candy44- Yeah . . . Chibis are kawaii

sasuto- Glad you like it! I will continue it!

HimeHikari- I will try to add more NejiTen moments. They are so cute together!

loveme731-Thank you for the review, I am glad you like it. About the adding the Sand Nins, the story is only revolved around Konoha. You see, only people of Konohagakure is affected by the 'Fountain of Youth,' so sorry! I'll try to add Gaara and his siblings in another story, maybe in one of the many stories that I'm working on. The summaries are in my profile. You can go ahead and pick any story you would like to star in with your Gaara-kun. Then you can respond back to me if you have picked one.


A/N: Now, to answer any confusion, the ages of all of the Genins and teachers are 6 years old, but their minds are half their age. So the teachers look like 6 years olds but they really have 12 or 13-year-old minds. You see, there is this equation I used to come up with this story. The equation is: (x)0+66, let x be the age of the person. LoL. Just kidding. Actually, I just wanted to make everyone six years old for the fun of it. I don't use math problems to write stories. That would be crazy. The only inspiration I get is watching my idiot friend and my own brother do stupid things. Yeah. I wished I had a camera to record all the things they do and say. It'll make you crack up and wish you have another set of lungs. LoL. Yup, they are that funny.

Hehe! Now that I got you hooked, here's the next chapter of 'The Chibi Problem.'

Chapter 2

-

-

The petal haired girl walked up to the group of little Genins and teachers. Everyone of them turned their attention to her as she arrived with the tray of frozen treats. Indeed, today was a hot day. Why wouldn't it be? It was summer and the weather was very warm out. Everyone is wearing either a dress or shorts to feel cool from the rays of the sun. Mountainous white pillows covered the sky while birds chirpped a happy tune, perched on branches. Yes, today was a beautful, a very good day to spend at a park.

"Here you all are," beamed Sakura. One by one, she handed out each of them a cone.

The teachers smiled when the female arrived with the tray of ice cream. She handed Kakashi a chocolate cone and proceeded to the next person. The silver haired Jounin took it with his gloved hands, deciding to eat it next to Sasuke. The Uchiha, who a bored look on his face, rolled his eyes as he saw his 'Sensei' sit next to him. With the ice cream, still in his hands, the Copy-Eye Nin gave his 'student' a smile, until Maito Gai came over to the bench. Raising his right brow, Kakashi looked at his 'rival.' In Gai's hand was a chocolate cone.

"I challenge you to an ice cream eating contest, Kakashi!" yelled Super-brows.

"Whoever finishes their ice cream first," said the 'mini' Gai, "will break the tied record of 68! I never lose! If by any chance I do, I will eat a whole gallon of ice cream of your choice! I promise!" Gai exclaimed with his 'good guy' pose. Kakashi sweat dropped as he stared at his 'rival,' who looked ridiculous in his green spandex suit along with the weird hairdo. No one would want to be caught dead in that fashion disaster, well, no one except Maito Gai and his loyal student Rock Lee.

'A whole gallon of ice cream of my choice, huh?' Kakashi thought. "There you go again with your impossible self-imposed rule. Well, then, let's go," said the lazy Jounin.

"Yosh!" Grinning his white teeth, a sound of 'ping' complimented the intense shine. "Now, on your mark, get set, EAT!" shouted Gai as he jammed his mouth into the ice cream. Drips of the milky substance plastered all over his face, making him look like a mud monster. Why, the site of him would make a baby cry. He looked over to his rival with his mouth hanging open with his super-thick eyebrows raised in shock. The suit on Gai was instantly covered with dots of chocolate ice cream that came out his mouth. Kakashi sat there, calm on the bench with nothing in his hands. The ice cream cone was gone. The question is: where did it go?

"Here you go, Shino," said Sakura, waving a cone in her left hand.

Shino, who, finally realized that the delicious mountainous of frozen cream with many grams of sugar in front of him was his, took it with his little hands and plopped down in a shady area to cool off.

After grabbing his cone, Kiba and Akamaru ran to the monkey bars, where Lee was, yelling "I'm going to be King of the Playground," or something similar to that. Hinata sat quietly on the bench, along with Kurenai and Asuma, all licking their ice cream slowly, while they watch everyone having fun. Sakura could see that the other Genins have already finished their treats and went back to the activity they were doing. Ino was again in the fields, making a bouquet out of summer flowers.

Besides her, Shikamaru seemed to be in a slumber on the grassy side of the fields. Sakura's gaze turned to the swings as she can see Naruto go higher every time he's in the air. The chains of the swings squeaked as he little legs pushed him forward. In the sandbox, Ten-Ten and Neji are enjoying themselves as they filled more sand into the pail. Patting it down with their little hands, they turned it over to reveal a molded wall of their sand castle. The only one missing was Chouji. Where the heck was he? She could have sworn she saw him a minute ago.

