The Calamity Games: Level 23

[][][]

"Damn. Yo Naruto, four lackeys 12:00."

"What does time have to do with this, Kiba?"

"Dobe! Look out! Fire ball!"

"Holy shit, watch the muggers, princess. Hey, what level are we on now?"

"Fuck, I'm out of ammo. And only 23."

"We are mortally screwed. Oh crap! Dang it, I'm out of mana."

"Shikamaru get your ass up and help us!"

"Hey, hey, hey, smart ass, duck!"

And in a big whoosh, their platform was destroyed.

[][][]

They each sighed and let the death music play over their sorrow. "We were so close to twenty four too." Shikamaru relented.

"Sure we were, the hell were you doing back there Shikamaru?" Kiba growled.

"Well, I'm a level thirty wizard, and you guys already stole all my potions because Naruto can't stop dying by the fire ball princesses-"

"Those shits grab man. It's not as easy as it looks." Naruto interrupted, checking the credits to see if they got any bonuses.

"Well whatever. You wasted my mana back there, I couldn't move." Sasuke scoffed.

"I was out of ammo and I still kicked ass." Sasuke was a level twenty five sniper. Oh, hey, we started this off rough huh? They were just playing the latest PC game, Calamity Wars, Do Or Die, and rumor has it that when you reach level 100, you get an all access game pass. Which meant free workshop and no more diamonds needed to go to the blacksmith. That was something that Kiba could use. He was a level eighteen sword fighter. Naruto being a noob, he was only a level seven archer. Everyone had to start off as an archer and when you reached level ten you could pick your class.

"Hey, yeah, you guys didn't help me at all back there! I was being raped by that damn fire breathing princess and that fat ass ogre with the giant tooth." Naruto picked up his bow and arrow and left them in the workshop to be repaired later. He had to do mini games to earn the coins to get it repaired.

"Shit Sasuke, I can't believe we traded Suigetsu and Karin for him." Kiba rolled his eyes. Suigetsu was a level twenty two shadow miser, and Karin a level Seventeen dragon slayer. The two argued so much that Sasuke traded them out for Naruto, but they still least didn't die by level two princesses.

"Whatever. I've got to go, dinner is ready, and my brother said he'd kill me if he found out I was still playing with you geeks." Sasuke shuddered. Just imagining Itachi with that murderous glare, death by stare.

"Doesn't Itachi play too?" Naruto blinked.

"Yup, better than all you dorks. He's a level seventy two witch hunter. And he's on level 45, unlike us." Kiba pouted.

"Damn, I wanna join his legion bad. What were they again, the 'Akatsuki_bitches'?" Shikamaru sighed, their legion was real and utter crap.

"Sasuke, you better not be playing Calamity Wars again!" Itachi called from downstairs. Sasuke gulped and said his goodbye, powering off the PC.

Red_eyes has powered off.

Shikamaru sighed. "See you suckers in the morning. If you last that long."

sleepwalker43 has powered off.

"You better train your ass Naruto!" Kiba screeched and removed his head set.

DOG$$Man has powered off.

Naruto huffed. He didn't have anything to do anyways. He adjusted his headset. "Goddamn princesses, here I come."

[][][]

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Naruto ran away from the princesses in the game.

"Wow, this is sad." Naruto looked up. It was a witch hunter player. She had raven hair and a very revealing purple dress.

"Holy crap! Someone help me!" Naruto screamed again as another fireball was shot at him.

The witch hunter rolled her eyes. They jumped down from the tree gracefully.

A huge grandiose blast sent the princesses back to their flower gardens.

"Shit.." Naruto whispered through his mic.

"Level seven, huh? Figures." The witch hunter whispered, refilling her stock.

"Thanks for that. Who are you, I feel like I've heard your description before.."

"None ya. But also, you do realize you're on another legions property, right?"

Naruto looked around. "Oh crap, dude, er, gal, sorry about that!"

"Yeah, you might want to pack up your frilly stockings and leave now, huh?" The witch hunter turned around and walked off.

Naruto peered over. A level seventy two witch hunter? He really feels like he heard that description before.

[][][]

And Naruto was really bad at that game, because he had no idea what a legion even was. Like what is that, what even is that? Sasuke had told him he wasn't officially in his legion since Naruto quote 'Sucked ass so hard that it exploded and the pieces could be used to make chicken stew.' And Sasuke's legion was called the 'Shinobi_Kys'. Kys stood for the person reading their legion name should kill themselves. And Naruto did research on this whole legion bull shit.

