"I'm sorry, you cannot enter this room, Naruto." Sai was staring his teammate down.
"But why?"
"Because it's the Jonin Christmas party. You have to be a Jonin to be here." Sai's expression never changed.
"That sucks!" Naruto was disappointed, he wanted to join the party it sounded like they were having fun in there.
He heard a shriek that he was sure came from Anko, "Ibiki! Keep your hands to yourself!" And he strained his neck to see over Sai's shoulder. Sai simply moved and blocked his view.
"Naruto, I need to ask you to leave."
"Naruto, you aren't giving Sai a hard time are you?" Genma's voice came from behind him.
Naruto froze. "Umm no, of course not."
"Because if you were I could always let Lady Tsunade know that you didn't help much with the decorating. I'm sure she'd be glad to find something else for you to do."
"Oh no! I was just saying good night to Sai, that's all." Naruto ducked around the hokage guard and took off. "See you tomorrow Sai!"
"Thank you Genma-san." Sai looked gratefully at the Jonin.
"No problem. Hey, I got you a little gift, you know, as a thank you." Genma handed the package he was holding to Sai and whistled as he entered the party.
