"URG!" screamed Naruto as he was trying to finish his training."Ha ha kit you sure look mad and wet" said Kyubbi roaring with laughter.Kaze looked at Naruto, who was shaking due to the cold water, couldn't hide a smirk. Naruto complained out loud "I have only one more excerise to complete so everybody just shut up!" he cried. Kaze used his Jagen eye to infiltrate Naruto's mind to see what he was thinking. He heared a very colourful arrangement of cursing.

Ko and Kavik who were sparring (take not: were) started laughing. It sounded more like barking and growling on Kavik's part. Kaze chuckled as, once again Naruto fell through the water."Sh-sh-shut up!" he scowled but continiued"Im almost done anyways" he pouted.

Many curses and yelps later.

Naruto, who was now soaking wet, walked back inside to changed out of his wet state and unsurprisingly Kaze was dry. Naruto first glared at his brother then started cursing maniacly out loud went to his room to change."Tomorrow we will be perfecting the training." he bellowed. "Shut up you stupid fox!" howled Naruto. "Well, start getting ready for class." moaned Kaze.

Soon, the brothers arrived in the near-empty class. Only Iruka and Sasuke were there. Iruka, being the teacher, had to be there and Sasuke came to savour the quiet. Naruto and Kaze, taking theire normal seats, sat down and started to talk mentally. "And here is another segment of Ninja Academy!" Naruto said in an announcer type voice. Kaze went to check on the two cannines and the were absent-mindedly snoring away. Naruto was also starting to fall asleep. 'Hey Reiko!" he cried but was cut of but the loud mental snoring. "fine be that way" he pouted noisily but not noticing he did. "Hey quiet down!" yelled Iruka trying to keep the silent steady."What is Iruka dense or something?" pondered Naruto but finally decided to check. kaze was sleeping lightly.

The sleeping four were rudely awaken when a wave of Sasuke-fangirls burst into the classroom, sqeavling at an ear splitting pitch(for those with with sensitive hearing a.k.a Naruto and company) "SASUKE-KUN!"

After the group of fangirls took thier normal seats Iruka yelled "Class I'm going to be gone for a few minutes, while I'm gone get to know each other. he said before leaving the room. After it was safe Naryto whispered something to Kaze "Hey Kaze you thinking what I'm thinking?" he said filling with excitement."Heh yeah." "Wait" he whispered "Why don't we add a tactic expert to this mastermind?" he said facing a certain boy's way. Why not." he replied while walking toward a boy.

"Oi, Shikamaru!" called Naruto to the half-awake student in front of them. "What dou you want, can't you see I'm busy!" he called. Well we want YOU to be in OUR prank." he wispered. "Well" he asked lookin lazy but attentively" What would I have to do?" Shikamaru questioned. "Nothing, really" he said smiling.

Soon the three were whispering before being five. Couji joined in because he saw Shikamaru there. Kiba was curious of what they were doing. Naruto and Kaze couldn't refuse to let them join because they hear to much and the would rat them out.

Quickly, so nobody could notice,they set up the prank they made. They positioned themeselves an waited anxiosly.

"Get ready" smirked Kiba after Akamaru carefully ran towards him from listening from the door. They watched as the door opened. As Iruka stepped throught, the erase fell on his head."Hun?" Iruka muttered, looking at the eraser on the floor."GAH!" he sputtered, catching the attention of the rest of the class. Four of the five pranksters had smirks on their faces as the itching powder started its effect.

As Iruka flailed around stepping on a wire, triggering Shikamaru's ingenious part of the prank. Unsharpened pencils (they didn't want to hurt him) flew and bounced off Iruka's body making him yelp in surprise. Connected to the last pencil was a wire making the heat tags stuck on top of the roof. Naruto smirked, adding chakra to the tags and making them produce heat. They all dived under the desks, motioning others to do so as well. Few did while others ignored them. Shino and Hinata were some of the few. As Sasuke looked up, realization lit in his eyes. He dashed for the cover of his desk, and just in time.

The heat from the tags started a little blaze, causing the sprinkler system to activate and take out the flame. It poured in the room, effectively soaking those who did not take the warning of the pranksters.

The sprinklers soon slowed to a stop, leaving others sputtering. The dry studdents crawled out under their desks and started laughing at the victims.Shikamaru and Naruto were chuckling while Chouji, Kiba, Akamaru, Ko and Kavik were full-blown laughter. Once again it sounded more like barking on Kavik's part. Kaze was quiet but had a hard time to hide a smile as they surveyed thier handywork.

Half the class were soaked, and glaring enviously at the ones who were dry. Iruka had a differnt reaction. He had seen that the fivewere the first to hide and knew they were the culprits. He walked to his desk glaring at the boys "If I get pranked one more time today, you guys are in for it!" screamed Iruka. Naruto's eyes widened "Wait don't sit-" PPFFTT!""-down." Iruka had gone enraged and cried as turning red "NNNNAAAARRRRUUUUTTTTOOOO!"

After school

"Man was that FUN!" yelled Kiba as Akamaru barked happily. "Yeah did you see the look on Iruka-sensei's face?" laughed Naruto "Wait, your blind how could you see the look on Iruka-sensei's face?" questioned Shikamaru "Well I was going to see what you were going to say." lied Naruto "Well anyway we should do that again." he said interrupting the awkward moment. "Hear hear!" Shikamaru and Kiba said together.

"Well were going to head home, see ya! Naruto said, while waving to his new friends "Matte." Naruto and Kaze turned "Were brothers" he muttered "Well, yeah but don't your parents pick you up?" asked Shikamaru while pondering over what the blond said. The sad boy flinched "Don't got any. Kaze is the closest thing I've got to family" he whispered."Oh sorry." Shikamaru said hastly. "It's all right." Naruto replied, turning and catching up to his brother. The Nara boy looked curious but then shrugged. "Too troublesome." he muttered before walking towards his favorite cloud watching place. Chouji followed Kiba went to the train.

As Naruto and Kaze were about to leave they were interrupted by a ninja, a jounin reading Icha Icha Paradise. "Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto saidto Kaze mentally. Naruto lapsed into a flashback.

Naruto who was now dodging blow after blow along side of Kakashi-sensei and the rest of team 7. It was getting pretty rough as all four of them were now taking on more that they could handle. "You alright Sakura-chan?" yelled Naruto. "Just peachy!" she responded sarcasticly. Kakashi, who was now taking twice as many ninjas exclaimed" Guys leave it's getting to rough!" "I never run away! Thats my nindo!" Naruto shouted "And I never let my subordinates die. GO! That's an order!" Kakashi commanded. Naruto just couldn't just leave his sensei to fight alone. Suddenly Sasuke grabbed his arm, already grasping Sakura's arm and rushed them out. "See ya." Kakashi said smiling as he now had a hord of shiobies to fight. (end of flashback)

'Yo." the masked silver haired jounin greeted. "The hokage wishes to speak with both of you" "Thank you. May I ask your name?" Naruto asked politely "Kakashi."he awnsered, the uncovered eye still focused on his book. Naruto nodded before he, Kaze and the canines dissapeared only to reappear in the office of the Hokage.

"Kakashi-san informed that you wished to see us." stated the blond. "Yes, do you think that you guys are up for a mission?" the boys leaned closer, impatience and excitement was leaking out of them. The 3rd chuckled before giving them a scroll and a brief explanation. He sent them on their way.
