Chapter 7: The Girls (and dog) are found! And Who Are These Men?

After another while all the other Jounins and the Hokage returned back from their search empty handed. "You still couldn't find them?" Kakashi asked.

"We've searched everywhere but no sign of the girls and Akamaru," Kurenai said sitting next to Kakashi on the bench placing one of her elbows hanging over the backrest of the bench.

"Might as well just hope that their chibiness would wear off soon so they could turn back into regular independent kunoichis," Asuma said sitting on the grass.

"But what if someone gets to them while they're still chibis?" Tsunade said.

"Oh Tenten! Dear Tenten! Where could you be!" Gai cried out dramatically as he cried rivers while putting the back of his arm over his eyes.

"Shut up Gai," Tsunade said, twitching in an annoyed way. Gai obeyed, not wanting to enrage the hot-tempered sake-and-gambling-crazy Hokage. "Kakashi you look like you've just been harassed," the blonde said taking notice on the silver haired Jounin's stressed expression.

"The chibis… piggy-back rides… ice cream… Icha Icha Paradise… bad words… too many children…" Kakashi mumbled making everyone stare at him in a weird way.

"Kakashi?" Kurenai said placing an arm on his shoulder since she was the one next to him.

"GAAAAAH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Kakashi shouted placing his hands over his head and standing straight up. "I'M GOING BACK TO MY APARTMENT AND READ MY PRECIOUS ICHA ICHA PARADISE WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTION!" he shouted again and was about to run away when Tsunade grabbed him by the collar easily making him stop.

"You're not going anywhere, not until we figure out how to turn them back into normal," Tsunade said.

"But… but the chibis… soooooooooooooo hyper…" Kakashi said looking over Tsunade's shoulder and seeing the chibis play. "And Kankurou read my book!" he said shocking the Jounins.

"Kankurou read your book? Kakashi! How could you corrupt a minor like that!" Asuma said.

"It wasn't my fault! I was trying to stop Kiba and Naruto from fighting because they were blaming each other on who broke Hinata's toy—"Kakashi said but was interrupted.

"Hinata's toy broke? Kakashi! How could you let that happen? You were supposed to be watching them!" Kurenai said.

"I know but then Sasuke was going to jump off the swing and—"once again the poor Jounin was interrupted.

"Sasuke was going to jump off the swing? Kakashi! How could you let him do that! He could break his bones!" Tsunade said.

"I KNOW! But then Lee was hanging upside down the monkey bars and he nearly fell off—"Kakashi said but as usual he wasn't able to continue.

"Lee was hanging upside down the monkey bars? Kakashi! How could let all of Lee's youthful blood rush to his brain like that!" Gai said and all the Jounins (except Kakashi) and the Hokage let out disapproving sighs.

"Next time we're never going to leave our chibis with you," Tsunade said.

"Who knows what you could do to them?" Asuma said.

"I am so ashamed for my youthful rival!" Gai said.

"You're a bad babysitter Kakashi," Kurenai said and Kakashi half-moon eyed (T.T) at all the other people.

'They just don't get it do they?' he thought as Tsunade let go of his collar, and then suddenly they heard screams coming from the chibis.

"EW! It's so gross!" Sakura screeched.

"I hate bugs! I hate bugs! I HATE BUGS!" Temari said.

"Shino-kun be careful!" Hinata said worriedly.

"That is one BIG bug…" Sasuke said in awe.

"I want to ride it too!" Naruto said.

"Not before me!" Kiba said.

"That bug's even bigger than Chouji…" Shikamaru said and the chibi Akimichi twitched.

"What is that supposed to mean!" he said.

"SOOOO BIG!" Lee exclaimed.

"Isn't that dangerous?" Neji said.

"Onii-chan I want to ride it too," Gaara said tugging on his older brother's sleeve.

"Uh… I'm not sure if it's safe…" Kankurou said, twitching in a disgusted way.

"Wheeeeeeeeeee! This is fun!" Shino said excitedly, the adults all gathered in the crowds of chibis and gasped in what they saw. The young chibi Shino was riding on a HUGE lady bug (um… about the size of the Bikouchou that wasn't exactly the right Bikouchou that Naruto found in episode 149 or 150…).

"Is that a Great Lady Bug! The one only found in Konoha's forest!" Gai said.

"How did it get here!" Tsunade said.

"I called it!" Shino said as he held onto the lady bug's antennas and rode it around Konoha Park.

"SHINO! Come back here this instant and get off the bug!" Kurenai said running after him.

"Hehehehe! This is fun! This is fun!" Shino cheered as he still rode on the giant lady bug while the adults chased him and tried to get him off, leaving the other chibis behind as they blinked.

"Is Shino-kun going to get into trouble?" Hinata asked Temari.

"If he doesn't get off that disgusting bug then he will," she replied.

"It was so gross…" Sakura said shuddering.

"So big…" Sasuke said, still staring after the bug in awe making Naruto sweat-drop.

"Man Sasuke… you're acting like you've just seen the biggest cup of ramen…" Naruto muttered.

