Naruto of the Smash.
Chapter 12: Reunions, Old Friends, and New Troubles.
----
In the Third Hokage's office, he had already finished his paperwork. Now, he's facing Team Seven (with a few extra members) telling them about their first A-Rank (it had been moved from a C-Rank thanks to Zabuza).
"This is most distressing," he said after listening to their reports. "Sakura, Sasuke, you can leave."
Sasuke fumed, but he couldn't disrespect the Hokage, so he left. Sakura followed him, but not in the fangirl gaze she had when she became a ninja.
'We need to talk to Ino,' Sakura thought. "Warning her about Sasuke's change?" 'Yup. The Sasuke we know is losing itself…or it's a mask like Naruto's cluelessness.' "I doubt she'll listen, though. Shikamaru and Chouji might be shocked at you, but we STILL have to talk to Naruto about that sword." 'No kidding. He could have a minor copy, but I don't want to lose you through some kind of possession.' "Don't worry about me. I may be part of you, but I'm your guardian when Ino gets you with the Mind Transfer Jutsu."
Mewtwo, as a psychic Pokemon, had overheard their conversation. 'I should talk to Naruto-san about this,' he thought.
Only Kakashi, Mewtwo, Naruto, Sheena, Axl, and Clucky stayed.
"Is it true?" Sarutobi asked Naruto.
"Is what true?" he replied. "The part about the Four Sword, the Super Cucco, or the woman with foreign weapons that would probably kill us before Akatsuki can get ahold of us?"
Sarutobi blinked. 'Looks like a lot HAS happened to him while he was gone,' he thought. "I meant has part of the Senju Bloodline been eradicated in Kiri?"
"Yeah. I met the only survivor, but she and Zabuza were on their way to an island that's surrounded by Whirlpools. If anything, they were heading to Uzugakure, which is where my Mother was, right?"
"Yes, but I'm not sure how he found out about that place…"
"I can explain, Hokage-san," Axl said. "To those who wield bloodlines in Kiri, Uzugakure is known as the Promised Land. However, only a few captains know the way without actually sinking into the whirlpools guarding the place, and I believe Tazuna was one of them."
Kakashi was surprised. "So, Zabuza's going there because he knew it would be a safe haven for Haku?"
"Makes sense to me," Naruto said. "Zabuza DID treat her like his own daughter, but that was because they were on the road a lot."
Sarutobi nodded. "I'll have to make contact with the Rasenkage later," he said. "Right now, the status of Sheena, Mewtwo, Axl, and your pet chicken happen to be under the Uzumaki clan."
Sheena sighed in relief. 'Then he doesn't have to know about the hit I declined,' she thought.
"Now, everyone but Kakashi and Naruto are dismissed," Both Nin blinked in surprise. "I need to speak with them about these…developments."
Mewtwo teleported out of the room, Sheena had used Shadow (the summon) to phase out, and Axl turned into a random ANBU and walked out the door.
"Now, what's this about a bounty hunter wanting your head, Naruto?"
Naruto gulped. "Basically, she has a red hood, a picnic basket with foreign weapons in it, and a missile launcher that can pierce through anything. Don't be fooled by her innocent appearance. She's as deadly as Kyuubi would be, except less concentrated and can destroy innocents in the process."
"OH, PLEASE," Rao said to Naruto. "THE BITCH WOULDN'T LAY A FINGER ON ME EVEN IF SHE HAD SILVER! YOU, HOWEVER, NEED TO TRAIN HARDER IN ORDER TO BE MISSILE-PROOF."
'Thanks for the sentiment, Rao, but do I LOOK like I'm made of Metal?'
"THE METAL BOX COULD HAVE HELPED."
Kakashi frowned. "Hokage-san, Naruto's telling the truth. Although Axl had the ability to take the appearance of an opponent, Naruto somehow ran into that woman and has the bits of shrapnel in his arm to prove it."
"Do you have a picture?" Sarutobi asked them.
"I do," Naruto said, giving him the picture. He was surprised at the appearance of the woman, but moreso of the date it was taken. "She's older than she looks, Old Man, just…she's very deadly and works with stuff no ninja here can comprehend."
"This woman will be listed as a Triple-S Class threat in the Bingo Books, then," he replied. "Now, if there's anything else you would like to tell me, then go ahead and make note of it."
"That's all, Hokage-sama," Kakashi said.
