Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Duh. Unless I AM SECRETLY KISHIMOTO and that why my engrish so baad. No offense Kishimoto. If that's your name...I can't remember.


Naruto was wandering through the village bored out of his mind.They had gotten sasuke back in time, but just barely and Orochimaru had hidden away somewhere, biding his time to come forth again.All in all it was very peaceful. Peaceful, and BORING!

Naruto growled, bored out his mind. Sasuke was training with Kakashi-sensei and Anko-san to learn how to block and control that damn cursed seal of his. And so Naruto had nothing to do, at least, not until his next mission came.

Naruto blinked in the middle of his musing, seeing a strange sight. It looked like Ebisu and Shino…talking. Okay maybe it wouldn't be THAT weird except for the fact that ebisu and shino seemed to be having quite the engrossing conversation. Naruto put his head to the side, he had never noticed it before but…They had the same type of glasses. Shino and Ebisu that is. Enisu said something and made a farewell motion, Shino nodded and started to walk towards Naruto. Naruto took this cue and approached Shino. "Hey Shino-kun!"

Naruto had found shino to be quite the good friend during Sasukes absence. He was patient and would listen, as long as you did spout any self-pity crap. Once you started to do that shino would interrupt you sharply and proceed to tongue-lash you into silence. That would be about the only time he would talk a lot.

Shino blinked and looked up, "Oh, hey Naruto."

Naruto beamed at Shino, Shino sweatdropped as he had a sudden sinking feeling. "…Why are you smiling like that." Shino took a small step backwards.

Naruto smile brodened and he opened his eyes a slit. Shino had a bad feeling. "So…Why were you talking to the closet pervert?"

Shino looked vaguely confused then faint relization appeared. "You mean, Ebisu?"

Naruto pounched on this. "Yes. How do you know him? Why does he have the same glasses as you? Did you know that he was a closet pervert?" Shino blinked at this barrage of questions.

"One at a time." Naruto gave shino his best puupy dog eyes. Shino sweatdropped. "I didn't say I wasn't going to tell you."

Naruto jumped around gleefully. "Tell me! Tell me!" Shino shrugged. "How do I know Ebisu? He's my uncle." Naruto froze. "….SAY WHAT?!?! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!?"

He looked at Shino. "…HE DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE YOU!" Shino gave Naruto a blank look. " HE DOESN'T HAVE THOSE WEIRD BUGS THAT YOU DO EITHER!"

"Ah," Shino exclaimed, "Sometimes it will skip family members. He is my uncle on my father's side, but unfourtunatly he never got his own keikuchi bugs. he does have some influnce over bugs however, because of this." Naruto gaped at him.

"…N-no way. I never would have guessed. Well," Naruto looked curious, "What were you talking to him about? And why does he where those glasses, like your's?" Shino sighed.

"I was telling him that we wanted to have him over for dinner tonight, since it is father's birthday. He had forgotten and needed to go buy him a present. As to the glasses, well, his eyes are the same as mine so I guess that's why." Shino scratched his head. "Never though about it." Naruto put his head to one side.

"Hmmm… I guess that makes sense." Then he brightened, "You are being awful talkative today Shino-kun, wanna go get some ramen, my treat!" "For once." Shino muttered but smiled sightly. "Sure."

"YATTA!" Naruto puched the air and racd ahead, waving for Shino to catch up. Shino shook his head slightly, "Closet prevert, eh? I always though of him as a more open pervert…Ah well…" Shino followed after Naruto.


The glasses DO LOOK ALIKE. And that is how I justify this story. Still seeking Beta.
