Reality Viewing: Naruto the Quirky Villain

-Chapter 12-

"Hnnng! Hnnnng!"

"Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull!"

"Hnnng!" Mirko's face turned red as she held a small glob of pink foam with a special pair of gloves, trying her best to pull them apart while Mina cheered her on. A vein bulged on her forehead and her arms shook with effort as the ball slowly stretched like a rubber band in her grasp.

The rabbit heroine kept this up for about five minutes, sweat beading across her brow as she twisted and contorted the stretched the foam in various waves, before her hands snapped back together.

"Phew, you weren't kidding about how tough this crap is," She said with an impressed whistle, rolling the glob around in one hand before setting it in a bowl made of the same stuff as her gloves. "I hate to admit it but I'd be done for if I got caught in this stuff."

"Well of course, it wouldn't be much of detainer if you could get out of it easily," Mei chirped happily, jotting down notes with one hand while the other soldered the seams on a new modified grenade. "All my babies are top quality guaranteed."

"Aside from when they spontaneously combust." Mina added with a cheeky smirk, giggling when her fellow pinkette responded with a stuck-out tongue.

"She's got a point, ribbit," Tsuyu said from the other side of the room where she, Momo, Shoto and Midnight were playing a game of Sorry. Taking a card, the heroine in training grabbed one of her pieces out of the start zone with her tongue and took the place of one of Midnight's. "Regardless of how amazing your gear is, most support companies are going to be more than a bit dubious with approving it if you don't tone down with the frequent malfunctions."

A muffled shout from Iida punctuated the frog girl's point as he squirmed around in his puffy pink prison, which most took as him voicing his agreement. Sadly their words would go unheeded as the inventive pinkette waved her off and continued to tinker with her devices. "The key to inventing is trial and error, it took Thomas Eddison over fourteen hundred attempts in order to make a lightbulb that didn't burn out in a few hours."

"Don't say I didn't warn you ribbit." Tsuyu said with a shrug and going back to her game just in time to see Midnight getting her back by knocking two of her pieces back to her start zone in one move. If Mei wasn't going to heed anyone's advice, then that was her problem and she could deal with the consequences.

As she was about to draw a card for her turn though, a familiar soft thrum rang out and caught everyone's attention as the projection reappeared ready to play once more.

"Sweet, showtime." Hopping into a seat with a grin, Mina hit the play button on Mirko's seat before anyone else could react.

"Woah, Midnight, surprise surprise... didn't expect to see the infamous exhibitionist here at a hospital!"

"Ooooh, I smell a catfi-" *Smack* "Ow!" Mina yelped when Midnight smacked her upside the head. "What was that for?"

"Being impatient," The adult rated heroine stated…

smack* "OW!"

Before literally booting the pinkette out of the chair and sitting down in the now empty chair. "And that was for stealing my spot."

Midnight blinked when she heard the somewhat familiar voice of Mirko behind her. The two of them had never really worked together, but both of them were famous heroes, so they were on rather friendly terms, despite not really knowing each other. They knew each other in passing pretty much, as popular heroes, but you could not call them friends by any stretch of the imagination. There was simply mutual respect one would say, and it allowed them to get along well enough.

"Me get along with her? As if!" Mirko scoffed, crossing her arms and sticking her nose up in the air as if the very idea was offensive.

Rolling her eyes in amusement, the adult-rated heroine in question nudged the rabbit woman's side with her elbow. "Don't be so dramatic, we both know that if it wasn't for the whole being stuck part you'd be having just as much fun ripping into me and everyone else as I have. Hell, it still hasn't stopped you from doing so most of the time."

"…Alright, yeah, you got me there."

Though, Midnight wasn't a fan of Mirko's loud mouth.

"Oh, speaking of a loud mouth…"

"You even think about it and I'll-"

"Maybe a certain someone could help you with yours by putting his cork in it~." Midnight finished quickly before scooching her seat to the side, just out of Mirko's reach as the blushing whitette tried to kick her face in.

"I swear the first thing I'm gonna do when I get out of this is punt your ass across this entire city!" Mirko growled out, which only made the scantily clad woman giggle.

"I'm just visiting, just got off work today... some of us are teachers now." Midnight spoke with a tired smile.

Naruto was getting better, but cleaning the toxins from his blood that were keeping him sick wasn't an easy process. He had been in the hospital for 3 days already, and he had missed his first day of school at U.A. already. He wasn't sick anymore, they were just flushing his body to make sure that he didn't get sick again, and boosting his immune system so that it would become a little stronger.