"Very well, then. You're both dismissed."
Kakashi and Naruto disappeared through a whirlwind of leaves.
Sarutobi frowned. 'Great…more paperwork and a danger no one can defend against. What is with you and trouble, Naruto-kun?'
----
When Naruto got back to the Uzumaki House, he was surprised at how much it changed.
'It looks bigger than normal,' he thought. 'Rao, you don't think…'
"LOOKS LIKE YOUR HAREM WAS BUSY," she replied.
Naruto frowned at that. 'They're not my harem. They're just close friends who I'm attracted to.'
"SO, THEY'RE YOUR HAREM. DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS WALTZ AGAIN, OR ARE YOU GOING TO CHECK IT OUT?"
Naruto groaned, and entered the house to see that it turned into an actual clan compound.
"You like it, Naruto-kun?" he heard the familiar Twili voice say. Midna had hugged him from behind.
"It looks like a mansion than a house, Midna-hime," he replied. "How did you get the lumber to expand this place…or do I not want to know?"
"The Hokage had let us use some spare wood he wasn't using. Apparently, it was once a headquarters for something…I don't know what it was, but he said it needed to go."
(Cutaway to the former ROOT HQ)
Homura, Koharu, and Danzo were surprised. What was once a good headquarters had disappeared, much to their shock.
"Why did the meeting place disappear?" Danzo asked them.
"Hokage's orders," Homura said.
"DAMN YOU, SARUTOBI!"
(End Cutaway)
"So, what is it?" he asked the former Twilight Princess.
Before she could respond, Felicia (in cat form) had pounced Naruto before turning back into a human form.
"What happened to you?" she asked the whiskered young man. "You look like you went face-first into a missile launcher and survived."
'I'm not that unlucky, Felicity-chan,' Naruto thought. "In a way…I kind of did."
Now, the catgirl was starting to get worried. "You ran into Bulletta, didn't you?"
"Yeah, and Clucky saved my ass before I became blood on the grass." 'That was a stupid rhyme.'
"That explains why this Cucco is here," Yoruichi said, noticing the chicken. "How are we going to feed it?"
"I…haven't planned that far ahead," Naruto said, "but I WAS planning to keep him away from the Akimichi."
"I can see why," Blaze said. "His power's dormant, but as high as mine when I turn into Burning Blaze."
Naruto sighed. "Was anyone here for me when I was away?"
Everyone who was there shrugged.
"Great. If you'll excuse me, I'll be getting a nice long rest."
He was stopped by all four women in the vicinity. "Not just yet," Yoruichi said.
"We're going to have a little fun before you get to rest," Midna added.
Naruto gulped. 'Either I'm lucky or someone's laughing at me right now.'
----
Outside of Konoha's gates, what looked like a Genin Team with a Jounin sensei had walked into the village itself. However, their attire happens to be foreign to the villagers...heck, they're not even from this world in particular, but no one there cares.
The first 'Genin' had a black jacket with a blue-and-red shirt with shoes that had zippers on them, and his hair resembled that of one of Naruto's old acquaintances, only brown in nature.
The second was a girl that was wearing similar attire to her teammate's, only pink in nature. She also had long red hair.
The final 'Genin teammate' had silver hair that spanned past his yellow jacket. He also had blue-green eyes that were mixed with both purity and impurity.
Their sensei had long crimson hair and green eyes, but he was also wearing a Jounin Vest that resembled Konoha's own, but with chakram pads where the spiral usually was.
The first Genin noticed the uncertainty. "This place feels...different," he said.
"No kidding," the silver-haired kid said. "I'm starting to wonder why this wasn't on the King's radar in the first place, considering there's darkness within everyone's heart."
That question would be answered when our hero was limping down the street.
"Ah, I forgot about his condition."
"No kidding," the girl said. "Looks like being separated from the Darkness has toned your senses to a minimum, Riku."
"It's been a long time, okay, Kairi? Besides, the Darkness within him has subsided a bit, but I still wonder if he's pulling enough pranks to keep us on our toes."
"Either way," their Sensei said, "he could help us out. After all, it IS his homeworld."
"KIT, OLD FRIENDS AT 2:00," Rao said, motioning him towards the "team."
Naruto noticed it as well. 'What are THEY doing here?' he thought. 'From what Sarutobi told me, this place has been free from Heartless for ten years, so there's no reason for them to be here.'
"YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT THE OLD MAN DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE CALLED IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND THANKS TO MY BRETHREN AND MYSELF, THE HEARTLESS AND UNBIRTHS ARE AFRAID TO TRIFLE WITH HIGHER FORMS OF DARKNESS. YOU HAVE ME TO THANK FOR KEEPING YOUR HEART SAFE, NARUTO-KUN."
Naruto nodded. 'Let's see what they're here for...' He then walked over to the team arriving. "You do realize that you guys need a passport in order to enter Konoha, right?"
"Odd coincidence," the red-haired man said. "We're here for the Chuunin Exams, and I'm just registering my team from...well, Namigakure."
Naruto smirked. "Nice try, Axel. I was just IN Nami for a month, and had I known of a Ninja Academy there, Namigakure, as you called it, would've been well-defended against Gatou."
Axel sighed. "Can't blame someone for trying, even if they don't exist. Nice to see you again, Naruto."
"Likewise, you guys."
"By any chance did anyone make it here before we did?" the brown-haired boy asked him.
"Other than Lady Death with the Red Hood, no, Sora. Which reminds me, if you see her, stay on the defensive. For some odd reason, she stole some of Tony Stark's weaponry pre-Iron Man, and I was on the brunt end of the Jericho Cluster."
Axel and Riku flinched. On different occasions, they had met up with Bulletta, and it wasn't pretty.
Naruto nodded. Nobodies and Users of Darkness were on the Darkhunter list as well as Human Sacrifices like himself, and if it wasn't for Clucky, he would've put the whole village in danger. "So, what brings you guys here?"
Riku sighed. "Is there any place we can talk in private?" he asked his fellow Darkness user. "We don't want anyone to know of our origins just yet."
"Yeah," he replied, "but you're going to need an audience with the Hokage, considering I only told him about my trip from a certain point of view."
Sora chuckled. "Nice one. Was that from Yoda?" Naruto nodded. "Great. So, where IS the Hokage, anyways?"
"Follow me." The resident Human Sacrifice led the psuedo-team to the Hokage Tower.
----
The Hokage was surprised that Naruto brought MORE strange visitors from other worlds, but more-so when he heard the stories about the Heartless, the Nobodies, and Organization XIII.
"Looks like your training trip extended through not just Pliskin's Jurisdiction, Naruto," he said. "Still, I HAVE heard of the Keyblade, it's just been a long time that I've seen a trio in action before."
"That explains why this world isn't in danger of any Heartless," Sora said. "Other than Naruto carrying a form of darkness himself."
"Yes, the Kyuubi IS a force to be reckoned with, but the Keyhole you're referring to happens to be sealed a LONG time ago."
"That's not what we're here for," Riku interjected. "Apparently, someone from this world is siding with one of our enemies after finding an otherworldly power. We're just here to neutralize it before it spreads to other unprotected worlds." Sora, Kairi, and Axel nodded at that.
Sarutobi took a long puff at his pipe. "Even so, it's best if you make your appearance as traveling mercenaries under my jurisdiction. If people knew there were mercenaries, they would try to get a hit on Naruto here."
"That would explain the engulfing darkness," Axel said. "All of their hatred is directed at him because of the 'you-know-what,' right?" Sarutobi nodded. "That's screwed up, man. REALLY screwed up."
"There's also the sanity issue with my teammate," Naruto said, interjecting. "Sasuke's been trying to find out how I was able to know this many people outside of Konoha and, knowing the Civilian Council, he's trying to get me to teach him under THEIR orders."
"And you're not trying to break the World Order," Kairi said. Naruto nodded in confirmation, considering that he's angry at them already.
"The only ones who know are Kakashi-Sensei, Iruka-Sensei, and Grampa Saru, and THEY'RE okay with it."
"I'm right here, you know," Sarutobi said. Naruto sheepishly chuckled while the otherworlders sweat-dropped. "As of which, I'm enlisting you four under the protection of the Uzumaki clan."
"Actually," Sora said, embarassed, "it's really eight."
Sarutobi didn't understand what he meant, but Naruto did. 'Oh, he's referring to Roxas, Namine, and Xion…but who's the eighth one?' he thought.
"DON'T TELL ME YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE TRIP TO NEVADA ALREADY…" Rao said.
'Nevada…oh, you're referring to the one with the pumpkins, right?'
