Chapter 4: More Bad News…?
"…" = Talk
'…' = Thoughts
"…" = Kyubi/ Jutsus
Back in Konoha – Hokage's office
The Kazekage was dead.
This was the most important thing Tsunade kept note of on the mission report in her hands. Or rather the most disastrous note to be accurate. Because the entire report was full of catastrophic news. And that is on top of the fact that the mission is failed.
She had sent Team Kakashi – reduced to just Kakashi and Sakura – just this last week in a mission to retrieve the Kazekage, along with Team Guy. The mission was very dangerous, perhaps too dangerous, considering it involved hostile contact with a group of ninjas that can take down Kages. Even so, she hoped that the teams she chose would be enough, despite the danger she was exposing them to.
She hadn't much hope for the Kazekage himself though. She had sent her ninjas to save him out of goodwill toward an allied village, but his fate was pretty much sealed from the moment they knew he was captured.
The good thing in all of this was that nobody from her ninjas died during the mission. But still, this was another disaster that was added to her rising pile of headaches.
'I am hating this job more and more…' Tsunade thought as she skimmed through the report. From what the report explains, Team Kakashi and Guy searched for clues from the villagers and officials on the Akatsuki who fought the Kazekage as soon as they arrived on Suna, before finding the Kazekage's dead body in a cave all the way in the Land of Rivers thanks to Pakkun's tracking skills.
Apparently, the village was attacked at night by some sort of flying white things that exploded, made and controlled by a shinobi with blond hair tied in a ponytail wearing the infamous Akatsuki robe. This matched the intel she and Kakashi had – she had given the masked jounin Jiraya's info on the Akatsuki as part of the mission briefing – and seemed to be the work of Deidara of Iwa. They also had found that Kankuro, the Kazekage's brother, was fatally injured from a fight with another Akatsuki. They worked in pairs after all. Pairs of S-Rank. And this second one didn't match any person profile Jiraya gave her, as Kankuro seemingly was hit with a highly potent poison and no one from the six she had info on used any poison as part of their arsenal.
Fortunately, Sakura has managed to save him; Tsunade felt proud of her student for that, but it was squashed by the swarm of depressing news the report had.
For instance, aside from Temari - Kankuro was still unconscious by then - not one Suna ninja volunteered to save their own Kage! Temari herself was forbidden from going as 'she was Suna's ambassador to Konoha and was important in the village'. This was an unlikely reason, Tsunade thought. And it rang danger bells.
She would understand such reasoning to keep Temari in if they sent a team or an S-class shinobi of their own to help out, but Suna did no such thing. And letting a team of foreign ninjas rescues your Kage wasn't something any of the Great Five Nations would do – it was a very humiliating thing - as if openly saying that the village is weak. And thus, she guessed the likely reason for such behavior.
The Sunagakure higher-ups wanted to get rid of the Kazekage.
Tsunade's frown deepened as she read more of the report and found more things that confirmed her theory.
On Kakashi's notes on the mission, he points out that Suna's shinobis were not fond of her team's presence in their village. And most didn't even talk to them. Only one jonin explained the situation for Kakashi and his company. Temari's teacher to be exact, Baki. He told them later that he sent the call for help for Konoha personally and without approval from Suna's elders or their knowledge. Days later, she still hadn't received any official messages from Suna either about the status of their Kage or any request for help.
"This has red flags all over it…" Tsunade hissed out loud. Why would they want the Kazekage's death was not something she had to put too much thought on, there was actually a myriad of reasons. His jinchuriki status being one, his past life being two, his rather too warm friendship with Konoha being three, which cost the Hidden Sand a lot of missions and funding from the wind Daimyo much like in the era of the fourth Kazekage; except Gaara didn't think much of it as he saw Konoha as a vital ally to Suna, but for his people, the Kazekage probably appeared more of a puppet of Konoha rather than an ally.
Another likely reason might be that Gaara was made Kazekage because he was the son of the past Kazekage instead of his strength, which while still impressive, was not Kage material. He was not anywhere near jinchurikis who had control over their Biju like Kumo's jinchurikis, and certainly not at the level of the late fourth Mizukage, who also was a jinchuriki. At best, Gaara was High A-rank, which could be seen as an insult at Suna itself as solidified their status of the weakest hidden village out of the great five, making an A-rank shinobi their Kage.
