[New Scene]-

Hidden Affections of the Amazing Race

Phase 1: Promotional What? I'm teamed up with who?

By: PorkyDragon

[Konoha]-

As the morning sunshine beam shines throughout the village of Konoha, all of our many favourite genins awake to the chirps of birds, and the ever so annoying sounds of the monophony alarm clocks.

They all did the usuals. Get up. Get dressed. Do some bathroom crap. Eat then head to the place that their team usually meets. But today, it wasn't like that, it was odd. It wasn't ordinary.

Every genin made their way to the place, and all saw the same slab of paper. A note was encrypted on the paper, it stated:

"Good morning students, meet at the Hokage tower for further details."

Every genin all sighed at the fact they probably had another one of those lectures of Tsunade. Or do some more of those "raising team morale, and teamwork crap" that they get assigned by their infamous sensei's.

Sasuke being first of all the genin's that woke up, headed to the desired meeting location but he wasn't surprised to see two of Konoha's Sasuke-Fanclub members chasing after him.
'Ehn...just Sakura and Ino...' Sasuke thought. He re-winded his thought 'Sakura and Ino...' in an instant, Sasuke got bloodshot in his eyes and started jetting away, as he could hear his name being called in a distance.

"SASUKE-KUN!!!" Ino and Sakura chirped.

"Ohayo Saku-" Naruto tried to say before getting trampled by the two.

"Move it Ino, Sasukes MINE!!!" Sakura yelled out.

"He'd never like someone with a big-forehead, so naturally he would choose me" Ino replied coolly.

'Err...how dare she say that about me' Evil-Sakura thought.

Naruto just layed there in a trance, Sakura didn't even say sorry or something, and just plowed through him. He hoped someone would help him up, but he knew his hopes were too big. Everyone hated him. Hated his guts. Hated his personality. Hated his existence. He continued to stare down at the ground as footsteps were coming from behind Naruto.

"Naruto-kun! Daijoubu desu ka?" the person said softly, as she raised a helping hand out, to help Naruto up. Still in his trance, he heard a voice echo through his mind... 'Daijoubu desu ka....desu ka...desu ka....desu ka' at that point he shook his head and met a familiar face.

"Hai...Daijoubu desu" Naruto replied as he took her helping hand and got up.

"Arigatou, Hinata-chan" Naruto said. As got up, many other genins came walking by. Chouji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Shino and Lee walked in a group heading to the Hokage tower. Neji walked alone, but was stalked by Tenten. Naruto looked to his right and was horrified when he saw the sight of Temari and Gaara, but no Kankuro and they both didn't have their fan or gourd in sight. Naruto sighed, and thought to himself as he continued to walk with Hinata to the Hokage tower.

'What could they be up to...those sand-bastards...' Naruto said in his mind. Soon after all of the genins were there at the place, with the exception of the one chunnin- Shikamaru who still worked with the groups.

[Hokage Tower]-

Everyone waiting patiently outside as the doors suddenly creaked open, and saw all of their sensei's standing there (with the exception of Kakashi) along with their former sensei, Iruka and the newly appointed Hokage sitting in the in..." Tsunade welcomed them all.

"Is our sensei late again...?" Sakura said without any expression.

"Yo!" Kakashi replied and gave a hand wave to them all. but was responded by Sakura and Naruto going, "Eh...he's late again...again" while making a somewhat of a who cares any more face =='

Many of them just sat there and waiting for everyone to be seated to get a lecture or something... but no one had expected this.

"Well, Ohayo students! Nice to see all of you on such short notice" Tsunade said cheerfully, "What is this old hag saying?" Kiba whispered to Naruto who was just staring at his necklace that Tsunade gave him and shrugged at Kiba's question.

