-Chapter Seven: Cooking for Ninja-

Two weeks had passed. In those two long weeks, Minato grueled by continuing his studies with Jiraiya and his team. Since the three boys were all injured, they were denied physical training and forced to learn about the history of Konoha, ninja, and even origins of the modern kunai. Frequent visits to the hospital grew tiring, but necessary in order to recover quickly. Minato recovered the fastest, shortly followed by Katsu the next day. Ryokumaru was annoyed being the last given an "all clear."

Katsu slowly moved into his own issues. Minato and Ryokumaru had been informed that their dark haired companion was now living with Jiraiya. The boy seemed haggard and exhausted more often, as would be expected with Jiraiya's antics.

It was a windy Monday morning when Minato's plans had finally produced a devious idea. He had been working in secret for the past week, scheming in his bedroom with the lights out until everything finally clicked. The next morning he was sure to call and persuade both of his teammates to come over his house.

It was a quarter past eight when they arrived in unison. Minato smiled and welcomed them in. Ryokumaru looked as he normally did, but Katsu's hair was unusually unkept as of late. Minato made a mental note not to say anything about it. After they turned down Minato's offer for tea, the boys sat on the couch, Minato across them. The blonde boy opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted when Sora entered the room in the full waitress outfit: earrings, short skirt, and make up. For Minato, it wasn't anything unusual. Ryokumaru on the other hand, let his mouth hang open as he gaped at her.

"Minato? You didn't tell me you were going to have friends over!" She squealed as soon as she saw them, quickly introducing herself. Katsu politely gave his name with a smile. Ryokumaru started to drool, something Sora ignored.

"You sound so surprised." Minato responded sourly.

"Well, you've never invited anyone over before." She said, making her way to the door to slip her heals on.

Minato sighed. "We actually have a mission that we'll be going to later today, and this is just a quick prep." Ryokumaru and Katsu looked clueless.

"Just make sure you don't get hurt." She took the keys off the wall where they usually hung. "Got that Minato? Be very careful."

Minato nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Have a good day at work, Sora-neechan."

She waved before leaving. Katsu turned as to question Minato. Ryokumaru just leapt at him, knocking down the shocked blue eyed boy.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOUR SISTER WAS A BABE!?" He shrieked.

"I didn't know!" Minato said defensively. "Now would you get off of me!"

Ryokumaru was panting as he took his place back on the couch. Now Katsu's mouth hung open at his friend's outburst.

"How could you not know?" He continued. "Those perfect blonde locks, bright blue eyes, creamy smooth skin!" He sighed, love struck.

Katsu, on the couch next to Ryokumaru, scooted away from the boy with the crew cut. "Ryo-san…you just described Minato-san…"

"Ryo-kun…that's just weird."

"Damn-it, you both know I was talking about his sister!"

"Let's hope so…" Minato mumbled under his breath.

"Well Minato-san," Katsu said, changing the subject and crossing his arms, "What's this mission you were talking about?"

Minato's look of bemusement from Ryokumaru's outburst was replaced by a smile. Despite the normal facial expression was to represent being happy, Minato's was darkly twisted. Katsu wondered if he could make a smile that evil himself.

"Well, I've been working on a plan—"

"Yeah." Katsu urged him on.

"—and I'll need both of your help in doing it."

"So, it isn't an actual mission or anything?" Ryokumaru asked.

"Oh no, we should treat it with the same amount of importance that we do missions."

"So what is it?" Katsu continued to push, trying to get to the point Minato was trying to make and that dark smile as well.

"It all began when I read this book…in it was written things that completely changed my world." Minato seemed dazed as he talked. "It was a collection of the most brilliant men's thoughts and…hobbies." Minato had to search for a word. "I think it's time that I made my entry, and a grand entry I intend to make."

"And you need our help?" Katsu followed.

"That's what I was hoping for."

"What's the name of the book?" Ryokumaru raised his eyebrow, his eyes always semi-closed.

"Cooking for Ninja." Minato stated plainly.

"Cooking for Ninja?" Ryokumaru seemed unimpressed.

"Are we…going to put a recipe or something into the book?" Katsu asked.

"Nope, just information."

The two boys stared at Minato.

"What is this book about." Katsu asked, suddenly doubting that "Cooking" had much to do with it.

"Well…women."

"Women?" Ryokumaru wasn't sure what was going on.