The time on her clock read 11: 59 a.m. Oh, Kami-sama, how she had prayed for this day to end faster. So much had already happened in the last fifty-nine minutes. The people of Konoha were turned into children this morning, leaving Sasuke and her to babysit the Genins teams. Babysit! And the ridiculous thing of all is that they are all 6 year olds! They were already hard to handle when they were 12 years old, now divide that in half and you get this. Well, at least they are all potty trained. She would die if she had to change their spoiled diapers every hour. It was something she didn't want to think about.

There was something else on her mind she would rather not want to think about: the event that had happened last night. The memory of it kept on replaying in Sakura's mind over and over again. She couldn't take it out of her mind! She was scarred for life! As if that wasn't bad enough, the others knows that she was at Sasuke's house last night. Oh, if they found out what they had done or SAW, Sakura's head would be in hot water right about now. It was a good thing they have all turned into little kids. Such young and innocent little kids. Yeah, right!

"I WANT MY ICE CREAM BACK, YOU PRICK!"

"It was MINE in the FIRST place!"

"YOU HAD ENOUGH, FATTY! NOW HAND IT OVER!"

"I'm NOT FAT!"

"Whatever, tubby! Give me a bite!"

"NO! GO AWAY!"

"Not until you give me a bite!"

"Where is yours, anyways?"

"I ATE it all. Now stop being a PIG, and share!"

"I don't wanna! I DON'T WANNA!"

"WHAT'S going on here!" Sakura stepped in. Looking back at her, Chouji's and Naruto's hands continued to tug the chocolate ice cream cone back and forth consciously.

"He won't give me back my ice cream!" Whined Chouji, pulling the cone toward him.

"LOOK AT HIM! He already HAD one," pointed Naruto, giving it a harder tug in his direction.

"Let GO!"

"NO, YOU LET GO!"

"I'll let go, if you let it go first!"

"I'M NOT FALLING FOR THAT TRICK AGAIN, JELLY-ROLL!"

"I'm TELLING!"

"GO AHEAD!"

Sakura's face turned into a scowl. Where did that come from? She was definitely sure she had handed Chouji a vanilla cone. The only reason was because she didn't want him to make a mess, being the potato-chip-eater he was. He will either gulp down the thin fried crisps or nibble them. Sakura, who had past experiences with chocolate ice cream, knew that you should NEVER give that flavor to a messy kid. It was common sense.

Chocolate flavor ice cream plus responsible kid equals good eats. Chocolate flavor ice cream plus messy kid equals a no-no because a messy kid is not what she needed right now. She had no time to give them baths! Good thing she handed the chocolate ones to Ten-Ten, Neji, and Lee. She knew she could trust them with the 'messy' flavor. She wished she could say the same to their Sensei, who was currently is gone. The look of panic overtook her eyes. Scanning over the playground, she could see the teachers on the bench chatting happily with an 'I'm-bored-as-hell' look from Sasuke.

"Where did you get that cone?" asked Sakura sternly. Naruto looked like he was caught red-handed and turned to Chouji, hoping that he had the answer.

"It fell from the sky," answered Chouji.

"It WHAT!"

"It FELL from the SKY!" He yelled louder.

Sakura's eyes narrowed at a certain someone. Kakashi-sensei. 'Fell from the sky, eh?' she thought.

"Chouji, give me that ice cream cone." Sakura took it without the chance of letting Chouji protest and walked over to her Sensei. "I'll get you two another kind of ice cream!" She promised, making sure that they would not cry or throw a tantrum. Chouji glared at Naruto. His chance to eat another ice cream cone was gone because of a certain blond. Climbing onto the bench, Chouji sat there with his legs dangling under him and watched Naruto stalked off to the forest nearby. Digging in his pockets, the Akimichi pulled out a cherry-red lollipop. After ripping off the clear wrapper, he popped it in his mouth, sucking it hungrily as he waits for the pink headed girl to come back with his ice cream cone.

"Kakashi-sensei, where is Gai!" The Jounin rubbed the back of his head and gave his 'student' a nervous smile. Standing in front of him was Sakura with her hands on her hips. The glare of her gave Kakashi the chills. Indeed, the intent to kill was in the air. Looking at his sides, the silver haired boy could see that he had no where to escape. Hell, Sakura had the look of murder in her eye and the only thing he did was give that chubby kid his ice cream cone. He was being the generous one, giving away his cone on a hot summer day like this, so why is she acting like he poisoned someone? Admitting defeat, the boy opened his mouth to answer.

"You see . . . " Kakashi trailed off. "He challenged me to a ice cream eating contest. Then he made this 'stupid' rule to eat a gallon of ice cream if he lost, which by the way, he did. So I told him to go eat a gallon of whatever ice cream he can get his hands on. Yup, that's all."

"YOU WHAT!" screamed Sakura, making all the teachers turn their attention to her.

"He said-" Asuma started.

"I KNOW what he SAID!"

Asuma's face went sour and crossed his arms. Murmurs of 'I was only trying to help' came from under his breath. Turning to Kurenai, he tugged her toward the swings and offered he'd push. Smiling, the Sensei of Team 8 ran happily to the playground, almost feeling sorry for Kakashi being yelled at by the cherry blossom Genin. Well, almost.