What the hell was an asgard?

Or a deviant?

There were so many terms and Sasuke was generous enough to give Naruto a starter pack. In Sasuke's neat handwriting on a sheet of paper read, 'Terminology of Calamity Wars'. There were waaay too many words that Naruto thought had one meaning, but meant something else.

Apparently an asgard was a soldier, or a body guard, that guarded a legion territory. Only sometimes legions have it. But it's required that the legion has at least three level eighty or above.

And a deviant was someone without a legion. Naruto guessed he'd be considered a deviant then. Naruto squinted at another one, double click. A what? Isn't that just double clicking with your mouse or whatever?

Double Click: A certain hack of the game that only level sixties or above really master. A double click let's you see your opponents weapon strength and if they have any magic. And it let's you lower it with a double click and turn it into any number you want. For example if Kiba had a level 14 sword, my brother Itachi (a damn double clicker) could double click and lower it to a level 4. Ten levels, Goddamn! Or if Shikamaru has twenty potions in stock to use in battle, Itachi could double click and lower him down to only 2. Pretty shitty right?

Naruto laughed lightly at Sasuke's jokes in between. They were some pretty bad ass no lives with the rest of summer to fuck around with Terminology, like double click.

Ding!

Naruto looked up to see he got a message from Sasuke on the game to hurry the fuck up and get on. His words not mine. Naruto shrugged and typed back fast.

can't. still suck ass so hard it explodes. and I'm not in the mood for chicken stew

Jesus, it was a joke! Take a chill pill, we aren't going to the levels anyway. We were just gonna smash some eggs over at the barnyard field.

the place with the hotties?

yup

I'll be there.

[][][]

"Shit." Sasuke's character cursed through him.

"Why must you say such profanities?"

"Shut up Dobe. My brothers dumb ass legion just walked in."

Naruto went agape, the same witch hunter he saw. Actually they were all playing as friggin girls.

"They are all fucking perverts for being girls." Kiba snickered.

"It's not like that. Itachi messed around making an account and he made it a girl purposely so no one would know it was him."

"Ah, classic artemist hiding style."

"Classic what?" Naruto was such a noob.

"But then he got really good, and his wierd ass friends joined in. I started before him and he's better!"

"Someone's pouting?" Naruto laughed.

"Oh go fuck yourself with a frying pan." Itachi's legion began smashing the eggs around the barn. Except for the seventy two level witch hunter.

"Yo, Sasuke! Want a classic spar, your legion versus ours?" Hidan asked, his character was very revealed.

"You're on!" Kiba growled. "You guys start it."

"With pleasure." Yahiko's character actually covered up nicely. "Any bans?"

"Ban sniper rifles." Itachi told him from behind. Sasuke grit his teeth.

"Also ban witch scythes!" Sasuke screeched. Itachi rolled his eyes.

So that was Itachi's character? Naruto blinked.

"Okay, no rifles, no witch scythes. Want to sit this one out Itachi?" Deidara asked him. His character was very pompous.

"Nah, I got this." He said in a very cocky manner.

The stakes were set.

Legion versus legion battle will commence shortly. Akatsuki_bitches against Shinobi_Kys. Get your gear ready.

Naruto gulped, he'd never been in a legion match, he technically wasn't even in their legion, but the computer included him.

Since Itachi's legion had more people, some of them didn't fight.

It went as such.

Sasuke vs. Deidara

Kiba vs. Hidan

Shikamaru vs. Kakuzu

Naruto vs. Itachi and Sasori

"Huh? Why am I against two people!?" Naruto cried out.

"Damn it! Itachi did you double click?!" Itachi shrugged at Sasuke.

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't." Naruto was so confused. Double click worked on legion battles too?

Battle will commence in 5...

Sasuke got his pistols ready.

Battle will commence in 4...

Kiba sharpened his blades.

Battle will commence in 3...

Shikamaru muttered this was troublesome and brought out his wizard wand.

Battle will commence in 2...

Naruto jittered and got his bow and arrow ready.

Battle will commence in 1...

"You're going down Itachi!" Sasuke screamed at him. Itachi smirked. "We'll see."

Commence Battle.

Uh Oh.

[][][]

Naruto was royally screwed. Because one minute he had five arrows left, now he only had one.

"Get your head in the game Naruto!" Sasuke called out to him while trying to get Deidara's character.

Naruto took in a deep breath and aimed his arrow at Itachi. Since Itachi was the one on their legion who double clicked.