"Greatest minds…collective thoughts and hobbies…changed your world…Minato-san! It's a perverted book!" Katsu accused.

"Not just any perverted book!" Minato rose and shouted quite suddenly. "The perverted book! There is only one of its kind, and it's been written in by all of the Hokage! I want to take that book and put my entry in right next to the Hokage-sama's. Now are the two of you going to help me, or what!"

Katsu was…utterly shaken.

"This book…what sort of powers could it possibly hold that it could do this to Minato-san's mind?" Katsu wondered.

As Minato sat back down, Ryokumaru was the first to break the silence. "What would I get out of it?"

Minato's look became evil again. He took out a black box, about the size of an average book, and motioned for Ryokumaru to come closer. The boy did so, as Katsu warily eyed the box, almost frightened at what could be inside.

"If you help me with this, Ryo-kun, I'll give you the contents of this box." Minato said, opening it just a crack. Ryokumaru bent over to catch a glimpse of what was inside, and instantly jerked back, on hand on her heart that felt as if it was about to explode, the other on his nose, trying to keep the blood from pouring out. It wasn't working too well.

Minato's grin reached monstrous, proportions.

"Is that…what I think it is!?"

"Probably better. They're Sora-neechans…and I don't think she'll notice them going missing."

"She wears skimpy things like that!!" Ryokumaru was starting to hyperventilate.

Minato nodded.

The narrow-eyed boy then dropped to his knees and bowed to Minato. "I'll do whatever you want, Minato-sama!"

The blonde then turned to Katsu, who really didn't want to know what compelled Ryokumaru into such submission.

"So…Katsu-kun. Your willing to help me, right?"

"Last time we tried something like this we barely got away with our lives."

"I've already corrected any errors in my plan. This isn't a spur of the moment; I know what I'm doing. Besides, I intend to make my entry and get away without ever being caught."

"I'm sure you intend to…but how do I know that it won't happen anyways. What exactly is this plan that you have?"

"I thought you'd never ask."

Minato leaned in and told the other two boys about what he had been working on all week. The more he talked, the more excited Ryokumaru seemed to get, and the more Katsu blushed.

"Minato-san! That's evil! That's vile! That's—that's—that's unspeakable!! I could never help in something like that!"

"Katsu-kun, you're the key to getting this work, I need your cooperation in this."

Katsu waved his arm as if striking at the comment, or entire notation. "No! I won't do it!"

"You aren't the least bit curious?"

"Not at all!"

"Well…that's odd." Minato said. His dark grin turned to a sly smirk. "Most boys would be interested. Are you sure you're…even into girls?"

This time, Ryokumaru backed away from Katsu.

"Of—of course I am!" Katsu blushed madly.

Minato let the silence linger a few moments after that comment. Then he crossed his arms and put on a strait face. "Prove it." He challenged.

Katsu was torn. It was horrible…but with his pride on the line, could he really say no? Maybe he was a little curious…

Katsu stopped himself as he found whatever virus Minato had obtained from reading that book, it was starting to contaminate him. He pointed his finger at the Genin. "Minato-san, you're a bad person!" was his accusation.

The boy smiled. "Thanks, I try."

Once everyone had had a minute to calm down, Minato began to dictate the first part of their battle plans. "Okay, the first thing we need to do is get our hands on that book. Now, the problem with that is the Hokage has it. Therefore, our first mission goal is to defeat the Hokage." Minato said it so calmly.

"Are you nuts!?" Ryokumaru protested. "He's like, the strongest ninja in the village!"

"Like?" Katsu questioned. "He is the strongest ninja in the village. How do you intend on defeating a Hokage, Minato-san." Katsu said with a laugh.

Minato shrugged. "Are you kidding? We're three badass 12 year-olds. Taking down the Hokage'll be a piece of cake" Minato said it so nonchalantly, that the other two actually believed for a moment that it could work.

"What do we need to do?" Katsu said, still somewhat skeptical.

"Do you remember how you got onto team Ronin?"

Katsu paused while he thought back. Then it hit him, and his face went white and his eyes wide. "No." He said flat out. "I won't do it."

Minato scratched the back of his head. "It's that or I have to try out my Tentacle Monster Attack Technique…"

Katsu almost screamed as Ryokumaru started rolling on the floor with laughter. Minato didn't seem like he was kidding.

