The Three Demonteers Part 1

The scene now changes as Misa and Ai strolled in. "Good things Jessica decided to let us stay in our usual forms." Ai said proudly.

"Yep. I stayed in my good. I don't do fancy dos." Misa giggled. Turning to the castle, Misa continued the story, "You see folks, so that our heroes Gaara, Sasuke and Naruto can make their dream come to life, they have to learn the real meaning of the ninjateer creed..."

"All for one and one for all!" the couple said at once excitedly.

"And we got a song for that." Ai said with a grin as she and Misa got out their new guitars, their previous ones got mashed by Kabuto and Zabuza earlier. The couple begins playing the song as they laughed as three Ninjateers – Subuku no Temari, Shikamaru Nara, and Kiba Inuzuka - ride in on horses grabbing them while singing along.

Ninjateers: All for one, hey!

Kiba: All for one and one for all

Ninjateers: Ninjateers sing…

Shikamaru: All for one and one for all!

Ninjateers: If you dare to,
Cross our path prepare to fall,
'cause we’ll fight you
All for one and one for all!

Soon the ninjateer goes into the courtyard that is outside the palace of Princess Jessica, the daughter of King Sasori and the ruler of Land of Wind, Japan. There, everyone is training.

The men, including those just arrived saluted their superior who is standing nearby. He is a man wearing a black uniform and has long black hair and grayish skin. He also wears a wooden leg. His name is Orochimaru, the captain of the Royal Ninjateers. Orochimaru looks on as he say, "I think I will love playing in this parody. Even if I already know that I will be defeated at the end of the story. But at least, I’m now playing as a villain instead of a fangirl of a teacher in Ninja School Musical!"

And all for one and one for all,
And all for one and all

Orochimaru rolls his eyes as he salutes back to them. It will be time before he will have no more used for these guys. The ninjateers hopped to as they practice their swords to fight in battle with.

So if you think you’d care
To kick some derriere,
You know that as a ninjateer
You’d be so fearsome.
If you believe you’re manly,
Come and join our family.
Soon we’ll make sure
You’re a ninjateer!

During the practice, three janitors are looking in from a window in the basement. They are our heroes though they have changed and outfits and ages since then.

One of them is a 13 year old boy with red hair, emerald eyes, a love kanji, black shirt, red jeans, and a gourd on his back. His name is Subuku no Gaara.

The second grown up boy is a 13 year old boy who has black spiky hair and wears a white and blue hakama. His name is Sasuke Uchiha.

The last of the boys is a 13 year old boy yellow hair and has whiskers on his face and wears a black headband, a black and orange zipper shirt and orange pants. His name is Naruto Uzumaki.

They smiled at the ninjateers as they continued practicing. Gaara said happily, "Man, isn't it great? That will be us out there someday, I know it. I can feel it."

"Yeah, I sure can't wait either." Naruto said in agreement.

"Yep!" Sasuke said in agreement as the three watched on as the ninjateers continued singing Ai and Misa's song.

All for one, hey!
Men of honor hear my call.
Ninjateers sing…

Ai: All for one and one for all!

Ninjateers: All for one, hey!
All for one and one for all!
All for one, hey!

It's time for the finale. The ninjateers crowd up and form the symbol on the famous Royal Ninjateers symbol getting them all excited.

And all for one and one for all!
And all for one and one for all!
And all for one and all……

Misa and Ai pops out and finished the song up.

Misa and Ai: All for one and…
One for all!

The song is over as the janitors look on impressed. They chuckled as they go back to work as they keep on dreaming. Gaara is shining the boots, Naruto is mopping the floors while Sasuke is at work on the pipes repairing them. The pay is lousy but at least they get to watch the ninjateers practiced.

"Man, oh man. We may be janitors today, boys. But tomorrow, we are ninjateers." Gaara said proudly. "And to think, we will end up being the greatest heroes in Japan."

A bark is heard. Gaara turns to see his pet wolf Sand grown up as well, coming over with a familiar hat. It's the same hat Shukaku gave him the day Gaara and his friends got saved by those bandits. Sand barks as he gave the hat to his owner.

"All right, my lucky ninjateer hat. Thanks, Sand." Gaara said as he patted the dog on the head happily. "Man, I can't forget the day you gave me this hat. Heck, you and your fellow ninjateers signed it too." Gaara flipped under the hat. Sure enough, Shukaku, Kyuubi, and Demon Sasuke's names are in there, the name of the ninjateers who saved the boys' lives.

