LC; We're back with more shinobi rules!

Naruto; Oh joy.

Sasuke; I can barely contain my excitement.

LC; This time from Shikamaru's POV!

Naruto; Wow this is great news!

Sasuke; I still think this is a waste of time.

LC; Silence slave! Now either do hot yaoi sex with Naruto or leave Author Space.

Sasuke; Not a hard choice.

LC; *Uses millenium pencil to write his next actions*

Sasuke; *Rapes Naruto*

LC; It's good to be pharoah.

Disclaimer; I do not own Naruto or YUGIOH! I am merely using them for comedic relief.

Chapter 3; Logical Rules, The idiocy behind them.

Rule #24: A shinobi must be able to kill without hesitation.

Shikamaru had been the last of the rookies to have his first kill. He only got his from Hidan, and technically he's not dead.
He was told he shouldn't feel bad about taking a life, that it's all a part of the job, in the academy. However he knew what happened to the people who took this rule to heart.

He didn't want to end up heartless, even though he knew it was a possibility for everyone. Yes, they can all kill without hesitation, but it's what they do after that makes or breaks them.
The first kill, no matter who you are, it shook you up. It was only when you got to the 50th and you realize it doesn't hurt anymore, that it goes bad.

Rule #41: A shinobi will never betray their village.

He sometimes wondered, as he looked up at the clouds, if any of the missing nin knew about this rule. Or did they just ignore it?
Contrary to popular belief, he didn't gaze at the clouds to laze, he did it to think. This was the sort of things he thought about.

Rule #71: A shinobi is only as good as their arsenal.

Sometimes he wondered if the one who made this rule had anything specific in mind. Did they mean weapons, jutsu, or taijutsu moves? It needed a little specification.

Shikamaru sighed and rolled over on the soft grass, his eyes closed. Some of these rules were unspecific, leaving room for people to bend them.
He understood the council couldn't cover every base, but they could at least cover the major ones.

Rule #43: A shinobi will report to the hospital every six months for a physical.

He'd actually laughed when he came across this rule in the handbook, exactly six months after becoming a genin.
It was a well known fact all shinobi hated hospitals. Many preferred dealing with the pain of their wounds rather than the doctors and nurses and white rooms.

In fact, he'd be shocked to find someone who had been a shinobi for an entire year who went to his physicals.

Rule #20: A shinobi of chunin and above must have a mental evaluation every year.

This was worse than the rule about the physicals. No one, not even a civilian, wanted to spend the whole day talking to a shrink about their jobs.
None of them wanted to just lay on that weird couch thing and answer questions like 'How have you been feeling' all day. It was annoying, embarassing, and frankly disturbing.

Who gave those shinobi shrinks their lisence anyway?

Rule #80: A shinobi must fill out a mission report after every mission and turn it in to the administration office.

Why did they have to fill the troublesome things out right after getting back? After most missions, a shinobi is exhausted and wants to sleep.
They do not want to spend a good hour just filling out a stupid sheet of paper about every little troublesome detail of their mission.

That is why many did not turn in the report until the next day! So they could get a little untroublesome sleep!

Shikamaru above all others, hated this rule. He hated more the fact his teammates always snuck off when they got back, leaving him with the job.
It was more than just troublesome.

END OF THE CHAPTER! NOW SOMEONE GIVE ME IDEAS FOR MORE RULES!

LC; I'm running out of rule ideas pretty quickly.

Naruto; So therefore she has decided to ask the readers for their take on it!

Sasuke; Please do NOT send anything in.

Naruto; Yeah, we want this torment to end!

LC; Quiet slaves!