"Okay I'll do it!!"

Minato patted him on the shoulder. "I figured you'd see it my way. Now we should get going—" he motioned towards the black box, "—before those get dry."

"WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME SO, MINATO!" Ryokumaru shouted, tears starting in his eyes.

-Hokage Tower-

Sarutobi was having a very good day. In fact, he was having such a good day, that he was even considering taking the entire day off.

The Hokage wasn't sure what happened to his luck after that. All he knew was that his door swung open, and he turned up to look. That's where he made the mistake. In front of him was a most beautiful woman, with long legs and flowing deep black hair. She was accompanied by dark, naughty looking eyes, and a rather large pair of breasts.

It's what she wore that really hit the top. Held around her thin waist was a black leather corset, the tight fabric pressing her breasts close together and high. Just a little bit below were the oh-so-small thong, and then her leather stockings that ended in long, high-heeled boots, held up by the straps on her garter-belt. Even her arms were encased in matching leather gloves.

There was no defense.

The woman seductively walked across the room while Sarutobi stared helplessly. He couldn't speak, he couldn't do anything, and she had a really pleasing smile too. Unfortunately the Hokage didn't look below the neck. She leaned forward once she got to his desk, and gave the old man a strong kiss, strait at the lips.

Knock out.

With that the Hokage's nose exploded with blood, spraying his papers. He fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Katsu put her hands on her hips and looked proudly at the Hokage she had just defeated. There were a million things completely demented about the situation, but it was best for the mind not to dwell on them.

She turned and saw something which was instantly a problem. Two older ninja were in the door way looking in, both stunned. All they saw was the Hokage lying on the floor in a pool of blood, not even paying attention to Katsu. Their eyes went wide as they started to run down the hall. Katsu's heart stopped as she knew that she was busted. One of the Jonin started to yell "assassin" but was interrupted.

"Tentacle-Monster Attack Technique!"

This time Katsu couldn't move. It was clearly Minato that had called out the jutsu. Her mind was quickly drowned with the screams of the two. It was a horrible cry for help, as if they'd seen a—well, a tentacle-monster.

"It stings!" Was all she heard before their screams were replaced with a sort of choking sound. Katsu wondered how no one seemed to hear any of this. Maybe no one else could hear it. Maybe no one else could accept that they could hear it. Whatever it was, Minato came around the corner a few minutes later, transformed into a Jonin guard. Ryokumaru followed a few minutes later, sweat obviously around his forehead. With a puff of smoke, Minato was back to his normal/twisted self. He saw the body of the Hokage on the floor.

"Good job, Katsuko-chan."

"Do not call me that!" She said in a high pitch girly tone. It wasn't really that bad, though, since she was a girl.

Ryokumaru grinned evilly at her, going to close the door.

"Wow, I think you might have killed him, Katsuko-chan." Minato said, looking closer at the Hokage.

"He is pretty damn sexy…" Ryokumaru added with a shrug, also looking closer at the Hokage.

"Neither of you are helping! How much longer do I have to keep this henge up anyways!" She howled.

Minato thought. "Well…probably the rest of the day if you can maintain it, though, if you could do it permanently, that'd be good too, Katsuko-chan. I'd rather like to see a girl on Team Ronin."

"But…he looks like he's 18." Ryokumaru said.

"That's just right in my opinion." Minato said, taking a close look at Katsu—ko, the same way an artist would admire one of his drawings. "He fit into Sora-neechan's clothes perfectly too."

"I bet Sora-chan'd look better in it though." Ryokumaru said, now starting to drool.

"Who knows…I may have future work for you." Minato fed Ryokumaru's imagination, the boy now beyond "starting" to drool.

"Are you positive that these actually belonged to Sora-san?" Katsuko questioned, looking into more detail at what she was wearing.

-Flashback-

Minato had to keep a straight face as the woman at the counter of the lingerie store gave him a horrible look, the same way you'd look at the devil if he was a five foot nothing blonde boy with blue eyes and an eerie smile.

-End Flashback-

"Of course" Minato answered. He'd be insulted if he wasn't at least a gold medal liar.

"So what about the bodies in the hallway?" Katsuko asked while impatiently tapping her foot. She promised to herself that one of these days she'd kill Minato. Definitely. He'd fast talked her so well that she wasn't even sure why we was still doing this.

