Chapter #3Team Seven and the Magic Show. by: Ëtalfni   No ninja ever believed in magic. From the point they were trained, they were taught the basics of every single jutsu. The strange and amazing things ninjas could do made logical sense in every way. Anything a ninja did could be explained through hard science. So you could imagine Sakura's reaction to their latest mission. A protection mission for a magician was the last thing Sakura wanted to do. She being an avid bookworm, especially for the scientific, made her feel that anything anyone claimed to be "magic" was nothing more than lies.
Naruto on the other hand was excited to see a magic show, claiming to have stayed up all night learning how to do simple tricks to impress the magician. The magician apparently was very popular in other countries and had come to the Land of Fire to 'entertain the masses'. He sounded like an arrogant jerk to Sakura.
"Oh man, oh man!" yelled Naruto, "Where is he? I can't wait to meet him!"
"You're starting to sound like Sakura, you idiot..." muttered Sasuke. Sakura blushed.
Naruto retorted. "Oh shut up bastard! I've been waiting all week for this! Sanja the Great is supposed to be one of the coolest magicians ever!"
"And the most popular." spoke Kakashi, "Which is why you should remember why it is we're needed Naruto. There's no telling how a celebrity will fare in a new crowd of people, there may very well be a riot for all we know. Our job is to protect Sanja and make sure no harm comes to him."
Naruto rolled his eyes and began to think of a way to get the magician's autograph without Kakashi noticing. The sensei sighed and they continued down the road. When they finally reached the meeting place for the magician there was no one to be seen. Naruto began to look around frantically.
"Do you guys see him anywhere!? Maybe we're in the wrong spot! Are you sure this is where we were supposed to meet Kakashi-sensei?! I don't see anyone anywhere!"
"Excuse me young man..." said an old lady who had come up to the four ninjas.
"Huh? What is it, granny?" replied Naruto.
"Would you happen to have a coin I can borrow?"
"Yea sure, here you go." he flicked a coin into the woman's hand. "By the way have you seen a magician around here? He's called Sanja the Great."
"Why yes I have...you see he..." the old lady torn her cloak off, revealing a handsome looking man with a Spanish accent beneath, "...is me! Sanja the Great at your service."
He bowed while Naruto's mouth gaped open before clapping like an idiot. Sanja held the coin out in front of the team before clapping his hands together. He showed both of his hands, the coin seemed to have vanished. He then reached over to Naruto's ear and pulled out the very same coin. Naruto applauded, Sakura rolled her eyes, Sasuke just shrugged.
"How do you do Mr. Sanja." said Kakashi, "We are Team Seven and we'll be your bodyguards for your trip here in Konoha."
"Ah, and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance Kakashi." said Sanja, taking Kakashi by surprise considering he had not told the magician his name.
"And you must be..." said Sanja, tossing the coin back to Naruto, "Naruto, correct?"
"Yea! How did you know that?" screamed Naruto as he caught the coin.
Sanja laughed and turned to Sasuke. "That one with the scowl is Sasuke, no?"
Sasuke grunted. Sanja moved over to Sakura and grabbed her hand before kissing it. "And this lovely lady is Sakura."
Sakura quickly pulled her hand away from him before wiping it on his dress in disgust. Sanja frowned and asked.
"You do not like me, Sakura?"
"No offense Mister Sanja, I'm sure you're a nice person and all. I just don't believe in magic is all."
Sanja shook his head.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. It pains my heart when young folk say that. But just watch one of my performances my dear Sakura. You'll believe in time...Now then, shall I show you where you'll be staying?"
He lead them to the concert hall where his shows would be held and gave each of them their own personal room backstage. "Perhaps this won't be such a bad week after all." said Sakura to herself as she relaxed in her large queen sized bed.
