"Naruto! Why would you do such a thing?" Two Konoha Shinobi chased after the Village's rascal, Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto laughed obstinately as he ran ahead of them, carrying a bucket of paint in his right hand.
"You're really gonna get it this time!" The other man shouted after the boy, who continued to laugh mockingly.
Naruto leapt into the air, his feet setting down on the side of a building, and he pushed off again, bouncing between buildings to evade the Ninja. They followed him easily, though Naruto doubled-back, barely escaping them, and laughed once more.
"I don't care!" He shouted as he avoided being caught. "You know what your problem is? You can't do the things I do! Only I can do this! I'm better than all of you! Believe it!"
Behind him the faces of the Village's Leaders— The Hokages— watched over the village, immortalized in stone. Ordinarily, they were a sight to behold, but today they were covered in paint and vandalized by none other than the Village's most troublesome boy.
In the Hokage's office, the quiet environment was disturbed by two out-of-breath ninja bursting inside.
"Lord Hokage!"
"There's a problem, sir!"
The Hokage turned from his canvas and held the brush in his hand still as he turned to acknowledge the intrusion.
"What is it?" His words were muffled by the pipe in his mouth. His brows furrowed and he immediately guessed what had them so worked up. "Did that Naruto do something again?"
"Yes. He climbed onto the mountain images." The first ninja began to explain, lifting his hands and moving them as he spoke.
"—And he vandalized and graffitied all over them!" the second man finished, waving his arms in alarm.
Lord Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a long sigh and released a slow stream of smoke from his lips. That boy was always causing some kind of mischief...
Out on the streets, Naruto continued to stay just one step ahead of his pursuers.
"Wait!" One man called, panting. As troublesome as this boy was, it was difficult to chase after him when he had so much energy.
They touched down on the ground, far behind Naruto, and leapt into the air again to search for him, realizing that he'd gotten just out of sight.
Once they had passed, Naruto slowly lowered the vertically striped blanket he'd been holding up to disguise himself as part of the fence behind him. He grinned at his success and rubbed the back of his head, laughing out loud.
"Why should I?" He asked himself, his pride dulling his senses and he was unable to notice a man approach from behind.
Iruka Umino rested his fists on his hips, furrowed his brows, and leaned in close to Naruto to shout. "Hey, Naruto!"
Naruto's eyes widened and he jumped in surprise and fell on his backside. He blinked up at the man, resting his palms on the ground as he looked up.
"How did you suddenly get here, Iruka-sensei?"
Iruka pointed accusingly down at Naruto, beginning his lecture. "The question is what are you doing here when you should be in class now?"
Naruto groaned as Iruka dragged him back to the Academy, tying him up and setting him in front of the class for all to see.
"Now listen, Naruto." Iruka lectured his student as he stood over him with his arms crossed and hazelnut eyes stern. "You failed the last Graduation test and the one before that. This is no time to be goofing off, you fool!"
Naruto pursed his lips, closing his eyes and turning away from his teacher, ignoring his every word and refusing to reply.
Iruka gritted his teether, furrowing his brow as he watched Naruto continue to ignore him, then turned to the rest of the class and pointed to a spot on the floor nearby.
"We will have a re-test on the Transformation Jutsu! Even those who already passed will take it!"
"Whaaaat?" The students collectively cried out in protest, some glaring at Naruto.
After some time of groaning and mumbling, the students lined up and demonstrated the Jutsu in turn.
A pink-haired girl stepped forward for her turn, adjusting her stance and making the proper hand sign.
"Sakura Haruno." She announced and took a breath. "Here I go... Transform!"
A puff of smoke surrounded her and when it cleared, a second Iruka stood in her place.
Iruka looked over her transformation, nodding as he checked her name off of the list on his clipboard.
"Okay!" He smiled, and Sakura's appearance returned to normal.
"I did it!" She beamed, praising herself, and then looked to one boy in line. "Did you see that, Sasuke-kun?"
Next, Sasuke Uchiha." Iruka announced and Sakura moved to the back of the line, pouting slightly as the boy didn't even look her way.
The dark-haired boy named Sasuke stepped forward as Iruka finished jotting down the last notes under Sakura's name. Without waiting for his teacher to look up, the boy quickly transformed into Iruka's copy.
Iruka looked up, seeing that this transformation was also adequate. "O-okay."
Sasuke undid the transformation and reappeared after the smoke cleared with his hands in his pockets, without acknowledging his senior. He moved to the back of the line and Iruka called out the next name.
"Next, Naruto Uzumaki."
"This is a real pain." The taller boy with his dark hair tied up in a high ponytail stared at Naruto in apathy.
"And it's all your fault." The blonde girl on Naruto's other side added in agreement.
"Like I care!" Naruto muttered to himself as he stepped forward. He made the hand sign and stood with his feet apart. "Transform!"
A cloud of smoke enveloped him, but when it cleared, a tall, blonde woman stood in his place with long twin ponytails, smooth, pale skin, and a large chest. She was completely naked and winked at Iruka and blew him a kiss.
Iruka's mouth gaped in shock at the lewd sight and he stared at the Transformation, unable to look away. His nose began to bleed and he fell backward in surprise.
Naruto's appearance returned to Normal and he pointed at the teacher and laughed loudly.
"How was it?" He teased the man as he attempted to recover. "I call it the Sexy Jutsu."
Iruka stood and leaned close to Naruto's face, furrowing his brows and clenching his fists.
"You fool! Stop making idiotic spells!"
Iruka exhaled and pointed to the end of the line, ordering Naruto to stand there out of sight and to stay out of trouble. He managed to finish the testing without incident and they continued through their regular lessons, with Iruka taking extra care to watch Naruto in the event he tried to leave the room again.
Finally, after the school day seemed to drag on forever, the students were able to return home, though Iruka marched Naruto to Hokage Rock, ignoring his complaints.
