AN: Alright so I really shouldn't have started this fic but since I did I'm going to finish it. It just might be a while so try to be patient. School is really hectic right now and as a procrastinator I am foolishly putting aside school work for something I enjoy much more (in this case writing my stories). However at some point I do have to stop and actually work on homework so bear with me for a while.

ayuka-chan I agree on the spandex issue, especially in green, not one of my favorite colors.

Wolvesmon, Azamiko, KunochiDreamer thank you. I hope it stays enjoyable not sure if it's gonna stay cute though, Anko can be quite frightening.

Jamakusai,Night-Owl123 hmmm… yeah updates may be a bit of a problem. But I swear it will be finished…eventually. Enjoy.

Jubei Himura I definitely considered that. I picked Shizune because I decided it would be funny to get her all frazzled dealing with Lee and Gai. Anko would just beat the shit out of them or something; instead she'll have fun with lazy-asses Asuma and Shikamaru.

Hujin green spandex should be outlawed. We'll see Neji something much classier.

Moonlightpath oh the shopping (cackles with glee).

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Yeah since I forgot to mention in the last chapter this is obviously AU (Sasuke's still there) starting after about chapter 177 of the manga that means there will be spoilers if you haven't gotten that far. Information about the past five years will be told throughout the story.

B regular stuff

B internal thoughts and such.

Picture Day

Eighteen year-old Hyuuga Neji sighed for the fifth time in under half an hour, which was exactly how late their sensei was to their weekly meeting. He briefly wondered if Kakashi was beginning to rub off on Gai before dismissing that idea. In order to pass the time he decided to study his teammates; he hadn't seen either in almost two months because missions had caused him to miss so many of their weekly meetings.

Thinking back over the years, it was easy to see that his team had definitely grown up. All three of them were currently Jounin. He had been promoted on his second try for the Chuunin title and had jumped to Jounin a year and half after that. He was currently working on an ANBU squad. Lee and TenTen had been promoted to Chuunin six months after him. Lee had jumped to Jounin at the same time as him much to Lee's pleasure and his own chagrin; TenTen had followed a year later. Lee had taken on a Genin team, but TenTen was also in ANBU; unfortunately the two were in separate squads, which explained why the three saw each other so rarely.

Lee was still a Gai clone, and TenTen still had too much fun with bladed weapons; other than that they had all matured and changed quite a bit. Lee had grown taller and was more muscled than he had been when they were fourteen, but his eyes were still obnoxiously wide. And as Naruto had a penchant for saying, "Fuzzy Eyebrows" still looked silly. Lee on the other hand couldn't care less, well that or he was just as dense as Gai-sensei…Right Neji thought. When Naruto had beat Lee and become a Jounin before them both – once again to Neji's chagrin, the blond brat had also managed to become Chuunin at the same time as him – Lee had declared the ever oblivious blond to be his eternal rival. It didn't help that Naruto had as much fun with Lee as Kakashi did with Gai.

TenTen had matured nicely as well. She was one of Konoha's top weapons users and her abilities were very…eclectic he thought with a grin. Though she still wore her hair in buns and her clothing had changed little, the girl was not the Tomboy she had been. She was almost as good at seduction as that annoying blond Shikamaru was stuck with. She could get in close to a target before striking with any number of weapons she had completely concealed. He still couldn't find all of the weapons she hid on herself.

Neji was torn from his silent contemplation by loud sobbing. He turned and his eyes widened a bit when he realized that he hadn't even noticed his sensei's arrival. His shock turned to annoyance when he realized the sobbing was coming from the overenthusiastic greeting Gai and Lee were lavishing upon each other. While they alternately sobbed and hugged, TenTen sidled up to Neji and whispered, "Try putting up with this when the only other sane member of your team decides to go off on missions and leave you here alone." Neji smirked and turned to respond when he was assaulted by his sensei's eccentric shouting.

