MEANWHILE!!!
"And Shika and Cho said that they just couldn't go without the action figures of Really Really Big Man!" said Ino. "But…when I bought them each a Really Really Big Man…they ended up playing with Hana's Barbies instead. She has millions of Barbies. I start to think that those things can reproduce on their own."
"Kajitsu has a lot of Barbies." Said Sakura. "But not THAT many. I don't spoil her."
"Lil Gai has a Really Really Big Man!" said Tenten, trying to avoid an argument between Sakura and Ino.
"What is THAT supposed to mean?" said Ino. "You spoil your daughter SO much that it's ridiculous! How can you say that we spoil Hana when you cater to your daughter's every need?!"
"Oh, and Sasuke ISN'T obsessed with Hana?!" said Sakura.
"Your daughter ACTS spoiled." Said Ino. "Because she has TWO parents who spoil her."
"Um…" said Tenten and Hinata.
"Hana has NEVER thrown a temper tantrum EVER!" said Ino. "I have seen Kajitsu throw more temper tantrums in the last few days than I have EVER seen Hana throw."
"She doesn't NEED to throw a temper tantrum because Sasuke will just give her another dress or another toy!" said Sakura.
"Oh, you want to fight, Sakura?" said Ino.
"Um…no…" Sakura said. "I'm not going to get in a ninja fight with you, Ino. How about I fight Sasuke and you fight Naruto?"
"Are you saying that I'm on the same level as Naruto?" said Ino. "Are you saying that Sasuke's on the same level as YOU?"
Just when the Ino and Sakura would have most likely escalated their battle, the door to Chuck E. Cheese flung open dramatically. Standing there was Kiba along with all the teenage people.
"HURRAY!!" cheered everyone, including the random people who didn't even know who they were.
"Okay, gather everyone around!" said Kiba, vaulting over a few tables to go over to where Senjou and the rest of the folks were. It took a good few minutes to find everyone and bring them all over.
"And that was the only man who has ever seen my evil eye." Said Kakashi to Senjou.
"But you said ALL pirates got to see your evil eye." Said Senjou.
"Smart boy." Said Kakashi, patting him on the head. "But I neglected to tell you that I have TWO evil eyes."
"Two?" Senjou gasped.
"One for pirates and one that is a secret." Kakashi said.
Just when Senjou was going to continue to inquire about the continuous contradictions that Kakashi was bringing up, Sasuke and Naruto came over.
"All right, that's enough." Sasuke said, sensing that Kakashi was telling more lies to Senjou. He grabbed himself a chair and sat down in between Senjou and Kakashi.
"It's just a little fun." Kakashi assured him.
"Hear ye, hear ye!" said Kiba, hitting the table as everyone crowded around. "I have EXCELLENT news! In light of recent events, I feel as though it is my DUTY to promote one of you young, strapping ninjas! And so…"
He whipped out a forehead protector from behind his back and leaned over to Senjou.
"I present you with THIS!" he said. "Uchiha Senjou, you are now officially a graduate of the Ninja Academy, meaning that I never want you to show your face there again! You will be assigned to a teacher the moment we return and begin your training immediately!"
Senjou looked confused for a moment and then took the forehead protector from Kiba. Everyone clapped and cheered for him, and then it was silent as they all waited for a comment from Senjou.
"Don't you have anything to say, Senjou?" Sasuke said.
"But I'm not twelve yet." He said finally.
"It's all right, Senjou." Said Ino. "Some children graduate early. Aren't you happy? I'm so proud of you!"
"But…I'm not old enough to graduate." Said Senjou, continuing to look completely baffled.
"SOME students graduate early!" Kiba repeated for Ino.
"PUT IT ON!!" shrieked Shika and Cho, referring to the forehead protector.
Senjou shrugged and tied it on his forehead as everyone cheered for him again.
"So it's really okay for me to graduate early?" Senjou asked since he didn't want to be embarrassed later that he had fell for the horrible trick.
It took a while to assure Senjou that everything they were saying was the truth and that they weren't fooling him.
So, while everyone celebrated, Lee yoinked his two sons and Inoshi over to the other side of the room where no one could hear him speak.
"All right, you three." He said. "Tomorrow morning have to run two laps around Kokomo."
The three looked at him.
"What?" said Lil Lee finally.
"We're on VACATION!" said Inoshi.
"I know." Said Lee. "But I lost a bet."
"A bet on what?" Lil Lee said.
"Well, remember that tournament that you forfeited?" said Lee, looking slightly annoyed. "I said I'd run two laps around Kokomo if I lost the bet. And I lost. But I also said that YOU would come too, Lil Lee."
"So why are we here?" said Inoshi.
"Because I'm going to take Lil Gai too." Said Lee. "And then I figured that since you were my student and the chuunin exam was just around the corner, we'd ALL go!"
"What good are two laps going to do?" Lil Gai asked.
"I lost a bet!" said Lee. "I HAVE to do it!"
"WE don't have to!" said Inoshi. "Well, Lee does. But me and Gai don't!"
"Too bad." Said Lee. "Tomorrow morning I'm going to be waking all three of you up bright and early because we're going to be going home at noon!"