"KAKASHI-SENSEI!" Her hands formed a fist, wanting to pound the Jounin on the head. Then a look of terror appeared on Sakura's face.

' . . . whatever gallon of ice cream he can get his hands on.'

"Oh, hell no!" yelled Sakura. If he got his hands on more chocolate ice cream, she would have to give him a freaking bath! Throwing the already melted ice cream cone in the trash, Sakura dashed at the speed of light in the to direction the store.

Sasuke did nothing but sat on the bench, keeping his eyes on the children playing on the playground. Someone had to watch them, you shouldn't leave children unsupervised, not even for ONE second. If you do, this kind of thing will happen: children will become missing and would parents scream their heads off, trying to find their lost child. It would even make the lost kid embarassed, watching his mother scream like she was crazy about her lost child when the kid is just a few feet from her, playing behind the trees or bushes. If the mother was smart, she'll know that the child would turn up if she would just shout out his name. Then again, that would be more embarrassing, knowing that the crazed, overprotective woman screaming your name is your mother. Maybe that's why they want to be 'lost' in the first place. That, was one of the wonders in life that you often think about if were to be 'lost' or get 'lost' just to let the time pass by. Is there a wonder in life to think about when you're grounded?


Peeking in the windows, she saw no one in sight. The whole store was empty, just like she left it. Pictures and drawings made by kids are taped on the walls everywhere. The decorations of 'SCREAM if you like ice CREAM' bordered the sides of the walls with photos of children enjoying the sweet, creamy confection under them. White tiled floors sparkled clean as if the owner cleaned them every day. Who wouldn't? By the end of the day, the polished floor will probably get sticky from the drips of the frozen treat. The white tables and chairs seemed to be in place, except one was MISSING!

Pushing the door, Sakura went inside to see if a tub of ice cream was messing from the ice cream parlor. Unfortunately, one was. Soft sounds of someone groaning could be heard on the other side of the counter. Moving in the direction of the sounds, she couldn't believe what she saw. One the ground was Gai, all covered in STRAWBERRY ice cream. Next to him was the missing chair, which was placed to one of the opened sliding glass windows of the freezer that stored the gallons of ice. Leaning in farther, Sakura saw the boy with one of his little hands covered his stomach and the other on his forehead.

"Brain freeze," moaned Gai as he tried to sit up.

"SHANNARO! I'M GOING TO GET KAKASHI FOR THIS!" Pledged Inner Sakura.

As if eating a whole gallon of ice cream and getting it all over himself wasn't bad enough, Gai did the MOST DISGUSTING thing EVER! She can forgive him for making the stupid bet. No, she couldn't. She can forgive him for eating a whole gallon of ice cream. No, she couldn't. She can forgive him for making a mess. No, she couldn't. She can forgive him for getting a brain freeze. Yeah, she could. It was his own stupidity that got him that in the first place. BUT she CANNOT forgive him for THIS! HE THREW UP, RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER!

"Ahhhh!" Sakura screamed as gushing milky ice cream came flying out Gai's mouth and onto the tiled floor. With her swift move, Sakura survived the 'Attack of the Throw Up' and pinched her nose to block out the smell of the 'food that had been in stomach and just now came out right in front me.' It was a miracle that she could even avoided that. If one droplet of puke came close of touching her, Gai and Kakashi-sensei would be in a VERY LONG TIME OUT!

Sakura stepped farther away from the 'puking machine' she grabbed a whole bunch of napkins from the metal dispenser behind her.

"H-h-here," she said shakily, making sure she would not step on the purple glob of 'stomach waste.' Gai accepted them with his sticky hands and quickly wiped himself. Closing her eyes, Sakura sighed of relief. At least this wasn't something she had not handled before. She remembered the her when cousins were making sundaes at her house. Let me tell you, it was NOTHING compared to THIS. One minute you see them on the table, happily making their sundaes and the next minute, they are gone, and so is the bottle of CHOCOLATE syrup!

It took Sakura days to clean up the 'finger paintings' in the living walls. As if that wasn't bad enough, she was grounded for a whole month without desserts! What had she done wrong! All she did was gave her cousins a little treat and she got grounded for THAT! What else are they gonna ground her for? For cleaning up her room! Parents. You can't live with them, or without them.

Opening her eyes, she could hear running water coming from one of the restrooms. Well, at least she didn't need to watch him do that. Sakura scrunched at the smell that filled in the room. 'Oh, god,' she thought as realization just hit her. 'I HAVE TO CLEAN UP THIS WHOLE MESS!' You can't help but to feel sorry for her. Walking to the door that read 'Supplies Closet,' Sakura grabbed a mop and a bucket along with a bottle of 'Sparkle and Clean.' Some one up there really must hate her. Poor her.

"SHANNARO! KAKASHI WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS!"


On the far side of the playground two kids laughed with joy.

