me: hey there people of Sorry for the late update... haven't really been in the mood lately ever since my sister bought that Harvest Moon game for her birthday... I'm addicted now . But then I felt guilty letting those who liked the fic wait so long so... here's the 3rd chapter!

Chapter 3: A Day At The Park

As Kakashi and his team reached the park there was a bigger surprise ahead. There was Kurenai and her chibified team 8. Asuma and his team 10 of 5-year-olds. Gai and his team of 6-year-olds and surprisingly, the Godaime Hokage, Tsunade herself with the chibi Kazekage and his two older siblings.

"Oh no, not you too," Tsunade said, as chibi Kankuro started picking a fight with his older sister.

"Those pigtails look stupid on you," he told her.

"And you play with dolls," chibi Temari bit back.

"They're not dolls! They're puppets!" Kankuro protested.

"Dolls!" Temari said.

"Puppets!" Kankuro said.

"Dolls!" she continued.

"Puppets!" he snapped.

"DOLLS!" she shouted.

"PUPPETS!" he yelled.

"All right you two! Break it up!" Tsunade scolded pulling the two older siblings away. "You're being a bad example to you little brother! And everyone knows Kankuro plays with puppets and not dolls," she corrected. Kankuro spat his tongue out at his older sister making her angry.

"Kaachan! Kankuro spat his tongue at me!" Temari said, tugging on Tsunade's sleeves.

"Did not!" Kankuro protested.

"Did to!" Temari bit back.

"Did not!" Kankuro snapped.

"Did—"but then before Temari could finish Gaara stopped them by hugging both his older brother and sister's legs.

"Oneesan, oniichan, stop fighting," he begged. Temari and Kankuro blinked looking down at their younger brother; there was a short pause before the two older sand siblings turned back to each other to continue arguing.

"Did to!"

"Did not!"

"Stop fighting," Gaara continued.

"Did not!"

"Did to!"

"Stop fighting,"

"Did not!"

"Did to!"

"Stop fighting,"

"IF YOU TWO WON'T STOP ARGUING I'M GONNA SICK GAARA ON BOTH OF YOU!" Tsunade shouted, holding out Gaara in front of the arguing twosome. Then it was all nice and quiet, Tsunade sure had aggressive way in taking care of children. The shy timid Hinata chibi hid behind her sensei clutching her stuffed puppy toy closer to her.

"Kaachan… who's that lady?" she asked in a soft voice. Kurenai blinked in a confused way, she thought they already knew Tsunade, but then, maybe that person erased part of their memory when they got turned into chibis.

"Um… that's the Hokage, Tsunade," Kurenai replied. Hinata held on to Kurenai's clothing, distancing herself from the angry Hokage.

"Shiroi-chan thinks she's scary…" she said. Kiba chibi made a face and the 5-year-old went up to Tsunade, who put Gaara down already. The Hokage noticed a pair of eyes looking up to her. She looked down seeing little Kiba staring at her blankly.

"What do you want kid?" she told him. Kiba made and face and kicked Tsunade hard on the leg.

"That's for scaring Hinata-chan!" he said.

"ITAI! WHY YOU LITTLE BRAT!" Tsunade said, about to tackle Kiba when she was pulled back by the sand siblings.

"Kaachan stop!" Temari said.

"Kaachan must calm down!" Kankuro said.

"Kaachan, violence is not the answer," Gaara simply put it. Making all the Jounins and the Hokage pause for a short while, staring at the 5-year-old redhead.

"I'LL GET BACK AT YA YOU—"

"Kiba!" Kurenai said, grabbing Kiba and pushing him away from the enraged Hokage. "I'm so sorry Hokage-sama! Kiba, say sorry to the Hokage," she told the young boy.

"But kaachan! She scared Hinata-chan!" Kiba said.

"Kiba! She's the Hokage, say sorry or you're grounded," Kurenai said. Kiba pouted and folded his arms.

"Sorry…" he muttered.

"Good," Kurenai said. She felt another tug and she turned to see chibi Shino behind her.

"Kaachan, can me and Hinata-chan play on the monkey bars?" he asked.

"Of course Shino, just make sure you two don't fall off," Kurenai said.

"Come on Hinata-chan!" Shino said, taking Hinata gently by the arm as they ran off to play on the monkey bars.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Kiba said, pulling himself away from Kurenai's grasp and catching up to Hinata and Shino. Kurenai sighed deeply.

"Kids these days…" she muttered.

