Genin Yearbooks

Chouji and Ino were walking down the streets when they saw Shikamaru sitting on a bench near the crosswalk.

"So, there you are!!!!" yelled Ino, putting her hands on her hips.

"Hey Shikamaru..." said Chouji, while eatting.

"...This is so troublesome, I almost got run over by some maniac in a car."

"So? It probably takes you 3 hrs to cross a street because half way, you'll think its just too troublesome and just walk back."

"You're point?"

Ino stamped her foot, and glared at Shikamaru, "Whatever, we're late, lets go!!!". And with that, she grabbed Shikamaru and dragged him across the street with Chouji trailing them.

After walking a couple of blocks, Team 10 stopped at the Ninja Academy. On the way, they had stopped 4 times to eat, 3 times to rest, and 2 for bathroom breaks. Overall, I'd say it took 3 hours to get there.

"Asuma-sensei said he had to escort Ibiki-san to the hospital so he told us to proceed with the mission, without him." Said a miffed Ino.

"Maybe he's starting to take after Kakashi" said Chouji, "...You know, with the whole being late for 4 hrs thing and all...But hey, what do I know?" He continued to munch on his chips.

"So, what is the mission?" replied a half asleep Shikamaru.

"Asuma-sensei said something about cleaning up the school attic or something."

"...how troublesome..."

They all walked in, followed up by a greeting from Iruka-sensei.

"Ohayo Minna!! Follow Me!!!"

"Damn...this is more like community service if you ask me..." muttered Shikamaru.

After trudging behind Iruka for what seemed an eternity (for Chouji and Shikamaru at least) they finally made there way into the attic, where boxes were askew, books were filled with cobwebs and dust, and rusty ninja equipment was scattered all over the floor.

"Well, I'll leave this mess to you all now, books go over there, boxes go here, and heres a trashbin for the dust and the rusty ninja equipment. Toodles!!" Iruka bounded down the stairs.

"...this is so troublesome..." Shikamaru began to picking up things within his reach, as he was sitting down on floor and was too lazy to get up.

"No!!! Ino, help!! I can't reach!!" gasped Shikamaru as he tried to grab something beyond his reach while sitting down.

Ino instantly glared at him, sending Shika bolting for shelter near the big boxes. "What a lazy ass!!" she thought.

Shikamaru sighed and began picking up the books around him, namely the ones that were small and weighed less. They were mostly books for little kids, such as "ABC's for ninjas", and "I can throw a Shuriken just like Mommy", but some had rather interesting titles, such as "5 Easy steps to becoming the Hokage" and "Cool Forbidden Techniques, Nice and Simple". A sudden rare look of amusement dawned on his face as he plopped himself on the floor and began reading.

Chouji had begun moving boxes when he spotted a particular one labeled "confiscated items". Finishing the rest of the chips, he proceeded to have a quick peek in the big box, before opening another bag of chips. Upon gazing into the box's contents, he gasped.

Inside was filled with amazing things, from plushie shurikens, to the Sandaime's toupee, to playninja mags that dated about 40 yrs back. There was even a voodoo doll of Sasuke complete with needles stuck in rather awkward places that probably would have hurt, if performed on the real thing. Also, there was a journal faintly labelled, "Orochimaru's Diary: Keep Out Or Face Dire Consequences".

Chouji, thought for a minute while eating another bag of chips. He wasn't exactly interested in the stuff, but he knew that certain people would sell their souls to get their hands on some of the goods in there. Oh the possibilites...

Meanwhile, Ino who had been browsing through a sea of books had also come across some stuff.

"Hey guys, check this out!!" said Ino, walking over to a sitting Shikamaru, since we all know that he wouldn't have budged anyway. "It's the whole collection of academy yearbooks!!!"

Ino brushed off the dust of the first book and opened it. The photos were in black and white and the students posed like they were having their mugshots taken. "Oh look, it's the Third. His grandson didn't look like him at all. He actually just looked like himself except 50 years younger and more stonier than usual."

Turning to the staff pages, Ino, glanced down, and recoiled in shock. Shikamaru fell backward, and Chouji dropped his bag of chips in disgust.

There on the front page were the First and Second Hokages, and they had....afros? Not only that, but they were also smiling, revealing some rather...abnormal...shaped teeth...as if they needed braces or something. Wow...talk about image.

After recollecting herself, Ino thought that it was best to look at a more recent one, thus she pulled out the second one on the pile, and flipped quickly to the students section.

It just so happened that she had flipped to the page with the 3 Sennin on it. One look, and Team 10 all fell, laughing their asses off.

"Did you see Orochimaru!!! Hahahaha so grossss!!!!" Ino panted and pointed. Orochimaru looked rather pale (well he always did) but apparently his purple eyeshadow was a little smudged and he had tissues stuffed up his nose, due to a runny nose that day. He was also drooling a bit, probably due to boredom, and the fact that he had to pose more than 5 minutes because of those old cameras.

"Yeh, and did you see Jiraiya? He sure looked like he was having a good time!!!" said Chouji, choking on some chips. Sure enough Jiraiya was himself smiling at the camera with his "look it's a beautiful girl" expression, except that he had the chicken pox and swollen cheeks apparently giving him a caricature like look. "I bet allll the girls were after him." Sure, Chouji, whatever you say.

