HAPPY ONE YEAR

As of the 17th, it has been one year since this story has been published. I never thought that I would get to this point. Thank you for reading up to this point and favoriting, and following this story

Before we begin, any similarities to something are accidental and are not making fun of anything. Just a warning in case any of you think I am making light of a situation

Chapter 43: A fox's day in the village

Naruto slowly opened his eyes as a small ray of sun peaked in through the tall trees and miraculously landed on his eyes. "I chose this spot in the forest because it has everything I need, but of course, the spot I choose to sleep in is the only place in the whole forest that the sun shines through. I swear that damn sun is doing this to me on purpose." he got to his paws and walked out of the den he made for himself under a tree. Once out, he stretched like a cat, with his tails stretching as well. "I swear I am going to find a way to destroy you." he made his way to a stream nearby in order to freshen up as best he could. Dunking his head in, he immediately woke up as the cool refreshing water hit his face. He brought his head up with more energy than before "ah, that's a good way to wake up! A lot better than the ice-cold shower from the apartment." he then went to the small waterfall that created the stream and used it to clean himself. Once done with that he moved to the shore and shook himself dry, although he had some trouble drying some of his tails. He made his way back to his den and rummaged through some of the things that he had in it until he grabbed one of the scrolls that he had and unsealed a set of clothes. He henged himself into his smaller human form and got dressed. "I gotta find a way to keep my clothing on me when I use my Henge. Maybe I could come up with a seal that could change the size of my clothes so they stay on me when I switch forms." he finished tying his sash before he began to jump through the forest in the direction of the village.

Once he made it to the village he just began to walk around as he had nothing really planned/ he didn't really need to do any missions today since he had already saved up a good amount of money, not to mention the fortune that he had gotten when he drove that casino he went to into bankruptcy. "Hmm what should I do today? Ino-chan and Hinata-chan are both out on missions with their teams so I can't hang out with them, Sakura-san told me that she and Haku-san were going out to train today and that she would finally ask him out after they're done. Right now Karin-chan should be at the hospital helping out the staff….or making sure that Lee-san isn't overdoing his rehab. I could bug Baa-chan but she will probably just punch me through the wall. I could go see Jiji but he is probably enjoying his retirement but maybe I will see him later. Tenten-chan is probably still mad at me for not telling her about Baa-chan and if I go to her shop she will use me for target practice. Konohamaru and his friends are at the academy right now….damn." he continued walking through the village trying to figure out what to do while trying to figure out what to do for the day.

He made his way to his favorite spot: the top of the Hokage monument. He looked out to the village when suddenly, inspiration hit him. "Yes, that's perfect! It had been so long since I had done this. A Pranking marathon. And now with seals in my grasp, it will be so much easier. Beware Konoha! The Master of Pranks is making a return!"

Throughout the whole Village, every civilian and shinobi, save a select few, stopped what they were doing as they froze in place. It was like someone had hit the pause button on the whole village. Every man, woman, and child then all shivered at the same time as dread came over them.

The ones that were not working immediately began to finish their business as fast as they could and ran home. The ones that were working prayed that nothing bad would happen as they had an obligation in staying where they were. The shinobi spread out their senses in order to make sure that nothing would attack them.

The Anbu that were spread throughout the village got on guard and began to radio in an emergency alert for them alone. They could not raise the alarm until they knew for a fact that something terrible would happen. All of them just kept their eyes open for anything suspicious.

~Hokage Tower~

Tsunade was looking out the window with a confused expression. She was looking down at the streets and couldn't see any movement. "Shizune, do you know what's going on?"

Shizune who was standing next to Tsunade shook her head "sorry Lady Tsunade, but no I don't."

Before Tsunade could speak again, her secretary and several other staff members that worked in the building burst through the door and began to barricade it. "What is the meaning of this."

Her secretary looked at Tsunade with a look of dread. "Forgive us Tsunade-sama, but this is the safest place for everyone right now!"

Tsunade was confused at this "and what is it that you are trying to be safe from?"

One of the males looked to her "we all felt the chill. The same chill that everyone in the village gets when the little demon has chosen to get all of us."

