SR: Sorry for the long update! I had a very bad case of writer's block. But all the reviews helped. I know I said i'd answer them in the last chapter, but I forgot. Forgive me! But i'll remember to answer them this time. Another thing. When I looked at this story's stats, more people have it on alert then the number of reviews i'm getting per chapter. So that means people who have accounts and are reading it aren't reviewing! That makes me mad. For those of you who DO review, I love you. Well not really, but you know what I mean. Well now that you know, on with the chapter!
Note: I do not own Naruto, this chapter will have no Sasuke torture (sorry!), and long reviews make me happy. I love long reviews! And if i'm happy I update faster. Plus, this chapter is happening at the same time as last chapter, so try to find the connections.
The 4 Jounins were sitting in the adult's lounge, having coffee and getting ready for the day. Kakashi was busy reading his book, Asuma was having a smoke, Kurenai was just relaxing, while Gai was encouraging everyone to seize the day while their youth was still fresh.
"Gai, is it possible for you to shut up? Even for a minute?" Asuma asked, lighting another cigarette.
Kurenai chuckled as Kakashi looked up from his book. "Hey Asuma, all this smoke is bothering me. I'll give you 1000 yen if you stop smoking."
"Whatever." Asuma put his cigarette out and looked up at he ceiling.
"Whoa. It worked." Kakashi looked at Asuma amused, then turned to Gai. "Hey Gai! I'll give you 1000 yen if you stop breathing."
"Ha! I'll accept this challenge, and i'll win that 1000 yen!" Gai held his breathe until his face turned blue, and gasped for breath. "Damn you Kakashi! You have won again!"
Asuma and Kurenai chuckled and got up. "Come one. Let's see what our students have been up to."
The Jounins left and met up with the students in the lobby. Kurenai overheard the girls talking about last night's party, and turned to Gai.
"Why weren't you at the party anyway?" she asked him.
"Ah yes. Well the amusement park was so fun I decided to stay!" he replied.
"Meaning he got lost." Kakashi added.
"Why wasn't Lee there?" Asuma asked.
"Because he and I both shared our love of the park and we both stayed!" Gai started to sweat.
"Meaning he he got Lee lost with him." Kakashi added again, not looking up from his book.
"Did you ever make it to the party?" Kurenai asked.
"Yes! Lee and I made it just in time for the final preformance!" Gai was almost shouting and covered in sweat.
"Meaning they got there after everyone left." Kakashi added his opinion once more.
"Curse you Kakashi! You have deciphered everyone of my cleverly disguised excuses with your hip ways! As expected of my eternal rival!" Gai pointed at Kakashi, flames in his eyes.
Kakashi looked up from his book. "Did you say something?"
"ARRGGH!" Gai screamed in agony so that most people thought he was getting killed.
Kakashi noticed Naruto, Hinata and Gaara had finally arrived and closed his book. "So, everyone, you were all playing truth or dare last night wern't you?" Kakashi asked, closing his book. Everyone nodded. "Well that must have been fun. I win the bet." Kakashi looked at Asuma and Kurenai, who were cringing uneasily. "Anyway, you must have found out a lot about yourselves. So tell us what you have learned with that experience."
Everyone looked at eachother uneasily.
"Well first we learned there are lots of couples in the group." Sakura started. "Shikamaru and Ino, Naruto and Hinata, Neji and Tenten, Kiba and Kumi, Saeki and Temari, Shino and Miharu, and lastly, me and Sasuke." Sakura blushed.
"We're not a couple Sakura. I only said i'd give you a chance." Sasuke also slightly blushed.
"Naruto also told us about Kyuubi." Ino added.
"I still can't believe you shoved a kunai up Gaara's ass." Kiba shook his head.
Kakashi raised an euyebrow. "Naruto?"
"Heh. Thousand years of pain. Learned from personal experience." Naruto smiled.
"So what are we going to do now?" Sakura asked.
"Why don't you try the hot springs? We went there yesterday. They are wonderful." Kurenai told them.
Everyone looked at eachother and nodded. "Follow us then." Saeki and Keisuke started walking.
"You shoved a kunai up Gaara's ass." Kiba shook his head, looking at Naruto.
"Just forget about it Kiba." Naruto laughed.
