Hey guys. Sorry, it's been quite busy for me lately with a lot of homework. Also, I wasn't planning on redoing this chapter, but I realised I lacked a LOT in description for this one, so I'm redoing it! (It's 1700 words longer if you wanna know!)
I know it will say there is a new chapter, and I'm sorry, but don't worry, Chapter three is coming soon as well.
And thank you for all the feedback that you guys have given! I can't believe how much of you have favourited and followed and reviewed the story already! It's a lot to me, even though it might seem little to you, but thanks to all of you who have! I'm going to stop talking now so you can read this chapter, and I'll see you all in the next!

Mayako's Perspective
It's almost 4am on a Saturday. The birds are starting to chirp a beautiful melody, the wind is blowing through the window, refreshing the place, and everyone else is still asleep in the comfort of their own homes.
Everything's so peaceful.
Well, not for much longer that is, hehe…
"You got the rope?"
"Yep!"
"Paintbrushes?"
"Got them, do you have the paint buckets?"
"You got it!" I raise the two red paint tins over my head by the handles, which swung around from the sudden movement.
"Alright! Let's go mess with this village!" I whisper loudly with excitement in my voice. I lower the paint tins before I span around in the opposite direction I was facing. Just as I was about to walk out the door, Naruto stopped me with his hand.
"Wait, don't we need those cymbals?" Naruto smirks evilly, pointing towards the two pairs of percussion, one for each of us. I smirk lightly, as I turn back around to face my brother.
"Course we do, we need to give this crap village a wakeup call! Heehee." I rub my hands together like a villain does in a movie before attempting to do something horrible. Naruto then runs over to the kitchen table where the instruments were placed last, and took both of them by the handles, one in each hand. His bag on his back swung with him as he spins around, and runs towards me. The bag contained some sturdy, long rope, two pretty big paintbrushes, and some snacks for when we get hungry.
Now that we have all of our essential supplies, we start to head towards the door to embark on our "mission". Oh, and by mission, I mean prank, and it's going to be a bloody good one! I smirk to myself, I can't help it! I turn towards Naruto, who was now standing casually next to me as I reach for the handle of the door that leads in and out of our apartment. I placed both the paint buckets into my right hand, grasping the door handle with my left.
"This is gonna be fun!" I whisper quite loudly to my brother. A little chuckle seeped out of both our mouths.
"You got that right!" He replies quite cheekily. I return my gaze to the door as I turn the knob, opening it to half it's capacity, which is enough for me and Naruto to fit through without making much of a noise. He is now standing behind me as I reach my hand into my left hand pocket, pulling out the apartment key for the door. I close it before using the key to lock it in place. I then return it to its rightful place in my jacket's pocket, and zipped it up so it has a 0% chance of falling out. I turned on my heel in the opposite direction, giving my left hand something to hold to balance the weight I was lifting. I quickly look at Naruto, then take a leap to a nearby roof. I keep jumping from roof to roof, making my way to the centre of the village. Naruto and I bounced like crazy, surprisingly not making a racket. We then see the centre of the village, where the leaf symbol had been engraved into the ground. I land directly in the middle, almost losing my balance, and made a pose of pride. Who knew I had some accuracy. Naruto landed beside me, then taking his back pack off as he sat down, placing the bag in between his legs. He opens the flap that secured all the items, and dug his hand into it, pulling out a rice ball. He pouts, tilting his head to the ground.
"Aw, I thought we had some ramen…" I sigh at his statement.
"We ate it all, remember?" I reply, putting my hands on my hips.
"Yeah, I know." He places his left elbow on his knee and his right hand as a support as he inspects the rice ball. He frowns a bit as he peers at the food. I sigh once more, and make my way other to him, and sit down opposite him, placing the tins next to me, one on either side. I then grab a rice ball for myself, and bite down into it. I swallow the rice before placing it in my mouth, now giving me two free hands as I grab a paintbrush from the bag, and one of the tins that I had placed beside me. I put both of the items in my right hand as I chomp half of the remaining rice ball in my mouth, grabbing the other half with my other hand.
"Come on, we got some work to do, can't waste it sulking over breakfast!" I said to him after I finished my mouthful. He then looks up at me before stuffing the entire rice ball in his mouth, and then stands up, grabbing the paint bucket that was near me before. He then grabs the other paintbrush from the bag before securing the flap, and swinging it onto his shoulders, where it hangs.
"Alright! Let's do this!" He says enthusiastically. I smile before opening the paint tin.
