When Team Hokage walked back through the gates of Konoha, it was with a sigh of relief. Naruto was once again in his younger form, deciding that since he had already been seen in it, it was his best bet to continue the charade. The others were just exhausted, but for different reasons.
"So, who's up for some ramen?" Yondaime asked, looking fondly down at his 'son.' They had spent an awfully long time talking and sparring. He had been pleasantly surprised at how much Naruto could keep up when in his full form, and that was when he was fighting playfully. Frankly, it awed him and made him extremely proud.
"I have to go to the-" Rin started to say but was interrupted by a shrill, far away voice.
"KAKASHI! MY ETERNAL RIVAL!" shouted someone as a cloud of dust approached them from a far away an extraordinary high speed. Kakashi paled considerably as if he was facing death itself.
"No… no I… it… c-can't be…" the great white haired genius was trembling with horror and barely concealed fear.
"OH KAKASHI!" it came again, much closer than before. Obito and Rin swiftly ran for it.
"ican'treallyhaveramen,newdietBYE!" Yondaime and Kakashi both fled for it, running for their lives, leaving Naruto left to deal with the approaching… madness. Said blond was having a hard time containing the twitches of his eyes as his team left him to deal with this. Within a second of their departure, he was facing a young man, no, a kid that looked like Lee's twin brother. Decided to have a bit of revenge on his team for abandoning him, Naruto greeted this strange fellow warmly.
"Hi! You're Maito Gai, right?" He exclaimed, taking out a hand and having Gai shake it exuberantly.
"I see Kakashi has been talking about me! Oh his YOUTHFUL FLAMES BURN SO BRIGHTLY! IF ONLY I COULD MAKE MINE SO BRIGHT! I KNOW! I WILL RUN 1000 LAPS AROUND KONOHA!"
"er… right. I'm Naruto, nice to meet you!" Naruto smiled a dazzling smile, only to have Gai yell at him again.
"I SEE YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH BURN BRIGHTLY AS WELL! IT MAKES ME CRY IN JOY!" Gai proclaimed. Naruto forcibly refrained from running, ignoring Kyuubi's snickers inside his mind.
"You betcha! Hey, you wanna spar or something? Do you have any more of those suits?" he asked innocently, mentally cackling at the prospect of what he was going to do to Kakashi, and perhaps Obito.
"You… you actually... want one?" Naruto nodded, and Gai grew quite tearful, pulling the mentally traumatised blond into a bone crushing hug. Naruto took this as test of patients.
"And I'm sure Kakashi would love one as well! But he might need a bit of prompting, but I have a plan. Do you know how to do Kage Bunshin no jutsu? So like… here's what you're gunna do...…." Naruto started to outline and whisper to the highly intrigued blue beast of Konoha, refraining all the while from cackling evilly.

"Rin… I don't get it, what am I doing wrong? Does Himeno honestly hate me?" Arashi groaned out pathetically as Rin chuckled, applying some cool cream to his reddened face to get rid of that awful hand print on his right cheek.
"I don't know Sensei, you've been trained by the Sanin Jiraiya, who is like… a professional pervert, and from the way I've heard it, it does seem like you were peeking on her in the baths. It's no surprise she thought the same thing and that she slapped you for it." Rin explained to the pouting Hokage.
"But she never gives me a straight answer!"
"True, but she hasn't said 'no' has she? There's still hope. Maybe she comes from a highly traditional family and is waiting for you to get a clue." She mused out loud while cleaning her supplies up and tidying the hospital room.
"Traditional?" Rin ignored the utterly stupid look on her sensei's face.
"Yeah, like maybe she's waiting for you to formally ask her father for the right to court her." Rin flipped her hand airily. Yondaime on the other hand, looked like he'd been hit with the proverbial reality stick.
"Damnit! I am SUCH an idiot!" Arashi smacked himself, which actually ended up hurting, and Rin laughed lightly at him.
"Do you want to know what to say?" Yondaime was instantly on his knees.