He thought he had Itachi, until some strings tied him down.

"I didn't need help Sasori." Itachi sighed leaping down in front of Naruto. He brought out his witch slicing blade and held it and Naruto's neck.

Itachi rose a brow. "Aren't you that kid that was on our territory yesterday?" Itachi asked.

"No that was my...twin sister."

"Your twin sister has the exact same Calamity character as you?" Itachi poked Naruto's neck with the blade.

"Yes." Itachi rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. You gonna surrender or what?" Naruto turned to see Sasori still holding him down.

He was about to, until Sasuke shot Itachi's blade out of his hands and Kiba throwing his sword to slice Sasori's strings.

"Interference!" Itachi called out to the ref.

"No hand on hand touch! Veto!" Itachi scoffed.

Naruto quickly grabbed his bow and arrow and jumped up to run away.

And he thought he was helping when he saw Sasuke about to be blown away by a bomb from Deidara's character.

So he thought Sasuke would be grateful if he pushed Deidara away from him.

But no, he heard the computer speak again.

Match set. Disqualification on legion Shinobi_Kys. The winners are Akatsuki_bitches.

[][][]

Sasuke groaned. "Naruto you dumbass! You don't interfere!" Naruto was agape.

"But you did!"

"No idiot! It's not an interference unless I touch your opponent! You touched Deidara, dammit!" They could hear Itachi's legion snicker.

"Well that's...I believe 5 to 0." Kisame laughed.

"Suck a dick." Kiba glowered. The Akatsuki left the barn and that dick Kakuzu threw an egg in Kiba's characters face. "Fucker!"

"Well, that was great. But I'm leaving now. I actually thought we could have won that one." Shikamaru sighed.

sleepwalker43 has powered off.

The rest of them, excluding Naruto agreed.

Red_eyes has powered off.

DOG$$Man has powered off.

Naruto sighed. He was the only one left again.

[][][]

Itachi was philosophically bored now. He managed enough solo missions and captured enough witches, but he was bored now.

"I guess the blacksmith is in order." He muttered and let go 900 coins and 5 diamonds to get his witch scythe restored to full bar.

Itachi perked when the same character of Naruto's 'twin sister' walked in.

He came to restore his bows. Itachi felt kind of bad.

"Hey, Naruto, right?" Naruto perked.

"Yeah."

"I could.." Itachi went below a whisper. "Restore your bows." Naruto blinked.

"How do I know you won't just make me get to zero?"

"Please. You're a level seven, I'm not interested." Itachi said as if he was turning down a date offer.

Itachi grabbed his hand in the game quick and led him off to open patches of grass. Which used to be witch territory.

But Itachi took care of that.

"Now just stand there." Naruto nodded. And in one minute he had fifty arrows.

"Whoa.." Naruto gasped.

"You're welcome." Itachi said turning to walk off.

"Wait. Er, can you..help me to level up? I mean it's no biggie, but you're on a whole other scale than me and-"

"Sure."

"Wait. What?"

"I said sure. Although what I do to train is tough so are you up for it?"

"Yeah!"

"We'll meet here again tomorrow, at this time. Don't be late or it's off." Itachi recited and his character walked away.

[][][]

Sasuke glared at his brother all throughout dinner that night. Itachi was smirking while eating quietly. Their parents looked between the two and shrugged. They were used to this.

"You definitely cheated! You chased Naruto making him bump into Deidara!" Itachi fake gasped.

"What? How could you say such a thing? I'm hurt Sasuke. I really am." Sasuke balled his fists.

"You dick wad!" Mikoto gave Sasuke a warning glance and Fugaku gave Itachi one too, as a warning to tell him to stop egging Sasuke on.

"Well, you're just sad because your legion won't be ready before The Calamity Games. Taking place on level 100. You only have three more weeks. What level were you on again? Oh yeah, 23." Sasuke steamed.

"Yeah well, you won't be ready either, you're only on level-"

"50. Yeah, I got to 50 in only two weeks. I'll make it to 100." Sasuke glared and took his plate upstairs to his room. He slammed the door, not before screaming out, "DICK WAD!" And locked it.

Itachi noticed the look he got from his parents. "What?" He blinked. "What?" He asked again, then he saw the look on their faces. "Oh no, no, no, no."

"You don't even know what we're going to say." Mikoto offered.

"I do know. Because that's the same look you had when you made me give him my green dinosaur toy."

"Are you still angry about-"

"Yes!" Itachi sighed and composed himself. "There's no way that I'll be able to get him to level 100 and myself. Impossible."