"That's good, it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to recovering," Momo said with an approving smile. "It wouldn't do him any good going to school if he only got sicker because of it."

"Not to mention Recovery Girl would have both his and Midnight-sensei's heads if he tried to go while still sick, ribbit." Tsuyu added in a dead serious tone as she and everyone else shivered.

"That too." The creation quirked teen agreed.

"I'm doing some community service, going to visit the sick kids and tell them hero stories." Mirko said as she flexed her arm, and gripped her muscle. Being a hero wasn't all punching and that good stuff, sometimes it was just patrolling, doing paperwork, and making public appearances to keep up a good image. With how many times she had been defeated by Kurama recently, she really needed to keep up a good image, to sort of correct the damage being done to her reputation.

"Awww, that's nice of you to go cheer up the kids," Mina gushed, making Mirko puff up her chest in pride… until the acidic teen added. "Even if it's just a quick grab for good PR."

"Hey!" Faster than Mina could blink, she had been grabbed by the collar and pulled eye to eye with a grumpy bunny. "I'll have you know I go to the children's wards every month to brighten up those kids' day, PR be damned."

"Maybe you you do," The pink girl started with a nervous smile before pointing at the projection. "But her you just admitted she's only doing it for the brownie points so-grk!?"

Whatever else she was gonna say was left unsaid as an unamused Mirko locked her in a chokehold, her words reduced to muffled gibberish against the heroine's bicep. Trying to pull herself free, her efforts were rewarded with a half-hearted whack on the head, which considering the rabbit woman's strength was still more than enough to ring a few bells.

"Uh, aren't you overreacting just a little Mirko-san?" Shoto asked, his brow raised at the oddly aggressive reaction.

"Hell no, she dissed the bun once to many so now she gets the gun," Mirko stated with a grunt, giving Mina an extra squeeze before casually tossing the girl back into her seat. "Next time you open that wise-cracker you call a mouth I'll-"

"Choke her out with your hot toned thighs."

"-Choke you out with my… god damn it! Stop that!" The red faced whitette roared at Midnight as the R-rated heroine doubled over in fits of laughter once again.

Meanwhile, Mina rubbed her neck with a groan, gratefully accepting an ice pack from Momo for her sore throat. "I walked right into that one, didn't I?"

"More so dove right in head first, ribbit."

"Thanks Tsu…"

They stopped together at the check in.

"Midnight, coming to see Uzumaki Naruto." Midnight stated with a smile.

"Mirko, here about seeing visit the kid's ward." Mirko gestured to herself with a bigger smile, puffing out her chest to make a bigger impression than Midnight. Midnight just sent her a look that said 'Really?', but otherwise let it go.

"Why would I be upset? That just makes everyone with even half a brain think she has an inferiority complex anyway." The 'real' Midnight stated once she got her laughter under control.

"Look who's talking miss two-dollar stripper, how often do you have to shake your ass just to stay relevant these days?" Mirko shot back, smirking when the humor vanished from the adult rated heroine's face. "Oh wait, I'm being too optimistic, you'd be in the five-cent category at your age."

'Ooooh… I smell a catfight.' Mina wanted to say but quickly bit down on the thought, and her tongue for good measure, when she saw how red Midnight's face was getting. One near strangling was enough for her nor was she eager to find out if Midnight was any good with that flogger she was always whipping about.

"Third Floor, in the play room... both of you."

-Third Floor: Play Room-

"You're so awesome Nii-chan!"

"Ah, this is nothing." Naruto said loudly as he held up two children on his biceps, allowing them to hang off of him as he walked on the ceiling. They were laughing and smiling, using his arms like a jungle gym.

Thankfully before the two could get into further, their and everyone else's attention was drawn back to the projection when it changed to show the whiskered blonde of the hour.

Naruto was grinning, feeling a lot better after having his system flushed for a few days. He had decided that it was time for him to help make the hospital stay for the sick children a little better, so he asked if it was allowed for him to play with the kids, and the doctors agreed with it.

Naruto's tongue shot out of his mouth, and wrapped around a kid's waist, before he lifted a third kid up off the ground and allowed him to 'fly' off the ground.

"This is so gross Onii-san!" Despite his words, the little boy couldn't seem happier as he was able to move around the room outside of his wheelchair. His broken legs not keeping him down as he was allowed to walk again, his feet above the ground and "mimicking" walking for him. "Reri-chan, lets race!" With that, a young girl turned to look at him, and showed that she had her mouth covered in bandaging type, her muffled voice barely making a sound.