"This is hard for me to say this but...since after the Destruction of Konoha, many of the people who once lived here or came to visit have stopped. Thus all of the sensei's have decided that...all of you will be enduring a promotional race thing to encourage travelers to come to Konoha. During this race many of you will be traveling in, out and through Konoha to meet your destination points. Each Part of the race has Route markers. Each Route Marker will have different types of envelopes having tasks that need to be completed to move on to your next destination. After retrieving one envelope, you are destined to go to the required location to retrieve your next envelope. When you get to the second envelope you will be choosing 1 from the 2 tasks to complete, after finishing the task, you will get another envelope from there to go to another location. Proceed to the next location to get your next envelope, do the task in the envelope and then go to the pit stop where you shall be meted by your host; me. I will tell your rank and if you are moving on or eliminated. At that point of the race you will meet up with your friends and stay there for the night. At the end of this race, the final prize is 1 million dollars." Tsunade spoke in a clam manner with her eyes closed as she took a breath and continued to speak.

"I shall talk about the what's in the envelopes now. Inside each envelope at the route markers are sometimes different things. There is a fast forward which will enable both team members to complete one of the two task then head over to the pit stop without doing anything else. Detour, both team members must choose one task to do from the two choices. Each choice has its own pros and cons. Finally there is a roadblock which one person will need to finish one task on his or her own without any help from his or her teammate. You all will be given $1000 to pay for the traveling and food expenses" Tsunade hesitated and opened her eyes to see all of the many faces with an eager look to start the race, 'It kind of looks like everyone's an owl... OO' Tsunade thought in her head.
"Is there any further questions from this point?" Tsunade questioned them all.

"What are the teams going to be?" Ino raised her hand and asked.

"Well that has not been decided yet. We will probably be doing a 'Pick a name out of the hat' thing later today" Tsunade replied but was still confused about how this race thingy was going to work.

"Why are those sand-genins here as well?" Naruto sat up and spoke.

"Uhh...they will be participating as well. We needed more people anyways."

"Will we be able to use our Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, or Taijutsu?" Neji asked.

"Definitely not. Usage of Ninjutsu Genjutsu or Taijutsu is prohibited! None of that jumping crap where you put chakra to your feet and jump very far that's prohibited too," Tsunade exclaimed. "Well if theres nothing more. I want all of you to go home and I shall send a runner to each of you houses to tell you the name of your teammate and what you will need to do" Tsunade quoted, and with that she made her way out of the building followed by Shizune holding ton-ton in her arms.

Everyone was happy that there was no missions for a while and how much fun they'll have if they get the 1 million dollars. All of them could picture the possibilities. They all got up and started to head home.

[Outside Hokage Tower]-

'...Hrm.' Shikamaru thought as he just stared at the clouds.

'Oooooo...think of all of the possibilities with the money...yes yes...tee hee...ramen...ramen...more ramen...ooo miso ramen...can't forget that!' Naruto talked to himself in his head.

Everyone had their own way of spending that money, the sensei's even tried to think of a way to take that money and make their students share it with them. Each student waved goodbye to everyone and started to go back home and await their message from Hokage Tsunade, about who their partner is.

The anticipation of many of them grew, as the night got darker. Each genin sat somewhere and waited as the night's hour flew by.

[Hokage Tower-Meeting]-

"Okay, so we need to make the teams fair and stuff, any one have any suggestions on the teams?" Tsunade questioned.

"Pretty hard to make teams of two, since every guy almost wants to be with Sakura, and all of the girls want to be with Sasuke" Kurenai stated, but was abruptly interrupted by Gai saying, "My LEE goes with Sakura" as he cheered on.

Everyone just gave a straight face to his comment -- but they weren't really going anywhere with this.

"I see what you mean..." Baki blurted out.

They had no other choice so Tsunade decided to do a pick a name out of the hat method. "Everyone write down your team members teams on different pieces of paper and give them to me...and hurry" Tsunade ordered. She took everyone's paper and threw them into a random hat she found. She tossed it. Turned it. Flipped it then started to call the names out.

"Shizune, write this down." Tsunade spoke.
"Hai, Tsunade-sama" Shizune replied not saying anything else. She took a pencil and paper and started writing every name out that Tsunade called out.

"Hyuuga Hinata...Uzumaki Naruto" Tsunade said as she started to pick two other names out of the hat. "Aburame Shino...Inuzuka Kiba" Tsunade paused, hesitated and continued. "Akimichi Chouji...Rock Lee" She said as Gai went into a trance... 'Oh no... my lee is with a fat person. He cant possibly win now!' Kakashi, Kurenai and Baki started laughing their butts off when they heard that pairing. After Gai was out of the trance, him and Asuma stared at them and gave both of them an evil eye like they were trying to focus on one spot and burn a whole into their head or something.