"Those two won't wake up for quite some time. After they do, they might be a little insane…and anyone who sees them in the state that I left them in is likely to pass out."

"You're an evil little bastard, y'know." Katsuko said with a sneer.

Minato smiled. "Thanks. Now, for the next part of our plan. Katsuko-chan and I are going to have to move without you, Ryo-kun, so stay here and become Hokage."

"What! Become Hokage! That's insane!! I'd have to be the strongest ninja in the village and—"

"—I meant henge into him…" Minato sighed after cutting him off.

"Oh."

Ryokumaru quickly poofed into a replica of the Hokage and stuffed the body in a closet. The three quickly cleaned, or rather disposed off, the tell-tale papers on his desk.

"Right… you need to pass a law for us, Ryo-sama." Minato said with a glint in his eye at the boy-turned-old man. Ryokumaru got out a piece of paper and one of the Hokage's fountain pens, and started writing as Minato told him what to put down. After he was done, Minato took the paper and grinned, quickly doing his own henge into another Jonin.

The fake-Hokage stayed behind as Katsuko and Minato began their way out. "Now," the blonde continued with the plan, "we need to get you a nurse's outfit…" He eyed the girl as if envisioning it on her. Katsuko felt cold inside.

-Masami-

The girl was in the waiting room at the hospital. She dressed as she normally did, but now sported long sleeves since it was nearing winter. Sitting next to her was her best friend and teammate, Hyuuga Hiroko.

The other girl's hair was dark, but had a blue-ish tint to it. Unlike Masami, her hair was short, cut almost like a boy's. She wore guy's cargo pants with average sneakers and a plain blue hoodie that matched her eyes. Though she was sitting down and it couldn't be seen, Masami knew that the words "I can still see you" were on the back of it. To further contrast things, Masami's eyes were dark, while the Hyuuga girl's were white with no pupil at all.

The two dressed completely opposite, and at first, had been arch rivals. However, that seemed to slowly diminish over the years, and somewhere along the line, they became friends. It actually shocked both of them, but they learned to live with it.

"So isn't your Uchiha Autumn Festival today, Masami?" Hiroko asked, giving a slight yawn. Masami could tell the girl was nervous at being in the hospital. There were plenty other kunoichi there as well. It was a peculiar reason that they had to show up as well.

Masami shook her head. "No, it is tomorrow. I still have to look for a date as well…" Masami sighed.

"Why…don't you go and ask Nemar-kun?" Hiroko teased.

Masami started to blush and turned away, crossing her arms. "You know what he'd say!"

Hiroko shrugged. "Well, it's about time you learned that. You've only been asking him out to those stupid festivals for years now…and how many times has he said yes? I lost track." She said sarcastically.

The Uchiha turned to look at her friend again. While Masami sat straight up nicely, Hiroko somewhat slouched and kept her legs wide open, sitting completely like a guy would. "You're such a tom-boy, did you know that?"

The Hyuuga chuckled. "You're just mad 'cause he won't ever go on a date with you. Face it, Nemar-kun is just out of your league."

"Nemar-kun is just shy!" Masami said defensively.

Hiroko shrugged again. "Whatever. Hey, have you wondered about why we're here?"

"We're here because the respected Hokage-sama ordered all available kunoichi for a physical examination today."

Hiroko rolled her eyes. "Physical examination,' yeah right. Something here isn't like it should be…" She glanced over at the nurse who signed them in.

"Something just isn't right about that girl. She's so…sexy I guess. I mean, just look at her, dark hair, dark eyes, long legs—"

"I have all of those…" Masami grumbled.

"—ample cleavage…"

The Uchiha crossed her arms again, looking more annoyed.

"…maybe that's why Nemar-kun doesn't like you." Hiroko continued to bother her.

"Breast size has nothing to do with a woman's worth!" Masami boldly stated. "Any decent and good man will easily see the woman inside and value her for that!"

"So what you're trying to say is…Nemar-kun doesn't like who you are inside? That or he doesn't fall under the category of 'decent and good man."

Masami's mood was completely ruined. "Oh just shut it."

-Jiraiya-

The white haired man was lounging very peacefully on the couch when Kaori barged into the house. Once she found him in the living room she took a seat on the far side of the couch and let him have a minute of silence before she decided to start talking.

"Hey, just coming by to make sure you remembered our date tomorrow. Also, I'm going to dress you to make sure you do it right."

