"That's them, the ones wearing the goggles." Naruto said to Kiba on a roof looking down at the Ninja Academy. "The one with the cape is Konohamaru, the redhead is Moegi, and the sniffling one is Udon." Kiba narrowed his eyes at the Academy students practicing their taijustu. Naruto turned to look at him. "So how do you want to do this? They'll assume it was only me if you don't show your face." Kiba clenched his fists.
"Good, I want them to know who it was their prank hit. I think a hit and run tactic will satisfy me for now. Some balloons and something smelly."
"If you make it sticky too, and throw in some glitter after it, I bet it'll turn out even better."
"No, we won't need all that now that I know what I want to use. We have to go to my house to get what we need. Then we'll get them after they leave the Academy."
"What did you have in mind?"
"You'll find out."

"Kiba, this is genius." Naruto said, looking adoringly at the assortment of bottles spread out on the table. "I never would have been able to get my hands on dog pheromones. Every dog in Konoha is gonna come after them when this is finished." Naruto said, rubbing his hands together. Kiba chuckled darkly.
"I know, these are the pheromones of excited dogs from our clan. Since I'm diluting them with water for the balloons, they won't last as long, but for about an hour every dog that smells them is gonna want to get a closer look."
Naruto frowned as Kiba measured another serving of diluted pheromones before letting Akamaru sniff it to check that it was alright. "Only an hour? I can't imagine many dogs coming by in only an hour."
"That's why we're going to make sure they know." Kiba fished out something from his pocket. "We're going to use this Inuzuka made dog whistle to call all the dogs within two miles to that spot. They'll know how it feels to be swarmed." Kiba chuckled before going into a copy of Naruto's possessed laugh from when he was in the Ninja-Depot. Unlike other people, however, Naruto thought nothing strange of said act and, in fact, joined in several seconds later. Luckily, said laugh occured deep within the Inuzuka compound, where no one but the dogs and several clan members could hear it.
How unfortunate for them.

"You know, guys, if we hadn't placed that door trap for Naruto, I would've been pretty angry after the chicken thing. That's the scariest thing I've had happen to me in a while. But I think the bee idea was pretty scary too. How did you come up with it Moegi?" Konohamaru said, walking with his Corps towards their base of operations for pranks. They kicked rocks off the dirt road overlooking the river below on their way.
"I had an incident in a cave a few years ago. I wonder if he passed out?"
"Its possible, I think most people would pass out from fear." Udon said beside Konohamaru. He looked around quickly, checking to see who was around, before whispering " I think we should save that idea and do repeats of it with different animals. We could set up multiple versions of it around the village and not worry about casualties since only Naruto can set them off. Pranks like that are A-rank."
"I got your A-rank prank right here!" Kiba shouted as he and Naruto jumped out and landed five meters in front of the K.N.C.
"Naruto! What are you doing bringing outsiders into this? This supposed to be our war, no one else's!" Konohamaru said to Naruto clearly upset while Moegi and Udon agreed behind him. The wandering violinist looked up in shock as he noticed the two boys from earlier that day in another situation that demanded background music up on the hill above him. He whipped out his violin and began playing confrontational music, making sure to listen for music cues.
"It's his war now too, and it has been ever since your prank caught him instead of me!" Naruto shouted, ignoring the sudden music as did everyone else.
"That's impossible!" Udon said stepping forward. "That prank was perfect, there's no way it could have failed!"
"It did fail, and got me in the process! A thousand bees swarming in on me! I thought I was going to die! And that's," Kiba's eyes closed, "that's why, that's why I'll never forgive you!" Kiba's eyes blazed open. "Naruto! Do it now!" The Konohamaru Ninja Corp stepped back as Naruto pulled the dog whistle from his pocket and blew.
'A dog whistle? He's calling dog's here? What for?' Udon thought.
"It's done!" Naruto said putting the whistle away.
"I know, they'll be coming soon." Akamaru barked beside him while Kiba reached into his jacket and pulled out six pheromone balloons.
"You're gonna hit us with water balloons?" Moegi said haughtily, "You'll never survive in this war if that's the best you can do!" Kiba laughed.
"These are no ordinary water balloons! Take this! Pheromone Balloons!" Kiba roared as he hefted the balloons and threw them with all his might. Konohamaru and Moegi were both struck with two balloons each while they were surprised at the sudden attack. Udon, who had suspected there was something special about those balloons had begun to move before Kiba threw them. One struck him in the chest while the other balloon sailed past his shoulder into the face of the person who had walked up during all this.
For Kiba, time slowed down as he watched his special pheromone balloon impact, burst, and explode on the face of one Hyuuga Hanabi. It took eight seconds for Hanabi to calm herself, wipe the liquid from her face, and open her eyes. In the first second, Kiba went from confused, to shocked, and then to scared as he realized what happened and let out a shrill yip. It took another second of Akamaru pulling on Kiba's leg to go when he realized Akamaru was right and they should run. It took the third, fourth, and fifth seconds for Kiba to get to a confused Naruto and tell him that they needed to run. It then took the rest of the eight seconds for Kiba, Naruto, and Akamaru to run out of sight into the group of trees they had first jumped out of. When Hanabi looked up all she saw were three people from her class that were looking at her with cautious faces. "Who was it that threw that?" She asked as calmly as possible, which translated into a barely suppressed growl.
"It was," Konohamaru stopped suddenly as an idea came into his head. If Naruto wasn't opposed to adding people to the war than why should he be? Especially when he and his corps would be the one to gain an ally. As long as he spun it the right way. "It was-" Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon suddenly gasped with looks of horror on their face. The Konohamaru Ninja Corps turned as one and began to run away from one Hanabi when Konohamaru suddenly stopped, grabbed Hanabi's wrist, and resumed running dragging her along with him. Hanabi was about to make him let go when she looked behind her and saw about a hundred dogs tearing their way towards them down the road. Hanabi pulled her hand away and began running on her own. A few minutes later they all started screaming as they saw another pack of dogs coming down a side street.