Tsunade and Shizune grew furious at this as they hated the fact that these people were still belittling Naruto

Another man spoke up before Tsunade went off on them "it's not because of his burden!" this caused Tsunade to pause "we are referring him as the pranking demon. The bane of everyone's sanity. The last time he was let loose on the village, no one left their homes for two weeks. Not even the Anbu were spared from his wrath."

Tsunade was slightly intrigued by this and sat down back in her seat "it can't be that bad."

The group of people looked at each other and all shivered as they remembered some of the pranks done.

This caused Tsunade and Shizune to become slightly worried.

~Hiruzen's home~

Hiruzen was sitting in his living room, reading his little book when he felt the shiver. "Oh dear, it would seem Naruto-kun is going for it again…...a pity for everyone." he sighed before he went back to his book. "...ooh Mistumi-chan, you naughty girl"

~Inuzuka compound~

Tsume was barking orders to all her clansmen "I want every corner of our compound covered! I don't even want an ant to get in! And get the Ninken inside right NOW!"

Hana walked up to her mother as she looked around "mom, what's the emergency?"

Tsume sighed as she looked at her daughter "the pup is once again going on a pranking marathon. I'm getting everyone ready for when he comes."

Hana looked around and saw that only the clansmen were out and none of the ninken "why are all of our ninken inside instead of outside with their partners?"

"Because the last time he came, he was able to get fleas on all of them. We need to make sure that doesn't happen again." Tsume looked to her daughter with slight worry "you should stay in your clinic for the rest of the day. He might not go after you since he likes you."

Hana laughed at this before heading to her clinic. As she made her way, she thought of something "how does he get fleas on the ninken but not himself. He told me once that he hates fleas."

~Akimichi compound~

"Protect the food! Get it all into the safehouse!"

Every Akimichi were carrying hordes of food into a cellar that was made for emergencies. They have labeled the upcoming Maelstrom an emergency of the highest degree.

~Yamanka compound~

Noriko was leisurely tending to her flowers as the rest of the clansmen frantically ran around trying to fortify their compound. "Such a racket. Aren't you taking this a little too far?"

Inoichi, who was carrying wooden boards to use on some windows stopped and looked to his wife "we are just making sure that we don't suffer so much. It's best to be prepared."

Noriko smiled as she placed a kiss on his cheek "it's just his way of expressing himself."

Inoichi just gained a gloomy aura "yes but I wish he had a different way of doing it."

~Nara compound~

All the men were lazing about since all of them found it too troublesome to even try to stop the inevitable

~Aburame compound~

All members of the Aburame clan were each standing in a random corner of any room and stood completely still. They hoped that their unique ability to not be seen by anyone would come in handy right now since this time…..they didn't want to be noticed.

~Hyuga compound~

Hitomi and Hanabi were enjoying a cup of tea as the rest of the clan were standing on the wall of the compound facing outward with their Byakugan active.

"Mother, what is everyone worried about?"

Hitomi giggled at the question as she looked out to the courtyard "they are afraid of a storm that is coming. But we should be fine as this storm will not harm us."

Hanabi was confused about this but if her mother said it was going to be alright then she would just accept that.

~Hosptial~

A nurse was glaring at a group of people that were standing at the front door "unless any of you are in need of medical attention, then you will not be allowed in. and that's final!"

"Please! You have to let us in and find sanctuary!"

"It won't attack us if we are in there!"

The nurse just put her nads on her hips before huffing "too bad. This is a hospital, not a bunker." she turned around and walked through the door before she locked the door so no one could get in. 'thank Kami I had an early shift today.' she sat made her way down the hall feeling somewhat bad about her coworkers that didn't have a shift today

Karin came out to look down the hall and asked the nurse "whats going on?"

The nurse just smiled as she waved her hand "just some village problem. I would recommend that you stay inside this room until the end of the day." she then began to continue walking down the hall

Karin was confused about what she was told but just shrugged her shoulders. She moved back into the room and went over to Lee who was holding himself up by his arms as he tried to get used to walking again.

~later~

The village streets were barren of any living thing. It was as if the village had become abandoned by everyone.

Suddenly a man tumbled out of an alley panting and sweating in fear. He looked around him as if he was looking or something

"Mwahahahahaha"

From all around him a laugh was heard. This caused the man to scramble to his feet and he began to run down the street, trying to find a safe place to be

"Hahahahaha"

He began to push himself as fast as he could and after a few seconds, he found his salvation. Ichiraku Ramen. He ran faster than he ever thought he could and he felt safe the second he made his way inside.