"...I can't believe Tsunade stuffed her chest with cotton..." exclaimed Shikamaru, in a rather awkward manner, "I mean, she was only like 6 at the time." Sure enough, Tsunade had stuffed herself with cotton, only it seemed that she had gone a little overboard, judging from the fact that there were bits of cotton, peeping over her shirt. She had also worn lots of makeup and had dyed her hair purple for some odd reason.

Ino, quickly closed the book before Shikamaru got too motivated at Tsunade's picture and quickly picked up the next one. Nothing special really, accept the Fourth Hokage looked rather innocent, perky, and kakkoi...that is, until Jiraiya got to him. But of course we don't have proof of that.

Now, on to the next book!!!

Team 10 looked at their sensei's picture in awe. Asuma of course, had no beard and cigarette...yet, and he was also missing that lumberjack look as well. His eyes were bloodshot though, and he looked unbelievably thin and unstable. Basically, what I'm trying to spit out was that Asuma didn't look like himself at all.

"Is that really Asuma-sensei?" gasped Chouji, his potatoe chip filled hand, missing his mouth. "He looks, so....unlike him..."

"Yeh, what happened?" pondered Shikamaru. "Asuma looked like he was on withdrawl of some kind. Or maybe, he was born...a crack baby!!!!"

The three, who now had their entire focus on the yearbooks, skimmed the pages for other familiar looking people. Their search ended in success when they spotted Kurenai...with Shirley Temple esque curls, red ribbons in her hair, a chocolate smudge on her mouth, and a grin in which she was missing a front tooth and had spinach on the other.

They had also found a maskless Kakashi but much to their dismay, there was a hole in the picture where his lower face was supposed to be. (Gee, now how could that have happened.) However, you could see a little bit of the tan-line on his face that his mask left, if that was any compensation.

Iruka also looked exactly the same. I guess he was one of those people that were born with a baby face. In fact, let us coo at his baby face in unity, together now: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Unfortuneatly the group had to put their hands in front of their eyes when they saw Gai's picture. And no, it wasn't because of his looks...er wait...that was actually half of it, but the other reason was that Gai's flashy white teeth had actually increased the lighting intensity of the camera 10 fold, so you could speculate that Gai's picture could literally burned people's eyes out .

Chouji grabbed the next book and flipped to the students pages. "Hey look, this guy looks like that Sasuke kid!!"

Ino's ears, perking up when she heard the word "Sasuke" instantly looked over Chouji's shoulder.

Sure enough, there was Itachi. It kind of seemed as if he had a bad day though, estimated by the fact that both of his Sharingan were open, and that there were several "what appeared to be" cracks in the camera lense probably formed by several sharp objects.

"Hey!!! I think that's the maniac who tried to run over me, with a car!!!!!" said Shikamaru.

"Oh don't be silly, why would he come back to the village after he committed that genocide thing?" replied Ino, "Besides, I think he's kinda cute!"

"Hey, look over here guys! Its our parents!!" Chouji exclaimed, flipping through another year book. And there they were indeed bearing similar looks to Team 10 except with a few minor changes and a major one in Ino's case. Shikato looked exactly like Shikamaru including the facial expressions, Choumaru also looked similar to Chouji except with red hair. And the only similarity between Ino and her father was the fact that they both had long blonde hair. Go figure.

"Hey, are you all thinking what I'm thinking?" said Ino, rubbing her hands together.

"...too troublesome..." said Shikamaru, "I'm not carrying any stuff..." Normally his team mates wouldn't have given a damn, but then again they didn't see him slip a couple of books into Chouji's "confiscated items" box.

"So, how do we get all the stuff we want, past Iruka?" asked Chouji, hauling the box away from Shikamaru.

"Yeh, that's right...I know, lets make Shikamaru think up a solution for us!!" Ino cried pointing at Shikamaru while tipping the whole collection of yearbooks into Chouji's box.

Shikamaru yawned, and sat on the box, "Well first of all, we have to stall Iruka when we're done 'cleaning' so that Chouji could carry the box safely outside the academy. Now there are a couple of ways of stalling, we either bribe our way out, purposely distract him, or ambush him. Bribing is out of the question since that would include revealing to him our plans. Distraction might be a little risky, seeing as there aren't any naked beautiful women here to divert his attention with—"

"HEY!!!!" interupted Ino.

"Or we could just slip all the things into the box, throw it out the attic window and retrieve it later-"

On cue, Chouji, who had yet opened another bag of chips, hurled the box through the open window, before Shikamaru could add "quietly" to the end of his sentence.

There was a thunderous crash heard, but luckily there were no screams or the sounds of crushed bones reverberating in the streets. And with that, Team 10 quickly resumed their duties of cleaning up.

After what seemed several hours, the team having successfully completed their mission, bounded down the stairs in order to retrieve their prizes in the backyard of the school, and er...their pay from Iruka.

"I hope you didn't have too much trouble up there." Said Iruka cheerfully, after all, I hadn't clean out that place, since.....ever.

"Nah, it was our pleasure," grinned Ino, "who knew that cleaning could actually be fun..haha."

Iruka raised an eyebrow at her comment but Team 10, had already grabbed their paychecks and bounded for the doorway, with a hasty "Seeya later gotta go Byeeeeeee!!"

Iruka shrugged, and trudged up the stairs to check on the attic.

"Hmm...I could have sworn there were a few extra boxes in here. Oh well, can't miss my ramen date with Naruto now, can I?" And with that, Iruka left, relieving his mind of the stuff that had gone missing.
