As Naruto ran he could help but to smile as he had once again fooled his "guardians". Sure he had lost his pranks companion Shikamaru and three members of his team, Ino, Lee and Tenten. But he was pretty sure that with the shadow ninja with them they wouldn't be much time without causing some sort of mess to the two other gennin. Now he had to look for Sasuke, Shino and Neji, while avoiding being caught by Sakura-chan and the dog boy.
As he ran through the park he spotted a young couple with two kids on the sandbox (1). What interested him wasn't the fact that they were all a happy family. No. It was the fact that the two kids had huge pieces of candy in their hands, while their parents were distracted arguing over something. This was just perfect. It was just too perfect to waste.
While the two adults kept arguing over something her really didn't want or needed to know, he sneaked next to the kids and started picturing a plan. Wait. He was the great Uzumaki Naruto, the number unpredictable ninja! He didn't come up with plans! He acted on impulse! So, about ten seconds after he got next to the two kids, he made some funny faces, that the two kids found rather scary, took the candy and ran like hell before mommy and daddy had even realized what had happened and why their kids were crying.
Satisfied, and golfing down the candy he started doing what he was supposed to do, search for his partners, when he catches the sight of Sakura walking around, in what appears to be searching. His ninja instincts quickly act and he ducks behind a tree, far away from the pink haired girl's sight. When he evaluated the situation as safe, he dashed towards the place he thinks Sasuke and his team are.
Naruto decided to use his clones to search for them, it would be faster that way, and avoid being caught. After a few minutes and several minor disturbances and cases of destruction across the park, he found Sasuke, and mentally kicked himself for not finding such a good place to hide.
When he got there, Sasuke gave him a smirk that clearly said "I told you so", only irking Naruto further. After causing a mini clones explosion against fireballs, which gave them no choice but to get away from the hideout (a playhouse) due all of the unwanted attention. It was bound to bring Sakura and Kiba search in there after that. Naruto, then proceeded to warn them that the two were still looking and that had caught the remaining teammates.
They got silent and some time later they could all agree that they were bored as hell. The two members of team 7 immediately started arguing as what to do from that point on, while Shino kept quiet and together with Neji thought how these two could ever work together.
Neji, finally tired of hearing insults and threats thrown left and right, decided to suggest something. "Why don't we… "torture" Sakura and Kiba?"
""What?" Sasuke dropped Naruto in favor of listening what the Hyuuga had to say about it.
"You know, provoking a nightmare to both of them."
"You mean like using illusions on them?"
"First of all Naruto, Sasuke is the only one with a sharingan, and I doubt that he's able to perform any kind of genjustu with it. Second, I think it's much more fun to make them pay in real life."
"Pay? Pay for what?" Naruto inquired mildly interested in what Neji was proposing.
"Pay for cheating and growing up so much without us!"
The three nodded content with that. It just wasn't fair that the two of them had gotten so bigger all of the sudden and now were trying to boss them around! Who did they think they were? They were the same age as them! Even younger than some! It just wasn't fair from where they were standing.
Well, even though that was technically true, it wasn't the others who had gotten bigger, but they that had gotten smaller. And apparently they all thought there wasn't anything wrong with them. Like as if they were in that state two weeks ago.
Having made up their minds, they went after their targets, Shino still without speaking a word.
When they finally found them, they were calling out their names and looking around, but neither of the other baby shinobi were in sight. Naruto prepared to attack but was forcedly held back by Neji.
"What are you doing? They have no idea we are here! We could attack them now!"
"Be quiet!" he exclaimed hiding himself and Naruto behind the bushes again "Yes we could! But where would be the fun in that?"
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked giving a disapproving glare at Naruto.
"If we attacked them now, there would be no fun in that. But if we attack them when they are doing something important or in a time where we could humiliate them even more, that's the time."
"Oh I see. So by doing that they would be so humiliated that we wouldn't be able to stop laughing! I get it!" the blonde said. The other just rolled their eyes and kept their attention on their target.
After a few more minutes, deciding it was too hard to just wait for the perfect chance, the four gennin started making their chance by throwing tiny pieces of rock towards the two of them, causing a small "rock rain". "What the hell is going on?"
"Calm down Kiba! You'll scare everyone!"
"I don't care! There are rocks being thrown at me! I'll be calm when that isn't happening!"
"Don't be fool! Don't you see what this means?"
"That someone finally decided to start a throwing rocks national day?"
"No! This means that they are near! Who else would something like this?" she said as she tried to avoid the fragments to hit her face. They may be tiny, but they sure hurt as hell!
Kiba's face made a expression of comprehension before Sakura grabbed his arm and dragged him out of there, and into somewhere a bit more sheltered, all the while, the mysterious "rain" followed them all the while.
"Damn! We weren't able to take them to a more crowed place!" Naruto whispered as he ceased throwing rocks.
"Don't worry. We'll just keep observing them and annoy them, public or no public" Neji said, as all of them stopped rock throwing.
While the two just sat there discussing a trap to capture the four of them, they had zoned out, and staring boringly at them, yawning. Neji was actually close to be napping.
"Dude, wake up!" Sasuke said elbowing them. "We have to do something."
"I know, but what?" And as if that had been the magic words, in that moment a chance presented itself to them.
"Ok, all we have to do is wait and they'll come and reveal themselves to us. Or fall asleep." Sakura said, while Kiba nodded boringly. He kept listening and nodding at the girl, until the girl realized he wasn't paying attention and snapped standing up abruptly and hitting her head on top of their current "shelter", an abandoned, falling and huge wood playhouse. Ok, one of the walls was missing, but it was still a good shelter. "OW!"
"Crap! Are you ok? Sakura?" Kiba got next to her, not having to move that much and started looking for any signs of blood.
"I'm ok! Will you just keep attention for more than two seconds?" She snapped and looked at him, not noticing that they were so close. Whatever words she was about to say next died in her throat as she stared at Kiba's eyes, and both slowly leaned closer, trying to close the gap between the two. This is of course, until team awesome decided to interrupt the moment and launch a handful full of things that they had found in the ground towards the two of them.
This of course, despite being incredibly funny, leaves the three of them, Shino not being one to laugh, ever, laughing on the floor and easy targets.
As Sakura regains her senses she looks stomping towards them, a murderous glint in her eyes as she is covered by god knows what, and if her face red with anger or embarrassment, Kiba doesn't know which one is, but walks towards his fellow gennin, keeping a safe distance from the angered kunoichi.
"You guys are in so much trouble!" She roars, and doesn't even give the time for the three laughing gennin to realize what's happening before she is on to them. Kiba can only feel forry for them as he grabs Shino and starts walking off towards Akamaru.
Hey! I realized that I published this story over a year ago, and only has…. 10 chapters. Lame. Okay, anyway I tried to fit all of your requests here, I hope you liked it. I couldn't do the Kyuubi one, so sorry, and I already explained why the parents couldn't watch their kids a few chapters back^^''. This concludes their trip to park, so, yeah...
Hope you liked it anyway, and since I am on vacations I'll start updating, hopefully.
