Chapter 3: The Meeting (Part I)

Inside the Hokage's office, two blondes and a redhead were waiting for the others to arrive. They had finished their breakfast a while ago and were now performing a three-way stare match. Gaara had won the last two, but Tsunade was a close second. Suddenly, the door opened and Shizune entered. The woman was followed by an ANBU dragging Naruto by the collar of his clothes.

"Let me go, you asshole! Can't you see I left my ramen on the stove! I should kill you for this! When I become Hokage I'm going to make you pay for this!" - Yelled the boy while trying to break free from the ninja's grasp.

"You can let go of him now." - Tsunade told the man, who quickly obeyed her orders and marched out of the room with Shizune close on his heels.

"YOU!" - Naruto said while pointing an accusing finger at the Hokage. - "If my apartment burns down to the ground I'm killing you!."

"Next time you threaten me, brat, don't do it while wearing pajamas." - The woman told him and burst out laughing at Naruto's reaction.

The boy in question had paled at her words. He slowly scanned the room and finally noticed he was not exactly alone with the old woman. There was Gaara and Temari from Suna. He recognized them from the Chuunin Exams. His eyes widened in surprise while his face suddenly turned red. He moved to a chair in the corner and looked down at his froggy pajamas. He better stay quiet and not bring attention to himself while he was here. He closed his eyes and forced himself to contain the frustrated whine that he felt coming… This was going to be harder than he thought.

They were recuperating from the shock of watching a quiet Naruto, when Shizune entered again. This time she was followed by a calm and collected Uchiha. The woman left him and went back outside without a word.

"Sit boy, there's still people missing for this." - Tsunade said to the newcomer and gestured towards a chair.

"Hn." - Was all he said while moving to the corner and leaning on the wall. From this position he could watch everyone.

The first thing he noticed was the two Sand-nins. The blonde girl with the fans and Gaara. The boy he had to fight during the Chuunin Exams and later when he lost control of… whatever that creature was… when they tried to confront Orochimaru. If the redhead hadn't lost control, the sannin might've been killed during his escape… And he wouldn't be worrying about the seal.

Sasuke willed himself to look away from Gaara, who was staring at him intently. Only now the Uchiha had to fight back his laughter at the sight of Naruto in all his froggy clad glory. Sasuke congratulated himself on his control when he blinked and took a better look at the pajamas.

'Are those frogs eating ramen?'- He wondered and inner Sasuke began rolling on the floor laughing, only to loose consciousness from lack of mental oxygen.

While Sasuke gave mental CPR to his inner being, the door opened again. They were expecting Shizune to enter first, but were surprised when an ANBU ran inside followed by an angry Tenten. The girl had gotten hold of some brass knuckles and had freed herself from the ANBU.

"Come here, you pervert! Why don't you try to touch me now?" - Cried the girl while the man tried to cower behind the Hokage. Tried being the operative word, 'cause Tenten was now using her kunais and he couldn't endanger his Hokage's life.

"Please! I didn't knew." - Begged the man while ducking a kunai aimed at his neck.

"You touched me." - Hissed the girl while getting another kunai out. - "Now you die."

The ANBU was sure he saw his life flash before his eyes. He saw the girl moving to release her kunai and then…

"You can go now." - Shizune, his salvation, said from the doorway. The ANBU didn't waste a second to disappear using a teleportation jutsu. Shizune sighed and went out to wait again. Leaving Tenten, kunai in hand, standing in her pink nightgown with her hair down and glaring at the spot the man had been occupying just minutes before.

"Would you like to explain that little display of violence towards one of our own?" - Tsunade asked, amusement in her tone of voice.

"Hokage-sama, that ANBU just molested me" - Replied Tenten while trying to relax and hiding the kunai somewhere on her body.

Temari couldn't help it. She tried to control it, but this had been too much. She laughed and it was then that Tenten realized she wasn't alone and she was only wearing her night clothes.

She recognized, with a blush, the two Genins from Suna. It was glancing at the Uchiha and Naruto that made her turn beet red in embarrassment. At least Naruto was suffering the same as her. Maybe that was the reason Naruto was so quiet… or was he sick? She moved behind the blond boy and tried to disappear in the shadows but the pink made it a little difficult to blend.

Meanwhile, both Sasuke and Naruto were wondering how did she kept so many weapons hidden when her clothes were almost see through. Tsunade was satisfied that the boys hadn't suffered a nosebleed. After this was over she was going to have a strong conversation with her ANBU.

The door opened again and Shizune entered with Rock Lee following close behind her. This time the black haired girl stayed beside Tsunade. The boy bowed and stood straight waiting his Hokage's orders.

"I see you've been exercising." - Commented Tsunade while looking at the boy's slightly sweaty face.

"I prefer to use all my youthful years productively, Hokage-sama. I was running laps around the training grounds." - Said the boy.

"Didn't Gai-sensei said that you shouldn't exercise for a couple of days, Lee? - Asked Tenten from her corner while using Naruto as a cover. - "I thought you were injured."

"A sprained ankle will not stop me from hard work, Tenten." - The green clad boy turned to her while flashing her a smile and giving her a thumbs up. - "Besides, if I take it easy now, there should not be a problem."

"How much is taking it easy, Rock Lee?" - Asked the Hokage with narrowed eyes and standing up to see the injury.

"Five hundred laps around the training grounds, Hokage-sama; but since I could not finish that I must now do one thousand push-ups." - Replied the boy proudly. - "If I cannot finish those, I will punch the logs one thousand and five hundred times." He finished with a pose.

Tenten was waiting for the sun to shine on his bowl-cut hair and his smile to blind her, but Tsunade stopped that from happening. The medic-nin had seen his now very swollen foot and had proceeded to hit the boy on the head; thus ending his pose prematurely.

"You and that sensei of yours are going to be the death of me! It hasn't been a week since I patched you up last and you're injured again! Once this meeting is over I want you to stay on your bed and not move unless you want me to tie you down and shave those eyebrows and head of yours." - Tsunade screamed at him. Lee's eyes widened in panic at her threat and Tsunade smiled before saying. - "And then I'll tell Gai how you, his beloved and youthful pupil, disobeyed him."

"NO!" - Rock Lee's eyes watered as the idea that he'd actually gone against Gai-sensei's words struck him. All he wanted was to get stronger and make him proud, but… - "Gai-sensei! I failed you!"

And Kurenai entered the room to this display of manly tears. She hesitated slowly at the sight of mini-Gai, as she called him, crying while yelling that he failed Gai on something. But she was a Jounin and she had learned to deal with strange things. Such as a bored Uchiha, two Suna Genins, Naruto and Tenten in pajamas and a crying mini-Gai. Her red eyes surveyed the scene again and stopped. Her eyes widened a fraction, panic and fear in them. Tsunade was looking at her with the most beatific smile Kurenai had ever seen and Naruto was completely silent. She was doomed.
