Chris: Heya! We're back with Chapter 2! And to those who reviewed us… thanks a lot and erm… what was the prize again, Nat?
Nat: Chocolate cookies! –starts randomly tossing cookies about-
Chris: Yeah, the showering of cookies. Anyway, this time, it won't be about cookies though.
Nat: -tap tap- Chris, you're missing something.
Chris: What?
Nat: The disclaimer? Hello? Did the report card get to your brain and affect your memory as well?
Chris: OH RIGHT! We don't own Naruto or any of its characters…
Nat: Nor do we own the watermelon, the freezer, or the juice squeezing thingy… I think it belongs to everyone.
Chris: The watermelon belongs to the watermelon supplier, the freezer belongs to the freezer supplier and the juice squeezing thingy belongs to the juice squeezing thingy supplier, baka!
Nat: WHAT? Ok, on a happier note, we own the OCs and the plot and the wacky stuff that we make the poor guys and girls do. Heh.
Chris: And we also own the homemade watermelon popsicles. So on with the story, while we go and keep hunting for Ino to make her fly, thus proving pigs CAN fly!
Nat: Erm, Chris? I don't think Asuma would like that…
Chris: Oh well. Let's just take a nap then.
Nat: Good Idea.
Chris: And, oh, before we leave, there will be extreme OOCness for Naruto... hehe...
Chapter 2: Summertime Treats
The next morning, after a good night's sleep, Yukiko sneaked off to see Katana, who was sitting up and boredly playing with her handheld NDS (yes we're gonna put this in… LOL). They were here to plot their very first move...
"I talked to Team 7 yesterday," Yukiko said, sitting down on the chair next to Katana. The other girl's eyes, originally dull and lifeless, lit up and she leant closer eagerly, ready to receive any information (like a robot) that she had asked (demanded, more like) Yukiko to get. It was simple. Extract information from Team 7 whether they had attempted to remove Kakashi's mask, and whether or not they had succeeded (take note dear readers, this is referring to Episode 101). Sure, it was a bit harder than expected, but Yukiko managed to squeeze the information out in the end (with quite a lot of money – and ramen).
"Well, here was it – they DID try, with all sorts of wacky methods, and none of them succeeded, due to their pigheadedness…"
"HEY! The raven-hair guy didn't LOOK like a pighead!"
"Well, never judge a book by its cover, they say."
"Oh well. So, what other info we have?"
"Well, that silver jounin has a bit of an obsession with his book…"
"And he's a pervert. That fact could be easily seen since no decent person would EVER hang on to that book."
"Right. But, remember, we have to do this slowly, one step at a time, ok?"
"Sure. So, we try the basics first…"
"You mean the food one! They tried ramen, and it didn't work, due to a Britney Spears wannabe called Ino… which means wild boar, by the way!" Katana laughed her head off.
"Ramen definitely won't work now! It's summer! We're gonna treat the jounin to… watermelon popsicles! If he tries to eat them fast, then…" Katana trailed off, and Yukiko caught on.
"He's gonna have a headache! Yeah, it's scientifically proven that if people gobble ice cold treats, then they get a splitting headache!"
"Plus, he HAS to take off his mask! Unless he doesn't eat at all…"
"Or maybe he's an alien!"
"Or maybe…" Then, the door burst open again.
"YUKIKO WHERE ARE – Oh there you are. Come on, we spent the whole hour looking for you!" Naruto came in, followed by Sakura who was dragging a very reluctant Sasuke in.
"Naruto… why did we have to come?"
"Kakashi-sensei said that we had to assemble here so he can find out whether Katana's ready for training or not and all that…"
"Hey guys, I need your help."
"What help? I won't give you any help unless you give me ramen!" They all sweatdropped, and Sakura hit Naruto on the head.
"OW! OK, I take that back!" Naruto now currently had a HUGE lump on his head the size of a fist.
"Well, you see, we were supposed to find out what was behind Kakashi's mask and —"
"It's nothing BUT a double mask! We told you already!"
"YES WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S BEHIND THE DOUBLE MASK OR TRIPLE MASK OR THE NUMBER OF MASKS HE PUTS ON! Actually, there's no way the number of masks can get up to 20 or so – he'd suffocate." Katana let the remark sink in.
"So what do you want to do?" Yukiko grinned evilly.
"I want someone to fork out all their pocket money and buy one big watermelon, a juice squeezing thingy and a freezer." Silence. Then, finally, for the first time, Sasuke spoke.
"Didn't you bring your money or what?"
"Yeah, we did, but we're saving it." Everyone did an anime fall.
