I read so much darn fanfiction that I figured I'd try my own hand at it. I like to think of myself as a writer, so I'm willing to accept reasonable criticism. Mind you, this is all just coming from the top of my head.

I do not own Naruto or any of its original ideas and/or characters. All other things, intended or unintended, I do own.

"Sunuva, damn you Konohamaru ninja corps!", Naruto screamed out after waking up inside the monkey cages of the Konoha Zoo. Naruto shoved off the monkey trying to groom him, while he picked up his futon and walked over to the bars to yell for someone to get him out. He was pissed as he carried/dragged his futon down the street back to his apartment. This prank just seemed low, even though it didn't break any of the rules he himself had listed for their prank war. The Zoo itself would have been bad enough, but to lock him in the monkey cage had seemed an injustice. Naruto stopped walking and paled at the fact that they could have locked him in the big cat cage instead, even if it could have broken one of the rules. Hearing sniggering, Naruto looked around to see some of the vendors who were starting to prepare for the day getting a laugh out of him dragging his futon through the street in his hair-covered penguin pajamas. Naruto blushed, hitched up his futon, and started to run home before more people saw him. Oh , Konowas gonna get his. Naruto may have underestimated them before now, and that was a mistake, but he was going to make them learn it was bad for them to be taken seriously. But before that he had a team meeting to attend. After he showered of course.

"Naruto," Sakura started, seeing Naruto arrive. "I heard you were dragging your futon through the streets this morning co-" It was at that point that the wind shifted and Sakura and Sasuke were placed downwind of Naruto.

Sakura gagged and Sasuke choked on the air. "D-Dobe, what did you do!" Sasuke hacked out before dashing away from Naruto, with Sakura behind him taking large gulps of air.

"It's not my fault I smell like this! Konohamaru and his friends dumped me in the monkey cage at the Zoo! But I'm gonna get them back! They'll rue this day!" Naruto sweared taking a step towards them.

"We don't care! Just stay over there!" Sakura shouted.

Twenty minutes later Kakashi had arrived to have Sakura demand he tell Naruto he wasn't allowed to come on the mission until he smelled better even as Naruto swore he had already taken a shower.

"She does have a point Naruto, if we have to find an animal today it'll smell you coming before we even see it, nevermind our own preferences. Now if you don't go take a long bath with a lot of soap and hot water, I'll ask you how three Academy students managed to get into your room and move you across town without you noticing." Kakashi returned to his book while Naruto paled and Sasuke snorted. Naruto ran swearing revenge for the second time that day.

At the Ninja Academy during recess . . .

"I can't believe he doesn't lock his windows." Moegi giggled, catching the ball and tossing it to Udon.

"Last night's operation could have been ruined if he hadn't though," Udon sniffed, tossing the ball to Konohamaru.

"Nahh, we still would have found a way in, but I bet Naruto-niisan won't look down on us anymore after that."

"Mnhmn, now maybe he'll take this prank war more seriously."

"Speaking of, what do you think he'll do to retaliate?"

"Dunno, Niisan's unpredictable, make sure you watch out when you go home."

"Hey, what are we going to do for our next prank? We can't let up after this."

"She's right, if we do, the leader will never treat us as equals."

"Hmm, well I don't think we should mess with his food yet. We should stay away from his house too so he can get a false sense of security. I think we should go for a door trap, though I'm not sure what kind yet. What do you think Udon?"

"That should be good. I think an uncomfortable type or a scary type would be good. Moegi?"

"Works for me, now where are going to pull this?"

"How about . . . "

Team 7 on their D-ranked mission

Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke looked at Naruto warily as he stared at a pack of flash bombs and a burlap sack with a disturbing smile on his face. Sakura put a hand on Naruto's shoulder and asked "Are you feeling okay?" Naruto turned around slowly with his smile turning into a full on grin as faced Sakura. He stared at her, with that same grin on his face and chuckled. A chuckle that made Sakura backpeddle to Sasuke and Kakashi with a horrified look on her face that soon spread to her other team members. The laugh didn't stop there though. Naruto's laugh escalated from demonic chuckle to maniacal cackle and then to a full on villainous belly laugh, arms outstretched behind his back and everything as he saw more items on the walls of Ninja Depot. Several people who had seen or heard dashed out of the store before Naruto's laugh had died down.

Naruto walked over to Kakashi, who had actually lost his place in the little orange book during Naruto's laugh, and tilted his head with more purpose then Kakashi had seen in some Anbu and said "Kakashi-sensei, I need to take care of some things responsible for my ordeal this morning. Will you need me for the rest of the mission?"

"Ermmm, no."

"Thank you," Naruto began to head down the aisle collecting items when he turned around one last time to adress his teammates, "If you want to see the results go to the event at the corner of Tsukai and Waraiat 9 o'clock AM tomorrow." Naruto started turning again before he stopped and added "If any of you speak of this, you'll get the same." Sakura gulped while Sasuke paled and Kakashi just sighed.

At the beginning it came from the top of my head but now at the end of this I see a future. I gotta admit I'm kinda lazy and this was just a whim but now I'm somewhat interested in where this could go. If you read this I hope you have the time to drop in a review, even though I'm not expecting much since even I rarely leave reviews unless I have a lot of time or I really want to see something continued. This was not spell checked or grammar checked because all I have is wordpad.