The reasons were there if anyone can see the scattered pieces, but a village killing their own Kage was still a bit too farfetched. One thing was for sure though, Konoha's relation with Suna was now in the hands of whoever the next Kazekage was. And if it was anyone from the neutral or anti-Konoha camps in Suna, the alliance between the two villages would be in danger.
'I need a drink…' Tsunade thought with a sigh and put the report on the desk. She then went to her drawer and pulled a sash of sake and a cup. Her only saving grace these last days.
Shizune chose this exact moment to walk in… with a huge stack of paperwork.
Tsunade blanched. 'Oh lord, no…'
"Lady Tsunade, I brought today's paperwork…" Shizune declared before seeing what the Hokage had in her hands. Her face immediately went comically angry. "NO! Lady Tsunade, we talked about this! No drinking on the job!"
"You try dealing with this Hokage shit every day and then tell me that…" Tsunade replied and poured her sake into the cup.
A cup that Shizune smacked away.
"Lady Tsunade, we agreed on this! If you start drinking then you'll just pass on your duties and pile them up! And then I will have to do it!"
"Then fucking do it!"
"But it's YOUR job!" The black-haired girl pointed an accusing finger at the busty blonde.
"So what? I don't like it!"
"You're the one who accepted this position, Lady Tsunade!"
"I was tricked into that!" Tsunade turned her head and pulled a second cup from another drawer.
Shizune smacked it away too.
"Bitch!" Tsunade glared at her student like she committed treason.
"I am sorry Lady Tsunade, but you have responsibilities and my job is to make sure you keep them!"
Shizune's explanation didn't dampen Tsunade's glare at all.
The younger medic sighed. It seems there was no convincing her teacher this time. "…I'll go get the rest of the paperwork."
"Good, just shoo and let me drink my damn sake…" Tsunade exclaimed nonchalantly and pulled another cup from her drawers – she was prepared for her student. It then registered to her what the black-haired woman said. "Hold up, there's MORE paperwork!?"
Shizune already reached the door and shut it after exiting. The Hokage of Konoha kept starring at the door and sipped her cup of sake. For some reason, the sun's light faded at that particular moment, making the situation a tad more dramatic.
POOF!
Tsunade's thoughts were abruptly halted as a frog ap on her desk, spit a scroll, then disappeared as it appeared in a poof of smoke.
Tsunade looked at the scroll the frog put on her desk; a wet scroll with the odor of frog's shit. Tick marks spawned on her head at that. Can't her stupid teammate give her messages in a less repulsive way?
Nevertheless, she opened the scroll, and her eyes immediately went wide.
Guess she is sending Team Kakashi on another mission right now…
A little while later – Naruto's apartment
Great.
Awesome.
Cool.
And any other word that means those three.
"Yes! Finally!"
Inside his apartment, Naruto's eyes snapped open. And they were different. No longer were they bright cerulean blue. Now they were a majestic mix of amber and gold. He cracked his knuckles, feeling a power surge through him. A mischievous grin was now plastered on his face.
Finally, after all that meditation and waiting he did for so long, it FINALLY paid off.
He was thankful that no one interrupted him while training. His old apartment was surprisingly, and not any training ground, really the best choice he could have thought of. No one bothered him for the entirety of the week and he was simply training alone. Even with the ANBU snitches around, as far as they were concerned, he was just meditating with clones – which is actually what he was doing to the oblivious.
That is unless they had a Hyuga with them or a sensor. Or someone who could sense nature energy.
…ok, maybe it wasn't as smooth as well as he was thinking.
'Well, I can't do anything about it now…' He thought. Hopefully, no one of those who can sense what he is doing right now is or was among the ANBU watching.
He shrugged and started cracking his hand, opening it and closing it. The rush of power he was feeling was insane. He could feel everyone in the village, their movement, everything. It was like he was looking at the village from above.
Oh, he sooo wanted to use this on someone and beat the shit out of him… or her. Maybe he'll ask for a mission later and try it.
It was then that he noticed that there was an approaching chakra signal nearing him. It was female, somewhat familiar. But most importantly, it was a Hyuga.
'Shit! Just my luck…' Naruto cursed and quickly deactivated his new power. Thankfully deactivating it was much faster than what it takes to activate it. In a second, his eyes turned back to their original cerulean blue, just in time as he heard a knock on the door.
"Coming!" He got up and moved to his door. He opened it and then was met with…
"H-hi, Na-arut-to…"
…Hinata Hyuga.
"Hi Hinata! Wanna come in?" Naruto said with an eye smile and a grin. Internally however he was having a completely different line of thought. 'If she doesn't give me a good reason why she interrupted my training, I swear I'll break her legs!'