"NO, THE ONE WITH THE STICK FIGURES AND THE CAMERA." Rao was sarcastic, by the way. "BETTER EXPLAIN IT TO THE OLD MAN BEFORE HE GETS AN ANEURYSM."
'Right.' "It's a long story that involves the training trip," Naruto said. "I also met someone there…although she's a bit of a flirt."
The Professor of Jutsu nodded, knowing Naruto's secrecy about the trip. "But what about the other three?" he asked him. "It's not like they'll appear out of thin air…"
"Actually," a ghostly voice said, "we are…sort of."
To the surprise of everyone in the room, a young man with blond hair, a young woman with light blond, and another girl with blue hair had appeared next to Sora, Kairi, and Riku.
"Guys, I know it's great to see you again," Naruto said, "but we have to stop with the sudden appearances. The old man's about to suffer from a heart attack."
"Sorry," the young man said. "Force of habit."
"Hokage-san," Sora said, scratching his head in embarrassment, "meet Roxas, Namine, and Xion. They're basically our…well, other Personas, so to speak."
"This is most surprising," the old Hokage said, plainly. "Well, at least it answers my question, considering that we're having quite the gathering."
"Wait," Riku said. "Gathering? Naruto, don't tell me…"
Naruto shook his head. "I may be loud, but I'm not stupid," he replied. "They just started popping up after I became a Ninja in the first place. Besides, one can only keep it intact for so long."
"True, but there's something the King neglected to mention," Roxas said. "I can't put my finger on it, but…" In shocking realization, the Key of Destiny remembered one of the trips he and Axel made while they were with the Organization. "Axel, you remember the time we went to Nerima?"
"Don't get me started on that, Roxas!" Axel yelled. To the looks of the others, the Flurry of the Dancing Flames sighed and explained. "Well, let's just say that due to the increasing Darkness and Chaotic Nature, Nerima was basically a breeding ground for Heartless and Nobodies, all of them centered on hatred for an exact someone."
"It also made the whole Organization look like they crapped their pants…except for Demyx, because he actually did that."
Sora was surprised. If anything can scare a Nobody like that, it must have been dangerous. "Who was the guy they hated?" he asked them.
"The guy that was irrelevant to the mission," Xion said, "yet vital to it at the same time. Ranma Saotome, I believe?"
Naruto recognized the name. "Oh, Ranma-sensei?" he asked them. "Yeah, he had a TON of enemies, and some of them spawned from guys he hadn't met before. But why not take Panda-Baka?"
"Well, for one," Axel said, "the guy was too stupid for his own good, and from what I can see, making Nobodies out of these guys would result in making lesser ones, or the sub-servants. Mine happened to be Assassins while Roxas's were Samurai. Finally, the two corresponding incidents nicknamed Saffron and Wedding Crash made the crap hit the fan and the World Order actually forbade, F-O-R-B-A-D-E, other-worlders from stepping foot onto that world for sanity reasons. Got it memorized?"
"If that's the case," Riku said, "then how did Naruto MEET Ranma in the first place?"
Naruto knew the answer…and so did Axel, Roxas, and Xion, considering they've met him before. "Liftoff by mallet," all four of them replied.
"I kind of met him outside the Smash Mansion after he landed," Naruto said, sheepishly.
Sarutobi shook his head. "While it's interesting to hear," he said, "I'm actually delaying a meeting with the Council right now, but I'll mark in you all as visitors from another nation. In the meantime, you…eight…are dismissed." With that notion, everyone left for town in their own way. 'I'm getting too old for this shit…but it IS rather amusing.'
----
On the way to the Ramen Stand Naruto goes to (the others with him were given a tour of Konoha), something had caught his senses.
'Oh, COME ON!' he yelled inwardly. 'At least Snake's original with THAT disguise.' "Konohamaru, rocks aren't square."
The box 'eeped' and burst into smoke…with three kids shown in there.
"Udon, you used too much gunpowder again," the kid with the spiked hair said. He then turned to Naruto and smirked. "Looks like you found us again, Boss."
Naruto smirked. "Well, intense training can enhance your senses," he replied. "That, and I know someone who does it on a daily basis. So, what do you guys want?"
"Aren't you going to play Ninja with us?" Naruto's eyes widened…mostly from surprise.