"Push me higher, Sarutobi," exclaimed Kurenai. Her dark hair tickled her cheeks at the summer breeze and at the force at which she was pushed. Her grip on the chains connected tighter as she embraced the speed coming behind her. Asuma does as she wishes, pushing her with all of his might. His face were flushed from all of the movement and running he had been doing for the past ten minutes.

'Man, I need to stop smoking so much,' he thought. Even for a ninja, who trains almost everyday of their life, needed to exercise. Unless you are sick of course, but they didn't need to worry about sickness because they have the best medicine in the Fire Nation. All you need is to rest and you'll be up and moving. There is no excuse for staying in bed for days just because you have a cold. For others who are lazy will just be punished for being absent for so many days. Yup, there is no excuse, unless you're lazy and the best of the class. Now that was hard to complain. Why would that person be punished if they are already the top of their class, but they're lazy? Who in the right mind would do that? Someone jealous, perhaps?

"You know, if you pushed her even harder, she could reached the moon," a voice said. Looking at the direction of where it came from, they saw Kakashi, standing there with his hands in his pockets.

"Buzz off. Don't you have someone else bother?"

"Lucky for you, no," he smiled mischievously underneath his mask.

The two boys glared at each other, both determined to claw each's eyes out at any moment. Kurenai saw from the corner of her ruby orbs that they were going to fight. That's what boys do, they always fight. If they didn't agree on anything or got mad at someone, they would fight. It's like an unwritten rule in somebody's book. In a guys' rule book, nether less. If you don't like that person, you would want to beat them up, right? A punch here, and a kick there and the fight would be over, but this is different. The boys here are not just boys, they are ninjas. Sure, they can punch and kick all right, but they can also use ninjutsu, genjutsu or their blood limits. A flash of the blond female the teenagers had called 'Hokage,' entered her mind.

"For the rest of the day, you guys cannot use any Ninjutsu. Not even your bloodline limits."

A sigh of relief came over Kurenai. The boys can't use any of their ninja skills. The worried look on her face soften as she continue to feel the warm air on her face while the two boys stare at each other annoyingly. Boys, they think they are so tough but they are not, always on guard and giving girls the macho act whenever they are in their presence. Why can't boys just be themselves? Now that, is the universal question a girl will never figure out, no matter how smart they are.


A little brunette nearby had the look of concern in her eyes.

"Those two look scarey, ne?" a girl asked her friend. Looking over with his pearl eyes, the boy blinked confusingly at the three Jounins at the swings set. He could see the silver haired one looking casually as he rests his folded arms over his chest. Taking a closer peak, Neji could have sworn the bushy haired one stuck out his tongue and blown a raspberry.

'Why are they acting like that?' he thought. If that one boy wanted to play with the swings, then he should just sit on the one next to them. That's the reason the park has two swings instead of one, right? The swings are fun, he had to admit, but not as fun as this. The sleeves of his blue kimono were rolled up to his elbows, while his long hair is tucked behind his ears. Next to him was his friend, who was filling more sand into the plastic pail. The fine grains of eroded rock slid down the shovel with a sizzling sound at the motion of the brunette girl. Both of her hands grasped the handle of the rectangular spade, scooping more and more sand into the container.

"Do you think their faces will stay like that, Neji-kun?"

Giving her a small smile, he replied, "No."

'No, but I want to stay like this,' thought the Hyuuga as he patted down the sand along with Ten-Ten to make it stay still.

"Ten-Ten, are you having fun?"

"Yeah!"

"That's good."

"Are you having fun, Neji-kun?"

"Yes."

"I wonder why the kids over there are not having as much fun as we are."

"I don't know."

"Maybe that boy wants to be their friend," she suggested. Neji looked back at the group. The looks of the other boys' face didn't seem like they wanted to be friends. They looked more like enemies.

"I don't think so."

"Huh? Why not?"

"Nevermind."

"Aww . . . come on, tell me," the girl implored.

"Are you my friend, Ten-Ten?" Her corners of her mouth turn in a smile.

"Of course!"

"You would never give me that look that they are giving each other, right?" Swifting a little over, the female peeked at the boys' faces.

"No. I can never give you that look, Neji-kun." Ten-Ten tried to imitate the looks that they boys were giving one another causing the Hyuuga to laugh. Her own mouth grinned at her silly attempt to look angry.

"Y-y-you look like a monkey," giggled the brunette as she glanced over at her friend's 'scowling' face. They both started to burst in a laughing fit while they had their hands covering their mouths.

"Let's finish the castle, ne?" With a nod, their little hands brush one another, but they ignored it and continued to build their 'castle.'

The day in the park is not complete until you have build your own sand castle. It just makes you content that you have left something of your making behind, knowing that the kids will want to do the same thing. The Roman Empire wasn't built in a day, but it cannot be forgotten either. To run an empire, you must need a King and people know that every King, needs a Queen. Eyeing his female friend, red tints formed on his cheeks while he watches her fill more sand in the pail next to him. A wide smile spread on his face as continue to think to himself. He was the King and she was his Queen.


