The Kazekage, Bunny Youkai, and Avenger

Three lone figures walked through the gates to Konohagakure. Two boys and a girl. The taller of the two boys turned to the girl and raised one purple-painted eyebrow. She slowed, allowing the shorted redheaded male to get ahead of them. "I'm not complaining or anything, but where did you-know-who get to?" The boy whispered quietly.

Before the blonde could respond, the redhead spoke up. "She said she had business to take care of," he said in a monotonous tone, startling the other two. "Next time, just ask me, Kankuro." Kankuro sweatdropped. "Yeah, sorry, Gaara." Gaara didn't respond, but the two followed him toward the Hokage's tower.

Meanwhile, at Team 7's training grounds, two of the trio fought relentlessly. They finally decided to take a break after hours of training hard. Naruto collapsed on the ground hard with a sigh, while Sasuke gracefully jumped into the tree above the blonde. "Why doesn't Sakura have to train today?" Naruto whined. Sasuke sighed and leaned against the trunk of the tree, letting one leg hang lazily over the side.

"She talked Kakashi into it. That girl can persuade anyone to do almost anything," Sasuke said, closing his eyes. "She's got a date with Lee. Besides, it'll be a few more hours before Kakashi gets here anyways.

"What about me?" Came the familiar voice of their team leader. Naruto jumped up and started yelling; while Sasuke just cracked one eye open. "Where in the world have you been?" Naruto was hollering. The jonin rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled nervously. "Well, you see," he started slowly, "On my way here, I saw this old woman and her kitty was in a tree, so after saving her uh…Mr. Snufflepoppers, she invited me over for tea, and it would've been rude to turn her down, so I stayed for awhile." Naruto looked thoughtful for a moment. "I guess that makes sense," he mused.

Sasuke scoffed and casually smirked. "Then why is your vest backwards, mask crooked, and you have a broken rubber band with brown hair in your white hair?" The onyx-eyed bishie inquired. Kakashi visibly blushed and swallowed hard. "Maybe I should tell the Dobe," he smirked, jumping off the branch and landing next to Naruto. Before the copy-nin could protest, he and Sasuke both tensed.

"Get down, Dobe!" Sasuke said pushing Naruto out of the way, barely having time to jump out of the way as a barrage of speedy kunai hit the tree. Kakashi drew a kunai of his own and pulled up his hitai-ate to reveal his Sharingan.

Sasuke glanced at the tree and put up a hand to stop his sensei. Kakashi looked at him with mild confusion. "No one in Konohagakure throws like that," he stated. Pointing to the tree, Sasuke said, "We're not in any danger now."

The kunai in the tree had made a perfect picture of an anime bunny with grinning, upside-down U eyes and a 'V for victory' hand sign. Sasuke smiled slightly(creeping out Naruto and Kakashi) and stepped to his left, causing th girl behind him, who almost hugged the Uchiha, to stumble and almost fall.


Saa, this plot bunny was a bugger. I've had this idea for a while, but I couldn't think of a good main plot, but here we go!