"My pleasure. The least I can do is to give you my autograph."Shukaku said as he daydreams about being a star in hollywood.

"Man, I can't wait to be a great big hero." Gaara said happily as he continued working. He yelps in alarm. That's because Naruto wasn't watching what he is doing and hits him in the head via a mop. As the result, Gaara caused shoe polish to fell into a bucket which Naruto is using for the mopping. "Uzemaki!"

"Naruto, you clutz!" Kyuubi chided at the blonde ninja.

"Sorry, my bad!" Naruto said stupidly. He continues to mop, unaware that he is soaking his mop in shoe polish and soaking it onto the floor. "I can't not wait to be a ninjateer. I got a lot of good ideas. Heck, they can use something clever as me!"

Gaara and Sasuke chuckled quietly. The truth is, Naruto's I.Q. is under...well, 10. Heck, even a brick can outwit him anyway. Of course, they don't have the heart to tell it to him. Naruto kept on mopping and yelp in shock. There is brown shoe polish all over the floor he was cleaning. Concerned, Naruto did his best to clean it up but all he is doing is making some more.

"D'oh!" Naruto groaned in annoyance.

"Hey Uchiha, how about you," Gaara asked Sasuke.

"Ha! Those guys need someone brave like me!" Sasuke said proudly.

"Yep. They need someone who is brave too."

"Didn't you hear me?" Suddenly the pipes gave out a low groan from pressure. Sasuke yelps like a little girl and hides in his red toolbox. The truth be told is that Sasuke is a momma's boy, who get freaked out easily. Sasuke took a peek out, with a wrench stuck on his head. He chuckles sheepishly as he realized that it was the pipes that scared him. Gaara shook his head. He knew that he and his friends weren’t good enough yet, but who know? They could become ninjateers one day.

--

Meanwhile, Orochimaru enters his private bathroom about to get into his bathtub. He just had a hard day and after all that, he deserves it. "Heh heh. I am looking forward to this. Nothing like a shower to cool me off after a hot day." Orochimaru said as he gets his shower cap upon entering the shower.

--

Back in the basement, Naruto came out of a closet holding Gaara's gourd. He is still having trouble getting the spots he unknowingly made on the floor out. "I think we can 'sand' it out." Naruto said. Unknown to him, he dropped asome grains which landed behind Gaara. Gaara takes it, thinking it was his cloth, and cleans the boot with it. He yelps as he sees that all that was left was some bits of of sand gnawing away at the top.

"Wait a minute, this is MY sand." Gaara said.

Gaara looks at what he is using and realized it is his sand. He got to fix this and fast. Grabbing another boot, Gaara ripped the top off and placed it on the one he ruined. Gaara pounded on it hoping they will stick. Gaara held it up as it looks like it will hold. Too bad the heel fell off.

"Not good!" Gaara groaned. He looks around and spies some glue on a tall shelf nearby, "Ah ha!" Gaara then jumps on the top of the handle of a nearby water value. As he tries to reach for the glue, the handle fell causing the water to increase like mad. The water soon ended up going to the pipes that Sasuke is still working on alarming the boy as a noise was made.

"What the...?" Sasuke asked puzzled wondering what the noise was. Suddenly water came out of the pump like mad causing Sasuke to scream like a girl again as he held onto the pump that is flying him around like mad.

--

Back in the private bathroom, the captain was still taking his bath singing a song to himself while washing. Suddenly the water stopped. "What the...not again!" Orochimaru snapped angrily as he hits the shower thingie.

--

In the basement, Naruto hums while using a machine to clean up the mess. But soon he yelps as the thing ended up going out of control. Sasuke ended up fighting the out of control water pipes that is attacking him. He uses a wrench in an attempt to put the things at bay but the pipes grab them from the boy and hitting Sasuke with it. "Oh man! I hate it when stuff like this happens!" Sasuke screamed as he runs away with the pipes in pursuit. As he does, he rammed into the machine that is out of control as Naruto kept on hold for dear life.

"I think...I got it..." Gaara mumbled as he almost reaching the glue unaware of what's going on.

Suddenly the other two crashed into the wooden shelf resulting in the glue to go falling off. Naruto jumps for the jar just in the nick of time. Naruto held the thing over his head yelling in victory, "All right! Score one for Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Horray!" Gaara and Sasuke cheered.