"HEYYOU, THERE! YEAH, I'M TALKING TO YOU, FUZZY-BROWS!" yelled Kiba. Akamaru gave a little bark to get the boy's attention.

'Is that guy deaf or what?'

"HELLO! HEY, YOU BIG HEADED DORK WITH THE GREEN SUIT!"

Again, the boy didn't turn. Instead, he continued to climb from one bar to the next at an amazing speed. His face was sweaty, but he didn't seem to care. Rock Lee just grabbed the silver bar in front of him and swung his body in a one-two rhythm. He was going grabbed the next one when a huge rock hit his head, causing him to stop mid swing. Releasing his grip, Lee landed on the wood-chirped ground in a thud and rubbed his head.

"OH, THAT GOT YOUR ATTENTION!"

Rock Lee didn't do anything but blinked at the boy in front of him. His brown hair matched the color of his eyes, but what shocked Lee was the markings on his face. Two red triangles, pointing down, were vertically on each side of his cheek. Right next to the boy, he could see a white puppy with a little fluff on top of his head that he assumed it was the dog's 'do.' Lee couldn't say a thing, but stared.

"HELLO? ANYONE HOME!" explained Kiba, waving his hands in front of the boy with overly thick eyebrows.

"GEEZ! THIS GUY IS DEAF, A MUTE, AND BLIND!" the boy said to his canine.

"NO WONDER HE WAS ALL BY HIMSELF!" It took Lee a second before he realized Kiba was talking about him. Extending his hand out if front of the brunette, Lee smiled.

"Hello my name is Rock Lee. Nice to meet you."

"Oh, so you're NOT deaf, a mute, and blind!"

"Um . . . no, I'm not," wondering what gave him the idea.

"Well, I just wanted to tell you that I am the 'King' of this playground, so you have to get away from my fortress."

"Fortress? What fortress?"

"The one right here, you big idiot!" pointed Kiba. There is no sign that said 'HERE,' but what he meant was the 'big toy.' What is a big toy, you ask? A big toy is a huge mousetrap made completely with a slide at a great height, some ladders, a bridge with railings, so you won't fail off, and even a tic-tac-toe wall. Yes, it was a kids' . . . er . . . Kings' dream to have a tall tower to look over the park . . . I mean, his kingdom. A King can never get lonely as long as he can look superior and have subjects to boss around. A marble clicked in the Inuzuka's brain. 'Subjects,' he thought.

"Actually, I have a better idea."

Lee looked at Kiba like he grew another head or something.

"Let's play together. Okay, what we are playing is called 'King Kiba.' I'm be King Kiba," boasted the boy, "and Akamaru here can be the warrior."

"What can I be?" asked Lee, eager to play.

"You can be my subject!"

"What's a 'subject'?"

"It's a person who does things when the king tells them too." Kiba explained.

"Oh. Okay, so now what do we do?"

"WWWAAARRRRR!" Roared Kiba as he climbed quickly up the ladder to the highest tower with Akamaru on his head. Jumping back, Lee looked astounded as he followed Kiba to play this new game called 'King Kiba.'

'I wonder what 'war' is,' he thought. 'I hope it's fun.'


"WAKE UP, you bum!" a girl screamed. In her hands were a bunch of flowers she had picked. Nudging the boy's side with her foot, Ino kicked harder to make him move. Her brows knitted together when the spiky haired boy didn't seem to budge.

"Why you good for nothing PINEAPPLE HEAD!" Ino screeched. Eyes filled with anger, she took the flowers in her hands and used it as a club, hitting him hard on the head at every swing. Petals and leaves fell of the steams and buds, leaving them all bare. The boy got irritated and opened one of his eyes.

"Why are you hitting me!" he asked.

"Oh, so NOW you're awake! Get off your butt, and let me pass!"

"How troublesome." The blond girl in front of him stood over him with slight irritation in her blue eyes. Her hands were on her hips clutching on green bare steams. "You can just walk around me, you know."

"No, I can't."

"Yes, you can."

"NO, I CAN'T!" said Ino loudly, wacking her 'flowers' on his head.

"There is a whole field to walk around, why do you have to walk pass me?"

"Because of the flower path," she answered.

"What 'flower path?' "

"The one you're on!" Looking behind her, he could see petals of flowers with a mixture of yellow, pink, and white all scattered in a lined on the grassy field.

"You can just walk over me." Huffing a breath, Ino did not step over him but on him. Her left foot collided harshly on the Nara's stomach making him gasp in a sharp breath. Ino only pushed harder as she watched Shikamaru choke. Swinging his arms like crazy, Shikamaru tried to get the girl's foot off him. Once he felt her soft hands, he grabbed it tightly and pulled her down toward him. Ino yelped as she lost her balance and was pulled to the ground. Her head did a crash landing on the boy's chest, making her head throbbed in pain. With her eyes closed, Ino could still feel the boy's heart pound rapidly and still holding her hand. The blond was on the boy's chest! A muffled voice wheezed slightly, but she didn't understand a word of it. Blinking, ocean blue orbs adjusted to the position she was in.

