W00t! Can't WAIT. Ocarina was totally what got me hooked on the Zelda series. I got it as a starter disk with my gamecube, but that was years ago and due to wear and tear (and younger brothers) it was broken. It'll be so wonderful to be able to play it again.

I'm also looking forward to the Kid Icarus: Uprising Game that's supposed to come out soon. I'd never heard of Pit before Super Smash Bros: Brawl, but he immediately became my favorite fighting character. And this new game looks like like it's heavily based off the kind of fighting he did in Brawl. I'm thinking if the creators come up with a good enough storyline and start working this into a series, it has the potential to make it into the big leagues with other titles such as Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda.

Anywho, that's all for now.

Oh! I almost forgot to mention, if you wanna see my REAL blog, go to www.diariesoftwoteens.blogspot.com I put all sorts of good stuff on there: Movie Reviews, Game Reviews, Ramblings, it's good stuff.

It's been too long since I've been on this sight. Where did all the good times go? Honestly. Of course I'm not so much on Tv.com now as I am on Gamespot. I've turned into quite the video game and anime junkie (with reading as well of course). In other words, I'm now a full fledged nerdling! Hooraay! I feel like I owe a lot of it to this website. It really got me started on my way to learning 1st Tier curse words and the meaning of things like Epic, n00b, and what it truely meant to be a geek. Now I'm attending conventions like MechaCon and cosplaying as Lyra from Pokemon. It's seriously the life. And I'm glad to be living it. So this is me, Gaara_luvr, signing off.

Well, I haven't been around Tv.com or Gamespot for a while. The main reason is because I basically moved my blog, interests, and personality over to www.deviantart.com. Which, if you ask me, is a lot more...um...how shall we say "open" and "less crowded" feeling than these websites. The only problem is that the main focus there is art and writing, but there's still plenty of anime and video game fans in with that mix to keep me company. I must admit, I miss the old days before these websites changed everything up and made it a mess. Plus, I had a lot of good friends here.

I'm kind of interested in GameSpot though, because the stuff here's not too bad. Maybe I'll even start coming more often.

Or maybe not, you never know.

Anywho...if any of my friends are ever passing through deviantart and want to look me up, my profile is Gaaraxluvr. See? x instead of the _ . remember that.

C ya.

It's AMAZING. You won't regret it :twisted:.

Wow, I just got finished watching one of the Twilight movie trailers, and I'm seriously impressed. It looks like it's going to be amazing! All the characters are really well cast, including Edward, and the visual effects look fantastic. Now I'm gonna have a hard time waiting for December. :P

But more exciting than the movie is the prospect of Midnight Sun, the rewrite of Twilight, but from Edward's point of view. I just read it the other day, but I'm already obsessed with it. I have to say, Stephenie Meyers is beyond a shadow of a doubt my favourite author since J. K. Rowling. I wonder if she'll rewrite New Moon and Eclipse too. Does anyone know?

Well, it seems like no one's been really interested in my fanfic. Lack of Naruto fans I guess. :roll: Oh well, back to the drawing board. Meanwhile, it seems like The Southern Raiders, The Ember Island Players (for preview, visit this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH_s-OsEnmg) and the rest of the season finale is due to air some point in July. This means episode 16 will probably air some time this week. (YAY)

Of course, none of this is set in stone and may change (why must the writers torture us with these long waits!?!). All we can do is stay tuned and hope. Joy. :roll:

Oh my goodness! This avatar deserves a blog post all of its own! Behold the mutated dancing bananna!! :shock:

isn't it AMAZING!? It does nothing but the same thing OVER AND OVER AGAIN

I can't imagine anything more senile or completely pointless!! What a perfect waste of time!!

Let's all rejoice in the A.D.H.D.!!!~

Time: 2:30 P.M.

Setting: Ichiraku Ramen

As Itachi and Kisame make their get-away, Sakura, Sasuke, Lee, and the Sand Siblings wonder how to find them.

Sakura: So what should we do?

Temari: Shouldn't we go to see the Hokage and tell her that Naruto and Hinata have been kidnapped?

Lee: No way! By the time we manage to tell her, Naruto and Hinata could already have been turned into stew!!

.............

Sasuke: ...stew?

Kankuro: Why would Akatsuki want to eat them?

Lee: Gai-Sensei showed me a picture once of that fish guy with the sword.

Gaara: So?

Lee SO!? Have you seen that guy's TEETH!? I don't think those are for eating veggies!!!

.............................

Temari: *Ahem* Anyway, how will we be able to find them? To track down powerful ninja like Akatsuki, we'd need an extremely elite tracking ninja...where are we going to find one of those?