Naruto used his tongue to allow the boy to race against the girl, the two of them running around the room together.

"D'awwwww~ that's so cute!" Mina squealed in glee while pulling the closest person she could reach, Mei in this case, into a hug. "He's like the best big bro ever!"

"Spine… snapping… why me?"

"He really is dedicated to making children happy, he'd make a wonderful father one day." Momo said with a soft smile while Midnight nodded in agreement.

A young boy with a frog-like face in shape, and black hair that covered his right eye, with a wide mouth and larger hands, was slowly crawling on the ceiling like Naruto was, but he wasn't steady as he crawled.

"Ribbit!" A surprised croak escaped Tsuyu's lips and her tongue sprung from her mouth out of shock, the slimy appendage smacking into the wall.

"Someone you know I'm guessing?" Momo asked as the frog girl quickly reeled her tongue back in with a light blush on her stoic face.

"He's my little brother."

"Oh yeah, I remember you telling me about him and your sister once, Samidare and Satsuki right?"

"Yep."

"You're doing good Samidare-chan, once you start sticking to surfaces, you've just got to get used to the feeling." Naruto's words were a little slurred since his tongue was stretched out of his mouth, but other than that, he was speaking normally. The boy crawling had a Quirk very similar to his own Quirk.

Frog.

Naruto's Toad Quirk makes his body (overall) stronger, more durable, his poison more deadly than most Frog Quirks out there.

The Frog Quirk gave better leg strength, more jumping power, and a higher resistance to chemicals. Though, as a child, Samidare wouldn't have any of the advantages of his Quirk as of yet, since he was still a child, and his Quirk immature because of it.

"Fascinating, such similar quirks yet drastically different effects and capabilities for their users," Prying herself free of Mina's grasp, Mei immediately pulled out her notes and started jotting something down. "Perhaps if I add in a few variable setting tweaks here and here I could make my babies more multipurpose and…"

"Ah! This is becoming educational!" Mina exclaimed in faux horror, covering her ears and jokingly glaring at everyone in suspicion. "Alright, who ratted us out and told their parents?"

This earned quite a few laughs from the rest of the room, with even Shoto cracking a smile briefly in amusement.

"Of course I told my parents, why wouldn't I?" All except Mei that was, who in typical her fashion completely missed the joke and answered way to honestly.

Staring at her fellow pinkette, Mina's prior cheery mood was replaced by a deadpan. "And here I thought Iida lacked a sense of humor…"

"You're better at this than my sister..." Samidare stated lowly as he watched Naruto walking around the ceiling using only his feet, instead of both his hands and feet like his sister needed to use. She always used her hands and feet to crawl on stuff, otherwise she couldn't stick to anything properly, or she would lose her grip and slip off.

"It's all about where your center of gravity is, Frogs have more leg strength, but overall, my body is stronger, and it allows me to concentrate more power to my core." Naruto flexed his belly, his shirt having fallen a little to show his abs. The tradeoff for reduced leg strength, was having more overall strength, meaning he could focus his strength to his belly, and balance himself to stick to stuff without needing his hands to do it.

"So basically his quirk trades off mobility for better agility, that makes sense." Midnight muttered with a thoughtful hum.

"Weeee!"

"Hey, settle down a little, getting harder to keep a hold on you." Naruto let the kids slip down his arms, and he used his hands to lower them to the ground. He put his hands in the pockets of his medical pajamas. "So, what brings you here kiddo?" Naruto asked as Samidare crawled up next to him.

"Got the flu... having my body flushed." Samidare mentioned with a mutter as he crawled next to Naruto, his face mostly blank, but that was natural.

"So you guys really do have to go to the hospital every time you get a cold?" Mina asked Tsuyu with a raised brow.

"When we're younger yes, ribbit," The stoic-faced teen said while making a 'so-so' motion with her hand. "But once we're older it's usually fine as long as we make sure to avoid things like chemically treated water until we're better."

"Still, that has got to suck majorly." Mina muttered in sympathy, shivering at the idea of having to go to the hospital every time she got sick.

His features were more set than Naruto's own features, which allowed for an even wider display of emotions than a Frog Quirk owner. "... I don't like shots." Samidare stated to Naruto, since he was at the hospital until his flu was completely cured.

His older sister was suppose to be picking him up tomorrow, that or his mother, depending on who was free at the time.