Ayame looked to the man and smiled "welcome to Ichiraku Ramen. Are you a customer?"

The man was trying to catch his breath as he looked up "uh…..no I just needed to get away from ….." he pointed outside with a shaky finger "...that."

Ayame looked out past the flaps with her smile still on "well if you are not a customer, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. These folks are customers so they can stay."

The man looked to the seats of the stand and saw that there were a few men and women eating ramen with shaky hands. There were even a few that were standing and leaning against the wall since all the seats were taken. He looked to Ayame with a pleading look "please let me stay here!"

Ayame shook her head with a disapproving frown "sorry but you are going to have to leave if you arent paying for a meal." she moved around the counter and began to push the man out of the stand and into the middle of the street. Once they were in the middle of the street she smiled and bowed "I hope the next time you come by, you will be a welcomed customer. She then walked back inside the stand and continued to work.

The man was freaking out as he was now in the open.

The costumers in the stand could only feel pity for the man as they focused on the bowl in front of them. However, they all shivered when they heard the man.

"Aaaaaaaahhhh no stop! I have a family! A little girl! Please NOOOOOOOO!"

"Mwahahaha than she will love this."

"NNNOOOOOOOOOO! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

Silence

The costumers shakily turned around to see the fate of the man and they could see that a death had occurred. The death of a man's dignity

The man was now wearing a pink ballerina dress that had a swan head coming out of where his belly button was. He wore makeup that was making the ale costumers blush as it was done so well that, if they didn't know any better, they might have mistaken him for a woman. It didn't help that the outfit was put on so tightly on his male pride that it seemed that it no longer existed. The man was also posed in a suggestive pose and for some reason, he wasn't moving

What they didn't know was that there was a seal tag attached to the man's back that paralyzed him, so all he could do was stand in the pose until someone came over and removed the tag

~a general store~

A fat male clerk stood behind the store counter as he looked around the store to see if he could catch any movement. "It's ok. What are the odds that he will come to this store?"

*clack*

"Eeeekkkk!" the man jumped in terror as he thought something happened. He brought his arms up as if to protect himself. After a few seconds of nothing happening, he opened his eyes and saw that he was alone. He looked down one of the aisles to see that it was just a broom that fell to the ground. He placed a hand on his chest as he sighed in relief "oh thank kami."

*thump*

He jumped a bit when he heard something and saw that a bag of rice that was on one of the lower shelves to his right had tipped over. He was starting to feel uneasy

*POP*

A balloon that was by the window popped and another balloon was floating by.

This made him even more worried as the ballon was orange.

The lights began to flicker on and off, causing the man to shiver in fear and silently beg. "I promise, I won't sell you rotten and expired food anymore. I promise I won't kick you out anymore...please leave me alone." he shivered as he looked around the store until the lights went off and only a small bit sunlight from the window shown. He froze when he heard a whisper right next to his ear

"It's too la~te."

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH

The lights turn back on, showing the man clad only in his underwear that was pulled over his head. He was also posed as if he was doing a swan dive while standing in front of the window. He gave a whimper as he felt pain from the wedgie and his member being squeezed from the said wedgie.

~on the streets~

A group of five men were slowly sneaking around trying to make sure that they would not get caught. They peaked around a corner to make sure that it was clear

"How far are we from your house?" spoke one of the men

"Not far. It's only a few streets down. Once we make it in there we will be safe."

"What about Kichi? He was in his own house when he was hit. What's to stop him from getting us in there?" asked another man as he looked behind them

"You got a better idea!?"

"SSSHHHHH"

Suddenly a woman's voice was heard "hey boys, can you help us?"

The group of men looked to their right, only to get bloody noses.

In front of them were a group of five women. Each of them all well endowed with large breasts and plump asses but what got them was the fact that each of them were naked and cover their modesty with their hands as best they could.

A young woman with brown hair, that was in a short ponytail. Shyly looked at the men "can you help us. We all lost our clothes and need help getting home."

A more mature woman that had long purple hair and wore glasses, spoke as if it was pure business "we could use some strong men like yourselves to help us."