"Nothing is impossible if you just believe!" His mother said, her eyes sparkling. Itachi had a pained face.

"No. Please don't. If you make me do this, I might cry. Don't make me do this." Itachi had a void look on his face, even though he was being completely serious.

"Do it or no allowance for a month." Fugaku replied.

"No."

"Two months."

"No."

"Three months."

"No."

"Want to make that four months?" Fugaku smirked. Damn it, Itachi only had his summer job for three months, since he would quit by then. No way was he staying if Hidan would keep trying to flirt. Not too subtly.

"Fine." Itachi grit through his teeth. "But on my own terms!" Itachi finished, he took his dinner plate and went to his room, and before slamming the door he shouted, "And I want my dinosaur back!" And locked it.

[][][]

"I'm a fucking angel with a shotgun!" Sasuke screamed and shot everyone randomly.

"No fun. There could've been a witch stone." Itachi exasperated.

"Okay, okay. What's next?" Sasuke turned to him.

"Alright so this is level 23 right?" Sasuke nodded. Itachi opened up a digital map.

"Cool."

"Mm. This let's me see where we avoid and where we go. Picked it up from stabbing the eyes out of the boss on level 26."

"Sick. Sounds fun though."

"Here we go. So actually you're in the clear. All you've got to do is go through that tunnel and you're on level twenty four."

"Sweet. Now can you lend a diamond, I want to be at full bar to tell the guys how to get outta here."

"Haha, no. Yeah, dad threatened me to help you. Your friends help them selves."

"And you think you can stop me?"

"Sure, sure. Tell them, then get stuck on the next level." It was wierd that rooms were next to each other and they had their headsets on.

"I'll tell dad you won't help me." As much as it pains Sasuke to get help now.

"I'll double click, to make it look like you're on level 38 or whatever."

"That's all you rely on!"

"Not true. I once broke a guys back without having to lower the stock of potions he had."

"If you didn't have double click you wouldn't be on level 50!"

"51. I played a bit. And no, I learned double click on level 35. I only used it for 15 levels up till now."

"And now?"

"And now.." Itachi looked over at the clock. "I have to go. Witch hunter things you wouldn't get it."

"Ah! Wait!"

But Itachi already left.

"Damn witch hunters."

[][][]

Itachi sat back as Naruto continued to aim and tried to hit the flying emote birds in the sky.

"Wow, you are not an arrow guy." Itachi spoke as he missed for the fifth time. Itachi stood up and took the bow and arrow from him.

He aimed and easily got the bird.

"Well easy for you, you're a higher level."

"And? Everyone starts as an archer."

"Yeah, well." Itachi groaned. He didn't have time for this too.

He needed to get to the next level.

"Okay, you want a sneak peek at level 51?" Naruto nodded waringly.

"But I thought only if you were on a higher level you could go to lower ones. I'm on a lower one."

"You are, but you can spectate." Itachi gave Naruto a screen, and Naruto watched intently as Itachi teleported to his level.

Unpause.

Itachi widened his eyes, realising that he was right in the middle of getting smacked by a shark bear. He quickly ducked.

"Phew. Okay, now where is that.." Itachi looked around and saw the exit only twenty more boss fights away. He groaned and pulled out his scythe.

"Cool.." Naruto muttered.

Itachi slid under a boss and was met by another in front of him, and damn was he cornered.

"Oh shit craps." Naruto laughed.

Itachi used his scythe to use as a leaping mechanism and jumped over both of them.

He was avoiding all the bosses, even though he'd have to fight them eventually.

"Itachi look out!" Itachi turned to see a boss coming at him full speed.

He used his free hands to make an enormous witch dust blast.

"Now, where is that other one.." Itachi turned around to see the other boss looking down at him. "No hard feelings?"

It grabbed Itachi's leg and threw him into the wall.

"I'll take that as a no." Naruto smiled, Itachi had one hell of a humour.

Itachi dodged it's second attack and ran for the exit, except he couldn't leave until he defeated the twenty bosses heading for him.

He gulped.

"Okay, okay, so I know what I said was mean and all-"

A boss picked Itachi up by his hair and took his scythe. Itachi chuckled nervously.

He spit right in that boss face. The boss dropped him and threw his scythe. All the way back to the entrance.

"Shit." Itachi didn't want to use double click for some reason.

Because Naruto was watching.

It was like a feeling you don't want when you don't want someone to watch you eat on a date.

A date? What?