"A ninja playing 'Ninja'?" they heard a female voice ask them. It was Sakura, apparently, but she changed her look to suit that of a real Kunoichi's. "I'd make a comment about that, but I forgot where the Yamanaka Flower Shop is."
Naruto was surprised. "Sakura, did you actually train yourself?" he asked her.
"No," she said. "I'm training under Fujibiyashi-sensei in order to learn how to be a true Kunoichi." "I'm starting to wonder how Naruto even MEETS these women!" Inner Sakura said.
"Hey Boss," Konohamaru said, interrupting the conversation. "Is she your…" In emphasis, Konohamaru held up his pinky.
"She's just a teammate," Naruto said, shrugging. 'Although I can't help but wonder why she's pushing herself this hard…'
Before Rao could make a retort, the Hokage's Grandson basically broke the straw on the camel's back.
"Well, at least you have good taste. There's no WAY that I can see you date someone like HER."
There was an abrupt silence…except for Sakura's rising Killing Intent. "Forget finding Ino. This kid's going to pay!"
"Konohamaru," Naruto said, "run. Now."
With that said, the four of them ran from Sakura because of the flaring temper she was giving, but Konohamaru had ran into something…or someone.
"What the hell?" the man in the weird cat outfit and face paint said. "What gives, you little midget!"
"Kankuro," the sandy blond-haired woman said, "put him down or else we'll get into trouble."
"Just a second, Temari. The guy ruined my outfit."
Before Kankuro could reply, a shiruken had cut them off.
"What the heck?"
"I suggest you put the kid down," Naruto said, appearing in front of the two. "Wars have started over less, anyways."
Kankuro did so, but only because Konohamaru kicked him in the shin. Taking a good look at the newcomer, he scoffed. 'This guy's more of a joke than a shinobi,' he thought. 'Still, is he holding back?'
'Well, the pink-haired one just got her first dose of training,' Temari thought, 'but the guy with the blond hair…if it weren't for the marks, he'd look like a younger version of Konoha's Yondaime.' "Sorry about my brother," she said. "He can be very…tempermental." 'Unlike another sibling I know, and HE'S going to be pissed.'
"I can see that," Naruto said, making idle conversation. "What is he, some kind of…gay clown or something?"
"ARE YOU STALLING AGAIN?" Rao asked, ignoring the fact that Kankuro's getting angry. "BECAUSE IF YOU ARE, I THINK YOU KNOW WHY."
'And I know you know what they're hiding,' Naruto replied. 'Besides, after looking at Crowler, I had to make that comment sometime. I wonder…what smells like sand and blood at the same time?'
"ONE OF THE NINE BIJU, NARUTO-KUN. AND THIS ONE'S BASICALLY A PSYCHO."
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you for the Gay Clown comment," Kankuro said, reaching for his pack.
"For an apology, I'll give you three," Naruto said. "One, the kid you tried to kill is the Hokage's Grandson, so it would have sparked a civil war between Konoha and Suna, if your hitai-ate is any indication. Two, my other teammate's in the tree right now, waiting to strike. Three, and one that's vital to your safety, the guy with the gourd NEXT to my teammate would be angry at you…and possibly try to kill you."
That shocked both Suna-Nins and Sasuke. Before anyone could reply, a sandstorm brewed between them, revealing the nin in question. To the surprise of the locals, the two Suna nins were scared shittless from the boy's aura.
"Kankuro," he said, "you're an embarrassment to the village."
Kankuro was petrified…mostly. "It's not my fault, Gaara. They started it…"
Gaara growled. "Shut up, or I'll kill you." He turned to Naruto. "I apologize for my teammate's behavior."
'Well, I was TRYING to get a look at you,' Naruto thought. "I'm used to it, although you guys aren't exactly used to mountain life."
"That's right," Sakura said. "You guys are Suna-nin, right?"
Temari scowled. "Boy, are you a greenhorn," she replied. "We're here because of the Chuunin Exams hosted in Konoha."
"Kankuro," Gaara said, "Temari. Baki's waiting for us back at the hotel room."
Before they could leave, Sasuke decided to make himself known. "Why leave without introducing yourself?" he asked them.
"Not interested," the sand-user replied, shocking Sasuke. "However, the blond catches my interest."
'Why is it always the dead-last?' Sasuke thought. 'I am an Uchiha.' Yeah, you can see where his thoughts are going.
"Naruto Uzumaki," Naruto replied. "And you are?"
