So, this is just something that was floating around my head while watching Soul Eater. This Chapter is really short, usually I go on forever. I'm not sure yet if I plan to update even though I've planned out the next like 30 years of story. Anyway. I"ll let you get on with it. Just one other thing...

"Black Star, this seems like a bad idea."

"You worry too much, Tsubaki."

The two young children were in a busy city square, more or less invisible to the people bustling around them. They were crouched beneath a sheet of plywood leaning against a wall that was waiting to be taken over to a barbeque shop that had recently, well, exploded.
Black Star stood up straight so that his blue hair brushed thier "ceiling". "After this, that old fart Hokage will have no choice! He'll have to give in to me, Black Star, the best shinobi who ever was and will ever be!"

"Black Star, you're yelling." Tsubaki rolled her eyes at her best friends antics. "Sai-sensei is gonna catch you and you're gonna get-"
Black Star grabbed the girl by her shoulders, face dead serious. "Negative talk like that will get you removed from my squad, Tsubaki."

Tsubaki's eyes widened and she stood up a little striaghter. "Your right. I'm sorry. At your signal, Captain Black Star."

The mischeivous grin returned. Black Star signaled Tsubaki to get ready to run. As he did so, he pulled a can of spray paint from each of his pockets, nodding as Tsubaki did the same. On the silent count of three, the two children broke cover and ran for the Hokage's monument, a good four blocks away.

As they ran, they tagged everything they could, Black Star laughing like a lunatic. Two steps out, Tsubaki turned around and sprayed a red flower on the board they had hid behind. Black Star managed to get a passing Inuzuka, and her dog, with stripes of black. Fences, store windows, pavements, everything they passed was littered with stars and flowers.

By the time they reached the mountain's base, they were out of breath and out of paint. Luckily, Tsubaki had anticipated this and hidden fresh cans at the base. Sai hadn't been expexting her to dive into the underbrush, so his inky ropes missed her by a hair.
When she emerged, grinning, with her loot, she was met with a struggling Black Star and an impassive Sai. The smile fell from her face, and she set her paint on the ground.

"Never surrender, Tsubaki, run!" Black Star grit his teeth when his sensei flicked him in the back of the head. Tsubaki shook her head, hiding her small smile. She knew this would happen. What she didn't expect was the man approaching behind her sensei, a man who was revered by all of leaf village, the one Black Star craved to surpass, the Hokage, Naruto.

"Ah, its that time of year already?" He smiled easily, leaning with an elbow on Sai's shoulder and looking fondly at two caught children. "I painted the mountain the day before I started academy, too." He looked up and made a face. "Of course, I actually made it up to the faces..."
Tsubaki saw Black Star's face turning purple, and he began to struggle fiercely against his binding. Any minute now, he would explode.

"We'll clean it, sir, don't worry." She stepped in front of her apoplectic friend, trying to cover him. "It was a juvenile prank, and-"

After struggling hard enough to fall over, Black Star was done being quiet. "You think your better cause you tagged the faces? I got paint up Maya Inuzuka's skirt so take that, old man! I'm Black Star, the best ninja that ever was or ever will be! I'm gonna be the next Hokage, I'm gonna be the best Hokage, I'll leave you all in my dust! Black Star is number one, you got it!"

Naruto watched the boy happily, trying not to look antagonizing. He would have hated it if the Hokage had stood there looking smug when he was going on one of his tears as a kid. "I have high hopes for this one." He muttered to Sai.

"If that's true, then I look foward to the day you challenge me. But first you have to get through academy, and you can't do that if your tied up all the time. So, clean this up, and tonight I'll treat you three to ramen. Deal?"

Black Star refused to soften just because this guy was nice. They were rivals, damn it. Then again, maybe he could use this to find out his enemies weak points. "Alright old man, even Black Star will clean a little if it means free dinner."

Anyway, Thanks for reading. ^.^
