CHAPTER 29--Uzumaki Naruto

Well, I hadn't died yet, but I'd come close.

We'd made our way to the castle roof -- and I knew it was the castle because every direction I looked held MORE roof -- and now we just had to get the diamond and get out. That would prove more complicated than I had originally thought.

The long glass structure we standing by overlooked a long ornate hallway, decked out with chandaliers every five feet, marble walls and bearskin rugs on the floor. I am talking fancy.

"Look," Toshiro said pointing at the far end of the hallway, just out of my view. I smudged my face against the glass and was able to see it. Toshiro rolled his eyes. Parked at the end of the hallway was a big blue hued diamond. It sparkled with a million different blues. Like sequins, but natural. That was our target, the big blue diamong we'd seen in the little slideshow.

"Wow, its so, so, monodom... uh, monodomadic...? Yeah! Monodomadic!"

"It's MONOCHROMATIC," Toshiro said.

"What is? Say isn't that a form of male pattern baldness?" I asked. A striking thought jumped to mind. "Oh man, Toshiro, I never knew that you were going bald! I mean come to think of it, that really isn't a natural color. And hey, aren't you like, old enough? I heard hair regression starts when you reach 60. Are you over sixty, and hiding it like Lady Tsunade? Hah, did you know that she's actually REALLY old? I did, that's why I call her grandma-!"

"NARUTO, YOU IDIOT! SHUT UP!" He looked surprised with hinself. I mean, I was surprised too. I thought he was supposed to be the calm and collected Captain. He sighed. "Just shut up until I say it's time. And stay alert. He told me security is very high around here."

Yeah, I stayed awake for about the first hour or so, but after that, I was definitely asleep. "Now, Naruto. Naruto? NARUTO!"

I sleepily opened my eyes and saw I was sleeping with my face glued to the glass and my butt sticking in the air. I felt my hands off to the side. Suddenly, it felt like an icecube slid down my back and into my pants. I jumped and my face slipped in my own drool, sending me tumbling down the inclining glass array. I stopped just before I came into the ray of a searching flashlight and was pulled back in by my pants. Toshiro put his sword back by his waist and glared at me.

"SHHH! You idiot!"

I pouted as I wipped the drool off of my face. "It was YOUR fault..."

"Come. And memorize. The plan. Now."

I sulked my way over. What a complete jerk! I mean every little thing I did seemed to piss him off! Damn, at this rate he'd get annoyed with my BREATHING and I didn't think that would do good for me. I mean, I just didn't get him. He was like a girl... I chuckled to myself at the thought of how pissed he'd get at THAT little observation.

"Here's the plan," he said snapping me back to attention. I listened closely and it seemed simple enough.

A few minutes later, I was wearing the special stealth gear -- that the Black Ops wore a lot -- and we were directly over the crystal.

"I don't understand why you don't always wear stealth clothes. I mean, aren't you ninjas?" I opened my mouth for a quick reply, but he did have a point. I mean my jumpsuit WAS bright orange. "Well... we're so stealthy we don't NEED stealth suits! Ha!" Nice one, Naruto!

Toshiro rolled his eyes and held out the end of the rope, but before letting me take it. He warned me not to drop him. To be fair, I HAD pondered how funny the look on his face would be if my hand accidently slipped. But I promised and slowly lowered him down, with the help of my handy clones of course.
