"Jinchuriki-san! I can't sleeeeeeep!" Ayumi whined, standing in front of the couch where Naruto was sleeping while clutching a blanket tightly in her small hands. Naruto drowsily rolled over on the couch, now facing the little blonde girl. "What is it, Ayumi?" "I can't sleep! I think there's a snake in your room!" Ayumi pouted, clutching the blankets tighter. "Alright, what do you want me to do?" Naruto asked, sleepily sitting up. "Scare the snake aw…away!" Ayumi demanded. The puzzle in the twenty-year-old blonde's suddenly fit together as he finally processed that there possibly was a snake in his room which probably meant no good considering that he was taking care of one of Orochimaru's test subjects.
Naruto stood and headed to his room, Ayumi in tow. Naruto switched on the lights of his room "Where is the snake?" Naruto asked "In the bed!" And right on cue a loud bout of hissing interrupted them. Naruto walked over to the bed and pulled off another blanket that was piled up on the middle of the bed. A medium sized snake slithered across the ground and stopped in front of Ayumi, who shrieked loudly. Naruto quickly picked up Ayumi and left her in the kitchen before going back to his room and letting the snake leave through his window. "Now the snake is gone, Ayumi, you can go back to sleep" Naruto said, still feeling a bit uneasy about the whole ordeal. "No! What if…the snake ge…gets back in?" Ayumi whimpered. Naruto, who honestly, was too sleepy to act like his normal, sunshiny self, groaned in annoyance. "I-I'm sorry, Jin-jinchuriki-san, I d…idn't mean to make you angr...y!" Ayumi said quickly, stuttering using broken-up words. "No, I'm not angry…but please go to sleep" Naruto said pleadingly. "O-okay" Ayumi squeaked and soon, Naruto fell asleep. Around an hour later he woke up to a weight on his chest and saw Ayumi curling up with the blankets on top of his chest, sighing, he ruffled the other blonde's hair before going back to sleep.
"Hn. This kid is…useless to say the least…" Sasuke complained, seeing as Toshiaki had fallen asleep on him mid-shopping trip and was now sleeping in one of the many empty rooms in the Uchiha compound. The Uchiha decided to go to sleep and promptly did so, after checking on Toshiaki one last time.
Morning came quickly for the two integrants of Team 7, who were now trying to get ready and then convince a young child to get ready. "So…is your sensei nice?" Toshiaki asked while Sasuke helped him tie his shoelaces. "Yes" "Good! Because, you're really scary!" "Ninjas are supposed to be…scary" Sasuke explained slowly "Then I don't want to be a ninja!" Toshiaki huffed, crossing his arms stubbornly. "That's your choice, now hurry, Sakura is going to get angry if we're late" Sasuke hurried and Toshiaki nodded before following the intimidating raven.