"Oh yes, oh yes puhleeeease!" Rin mentally cackled, who knew manipulating her sensei could be so easy, and so much fun? Oh, the puppy dog look he was giving her was absolutely priceless. She was so using this as blackmail material for later.

"Oooobiiiitooooo….." a zombified hand grasped the poor unsuspecting teen on the shoulder, earning a girlish shriek from the Uchiha.
"Kakashi! Don't do that!" Obito flapped his hands at the white haired boy before realizing the state his best friend was in. The boy was deathly pale and clammy to the touch. He was shivering as if he was ill and his eyes had a haunted look about them.
"Kakashi? Kakashi, what happened? What's wrong?" Obito asked, gripping his friend's shoulders.
"I… It… horrifying..." Kakashi wasn't even looking at him, but beyond him as if reliving some traumatising event.
"What was?" Obito pressed, looking genuinely concerned. Kakashi suddenly looked right at him with those grey-black eyes wide and frightened.
"Run." He said clearly, before returning to his broken speech from before.
"S…ssss…so... terrifying… run... while you-"
"KAKASH! MY ETERNAL RIVAL!" a chorus of voices called out, followed by blurs of green as a mob suddenly appeared. Kakashi and Obito froze, turning around with disturbed gazes.
"Just put it on!" One said.
"IT"LL MAKE YOUR PASSIONATE FLAMES OF YOUTH BURN EVEN BRIGHTER!" and thus the horror began with 100 something spandex covered, thick eyebrows and beady eyed Gais, all holding an extra green spandex green suit for the Ninja.
Kakashi was starting to twitch violently, taking several steps backwards with Obito who was as pale as a sheet, both wearing equally shell-shocked expressions. And thus the chase began as the clones attacked.
Somehwere, Elsewhere, Naruto was sitting at a ramen stand laughing away as he ate his favourite meal, telling Rin about the evil things he had done to prank the boys. Rin was red faced because she had been giggling the last 5 minutes none stop.
"Oh man… for the stuff that they pull, they so deserve it." Naruto nodded, smirking into his bowl of soup. When Naruto was finished, he turned to Rin, asking something that had bothered him when Rin had come back from talking with his father.
"Tell me, about the official courting process."
"That's hard to say really, because it depends on the couple right, and their families. Since Sensei is the Hokage, I have no doubt that Himeno-chan's father will say yes immediately. And Himeno-chan really does like sensei, I asked her once."
"She speaks?" Naruto asked with wide eyes. "I thought she was mute." Rin grinned at him
"She isn't, she's just a shy lady. Anyways, they both like each other, so after the first few official dates, they'll get married." Naruto spat out his water.
"WHAT? That soon?" He gaped at her, whereas Rin merely laughed.
"Yeah, they really like each other, have for like years actually, ever since Himeno-chan's family moved here 6 years ago, But Himeno was probably trying to ignore Yondaime-sama's advances because she was the traditional type, or her father ordered her to. Don't worry so much." She smiled at him, but frowned when she saw him start to brood over it.
"I really hope your right…. Because there are so many factors now... that could prevent it from happening..." Naruto whispered softly, watching as a squad of Gais passed, chasing Obito. This got him roaring with laugher, and had set Rin off into her giggles again. After whipping her tears, Rin got up to leave, turning around to give Naruto one last word, accompanied by an evil smirk.
"Oh, and Naruto-kun? You look sexy in spandex." Naruto sputtered and choked on his water, his face turning beat red… though from the compliment or the choking, who knew?

By the end of the day, no one had seen hide or hair from Obito and Kakashi, but there were rumours, oh yes, there were rumours. Hell, people even got pictures of, what was now being termed the 'Spandex Incident' by the villagers, and some were even selling the pictures under the table, after all, it was highly good blackmailing material for other Ninjas.
The Uchiha and the genius had been forced into green spandex suits, exactly like Gai's, but that's not what made it so terrible, no, it was the fact that Gai had dyed Kakashi's hair black and hot glued thick black 'eyebrows' onto the boys, that's what made it so horrible. How on earth Gai managed that however, is beyond the minds of many. Some say, other more powerful Ninja's like Sandaime, or a Nara must have conveniently given a 'helping hand.'
