As he finished running, he trotted, panting, up to Naruto. He took a couple of deep breaths, and then fell backwards onto the firm earth.

"Hey…Naruto?"

"Yeah,"

"Where did…you get…all that stuff…about being a true ninja?" Naruto chuckled.

"Before becoming a genin, I had to go through the ninja academy. While I was there, I was taught by a man named Iruka sensei." Naruto paused for a moment, and Danny saw a strange gleam in his eye. But as soon as it appeared, it vanished and Naruto continued. "He was really hard on me, but by the time I graduated I learned that he was only doing it because he cared about me and wanted me to do really well. He's an orphan, just like me."

"Wait a second, you don't have any parents?"

"Well, duh, how else do you think that I've been living in my own place?"

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense…" Danny replied as they left the academy and began walking back towards Naruto's house.

They passed in front of a large, wooden fence, but neither of them paid much attention to it. After they passed a fence, they heard footsteps. Both of them spun around and found themselves face-to-face with a boy who looked no older than six. He had brown hair that was covered by an odd gray helmet, and he was wearing a yellow shirt accompanied by a blue cape that was too big for him-the end of it dragged along the ground for several feet. He was holding what appeared to be a piece of cloth that was the exact same color as the fence that he had obviously just been hiding behind.

"Hey, boss!" He exclaimed, and then looked at Danny. "Who's your friend?"

"Oh, hey, Konohamaru," Naruto replied, sounding bored. "This is my friend, Danny. Danny, this is Konohamaru."

"Uh…hi."

"So what's he doing with you?"

"I'm training him to be a ninja."

"What? But he has to be, like, fourteen or something! Why are they letting you train someone older than you?" Naruto's face contorted into a large grin.

"Because that's how awesome a ninja I am!" He replied happily.

"Honorable grandson!" A fourth voice called. Just then, a man appeared out of thin air. He was wearing all black clothing, a black bandana covered his hair, and he had on black sunglasses. "What are you doing? We need to get back to training!"

"But…I wanna stay with Naruto…" Konohamaru whined.

"That boy," the man spat out the word in a manner that told Danny that he and Naruto weren't exactly on the best terms, "won't put you on the fast track to becoming the hokage. I, on the other hand, am an elite ninja, as you well know. Now come along." He grabbed Konohamaru's upper arm and the two of them vanished.

"Er…who is that guy?" Naruto snorted.

"Oh, don't mind him. He's just a closet pervert." Danny gave him an odd look.

"Okee…and why did he call Konohamaru 'honorable grandson' just now?"

"Because his grandfather is the hokage."

"WHAT?" Danny was completely taken aback. That snot-nose, the grandson of the Village's most powerful ninja? He couldn't believe it. It took him a couple of seconds before he was finally able to continue the conversation.

"So how do you know them? That other guy seemed to not like you a whole lot."

"Well, I ran into Konohamaru one day and when I found out that he was training to be a ninja, I taught him how to do my sexy jutsu and he wanted me to be his sensei. A little while later, his real sensei, that other guy, approached us and tried to take Konohamaru back under his tutelage. Only problem was, Konohamaru didn't want to go. So I challenged the sensei and used my sexy jutsu. He got completely blown away by it, and totally fainted. That's why he's a closet pervert." Danny burst out laughing.

"That explains a lot," He said once he recovered. They reached Naruto's place, and entered his room.

"Whoo, I'm exhausted from all that running," Danny said as he collapsed on the bed. Unfortunately for the poor halfa, before he could register what had happened, the huge leather belt was once again around his ankles.

"Oh, you've gotta be kidding me," he moaned.

"Nope, not kidding," Naruto replied smugly. And so the two of them resumed their workout.

Yeah, I know this one was short. And I also know it was late. I hate having to feed you the same excuse as every other writer, but school sucks! Senior year is supposed to be a breeze, but I'm taking a tough courseload so I still have to work hard. And it doesn't help that I'm taking an SAT II again this October. In other words, updates will be very few and far between for the next who-knows-how-long. But I'll try and hammer something out in my spare time! Promise!

In other news, I tried to start a ghost hunting club at my school today, but my dean won't let me. Go figure.