"Geft oft" Ino's brows knitted together.

"Get off," she heard again. Slowly, she pushed herself up, several inches away from the boy's face. He blew the strands of her hair out of his face, and founded himself looking into two cerulean orbs. The Nara scowled and pushed her off him. A wave of heat formed on his face as he looked at the girl. Her golden bangs were held in a clip off to the right side with her short hair brushing against her shoulders. She sat there in silence, with her back at him.

"W-what were you doing, anyways?" Ino finally spoke.

"I was cloud watching." The girl faced him and raised a brow.

"Cloud watching? How is that fun?"

"You have to use your imagination. Just look up the sky." Ino did what he told and saw fluffy groups of cotton balls move ever so slightly.

"You see that one there?" He pointed.

"Which one?"

"That one right there near that group of big puffy clouds." Changing her position, Ino went closer to the boy to see what he was pointing to.

"It looks like a rose," said Ino with a smile on her face. Soon she laid down next to him on the field and gazed her head to the sky. Their elbows touched slightly at the close distance. A bit of shade covered them as they watched the clouds together, not caring about anything but the white, fluffy, marshmallows in the wild blue yonder.


Shino sat quietly underneath the tree. His hands were in his pockets as usually, watching the kids play. Little legs could be felt on his skin under his coat that he always wore. Being apart of the Aburame clan, Shino was accustomed to having bugs crawl all over his body. Shino respects every type of insects and bugs that he comes across. Big or little, they were apart of nature and are everywhere. Right now, million and trillions of bugs are probably crawling on your skin. Don't believe me? Well, it's true. Even though, you can't see them, they are on you. It's a balance in nature.

An example is bed bugs. Yes, bed bugs, they do exist. While you sleep, million of them would crawl all over you, eating all of the dead flakes that forms on you face and body. You don't feel them, but they are there. Humans and bugs benefit from each other. The bed bugs eat your dead skin and you will wake up feeling good. They don't call it beauty sleep for nothing. It's a free face and body manicure, but you don't know it because you're asleep. It's one of those things in life you don't learn until you have science. Sometimes, there are things that you just don't WANT to know. But now you know, that bugs are everywhere: on your face, all over your body, and on your food. You can't see them, but they are there.

From the corner of his eye, a movement caught his attention. He could see a colony of ants carrying leaves and nuts on their backs while they walk in a line to the ant hill. Ants, a type of insect that can lift up things six times their weight. Some can even lift 10 times their weight. They are amazing little creatures, who can establish a whole insect world with the help of each other. Ruled under a queen, the drones would get the work done as they work together.

Pushing his sunglasses up to the bridge of his nose, Shino watched in silenced as they pile up the ant hill, going in and out, bumping to each other as they leave.


His sapphire eyes blinked rapidly as he rub the corners of his eyes.

'What the heck is in my eye?' he thought. Using both of his hands, Naruto tried again and again stop the irritation on his eyeballs. Why do things get in your eyes anyways? Isn't it your eyelashes job to keep things from getting in your eye? Sure, he had short lashes, but at least he wasn't lash-less. That would be horrible! He would be blinded if he was born without eyelashes. It's a good thing he wasn't because then, he wouldn't be able to see the delicious steaming hot ramen every time he ate a bowl.

"W-w-wha-at's-s t-the m-matter?" With his visible eye, the blond boy could see a young girl standing in front of him. Her hands were fidgeting nervously on her on her silver sleeves of her formal kimono.

"Something flew into my eye," exclaimed Naruto. "I can't see!"

The next moment, he felt a soft flow of air on his eyeball. Releasing his eyelid, he blinked a couple of times and finally regained his vision.

"I CAN SEE AGAIN!" Naruto yelled. The girl next to him cringed at the loud volume of his voice.

"Hehe, thanks." Stepping closer, he clearly see that they were about the same height. Her violet hair shone a hint of navy-blue under the shades of the trees, while he look into her ivory obs. They were beautiful. Averting her gaze, Hinata turned her head elsewhere. Her cheeks felt warm, not from the heat, but by the seeing the person in front of her. She felt like there are butterflies in her stomach when see first saw him on the swings. Hinata was about to leave when he called out to her.

"So, what's your name?"

"M-my n-name is H-H-Hinata." The Hyuuga Heiress said softly.

"Hinata," he recited. "That's a nice name! My name is Naruto." A small smile formed on her face. "Hey, do you want to play on the swings? I'll push you!" Hinata's face nervous turned into a shock. Had she heard right? Is this boy in front of her asking her, Hyuuga Hinata, to play with him? Slowly inching her little fingers to her other hand, she pinched herself, making sure that she wasn't dreaming. A sting was instantly felt when she jerked back from the pain. She was indeed not dreaming. This was real. Hinata's smile widen as she gave Naruto a nod of agreement.

"Great!" Pulling on her hand, Naruto walked Hinata over to the swing set, not noticing her blush on her face. Sandals pounded lightly on the blades of grass with each step as they continue to walk over to the swing set.