Everyone: *deep in thought*

Kakashi: Hello everyone; what are you all doing here at Ichiraku Ramen?

..........

Gaara: That'll work.

-------------------------------------

Meanwhile, somewhere in a dark, dank cave.

Naruto: W-where am I? What's going on.........And why is Hinata on top of me!?!?

Hinata: *unconcious*

Naruto: Hey....Hinata. Wake up! C'mon WAKE UP!!!

Hinata: *awakens with a jerk* W-what? where-NARUTO!!

She rolls off of him in a hurry.

Hinata: Naruto-kun? Where are we?

Naruto: I don't know, I can barely see...wait a sec, I think I hear someone coming....

Kisame enters the room, followed by Itachi.

Naruto: Why are you here, and where's my life time supply of ramen!?!?

Kisame: Fool! Have you still not figured it out!? THERE WAS NO LIFE TIME SUPPLY OF RAMEN!! It was all an elaborate hoax in order to capture you and take the Kyuubi!

Naruto: You fiend!! Who promises a life time supply of ramen when they don't have it!? IT'S UNFORGIVABLE!!!!!

Itachi: Your ignorance is sadly amusing.

Hinata: So what are you going to do with us after you've got the Kyuubi!!?

Itachi: We're going to chop you up and boil you into stew of course.

Naruto and Hinata: ???????

Kisame: Is it really all that surprising? I mean, look at my sharp, pointy teeth. Those aren't for eating veggies, you know.

.......................................................

------------------------------------------

Back at Naruto's house, the group and Kakashi search for signs of Itachi and Kisame's wherabouts.

Gaara: Hey! I found tire tracks!!

Lee: Yes! They're definitely tracks made by a van!

Sakura: *swooning* Oooohhhh Lee~~~~~, your powers of deduction are so INCREDIBLE~~ :3

Lee: *blushes red as a tamatoe*

Sakura looks over to make sure Sasuke is watching, and he is.

Sasuke: (w-why is Lee getting all the praise? I can make logical deductions too... ) :?

Kakashi: Hmmm, let me see those tracks.

Temari: What can you tell?

Kakashi: ....They traveled East. They got about 10 yards, but the driver wasn't watching where he was going, so they crashed into some bushes and their van was overturned.

Kankuro: WOW!!! You can tell all that just by looking at the tracks!?

Kakashi: No, I can see their van right over there.

Kankuro: Oh. :|

Kakashi: Afterwards they took Naruto and Hinata and hid in this conveiniantly located cave of doom.

Sasuke: wow....I never knew we had something like that in Konoha.

Gaara: Oh well, let's go.

-------------------------------

What will they find in the convieniantly located cave?

Can Naruto and Hinata be saved before they're boiled into stew?

Will Itachi wreck any more cars?

Find out in the the next exciting chapter!

And don't forget to leave comments!

The setting of this fanfic is before the 2 and a half year time skip and before Sasuke left the Leaf village. I know this might not entirely go along with what happened in the anime, but please just go along with it. I think you'll like it.

Time: Midday

Place: Konoha

-------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto is walking along one of the pathways in the Leaf Village. It is lunch time, so he is headed toward Ichiraku Ramen. Coincidentally, Sakura comes walking down the path also. Naruto is glad to see her so he stops to talk to her.

Naruto: Hey Sakura! What's up?

Sakura: Oh, hey Naruto. Have you seen Sasuke anywhere?

As they are speaking, Sasuke also happens to meet them.

Sakura: SASUKE!!!

As soon as he sees Sakura, he leaves in a hurry.

Sakura: Sasuke!! NOOOO! *to Naruto* Why does he hate me so much!?! Naruto! Why won't he go out with me!?

Naruto: Hmm...Maybe you could go out with someone else (hehe...like ME) to make him....Jealous

Sakura: Really?

Randomly, the Sand Siblings (Gaara, Kankuro, Temari) come around the corner

Naruto: You guys!? What are you all doing here?

Kankuro: We just finished a mission escorting a group of merchants here, so we'll be here for the next week until they finish their business and are ready to head home.

Naruto: Cool, so what are you all going to do while you're here?

Kankuro: I don't know

Temari: Me neither

Gaara: I'm bored

Naruto: Well, we could-

---------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, somewhere on the outskirts of Konoha.

Itachi: Are you ready Kisame?

Kisame: Of course! Hehehe, the Kyuubi will finally finally be ours!

Itachi: Do you remember the plan?

Kisame: I grab the kid and you drive the get-away van.

Kisame: ..........

Itachi: What is it?

Kisame: Are you SURE you won't run into anything this time?(you are half blind you know)

Itachi: FOR THE LAST TIME: I'LL BE FINE! I'm not going to crash again...