The female Hyuga's face, for some reason, turned red instantly. 'Don't nosebleed! Don't faint! Don't faint! DON'T FAINT!' "I ju-just w-wanted to s-sa-say we-welco-come back. I di-didn't g-get to sa-say it l-last time…" she managed to say lamely, her eyes staring down.
'I got interrupted for this!?' Naruto thought with annoyance. A tick mark was on his forehead. Still, he smiled at Hinata and scratched his cheek… it was a weird combination of expressions. "Oh… thank you! Is that all?"
"NO!" She yelled and snapped her face at him, before she realized what she did and immediately returned to stare at the ground, blushing fiercely. "I…" she started weakly, "…I-I wa-wanted t-to te-tell you som-something…'
Naruto's eyebrows rose a little. Did she have some important news or something? "Sure thing… What is it? Is Granny Tsunade calling for me?"
Hinata wasn't listening to him, however. She was readying herself. She had been practicing this particular moment for a long time! She won't mess it up! She can't mess up! She had heard that he had no more interest in Sakura from Ino and that he even called her ugly! So this is probably her only chance to tell him how she feels...
"I… I… I wan-wanted to sa-say t-th-that I…" She wanted to say it, to continue and declare her feelings right here for him. But she couldn't lift her head to look at him, her face too reddened, her tongue tied into a knot. She was having a hard time mustering her willpower.
'This bitch! I swear…' Naruto almost scowled. Couldn't she just tell him what she wanted and be done instead of fidgeting like a damn schoolgirl-
It clicked then in his mind, and he widened his eyes.
She… She wasn't thinking that about him, was she? She couldn't have – didn't just! – interrupt his training for such a simple-minded reason? She couldn't be THAT much a princess in a fairy tale type of girl… right?
As she continued to fidget and muttering something under her breath, Naruto seized his chance. He needed to be sure.
'Hey, Kyubi! Can you tell me what is Hinata thinking right now?'
The giant fox snorted. "My powers are not to be used for you stupid hormones, kit! Deal with it yourself!"
'Thank you so much…' Naruto replied sarcastically.
Kyubi's emotion sensing skill would have been really helpful in this situation. But since the fox was being a difficult piece of shit, he guessed he will have to try a different method of knowing. A more classic one.
Still trying to mumble her confession words, Hinata didn't seem to catch the blonde's hand catching the back of her head.
The next second happened way too fast for her.
Naruto yanked her to him by the head until she bumped on his chest, closed the door, slammed her on the door, and then…
…Bliss.
She wasn't prepared for this. She WASN'T prepared for this. She had always been a shy and sweet girl; this was not within the boundaries of her imagination about love. The best of the best she had been hoping to get from whatever her meeting with Naruto could be called was a returning of her feelings, and perhaps, if she was blessed by the gods, she would get a peck on her cheek, and that is if she stayed awake through it. That was the extent of her wet dreams.
Needless to say, getting Naruto's lips crashed onto hers was not, by a LONG shot, what she expected. The sensation was too strong and overwhelming for her to bear. And so, she did what Hinata usually did in this kind of situation.
She fainted.
'Are you kidding me!?' Naruto growled and let Hinata hit the ground with an audible THUD.
He was first interrupted by this girl, stopping him from checking out his cool new power, then she stammers like a dumb bitch and makes him waste time, and when he gives her what she clearly wanted, she fucking faints!?
What the fuck kind of bullshit is this!?
Worst of all, the damn orange furry in his head was finding this way too funny and was howling with laughter. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA! This is rich! First that Uchiha brat choked and now this girl fainted. Guess that tells you how smooth of a kisser you are! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
'Shut up! You're giving me a headache with how loud you are…' Naruto thought while clutching his head. 'Plus, you've seen me do it with Miss Hothead. You know that this is just a fluke… Yeah, a fluke.'
"Maybe. Doesn't mean it isn't hilarious though…" Kyubi said and continued to laugh.
'Yeah keep laughing. It doesn't help my situation now…' Which is an unconscious noble girl in his apartment with ANBU surrounding his house, and who saw her enter!
"…Do you need help?"
"Yes. I do." Naruto said before realization hit him, and he turned to his head so hast, he might have cracked it. And sure enough, someone was standing to his side. "HOLY SHIT! WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!?"
"Somewhere… But that doesn't matter… what the hell is Hinata doing in here?"
