Naruto awoke to find some of the teams had already left. He wasn't worried because Sasuke was still there. Sasuke and Sakura was sitting at the front of the room wondering about their sensei.
Meanwhile, Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji were talking to Asuma, who had walked in and announced that they would stay until the last jounin sensei arrived. Hinata was sitting silently in between Shino and Kiba as they were talking to their sensei, Kurenai. this meant Kakashi was to be their jounin sensei.
"I cant wait to see about Kakashi and how he has changed." The voice that would sometimes interrupt Naruto's conversations with Kyuubi spoke up for the first time that week. He hadn't heard from it since he had asked him not to paint the Yondaime Hokage's face on Hokage Mountain when he had pulled the prank to make the Kyuubi laugh at the ANBU trying to catch him. It was the first time he had heard him outside of his mind scape so it surprised him.
Ignoring the voice in his head he made his way to Sasuke and Sakura. He could hear them trying to make since of why their teacher was so late. He joined the conversation while the voice (which he had named Voice) was talking about how Kakashi should not be that late. Voice began by thanking Naruto for letting him take controll of his body before he had begun his training that morning.
"I originally just wanted to mess with someone but now I am going to use that trap to teach him a lesson." He muttered.
This got Naruto's attention. "Trap? I didn't know you liked pranks."
"Only on certain people who I know." He laughed as he began to tell the story of how he first used the trap, how he had learned to make it, and where he had placed it this time. He had apparently set it to react to Kakashi's chakra and was placed just outside the door to the right which was where he should be coming from.
After two hours of pretending to listen to Sakura as she tried to explain the jounin's behavior, Kurenai got impatient and was getting more iritated at Kakashi for how late he was. It was an hour passed when he would normally arrive according to Asuma. After 5 minutes of ranting Kurenai began making her way to the door to leave.
"If Kakashi is going to be so late then how is he going to handle his team? I swear when I find that annoying peverted-" She didn't finish her claim because just after she opened the door, she found Kakashi tangled in ninja wire that was causing him to dangle upside down. If he were to move the wire would only tighten its grip and would eventaully strangle him so he had just waited for someone to find him as he was staring at a note left by the prank master. His expession was unreadable as Asuma and everyone else came up to see what had stopped the genjutsu mistress from hunting down the copy nin.
Kiba and Naruto both laughed as the jounins tried to find the way to free their comrade only to make the situation worse. Voice told Naruto how to get the copy nin down as he noticed the note attached to some of the ninja wires. Kakashi had enough of being strangled and yelled for everyone to stop "helping" him.
"I recognize trap, sensei used it once against his girlfriend to keep her away from his coat." He explained panting from lack of air. He knew that the wires would loosen up as long as he didn't move around and no one pulled on any of the wires. "If you leave it alone the wires will loosen to the way it was before. Only a toad summoner knows how to place and deactivate this particular trap. Messing with it will only strangle those caught in it as it was meant for toads and not people."
It was already getting easier to breathe when Asuma decided to inform the Hokage. It took him less than 3 minutes to get the old man to the area but another 5 minutes to get the toad reverse summoning scroll to summon Jaraiya.
"What do you need me for old man? I was about to enjoy a relaxing hot spring when you called." an irate sennin commented.
"well for one, seeming as how you are the only toad summoner, I would like to know why you placed this trap and I would like you to get Kakashi down, if you don't mind." Ordered an equally irate Hokage.
Naruto then snapped out of his thoughts as he saw the sennin and Voice commented on how they should realize who else could have placed the trap cause they all knew him well.
"I would be glaring at someone right now but the slightest movement will tighten the wires again and I don't think I can handle that right now." Kakashi muttered. After 2 minutes of examening the trap the toad sage stood staight and turned toward his former teacher.
"I didn't place this but I know of a way to find out who did." He went though the hand signs and summomed a small old toad. "Hey Pa, can you tell me who else can summon toads cause I didn't teach this to anyone and Minato sure didn't either."
The old toad, the summoner called him Pa, looked at the helpless copy nin and back to the summoner. "I will check the contract list again to be sure but you should be the only one alive who is able to summon us unless minato passed his toad contract onto his child. I know for a fact that no one has given out a test to any one so even still you are the only living person able to make that." Pa then summoned the list and opened it showing two names. "Only you and Minato's names."
"Right, well I cant remember how to get him down from this and no I didn't place it unless I can now run at jounin level speeds in my sleep and I don't sleep walk ever." Jaraiya said then pointed to the still hanging jounin who was muttering something about not having two names.
No one could hear him while he was unable to move around and was getting more dizzy from blood rushing to his head.
"Oh, it looks like the dog summoner can actually see that it was me. Glad some one knows im around." Voice mused. "Don't say a word about me yet."
Naruto mentally nodded and turned his attention back to Pa as he jumped up and grabbed the note. With this, his weight did the rest and Kakashi fell to the floor. Finally after 2 minutes of wondering if he was going to move, Kakashi informed his team that they would meet him on the training grounds at six in the morning the next day. The genin and their teachers, well most of them as Kakashi was still on the floor, left the building.
Naruto went straight home and began reading a scroll on fuinjutsu that he had bought in secret from a traveling caravan that came into the village 4 times a year. One of the stands sell various things found around the world and another sells scrolls on forgotten arts and techniques. The scroll he was reading was the Sealing Technique: Pale Lightning and he had bought another scroll from that same stand called the Sealing Technique: Hailstorm Barrage. He bought a scroll and some seal making supplies, enough to last him the full year of practice, from the second stand and from the only other stand he found he could place an order for any type of clothes, even chakra conductive that were very expensive. He only needed 3000 more ryo to pick up his order the next time they were in the village. He had plenty of time to gain that money from missions as a shinobi and wasn't about to worry about it.
He brought out his ink and brush and began drawing seals on himself as he prepared the seal he was currently working on. Voice stayed quiet and Kyuubi muttered something about going to sleep before it got dark so Naruto looked at the clock. 4:30 pm. He had plenty of time to complete the seal since it was a fairly easy one. At 5 pm, he tested the seal with his shadow clones and then tweaked it to better fit him.
By the time he went to bed he had already mastered the technique and was able preform the seal in 2 seconds for the normal effects. He had tweaked it so that the side effect of the jutsu would not effect him. As the sun set in the distance, Naruto was falling deeper into sleep and Voice was practically singing a lullaby.
a/n: please give suggestions. I may not listen to all of them but I'm still deciding what should happen with Mizuki (dont think I forgot about him) and how I should make things funny yet serious. benefit of writing naruto fanfic. I do not own Naruto in any means. I only own the plot of this story.