"Where should we start?" I then dipped my paintbrush into the paint, thinking of where to paint first.
Three hours later…
Sasuke's Perspective
Hmph, what the hell is everyone yelling about so early in the morning… and what the hell is all that noise…
I rub my right eye with the sleeve of my shirt, using my other eye to guide me, and my other hand to grasp the end of the screen door that leads to the balcony of my apartment. I yank it across with force, making it slide until it couldn't no more, and step outside, adjusting my gaze to the light. As I regain my vision, I looks around in multiple directions. For a second I thought that I wasn't in the village, but when I realised I was, I admit, I was kind of shocked. Everywhere you look, you could see graffiti. It was on every shop, house, and wall you could see. I then look around once more, realising everyone is pointing and shouting in the direction where the Hokage faces were, and where I could hear most of the racket from. I turn in the direction of the mountain, and peer at the state the faces were in. I then revert my attention to what seemed like two silhouettes. As I glance closer, I see two figures who seen to be dangling down from some sort of rope which had been tied around their waists. Paintbrushes and buckets were also hanging from their waists as well. They also were clasping some sort of instrument together, creating a racket each time they collide. They then shouted something out when they stopped clapping their instruments.
"MORNING SUCKERS-DATTEBAKA!"
"HOW DO YOU LIKE THE VILLAGE!-DATTEBAYO!"
"Tsk…" You didn't need a brain to figure out who they were. Of course it's those two idiotic knuckleheads. I slide the door shut behind me, then pulse chakra into my feet as I begin to jump onto the roofs that leaded to the mountain. I pass by many frustrated looking villagers, who are swearing, and some who are just being quiet, taking amongst themselves. I then pick up the pace, and focus my attention on the two idiots.
Mayako's Perspective
I clasp the cymbals a couple more times before turning towards Naruto, who did the same. Our chuckle turned into laughter as we continue to annoy the village with the loud cymbal crashing. I then stop for a sec to admire our artwork, and the expressions people are giving us. They are annoyed, but mainly frustrated, which is exactly what we wanted. I pointed to all of them, catching Naruto's attention.
"God, look at their faces! This is PRICELESS!" I start to laugh again, this time almost dropping one of my cymbals. He then smiles, and turns back to face all the people we have upset and angered. He stretches his arms out wide, then brings them together, and smacks his cymbals hard, causing some of the citizens to block their ears.
"You got that right May! Man, this is AWESOME!" Naruto shouted to me over his cymbal's noise. This time, I smile at his laughter. He doesn't normally laugh, but it's nice when he does.
"What the absolute hell are you two idiots doing?" I voice boomed down at us, bringing me out of my daze.
"GAH!" It literally scared the day life out of me. I balanced myself, regaining control of the shock. I jerked my head up to where I heard the voice. I placed both cymbals under one of my arms as I use my other to block out the sun, which had just started to rise. I see the silhouette of someone familiar standing on top of the old man's head. I calm down, realising he wasn't really a threat. I continue to stare at him. He had his hands in his pockets as he glared at us in pure annoyance, but still kept his calm manner.
"Oh, Hey Sasuke." I say in a completely normal manner. Naruto turns his head in my direction, then returns it to Sasuke, looking at him from different angles.
"Oh, is it Sasuke, I thought it was a crow." Naruto finally exclaimed, rubbing his chin like he was the smart one here.
"Wha- I'm not a bird dobe, get your eye's checked," He says to Naruto, glaring at him.
"Then get a haircut and stop wearing black all the goddamn time!" Naruto shouts, pointing his finger directly at the Uchiha. Sasuke's left eye twitched as he jumps from his spot, and soars down Naruto's rope, his feet creating dust clouds behind him as he slides down old man's face. Before we could react, Sasuke was now staring directly at my brother's face, which was only inches away from his. He had his feet planted onto the rocky wall surface, his left hand on the rope, and his right in his pocket. He continues to stare at Naruto, who was caught off guard by the sudden movement. Sasuke's stare was firm, but calm.
"Wanna say that again, loser?" He sneered, breaking the silence. Naruto growled at him, not breaking eye contact with him either. While the two of them were in their little stare off, I decided to add a small detail to the fouth's face. I clasp the cymbals together, tying the red ribbon around it before securing it between the rope and my body. I then take out the paintbrush that was in the bucket, and scribble onto the rocky surface.
"Mayako, what are you doing…" Sasuke is looking at me now. I take a second to look in his direction.
"What, you wanna help?" I asked, smirking.
