So…you all probably hate me for the whole, you know, not updating for an eternity…yeeeeeeeaaahh…

Well, anyway, I'm gonna try to get a new chapter pumped out.

FINAL ROUND: LET'S ROCK!...'cept not…

Disclaimerrrrrrrrrrr: I don't own shit, so don't think I do. They belong to their respective owners and stuff. Cool beans.

Chapter Ten (Finally): Desperately Trying to Advance the Plot…Wait, there was a plot?!

"Tomorrow, you three will be taking another test-"

"But Sensei, we finished the tests to become a shinobi already?" Kakashi cringed as the pink haired girl voiced her concerns. It had hardly been ten minutes and this group had proved to be the most annoying bunch of wannabe ninjas he was forced to endure. Sitting on the roof of the school, he had begun explaining to them the mechanics of Konoha's teams. The little Uchiha kid hadn't said a word this entire time, head balanced on his hands, brooding while this little pink…thing clung to him like some sort of tick. Yeah, that was it, a tick. And then there was this blonde kid…poor Kakashi didn't even know what the hell to make of this freak, considering blondie was getting chased by a half-naked woman when he got to the classroom. Speaking of which, the woman was currently groping the little lucky bastard, and that reminded Kakashi he needed to get home and finish rereading chapter twenty seven…

"Pinky, do you honestly believe we would let kids like you be shinobi for passing simple tests like that?" The girl could only solemnly shake her head. "Good. Now, the test I'm giving you tomorrow has a 66 percent failure rate." Kakashi's visible eye crinkled into a happy curve as the little sorry sack of an Uchiha and the pink monkey girl reacted accordingly: eyes buggin' out accompanied by frantic and desperate looks. Kakashi could already hear Sakura's exclamation, when he noticed the strange look on the blondie's face. That damnably weird kid looked deep in thought.

"That would be…"

"About a one in three chance of succeeding, honey." The sultry succubus, Nevan, told her charge as she played with his hair.

"Oh, thank y- WILL YOU STOP WITH THE HAIR!?!" Sakura had chosen this exact point in time to speak her mind and, combined with Naruto's fairly high decibel yell, nearly shorted out Kakashi's smut filled mind. Nevan laughed as Naruto jumped up and began running around as Sakura continued trying to get Kakashi to listen to her. Sasuke continued to brood.

"You know what!?" The cyclop's yell brought Naruto to a screeching halt, stopped Sakura's rant and made three birds behind him explode from the liquefied frustration emanating from the veteran. "Read these, they'll tell you what to do and where to be! Tomorrow, at noon! I'm gonna enjoy this chance to 'accidentally' kill you little…Gah!" With that, Kakashi poofed away, leaving three extremely confused ninja's in training and one very amused succubus/guitar thing. Taking charge, Naruto picked up the papers, placed one be each of his teammates and was about to wander home in a trance until Nevan decided to make another grab at him. Once again realizing the trouble he was in, Naruto snapped out of his anger induced semi-consciousness and took a flying leap off the top of the school, a giggling Nevan following quickly after. It was five minutes later when Sakura regained her senses and began hounding Sasuke for a date. Sasuke, who was back to normal, restrained himself from throwing the pink banshee off the roof of the school as he decided that no consequence was too great to escape from this girl. That's when it hit him…

Back with Naruto…

After getting Nevan to calm down (don't ask how, these kinds of things shouldn't be repeated…), Naruto returned home.

"Yo, Dante, did you forget to pay the electric bill or somethin'?"

"I'm sure he just wanted us to enjoy some alone time, Naruto…" Choosing to ignore that statement, the blonde youth continued his search for his new apartment's lights. Muttering a quick "Yes!" as he found the lights, he flicked them on. And then the screaming started.

"Oooooh,
