Chapter Four – Meeting

Naruto arrived back from the wave county exhausted but excited. He felt great; he had helped defeat a bad-guy and made some new friends. All looked well in his life.

Walking towards the Hokage's house he noticed someone fixing some buildings to the side. His mood darkened; almost all was well. There was someone out there, someone who was pulling pranks and he was being blamed for.

He, Saskue, Sakura and Kakashi arrived at the Hokage's to report. He saw a group of chunin standing by giggling at something and took a moment to be mildly annoyed that one of them looked younger then he. Naruto had the nagging feeling that they were laughing at him. He glared at them as he entered the office. Who were they to be laughing at him, and why? He stood quietly as Kakashi debriefed their mission to the Hokage and listening with a half ear as he mentally reviewed everything that had happened. When they were finished with that they bowed and left. The girls were still standing there. Kakashi it seemed finally noticed them. His steps slowed as they passed and Naruto was surprised to see the only visible part of Kakashi's face to pale slightly.

"They're back." He muttered just loud enough for Naruto and the others to hear.

"Who?" asked Sakura looking around and back at Kakashi questioningly."I'll explain away from here." Kakashi muttered, looking over his shoulder. One of the girls smiled and waved. Kakashi turned and hurried to the front and picked up the pace. Giggles followed them out of the building, once outside they found a bench to sit on and it was there that Kakashi finally explained who the girls where.

"Their team was formed years ago; you saw how they were in their twenties? Well, those two are Tairoru Herenu and Isamu Yoshiko. They had been in a group with Kuroshoshi Kippei until five years ago, which was shortly after his sister graduated, he was killed. After that the younger one, Kuroshoshi Kazura was placed in the group. Kuroshoshi Kazura was guaranteed a spot as a ninja on account of her martial art skills alone. Tairoru and Isamu have always been pranksters. Kippei was much more stable and kept them out of trouble. The Hokage, I think, assumed that Kuroshoshi's silent and distant attitude during schooling meant that she was much the same as her brother. Unfortunately, Kuroshoshi was just burning for an opportunity to wreck havoc and when they put her in with Team Six they lit a fire far bigger then they thought was possible. They then went from being Team Six to Team Trinity Six, because most everyone believes they get their 'best' idea's from the devil. They are worse than you have ever been Naruto, when it comes to pranks." Kakashi said, "And I say it now and only once. Stay away from them. Especially Kuroshoshi and Tairoru."

Naruto glared at the ground his mind working furiously to absorb all this information. Now he knew who to blame…but how to confront them about it?

Herenu sat on a bench trying to look natural and failing, at least her friends would've said that she was failing—she looked normal to everyone else. Her long green hair swished merrily as she rocked her head while she whistled a nonsensical tune. Iruka was nearby and she had just noticed him. Her heart pounded in her thought and she felt a blush rise to her cheeks. Could he possibly be any hotter?

She shook her head to get rid of her Iruka-daydream. At least he was safely not on her team…it might affect her fighting if he was around, she'd spend half the battle wondering if he was watching her…Her mind began to wonder…well maybe it wouldn't be that bad to have him on their team…she wouldn't have to wait for stolen moments like this to look at him.

She sighed then shook the hearts from her eyes.

Herenu pursed her lips slightly and tried to look away. She needed away from him, before she did something stupid, like confess her feelings. She groaned at the thought, how school girl would that be? Never mind that that was what she had been day-dreaming about all afternoon. Her body just wanted to sit here and absorb his hot glory. It had been months since she had seen him and she felt she deserved the right to sit and ogle. She had no idea how long exactly she had been sitting there before someone blocked her vision. She looked up and saw the blonde punk who had been stealing their glory.

"What'cha want punk? I'm busy." She said.

Naruto frowned, she didn't look busy, she was just sitting staring at Iruka. "Are you the one who painted the Hokage's house?"

Herenu nodded as she shifted slightly so she could see Iruka again. Ohhh… Iruka was cute.

"And stole Gai's cloths?"

She nodded again as she felt her self drift into another day dream.

"And set off the fireworks?"

A third nod.

"I declare you my rival! I will defeat you!"

The words 'rival' and 'defeat' pulled Herenu from her almost day-dream.

Herenu look at Naruto with mounting irritation, who did he think he was anyway?

"As if..." She said shifting again to get a better view of Iruka, which the kid promptly broke by stepping in front of her again.

Naruto opened his mouth to protest his face beginning to turn red. "What makes you think I can't!?"

"You are a genin." She said as if it explained everything, but when he did not move she looked him full in the eyes and continued, "You are just out of the Academy for one, and I'm a chuunin who's beyond you in skill. Also, I'm not an idiot." She said standing up and crossing her arms. 'Most of the time….' She added silently with a mental wince.

"I'm not an idiot!" Naruto retorted his face turning another shade of red.

Herenu just raised an eyebrow. "Really? That's not the word on the street says."

Naruto fumed. "I will defeat you!" he declared. "I took your blame and you never once acknowledged me!"

Naruto dashed forwards to punch person before him, but before he knew what was happening he found her gloved hand on his forehead holding him back.

"See?" she laughed, "You can't touch us. Besides, we wanted the blame and you got in the way by taking the blame for us. If anyone should be challenging anyone it would be us challenging you. But if it's really a challenge you want, then let me propose this: a contest of the pranksters. Whoever's name becomes more feared, wins. Let me warn you: the names Herenu, Kazura, and Yoshiko are already infamous. You will have to work hard to get to where we are."

Naruto pondered the idea for a second. "Deal."

They reached out and shook.

"Done and Done." Herenu grinned evilly. "Let the games begin."

She was gone in a blink, off to find Kazura and Yoshiko and tell them of their newest game.