A pair of twins that had short yellow hair pressed their breasts together, held both hands with each other, and spoke at the same time "We would love to pay you back if you help us."

The last woman had black hair, that flowed down to just above her ass and had the biggest breasts of them all, spoke last "mm~ we will repay you handsomely" she said as she licked her lips.

The men became drooling messes as they heard this and they threw away all caution to the wind and slowly got closer to the woman, who were gesturing them to come closer. As they got closer, they all lifted their hands and began to squeeze the air in front of them as if they were getting ready to squeeze the breasts in front of them.

However, once they made it halfway to the woman, they were suddenly enveloped in smoke, which caused them to squeal a bit. Once the smoke cleared each of the men were in different full-body costumes. A penguin, a chicken, a pig, a cow, and interestingly a Dodo.

The woman all stood up and all waved happily at the men as they all spoke "bye-bye."

The men were then launched in the air by a large springboard and they were sent flying to another part of the village

All the woman put their hand over their eyes as they watched the men fly as the woman with purple hair spoke "and they said that those animals would never learn to fly." then they all disappeared in a poof of smoke.

~Hokage Monument~

Naruto was rolling around, laughing on the ground as he got memory after memory of different pranks his clones were doing against the villagers. From exploding paint bombs, itching powder, a new tag that he made that made a surface extremely slippery and some horror-based scenarios that ended up with the target in silly positions. And then there were the perverted pranks. "Hahaha and Tenten told me that it was a useless jutsu hahahaha."

He continued to laugh for a long time as the whole village were all screaming for help. Unfortunately for them, this would keep going for a few more hours.

~later~

Haku and Sakura were walking back to the village streets from their training. They had spent all their time in the training field and didn't know what had happened.

Before they made it to the street Sakura stopped walking causing Haku to stop as well.

"Sakura-chan, is there something wrong."

Sakura steeled her nerves as she found this very hard to do. This was a bit of a surprise to her since she had no problem asking Sasuke out for a date but now she felt extremely nervous. 'It ould be that I never really loved Sasuke-san and only saw him as cool.' she gathered her nerves and spoke "Haku-kun...if ...you arent busy next Saturday….would you like to um… go out with me!" she yelled out the last bit, fortunately not the banshee shriek that she used to do thanks to Haku helping her tone down her voice.

Haku blushed at this as it was surprising for him to be asked out. He had never dated anyone before and he would be lying if he said that he didn't feel attached to the girl. He thought about this only for a second as he knew that he liked the girl. "Of course Sakura-chan. I would love to go out with you."

Sakura felt her heartbeat go critical as she heard his answer. She had a beaming smile as she spoke "great! I'm glad you accepted" she wrapped her arms around Haku's in happiness as they began to make their way back to the village.

Sakura's inner voice yelled out in happiness "CHA he said YES!"

The second they made it to the streets they paused at the sight of the villagers.

There were villagers dressed as animals, clowns, babies, naked and several other outfits. Some were stuck on walls, covered in paint and feathered. There were even some that were posing in the middle of the street.

Haku shook his head and asked one thing "Naruto?"

Sakura only nodded her head "Naruto. Good thing we were training most of the day."

"indeed"

End of chapter

Well here is the filler

Same as the bit at the top. This is not meant to make fun of anything. I just wrote this and it came out this way. It's meant for laughs.

To all my readers. I know that some of you did not like the fact that I paired Naruto with Ino and Hinata. I swear when I started this fic, I did not know where it would go and a pairing was not on the table at all. But at an early point, I was leaning more towards Ino than I was Hinata and then I started adding bits with Hinata. At one point in my head, there would be a conflict between Hinata and Ino on who would get together with him but it somehow became this. Overall I am sorry if you don't like that but I hope you enjoy the rest of the story. And besides, it's not really the main focus of the story, it's just kinda there. Which sounds like I just flippantly put it in.

Anyway, the next chapter will be another filler chapter but it focusses more on the other rookies. And in this, I ask you, do you have a pairing that you would like to see. I'm already changing some of the pairings (Haku and Sakura for example) so if you have one that you want to see then let me know. A couple of the different pairings I am already solid on but you can still voice your choice.

Hope you continue to enjoy the story and take care of yourself fellow Fanfic readers and writers