"Touchan, I'm hungry," chibi Chouji said, tugging onto Asuma's pants.

"Again Chouji-kun? But we just got here!" chibi Ino said, putting her hands on her hips.

"I know… but I'm still hungry…" Chouji said. Ino sighed but then smiled her sweet 5-year-old smile at him.

"Well don't take too long, you promised you were going to push me on the swings!" the young blonde said. Chouji smiled back at her and nodded.

"Hai Ino-chan!" he told her. Asuma smiled amusingly at the two, the Ino he knew used to always tease Chouji for eating too much. "Touchan," Chouji said, grabbing the Jounin's attention.

"Hai Chouji?" he said.

"Can I have my sandwich now?" the 5-year-old asked.

"Oh… okay," Asuma said and searched the bag he brought for a sandwich. Chibi Shikamaru was just lying down on the grass doing his usual thing, staring up at the clouds. The 5-year-old sighed lazily as his eyes started to close slowly, wandering off into a nap. Until someone's shadow towered over him, making him open his eyes and seeing the blonde Naruto standing over him.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Taking a nap," Shikamaru replied.

"Why are you taking a nap in the middle of the day?" Naruto asked.

"Because I'm bored," Shikamaru replied again.

"Why don't you just play?" the blonde asked again.

"I'm too lazy to," the pony tailed boy replied once again. It was silent again but Naruto just stood there looking at Shikamaru. "Shouldn't you be playing with your friends?" he asked the blonde.

"I want to play with you," Naruto said, pointing a finger at Shikamaru.

"Why would you want to play with me?" he asked.

"Because you're my friend too," the blonde replied with a smile. Shikamaru blinked a few times, looking up to Naruto. "So will you please play with me?" he asked innocently. Shikamaru stayed silent for a while before smiling back at him.

"Okay," Shikamaru said and stood up.

"Yay!" Naruto cheered.

"So… what are we playing?" Shikamaru asked.

"Um… let's play tag! You're it!" Naruto said tagging the pony tailed kid and running away from his laughing. "You can't catch me!" he said. Shikamaru stared at him for a while and smiled.

"Yes I am!" he said running after the blonde.

"Touchan, can we play with them?" chibi Lee asked his sensei. Gai was still brooding about the fact that his best student became a powerless 6-year-old all of the sudden.

"Oh Lee… if only there was a way I could cure you of this chibiness…" he brooded.

"Touchan?" Lee said in confusion.

"Lee-kun, maybe we should just leave him alone and play along," chibi Tenten said.

"But we have to ask permission from an adult first, it's the right thing to do," the shiny haired boy said.

"But touchan looks busy right now, maybe Tenten-chan's right, we should leave him alone for a while," chibi Neji said.

"But—"

"Hey Gai," Kakashi said, tapping on the shiny haired Jounin's shoulder.

"Not right now rival of mine… I am brooding in the misery that I lost my team…" Gai said.

"Come on, they're not lost, just chibified, if there was such a word…" the silver haired Jounin said, stealing a glance at Gai's chibified team. All looking up to him with curious eyes.

"Hey ojisan, are you touchan's friend?" Neji asked, tugging innocently at Kakashi's shirt.

"Um… yeah I guess so… and don't call me ojisan…" the Jounin said, sweat-dropping a little.

"Then… what will we call you?" Lee asked, his big eyes sparkling.

"Oh… just call me uh…" Kakashi paused to think of something. "Ah! Just call me Kakashi-niisan," he said pointing to himself. Tenten smiled brightly towards him.

"All right then, Kakashi-niisan," she said.

"Ah… anyway, I think you should leave your touchan alone for a while and play, don't worry I'll try to talk to him," Kakashi said. The three 6-year-olds nodded and ran of to play with the others while the masked Jounin bent down beside Gai. "Hey Gai, cheer up, it's not that bad," he told him.

"Yes it is… now that they're just 6-year-olds there's no way they could fight until they return to their normal bodies…" Gai said.

"At least they look cute," Kakashi said with a smile. Gai was silent for a while.

"Kakashi… my rival… cuteness has nothing to do with strength…" he said. Kakashi looked over his shoulder to find something that might satisfy Gai.

"I won't say that if I were you, take a look at your students Gai," Kakashi said. The other Jounin also looked over his shoulder seeing his students helping the younger ones at any possible way. There he saw little Hinata sobbing quietly in the corner because she was being bullied by two of the older kids in the park, on of them grabbing her stuffed puppy Shiroi-chan. Shino, who was with her was trying to protect Hinata but was being held back by the other bully.

