For the festival, the Jogo da Crianca fairgrounds have been ringed by a modular eight-foot-tall iron-bar fence. Signs all around the vicinity point to the entrance, which is the only large gap in the fence. Because this is Paixao, there is a line to get in, but it moves quickly.

At the front of the line is a small security team; as people enter, they are asked to check their weapons or dangerous items with festival staff. Once unarmed, they are given a receipt to pick up their items on the way out, as well as one complimentary raffle ticket, and are allowed to proceed into the fairgrounds.

Just inside the entrance are two tents, one labeled "SECURITY / LOST AND FOUND," and the other labeled with "FIRST AID" and a large red cross.

Naruto was impatiently rocking back and forth on his heels as he stood in line. Why did his fun have to be delayed like this? For that matter, just why was there a line anyway? Back home you could just walk right in! He really didn't know what this line was about and was unable to see past the people to see what was going on. He'd be patient though! ....Or try to be, at least.

Turning around, he smiled brightly at his companion. To be going to a festival with Uchiha Itachi of all people, who would've known! It was obvious the Jinchuuriki was in high spirits despite the events that had occurred only a day before. There was no point moping about it and he didn't want to worry Itachi. After all, it was tough on him too what with the memory loss and all.

"What should we check out first?" he asked, mind full with thoughts about the free food and games.

Itachi stood behind Naruto, the Uchiha calm and collected for all that his friend seemed impatient. He didn't mind the line, not really. Sure, it kept them from the festival, but what did that matter? They would see everything in good time; there was no rush. Itachi had no idea how long the festival would last, but surely they had enough time to get to everything that they wanted to see, everything that they wanted to do.

The amnesiac offered Naruto a smile as he considered the blonde's question. "You had wanted to get food, right?" he asked. "That might be a good place to start."

After all, that had been the first thing brought up when they had considered going to the festival. And Itachi still didn't seem surprised that Naruto was excited about the thought of free food. Somehow, it seemed fitting.

Naruto considered for a split-second before nodding enthusiastically. "Sure! Food sounds great~" After all he did skip breakfast in the hurry to get here.

Oh and now the line was moving! Finally Naruto was able to look around the man's shoulder who was standing in front of him to see what they were doing up front. To his horror he discovered they were checking for weapons and the people who had some were asked to turn them in. He couldn't turn in his kunai and shurikens! What was a ninja without them? That decided it, he wasn't going to turn in anything. He made sure none of the security people could see him before gently nudging Itachi with his elbow, a mischievous smile plastered on his face. "Wanna see a ninja skill?"

Without even waiting for an answer he brought his hands together and muttered the name of his infamous jutsu. There was a small poof of smoke and where Naruto was previously standing stood a slender girl in a rather skimpy outfit with long blonde hair that was held up in pigtails.

It had been a while since he had used that jutsu and now was a good opportunity as any to show it off again. He was about to say something to Itachi but it was their turn so he simply winked at the Uchiha before fixing his attention back to the staff. He told them he had no weapons on him with a cutesy smile. They bought it and he was through along with a raffle ticket.

He waited for Itachi on the other side of the entrance, still in the disguise of a girl. He'd have to find a spot to release the jutsu without being seen somewhere.

Itachi seemed surprised to see Naruto transform into a girl. He hadn't thought anyone capable of such things. Then again, the blond seemed to be full of surprises. He could do nothing but offer a smile to Naruto in response before he went through security.

They were asking for weapons it seemed, and Itachi was willing to assure them that he carried none. He could prove it, too, for he had left the very pouches Naruto had wanted to hide back in the hotel room. The Uchiha saw no reason to carry what he didn't know how to use. It was just extra weight, and he didn't really want to have it getting in the way.

Once through the entrance, Itachi caught up with Naruto. "I wonder why they don't want anyone to have weapons," he commented, voice soft so as not to draw attention. "It seems very paranoid for a festival."

Naruto could only agree with the Uchiha and nodded to show so. Even without weapons lots of individuals could still be quite destructive, himself included. He just preferred keeping them on him, they were important ninja tools. He'd hate to think what would happen if they ran into Sasuke again or worse....an Akatsuki member or something.

Those were thoughts he definitely did not want to dwell on, it would dampen his spirits and he was here to have some fun, damnit! So without further ado he just grinned at Itachi and started bouncing off to where the smell of food came from but not before ducking behind a tent and lifting his jutsu. He'd be on guard but that didn't mean he couldn't go enjoy himself.

Itachi looked around, trying to familiarize himself with the set-up of the festival. It wouldn't hurt to know where he was at all times. He shook his head, amused as Naruto bounced off for the food stands. Well, he did mention that he wanted ramen last night. Maybe they'd be lucky enough to find a ramen stand here?

"Naruto? Do you think we'll run into Sasuke while we're here?" he asked as he kept step with the blond shinobi. If there was such a possibility, he would want to be on his guard. After all, the boy seemed rather eager to put a knife through his throat, something Itachi wasn't at all fond of.