The Jounins watched as their students left. Then Kurenai looked at Kakashi.
"You taught him Konoha's forbidden taijutsu technique?" she asked.
Kakashi grinned sheepishly. "I was having some fun. New Genins are so easy to pick on."
"Whatever. Aren't you supposed to be trying to reverse that technique used on Sasuke?" Asuma looked at Kakashi acuseingly.
Again, Kakashi grinned under his mask. "Well...no. I experimented it on trees, and all it did was make them younger. I haven't tested it on humans yet though..." Kakashi looked at the Jounins, who backed away. "Don't worry, I won't use it on you...yet."
They looked at eachother uneasily. "Who will you use it on?"
"Probably some innocent bystander." Kakashi said casually.
"Wait. You're saying you would purposely ruin the life of some innocent person who's trying to enjoy a leisure vacation at one of Konoha's most luxurious resorts since they're probably extremely stressed and in doing so making him or her even more stressed?" Kurenai asked.
Kakashi stared at them in silence for a moment. "Yeah."
Kurenai shrugged. "Fine by me. No skin off my back."
Asuma and Gai looked at her disbelievingly. "Well I think it's wrong!" Gai exclaimed.
"Didn't I give him 1000 yen to stop breathing?" Kakashi thought out loud.
"Very funny Kakashi. But back to the subject. What have you learned about that technique?" Gai asked.
"Well nothing really." Kakashi spotted a man sneaking towards the hot springs. "Let's experiment on that grey haired guy sneaking towards the hot springs."
The Jounins steathily followed, and hid behind a bush as the man followed a group of young boys.
"Do you think he's..." Kurenai wondered.
"I don't want to think about it." Asuma shuddered.
"Shut up. I'm doing the technique now." Kakashi formed some hand seals. "Nendai Soujuu no jutsu!"
Asuma, Kurenai, and Gai looked at Kakashi questioningly.
"Age manipulation technique. I invented the name" Kakashi grinned again.
They looked back at the man Kakashi tested it on, and saw he had reverted back to the mid teens. Then he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Kakashi stared, then turned to face the other Jounins. "Well I found out how much younger you get depends on the amount of chakra you use. More chakra, they get younger."
The Jounins slowly nodded.
On the roof of the esort, watching the Jounins, was the man Kakashi just experimented on. "Damn. I didn't know they would be here. Slight draw back. I have to report back to Orochimaru-sama immediately." Kabuto thought, and set off back to Orochimaru's lair.
The Jounins were back in the lounge contemplating their situation.
"THERE'S NO NEED TO WORRY! THE POWER OF YOUTH WILL GUIDE US TOWARDS THE SOLUTION!" Gai suddenly cried out, startling the other Jounins.
"Gai, shut up." Kurenai snapped.
"Kakashi, isn't there any way to keep him quiet?" Asuma asked.
Kakashi looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "I could make him younger too."
Asuma thought for a while. "Do it."
Kakashi quickly formed the hand seals while Gai wasn't looking, and aimed the technique at Gai. Gai was still talking loudly and didn't notice he was shrinking. It was when he looked in the mirror did he stop.
"Lee! What are you doing here? You aren't allowed in the adult's lounge! You're supposed to be taking care of Sasuke!" Gai pointed at the mirror. "Lee! Why are you copying my every move? As your sensei, I order you to stop mimicking me!"
Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai was watching the whole thing, very amused.
"Hey Gai! You might want to go see if that's really Lee." Kakashi tried to hold back laughs.
Gai slowly moved towards the mirror, reached his hand out, and touched it. "Ack! It's a mirror! But that means...MY YOUTH HAS RETURNED!"
The Jounins groaned as Gai started ranting on and on about his renewed youth and how great life is and blah blah blah. He didn't notice as he they all left the room and left him all alone with the mirror.
"So what should we do now?" Asuma asked.
"Let's go check on our students. They should be at the hot springs." Kurenai suggested.
"Sure. Whatever." Kakashi was reading Icha Icha Paradise again.
The Jounins were heading towards the men's baths, when they heard screams at the women's baths. They hurried over there to check it out. When they saw Sasuke being hugged and crushed by women, they hurried into a tree and Kakashi pulled out his video camera.
