Ahem, to a certain reviewer named Narutobrat. I too like Shino's stoicness, but, like I said in the first chapter, he will remain incredibly OOC for the duration of this Fanfic. Thanks for the review though.

While Shino and Kurenai were in the middle of their spork fight, Kiba and Hinata snuck away to find out where this spork craze was coming from. As they walked down the forest path and into Konoha's depths, it became apparent to them where the source was… THE ALMIGHTY ROLEX INDUSTRY WAS MANUFACTURING SPORKS NOW!

'It was so obvious!' they thought, approaching the forbidding factory (I don't know if Konoha has watch factories or not, but it does now) and gawked as they strode up into the throne room. There, perched on the throne, was none other than Uchiha Itachi! It suddenly came to them. "So that's why the Akatsuki members wear big cloaks with clouds on them. They work for the Rolex!" Kiba stated (you know those shady people in the New York alleyways that wear big cloaks and always try to sell you a watch? That's what I mean.). "Yes, the Akatsuki has always been in allegiance with the almighty Rolex, which is why we were spared from there newest plot to take over the world with…BRAINWASHING SPORKS!" Itachi said with a grin.

"Soon, the whole world will be under our control…at least, the strong ones will be anyways", he said.

"What do you mean 'the strong ones'?"

"Well", Itachi began, "the sporks also have an addiction booster that will cause all who touch them to engage in a spork fight with the next person they see. At least, the next person they see wielding a spork, but when we launch phase 2…". Kiba began to understand…sorta. He still didn't get what phase two was about until Itachi pushed a button that conveniently produced a giant screen for all to see. "Phase 2 is a radio signal that will cause all spork wielders to aim for the heart when engaged in a spork fight; it also makes the sporks as sharp as kunai". Now they understood! Brainwashed, Kunai-sharp spork wielders would cause a huge problem! Then Kiba came up with a brilliant idea! "Hinata", he whispered, "let's go to KFC, they made sporks originally, so they should know how to deprogram them!"

Sorry, that's all for now… But now I will do a dance!