Samidare lost his grip on the ceiling, and Naruto reached out with his hand, and grabbed him before he fell to the floor on his head. Bring him back to the ceiling, Samidare stuck to it again, and kept his focus on the ceiling.

"Yeah, they suck big time, I don't like them either... I worry about anyone who likes shots. Still, we need them to keep from getting really sick, and spreading it to others. Think of it like this... every time you get a shot, you're being a real hero to the people that you aren't getting sick in the future." Naruto gently sat down the child his tongue was holding back in his wheelchair when the nurse came to get the child, and the nurse pushed the child out of the room.

"Now that's how you motivate a kid," Mirko said, crossing her arms with a smug grin. "I couldn't have done it any better myself."

"Bye bye Onii-san!"

"You better heal up nice and strong kiddo, don't want to see you back here!" Naruto called out to the kid with a wide smile.

Samidare looked at Naruto with admiration in his eyes.

"... can you become my real brother?"

"You said something?" Naruto asked the little crawler with a grin.

"D'awww~!"

"Nope! Not this time!"

Having learned her lesson, Mei quickly hopped out of glomping range the instant she heard Mina start to gush. Instead poor Shoto found himself at the mercy of the acidic pinkette's hug of doom, the dual haired teens' face slowly turning a faint red when he felt her bosom smooshing against his shoulder.

"Oh now that is just too precious," Meanwhile, Midnight giggled into her hand and ruffling Tsuyu's head. "Sounds like you're about to have some competition for older sibling."

"Indeed, ribbit." The frog girl said with an amused croaking…

"... I have a sister your age... she goes to U.A. now... she's going to be a hero." Samidare didn't repeat his words, instead, he mentioned his older sister. "She's socially awkward, but really cute... she's got a Frog Quirk too." Samidare explained to Naruto, who just laughed for a moment.

He didn't understand why Samidare was bringing up his sister, but sometimes, the right answer was just to laugh a little.

…Before turning bright red when her brother said that.

"Oh-ho? What's this?" In the blink of an eye, Midnight went from rubbing her head to draping an arm around her shoulders as she leaned in close with a mischievous grin. "So it's not a big brother he wants but a big brother-in-law."

"Looks like someone's trying to play matchmaker," She wasn't alone either as an identically smiling Mina immediately closed in from the side, pinning Tsuyu between in place between the two of them. "So what say you Tsu? Thinking of croaking his toad?"

"…That was both terrible and insulting, ribbit." Tsuyu stated in a bland tone, although the blush spreading across her entire face belied her embarrassment.

"Hey Naruto, having fun there?"

"Sup kids, Mirko here to hang out with you guys!"

Naruto slipped off the ceiling, and landed on the top of his head out of the pure shock of seeing Mirko and Midnight together coming through the front door. His lost complete (even subconscious) concentration over his surface sticking, and spewed the air he was breathing out when his skull bashed the floor. Samidare hopped from the ceiling properly, and landed on the floor on all fours. Naruto just sat up and rubbed the top of his head.

Laughter erupted through the room at Naruto's comical flop, none more so than from Mirko herself as she doubled over in her seat. "Oh man, talk about putting the drop in dropping in!"

Meanwhile Tsuyu silently sighed in relief, glad for the sudden change of subject.

His eyes met with Mirko's eyes.

"Oh shit! She's gonna recognize him!" Mina exclaimed as the blonde and whitette stared at each-other intensely.

Grinning in excitement, Mirko cracked her knuckles as she waited for her other to catch the slippery villain at last. "Hehe, this is gonna be good."

...

'He seems familiar to me for some reason... he's got really pretty blue eyes though... really familiar to me for some reason... kind of like Kurama's eyes... if Kurama had a Toad Quirk and not a Poison Quirk though.' Mirko rubbed her chin in thought, locking eyes with Naruto. The two had the same build, but this boy clearly had a Toad Quirk, while Kurama's abilities were seemingly completely focused towards creating and using multiple poisons.

Oh well, it would seem they just had very similar eyes then, but damn was the resemblance not striking for her. The second she saw his eyes, the first person she had thought of was Kurama. She would have attacked him if she didn't realize their Quirks were super different, and this boy seemed to have a more serious personality than the pervy, goofball that was her favorite villain Kurama.

"…Or not." Mina corrected as she slumped back into her seat in disappointment.

"What the hell are you doing me!? That is Kurama!" Mirko's reaction on the other hand was much less subdued, grabbing the bowl of detainment foam and hurling it at the projection. "Don't just stand there, get hi-*Zap*-ow!"