"Hey look! It's a big cup of ramen!" Kiba shouted (ironic?) pointing to a huge cup of ramen as big as the lady bug Shino rode away with, Naruto's eyes widened in a happy way as he saw the humongous ramen cup making little hearts spark around the blonde chibi.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!" he shouted and dashed away from the other chibis going to the direction of the cup, he was laughing like a kid on a sugar-rush as he ran to the huge cup of his favorite noodles. He was almost there when he bumped into a tall figure clad in a black cloak with red clouds and a big hat that concealed his identity, Naruto fell on his butt right after the collision and looked up to the figure angrily. "HEY WATCH IT!" he shouted, he blinked as the figure along with another figure towered over him.

"Isn't he that Naruto kid we're supposed to capture?" one with a sword behind him and a bit taller than the first one said.

"I guess so," the shorter one said.

"He looks younger than the last time we met him,"

"Maybe something happened, anyway, let's just get him while he's that way," the two figures grabbed both his arms making the blonde struggle.

"Hey! What's the big deal! I WANT MY RAMEN!" Naruto shouted starting to throw a tantrum.

"Would you shut up!" the taller one hissed.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAH! THE MEAN MEN WON'T LET ME GET MY RAMEN! I WANT MY RAMEN! NOW!" the blonde chibi shouted, his tantrum now starting as he started to thrash around.

"If the kid throws his tantrum here we're going to get caught," the taller one said to the other one over the noises of the angry Naruto chibi.

"I WANT MY RAMEN! RAMEN! RAMEN! RAMEN!" the blonde continued on with his tantrum.

"Ugh, then do something damn it!" the shorter one said.

"Try this," the two men heard someone say from behind, Naruto stopped thrashing for a while but sniffed a couple of times as they turned to see a small old woman holding some sort of bottle smiling in a friendly way. "This'll calm any child down," she said handing the bottle over to the shorter one.

"Thanks," he muttered and the woman left, when they turned back the woman hid behind an alley and met up with four kids and a dog.

"How did it go Konohamaru-chan?" Moegi asked, the woman smirked and with a poof of smoke Konohamaru had changed back to his original form and gave them a thumbs up.

"Mission complete!" he said.

"Um… but Konohamaru-niisan, if we're supposed to use the medicine on those men, how come you told them to use it on Naruto-kun?" Ino asked blinking confusedly.

"Just watch Ino-chan!" Tenten said peering from the alley like the others watching the scene with Akamaru sitting on top the brunette's head.

"Come on! Drink it!" the taller one demanded trying to force the bottle in the blonde chibi's mouth, he just kept on evading it by turning his head away and keeping his mouth shut. "DRINK IT YOU—"

"Hey, if we want the kid to drink it you better not curse," the shorter one said.

"Then what do you want us to do then!"

"Watch," the shorter one got the bottle from his companions hand and bent down to be leveled with Naruto. "Why won't you drink this?" he asked.

"Medicine always tastes icky!" Naruto exclaimed.

"That's not true,"

"Yes it is!"

"Look, if I drink it, will you drink it too?" he asked, Naruto looked down cupping his chin in his hand thinking.

"Yeah… but that guy has to drink it too!" Naruto said pointing to the taller one.

"You heard him," the shorter one said.

"Tch, fine, it'll only calm kids down anyway, maybe it won't work on adults." the taller one said, the shorter one was the first to drink. After a few sips he gave it to the other one who did the same, he licked his lips and turned to the kid who was looking at them folding his arms. "It actually tastes like punch…" he muttered.

"Naruto! There you are!" they heard another voice say, they turned to see a group of jounins and the hokage with a big group of chibis running at their direction. The sorter one sighed.

"Just when things were supposed to get better," he said.

"Should we run or should we fight?" the taller one asked.

"We've gone this far, I saw we—AH!" the shorter one all of the sudden gasped in some kind of pain and fell on his knees.

"Hey are you o—ARGH!" the taller one said and was soon in the same position with his companion, Naruto just stood there watching as the two men seemed to shrink.

'This is starting to get freaky…' he thought.

"Naruto!"

"Touchan!" the blonde said and ran over to Kakashi who hugged him. "Touchan who are those two men!" he asked.

"Those are bad men Naruto, it's a good thing we found you just in time," Kakashi said.

"Kaachan what's happening to them?" Hinata asked tugging on Kurenai's sleeve.

"It looks like they're… shrinking…" she said.

"But how?" Asuma said.

"It was the medicine they took!" they heard someone say, they turned to see Konohamaru Corp. and Ino, Tenten and Akamaru.

"Ino-chan!" Shikamaru and Chouji cheered as the blonde gave thumbs up.

"Tenten-cha—"Neji and Lee were able to finish since their voices were drowned by Gai's.

"TENTEN!" he shouted as he ran over to the chibified kunoichi and hugged her tightly. "I WAS SO WORRIED! IT'S A GOOD THING YOU'RE SAFE!" he said crying happy rivers.

"AAAAAAAAAH! HELP! TOUCHAN'S BEING SCARY AGAIN!" the brunette chibi shouted.

"Akamaru!" Kiba yelled happily as his white puppy barked and jumped on his owner's arms snuggling up to him and licking his face, Kiba laughed at the puppy's actions.

"What do you mean it was the medicine they took?" Tsunade asked.

"Just watch Tsunade-sama, All will be explained later," Udon said, the blonde hokage turned her head back to the men but then all that was just sitting there were their clothes.

"Why there's nothing there any—"

"Look! Something crawling out!" Sasuke said pointing to the clothes, indeed something was crawling out of the bundle of clothes. The group neared it to take a closer look, what they saw made them gasp in utter shock but Konohamaru Corp. seemed pleased.
