Chapter 4

2:05 a.m.

"What in heaven's name is taking that boy so long! It doesn't take this long to pee!" Sakura was very annoyed. After she and TenTen had completed their shopping spree they had meet up with the boys again, saying honestly that they had not spotted Lee. They conveniently left out the part about not looking for him. It was now after two in the morning and neither group had seen hide-nor-hair of the boy. And now Naruto had to deal with Mother Nature and her unpleasant timing. Finally, the other two members of team seven heard a flushing sound and a few minutes later Naruto emerged, feeling much better.

"Aaah, much better. Now, what are we gonna do next?"

"We should get back to looking for Lee," said Sasuke quietly. Fatigue was starting to catch up with him. He would have those stupid chunin exams right before this stupid party, if you could call it that anymore. "Maybe the others are having fun still, but not us. Blasted dobe."

Enter the rest of Lee's team. Jumping down from the rooftop, TenTen and Neji hurried over to where team seven was currently standing. TenTen looked much too cheerful for their current predicament.

"I think I found a way to catch Lee," whispered the excited female. This caught everyone's attention, even Neji, who had not been told of this development. Sasuke had a sudden plunging feeling in his stomach, the kind you get right before a test you didn't study for.

"Care to elaborate," commented the Hyuuga, an impatient frown creasing his face.

"Ok, ok, here goes. You all remember what happened earlier, right?"

"Right," chorused the group, each remembering a different thing.

"Well I thought we could play off of that. Of course, if Sasuke disagrees this won't work."

"Of course he'll help," said Naruto confidently. TenTen beamed.

"Alright, this is what we'll do…" You all remember that 'pride to the wind' thing? Well, there it goes.

Later…

"You're sure there is no other way?" asked a very annoyed Uchiha. Four heads nodded at him, most wearing smug looks. Sasuke sighed and resigned himself to his fate and hoped none of his obnoxious fun club (outside of Sakura) ever saw him like this.

The Uchiha prodigy was rather different looking from when the conversation had started. He was now wearing a long black dress that billowed almost everywhere, a small amount of make up, and the world's deepest natural blush. After all, any boy would be rather embarrassed to be stuck in this particular get up after all the things that had happened so far tonight. As if to add insult to injury, he was tied very tightly to a pole in the middle of the street so that the others could be on the roofs all around him. Easy access, but a much higher chance of someone seeing Sasuke like this. Said Uchiha's blush deepened at the thought.

"Alright Sasuke, we want to go home, so make this quick, got it? Lee's already headed this way!" TenTen's voice sounded staticy through the radio, but everyone heard her nonetheless. Sighing again, Sasuke tried to find his voice. It seemed to have died in protest, but the impending doom was going to come either way. Clearing his throat, Sasuke shouted as loud as he could, praying all were asleep.

"Oh no, the evil Egg People have captured me! I wish my love would come save me! Oh, wherever could Rock Lee be?" Sasuke flinched at his high pitched voice, but it seemed to have worked. He could hear a shout of "I MUST PROTECT MY LOVE!" from where he was, so that must have meant that Lee was on his way. 'Oh joy,' thought Sasuke. 'Just because he won't remember this doesn't mean he see it!' As this thought crossed his mind, the naked shinobi burst into the street, tearing towards Sasuke as fast as he could.

Just as Lee was about to reach the pole, the four able shinobi leapt down upon him, knocking him unconscious. After making sure that there was no physical damage caused from his rampage, Naruto and Neji wrapped the boy up in a blanket. From there, TenTen and Neji took the boy away, probably to Gai-sensei's house, so that he could recuperate. Having completed their parts of the mission, Sakura and Naruto took their leave as well.

A few hours later, Naruto sat up in bed, completely alert. He had just remembered something very important that they had forgotten to do. Leaping out of bed, Naruto took off out the window to finish their part mission completely.

The Next Day…

THE DAILY KUNAI
UNKNOWN SHINOBI STREAKS!
Also, Orochimaru is spotted and mysterious articles are found!

Last night, an undercover Black Ops agent discovered that an unknown shinobi, pursued by other ninja, had begun to streak across the village during a Ninja Party being held at the Sitalisman, a new bar at the edge town. The Black Ops agent had join the pursuit, unbeknownst to the other ninjas chasing the streaking shinobi. However, he was detoured due to sighting the infamous rogue ninja, Orochimaru (last name unknown). Giving pursuit, Orochimaru was caught, but disappeared in the early hours of the morning. He is suspected to have had inside help.

In other news, a pole was discovered in the center of one of the streets of Konohagakure. Surrounding the base of the pole was an odd assort meant of clothing, all belonging to women in nearby homes save for one simple black dress. The owner has yet to be found. This is thought to be a prank, yet a watch has been established to ensure it does not happen again. Breaking and entering is still wrong, even as a harmless prank.

Sasuke stared at the paper, a laugh threatening to spill out at any second. Nobody had recognized him or Lee, though that could be expected. It was dark, and nakedness stands out more then bushy eyebrows ever could. Sasuke couldn't restrain the smile. Even though it was rather over done, and of questionable legality, Naruto's use of the dresses did cover up anything suspicious, even if discarding the dress was simpler. It was the thought that counted, right?

Having decided this, Sasuke got up out of the borrowed bed and set about making breakfast. After all, Naruto had saved his butt from severe humiliation, and gotten him out of that stupid dress. That deemed some form of thanks, and it wasn't like this was completely unlike him. He was using Naruto's eggs after all.

THE END!

A/N: Yes, it's over. However, now I can focus on how I'm gonna get the next chapter of The Humility Ritual up, which I have received requests to do. Fear not, I heard you, this just needed to get done first, because I shall be away for two weeks, during which time I will have the ability to write a decent chapter for THR. Thanks for reading, and I feel I should thank Serene again for the marvelous idea. That and this is the first combo story I've finished. YAY FOR US!

Until next time!