"Why the hell would I do that?"
"C'mon! Help me draw a mustache on his face!- huh?" Before I say another word, I gulp as I feel a whip of intense air rush through my body. I scrunch up my eyes as I peer upwards, now staring at the silhouette of a pretty angry looking old man, or what I would probably see if the sun hadn't blocked half my vision.
"NARUTO! MAYAKO!" He shouted brutally.
"Oops, busted…" Naruto says, rubbing the back of his head, sweatdropping. Sasuke sweatdrops with him. I, instead put a cheeky smile on my face as I wave the big brush in front of my face, specks of paint getting onto it.
"HEY OLD MAN!"
…
"Mayako, Naruto, I expect this behaviour from you, but Sasuke, I'd never imagine you'd snoop down to their level…"
"I wasn't even a part of-!" He protested, but I cut him off.
"Yeah you are, you agreed to help me paint, don't lie." I say casually, linking my hands behind my back. He grunts as he closes his eyes, opening one of them to look at me. He crossed his arms in front of his chest as well.
"I didn't agree to anything you los-" Sasuke was cut off again with the slam of a bunch of sheets that went flying across the room from the brutal force. The Old man grabbed our attention. We were all now looking at him, now seeing how pissed he was.
"BE QUIET! ALL OF YOU!" Naruto and I straightened our backs with our hands by our side. It was a habit we did whenever we heard his voice boom. Sasuke just looked in the other direction, placing his hands in his pockets. The old man then cleared his throat, returning to his almost calm state before speaking again.
"I want you three to clean up every bit of graffiti before sundown, you got that!" He shouted, obviously irritated. Naruto and I groaned annoyedly, staring to slouch, while Sasuke turns his head back towards him in frustration.
"I'm not a part of this! Why am I being punished?!" I turned my face to face the Uchiha, and stared directly at him.
"For being a jerk…" I said simply to his face. He turned his head towards me, sending me a pretty cold glare.
"Why are you being annoying… Just tell him I didn't do anything!" He's clearly annoyed now, but I don't care. It is fun seeing someone else other than Naruto and I get in trouble.
"Nah, don't feel like it." I smirk, turning my head in the opposite direction from him.
"Tsk, you little b-"
"NARUTO! MAYAKO!" Before I knew what was coming, someone punched the top of my head, making me fall onto the floor, and from the sounds of it, so did Naruto. I rubbed my head as I groaned in pain. I opened one of my eyes to look up at our sensei's face. I growl at him.
"What the hell was that for!" Naruto and I said simultaneously.
"Why did you draw all over the town like it was a CANVAS?" He roared, using matching hand signals. I blink at him before looking away from him, and back at the old man, who was being entertained by all of this. I stood up and dusted myself off, crossing my arms.
"Cause they deserved it." I said in a sneery type of tone. Naruto glances at me before directing his attention to the old man in the same manner.
"Darn right they did." He says. I hear Iruka sensei sighing behind us. He then looks at Sasuke, realising he is there with us. Both Naruto and I look over in his direction. Sasuke looks away slightly as he closes his eyes.
"These dobes have dragged me into this…" Sasuke explains, answering half of his question.
"Wait, so you helped them paint the entire Leaf village-" He was cut off by Sasuke voice, which boomed across the Old Man's office.
"I didn't do anything!" He blinks, realising he lost his calm manner.
"Tsk…" He then calms down; placing his hands back in his pockets, and turns his head to look out a nearby window to avoid the awkward moment. I glare at him with my right eye, my left one closed.
"Jerk." I snarled.
"Loser." He sneered back.
"Bastard." Naruto joins in.
"Enough of this bickering! Get out and clean this village top to bottom! Jeez, you kids are giving me a headache…" Old man says as he places his elbows on the desk, and rubs his temples. We all look at the old man before some cleaning tools are thrown at all of us by Iruka sensei, who had somehow gotten next to the old man without any of us noticing. He points towards the window, where I can see the scribbled village. Doesn't look half bad if you ask me.
"I want all that disgusting paint gone! You hear me!" He shouts before pointing his index finger to the door behind us. We all sigh before groggily turning around and walking slowly towards the door, each a bucket of soap and a sponge in our hands. As we were walking in the hallway, I peer over my shoulder, and glance directly at Sasuke, who I find is doing the same to me. We continue to stare at each other for a couple of seconds before Sasuke sneers.
"I hate you." he says blankly. I scrunch up parts of my face and smirk at the same time.
"Right back at you…"
