I don't own any of the Naruto characters or the Power of Youth…
Author's Note: I probably have a few chapters left of this, not sure yet. I'll probably do a sequel called Icha Icha! The Pink Haired Uchiha! I'm also currently working on another Naruto fic called The Challenge. It's an extension of a one-shot that I had written a while back.
The Challenge: Continuation of a oneshot. After fulfilling a promise, Naruto finally realizes his dream and becomes Hokage. However, his true challenges lie ahead as he and Gaara discover the existence of a deadly conspiracy...one that may involve the other Kages.
I'm also working on some Justice League fics, which I hope should be finished soon. I've been busy with end of semester work and getting ready for finals. It seems that when ever I do have time to write, I'm too burnt out to do it. Anyway, on with the chaos.
Yosh! The Power of the Hyuuga Youth!
A shocked Neiji learns that Rock Lee and Maito Gai have brainwashed his only son. Let the blood bath begin.
Chapter 10: Chaos!
Will the Spandex Plot be revealed at the ramen shop? Can Gaara save his niece and the young Uzumaki from the deranged Anko? Will Hizashi find the missing spandex? Can Lee and Gai survive certain and unspeakable death?
The answers are about to be revealed. Fortunately, Shikamaru was too lazy to reveal the mystery.
"This is all so troublesome," Shikamaru said.
Shikamaru…shouldn't you, I don't know…possibly check up on your daughter?
"Why? She can take care of herself."
Anko's about to kill her.
"WHAT?"
Oh, and she's about to kill a certain young Uzumaki too.
"WHAT?" Naruto yelled.
I didn't think that you guys were supposed to be able to talk back to the narrator.
"You broke down the sacred third wall, not us," Kujira pointed out.
Oh yeah. Anyway….on with the story.

Hyuuga Neji had a throbbing headache.
1. His right eye wouldn't stop twitching.
2. The whereabouts of his son were unknown.
3. His uncle, Hiashi, was currently still on some tirade about blasphemy, green spandex, Icha Icha Paradise, and perverted Uchihas.
4. Neji wasn't sure if he wanted to know the reason to number three.
Fortunately, the possible cure to his headache lay in the two Green Beasts cowering before him and Tenten.
"Yosh! Fear not Lee! We shall persevere!" Gai encouraged.
Unfortunately for Gai, however, this was not very encouraging…due to the fact that Tenten had more or less pinned him to a tree with her shuriken.
"Neji..wait…!" Lee started.
Neji ignored him as he delivered sixty-four blows to the Green Beast.
"My son," Neji gritted out, "Is a Hyuuga. He is not a Green Beast."
I think your son has a different opinion on that, Neji.
"He doesn't have a choice," Neji answered calmly.
"Who do you keep talking to?" Tenten asked.
"……" Neji answered.

"Uncle Gaara! Help!" Yomari yelled.
"Ahh! She's insane!" Iruka shouted.
"GET BACK HERE!" Anko screamed.
Kazekage Gaara blinked and considered his options:
1. Kill Anko.
2. Run from Anko.
3. Run from Anko after grabbing his niece. (The Uzumaki kid can fend for himself.)
4. Run from Anko after grabbing his niece and the Uzumaki kid. (He couldn't leave him behind, he owed Naruto too much for that.)
5. Kill Anko.
6. Kill Anko and face Kakashi's wrath. (Feh, Kakashi didn't scare him. All he had to do was burn his Icha Icha books.)
7. Use…wait! Damn! Intimidation didn't work on Snake Woman!
Gaara decided on option eight.
8. Use Kankuro as bait.
"Kankuro," Gaara called out calmly. "There's a beautiful woman out here who wants to see you. She's very scantily dressed and enjoys danger."
Like a charm, his older brother (who had somehow been oblivious to the calls of "Uncle Gaara! Help!") stuck his head out of the weapons shop he had been exploring.
"Where?" Kankuro asked eagerly. Gaara pointed.
Kankuro froze.
Yomari and Iruka took refuge behind Gaara.
Anko fumed and glared.
A standoff had been reached.
Fortunately (or unfortunately), the Kazekage was about to pawn the dirty work off on his older brother.

"Troublesome," Shikamaru muttered.
You know, Shikamaru, everyone's getting tired of that phrase.
"……."
"Actually, Mysterious Voice has a point," the Rokudaime said.
"I agree," Iruka said.
"Mppghh fhhmg mfefmmf," Chouji agreed through a mouthful of ramen.
"Naruto…" Shikamaru continued lazily. "Everyone's getting tired of 'Believe it!"
"What? No way!" the Hokage protested.
"Yes way," everyone answered tiredly.
Umino Kujira and Aburame Kuenai looked at each other and back at the adults. The older shinobi had apparently forgotten about them as they argued over who had the lamer phrase.
The two boys shook their heads, hoisted the stolen green spandex over their backs, and escaped in true shinobi fashion.
"It's not lame! Believe it!" Naruto yelled.
"Troublesome!" Shikamaru protested.
"Dictionary!" Iruka yelled.
And the adults noticed not one bit.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Hyuuga Hizashi peered around him, greatly depressed.
1. He was hungry.
2. Gai-sensei's clothes were still missing.
3. He was hungry.
4. His parents were furious with him.
5. He was hungry.
6. Uchiha Hayame would rather look at porn than fight with him.
7. He was hungry.
(Can you tell he's hungry?)
Our brave, fearless Hyuuga decided that he must first set out to conquer issues 1, 3, 5, and 7. Luckily, he knew that there was always one person in the village that he could always count on to support him.
"Hizashi?" Hinata asked, hiding most of her surprise. (I don't think she quite expected the spandex, leg warmers, and haircut…)
"Cousin Hinata, may I come in?" Hizashi asked sheepishly. "My parents are kind of mad at me right now."
Hinata, being the one, true, SELFLESS Hyuuga that she was (with perhaps the exception of Hizashi) let in the boy. Asking no questions, she served him up a delicious meal of ramen and smiled warmly at him the whole time.
"Hinata-hime…do I look weird?" Hizashi asked carefully. Hinata paused…and then smiled.
"Do you think you look weird?" she questioned.
"No," he answered.
"Then you don't look weird," Hinata answered seriously. Hizashi smiled.
"Yosh! You're the best Cousin Hinata! The Springtime of Youth truly blossoms within you!"
Hinata smiled.

"Lee?" Gai questioned warily.
"What sensei?" Lee asked.
"Is it over?"
"No sensei, they're just taking a break."
Alas, it was true. Neji and Tenten are lounging nearby as Gai and Lee struggle against their bonds.
You see, both of them have been tied to a rather large tree. (Neji considered dangling them from the Hokage Mountain, but decided against it. Naruto is rather touchy about his face being desecrated.)
"Lee," Gai whispered. "I have a plan."
"What is it sensei?" Lee whispered back.
"Blackmail."
Blackmail? Oh dear.
…………………………………….
I know the Hinata/Hizashi moment was more serious than funny, but I thought that maybe Hizashi needed encouragement. You'd probably be depressed too, if you were him.