"Neji my boy the light of youth shines brightly in you today," he said, causing Neji to look at him in confusion. TenTen smirked at him furthering his aggravation. As much as she loved her team it was quite fun watching Gai torture them. Sometimes she wondered if her sensei did it on purpose or if it was really his personality. She was torn from her thoughts when she noticed the young woman standing behind Gai watching the entire scene in bemusement.

"Shizune-san," Neji said with a slight bow to the Hokage's assistant. She smiled and returned the greeting before turning to Gai. "We should really be getting started with the explanation," she said sweetly trying to remain polite. Lucky for her she had gained a great deal of patience traveling with Tsunade and later dealing with the old ha…Hokage and Naruto.

"Right!" Gai shouted, giving Shizune the Nice-Guy pose.

She attempted not to sweat drop as she coughed politely trying to regain his attention. "In that case, you should probably explain to them why I'm here," she said pointing to his students.

"Of course," Guy shouted, turning his attention back to his students. TenTen did sweat drop at her sensei's absent mindedness; Neji just rolled his eyes; and Lee was the picture of attentiveness. "Our beautiful, ageless, powerful flower of a Hokage," he started, causing all but Lee to blink at him and shake their heads.

Gai coughed slightly when he realized he had lost their attention. "Tsunade-hime has decided that in order to make a most cool and youthful impression on our most influential and wonderful clients she needs to make a few…" he trailed off and blinked trying to come up with the proper word.

"Modifications?" Shizune suggested.

"Modifications!" Gai shouted enthusiastically while giving his Nice-Guy pose.

"What exactly are these modifications?" Neji asked hesitantly. If he were to be totally he honest he probably didn't want to know, especially not if Gai-sensei was so enthusiastic over it.

"Well you see," Gai said, scratching his head in embarrassment. "The more high paying clients, the ones you all along with the Rookie 9 tend to work for, receive a bit more information about the shinobi they're hiring," he began, glancing nervously at his students. TenTen and Neji exchanged confused glances, but Lee remained unabashedly attentive. "The pictures that are included in these files that they receive are a bit out of date," he added.

TenTen shrugged what Gai-sensei was saying made sense. Come to think of it I haven't had a picture taken for my files since… she suddenly looked up at Gai-sensei in horror. "Sensei," she started cautiously, "exactly how old are these pictures?"

Neji and Lee looked at her in confusion, but she wasn't paying attention to them. She knew that neither of the other two would ever figure out just how wrong this situation was.

Shizune almost felt sorry that Gai had been picked as messenger. Actually, she almost felt sorry for all the senseis; Kurenai would probably have the least negative reaction seeing as how Kiba would be the only one to give her any trouble. She had to suppress a grin when she thought about Kakashi's team. She wouldn't mind being there when they heard the news; actually, she didn't feel sorry for him at all.

Gai nervously scratched the back of his head and coughed causing his students to look at him. "Six years," he mumbled.

TenTen smacked her head and turned to her teammates. Lee looked confused for a few moments before comprehension dawned on his face and he whispered, "Uncool." Neji was stoic as always but TenTen could tell the boy – well man, really – was trying not to laugh. He was one of the few people who would find humor in this situation. He was one of the few people who found humor in anything the Hokage did; everyone else tended to be resignedly embarrassed. For all her power Tsunade is a blond, TenTen thought with a sigh.

AN: Alright I need cannon fodder here so I want suggestions. Kakashi needs a boyfriend so Naruto can make fun of him. As much as I love Iruka and Kakashi being paired together I want something different in this fic. There won't be any love scenes or anything I really just need to give Naruto material to use against Kakashi. Just remember Kakashi is gay so it needs to be a guy…like I said boyfriend. Secondly, you can suggest whoever you want but I won't pair him with anyone too young including members of the Rookie 9, also it won't be Gai or Asuma. Other than that I'd like to hear what you all want and any suggestions on other pairing are welcome as well.