Asuma Sarutobi looked out the window of his apartment quickly. He then rubbed his eyes and looked again. He sighed.
"Did you say something Asuma?" he waved dismissively
"No it's nothing Kurenai, I just thought I saw Konohamaru, a Hyuuga, and two other kids being chased by a pack of dogs down Saiga.

-a good distance away from the K.N.C. and Hanabi's position-
"Why did you make us run? We didn't get to see how it worked." Naruto said to Kiba, who was jumping at random things in city.
"Didn't you see who we hit! It was Hanabi!" A blank look from Naruto. "Hinata's sister!" Naruto yelped before saying
"What do you mean we hit? It was you who threw the balloon!"
"It doesn't matter which one of us hit her. We'd both be in trouble! You're an accomplice" Naruto yelped again. "If we were lucky, we got out of there before she could see us, but I bet Konohamaru will tell her it was us. And then we're screwed."
"Do you really think Hinata would attack us just because we hit her with a water balloon or are you really just that scared of a little girl?"
"Shut up! Don't forget she'll be chased by dogs because of that balloon!"
"Eep!"
"Even then, it's not Hinata I'm worried, even though I'd still rather she not find out, its Neji." Akamaru whined.
"Neji? What does he have to do with anything?"
"Because Hanabi is part of the main family," Kiba said in a low tone. "she can order the people in the Branch Houses to do what she wants."
"Which includes Neji. She could have him come after us!" Naruto concluded. Kiba gulped
"I've also heard from Hinata that after the Chunin Exams, Neji became protective of Hinata but more so of Hanabi." Naruto started sweating "And to top it off, Neji is one of the people she's closer to, so she might not hesitate to just ask him to do it. Ever since we got out of there everytime I see something move I think its Neji coming to palm me into next week!" Naruto jumped and began looking around frantically as Kiba had. "I think we should lay low for a while until we can plan our next move."
"Good idea."

"Alright Konohamaru, I will join your war, if only to show everyone that the Hyuuga are not to be messed with." It was some time after the dogs had finally lost interest in their group that Konohamaru had told Hanabi about their war.
"Nice! It's good to have on the team! I promise you'll get your chance to shine! Come find us at recess tomorrow to talk about our next move." Hanabi nodded and left. Konohamaru turned to his comrades and gave a thumbs up. "Got her!" It hadn't taken much convincing to get Hanabi to join after they had run and hid for an hour. She had seemed almost eager to accept even though she acted disinterested.
"Looks like being chased by dogs turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Even though those dogs got a little to close for my taste." Udon commented. Moegi gasped.
"Think about all the new kinds of pranks we'll be able to do with someone that can see through walls!"
"Heyyy, that's right! Get ready Naruto, you haven't seen anything yet!"
--
Later that night, none of the servants said anything when Hanabi arrived with a sweat stained shirt, twigs in her hair, dust all over her pants, and the smell of a dog around her.
How wise of them.

Even later that night, the wandering violinist found a nice place to sleep for the night, prayed, and told God that he believed he had found his true calling.