"Oh whatever. I'll pay," muttered Yukiko, annoyed.
"No, I'll help! Just as long as I get to have RAMEN!" The two girls sighed. "Deal." Just then, Kakashi came in.
"YOU'RE LATE AGAIN!"
"Sorry, I was busy fighting some thieves who were trying to steal the Hokage's hat."
"LIAR!" Yukiko and Katana sighed.
"I'll get the stuff we need," Katana muttered to Yukiko from the side of her mouth.
"Hm… Looks like Katana's up, but not ready. Alright. You get one day off, and then I'll expect you to resume training as per usual."
"YES SENSEI!" Katana practically leapt out of bed and gave a very freaked out Kakashi a hug and started doing the victory dance – until Yukiko kicked her.
"Katana…"
"Yes mommy," Katana said meekly.
"ARGH I AM NOT YOUR MUM!"
The next day, Katana turned up in her usual gear – with something much unexpected. That's right. An ice box. Everyone stared at her.
"Well, I thought that I should give out treats on the first day!" Everyone sweatdropped.
"It's supposed to be the last day. What's in the icebox, anyway?"
"Crushed ice and watermelon popsicles, what else? Cans and weapons?"
"Aw, I was hoping it was ramen!" Naruto's daft comment rewarded him with another whack on the head by Sakura.
"BAKA! There's no such thing as frozen ramen!" Naruto sniffled and broke down crying with tears streaking down his cheeks faster than a waterfall (0.o. WHAT ON EARTH! OK, think Naruto from the Inari parting bit) and everyone got anime sweatdrops the size of a truck.
"Aw… don't cwai, Baby Naruto," said Katana, patting Naruto gently on the head. Naruto finally lost it, and started to yell
"I AM NOT A BABY! NO I AM THE FUTURE SIX HOKAGE, NOT A BABY! I WILL MAKE KONOHA INTO A RAMEN PARADISE, AND THEN I SHALL BEAT DOWN ALL MY RIVALS! THE LEAF SYMBOL SHALL BE REPLACED BY A BOWL-OF-RAMEN SYMBOL, AND -" This pissed the others off so much that Yukiko gagged Naruto with some tape.
"What time is it anyway?" No one answered Katana.
"Don't worry, he's always late," said Sasuke.
"YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO WAIT!" Sasuke made an "Hn" sound, and Katana and Yukiko sighed. Geez, if this goes on, by the time the sensei turns up, the popsicles will be all watermelon juice.
"Hi!" Kakashi poofed out of the trees in front of them.
"YOU WERE LATE AGAIN!"
"I was helping an old lady cross –"
"LIAR!"
"Anyway, let's start training - Katana, may I ask, why are you hanging on to that ice box?"
"Oh, um, I was thinking of bringing some snacks over since it's so hot – I'm not used to hot weather." Kakashi raised his eyebrows.
"That's interesting. Maybe you should eat them first then."
"UM Sensei, there are actually enough for all of us to go round." Kakashi looked at Yukiko suspiciously, and Yukiko looked right back with a puppy face no one could resist.
"-sigh- OK, we'll have a morning icy snack first." Just as Katana was opening the ice box, the stone nearby transformed into someone – a fat boy with a bag of chips. Katana screamed and fainted on the spot.
"What – what are you doing here, Chouji?"
"ARGH CHOUJI YOU IDIOT YOU GAVE YOUR POSITION AWAY!" By then, when a blonde girl and another sensei had reached Chouji, the glutton had already scarfed all the watermelon popsicles
"Damn, plan failed," muttered Katana, and left the rest getting involved in a fistfight in a ball of dust with a lot of "Take that", "OW!", "POW!", "MY CHIPS!" and all the usual stuff.
"We need," muttered Yukiko (who didn't get into the fight). "Another plan." So the rest of the day was spent kicking targets, training and doing stupid missions.
Chris: Sorry for the lame ending. I just couldn't think of what to do.
Nat: Yeah. Please R&R…
Chris: And we'll be back with a new chapter after we come back from our trips…
Nat: And if you don't, we'll send the chocolate muffin army after you.
Chris: Chocolate muffin armies don't exist, mate!
Nat: Then I'll be the first one to patent the chocolate muffin army! MUAHAHAHAHA!
Chris: … I am speechless. Nat, what happened to the chocolate in my room?
Nat: I SCARFED IT ALL! WAKAKAKAKAKAKA!
Chris: Gotta go before she decides to go hyper…
Nat: RAINBOW MONKEYS!YOU LOOK LIKE A –giggle- RAINBOW –snicker- MONKEY!
Chris: That's my cue to go! Bye!