There was a short pause…then the man spoke. "Sabaku no Gaara. I will look forward to facing you in the exams, Naruto Uzumaki." The three nin left in a veil of sand.
Sasuke gave Naruto a glare. "Why you?" he asked him.
"I'm not at liberty to ask that question, teme," Naruto replied. "But if you want, you'll have to wait until we face each other in the exams…IF Kakashi-Sensei would let us."
Before Sasuke could antagonize him any further, Naruto replaced himself with a log.
'I wonder if it's too late to rearrange my kill list,' Sasuke thought.
The Chuunin Exams are going to be hit by a hurricane…and his name is Naruto Uzumaki.
To be continued…
----
Omake 3: Naruto vs Gaara…revamped.
--
"This is interesting," Gaara said, Sand Armor breaking. "This is interesting…UZUMAKI NARUTO!"
Sure enough, Naruto could see the sand from the gourd forming into a body.
"Well this is fine and dandy," Naruto said. 'He's turning into the Ichibi. Not good. Kyuubi, any ideas?'
"FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE, NARUTO-KUN!" Rao replied. "USE A SUMMON TO COUNTERACT THE GIANT PHASE!"
'Okay…let's just hope this works.'
"DESERT COFFIN!" Gaara yelled, engulfing Naruto.
Before Gaara could attempt the crushing method…
"SUMMONING JUTSU!" Naruto yelled.
To everyone's surprise, it wasn't Gamabunta…or Rao for that matter.
It was a giant eyeball…no, scratch that. It was a giant PUFF-ball, pun intended. One with markings over it like an artifact from an ancient civilization.
It was the Pokemopolis Jigglypuff, aka, Gigalypuff.
"NICE GOING, KIT," Rao said. "YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL."
'Gaara's already asleep, Rao.'
"What in God's name is THAT thing!?!" Sasuke asked himself. 'As if Naruto had enough tricks in his bag ALREADY, he's turning into a clown with his balloon…thing.'
Shukaku was laughing. "You think you can stop me with a giant puffball-like thing!" he yelled. "It's not like it will crush me with that club!"
Gigallypuff was angry at that, but it took out the "club" and…well, you know how Godzilla entered a city? Well, apparently, the Hidden Village of Konoha was misinterpreted as a stage because of the invasion in progress, and…it sang.
For the humans, the effect was instantaneous. Temari, Kankuro, Sasuke, Naruto and Pakkun fell asleep instantly because of their close proximity (Gaara was already asleep and Sakura was knocked unconscious). Later on, both the invading Suna/Oto Shinobi and some of the Konoha nin were feeling the effects. Even Orochimaru and Sarutobi couldn't resist falling asleep mid-battle.
"No…I just…got out…" But apparently, not even Shukaku could stay awake.
That event marked one of the strangest moments in Shinobi history as one of its more…peaceful victories.
Unfortunately, Gigalypuff had marked the Hokage Monument after the song ended, and naturally, they all blamed Naruto the next day.

(A/n: Lame, I know, but I was in temporal Writer's Block.
If anyone got the reference of the Omake, you get a cookie. Seriously, why can't ALL wars end like that?
Also, the "Gay Clown" line spawned from YuGiOh the Abridged Series. Seriously, with the face-paint, Kankuro would pass of as a gay Ventriloquist, but they don't know about the puppets…yet.
I probably should mention this now. I'm not crossing over with any TV Shows or books. Apparently, Square-Enix has a manga out called Soul Eater, which takes place in an academy in Nevada. Since there's a "Six-Degrees" crossover involved, I kind of added their resident 'Blair Witch' to the Harem (and I used quotes to emphasize that. The name's within the pun).
Now that I think about it, I also alluded to Ranma ½ with Axel, Roxas, and Xion having a mission that ended horribly and Naruto meeting Ranma outside Nerima…well, considering Kazuki's married to Rumiko, you'll get the idea. And it takes place DURING a 'moment' involving Organization XIII in fandom view, making it filler.
Suggestions are welcome, harem or otherwise. Considering the serious nature of the Chuunin Exam arc, Sasuke won't be pranked as much (which is a bummer because it's what made this fic gold in the first place), but during the time he WOULD be pranked, he'll get it.
Oh, and if anyone asks, Naruto met Konohamaru during the month-long break sometime after he and Hiashi had that talk.
Until then, read and review.)