"She just fainted from me kissing her… Wait aren't you going to be spotted!? There is ANBU outside."
"Don't worry. I teleported them away before coming here."
A blond eyebrow rose in curiosity. "Where…?"
"To the ANBU Barracks. There is an orgy in there right now, so they'll be preoccupied for the moment."
He wasn't sure how to reply to this, "Ok…" He then changed the subject. "What are you doing here by the way?"
"I came to tell you that I'll need more time to get you all what you wanted." A groan escaped Naruto's lips. "And I wanted to check on you. Know what have you been up to in this last week…"
"I've on training like I told Granny Tsunade. And I got on and made a friend too. A useful one."
"Oh… Would you mind telling me who?"
"…No."
A silence fell, before... "No as in you don't mind?"
A deadpan was the answer Naruto gave.
"I see." The figure then picked up Hinata and placed her over the shoulder. "Well then, later."
And just like that, the figure and Hinata disappeared into nothingness. Naruto wondered for the shortest seconds why he couldn't sense it whenever his 'associate' came or disappeared before shrugging and returning to his training.
POOF!
Correction: he tried to return to his training.
An ANBU appeared right in front of the blonde, wearing a cat mask.
Naruto deadpanned and pointed behind him. "The door was over there…"
The ANBU brushed off his remark. "Uzumaki Naruto, Lady Hokage requests your immediate presence at her office. The rest of your team will be there as well." A monotone voice said before the ANBU disappeared in another poof of smoke.
The blonde looked at the smoke the ANBU left before running a hand through his head. "Well, guess Granny is on point in this one. I was going to ask her for a mission anyway…" he said quietly to himself before moving to his apartment's door.
Just as he touched the door's handle though, he remembered that the ANBU told him that his team will be at the Hokage's office too.
Meaning that Kakashi was going to be there too.
And if Kakashi was going to be there…
Then why would he go right now?
He had a bit of free time…
…and now he was starting to regret taking advantage of it!
"Hey look! It's that demon child again!"
"Dude, don't you have ANYTHING ELSE to do or say? You've literally been waiting the ENTIRE week to see him!"
"Shut the hell up Takeru! You're becoming a demon lover like Hizo…"
"I heard that you asshat!"
"And so what if I become a demon lover? What, you're going to shit talk me behind my back too?"
"No, you're gonna become the demon's meal and you'll be done for."
"Good riddance, I say."
"Oh, so that's it? It's way better than staying with you jerkoffs all day insulting a kid, I'll say."
"Yeah! What Takeru said!"
"Come on, Hizo! Let's say hello to the guy and ditch these wannabe edge lords."
"Fine then! Go fuck off you two! But don't come back if he breaks your legs."
In the distance, Naruto was walking in the direction of this group of civilians with an annoyed expression. '…These people aren't even quiet and whispering anymore.'
"Who cares about them?"
The answer was almost instantaneous. 'You…' The Kyubi was the one rambling about killing and cutting the mental link after all.
"Hmph, as if. At any rate, do tell me what do you think you're doing right now? Or rather, what you have been doing for the past hour…"
'Taking a walk… I've been meditating in my apartment for about the entire week after all…'
"Taking a walk? Ha! What are you, Alucard?"
Naruto stopped and scrunched up his face. "…Who?"
"Nobody you know. Anyways, two man-pussies are approaching, kit. Deal with them."
Sure enough, Takeru and Hizo were approaching him. "Hey there…" One of them trailed off before whispering to the other. "Hizo, what's the kid's name?"
"What! You've been defending the guy all this time and you don't even know his name!?"
"Hey! You can be chivalrous without knowing people's names! Now just help me here!"
"I can hear you both you know…" Naruto said from his position. "…And the name is Naruto Uzumaki." He started walking past the two before one of them grabbed his arm.
"Oh Naruto! Yeah, yeah I remember it now. Just slipped my mind there, sorry…" Takeru said with an awkward chuckle. "I think we started on the wrong foot here, and on other things, and I want to apologize for it. How about you go with us to my new ramen stand, huh? It's just over the corner, the only one in Konoha besides Ichiraku! The first three bowls are on the house!"
Naruto yanked his arm from the man's grip and walked away. "Sorry, but I don't eat crap…"
Takeru and Hizo were shocked by the response. As in shocked for a good minute. Faint laughter could be heard behind them by the group of civilians they left behind.
Takeru then snapped. "Well fuck you too! Think you're too good for my ramen stand!"
