"So, what do the two of you want," I asked the eternal lost boy and the irresponsible captain.

"Well," said Ryoga, "we need your help finding someone."

"For what," I asked.

"For this years Miss Anime Beauty Contest," exclaimed Tylor. "Me and my crew are hosting it on my ship. I have a list of the people who are competing." He hands me the list. "The problem we are having is a friend of yours. Check the list."

I start reading. The list had many names like Lime, the cast of Love Hina, Shela-Shela, Washu, female Ranma, and many others. I stop dead cold at the last name.

"I refuse to help you find her," I said. I let out a killer intent that would send Orochimaru to resurrect his mommy, jump into her arms, and start sucking his thumb. "After everything she has put me through, I never want to see her again."

"We know how you feel about Mihoshi," began Ryoga, but I cut him off.

"Good then the discussion is over."

"We aren't asking you to do it for free," said the captain. "We are going to make you a judge for the contest. All you need to do is find this one person and then you might never see her again. Think of the perks. The women!"

Kiyone sent a death glance at the Tylor that shut him up on the spot. He was like any man thought with his groin.

"I'll get back to you in a bit," I said as I went to start writing the next chapter. "Boys, will you do the honors?"

"Darthvalgaav does not own any anime series or it's characters," said the two of them at the same time.

Chapter 10: Genin Life Begins

"Must fight urge to…kill," said Gaara.

"I'm right behind you bro," said Naruto. They where doing a task that was not meant to be done by any shinobi. It was a completely useless skill. It was knitting!

Now you might be wondering why they are knitting. The answer to that is simple. As academy students working on teamwork, they are given homework that is considered D rank missions. This frees up the Genin of the village to do real missions and gives the students time to work out the kinks in their teamwork. Plus, since they are students, they don't get paid.

Future Team 3's mission: help out a little old lady with her knitting.

"Why is my sister getting out of this," said the 12 year old Gaara.

"She watching 'All My Shinobi' with the hag," replied the other 12 year old. "Don't whine, we drew straws and she won."

"We are demon containers! We are like, the best of the best. Why are we doing this?" As Gaara said this, a waterfall of tears came from his eyes.

"Would you rather be doing this with Yuu," asked Naruto with a smirk. Even after the Kazekage found out that Yuu has indeed a male, he tried to arrange a marriage with him and Gaara. Yuu was very happy with this situation, but Gaara…wasn't.

Gaara was about to say something, but Temari and the old woman same in from the other room. Temari, 13 now, had her hair in the famous four pig tail style. She was wearing a white shirt and skirt with a red sash and a fishnet underneath it. On her back was her fan.

"Thank you for your help boys," said the little old lady that would remind anyone of their favorite grandmother. "Would you like any sugar cookies before you leave?"

Naruto and Temari's eyes went wide remembering the last time Gaara had sugar. The grabbed Gaara while politely declining her offer.

In the past few years Naruto had changed drastically. He was dressed in a red gi shirt with no sleeves and matching red baggy pants. Over that was a white sleeveless trench coat with the kanji for foxy written on the back. As always, his coat was left open. His arms were bare so that everyone could see his very muscular arms. On his side was the Kitsunesaiga, which went with him not matter where he was. His face had little baby fat, even though he ate about ten bowls of ramen a day.

Gaara was dressed in a black outfit with a white sash that went across his chest. On his back was a new gourde. Of course he didn't need it out here in the desert, sand was everywhere.

As the walked over to the Cat Café to get dinner, they ran into some old friends. Naga was walking towards them with Ran. Ran was still wearing a brown spandex outfit that showed all the curves. Naga was going with the lees is more look. There was a black sash that went around her breasts and nothing else in the upper region. She also wore a long white skirt that ended a few inches from her feet. On her arms where black armbands that seemed to sag near her hands. Her purple hair was tied into a ponytail that had a metal snakes head attached to its tip making it look like a snake was coming out of her head. In her arms was a large scroll.