"Aw, is the little baby crying? Does she want her puppy?" one of the bullies teased waving Hinata's stuffed toy in front of her.

"Hinata-chan! I'll protect you!" Shino said, trying to reassure the crying Hyuuga but what held back by the other bully.

"You're not going anywhere four-eyes, hey, let's see what happens if I take these stupid sunglasses off," the bully holding Shino said, reaching to take off Shino's sunglasses but failed when a stick hit his hand hard, like a shuriken hit him. "Hey!" he said.

"You leave those two alone!" Neji said angrily. Hinata slowly stopped crying, but developed a small case of hiccups for crying a little too much.

"Neji-niisan…" she whispered.

"And who might you be?" one of the bullies said.

"I'm Hyuuga Neji and I don't like you picking on my cousin and her friend!" the long haired 6-year-old said. The other bully chuckled, letting go of Shino and cracking his knuckles.

"Let's teach this kid a lesson," he said. The two charged at him but then Neji just stood there.

"Neji! Look out!" Shino warned. Neji just stood there like he didn't hear anything, when one of the bullies were close enough to plant a painful punch on Neji's face but then was blocked by the Hyuuga's own hand. Surprising them both, the same bully tried to punch him with his other fist but Neji blocked that as well. The other bully tried himself but only ended up with Neji jumping high up and kicking them both on their backs making them fall to the ground. The two bullies got up and ran as fast as they can away from him. Neji narrowed his eyes at their direction before turning back to his hiccupping cousin, picking up the stuffed puppy toy from the ground and giving it to her.

"Are you all right Hinata-chan?" Neji asked, wiping a tear away from her white eyes and taking out a bottle of water for her hiccups.

"I'm all right… Neji-niisan…" Hinata said in between hiccups. Neji frowned a little as he handed over the bottle of water.

"Drink this," he said, Hinata drank until her hiccups stopped. Shino then, went over to the two cousins, standing beside the girl Hyuuga.

"Hinata-chan… I'm sorry if I wasn't able to protect you…" the Aburame apologized. Hinata smiled reassuringly at the other 5-year-old, brightening up little Shino's mood.

"It's all right Shino-kun…" she told him. Shino smiled back and turned to the boy Hyuuga.

"It was a good thing you were here, Neji-kun," he said.

"Well, it's my responsibility as being older to protect you and everyone else younger than me, that's what touchan told me," Neji said pointing to Gai who was wide-eyed seeing Neji fight. Shino and Hinata blinked at the shiny haired Jounin's direction. Hinata glanced at her stuffed puppy as if it was saying something to her.

"Um… Shiroi-chan says that you touchan looks sick… she also says that he needs to rest somewhere." She told her older cousin.

"Tenten-chan, I bet you couldn't shoot as rock at that tree hole," Ino told the 6-year-old. The two were playing on the see-saw when they got bored and just sat down on the grass that is until Ino noticed the tree hole might be challenging. The two were sitting on the grass near the see-saw and the tree-hole was all the way across the park with some other tree's branches blocking parts of it.

"Bet you I can," Tenten said, picking up a stone and aiming it at a certain angle. When she threw it with the precise power the rock hit some branches but then the rock just bounced forward and eventually landed inside the tree-hole. Ino was totally amazed.

"Wow…" the blonde said as Tenten smiled sweetly.

"I told you I could," she told the younger one. Then they heard something squeak angrily, the two looked down to find a seemingly angry squirrel waving its tiny fist around and holding a rock, it also had a rather huge lump on his head.

"Aw… Tenten-chan I think you hit the poor little squirrel…" Ino said, bending down for the squirrel. "There, there, we're sorry about that," the blonde said with a smile but the squirrel just kept on squeaking away. Tenten sensed danger in the situation and grabbed Ino's arm.

"Um… Ino-chan… I think we should leave it alone…" she said.

"Come on, it's just an innocent squirrel," Ino said, reaching out a hand out pet the squirrel.

"Ino-chan no!" Tenten said pulling the reached out hand just in time to miss the bite of the squirrel.

"Hey! It tried to bite me!" Ino said, then he innocent 5-year-old eyes changed, they turned into angry anime eyes and balled one of her hands into a fist. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT SQUIRREL!" she yelled. The squirrel's eyes also changed, into those wide-eyed scared anime eyes as it backed away. Then it eventually broke into a run, away from the enraged blonde 5-year-old. "COME BACK HERE!" she yelled, chasing the squirrel all around the park. Tenten's eyes turned into those comedic tiny shocked anime eyes as she chased Ino, trying to calm her down.

