Isn't Stupidity Contagious? (Sequel to Stupidity at its Best) Ch 1

*tah-dah!* It's me again! I'm so happy! I got my fifty+ reviews and I finished Stupidity at its Best, thank you to everyone who read, reviewed, and bugged me to update. I love you all *youthful sob* Now I promise that this part of the Stupidity series will be longer than the last one… ." It was a mere thirteen chapters. This one'll last a lot longer seeing as I don't really know where I want to go with this. ^^" Don't worry! I'll figure it out soon! My beta is being amazing, as usual. If you want to thank someone, thank her for making sure that my writings are decent. I LOVE YOU KIT!

Likes to Smile: ^^ Thank you so much! It's reviews like yours that keep me going! Thanks for the favorite as well.

SnowsShadow: *le gasp* And he's your icon! XD Oh well, he's not too hurt.

Sasori: *sniffle*

Angel:… O-O' Moving on~ I do too. *drool* I love Kisame.*sob, sob, sob* I can't believe you'd do that for my fanfiction! I had no idea people liked it that much!

tomato sauce: It's fine! Lazy is amazing. I am very lazy. Thanks, I had that idea for that scene for a long time but just didn't write it down. Dammit, PLEASE tell me if she starts acting like a Sue! And don't worry, Kumori sings like a dying moose trying to get some before it dies.

Kumori: HEY!
Angel: It's true. Thanks I'm glad you like it! I knew the training would have to take a while and she's still not going to be done when she gets to Konoha. Please keep reviewing! :D

Wolfsredfalcon: :D You'll find out in just a few more seconds! I thought it was cute…like Kisame! I've had that idea for a while ^^" BAD KISU! *punts*

Likes to Smile: ^^" Yeah, it really bugs me when people go for like three months without updating D: Promise I won't do that without reason. Thanks~ I'm on my way back as I write this so I'll be back home when you read this! Most people ignore Sasori-san's existence completely and the ghost thing was just the cherry on top. That's a good idea! Mind if I steal it…? .

theoretical indecisive-ness: BOOM! Kumori goes flying everywhere and I have to go on the hunt for a new OC…dammit. It's fine! I was a little worried (I always am when someone reviews one chapter than says nothing for months at a time) but now you're back, right? Thanks! Thanks to .Girl and Envy 192 for the favorites! Haniel Hatake and AnonymoustheFirst both put me as their favorite author, I'm shocked and awed that you love my work that much! THANK YOUZ~

HEEEEEEEEERE WE GO~ *puts on a super hero cape* THE NEXT CHAPTER! BWAHAHAHAHA! *evil music plays*

"Dismissed," Pein says after briefing me about my mission. It had taken a long time to get a solid plan and a reason why I wasn't in the Akatsuki's base any more that was believable. I nod and back out of the room before turning and running down the hall. I skid to a stop in front of my room and run inside.

"I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" I mumble throwing my stuff into my bag. I tie my hitai-ate on and slip the kunai holder around my leg. Sighing, I slip my medic pack-skirt-thing and weapons' pouch on. "Where'd Kisu go…?" The clay owl is pecking at my window, obviously wanting out.

"Knock, knock," Kakuzu says standing in my doorway. "You're leaving already?"

"Yeah," I say with a grin. "Now you're not going to have to kick my a$$ every day in training,"

"Mmm," He says looking slightly bored. "If you bring back the Kyuubi that'd be even better than coming back alive. Or that Asuma guy. He's got a huge bounty on him,"

"Glad you're so concerned with my safety," I grumble as Kisu dive bombs him. He swats the bird away with one hand.

"Yep," He says with a small nod. "See ya in a couple months,"

"Love you too," I grin and pull my bag on. "Wish me luck! If I mess up too bad the Akatsuki will all be killed!" He sweatdrops as I leave, turning to give him a thumbs up. "The fate of you guys rests on me!"

"We're doomed," He says going back to his room grumpily. I continue my quest for the front of the hideout, Kisu fluttering after me. I skid to a stop and he whacks into the back of my head.

"Go say good bye to everyone for me?" I beg pulling my clasped hands up to my chin. "I really have to get going, Konoha's a long way away and I'm probably going to get lost," He seems to nod slightly and pecks my forehead before flying off. "D**n bird," I grumble rubbing the now-sore spot on my forehead. "He's been spending way too much time with Itachi-san,"

I jump out of the base and onto the branches of the trees that surround it. The wind whips through my hair and I smile a little at how much I've improved. Yeah I still have a long way to go before I'm even close to the rank that Leader-sama wants me to be at but still! I'M A NINJA! Time passes quickly and I'm exhausted by the time I reach Konohagakure.

"CIVILIZATION!" I fall forward so my head is just barely inside the village gate. "Ha-ha-ha! I'm alive!" I start laughing into the ground, my voice muffled by the dirt. "Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive," I giggle. Two hands go under my armpits and pull me to my feet. My head is gently pushed back so the person holding me can see my face.

"Getsu Nariko?" I look up to see a man with silver hair and a mask over the lower half of his face. I shake my head and open my mouth to respond.

"KAKASHI-SENSEI!" That's not my voice… "KAKASHI-SENSEI!" My mouth is closed this time so it can't be my voice. He groans a little and sets me down.

"What is it Naruto?" He asks crossing his arms in a lazy gesture. The blond boy, the Kyuubi container I realize, skids to a stop and opens his mouth to start ranting but 'huh?'s when he sees me. A huge grin spreads a cross his face.

"NARIKO!" He says tackling me in a hug. "I knew you were okay! I told everyone that you were going to escape those b*****d Akatsuki and come back to Konoha! None of 'em believed me! C'mon!" He pulls me to my feet and starts dragging me off. "NARIKO'S ALIVE!" He yells gleefully.

"I'm-" I try to say but soon a group surrounds us. Naruto and I are in the middle. Kakashi parts the group, throws me over his shoulder, and jumps toward the huge tower.

"We need to see the Hokage, this is urgent," He says to the woman at the door, who nods and goes inside.

"You may come in," She says beckoning us into the room. He puts me down and I wobble inside, almost falling over again.

"Getsu Nariko?" The woman inside asks standing up in surprise.

"No," I grumble rubbing my pounding forehead. "I'm not Nariko," I push my glasses up and look to meet her gaze. "My name is Mitsukai Kumori; I was captured by the Akatsuki because of how I looked like Getsu-san. I guess…I got hit over the head before they found me so I don't remember anything. She is dead. They killed her before I came into their hands. They were going to use me as a maid or a ninja or something. My usefulness ran out fast and they were about to kill me. It's dumb luck that I'm alive,"

"Oh," The woman says setting her jaw. Emotion is raw on her face for a split second but she makes her face bland once again. "Why did you come here?"

"Please ma'am," I say bowing, a small sob rattling through my chest. "Let me stay here! I'm begging you. I have no place to go! I came to the Akatsuki with amnesia so I don't know what village I come from." I look up and am happy to find that tears are running down my face. "Please, I won't be any trouble. I'll even work as a ninja here! I can help the village! I promise I won't be any trouble," She puts a hand on her forehead and sighs a little.

"Alright," She says, still a little shaken from my news. "You can become a villager here," I smile a little, brushing the tears away. "But you'll be taken to Ibiki for interrogation. Once you're clear, I'll assign…Kuroame Arashi to you. She'll watch over you and stuff… I'll send word for her."