Soon, after a severe nose bleed, Sasuke was rescued by the boys who finally decided to come out from behind a wall. Sasuke ran towards them with arms open. Lee kneeled down, ready to embrace Sasuke in his arms, but Sasuke ran past him and was picked up by Sakura. Asuma and Kurenai stiffled their laughter and they left when they heard their students were going to get some lunch. They got down from the tree and burst into laughter.
"Did you see Sasuke's face?" Asuma clutched his sides.
"That was priceless. Good thing you had your video camera Kakashi." Kurenai glanced over at Kakashi, who was blushing furiously.
"It's the same! It's the same!" Kakashi cried.
Kurenai and Asuma walked over to him curiously, and saw he was looking at a page of Icha Icha Paradise.
"It's the same!" Kakashi cried again. Kurenai and Asuma decided at this point, to grab the book and burn it. But they didn't have a chance since Kakashi quickly put it away.
"Hurry! We must follow Sasuke! Who knows what we can catch on tape next?" Kakashi quickly set off towards the dining room while muttering something about new data for Jiraiya.
When they finally reached the dining room, Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji were on stage preforming.
"Is that my team up there?" Asuma asked, horrified.
"Looks like it." Kurenai answered.
"Truth or Dare, karaoke, what's next?" Kakashi wondered out loud, still reading Icha Icha paradise.
They looked around the crowded room, and finally found a vacant table. They sat down, and ordered their food. Kakashi put his book away, and noticed the same grey haired guy was sneaking towards Sasuke's table. He quickly glanced around and Kakashi noticed it to be Kabuto.
"Hey, i'll be right back. I have some business to take care of." Kakashi got up and left the table, leaving Asuma and Kurenai confused.
Kakashi snuck up on Kabuto and gave him a poke on the shoulder. "We meet again, Kabuto."
Kabuto quickly jumped back and armed himself with a kunai. "Kakashi, I knew my mission wouldn't go so smoothly. It was bad enough you had to make me younger!"
"Yeah well, my mistake. Next time, i'll be sure to make you a decrepit old man." Kakashi said casually.
Kabuto seized his chance and quickly disappeared from the room. He was in the forest, hiding in a tree, when he felt Kakashi's presence behind him.
"Yo." Kakashi greeted him.
Kabuto jumped to the tree behind him, and felt a kunai stab into his back. He turned around to see Kakashi, and slashed his neck. Kakashi turned into a puff of smoke, and Kabuto jumped down to the ground and started healing his injury. "Damn. Kage bunshin. This might turn ugly."
Kabuto quickly healed the hole in his back, and created his chakra scalpels. He looked around, trying to find Kakashi. He felt movement behind him, and thrust the scalpel into his opponents heart. It turned into another puff of smoke, then the real Kakashi emerged from the smoke, slashing both of Kabuto's biceps.
"Now you can't use your arms to heal yourself." Kakashi taunted. "What are you going to do now?"
Kabuto started to laugh. His laughter slowly quickened, until he was laughing maniacally. "You never change, do you Kakashi?"
Smoke engulfed Kabuto. When the smoke cleared, standing there was Orochimaru.
"What? That was a henge?" Kakashi asked, shocked. "But, my Sharingan!"
"I'm one of the Sannin. You think my techniques could be seen though by someone of your level?" Orochimaru taunted.
"Shit." Kakashi thought to himself. "I can't beat him by myself."
"You shouldn't be just standing there, lost in thought. Kabuto could have taken Sasuke-kun by now." Orochimaru smiled evilly.
"Damn it!" Kakashi cursed under his breath. He quickly wheeled around, but Orochimaru was one step ahead of him.
"Let the little boys play a little. We have some business ot attend to." Orochimaru pulled out a kunai and slashed Kakashi across the chest.
Kakashi closed his eyes, preparing for the searing pain, but it never came. He opened his eyes, and saw Jiraiya had blocked the blade.
"Jiraiya-sama!" Kakashi gasped.
"Go Kakashi! Kabuto hasn't gotten to Sasuke yet. You still have time!" Jiraiya shouted. Kakashi nodded, and disappeared.
"Well Jiraiya. It seems it's just us. Now we can finish our fight without Tsunade here to save you." Orochimaru chuckled, his eyes bulging.