Itachi shook it off, and flew into the air. He pulled out a blaster he got from the previous level.

He closed one eye and aimed at the center, to knock out all the bosses.

He took a deep breath, "SUCK IT, YOU BRONIES!"

BOOM!

Naruto blinked. The explosion made the screen in front of him whizz out. Was Itachi okay? Did he make it? Naruto squinted to see the smoke clearing.

Itachi's character was on the ground. Naruto waited.

And waited.

"Well, that was hard." Itachi's character coughed and sat up. She compelled her scythe towards her and kicked a boss.

Naruto laughed.

8_Spinning Wheel_8 is now on level 52.

Itachi teleported back in front of Naruto. "Hope that gave you some learning advice. Never finish off a boss without a witty line."

Naruto laughed. "Yeah, thanks."

[][][]

RamenKing1 is now a level 10.

"Oh sweet!" Naruto turned excited towards Itachi.

"Feels good right? Okay, so now you don't have to be an archer anymore. Since you're crap anyway." Naruto pouted.

"You're only level 10, so the only ones open to you are dragon slayer, wizard, ice master, or golem hunter."

"Which did you pick?"

"Well, I got into the whole hunting thing so I started off with golems, witches come when you're a level 30."

"Wow."

"Yeah. When I reach level 80, God hunter will be open, can't wait for that."

"So which is the best for me then?"

"I dunno, you decide." Naruto pouted, "Buut, if I had to choose. I'd say you're a-"

"Golem hunter. I'll do that one." Itachi widened his eyes.

"That'll be easy for you, damn. Since I'm here, I could pretty much show you the ropes of being a hunter."

"Guess I'm just lucky."

"That's why you picked it?"

"No." Yes. "It appealed to me." Or you want more time with Itachi.

"Wow, it's midnight, I hadn't noticed."

"Are you logging off?" Naruto said, almost sad.

Itachi noticed this. "Not for a bit." Naruto smiled.

[][][]

Itachi blinked wearily. "Okay, so a weapon that'd be best for you to be a hunter," a yawn, "would be the axe. Considering they are golems."

"What did you use?"

"A scythe."

"Is that all you ever use?"

"Sometimes I use my bare hands and listen to the silent screams of my foes - of course that's all I use!"

"Hehe, wow okay. Dang, this thing is hard for my character to pick up."

"Here, let me." Naruto was no pervert, but Itachi's character's boobs were crushing against his character's back when helping him lift the axe.

"Thanks.." Naruto heard Itachi yawn over the mic.

"Yup. Well, my laptop needs charging."

"You going now?"

"Ah, well..how about I give you my number, when I'm not on, I could give you tips?"

"Sure." Naruto doesn't know why his cheeks got all red. Him, not the character.

[][][]

Naruto stared at the ceiling of his room. He'd been playing for a while, and all the things Itachi had taught him, really helped. He turned over in his bed. Maybe if he got better, he could join his legion. He turned back over. Nah, that's impossible. Turn. But what if Itachi offered one of those days? Than he'd have to accept. Turn. But what makes him think Itachi will even continue helping him on the game for that long. Turn. He's being an idiot. Itachi's legion had killer players.

Deidara, a level sixty four. He was a bomber. His character was a beach blonde with pink high lights. She had huge tits too, and always wearing some sort of cheerleader looking outfit.

Hidan, a level seventy. He was a dragon slayer. His character had shirt gray hair, with a purple clip in it always. Even bigger breasts and her armour alway showed something.

Kakuzu, a level seventy one. He was also a witch hunter like Itachi. Only Itachi was closer to becoming a God hunter, his character was a prude, with a medium chest, and always wore a black rimming dress that showed her backside.

Kisame, a level sixty nine. He was an ice master. His character was one of those girls that made fun of you constantly. Flat chested, and a bit if a tomboy. Always wearing male armour.

Yahiko, a level seventy five and the leader. His character had a big chest, but hid it with an oversized pink sweater. He was a terrain maker. He could shift an area to his advantage.

Sasori, a level seventy three. He was a string along. They sort of made people into puppets. His character was a red head, short and had a temper. She was flat, but had a cute face.

And Itachi, a level seventy two. Witch hunter, master of the scythe. His character was a quiet one, but when he had fun, she came out of her shell. She was big chested, with pale skin. Always wearing purple lingerie, and a transparent purple robe over it. Hair in a high ponytail.

Naruto, a level ten. Golem hunter. And a noob. Naruto pulled out his phone and stared at the recent number he added. He doesn't know why he clicked it. It was four thirty in the morning.

