"Stealing the Forbidden Scroll; are you out of your damn mind, Mizuki!" Iruka snapped at the silver-haired chunin, his gaze settling on the large scroll beside him, "You'll be lucky if the Hokage just lets the T&I department do whatever the hell they want to you!"

Mizuki simply scoffed, "And who' s going to stop me from leaving with it anyway? You? With the jutsus in this thing, I'll have money, power, everything I want and deserve."

"You're half right, you'll certainly get what you deserve!" Iruka set a kunai aimed straight for the man's face when was was promptly dodged, "Can't use any offensive jutsu as long as he has the scroll with him, dammit." He muttered, watching Mizuki draw one of the fuma shuriken on his back.

"What the hell is going on! Can't a couple of girls cuddle in peace?"

Unfortunately for the two chunin, they were so focused on each other, niether of them noticed their company until then.

Mizuki stumbled and nearly followed the shuriken down to the ground.

Iruka, being much closer, yelped and jumped a good four feet into the air. Landing, he spun around to see Hinata and a red haired girl he didn't recognize standing nearby, though oddly enough she seemed familar.

"Hinata..wha..what're you doing out here? And who's that?" He pointed to the new girl.

"Do these look familiar, Iruka-sensei?" The girl turned her head to show three whisker marks on her cheek.

Iruka's eyes widened, "Three whis...N-NARUTO!"

"Actually it's Naru-KO. Long story; and as for what we're doing out here, I could ask you the same." She looked up at Mizuki and spotted the scroll, "Tell me that's not what I think it is..I told Jiji there had to be something better than a glass case for the Forbidden Scroll.." She groaned.

Hinata looked at her, "When did you see where it was kept?"

"When I got caught after one of my pranks. Still dunno why he never put it someplace else."

While that discussion was going on, Mizuki snapped out of his stupor and decided to make a move, "Ha, I always knew you were a freak, Uzumaki; but THIS takes the cake! Ah well, I guess that's to be expected with demons like you."

"What are you talking about, Mizuki?" Iruka glanced over at his now former fellow instructor.

"That stupid old man's been puling the wool over Konoha's eyes for years! Everyone thinks The Fourth defeated the Kyuubi, but I know the truth; he sealed it! Into a newborn baby!" He pointed straight at the redhead, "And guess who that baby was: YOU, Naruto Uzumaki! YOU ARE THE KYUUBI REBORN!"

He watched for the reaction with vindictive glee, expecting the 'girl' to scream denials.

A deadpan expression from all three of them, however, did NOT fit the criteria.

Nor did the Hyuuga girl giving him a quizzical look before stifling a giggle and nudging her, gesturing at him.

"You're joking, right?" Iruka

"Didn't you hear me? Iruka and that girl know what you really are now!" Mizuki screamed

Naruko looked for a moment before catching what Hinata saw and chuckled, "Really? All right, if I AM the Kyuubi, Mizuki-teme..." She pointed back at him, "Then who's THAT?"

"How stupid do you think I am, demon bra-huuyyyyyy!" The word wheezed out and Mizuki's face did an impressive contortion as the heavy tree branch collided with his groin from behind, lifting him up onto his toes. He managed to jerkily look over his shoulder in time to see the welder; a green haired girl who simply smiled at him.

"Hello." She said, drawing the branch back again. This time introducing it to his face.

Iruka could have sworn he saw a few teeth go flying from the impact; both from the hit and when Mizuki smacked the ground.

"That was fun." The girl said as she hopped down. "So, how was it? One of you squealed loud enough to wake me up." She grinned at the two girls, both of whom had the decency to blush.

Niether of them got a chance to answer before the sound of a throat clearing caught their attention. "Could someone explain "

All three girls looked at each other momentarily until the redhead spoke up, "You might wanna sit down, Iruka-sensei. This could take a while."

Yes, yes, I KNOW this chapter is short, but sadly this bit alone was giving me no end of grief in getting it right. That and I have 4 other fic chapters I'm currently working on at the same time.

So, while I get everything sorted out, here's the total harem for you to admire:

Hinata, Riku, Tenten, Temari, femHaku, Kin, Isarabi, Ayame, Ino.
