It was bright and early, and the air filled with the sounds of morning. Some of the sounds included the singing of the birds, people greeting each other on the street, and also the sound of Jiraiya banging on the door of the local Konoha Target.
A teenager in glasses and a red shirt unlocked the door from within, looking disapprovingly up at the hermit.
Jiraiya glared back, Tsunade and Orochimaru standing behind him, trying to pretend like they were total strangers. Then the white-haired man took a deep breath and started yelling about a sign posted next to the door.
The boy frowned, covering his ears, and looked over at which Jiraiya took offense. "No roller skates, skateboards, weapons, traps, or pets (cats, dogs, turtles, ferrets, zombies, foxes, tanuki, monkeys, slugs, toads, snakes, etc.) allowed inside the store," said the sign.
"You can't keep toads like me out of the store!" Jiraiya ranted. "We can be respectable customers just like any other person!"
The Target employee pushed his glasses up on his nose menacingly. "That sign simply means, sir, that you cannot bring any animals into the store."
"I don't have any," Jiraiya and Tsunade said in unison, while Orochimaru said, "I don't have any in my pockets."
They looked at him.
"Even though you might resemble an animal, as a person you can come in," the teen continued, drawing their attention back.
"Are you making fun of my wart!" Jiraiya shouted, pointing at his nose.
"Oh, it all makes sense now," Tsunade mused. Then, "Wait, in what way do I look like a slug?"
Orochimaru breezed by the two, coming up in front of the boy. "I'd like to take your body," he said by way of introduction. Getting glares from his teammates: "I mean, I'm totally loyal to the Leaf, and am not interested in immortality whatsoever."
Looking at the boy's nametag, he went on, leaning closer, "But, uh, Kabuto-kun, you wouldn't happen to be a part of some clan with great powers, would you?"
"That's enough, snake boy," Tsunade growled, kicking him in through the door. Then she dragged Jiraiya in by his hair, ignoring his whine of "'Taku, Tsunade-hime, you're so bossy!"
TO BE CONTINUED?
I don't know where the idea came from, and I honestly don't know what might happen next. Probably nothing, 'cause I'll prolly forget about it. ; Any ideas?