Naruto was far away from them by now. '…Maybe you're right Kyubi…'
"Of course I am right!" Was the Kyubi's haughty reply. "…about what though?"
Before he could answer, the blonde's danger senses kicked in.
'I just can't enjoy a break when I want to, can I?' Naruto said as he dodged what appeared to be… ink lion heads?
He jumped high in the air and avoided a few more… but was met with even more ink lions. 'Where are these shitty things coming from?' He summoned a clone and launched himself away. The ink creatures were still following him though.
He jumped again… but more ink lions chased him.
"Futon: Daitoppa (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough)!"
The ink lions were blown away in a giant gust of wind. As were some buckets of water. And some tiles from a roof. And some random pants.
"Alright, now where are they coming from…?" the blond closed his eyes and focused. Then snapped them open and looked left. "Found you!"
Again, he summoned a clone at his left side and wordlessly did a Rasengan on his right hand. Said clone threw him at a suspicious black-haired guy who was holding a scroll.
"Ninpo: Choju Giga (Ninja Art: Super Beast Imitating Drawing)!"
More ink lion heads flew at the blonde. But he bypassed them midair with clones.
A crater was created as Naruto slammed the Rasengan on the roof. The black-haired guy avoided it and stood away from him.
Naruto pointed at his opponent. "Hey, you! What's the big idea?"
A fake smile was what he got in response. "I suppose you aren't as weak as I was told, dickless."
A lone blond eyebrow rose. "Dick jabs? That mediocre? What are you, a pale schlub?"
"No, I am Sai. Pleased to meet you, dickless." Sai drew on his scroll and summoned even more ink lion heads.
"How about you get on your knees and I'll show you dickless!" Naruto replied and threw a gust of wind at Sai.
'Futon ninjutsu?' Sai thought. He wasn't informed that the blond man could use anything of the sort. Acting quickly, he jumped over the roof and landed on the ground. His opponent might be far stronger than what he was briefed on.
A punch to the side of his face halted his thinking, and he turned around to see… Naruto? 'When did he…?'
"Ever wonder where all the clones you attacked went to?" Sai got his answer, but the clone wasn't finished. "Don't look up by the way…" The clone then poofed.
Sai didn't get to think about his words much though, because his face got stomped by something from above. And he impacted on the ground, hard.
"Eat that!" Naruto grinned as he landed, cracking his neck. He dusted off his clothes a bit too… then dodged more ink lions. He glanced sideways and noticed a smiling Sai with his scroll open. The Sai next to him burst into ink. 'Change of plans then…'
The blond sidestepped all the ink creatures and sprinted to the black-haired man. He jumped as he neared him, then kicked him in the lower leg. A crack was heard. Then he uppercuts him. And for the finish, he elbowed him in the side of his face.
The Sai in front of him then burst into ink as well… and splashed the blond. And his clothes.
"You bastard! I only have two of these!" Naruto growled.
"Ninpo: Choju Giga!"
'That's it!' Naruto thought as he blew another gust of wind and sent everything flying away. Except for Sai.
Before the black-haired man knew it, the blond was before him, tackling him to the ground. He then rolled and threw him at a nearby wall, then pinned him with his arm.
"I am going to ask you this one time: what's your problem?" Naruto was fed up with the guy. He ruined his clothes, ruined AND wasted his time, and had a very punchable face.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to test you, dickless. And I have to say that I -"
A punch to the face interrupted Sai's answer. And the guy fell to the ground.
Naruto retracted his punch. "You know what, I don't care. Just fuck off and don't bother me, you pale prick."
"That was quite pathetic." The strongest Biju let himself be known.
'Yeah, he didn't even put up a good fight…'
"I was talking about you…"
Naruto didn't understand. 'What? How was I pathetic? I beat him up like it was nothing!'
"But your shit-talking was trash…" Kyubi pointed out. "Pale shlub? On your knees? That is the best you could come up with?"
Blue eyes rolled. 'That is what you care about?'
"It is a big deal when I am stuck in your head. And I heard the other ideas you had in mind. They were atrocious as well…"
'…Just shut up…'
One shower and clothes' changing later – Hokage Office.
"Yo!" Naruto greeted enthusiastically as he entered the Hokage's office…but wasn't greeted back.
Instead, he received a glare from the world's only pink-haired kunoichi, a scowl from his only granny, an… approving nod from Kakashi? Wait a minute, is his eye glowing? Also, there was a fourth guy, but his face was blank.