Jiraiya decided not to argue with that one. While nibbling at the inside of his mouth, he gave her a question. "Why aren't you at the hospital for those kunoichi check ups. I saw them posted all over town."

"Ehh, I don't know, something just really smelled fishy about the whole thing." She shrugged.

"It's a gynecology appointment, of course it smells fishy."

There was a long pause.

The next thing Jiraiya knew was that Kaori was towering over him like a grim reaper. A very sexy grim reaper, but still a grim reaper. She was obviously not pleased by his comment.

"Any last words?" She asked darkly.

"I blame the Y-Chromosome…"

-Konohagakure Hospital-

It was a simple procedure really. It had taken him no time at all to spread the copies of the faux-Hokage statement all over town. After that he and Katsuko simply mugged the first female nurse and female doctor they saw. After stealing their clothes and stuffing them away to sleep peacefully, Katsuko handled the formal parts at the front desk, and Minato had to pretend to be the doctor. That part was easy. The part that wasn't easy was keeping himself calm and composed, as well as acting like a woman. He wasn't sure how Katsu managed Katsuko so well…but it was weird for Minato.

Unfortunately, Minato drew some unwanted attention. When henged into a woman, he looked a lot like an older version of his sister, he observed, who happen to look a lot like his mother, who happened to be an actress. Minato had at least ten people ask if they've seen him before. In addition high heels were a pain. Minato fell flat on his face every few steps, something a seemingly thirty-odd year old woman shouldn't be doing.

Lastly, he had to itch at himself in a private area quite often when no one was looking. The undergarments that he stole off the doctor, which he didn't feel the least ashamed about doing, were tight, and he did not understand how women could stand it. He discovered there that he had an absolute love for boxers.

Examining the girls wasn't too bad. Katsuko had talked Minato out of hidden cameras as the last minute, so now Minato merely did trivial stuff like weight, height, heart rate, reflexes, vision, ect. He scribbled down all of these quickly, and only really paid attention to the things that he was going to record in the book. Name, chest size, and—err—natural hair color.

At first he got a lot of strange looks, as if he was doing something out of order. Then he learned that he had to make idle conversation. After the first dozen or so patients, Minato had mastered the skill of being a doctor. In fact, he was so good, that no one even had the slightest hint that he wasn't who he said he was. This could possibly be due to the fact that he read every medical book he could check out at the library during his week of planning. He wanted to make sure he could take up the role without error. So far, it worked.

The patient that Minato just finished with left, and he quickly scribbled down some things in the perv-book before hiding it and asking for his next patient. The older blonde woman who Minato currently was gulped as Uchiha Masami entered the room. Maybe some of the slight panic he was feeling towards the girl who had kicked his ass on his first mission was showing, because, she eyed him oddly. He had on tested her reflexes when he made his grave mistake in his master plan.

He gave her a vision test.

At first, she read the letters on the wall like any normal person would, but then looked at the picture next to them. They were just blots and dots and squiggles all over a card, and Minato had thought they were to test being color blind. He realized that he was completely wrong. It was a Sharingan accuracy test, designed to see how well the strange designs could be inprinted in the Sharingan-user's brain. Maybe Minato hadn't known what it was since Uchiha are only in Konoha, which is the only place a test like this would be found, thus not making it into the medical books Minato had so desperately studied. She glanced at the test once her Sharingan, and then took a quick look at him. She seemed to double-take, and her red eyes went wide. Minato immediately saw his mistake. Her Sharingan had seen through his ninjutsu.

She screamed.

The next thing he knew there was another girl at the door, a girl with blue hair and white eyes. She looked at Minato, and some sort of understanding seemed to go by both girls without a word. The next thing he knew, Minato was breaking out of the window, ending his henge, and grasping the book in his hands tightly. He started to run down the streets, but the tom-boy-ish girl yelled out the window. "That's not a doctor, it's just some boy!!"

Minato froze. He was more or less surrounded by patients that were on their way out.

"Uhh…you're all healthy?"

The twelve year old boy wasn't sure what happened next, besides his life flashing before his eyes.

-Ryokumaru-

The henge-Hokage sat at his desk, eyes red and mind aggravated. Tsunade, a blonde medical ninja who just got back from the hospital, sat in front of him. Apparently she was one of the Hokage's old students. Apparently she liked to come and talk about her life and other assorted tidbits. Apparently…it was taking hours, and he was expected to just sit and listen. He was so delirious that he didn't even notice the angry mob outside the tower until they had already entered it and smashed into his office. They all consisted of kunoich, and dropped down a boy in the middle of the room. They looked…really pissed.