"We have to run two laps around this entire island before noon?!" Inoshi yelled.
"YES!" said Lee.
"It won't take that long." Said Lil Lee, raising an eyebrow at Inoshi who had no right to be appalled.
"Lee!" Tenten called, coming over. "What are you all doing over here? We're about to get a guy dressed as a giant mouse to come over and present a cake to Senjou."
"CHUCKIE IS HERE?!" gasped Lil Gai with his selective hearing as he sprinted back to the table.
Senjou's celebration was riveting and they spent all day at Chuck E. Cheese's. But when the day was through at it was time to go home, everyone had to admit that they didn't mind leaving.
Of course Senjou was proud of his new forehead protector.
"Should I wear it on my forehead like Sasuke?!" said Senjou as he tried that. "Or on my shoulder like Uncle Shikamaru? Or around my waist like Mom?"
"You'll figure out whatever works for you." Said Sasuke Jr.
All the kids were sitting around watching television once again.
"That's so wonderful that you're genin!" said Kobiru but she obviously didn't care as she sprung up from her seat and frolicked over to Lil Lee. "Hey Lee, what was it like for you once you became a genin?"
"…The same as everyone else?" he said. "I didn't graduate early."
"Oh…but it still must have been satisfying because you couldn't use ninjutsu and genjutsu and BESIDES, you wouldn't have to be in school where everyone made fun of you anymore!"
Lil Lee glared at her. "I suppose…" he said.
"I graduated when I was twelve." Said Inoshi, trying to be included.
Everyone sighed and tried to ignore Inoshi.
"I was quite devastated that I had to be on the same team as Lee!" announced Pansuke as if Lil Lee was sitting right there. "I just KNEW he'd hold me back and he DID!"
"How would you know something like that?" Lil Lee said. "You hardly graduated because your grades were terrible and your taijutsu was even worse. I graduated second in the entire class."
"Second to me." Said Sasuke Jr.
"Yeah…" said Lil Lee, looking annoyed. "Second to you."
"Wow Sasuke, you're SO strong!" said Tashoku.
Sasuke Jr. knew this was true.
That was when Kiba came frolicking in. He gasped and surely would have dropped everything he was holding if he had been carrying something.
"WHAT are all these kids doing out of bed?!" he demanded.
"Dad!" said Tashoku. "Why do you always passionately want us to go to bed and wake up at certain times?!"
Hinata followed after him.
"Kiba, it's only 8:30." Said Hinata.
"AND?!" Kiba said irrationally.
"I hope you're not going to pull another 'forcefully put everyone to sleep who is to unprepared to defend him or herself and then have everyone else stay up for as long as they want'." Said Inoshi.
"Well, considering this is our last night here…" Kiba started, looking at Inoshi. "Everyone younger than you has to go to bed right now!"
"Awww…" all the younger children moaned sadly.
"Kiba, let them stay up." Said Ino since the vast majority of the younger kids were hers.
"Never!" Kiba yelled just as, if not more passionately than before.
"Well, I'm letting my kids stay up." Said Ino.
"Except Hana." Sasuke added.
"Kajitsu's staying up!" Naruto said. "We'll never be in Kokomo again, I want her to experience her last night here!"
Sasuke glared at Naruto.
"Let's not start a contest about whose five year old can stay up longer!" Ino said, coming in between them.
"Kajitsu's six." Sakura corrected her.
Meanwhile, the kids were only turning up the television because they couldn't hear anything.
"Hey!" said Kiba, going over and shutting the television off. The kids whined and complained but Kiba wouldn't budge.
"Kiba…why are you doing this?" said Shino.
"We have an early flight tomorrow!" said Kiba.
"Twelve o'clock is not early." Said Tenten.
"Yes it is." Said Kiba. "Well, it's not early for some people. But we still have to get everyone up who likes to sleep late! Plus, we have to pack and get to the airport! It's not like we can just wake up and do all that stuff in a minute!"
"But still." Said Tashoku, standing up. "8:30?"
"It's 8:35 now." Said Kiba, looking at his watch.
"Kiba, you wouldn't be doing this just because you want Kobiru to go home, right?" said Naruto.
"HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" gasped Kiba.
Everyone looked over at Kobiru who was currently standing behind the couch and playing with Lil Lee's hair as he tried to ignore her.
"Um…yeah?" she said, noticing everyone was looking at her.
"So THAT'S why you've wanted us to go to bed so early every night!" said Tashoku. "Just to get rid of Kobiru!"
"Okay…okay…" said Kiba. "I admit…"
"Oh Mr. Inuzuka, if you wanted me to go you should have just SAID so!" laughed Kobiru.
"I DID SAY SO!!" yelled Kiba.
"I love your father…" Kobiru whispered to Tashoku as she stood up and headed for the door. Kiba decided that she wasn't going fast enough, lifted her up by her dress and threw her out the window.
"It's time for bed NOW." Kiba said.
Everyone decided to humor Kiba and pretend to go to bed. Then, when he fell asleep, they would all get up.
However, their plan backfired and they all fell asleep for real by accident. Except for Cho who was the only one who stayed in on the prank. But then when he realized that Shika was asleep, he fell asleep as well.