"You're the one who's going to need saving, Orochimaru!" Jiraiya lept at Orochimaru, slashing out with a kunai.
Orochimaru lept back, and extended his neck to bite Jiraiya. Jiraiya used his hair armor defense thing, and protected his neck.
Back to Kakashi. He returned to the dining room, to find the students were still there, and were taking turns doing karaoke. He walked over to Asuma and Kurenai, and explained the situation. They understood, and would keep watch on the students, while Kakashi dealt with Kabuto. The Jounins waited for Kabuto to show, but he never did. After about an hour, their students finished and left to watch some scary movies in the 'haunted room'. They followed, and saw the Kurokawa brothers were outside with a group of girls. They overheard them talking about a prank they would play on the others.
Keisuke went back in the room, and Saeki brought the girls white bathrobes, which they put on. Then they all let their hair down and in front of their face. Miharu snuck outside and though the window and hid behind the curtain. Tenten managed to slip into the bathroom and hid in the bathtub. Chiaki, Kumi, and Kira snuck into the room and hid on the ceiling, while Natsuko waited outside of the door. Asuma and Kurenai grinned as Kakashi pulled his video camera out again, and also snuck into the room.
After Asuma and Kurenai waited for a while, they heard screaming coming from inside the room. They saw the door open and Sasuke standing in the doorway. Natsuko then slowly entered, and Sasuke ran. They heard more screaming, then the lights turned on and raucous laughter could be heard. Soon, their students left the room disgusted.
"Hinata, what happened in there?" Kurenai asked.
Hinata giggled. "Kiba-kun is inside cleaning up the mess Akamaru made because he got so scared."
"Ah."
"Well, good-night Kurenai-sensei." Hinata bowed and followed the group to the lobby.
Asuma laughed as Kakashi joined them. "So? Get any good footage?"
Kakashi grinned. "We have enough blackmail to last a lifetime. Plus we got some on Kiba too."
Kurenai laughed as they left and followed the students to the lobby.
"That didn't scare me at all!" Lee boasted, on his way back to his room.
"Quit lying fuzzy eyebrows. I saw you. You were all 'Gai-sensei! Gai-sensei! Save me Gai-sensei!" Naruto teased.
"No I wasn't! Was I Neji?" Lee was walking backwards and bumped into Neji. "Neji?" Lee turned around and saw...himself?
The loby was empty except for the baby sitters, the Jounins, and the Lee clone, which was Gai.
Lee and Gai walked towards eachother. Lee raised an arm, so did Gai. Lee tilted his head, so did Gai. Lee jumped up and landed on his hands, so did Gai.
"It's just a mirror." They both said at the same time.
Lee looked back at Neji and shrugged. Gai looked back, but didn't see anyone. Gai slowly turned back and saw Lee walking back to the group.
"LEE!" he cried, and ran towards his student.
Lee turned around, and was given a hug from his 'reflection'. "Gai-sensei?"
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
They embraced in a loving hug, while the others were staring thinking "Wtf? When did Lee learn Kage Bunshin?"
When Lee and Gai finally seperated, they were in tears.
"Gai-sensei! What happened to you?" Lee asked.
"It was Kakashi! He used his age manipulation technique on me!" Gai cried.
Kakashi decided this was a good time to quietly slip away. Asuma and Kurenai agreed and followed.
"It was Kakashi-sensei!" Lee roared and went super saiyan. Well no he didn't. But he looked the same way he looked when he opened the gates, without actually opening the gates.
"Lee calm down! It's ok! My youthful spirit has been rekindled because of this!" Gai tried to calm Lee down.
And it worked. "Gai-sensei!"
"Lee!"
Everyone groaned and left as Lee and Gai embraced again.
Back in the forest, Orochimaru and Jiraiya were still fighting. They were both heavily injured and blod was splattered everywhere.
"Give up Jiraiya!" Orochimaru shouted.
"Why should I give up to a dirty bastard who betrays his village?" Jiraiya shouted back.
They both stared eachother down in silence, until they both started to fall. Jiraiya caught himself, and Orochimaru was caught by Kabuto.
"We'll finish this another time Jiraiya." Orochimaru sneered, and he and Kabuto disappeared.
Jiraiya managed to stay consciouss for another second, then he also collapsed.