Ryokumaru didn't even recognize the boy as Minato at first. He looked like…a bruise. Literally. His arms were limp and Ryokumaru didn't see much of his normal colored skin. Ryokumaru was about to think of something to say to get him out of this mess, but that didn't work out.

When the angry ninja mob burst his door open, they also rocked the room. When that happened, the half-naked body of the real Hokage feel from it's location in the closet. The fall seemed to rouse the old man. The mob, which was spilled out into the halls outside as well, and Tsunade all turned to look at Ryokumaru at the same time. There was a really, really painful silence.

"You mean…I just told my life secrets to…" Tsunade said slowly, looking at Ryokumaru.

There was a puff of smoke, and he was just a boy in an oversized Hokage outfit.

"Um…hi?"

-Katsu-

Even though the shape was merely a henge, Katsu slowly felt that he wasn't really alone. He had the sudden urge to go shopping, and he loved it. He bough outfit after outfit, shoe after shoe, and things that, should he have been a boy, wouldn't have known the purpose for. It was almost as if something deep inside of him was drawn up, and was acting on its own accord. He sure did maintain the jutsu for a long time.

Most curiously, when the Sharingan wielding girl examined him, black wheels spinning in her eyes, she disregarded him, though Minato was caught. It felt like he was just watching his body shop, buying a…well, Katsu didn't know what was in the box. He was fairly sure that he didn't want to know.

The longer it went on, the less Katsu seemed to have to do, and the more he became like a spectator. Even though something had seemingly pushed him to the far regions of his mind, Katsu didn't care much. He had a lot of stress lately, and it was a strangely peaceful feeling.

Meanwhile, whatever was sharing a body with Katsu was getting ready to take up extended residence.

-Hokage Tower-

Both boys were savagely beaten by the time the Hokage had managed to push the mob out of his office and duct tape his door back to the wall. He couldn't get out of his room, but it let everyone else know that he didn't want to be disturbed.

Sarutobi had finished putting on his clothes again. The Hokage found out from the boys what had happened, and ordered them to give him the book. Though these two boys were found out, he wasn't sure what happened to the raven-haired vixen. He just kept that quiet though.

"So…let me get this strait. First you attacked two of my guards, injured them in ways that I really don't want to think about, then masqueraded as me and a doctor, did physical examinations on almost a quarter of Konoha's women, and recorded several…interesting facts in Cooking for Ninja."

Ryokumaru and Minato both looked at each other and answered together. "Yup."

Sarutobi slowly opened the book, skipping past the Shodai, Nidaime, and his own entries, to where young Minato had made his. It was quite large, and…impressive.

The Hokage's eyes suddenly shot open and he turned red. "That's Tsunade's natural hair color!!"

The two boys then laughed at the Hokage who cleared his throat and placed the book back in his desk where it belonged. It's a good thing that the mob didn't notice it…or else he might have to be explaining himself.

"Well, I have a huge amount of people who want me to kill the two of you by fire."

The boys looked frightened.

"However…in light of other circumstances, I have a different punishment." Sarutobi grinned evilly.

"You mean…in light of the fact that you like my work!" Minato accused.

The Hokage cleared his throat again. "Err, like I was saying. Instead of being put to the death…the two of you must—"

Sweat started to form on both of their faces.

"—carve my face into that cliff." The Hokage said crossing his arms.

The two boys sweat dropped and looked out the window. The faces of the Shodai and Nidaime were clearly depicted…

"Are you kidding? Do you know how long that would take!!" Ryokumaru pleaded.

Sarutobi shrugged. "I could just turn you over to the women…"

"We'll do it!" Minato quickly interrupted his friend who was about to protest.

"Actually..." Ryokumaru interupted. "I choose death by fire."

Minato gave him a piercing glare. Ryokumaru succumbed to Minato's silent beckoning. "Oh fine, I'll do it."

They quickly untapped Sarutobi's door and left to get a head start.

The Hokage relaxed in his seat.

"That boy…Namikaze Minato. I haven't seen something like that pulled since I was making my own entry into Cooking for Ninja. I wonder…"