"INO-CHAN! DON'T! IT'S JUST A SQUIRREL!" she yelled. The two girls and one squirrel ran pass Temari and Sakura, who were standing beside a tree.

"What happened Temari-chan?" Sakura asked the older girl, Temari just shrugged.

"Hey! Can you guys focus on getting me down! I don't like it here!" Kankuro shouted, sitting on top a tree branch. Sakura and Temari were just tossing Keiko-chan, Sakura's stuffed toy panda, when the toy was tossed too high and ended up in a tree. In which Kankuro generously climbed up the tree to get it back, but then didn't know how to get down.

"Oh! Right! HELP! KANKURO WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO GET STUCK UP A TREE!" Temari shouted.

"Hey! I'm not stupid!" Kankuro protested.

"Yes you are!" Temari snapped.

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"YES YOU ARE!"

"NO I'M NOT!"

"Can oneesan and oniichan stop fighting please?" the redheaded Gaara said innocently, suddenly appearing beside Kankuro on the branch. Making the middle child back away in shock.

"Whoa! When and how did you get here!" he said.

"I used my sand," Gaara replied simply. Temari, noticing her youngest brother on top that tree branch, started to panic about him. Tsunade would start scolding her again for letting the youngest of the three do something dangerous.

"Gaara! You get down there at once! Kaachan might get angry!" Temari said worriedly.

"Gaara-kun! Want to join me, Naruto-kun and Shikamaru-kun in playing tag?" Sasuke shouted from below. The chibified Kazekage smiled and nodded, using the sand to let him go down the tree, by the time he reached the ground he ran off to the three who were waiting for him.

"Hey Gaara wait! Are you forgetting… someone?" Kankuro said but the redhead was already too far away from him to hear. "Oh shoot…" he muttered.

"Um… Godaime-sama…" Kurenai said, tapping on the shoulder of the napping Tsuande. The blonde stirred and turned her gaze to the Jounin in front of her.

"Uhn… what is it Kurenai?" she asked tiredly.

"You do know that Kankuro is stuck in a tree right?" Kurenai replied.

"Kankuro… stuck in a tree…" Tsunade said, drifting off to sleep when she realized what Kurenai just told her, she was wide awake by then. "KANKURO IS STUCK IN A TREE!" she shouted in shock, making the Jounin in front of her back away a little.

"Um… y-yeah… Sakura and Temari were tossing Sakura's doll around but then it got stuck in a tree… Kankuro most likely volunteered to bring it back by going up the tree…" Kurenai explained. Tsuande slapped a hand on her forehead in frustration.

"I thought I told that Temari to look after her brothers…" she said while storming up to the tree Kankuro was stuck in. The two sand siblings and the pink haired girl noticed her at once and Temari and Kankuro's face lit up.

"Kaachan! You're here!" the blonde said, going up to the older woman.

"Temari, why is Kankuro up that tree?" Tsunade asked her.

"Because he was going to get Sakura-chan's stuffed toy Keiko-chan," Temari replied innocently.

"Yeah I know that, but what is the real reason why Kankuro went up the tree and eventually got stuck?" Tsuande asked again. Temari blinked a few times but when she got the answer she bowed her head down in shame.

"Because I let him to…" she said. Tsuande felt a little guilty for having such an innocent little girl look down in shame like that, she sighed and bent down on one knee so her face will be leveled with hers.

"Temari, come on Temari look at me," the older blonde said. The younger one hesitated for a while but then looked up to her 'mother' with her blue eyes in the verge of tears.

"Am I being scolded kaachan?" she asked. Tsunade smiled reassuringly at her, which is rare for such an aggressive woman to show her gentle side.

"No Temari… well maybe a little… okay so I am scolding you," she told her. Temari looked down on the ground again in shame; Tsuande lifted her head up gently using her hand under her chin. "But then I'm just telling you what's right, you shouldn't have let Kankuro go up that tree and just called one of the adults to get Sakura's doll," she told her.

"But then I didn't know Kankuro was going to get stuck," Temari said.

"We all didn't know that Kankuro was going to get stuck, but before doing anything like that you should think of what might happen if that happens, do you get what I mean?" Tsunade asked. Temari obviously looked confused. "Let's just put it this way, always ask yourself 'what if?' before doing anything like climbing up a tree, did you ask yourself 'what if?' when Kankuro was going to go up the tree?" the older blonde said.