"You both forgot that Naruto intentionally puts on an entire façade to throw people off, it's not just his appearance he hides but his entire persona changes," Momo said, shaking her head at the pair's antics. "Naruto is a kind, helpful, modest if somewhat playful teen with a toad quirk while Kurama is an eccentric, goofy, flirtatious jokester with a diverse poison quirk, or at least that's what he's got most people to see when meeting either of them."

"Or in other words, they might as well become completely different people even if you were looking right at them, good attention to detail." Midnight stated while patting Momo's head in approval, making the ravenette beam at the praise.

"Sup Bun...ny hero Mirko, and Midnight." Naruto almost slipped and called Mirko Bun-Bun, but he was able to quickly play it off by biting his tongue while he was talking.

'Nice save.' Mina thought with a snort.

Naruto waved to the two heroes, and Midnight smiled and waved at Naruto. She was still in costume, so she needed to keep things more professional sadly, otherwise she would have gushed over how cute her son was when looking after the children.

He was just loved by children it would seem, because even the boy, Samidare, was patting the top of Naruto's head to try and make his head feel better, even though Naruto was perfectly fine.

Years of bonding with children and raising them did wonders for Naruto.

"Like I said, he'll be a natural father one day." Momo said with a giggle, never noticing the sly look that suddenly popped up on Mina's face as she started to slink closer to the vice president of 1-A.

"You sure did, and would you say he'd be a stay at home dad?" The acidic pinkette asked 'innocently', getting the ravenette to rub her chin in thought before nodding.

"Most likely, he'd probably want to live at the orphanage he starts like his parents so he'd basically work at home anyway."

"And raising the kids while you bring home the bacon?"

"Yeah, and then every day we…" Momo started to say only to trail off mid-sentence, her face scrunching up in confusion as her brain noticed something off with what Mina had said. Once it finally clicked, she froze in her seat and her entire face erupted in a bright red blush.

"You hear that Mirko, sounds like you have some competition." Mina said teasingly while pulling Momo into a one-armed hug, the poor girl stuttering unintelligibly in her grasp.

"More like a lot of competition, isn't that right Tsuyu?" A grinning Midnight added with a smirk, ruffling Tsuyu's hair as the frog girl sank into her seat with an embarrassed croak.

"Come on Naruto, let's go, Mirko is going to take over for you now." Midnight gestured to the bunny hero, who sent out a peace sign.

Naruto just got up, and waved bye to the children.

"Hope all of you get better." Naruto started to walk to the door, while Mirko walked deeper into the room, and passed by him. Mirko blinked when even her nose was hit by a familiar scent, though the stench of hospital was covering it up a little too. She turned her head to look at Naruto as he passed by her.

Mirko tilted her head in confusion.

"Hah! I got his scent! Now there's no way I'll not figure out who he is!" Mirko's cheer broke through everyone's thoughts as they jerked their attention back to the screen to see the rabbit woman's counterpart discretely sniffing the air.

'Seriously, other than his Quirk not matching up... this guy is like a perfect doppleganger for the bastard. Kurama has an unregistered Poison Quirk, and this guy has a Toad Quirk.' Mirko couldn't shake the feeling that this boy was off somehow.

Kurama, other than changing the color of his poison to change his skin color, didn't show any other real signs having a Toad Quirk (using thick poison to stick to walls didn't count), while this boy didn't seem to hold even a shred of the poison abilities that Kurama had either. So the two of them just couldn't be the same person, despite having the same eyes, scent, and build.

"Ah dammit, he slipped by again," And like that her good mood was gone, replaced with a sour annoyance as she grumbled under her breath… at least until she noticed all the looks she was getting from the rest of the room. "What?"

"""…You're an idiot.""" They all said at the same time while facepalming, a resounding *Smack* filling the entire room.

"Hey, who the hell are you calling an idiot?" Said whitette demanded with a scowl, glaring at the group as they all deadpanned back at her.

"You literally identified him via smell and you still couldn't tell it was him, what else are you but an idiot?" Midnight asked in the driest tone possible, not even bothering to mock the rabbit heroine for once.

"Smells aren't as unique as you assholes think," Mirko grunted, stomping a foot on the ground in annoyance. "It's not like every single person has their own completely unique scent, a lot of people have similar smells. For all I know Naruto and Kurama just like to use the same bodywash or maybe they have the same taste for Chinese food."

