Hey everyone, sorry I haven't updated in a while, updates for me are probably going to come in bursts between my busy periods. Just a short intro to Naruto's new life today, and my first OC.

I don't own Naruto, but if I start a Japanese Mob, I can try to own Kishimoto.

Naruto was terrified. He had never seen anyone that angry and he was not going to get caught this time. Quickly ducking into an alleyway and wall jumping up to a second story window, he dove into a random building to escape that wrathful figure chasing after him, melding into the shadows as quietly as he could and hoping, praying that he wasn't found.

"NARUTO YAMANAKA GET BACK HERE!" Inoichi was furious. The Jinchuuriki boy was well known for his pranks, but this one really took the cake for him. The tricky little blonde had followed him to work, and painted all over the interrogation rooms in bright, garish colors. Pictures of fluffy animals, rainbows, anything that took all the intimidation out of a room, he painted all over the walls. At the same time, all of the interrogators lockers were booby-trapped with glitterbombs and fluorescent orange paint. The only rooms that got a different treatment were the Interrogators offices. Ibiki's office had received a rather well drawn depiction of the Nine-Tails snarling behind his desk, glaring at anyone who entered the room. Inoichi's room had received a huge eye, giving a lidless stare at anyone who entered. Anko's, naturally, got a picture of a snake poised to strike, coming out of a black background. Honestly, the office pictures would probably stay; they were intimidating and fit the reputations and mindsets of the ones who had received them. However, almost all of the scheduled interrogations were forced on hold due to a lack of suitable rooms to use, and the entire department was set back trying to get the paint off the walls.

Inoichi searched for a few more minutes before pulling his trump card. "If you don't come out right now I will tell the Ichiraku's no ramen for a month." He hated the trump card, it made Naruto mope and the Ichiraku's wanted money to make up for the lost revenue of their best customer, but it nearly always did the trick in getting Naruto to appear. Distracted for a moment, Inoichi missed his chance to dodge as a suddenly irate Naruto appeared seemingly from nowhere, landing directly on top of him.

"NO! I won't let you! The ramen will be mine!" Naruto screamed as Inoichi pulled the furious boy off of him and spiked his intent, quelling the boy's childish anger instantly. "You are in serious trouble. Don't even think about demanding anything from me after the stunt you pulled at my work today. What possessed you to do that?"

Naruto scratched the back of his head, grinning sheepishly. "Well, I heard that weird snake lady talking about how easy all of the interrogations were lately, and how she wanted a challenge to work on. I didn't know which room she'd use, so I painted all of them to make sure her next job was harder."

Inoichi sweat-dropped. Anko was in fact the only one still doing interrogations today, claiming that this was exactly the challenge she was looking for, stalking into the room covered in glittering paint with a sadistic grin that made even Ibiki lose some of his stoic reserve. 'Not that I'd tell him that, he'd take it as permission to do it again.' "Well guess what. Just for that, I'm going to make you do your meditation lessons twice a day for the next month, and you will have to clean the entire compound by the end of the week. If you do any more pranks during this time, I'll not only take away your ramen, but I'll make you be Ibiki's assistant for a whole year. Your extra meditation lessons will start at 1 PM, which is in a few minutes, so you'd better hurry up." Dragging the downcast boy back to the Yamanaka's grounds, he dropped him in front of the guards at the front gate and stalked back to the Interrogation office.

Naruto quickly stood up, and quickly made a run for the Yamanaka meditation shrine. He flew into the room, only to crash into an old man meditating. "AAGH!" he shouted, blearily looking around while rubbing at his head, "What hit me?"

"The better question, Yamanaka boy, is who did you hit." A deep, rumbling voice behind him spoke out. Naruto shivered, turning around slowly, trying to avoid the wrath of this mysterious man. "I-I'm sorry sir, are you ok?" Looking up, he was greeted by the man bent over, peering directly into his eyes. "Whaa!" he stumbled back, unnerved by how close the man was. Suddenly, he was pulled into an enormous bear –hug. "Izumi! I missed you soo much! How is my little girl today? Did you like the breakfast I made you? Did you see your friends?" The elder man rambled on, asking 'Izumi' question after question as Naruto frantically tried to escape, pulling away and shouting. "Who the heck aare you! Are you sick or something? MY NAME IS NOT IZUMI!"

At that, the man stopped shaking Naruto and looked into his eyes. "Wh- what are you talking about? How could you not be my little girl? A- are you saying that you don't want to be my daughter?" The man's anguished pleas confused Naruto, but he sounded so sad! He had to do something! "N-no that's not it at all." He began, only to be shook again as the man gleefully shook him and buried him deeper into his chest.

"Put me down! I can't talk to you if your shaking me like that!" Abruptly, Naruto found himself back on the ground, the old man sitting in front of him like a little kid waiting for a story.

"Well, what are you waiting for, tell me how you were today?" Naruto sweat-dropped. 'Just who is this crazy old man?' Quickly trying to think of something to say, he opened his mouth to speak, only to have the old man cover his lips with a finger. "Nevermind, I can see you don't really want to talk about it. So what did you come to see me for then?" At this, Naruto's sweat-drop was joined by another. 'This dude is nuts. Wait a second; all of the crazy people are super strong ninja's. I heard Inoichi complaining about it last week. Maybe I can get him to train me!'
