Kotetsu was bored . And he could see on Izumos face he was bored too , but being the ''responsible '' , ''smart'' one , he would never admit it .

''Pleaaaaaaaseeee Izu-mo-ho-hooo ! '' Kotetsu had been begging Izumo to let some of the new , lifless Chunnin to be gate-keepers for 1 day only, for one week ,but again Izumo would be stubborn and babble something about duties then say no . How could he get Izumo to agree ? ….. BINGO !

''Oi Izumo ! When was the last time we had fun ? ''

'' Ummm … Last night . ''

''Oh c'mon ! We play cards every Thursday night (not what you thought , you dirty perverts ! ) . I mean real fun . The last time we had genuine fun was when the war ended at that party ! God how I remember , Rock Lee got drunk , TenTen almost killed a Mist-ninja , Naruto was being thrown in the air , Sasuke was being welcomed back … Whew , good times . Hmm I wonder what they're up to now …. Havn't seen them in a while ….''

''Hmph ?! '' Izumo looked up from his chart-thingy .

Kotetsu did it ! He hit the spot. Izumo had a soft spot for the former-genin , not that Kotetsu didn't like 'em , but Izumo really thought they were a fun bunch and would be come splendid shinobi , and he was right .Also Izumo used to brag that he was there at their first Chunnin-exam , and had a ''great'' impact on them .

''YOU TWO ! Hatsu and Mukku right ? Come here . All you have to do is guard the gate for the next 2 days got it ? Just sit here , look who comes in , who goes out . Be nice to the ones going on missions , greet the ones returning . Alright ? Good ! '' Izumo shouted to 2 young men , who had just made Chunnin . He then grabbed Kotetsu's vest and dragged him away from the gate .

They were close to the Tea-house when Izumo looked at Kotetsu in the not-so-happy way .

''Asshole ! You tricked me …again ! I can't belive you'd actually throw the guys in this ! '' Izumo scolded his childhood friend.

''Not my fault you fell for it . Anyways , I'm in the mood for some dumplings , let's go .''

Izumo grabbed Kotetsu by the back of his collar .

''Not so fast . We're going somewhere else . You said you wanted to see what the guys, the former-genin were up to , right ? That's exactly what we're going to do ! ''

''Oh please . They'd vanish the second they saw us approaching y'know . They don't want us to stick our noses into their lives . '' Kotetsu was trying to get out of this .

''Who said they're going to see us ? '' Izumo grinned . He looked evil . First time in years Kotetsu has seen him like this .

What were they going to do ? Spy on them ? Wow , well Kotetsu didn't really mind . It sounded exciting and fun .

''But first : To the Hokage to tell her we're taking 2 days off . '' Izumo said .

*I shoulda known . There's no way he would quit being a goody-two-shoes * , Kotetsu thought .
