Halloween in the Hidden Leaf Village was as boring as watching paint dry. Ever since the Nine-tailed Fox almost destroyed the village, mostly everyone was afraid to dress up in cool costumes. But on this Halloween, a year before the Chunin Exam, everything changed when a new demon walked into the village.
But our story starts small in a hotel where the Sand Siblings stayed for vacation. A certain red-head named Gaara looked out at the full moon with interest. He had never celebrated Halloween before, but was eager to take just one day of rest. Never in his whole life had he decided to sleep for the whole night. He thought about it more and more, and finally, he started to sleep. As he started to sleep, he began transforming and growing into a gigantic tanuki. The tanuki opened its yellow eyes that looked exactly like the full moon itself.
"YEAH!!!! Finally that brat falls asleep," the tanuki yelled excitedly, "Look out Leaf Village, Shukaku the Sand Spirit is here!" Then he noticed something. The villagers didn't come out to at least attack him.
"What the heck?! I thought this was Halloween!" Shukaku complained, "You know, getting candy, doing pranks, scaring humans until they wet themselves?" Suddenly, small giggles were heard. Young, beautiful women dressed up as nurses, devils, angels, and witches talked about girl things. Shukaku growled playfully at the women. He might be a demon, but he was still a pervert.
"Hey ladies, come here often?" Shukaku looked down at the ladies. Most of them walked off. One stepped on Shukaku's foot on purpose. Shukaku wanted to do something infamous on Halloween. Then he saw it. The most delicious thing in the world to him, sake! Oh, how he loved sake so much. Every time he drank it, he grew one foot taller. Too bad for the village that they had an ultimate supply of sake for Shukaku to steal. By the time it was near Eleven O' Clock, villagers noticed an 100 foot tall drunk Tanuki sitting near the Leaf Village center.
"About *hic* time the villagers show up..." Shukaku smirked as he drank his 233rd bottle. Someone dressed up as a ghost came next to Shukaku.
"Who are you, believe it!" The ghost asked pointing.
"I'm *hic* the One-Tailed Biju, Shukaku. What about you?"
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki as a Ghost Hokage!" Naruto explained, "What are you waiting for? This is Halloween! A time for scaring, pranks, and candy, believe it!"
"Someone *hic* agrees with me!" Shukaku was astounded to meet someone who was an idiot as he was.
"You are awesome!" Naruto gave Shukaku a thumbs-up, "Someone that understands me. Great! Anyway, see that angel over there?"
"The one with pink hair?"
"Yeah, that one. She's a crush that I have named Sakura. I want to spend Halloween together, but she's spending it with that vampire, Sasuke-Teme!"
"Oh yeah. A *hic* rival I can totally relate to.." Shukaku sneered, thinking about his rival, the Kyuubi.
"So you can help out?" Naruto asked. Shukaku smirked evilly.
"Yes...if you *hic* give me half of your candy." Naruto agreed to the tanuki's proposal. They followed Sasuke as he went from house to house collecting candy.
"Naruto and whoever you are, what are you doing?" Someone asked in gangster clothing and a dog on his head.
"Hey Kiba, what are YOU supposed to be?" Naruto scoffed.
"Bow Wow. A tanuki and a ghost? How original!" Kiba said with sarcasm.
"Shut up, believe it! I'm going to beat Sasuke-Teme once and for all!" Naruto ran past Kiba and headed in Sasuke's direction. But he was blocked by some strange sand.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Naruto *hic* we had a deal. I'LL handle this one." Shukaku cracked his knuckles. He lifted up his claw as sand came in every direction towards Sasuke. Sasuke, who had a large stash of candy, screamed as the sand almost ripped his arm off. He ran away, leaving blood stains and candy. Shukaku then lent a claw to Naruto.
"Pay up!" Shukaku proudly said. Naruto was speechless, but he gave half his candy to the Tanuki.
"Who is he?" Kiba whispered to Naruto. Naruto shurgged.
"I dunno, but this guy is cool, believe it!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly. Kiba slapped his forehead. He was surrounded by idiots.
"Now if you *hic* excuse me boys, I have women to meet, blood to shed, sake to drink, and people & candy to eat." Shukaku ran away. Kiba sighed in agony. Naruto was confused as a dumb guy in a smart people convention.