"Hey guys," called out Naga as she saw her friends. "How was your 'homework'?"

"Fine," said Gaara as he eyed the scroll. "What do you have there?"

"I won it on Nin-bay," said the snake lover. "It's a snake summoning contract for cobras. The guy who sold it to me even added a couple of jutsus." As she went on with her deal, Ran's face became twisted with anger.

"SHUT UP," she screamed. A second later she stormed away.

"What's with her," asked Temari. Naga let out a sigh and explained to the group that she had been out bid again for a green spandex outfit by FlamesOfYouth once again. Meanwhile, a certain man in Leaf was offering his students more green spandex, which two of them refused. (Where do you think he gets all of it?)

"Well," said Naga, "I gotta go. Gotta get up early so I can meet up with the rest of the team before we get our sensei." Naga was on the same team as Makoto Fuwafuwa and Yuu Yuudai. Everyone felt pity for the teammates of that cross dressing, gender confused male. There was a rumor going around that the Jonin where fighting to get out of being a sensei out of fear of ending up with that team.

The three of them continued on there way and where soon standing in the Chinese Café. This was one of the only three restaurants left in town. It was hard, but the place seemed to keep up to the increased taxes that the daimyo keep placing on them.

Inside, Team Three saw the other team that would be graduating tomorrow. Ryuu Itami was sitting down, eating dumplings, in a larger version of the outfit that he had worn in the last tournament. To his right was Ryouta Chikushou. Like Ryuu, Ryouta's outfit hadn't changed much. The only difference was that he was taller and had spikes on his shoulders. The final member of the group was Shinobu Kyuui. She was dressed in a grey trench coat that was zipped up and grey pants.

Shinobu looked up and quickly looked down when she saw her secret crush walk in. She had never told anyone her feelings for the blond fox boy, not even her teammates. She knew she wasn't the only one who had a crush on him, but the others who followed him around would end up with their memories erased by his number one fan girl.

Naruto, not noticing the red headed female, saw his mother and his grandparents at a table near the kitchen. Miroku and Sango where in the village for his graduation that would be taking place tomorrow. Mitsukai was there as well, dressed in a white outfit that looked like a dress version of what Sesshomaru used to wear with a metal spiky belt (no tail thingy).

As they sat down Shampoo came out with fifteen bowls of ramen. Ten where for Naruto and the rest where for everyone else.

"Shampoo makes these for husband," said Shampoo as she set down the bowl. "Is O.K., yes?"

"Ya," replied Naruto, "its fine. Thanks for the meal." He stiffened as Shampoo put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the check.

"Shampoo do anything for husband." With that, the Amazon left.

"I knew he was my grandson," exclaimed the old monk as he laughed. "I remember when I was your age. Just remember to ask if they would mind bearing your child. The ladies couldn't keep their hands off of me."

"Maybe that was because the wanted to beat you into a bloody pulp," replied his wife who sent him an angry glare. "Naruto, don't end up like this old fool. Women aren't…GAARA but the book away." Gaara didn't reply as he continued to read his favorite orange book.

The night continued without much else happening, to them at least. On the other side of the village, Taiki was worried about the Genin tournament. This would be his fourth time taking it. No matter how high his grades where (his scores where at least chunin level) his physical abilities keep him from advancing. It was bad enough losing to Gaara but he was weaker than an eight year old!

"The injustice of it all," he cried. "I am superior to all those fool. Why Kami must I be punished for my brilliance?" It seemed having his ass handed to him many times had not humbled him. As he continued on his was while ranting he saw a figure in a black robe enter the village by slipping past the guards.

"Hmm, maybe I can use this." Taiki followed the intruder into a small bar not to far from the gate. He observed him for a while and then approached him with great confidence.

"Hello mister missing Leaf Nin," said Taiki as he pushed up his glasses. The stranger looked shocked.

"How did you know," he asked.

"You're still wearing your Leaf headband and I saw you sneak in."