Onyx eyes scanned the view in front of him. He can see the Hyuuga in the sandbox with the girl in buns, who he had forgotten her name. The Dobe and the Hyuuga Heiress were on the swings along with the teachers, except for Gai. Rock Lee and the 'King Kiba' were on top of the slide while his white puppy sat on the metal inclined plane. Chouji continued to sit on the bench near the sandbox and sucked on his lollipop greedily. The Yamanaka girl and Nara were on the field far across the park, laying down next to each other and pointing up the sky occasionally. Here he was, sitting here on the damn wooden bench with nothing to do. Sasuke was bored out of his mind!

What is so fun about the park? Sure, it has big toys and swings set, but how is that fun? Obviously, he had forgotten the enjoyment of the playground. It was the time to be free and doing things you want with other children. Free from the nagging of your moms to clean up, or the shouts of 'stop doing that!' when you did something 'wrong.' The park is an adventure. You can do anything and no one can tell you what to do. You can stay here for hours, having the time of your life, until your mom calls you that it's time for dinner, and that suck eggs. To a kid, the park is the land of freedom. Freedom for just a few hours anyways.

Sakura was gone for awhile now and he was going to get a tan if he sat on the bench any longer. With a frown on his face, he just watched the many displays of kids playing on the playground.

"S-s-s-asuke-kun," someone shouted. Turning his head toward his female team mate, he saw her pant heavily with her hands on her knees. After a couple of inhales and exhales, Sakura regained her posture and opened her mouth to speak.

"Sasuke-kun, you have to help Gai. He's been in the restroom for a long time and I don't want to go in there, so can you go get him?" She said lamely, biting on her bottom lip.

The Uchiha stared at her. She was standing so close to him, he could smell her scent. It was flowery, but with a touch of lemons. The pink locks of hers blew slightly in the breeze with her emerald eyes looking at him with hope. Her hands were in front of enter wined as if she was begging him. Sasuke gave her a blank look and continued to stare at Sakura. He could see the tiredness in her green orbs and it wasn't even half past noon yet. Getting up, he walked on over to the ice cream parlor as Sakura slumped in his seat, letting out a great big breath. She was glad that Sasuke agreed to help her.

There was no way she was going into the men's room even though every adult in town was turned into children. There was just no way. She wouldn't even go in there if someone paid her a million bucks. There is a reason why there is a men's room and a women's room. It's called privacy. If a man came into the ladies' room while she is in there, she would knock the CRAP out of that guy, unless it was Sasuke-kun, of course. Stretching out her limps, she could see Sasuke walking closer and closer to where Gai is. Then it came across her. Gai was covered with STRAWBERRY ice cream. Sakura gazed at the children in the playground and back at the location of the store, and again at Sasuke. 'Oh well,' she thought. 'It is his problem now.'


The bell that dangled near the door, rang when he stepped into the store. Immediately, he could smell a strong scent of lemons. It was the same scent on Sakura. The refreshing fume was all over the store, making it all sweet and clean at the same time. Along the counters, large freezers with glass panels took up the majority of the store. In the back, cones, straws, wax paper, and cups piled neatly in a stack. Napkins in dispensers were set on the centers of tables with the chairs pushed in. On the ceilings, fans turn slowly in a clockwise motion, accumulating air all around the store. The cool breeze fluttered Sasuke's black long bangs as he proceeded into the direction of the restrooms. Standing in front of the door that read 'Men's Room,' he took one of his hands out of his pockets and turned the knob. As the green door pushed open, water flow out like a rushing water. Sasuke's left eye made a twitch. 'What the HELL happened in here?'

Darting his onyx eyes all over the room, he could see that it was WET. Beneath him, water splashed as he walked slowly toward Gai. All of the sinks in the restroom was filled with water, tipping over pearly counters and dripping onto the already wet floor. Like a deer caught in headlights, he twisted the faucets to make the water stop flowing out of it. Soaked to the bone, he shivered slightly at the cold hard glare of the Uchiha. Holding in his breath, Gai closed his eyes until everything around him turned black.


A shadowy figure loomed over her, blocking the warm rays of the sun. Turning her gaze from the playground, she looked up and saw the Uchiha standing next to her. One of his hands was in his pocket while the other held a rope. She could see blue chakra emitting from the thick rope and it trailed behind him.

"S-sasuke-kun," she opened her mouth. "Where's Gai?" the female inquired.

Sakura only hoped that Sasuke didn't kill him. The super-brows as Naruto dubbed him, was a wild child, but he doesn't deserve to be murdered. Sure, she wanted to kill him when he was covered in strawberry ice cream. She wanted to strangle him when he barfed right in front of her. She wanted to kill him and make him pay when she had to mop up the throw up. She could remember stench upon thinking about it. Sakura winkled her nose. It was something she would never EVER wanted to experience again.