Another person on team Hokage that went missing was the Hokage himself. Eversince Rin had told him what to do, he'd been entirely absent the entire day. But Rin assured everyone that he was fine, while she and Naruto kept the secret between themselves. No need to involve people into Arashi-sensei's love life.
Rin and Naruto, due to the fact that they had not been in contact with Obito and Kakashi, were completely unaware of what the Duo was planning in retaliation to the Gai prank.
"I dunno… I mean its Rin, she'll like murder us. Plus, Naruto is like… weird, he'll either severely main us or laugh it off. I don't think it's such a good plan Kakashi…" Obito ignored the radiating killer intent coming off the genius as she crouched in the bushes outside of Rin's home. Kakashi twitched.
"It'll work.. it has to… I will not sit idly by and be made a mockery of!" Obito raised an eyebrow at the boy's dramatic speech.
"Is that so? Well dying his hair florescent pink and Rin's a platinum blond as well as exchanging all their clothing for clashing colors of spandex suits isn't going overboard at all…"
"LOOK AT MY EYEBROWS! LOOK AT MY HAIR! MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR!" Kakashi was determined, and he glared at Obito, daring at him to contradict him. Obito just sighed, and Kakashi's eyes curved upwards in a smile.
"Good. I'll take Naruto's room; you go for Rin's." Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving the weary Uchiha alone.
"God I hope I'm killed in my sleep before tomorrow…."

That morning, several people were woken by the deranged screaming of certain individuals as they woke up to find the sorry state of their wardrobes and hair. So when Kakashi and Obito met up with their team at the bridge, they tried to act surprised at Rin's appearance.
Rin was now a blond, a splotchy blond, wearing a yellow spandex shirt and lose black pants that she must have borrowed off someone. She was glaring heatedly at Kakashi and Obito, with a glare that promised a merciless and savage murder.
Yondaime was also at the meeting point, but was oblivious to his surroundings as he kept sighing dreamily looking up at the skin with a broad smile on his face, completely out of it. Not even Rin's poisonous glare got through to him.
Obito turned to Kakashi and perked an eyebrow, asking silently 'where's Naruto?' the Genius responded with a different look and a shrug that clearly said he didn't know. They stood around some more, growing fidgety when Rin wouldn't even move from her spot, just glaring menacingly, not even showing any amusement to the fact that both Obito and Kakashi were now… Gai clones.
They were waiting for yet another half an hour before Naruto finally made his entrance. One minute he wasn't there, the next he was, standing on the railing. They were all blinded by the most unusual sight ever. There was a rainbow haired teen wearing every color imaginable in the form of a Spandex suit, it looked like it was patched together.
Kakashi's eyes widened, as this response to their prank had been completely unintended, but Naruto just strike the 'good guy' pose and flashed his teeth at them.
"YO! Sorry I'm late.." and indeed he was late, by 3 hours, which was half an hour later than the 2 and a half hour late Obito and Kakashi.
"SENSEIII! What are we doing today? He asked, hyperly at that. In fact, Naruto was acting (despite his body being 6 years old again) like his former 12 year old self. It, with his appearance, was horrifying, more so than a horde of Gais chasing you.
Yondaime had been snapped rudely out of his funk by the flashing brilliance of Naruto. except, that he wouldn't not call it brilliance. One thought just kept running thought his head: 'dear god, what have I created?'
"Hey! I'm not that bad! I just felt like going clown today." Naruto huffed as Arashi realized he said his thought out loud. Coughing he waved his hand.
"Um... Um… Um... Um...w-well…. See.. ah… we'renotdoinganythingtodayasihaveadateBYE!" Yondaime fled before Rin could decapitate him, this also left Kakashi and Obito alone with the enraged Rin and unpredictable Naruto.
There was tense silence, and Rin started to crack her knuckles as Naruto turned around on the railing he was standing on, wearing a false cherry mask.
"Well boys! Since it's a day off, why don't we have a bit of fun? Because you know… This means war."