Gaara didn't cheer for long as his friends crashed into him on the machine causing the glue to get stuck on Naruto’s head. The three cheers as they ride all over the place. And I mean all over. Soon they are going to crash into the pipes that are connected to the pipes upstairs. "Uzemaki, look out!" Gaara screamed in horror.

--

Upstairs, Orochimaru is still trying to figure out why his shower didn't work. Suddenly he hears a crumbling noise under him. "Oh crud..." Orochimaru groaned in realization and horror.

One crash later ands the floor collapses sending the bathtub with a screaming Orochimaru in it to the basement. Once it crashed, the tap of the shower broke off, causing it to roll towards the janitors who find themselves trapped in a bunch of water pipes. Gaara, Sasuke and Naruto look up and saw Orochimaru who opens a string of his shower curtains, smiling dazedly as he stands in his bathtub.

"Oh, Captain Orochimaru, sir!" Gaara said as he, Sasuke and Naruto salute to the captain. Orochimaru gave one stupid smile as he fell to the ground in a dead faint.

--

A while after Orochimaru has recovered, the ticked off captain thrown Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara into the royal laundry room to punish them for what happened. The three crashed right into the wall, with Naruto landing last crushing his two friends in the progress. "You three are the worst janitors in the history of this palace!" Orochimaru yelled furiously as the boys recovered. "You always messed things up. No matter what task I gave you, you always turn it into a disaster."

"Awww, give us a break, Orochimaru." Gaara said as he recovers. "We are just practicing our teamwork so we can be good ninjateers."

"You three?! Ninjateers," Orochimaru chuckles a bit then he laughs and snickers. Finally he laughs like mad as the three boys looked at him puzzled. The captain wipes a tear away as he recovers from the laughing he did, "Oh geez. That is rich."

"Come on! Give us a chance! We work so hard and could prove ourselves! If we do that, can you let us be ninjateers."

"Well there are three things wrong. First off...BOO!" Orochimaru yelled at Sasuke as he points at the momma's boy. Sasuke screams like a girl as he runs to hide like a coward. "You, emo boy, the one with the level 2 curse mark, are a momma's boy!" Turning to Naruto, Orochimaru continues, "Two."

Orochimaru notices that Naruto is stupidly giving a blank look. Rolling his eyes, Orochimaru puts his ear against Naruto's. Sure enough, he hears a busy telephone signal that said, 'We're sorry. The number you've reached has been disconnected permanently'.

"I thought so. You, the nine-tails brat, are an idiotic ding-dong doofus!" Orochimaru snapped at Naruto. Orochimaru then finally turned to Gaara, whom he considered his worst enemy, "And you...well, how can I say this?"

"Too popular? Too brave? Too cool for your school?" Gaara asked with a smile. "I'm too good to be a ninjateer."

Orochimaru gave a bored look before he speaks, "Okay...I'd add two more things with the third thing wrong! First off, you can't be a musketeer because you are the container of the One-Tailed Demon Shukaku and a guy that no villager and family likes cannot be a ninjateer! Second, you are TOO short and a guy who is short can’t be a ninjateer as well! And finally, more importantly..."

"Yeah?"

"I HATE YOU! You are a pesty annoying miserable kid! I can't believe I am stuck in the same parody with you! You are a freak!!"

Sasuke and Naruto gasps in shock at what Orochimaru just told him. Gaara looks stunned as his head hang downward. Even though he doesn't mind Orochimaru's insults before, one of them has finally struck home.

"No matter what, I won't have you idiots as ninjateers no matter what happened!" Orochimaru snapped as he grabs Gaara's lucky ninjateer hat. "So forget having this!" Smirking evilly, Orochimaru crumpled the hat to the point of it being a ball. With a laugh, Orochimaru tossed the now crumpled hat to Gaara as he said, "Have a ball, little brat!" Orochimaru continues laughing as he leaves the room while Gaara sadly puts the 'ball' on his head. The captain slams the door on his way out causing a lot of uniforms to fall over the three boys.

Gaara, Sasuke and Naruto peeked out of the clothes, Kakashi having a shirt hanging over his head. The 'ball' popped open turning into a hat that landed on its respected owner. The three friends sigh sadly. Who are they kidding? Orochimaru is right. They can't be ninjateers and they never will be.

To be continued...
