Naruto and I were walking around the academy looking for someone we can prank, we also ditched class for this. When we passed by Iruka-sensei's class, he was teaching and didn't notice we were gone, so we took this chance to throw some erasers at him. We started running, I turned back to see Iruka-sensei having a vein popping in his head. We heard him yelled, "Naruto! Shitamo!" We both jumped out a window falling down some bushes, knowing we would be chased by ninjas. We nodded at each other and ran in different directions, knowing it would be easier to be caught one at a time than just be caught at the same time. I ran towards Ichiraku, hoping Ayame and Teuchi would let me hide there again. When I got there, Ayame know what was going on and she nodded.

"Thank you, Ayame!" I said. "What would I ever do without you!"

"You'd get caught." said Ayame.

I laughed sheepishly, rubbing the back of my head, and went where Teuchi cooks and hid under the counter. I heard some ninjas running inside Ichiraku, I knew they would know I would hide here so I asked Teuchi if I could, like, make a door to get inside the counter and he said yes so I would hide in there when I get in trouble. The counter was wider than it looks, I could like fit a whole bed in there. I would just lay down inside the counter and sleep until Ichiraku closes or when I really need to go and eat.

After a while, I heard Naruto shouting.

"Let go of me, Iruka-sensei!" he said.

"No way, Naruto." said Iruka-sensei. "Not until you clean the Hokage faces and clean the erasers."

"I didn't do anything!" said Naruto.

"How do you explain your artwork at the Hokage faces?" asked Iruka-sensei.

"I didn't do it!" Naruto lied.

"Liar!" said Iruka-sensei. "Did Shitamo help you with your artwork?"

"No." Naruto lied, hoping Iruka-sensei would believe him on that one.

"Well, you're gonna clean the Hokage faces by yourself." said Iruka-sensei.

I got out of my hiding spot and walked up to Iruka-sensei.

"I helped him, Iruka-sensei." I said.

"Why would you two do that?" asked Iruka-sensei.

"I don't know." I answered.

"You know, your father will about this right?" asked Iruka-sensei.

"I don't care." I said. 'He doesn't punish me or anything like that when I get in trouble, he's actually proud of me and so is my mother. They say I'm actually gonna become a splendid ninja, not being found by higher ranked ninjas. They think I'm gonna make a great heiress to the clan.'

Iruka-sensei sighed. "Why do you guys do it?"

"Well, for me, my parents actually encourage me to do it." I said. "And I have no insparation on being a ninja, I'm only in the academy cause it's for a good cause for the Tsuchigumo clan."

"You're doing this because your parents encourage you to and you don't really have any interest on being a ninja?" asked Iruka-sensei.

"I'm sorry, Iruka-sensei." I said, feeling bad I always make him mad and I faced the floor.

"Don't be, Shitoma." said Iruka-sensei. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I looked up to see Iruka-sensei. "It's not your fault. I'll be your inspiration. If you could've told me sooner, I bet you could've been Jonin level by now."

"Really?" I asked.

"Really." said Iruka-sensei. "Well, for now, you and Naruto have to clean the Hokage faces."

"Alright!" I said, running towards the Hokage faces with Iruka-sensei and Naruto trailing behind me. "I bet I can beat you, Iruka-sensei, Naruto!"

"Oh no you don't" said Iruka-sensei, and Naruto said, "Oh, yeah?" They both started to run faster.

We all were laughing while running to the Hokage faces.