"No…" the younger blonde said.

"See? Now do you understand me Temari?" Tsunade asked. Temari looked up to her with a smile and nodded.

"I understand kaachan," the young blonde said smiling sweetly.

"KAACHAN! PLEASE HELP!" Kankuro shouted. Tsunade went up to the tree folding her sleeves up.

"All right… hold on Kankuro! I'll try to yank this tree up!" the Hokage said. Sakura, Temari and Kankuro's eyes widened anime-like in shock.

"M-matte kaachan! Couldn't you just climb up the tree and get me!" Kankuro asked.

"No that would only waste time!" Tsunade said placing her hands on the tree. "Hold on tight!" she told him.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Kankuro screamed, holding on to the tree fir dear life. Tsunade was about to yank up the tree when she felt a small tug on the lower part of her shirt. The Godaime looked down to see chibi Lee staring up at her with those big eyes.

"Tsunade-basan, you shouldn't do such violent things," he said. Tsunade blinked a few times and laid her hands off the tree, Kankuro sighed in relief as Tsunade put her hands on her hips looking down at Lee.

"Then what do you think I should do, Lee?" she asked him in a sorta-annoyed tone of voice. The little shiny haired boy smiled up at her.

"Let me handle this," he said.

"Huh?" the Hokage said confusedly. Lee went up to the tree and looked up, suddenly he jumped ninja-like up the tree branch-to-branch until he was in the same branch Kankuro was in. Kankuro blinked a few times at him, surprised at what he just saw.

"How did you do that?" he asked the other boy, Lee just shrugged.

"I don't know… I just… know…" he told Kankuro. Lee held out his hand to the chibified puppeteer. "Take my hand," he said.

"W-what're you gonna do?" Kankuro asked him.

"Just trust me," Lee said, tilting his head to one side with a sweet 6-year-old smile. Kankuro stared at the outstretched hand and nodded, taking the shiny haired boy's hand. "Now stand up," Lee told him.

"But we'll fall!" Kankuro protested.

"No we won't," Lee said. Kankuro hesitated for a while but then if he wanted to get down he'd have to trust this fuzzy-eye browed kid, so he slowly stood up on the branch, in which he thought he would go off-balance but didn't.

"Hey! I'm not unbalanced!" he said happily. Lee smiled at him and then looked back down on the ground, where Temari, Tsunade and Sakura had worried faces.

"All right then, now jump on the count of three," Lee said.

"WHAT?" Kankuro yelled, surprised.

"1… 2…" Lee continued.

"ARE YOU CRAZY!" Kankuro yelled again.

"3… jump!" Lee said and they both jumped off the tree. Kankuro screaming for dear life, he thought they would land with a splat but he didn't feel anything. Confused, he looked down and his feet were on the ground and he didn't feel any pain.

"I'M ALIVE!" he screamed happily, running around in circles. He turned back to Lee with a questioning look. "How did you do that? More importantly… how did I do that?" he asked.

"Um… I don't know… I guess we just… knew…" Lee replied.

"Kankuro-kun… where's Keiko-chan?" Sakura asked, tugging on the older boy's sleeves.

"Ah, here," Kankuro said, giving Sakura her stuffed toy panda. Sakura smiled brightly and hugged her panda tightly.

"Arigatou Kankuro-kun!" she said in a happy tone of voice. Kankuro smiled back at her.

"Sakura-chan! Let's play with them!" Temari said, pointing to the group playing tag.

"Hai! Let me just put Keiko-chan in a safe place," Sakura said, looking around for Kakashi, who was still trying to cheer Gai up. Tsunade noticed Gai's actions and sweat-dropped, she turned back to the pink haired girl who was still holding on to her panda.

"I'll take care of your panda, Sakura, you 'dad' is a little busy right now," Tsunade said. The little pink haired girl looked up to the Hokage and smiled, giving the panda to her.

"Please take care of her," Sakura said, Tsunade smiled reassuringly at her.

"Don't worry, she's safe with me," the older blonde said.

"Sakura-chan! Let's go!" Temari said.

"I'm coming!" the pink haired girl said, running after Temari.

"Hey I wanna play too!" Kankuro shouted before running after the two girls.

"Wait for me!" Lee said, doing the same. Tsunade smiled after them, watching them play happily.

'Looks like they still have a little bit of their ninja knowledge after all,' she thought.