"Wow, when I said you could call for tips, I didn't mean at any time." Itachi sounded wide awake though. Actually he sounded...masculine. His voice was sort of deep and had a serenity to it, like Naruto could listen to it all day. "Just your luck, I was getting ready for work. What'd you need?" That's right. Itachi was 18 wasn't he? He would be going to college soon. Naruto was only 16.

"I, um. How'd you find golems when you were a hunter for them?" Naruto actually just wanted to talk to Itachi. Like just talk. But it's like they were limited to gamer talk.

"Oh, that's easy. When you become a hunter you get a radar for when there's a golem, or witch, or God or whatever you hunt. It only appears really when you move around alot."

"Oh okay, what about," think fast, "What does being a hunter do for you? I mean I remember Sasuke telling me that he gets mission requests and it helps him level up some."

"Yeah, so all the hunters and slayers and shooters have things to do, yeah?" Itachi said, sounding kind of restrained. "When you hunt for a golem and you successfully capture it, you take it back to your base and turn it into a stone. More stones you got, the more recognition you get, and with the recognition, you get mission requests. And prize money, XP, all that jazz."

Naruto nodded, even though he knew Itachi couldn't see him. "Wait...a base?" Naruto could hear Itachi gasp on the other line.

"Do you not have one? What are you, a klingon?" Naruto laughed at the Star Trek reference.

"Only when I get my light saber." He heard Itachi gasped again. "Just kidding, I have the double edge."

"Oh my god, Naruto don't scare me like that." They shared a laugh, such geeks. "Anyways, everyone has a base. Like a base of their own, not like legion territory or anything like that. The base is where you find your mission requests or where you see how much more XP you need. Or where you check emails from the game makers about a DLC pack or whatever." Naruto hummed.

"Yeah, so, it's a really hard process to make one. Pulled my hair out doing it. I'm surprised Sasuke hasn't shown you how yet. I'll show you how to make one later today."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

[][][]

Itachi had been on the phone with Naruto for his entire shift. And just like with his laptop, his phone needed to charge too. Itachi kept holding it between his ear and shoulder that he never even noticed. Carrying a tray of French fries and hamburgers to table seven is when Hidan rationalised himself and stopped crying in the oil, and Deidara didn't fry his hair, which caught Itachi's attention and he saw he was at 8%. Itachi inwardly groaned.

"So that's why Yoda is green." Naruto finished his idiotic explanation.

"I always did wonder. Now can you tell me why Sasuke thinks Sadie Hawkins is a person and not a dance?"

"Some questions are better left unanswered." Another laugh.

"You really are something Naruto."

"As my teachers and many of my peers have told me. To which I answered with an affirmative."

"Someone's been studying their Uchiha language?"

"Sasuke man. Just Sasuke."

"Okay shit for brains, any more invaluable questions. Or shall we continue to nerd out about how hot Starlord is?"

"Don't even get me started. Rocket Racoon is so much hotter," Naruto considered it, "If you like fur and a talking animal constantly on his period."

"Hey you just explained my ex girlfriend. And Groot beats them in terms of looks."

"Are you forgetting Drax? Hello?"

"Oh, you're right. I take it back." They couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out laughing. Some customers looked at Itachi like he was insane. Uh oh, 7%.

"So, that question or?" Itachi insinuated.

"Um. When's your shift over?"

"In about three hours, why?" Naruto shrugged. He can't see you, dammit.

"Sasuke is pestering me to get on right now, so I gotta go." 6%, just in time too.

"See you, same time?"

"Yup, can't wait to drool over Drax." Itachi laughed.

Such a sound.

[][][]

"Whoa, when did you become a Golem hunter Naruto?" Kiba inquired.

"I did an all nighter."

"But why golem hunter?" Shikamaru peered.

"Well, I figured since Ita-," Did Itachi want anyone to know he'd been helping him? Probably not, "Since, I read how to hunt in a book once, why the hell not?"

"Whatever, enough about that Dobe. Guys, I know how to beat level 23!"

"For real? Or are you just fucking with us like that time you said Principal Tsunade gave Jiraiya a blow-"

"That wasn't a joke. And yeah. Itachi showed me." Naruto rose a brow, why did Itachi help him?

"Lets go for it then?" Shikamaru tried.

"Yeah! Let's wreck this shit! And Naruto, watch out for princesses." Kiba snickered.

Naruto rolled his eyes.