"That's great to know, and how many people who have the same smell also happen to have the same build, voice, and eyes?" The adult rated heroine countered, causing the rabbit woman to recoil.

"Well sure but-"

"And don't forget you were there with Naruto when he was upset and stopped acting for once," Momo cut in, "Meaning your other should know that his villain persona is just that, a persona."

"I-"

"Plus Kurama even admitted to your other self that he was only fifteen and look what you found, a fifteen year old with blue eyes that speaks just like him and has the same smell." Mina added, wagging her finger in the classic 'no-no-no' pose.

"I… I…" Trying to come up with a response, Mirko's brain drew a complete blank as all the evidence was piled up before her. After almost an entire minute, she finally gave up, deflating into her seat with a groan. "I'm an idiot."

'Thank god Bun-Bun is a dumb bunny, and I make it a point to make everyone think Kurama's Quirk is Poison.' Naruto sighed in relief to himself. It would not do for him to get caught because of something like accidentally running into the hero who knew Kurama the best so far.

'Oh great, and now their rubbing it in.' Mirko grumbled to herself, crossing her arms with a huff as the others chuckled at her misfortune.

"Hey kid... what is your opinion on super tall ladies with big tits?"

Midnight gave Mirko a raised eyebrow when she asked Naruto that question, and Naruto turned, blinking as well in confusion.

Midnight did the exact same as her counterpart, staring at her fellow pro-heroine in confusion at the completely random question. "I get you're straight-forward and all but seriously? Five seconds in and you're already trying to hit him up?"

"What? No! What do you think I am, a cheap whore like you?" Mirko asked rhetorically with a scoff, causing a vein to bulge on the purplette's forehead.

"Says the one who just asked a boy she just met his preference on women," She retorted, before smirking deviously. "Speaking of, who do you think you're fooling calling yourself super tall like that shorty?"

"Shorty?!"

"Well you're not exactly setting any height records." Mina added with a giggle… while cowering behind Shoto for safety, with said boy nodding in agreement.

"You are a bit on the lower side."

"Oi! I am not short!" Mirko growled out angrily with several tics popping across her forehead and clenched fists. "And for the ones calling me idiot earlier you guys sure are blind! Obviously my other self is talking about how that little bastard acted around Mt Lady! He obviously has a thing for tall busty women!"

"Oh yeah, then your other should definitely be worried about Momo then," Mina said while jabbing a thumb at the creative quirked girl in question. "She's the tallest bustiest girl out of all of us."

"I wouldn't quite say that…" The ravenette muttered with a blush as she hugged herself in embarrassment, not realizing that by doing so she was squishing up her chest and making it look even bigger than it already was. "And besides, I doubt that's actually his type anyway. He tends to tease hero on their theme or gimmick, like how he makes bunny jokes with Mirko."

Naruto realized what she was asking moments later, and made sure that it didn't show on his face.

"Not really my type, I like modest girls."

"See?"

"Oh puh-lease, he's probably just lying to throw me off his track," Mirko said with a huff, her eyebrow twitching when she saw that Naruto's expression didn't waver even once from what looked like genuine confusion. "And of course he had to have a good poker face."

"Maybe it's not a poker face, perhaps he does enjoy modest girls," Midnight said tauntingly while patting Momo's back supportingly. "Or maybe he likes both, which you'd best hope he doesn't since Momo here has you beat in all categories and they'll be going to the same school really soon."

"Why do you keep bringing me into this?" Momo asked as she covered her face, only to be ignored.

"Bah, as if I care," Mirko stuck her nose up with a scoff. "And even if I did care there's no way I'd have to worry about some prissy teen with a muffintop."

"Muffintop!?"

'He is for sure not Kurama, Kurama is kind of pervy, and always making jokes about being attracted to certain types of women.' Mirko erased all suspicions that this boy was Kurama in an instant with that question. She had a wider smile on her face now that her doubts were gone, and she turned to the children remaining in the room.

Naruto didn't let out a sigh, but he felt relieved further.

Thank god Mirko wasn't smart.

Mirko grumbled lowly under her breath as the projection faded away and the Viewer went back into buffering mode, her fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly with the barely restrained urge to pummel something. She then turned her head to the side, where she saw Midnight staring back at her with a Cheshire grin on her face.

"You're never going to let this go, are you?"

"Absolutely never."

Meanwhile, Momo was poking at her sides with a frown, before smiling nervously at her friends. "I don't have a muffintop, right?"

...

"Ah man…"