"About damn time you idiot! We've been waiting for forever! What took you so long?" Sakura yelled. It seems that she hasn't got over her problems with the blond. Or maybe she did? Who cares anyway…
Naruto made a thoughtful pose. "Well, I was on my way, but I saw a girl being raped in a back alley, and I wanted to help her, but check this! It turned out they were roleplaying! So I was like 'What the fuck?' and they were like 'Fuck off!', even the girl! And it pissed me off! So I killed the guy and raped the girl myself. It was a good time…" He chuckled at the end.
To put it simply, the other attendants of the room were shell shocked at his words. "Hey relax. It was a joke…" Nope, still shocked.
Well, Kakashi wasn't anymore. He was clutching his hand and letting out tears… 'Finally! One of my students took after me! Sensei, I did it!' …Tears of joy apparently!
"Five out of ten for lying…" Kyubi let out.
'…You're a mood killer…'
"At any rate…" Tsunade started, dismissing Naruto's rather alarming excuse as a prank. "I have a new mission for you, Team Kakashi. And it is one of utmost importance to you three." She said and glanced at three members of Team Seven. "A few hours ago, I've received information from Jiraya on the location of Orochimaru."
Immediately, Kakashi got rid of his comical look and adorned a serious face. Naruto shrugged and put his hands behind his head. Sakura… well… she did a Sakura pose. As in she put a hand over her mouth and widened her eyes.
"As you all know, Jiraya cannot stay in one place because of his spy network. He left a day after coming back with Naruto. And Orochimaru is an enemy of the village and someone I don't need to introduce. At any rate, the mission doesn't involve him directly. It involves Sasuke Uchiha." Kakashi narrowed his eyes. Sakura widened hers. Naruto…grinned?
'Question for later…' Tsunade thought. "Jiraya has sent me information on Orochimaru's current whereabouts, and his contacts confirmed that Sasuke is there too." The blonde Hokage paused a little before continuing. "I know that you just came back yesterday, Kakashi and Sakura, but this is pressing matters. Capturing and retrieving Uchiha Sasuke is your objective. Questions?" Silence. "Good then. For your fourth member over here, I am sending jonin Yamato. He is one of our best, as this is a very dangerous mission."
"Hi!" Was all the fourth member, now identified as Yamato, said.
"Dismissed." The four before her disappeared immediately.
A while later – Fire Country Forest
'This gotta be my lucky day! I get Sasuke as my first target practice!'
"Just make sure you don't make out with him…"
Naruto stopped all actions at that, which were limited to tree hoping. 'Did you have to say that?'
"It felt right." Kyubi laughter right after that sentence felt wrong. As in very dark kind of wrong.
'Yeah laugh it up, stupid furry…'
"Naruto, is everything alright?" Kakashi's voice snapped the blonde out of his thoughts. He looked up to see the three far away from him, yet still within hearing range. The blonde nodded and followed them.
Wordlessly, Kakashi and Yamato moved on.
Sakura however didn't.
"Hey, Naruto!" She called and waited for him to catch up with her. "You seem less cheerful than usual… Are you anxious about meeting Sasuke?" It was the only reason she could think of to explain the blonde's quietness.
For Naruto… well he had a lot of answers, but he opted for the prankiest.
"Who…?" Naruto asked and looked at her weirdly. The face she made was worth it. "Oh yeah, Sasuke. Sure… it's about him."
"…Three out of ten for lying."
'Up yours…'
AN: I… don't have really much to say… so… here… bonus scene time!
*Omake: Naruto vs Kiba!
Kiba snickered. "Ha! What's wrong Naruto? Are you chickening out of a challenge?"
Naruto looked at him funny. "And who's the challenger, you Kiba?"
"Damn straight!" Kiba got into a fighting stance. Shino dragged Hinata to the side and watched. Akamaru barked and posed intimidatingly before he transformed into another Kiba.
"Give me your best shot, dog breath!" Naruto said and made a Rasengan in each hand.
"I'm going to make you eat those words!" Kiba said as he rushed Naruto, with Akamaru Kiba following his suit closely.
Naruto, in a complete surprise for the two Kibas, rushed at them too and bypassed them, turned around… and shoved the Rasengans up their butts.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"AAWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF!"
Kiba and Akamaru probably reached the sky judging by how far they flew.
Naruto then turned to the camera and gave a thumbs up. "And that is how you stick a Rasengan up someone's ass, believe it!"
A silence, then…
"GODAMNIT I SAID THAT STUPID CATCHPHRASE!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Omake End!
