Here's an odd Team Yondaime fanfic I thought of when travelling on an airplane to keep me amused. It was meant to be more of a one shot, but too many ideas came into my head, so it turned into a bit of a longer fanfic. There aren't enough fanfics for Team Yondaime, especially ones that aren't one-shots, so here's one more to add to the collection! (Or not…) Well, hope you enjoy the oddness.

Upon a sunny day in Konoha, Konoha's Yellow Flash, or also known as Yondaime which he will be referred as in this story, had called upon his three students to meet him at their training spot as he had something interesting to tell them. Rin stood there, cheerful smiling as she awaited the news. Kakashi stared blankly at the ground, scraping some dirt with his sandal. Obito was running towards his team, late as usual with an excuse ready to give, but their sensei held up his hand to silence the young Uchiha when he began to speak.
"Alright team, the reason I called you guys here is because Konoha is holding its very first pet show tomorrow for young ninja like yourself. I have decided to enter all three of you into it." Yondaime told his team, grinning.
"What?!" Obito cried, quite dumbfounded with what he had just heard. "We have pet shows in our village?"
"A pet show? How wonderful!" Rin exclaimed, clearly excited about this as she clasped her hands together.
Kakashi just stood there silently, not saying a word as Yondaime continued.
"You can each bring one pet to be registered into the pet show. Throughout the day, you will demonstrate to other contestants and judges on what your pet can do. There'll be different categories, like obedience, best groomed pet, racing, best tricks, and so on. For each category you win in, you will get a prize and a week off from missions! Sound interesting yet?"
"Oh yes! It definitely sounds like a lot of fun." Rin chimed.
"Whatever," Kakashi replied. "I'm not complaining."
"A week off sounds great, sensei! But…" Obito trailed off.
"What's the problem, Obito?" Yondaime asked. "Don't you have a pet?"
"Of course I do! And I'm going to win!" Obito recovered, quickly erasing all signs of worry from his face.
"Alright then. Great!" Yondaime smiled. "We'll meet back here tomorrow morning at 10:00 with our pets. See you then!"
With that said, Yondaime poofed away, leaving his three students standing there.
Obito turned to face his two team-mates. "Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to go teach my pet some new tricks now, not that my pet isn't brilliant enough already, but I do want to make sure that I win that week off!" Obito announced, grinning, but also sweating a bit. "Well, see you guys tomorrow!" He cried as he took off at full speed towards his home.
"That boasting idiot, biting off more than he can chew. He probably doesn't even own a decent pet." Kakashi muttered.
"Knowing Obito, I'm sure he'll have something interesting for us to see tomorrow." Rin chuckled as they both began making their way to their homes.
Obito, still running back to his home, was in a panic. "Oh man, what'll I do? I was an idiot back there, bragging about a pet when I don't even have one!"
Panting, Obito stopped running to catch his breath as he reached the footbridge. He leaned over the railing, staring into the water where many fish swam around below.
"It's not as if I can ask my parents to buy me a pet tonight. And even if they did, it's not like the pet would be able to do any cool tricks by tomorrow." Obito sighed, shaking his head. "But I've got to get something!"
He continued to stare into the water for a long time, hoping an idea would come to him any time soon before the sun would finish setting.
"Hey! I've got a great idea!" Obito cried, hastily jumping from his leaning position on the bridge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Yondaime, Kakashi, and Rin were waiting at the training spot with their pets. And yes, even Yondaime had brought a pet as well.
"He's late again, sensei." Kakashi growled impatiently.
"Don't worry. He'll be here eventually." Yondaime said in his carefree mood. "Speak of the devil, here he comes now!"
And surely enough, Obito was bounding towards them, panting, but grinning as he dragged something on a leash behind him.
"Glad you could make it, Obito!" Yondaime grinned as Obito stopped in front of him. "This here is my frog, 'Tama'."
Yondaime held up a red frog that was about the size of 'Gamakichi'(1) for Obito to see. It croaked loudly and caught a passing-by fly with its tongue.
"And this here is Taro!" Rin said to Obito, smiling as she held up a small cage where a brown hamster poked its small head out of the wood shavings to get a better look at Obito. "Isn't he cute?"
"Yeah, he's cute alright." Obito commented. "In a smelly rodent-like way." He added under his breath, wrinkling his nose at the smell of the cage.
"Have you seen Kakashi's pet yet? It's really cute!" Rin told Obito, pointing to Kakashi's pet.
