Chapter 3

Naruto, Sasuke, Iruka, and Kakashi all sat at the ramen shop. All four a little pissed off.

"I can't believe Taro took up his floorboards and destroyed the kitchen ceiling." Naruto said taking a sip of his sake.

"I can't believe you gave me an S- class mission when my wife is due any day." Sasuke said, glaring at Naruto, who like old times, shook it off.

"I can't believe the Kazekage is coming tomorrow and you're bringing Taro to work." Iruka said putting his head in his hands.

"I can't believe I'm sitting here with three losers who havnt touched the ramen, which might I add, I paid for."

They all turned and glared evilly at Kakashi.

"Just for that your coming home with meand helping me fix the kitchen ceiling."

"And you're going to watch over Sakura and protect her while I'm gone."

"Yeah! And if anything goes wrong while the Kazekage is here, you'll be watching Taro for a month!"

"He will?" asked Naruto. Iruka nodded and Kakashi turned to stone.

" It's what he gets for opening his mouth during a time like this." Kakashi groaned.

Naruto stood, "Come on Kakashi- sensei."

"You were serius?" he asked, mouth dropping.

"Yup."

"You were all serious?" he asked them.

"Yup." They chorused as one.

Dam nit! This is what I get for opening my mouth. As he stood he looked at Naruto's bowl. It was empty. Good so it was not all in vain! He caught up with the Hokage walking away.

"So how bad is it?" Kakashi asked.

"He's officially stuck with me for the rest of the week. So since its Sunday today, you have three more days more days starting tomorrow till the time the Kazekage leaves for Taro to mess up. Which brings it to a total of 72 hours-"

"AWW ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"

Naruto chuckled, "Yes. I wont hold Iruka's thing against you But! While I'm in meetings you do get to watch him. Cheer up; he goes to the Academy next year. Iruka gets him then."

Poor Iruka.

They walked into the front door of Naruto's house to see Taro run by, closely followed by Hinata.

"I WONT TAKE A BATH! I WONT – AH!"

Hinata finally caught him and dragged him upstairs, "Oh yes you will! Your muddy, sweaty, covered in dust and wood chips AND you have peanut butter in your hair!"

She finally got to the bathroom. She held Taro between her knees as she turned on the tub and poured in the soaps. She then wrestled all of Taro's clothes off and dropped him in the bubble topped water. He simply looked at his panting mother and said,

"The waters to cold."

She sighed and put more hot water in the tub. She was about to sit down and read her parenting book when….

"Now it's too hot!" she proceeded to put more cold water into the tub.

"Now it's to cold again." Hinata actually growled at her son while putting more hot water in. She sat down after it was done and opened the waiting book. She glanced up a minute later when she heard no sloshing. Taro was staring directly at her with a pitiful look in his eye.

"What is it now Taro?" she asked sighing.

"….now its too deep." She groaned and reached under the water to let a little bit out of the tub. Her son went under the bubbles.

The fearsome shark senses distress in the waves above him. He circles up, closer and closer to the terrified victim. suddenly Taro broke the surface of the water screaming, "SHARK ATTACK!"

"AHHHHH!" Hinata screamed as her son successfully got her drenched. She stopped draining the water and yelled, " YOU KNOW! FOR SOMEONE WHO HATES TAKING BATHS AS MUCH AS YOU, YOU SURE ARNT MAKING THIS GO ANY FASTER!"

But by then Taro had gone under again.

Another gruesome kill.