"Listen you little…"

"Shut up," interrupted Taiki. "I have a proposition for you that will benefit us both. But first I must know more about you like your name and what you did that made you a missing-nin." The stranger was quite for a moment.

"My name is Mizuki," he said. "I recently tried to steal the Forbidden Scroll, but I was caught."

"I see. Well then the information should help you. There are two people in this village that, if killed, will help get me into the shinobi program and you back into chunin life style."

"I don't see how that can happen," replied Mizuki.

"Well maybe this will can your mind. Tell me have you ever heard of the demon vessels of Kyuubi and Shukaku?"

Later that night, Naruto and Mitsukai where having a light workout before bed in their backyard. Aoi watched as Mitsukai sent a fury of punches towards her brother who dodged and blocked with grace. Naruto, realizing that it was close to her bedtime, gave her a flick to the forehead that stopped her (more like Itachi then Tsunade).

"Ahhh," she screamed. "Why can't I beat you?"

"I don't know," replied Naruto with a grin. "Maybe because I'm older, bigger, and have more experience?"

Mitsukai looked at him and let out a sigh. She respected him more than anyone else in the village. He was the first one to ever show her any kind of kindness. In his spare time he trained her and was helping her to reach for her demonic powers. But, she would never tell him how she felt.

"That doesn't matter," she said. "I should still be able to at least hit you once."

"Maybe tomorrow squirt. Right now it's time for bed."

The Next Day

Temari had gotten up early to make a good impression and to make sure Gaara would also. He had a habit of being late due to those books of his. She showered, dried off, and got dressed. After that she made herself a quick breakfast which she ate quickly. Seeing as Gaara hadn't come down she decided to see what the problem was.

"How can a guy who never sleeps be late in the morning," she said as she walked up the stairs. "I bet he's reading those books again." Without knocking, she opened the door to find Gaara watching the TV with greet interest.

"Oh no," said Gaara as he moved his sand to hide what he was watching.

"Was that what I think it was," asked his sister with her teeth gritted.

"No, I-I don't know what your taking about," stammered Gaara.

"Mother," came a voice for the TV.

"YOU'RE INTO THAT?" That being said, Temari moved at lightning speed to see what he was watching. What she saw shocked her more than anything she had seen before.

"You're watching Bambi," she cried out. Then she started to laugh. Very, very hard. Gaara turned off the TV and stormed out of the room. His face was beet red.

"The world must never know," was all he said as he made his way towards the academy.

Naruto woke up to something next to him. Something warm. Kirara was the first thing that came to his mind, but remember that she like to sleep next to Mitsukai. He slowly opened his eyes which became white dishes in a few seconds. There was Shampoo, in her bra and panties, sleeping next to him.

Suddenly he felt a large wave of killer intent. He slowly turned his head to she is grandmother standing at his door. She was giving him the same look she gave her husband when she found him being a pervert.

"Its mot what you think," cried Naruto. This, however, caused everyone else in the house to run to his room and find out what was going on. Miroku gave him a thumbs up. Aoi brought out her paper fan. Mitsukai just wondered what was going on.

"Airen," said Shampoo as she chose this moment to wake up. She got up and gave Naruto a kiss on the check.

"This is going to be painful," said Naruto as waterfalls of tears came out of his eyes.

An hour later, Team Three was sitting at their table at the academy. Temari was still laughing her head off while Gaara was trying to ignore her. Naruto looked like he had come out of a bar fight and lost miserably.

"What happened to you," asked Gaara.

"Don't ask. What's with your sister?"

"Don't ask."

"Hello Gaara," said Yuu as he walked in the door, waving his arms so Gaara would notice him. Over the years his pink hair had grown and looked like it went through a curling iron. He was wearing a blue female battle kimono that was altered to make him look like he had breasts.

Gaara simple hid in a cocoon of sand.

"Let's move it," said Makoto as he tried to get in. He was wearing a blue shirt and grey pants. On his back was his clan's symbol.