Tugging harder on the chakra rope, Sasuke turned his head over his shoulder. A few feet away, a figure hopped slowly into view. Even from a far distance, Sakura could tell it was Gai. His bowl haircut reflected like silver from the generous amount of gel that he had applied on his head. A space shown his beady eyes between the bindings of the rope. Every part of his body was bound together like a caterpillar in a cocoon with his hands by his sides and his legs close together. At last, a few dozen hops later, Gai was standing somewhat close to Sasuke, trembling. Sakura saw the liquid that dripped onto the grass next to them. The Sensei of Team Gai was all WET and was not covered in the pink strawberry ice cream moments before. Well, at least he wasn't sticky.

"So, where was Gai?" The two Genins shot a glare at the Jounin. Standing next to them was their 'Sensei.' Kakashi's act of being innocence could be proved falsely by the lazy tone of his. He thinks he looks so innocent, but Sakura and Sasuke knows very well that he was not. Little or not, he was a troublemaker. The strict, team working, Sensei of Team 7 was nothing but a brat.

"What?" Gai stood there, but muffled something from underneath the ropes. Ignoring him, Sasuke handed the rope to Sakura and sat down on the bench.

"What? Is that all you can say, Kakashi-sensei!" screamed Sakura. "You know very well where he was and you didn't even try and bothered stopping him!" she pointed at him.

"SHANNARO! YOU LAZY-ASS, ICHA ICHA PARADISE READING PERVERT!"

"You, mister," the angry female glared at the tied-up-Gai. "are going to take a bath. And you!" The silver haired boy gulped. "You are going to give him that bath!"

"Listen, lady," said Kakashi. Sakura's eyes had the 'I'm-going-to-kill-you-if-you-call-me-that-again look. Sweat dropping, he tried again. "Okay, okay, I'll give him a bath, but were are kind of missing one thing, pinky, a bath tub." Her knuckles turned white, holding back them back with all of strength to not pulverize her 'Sensei.'

'This is not good,' thought Gai, standing between them as darted his gaze back and forth from his rival to the petal haired girl.

Sasuke only had a smirk on his face. He didn't know about his sensei's past, but he could assume that Kakashi was a juvenile delinquent. His female team mate had that pissed-off-rage that any girl would have if you messed with them on the wrong week of the month. He also could see that she couldn't hold back any longer. The word 'pinky' got her even more pissed off than having her being called 'lady.'

"You can give him a bath at the Uchiha residence," he said simply. Sakura and Kakashi tore from their eye staring contest and looked at the Uchiha, who only looked back. He didn't have a choice. The thought of having the kids running around his house annoyed him greatly, but he could always keep them in his backyard. They can do whatever they want in the backyard that people would normally call a forest. It was his property so he can call it whatever he liked. Sakura smiled in victory.

"You were saying?" The Jounin gave her a glare. Handing the chakra rope to him, Sakura walked over to the playground.

"Oi! Minna-san!" The little Genins stopped what they were doing and stare at the cherry blossom. Smiling cheekily, she yelled, "We're going on a field trip!" As soon as they heard the word 'field trip,' Sakura could see the little tykes running up to her. Exciting cheers of "We're going on a field trip!" echoed in the air from everyone as they jumped up and down. Everyone except for the quiet Hinata, Neji, Ten-Ten, Shino and lazy Shikamaru that is.

Sakura beamed at the group in front of her. Kids are so easy to trick. If they only knew the truth that they were ALL going to get a bath when they get there, she would have a time of her life searching for the rascals. Little as they are, they still have the same long-lasting energy children have from eating too much sugar. She just hoped that she and Sasuke will have a fighting chance capturing them after they are locked in the big mansion the Uchiha calls a house. Either way, they will have a hell of a time giving them a bath. Taking a bath was something Sakura always had dreaded when she was a little kid. If she heard the word 'bath,' hell will break loose in the Haruno household and her parents, who were the hunters (she had dubbed them), will come after her. She just hope that the little six year olds are not as smart as they look. Looking down at them, she thought, 'Oh Kami-sama, let us hope.'


A/N: Well, that was chapter two! Please excuse my spelling and grammar mistakes! I wrote it all one day! I NEED COFFEE! Heh, just kidding. I don't drink caffine.In my opinion, this chapter was a bit boring.Maybe I should be sleeping instead of writing my stories. Naw! In my opinion, it was a bit boring. Should I still continue?

Please be patient with me. I have a couple of other stories I need to write and that takes a lot out of my time. I'll will try to update once a week. It takes time to edit things, especially because I have to do it myself. Besides that, I want to write the chapters as long as possible so you guys would not be disappointed. While you wait for the next chapters, you can also read the other stories I have posted up. Feel free to check out my profile for information or summaries of other stories I am working on.

On the side note: Yes, the bug information is TRUE! I was shocked when I had learned it in Science. I was SO freaked out! Well, at least we can't feel them. I HATE BUGS! No offense to bug-loving people, but they just really creep me out! Seriously!

Give me any thoughts you might have about my writing. I don't mind concrete criticism just as long it is in an intelligent manner.