*FLASHBACK*

Itachi and Kisame stand on the side of the road staring at the smoking wreckage in front of them.

Itachi: ................................

Kisame: ......................................You IDIOT.

*BACK TO THE PRESENT*

Itachi: ....(maybe).

------------------------------------

Back in Konoha.

Naruto: ...or we could-

Everyone: OK!! THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!!

Lee now makes his way down the path and encounters the group.

Lee: Oh! Good Morning Sakura!!!

Sakura: Oh no...

Lee: ....Sakura

Naruto: Here we go again

Lee: PLEASE BE MY GIRLFRIEND!! I promise to protect you until the day I die!!

Sakura: Lee, for the last time N- hey wait a second

*FLASHBACK*

Naruto: Hmm...Maybe you could go out with someone else to make him....Jealous

*PRESENT*

Sakura: Actually, yes. I will.

Lee: OH PLEAS- wait, YOU WILL?

Everyone: SHE WILL!?

Sakura: Uh huh

Lee: YAHOO!! I can't believe it!

Naruto: (oh sure, she decides to go out with HIM but not ME!)

Suddenly, Naruto's cell phone starts ringing. (yes, we'll pretend they all have cell phones)

Naruto: Heh? Someone's calling me.....Oh my GOSH!!! There's a guy calling me saying that I've won a life time supply of ramen!!!

Gaara: Lucky, I never win anything (money, door prizes, contests, popularity, friends....)

Naruto runs off to his house where the mysterious ramen people told him to meet them, while everyone else heads off to eat lunch together.

-----------------------------------

A few minutes later at Naruto's house.

Naruto: *huff* *huff* Hello? Anyone here?

There is a rustling in the bushes a few feet away, but Naruto is too tired to notice.

Naruto: Ra~~~~~men~~~~~, where are you~~~~~.

A twig snaps in the bushes.

Naruto: Huh? *turning around* ramen?- GWAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*THUD*

-----------------------------------

About ten minutes later at Ichiraku Ramen. The Sand Siblings, Sakura, Lee, and Sasuke (he joined them after Naruto left) are eating lunch.

Sasuke: I still can't believe it.......you're really going out with Lee, Sakura? (thank God, maybe now she'll finally leave me alone)

Sakura: YEP!!! (HA! He's so shocked! He must be so jealous...Soon I'll have him in the palm of my hand.)

Suddenly Hinata calls Sakura on her cellphone. Sakura puts her on speakerphone.

Hinata: *huff huff* Everyone! It's horrible!!

Gaara: What!? What is it!?

Hinata: I-I was walking to Naruto's house to tell him something, but when I got there, there were these two guys in front of his door...They were both wearing big black cloaks with red clouds on them-

Sakura: Akatsuki!!

Hinata: One of them looked a lot like a fish...

Gaara: Kisame!

Hinata: And the other one had...Sharingan...

Sasuke: ........ITACHI!!

Hinata: I hid behind a wall and watched them...Then the fish guy knocked Naruto out, tied up, and hauled him into a van!

Hinata: We have to help him- EEEEEEEEK!!!!

Sakura: Hinata!?

Temari: Hinata!!!!!

Sasuke: What happened to her!?

Voice on phone: Hmph...it seems that the pesky Hyuuga girl has revealed our actions to all of you. However, it matters not. There is nothing that you can do to rescue them.

Kankuro: Let them go!!

Itachi: fufufufufufufu...of course, we'll give you their corpses back once we're done with them

Sasuke: GRRRRR!!! FACE ME YOU COWARD!!!

Itachi: fufu...do you really think you can take me now, brother? Very well then; come, and we shall see if your hate is yet strong enough

Itachi hangs up the cell phone.

Gaara: Naruto...

Sakura: And Hinata.........

Lee: I'M GOING OUT WITH SAKURA! I'M GOING OUT WITH SAKURA!!!

Temari: SHUT THE HECK UP!!!

Sasuke: Itachi......I'll make you pay for everything, and get Naruto and Hinata back.

Sakura: I will too.

Kankuro: We all will!!

Lee: I too will help (to prove myself to Sakura)

Gaara: Let's go.......

Gaara: ......

Sasuke: .....................

Everyone: ................................................

Gaara: No one has any idea where they are, do they?

Everyone: ..................................................................

------------------------------------------------------

Will everyone figure out where Itachi and Kisame are?

Will Naruto and Hinata be rescued?

Will Sasuke become jealous of Lee?

And what ever happened to the get-away van?

Itachi: ....

Kisame: ....

Itachi: Don't.....say.....a word.