"Haruno Sakura...Uchiha Sasuke" Tsunade said as Gai burst into tears. "Nara Shikamaru...Yamanaka Ino" She spoke and took a breath "Hyuuga Neji...Tenten(don't know her last name! ), and finally our last team is "Gaara...Temari"

"Theres also one person remaining....Kankuro...what do we do about him?" Tsunade asked everyone.

"He's not here anyways...he didn't want to come." Baki said as he left the room and with that Hokage Tsunade sent a runner to tell each participant their team member.

[Route to each house]-

The runner read the list:
1-Hyuuga Hinata...Uzumaki Naruto

2-Aburame Shino...Inuzuka Kiba

3-Akimichi Chouji...Rock Lee

4-Haruno Sakura...Uchiha Sasuke

5-Nara Shikamaru...Yamanaka Ino

6-Hyuuga Neji...Tenten

7-Gaara...Temari

He thought to himself 'this is going to be interesting..' His first stop was the Haruno house. He knocked on the door, Sakura opened.

"Hi...Haruno Sakura?" The messenger asked."

"...Yes?" Sakura replied.

"You're with Uchiha Sasuke...Bye"

The messenger said and with a poof he was gone. Sakura just stood there, and a name just rang into her mind a few times, 'Sasuke...Sasuke...Sasuke' Sakura rejoiced as she was chosen to be on a team with her beloved Sasuke-kun, and she thought all of the possibilities that she could do with him...she could finally get close to him without stupid Ino-pig getting in her way... yes... 'Hrm...yes...that's good...Sasuke and Me... WAHAHAHAH' Evil Sakura thought. 'I should call Ino-Pig and tell her the good news' Sakura said to herself, as she was walking to the phone already.

"Hello Mrs. Yamanaka, is Ino there?" Sakura said somewhat politely.

"Oh Sakura, uhm...yes she is hold on," She said as Sakura waited patiently as she could hear yelling from a distance.

"Hello?" Was Inos blank response,

"HAHA INO-PIG SASUKE-KUN IS ON MY TEAM" Sakura chirped.

"Tch. Whatever, I have Shikamaru and we're gonna win...you just watch big foreheaded-Sakura" Ino replied and with that she hung up on Sakura.
'That INO-PIG!!! Hanging up on me. Ill Show her. Ill win that competetion' Evil Sakura said.

[Konoha]-

Later that night, after the messenger told each participant the name of their teammates, some sighed and some just wanted to get it over with, every genin that was to go to the race had to meet at the Hokage tower anytime after 5 am to get their envelopes telling them what to do. Some sighed again and began packing. They were limited to only 1 backpack full of clothes and things. Some were fine with that, but some people like Naruto couldn't fit many packs of instant ramen into his bag, and he was bawling cause of that.

No one could hardly sleep that night cause of the upcoming race that made them all so hyped up about. The night grew long and cold as the seconds and minutes passed by so slow as everyone just stared at the walls of their room contemplating tomorrow's events.

[Hokage Tower]-
'...So it begins tomorrow. The race. Let the games begin. Lights. Camera. Action' Tsunade thought to herself as she stared out the window wishing each of them good luck.

Hey everyone... bleh. That's the end of Episode 1 (Chapter 1), Yes boring. I know.

The Adventures of Me and My thoughts:

But hopefully it'll get more funnier and more romantic-er? Eh.

'How's it gonna get funnier...your not funny' inner porky said.
"Shut up you.." The real porky said.

"Then ill make it emotional!" The real me says

'You suck at making emotional stuff too.' Inner porky says
"You know what just die" The real me says, and starts clobbing myself with my own fist.

Some help was assisted by lightdreamer(I think...?Actually..no. she just nagged at me and wanted to put some more SasuSaku stuf in it) and...that's about it for now.

Phase 2 Typing, Commencing. Wait...Im done. I think its up too...