"What the hell is that thing you've got there?" Obito cried, pointing at the pet tucked under Kakashi's arm.
"It's a dog, obviously." Kakashi replied to state the obvious.
Obito stared at small orange and white shiba-inu (2) as it stared back at him. The little dog had black beady eyes, a mouth full of small, sharp, pointy teeth with saliva continuously dripping out.
"Has that thing had its rabies shots yet?" Obito asked, frowning at the drooling dog.
"For you information, yes he has." Kakashi replied, somewhat irritated by the silly question. "It's just a phase he's going through. He'll be out of it within a few weeks."
"Yeah, sure. What's that mutt's name anyways?"
"His name is 'Jin-bei'."
" 'Jin-bei'? What kind of a stupid name is that?" Obito frowned.
"And might I ask what "brilliant" name you gave to your so-called "pet" you have there on that leash?" Kakashi challenged, pointing down at Obito's "pet".
Yondaime and Rin looked down as well to see a fish tied to the leash.
"Oh! His name is 'Gin'(3), which suits him perfectly don't you think?" Obito grinned. "Isn't he the best pet ever?"
Yondaime, Kakashi, and Rin stared at 'Gin' the fish sceptically as it lay there, not moving and mouth gaping open. A pregnant silence filled the air as Yondaime and Rin tried to find something to say to Obito.
"You took a fish out of the water and tied a leash to it…" Kakashi said, breaking the momentary silence. "And just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber."
"Hey, shut up! You're just jealous!" Obito shot back.
"Oh yeah. I'm jealous alright," Kakashi replied sarcastically. "I've always wanted an aquatic meal tied to a leash for a pet."
"Well, you'll definitely be jealous once I show you what he can do!" Obito announced, turning to look down at his fish. "Gin, do a back flip!"
Obito stood there, finger pointing in command. But the fish just lay there.
"Wow, I smell talent here." Kakashi said in sarcasm once again.
"I smell something rotting." Yondaime stated.
Obito lightly tugged the leash and sent the fish flipping into the air. "There! You see? He did it! It just takes a little time for him to respond, that's all!"
"It didn't flip Obito, you just moved the leash!" Rin contradicted.
"Face it, Obito. Your pet sucks."
"Oh yeah? And what can that slobber bag of yours that you call a dog do?" Obito challenged.
"You want to see? I'll show you then." Kakashi replied. He looked down at his dog and commanded, "Jin-bei, speak!"
The dog under Kakashi's arm that had been quiet during the whole time suddenly gave off two sharp barks, sending saliva flying from his mouth into Obito's face. Obito growled as he wiped off the dog slobber with his coat sleeve.
"Ok, so your dog can drool a waterfall and spit a mile, big deal! At least Gin is cute. Your dog is fuc-" Obito began but was cut off by Yondaime.
"Watch your language, Obito!" Yondaime warned, knowing what naughty word Obito was about to use.
"…At least Gin is cute. Your dog is real fugly! Now let's go sign up our pets!" Obito said, quickly changing the subject.
"Obito, I can't sign up that fish for the pet show." Yondaime sighed, shaking his head.
"Why not? What's wrong with Gin?" Obito cried, getting angry.
"Obito, your fish is dead!" Rin cried exasperatedly. "You weren't supposed to take it out of the water! You can't sign up dead animals for a pet show!"
Obito stared at Rin for a moment and then turned to stare down at Gin.
"I'll be right back!" Obito shouted as he dropped the leash holding the fish and took off.
Yondaime chuckled, "Man, that boy is sure a riot!"
"No, he's an idiot." Kakashi corrected as he let his now frantically barking dog, Jin-bei, down on the ground to chew on Obito's abandoned pet.
To be continued...
So what did you guys think of that? All I can say that is boredom brings insanity. Please give me some reviews. It'll make my day!
Notes:
(1) Gamakichi is the small orange frog that Naruto keeps unintentionally summoning, just in case anyone's forgotten or doesn't know.
(2) A Shiba-inu is a small breed of dog that's popular and well known in Japan and well-known outside of Japan as well. Short, small build, pointy ears, curly tail. Do a google image search if you want an image of what it looks like.
(3)'Gin' is Japanese for 'silver', suiting a name for a fish rather well, or so Obito thinks.
Another note: 'Jin-bei' is not a Japanese name, but it really doesn't matter, does it? Not all of the pet names will be Japanese in this story. Some of them have to be goofy foreign names to make this amusing, right?