"O.K. my keiki's," said the principle. "Today you all graduate. Now before I tell you your jonin senseis, I have a present for ya all." He handed them all a pineapple which exploded in their faces. "HAHAHA. Now for the teams. Team Three has Baki. Team Six (Naga, Yuu, and Makoto) has Kigi. And Team Eleven has Oirusando. That is all. Bye-bye now." With that, Principle Kuno left.

A few minutes later, Baki came into the room and told his team to meet him on the roof. When they got there he began the introductions.

"My name is Baki and I'm going to be your jonin sensei. Now before we begin I would like you all to tell me about your selves."

"I'll go first," said Temari. "My name is Temari and I'm a wind user. I like chestnuts, my friends, my brother, and botany. I dislike squid and people who are mean to my brother. My dream is to become the most powerful wind user in the world."

"My name is Gaara. I like porn and my friends. I dislike people who try to take away my porn, people who try to kill me, boys who hit on my sister, and people who betray my trust. My dream is to become Kazekage or to become a Super Pervert like Jiraiya." When Gaara said Super Pervert, his sand shot into the air and shaped it's self into the kanji for super pervert.

"My name is Naruto. I like to train, my family, my friends, and ramen. I dislike being hit on the head by my mothers fan, the three minutes it takes ramen to heat up, and the idiots in the Leaf Village. My dream is to become Kazekage so that I can create a home for all the demons, half demons, and demon vessels that need a home."

'Interesting group.' "O.K. now that that's out of the way, I want to talk about…" Baki was cut off as a giant shuriken was stopped by Gaara's sand shield. The person who threw said object appeared before them.

"Impressive for a demon," said Mizuki.

"Who are you," demanded Baki.

"Just a guy trying to get rid of your demon problem. Also I have a score to settle with the Kyuubi." Mizuki points to Temari.

"Moron," said Naruto. "I'm Kyuubi's container."

"I was close. Anyways, I'm going to finish what was started in Leaf." Mizuki grabbed the other shuriken that was on his back. "Death to all demons," he shouted as he flung it at the trio.

However, Temari pulled out her fan and created a gust of wind that stopped the shuriken in its tracks. This shocked Mizuki.

"Why are you helping them? Are you some kind of demon lover?"

"These are my friends and family you're talking about," said Temari. "I would protect them even if they were squids." Everyone sweat dropped to this.

"Lets get rid of this fool," said Gaara as the sand began to rise around him.

"I can't wait," said Naruto.

Naruto began to make a new set of hand signs. "Kitsune Style: Foxfire Inferno!" A blast of green flame came out of his mouth. At the same time Gaara said, "Tanuki Style: Sand Shuriken!" Then, together they said "Demon Combo Style: Glass Shuriken!" Gaara's sand had gone threw Naruto's fire and came out as spears of glass moving very fast. Mizuki didn't react in time and was impaled all over his body by the attack. The three of them then turned to face their sensei.

"So," said Gaara, "you where saying?"

"Never mind you all pass I was going to give you to test your teamwork and your ability to kill the enemy. Meet me at training field three on Monday."

"Yes sensei," said all three of them. With that they went to tell Aoi, who was waiting with her parents to meet them, the good news.

As I finished typing I went to check up on my other story. '54 reviews, not bad.'

Now I had to make a very hard decision. Should I find that pain in my ass so I can judge a beauty contest or be content with the piece I had now.

"Thinking about what they said," said Kiyone who was standing at the door.

"Ya. I mean, the contest is on Tylor's ship which means you can get off this planet. But, that means Mihoshi will also be there as well and you know what happens when she's around."

Kiyone walked over to where I was sitting and looked me right in the eye.

"Whatever you decide, I'll go along with." With that she got up and left.

I sighed. I knew what I had to do. I didn't want to do it because Kiyone would be leaving and I'd be in a world of hurt. But it was the right thing to do. Damn my morals.

"I better find her," I said to myself.
