Shikamaru?" Fallen asleep again.

And once again, our happy friend Shino ventured on still, looking for anyone who might take interest in his Uncle Bob's gift. And Ino was just around the corner.

"Hi, uh, what's your name again? Um… Wait! It's, no, no… Uh… Ack! Hi Bug Person! And, who's your friend?" She asked, pointing to his buddy ice cream.

"… Ice cream… It's edible… Have some…" He said as he took out yet another spoon and handed it to Ino. "…And it's Shino…"

"Thanks Shino! It's awesome!" She thanked him and hopped onto a tree to go Sasuke stalking again. Not only was she dashing like mad, she had brought a very early fall, and she half-buried Shino in leaves.

And so our favorite little Genin (not really to some) continued his way, until he bumped into Kiba and his trusty companion, Akamaru, playing fetch.

"No! Fetch the stick not the brick!" Kiba insisted. How Akamaru was able to pick up a brick was beyond standard knowledge. Then he noticed Shino! "Hey Shino! What's that?" He asked. You know the routine now: spoon, eat and: "It's great! Thanks Shino! Akamaru likes it too!" He said as he once again threw the stick, only it went up, and up, and up, and finally landed like a half-mile in front of him, and Akamaru was there in two seconds.

"…Your, welcome?" Shino said a bit mystified. It seemed that every time that someone ate this 'ice cream' of Uncle Bob's, they always go hyper-hyper…. Hmm…

And so, he continued on, until he found Sakura drawing what seems like a really demented Sasuke. In fact, it looked more like an inkblot than Sasuke.

"Hi Shino! What do you think of this picture? And what's that?" She questioned as she showed him her painting, uh, inkblot.

"...Uh… It looks, nice? And this is ice cream, want some?" He asked her as she accepted.

"Thanks Shino!" She thanked as she went on painting, uh, frenzied painted is really the term. Now the former Sasuke inkblot now looked liked a Sasuke ink spill. "See ya!"

Wondering with all his might how one tiny scoop of this 'ice cream' could make everyone go completely overcharged, Shino decided to continue his path, thinking, and thinking, and thinking. Then he met Sasuke and Naruto arguing over who's the strongest.

"Hey! Shino! Tell us who's the strongest, me, or Naruto!" Sasuke demanded Shino, not even bothering to ask about the 'ice cream'.

Shino, who was still thinking the 'hyper' theory over, hardly noticed, instead, he just took out the last remaining two spoons he had, scooped out some ice cream on each, and stuck them into their mouth and continued on.

"Cold! Cold! Cold!" Naruto stammered as he finished. And by then, Shino was already halfway down the street.

And so finally, Shino returned home, carrying an empty cup. The only problem is, everyone else was already there first.

"…Is there something you require?" He asked politely. Though he didn't show it, he was genuinely surprised.

"SHINO! HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD US YOU HAD ALL THIS COOL STUFF!" They exclaimed to him, all pointing at the stuff Uncle Bob had brought him from his visits. Yeah, I said visits. Guess they all wanted more of his 'ice cream'.

"…You never asked…You're all free to play with…" He trailed off as everyone dove into his swimming pool, except it was filled with all toys and stuff he never bothered with. He preferred books. "…Them…"

"Hey! Hands off this, thingamajig that looks cool!" Naruto demanded Sasuke as they fought over the play station 2.

"WOW! Shino! What's this!" Lee exclaimed happily as he hauled one of those running exercise things, er, don't know what's it called. Um, tread mill? Anyways, he hauled it up right.

"A SUPER MAGNETIC WATERGUN DART BORAD2000! I always wanted one!" TenTen exclaimed as she hugged it tight along with the water gun.

"LOOK AKAMARU! FACE PAINT!" Kiba yelled. Don't ask.

"Oh, Snickers, Milky Ways, Kit Kats! Shino! You're so lucky!" Chouji exclaimed as Shino gave him permission to eat some.

"Oh my! A Skip It (no clue how to spell.)!" Hinata read off the tag and started skipping it.

"Hmmm… a miniature remote controlled airplane…" Neji mused as he began take off with it. (As in making it fly, not steeling it.)

"A four-poster bed? Must be better than a futon…" Shikamaru declared as he sunk in. Oh, the fluffiness of it all…

"A DNA tracker!" Ino gasped. Now she'll be able to track Sasuke at all times. But Sakura was wrestling it out of her hands.

"Hey! I wanted that too!" Sakura declared as they fought over it like Naruto and Sasuke, though what's the point since it's a play station 2?

Shino just sighed. As he went inside and started up the radio. Not a good idea.

"WOW! A BOX THAT TALKS!"

Flame all you like, though I just find those things particularly funny. Lol. And so I conclude the most stupid and pointless story I ever wrote.
