"Okay. So I had this really awesome prank planned." Naruto stated.

"Awesome? Really?" Sakura asked.

"Of course. Everything I plan is awesome. Like this one time I —"

"Naruto. Get back to the original story. We don't really care about your 'awesome plans.' " Ino said as she finger-quoted her last two words.

"Fine. Whatever. Can't really give away the good stuff anyway." said Naruto as he continued on with his tale. "So here was my brilliant plan. I asked Neji if he had big hand disease. That's all. It wasn't even harmful. Well, except to him I guess," shrugged Naruto.

"Big hand disease!? Are you serious?" Sakura said through her tears, her hand muffling her laughter. "I haven't heard that since fifth grade. Haha. Except we said cancer instead."

"Wait. Hold on. What's big hand disease?" Ino asked.

"You had never heard of big hand disease as a kid before?" Shikamaru chuckled. "And Neji actually fell for it?"

"I know. I didn't think it would happen either." Naruto replied.

"Is no one going to explain this to me? I can't be the only one who has never heard of it." Ino said angrily.

"Chillax, Princess. I'm sure little anti-social emo boy over here is just as lost as you are," said Sakura. "Naruto, would you do us the honor?"

"Why of course. So Ino you want to know what big hand disease is?"

"Just get on with it, Naruto."

"How about a demonstration?" Naruto smirked.

"How about no." Ino retaliated.

"Fine, fine. So here's how it went…."

5 hours earlier….

"Neji! I'm so sorry. I just heard the news. Are you sure you should be doing that?" asked Naruto as he walked up to Neji, who was putting his books in his locker. Neji turned his head to glare at the blonde, but Naruto went right on talking, "I mean I heard it was bad. And that you were dying, but you're here…..Does it hurt?"

"Does what hurt?" replied Neji, still putting his books away.

"Big hand disease."

"What?" said Neji as he stared at the hand that was holding his books.

"It's where your hand is bigger than your face." Naruto said.

They both stared at Neji's hand.

"Hold it up to your face." Naruto whispered.

-- back to detention

"So you ended up getting detention for fighting with Neji?" Ino asked.

Naruto shrugged, "I don't really know. I kind of blacked out at the end after I told him to put his hand up to his face."

"Wait. If you're in detention because of fighting, the how come Neji isn't in detention too?" Hinata asked.

Naruto shrugged his shoulders again.

"Oh", Shikamaru said as he lean back in his chair, "While you were out Naruto, Neji used his extraordinary debating skills and said he acted in self defense. And it didn't help that the teacher that stopped the fight just happened to be the one whose chair you put glue in earlier today."

"Hmmm… That teacher, eh?" said Naruto. "She always said she couldn't wait to give me detention."

"I would think any teacher would want to put you in detention and keep you there." commented Sasuke.

"Okay. So moving on. Who's next?" Sakura said as she looked around the group. "How about you, Hinata?"

"Okay, but I'm telling you that it wasn't anything big really." Hinata said.

"If it wasn't big then why are you in detention?" Shikamaru questioned her.

"Oh. Ummm…." Hinata blushed, "Well, I kinda skipped class."

"Kinda? How can you kinda skip class?"

"Well you see I went to class and I just didn't feel like being there. So I asked the teacher for the bathroom pass and just never came back." Hinata said as she scratched her head.

Everyone stared at her in shock.

Sakura spoke first, "I think it's a sign of the end of the world or something."

"Ohmigod. Someone should declare this day a holiday." Ino mused.

"And call it what? Skip School Because You're Well Day?" Shikamaru stated. "Yeah, good luck with that."

"But that's not all you did, right?" Sasuke said all of a sudden. "I heard you did something else. Something that could get you expelled."
