" . . . and that's how I 'occupied' Lee for you, sensei!" Konohamaru finished his story, grinning up at Naruto once he'd finished his mission report.

Naruto gave the boy an approving look. "Wow, I didn't expect you to do so well, Konohamaru. But I'm glad to say you exceeded my expectations again!" He gave the boy a friendly pat on the back. "Thanks to you I had a good time with Sakura-chan yesterday while fuzzy brow was getting his butt paddled."

Not only that, but the story about Lee parading around in his skimpy underwear and then getting spanked was already spreading through the village like wildfire. Lee would have trouble showing his face in public for a while after this, giving Naruto even more opportunities to spend time with the girl of his dreams.

"I think you're ready for your next assignment." Naruto pulled out a picture from his bag and showed it to Konohamaru, "You know Shino right? Well, recently he has been getting a lot of attention for being cool or whatever. I think you need to adjust his public image." His grin turned fox-like.

Konohamaru grinned back and took the photo to look at it. "Oh yeah. I think I know this guy. He uses bugs, right? That actually is kind of cool." While many villagers were creeped out by the Aburame clan's use of insects in their jutsus, Konohamaru liked gross things so he didn't have a problem with it. When he saw that Naruto's expressions had changed to a frown at his words though, he quickly realized he'd made a mistake.

"What was that?!" Naruto huffed as he lifted the smaller boy into the air by the back of his briefs.

"I mean-that's not cool at all! Owww! What a total dork!" Konohamaru whined as his legs kicked beneath him and his underwear lodged deep into his crack.

Naruto's expression changed to a smile once Konohamaru changed his tune. "That's better..."

"Oooh . . . " Konohamaru groaned as he was let down and he picked at his wedgie. "Don't worry, I'll take care of him for ya. Anything in particular you want done?"

"Nah, I don't care what you do as long as it's public and humiliating. Bonus points for creativity." Naruto wanted to see what Konohamaru could do with a more careful opponent. "I expect big things from you little guy,"

"Hmmm . . . Okay boss! I mean-Sensei! You can count on me!" Konohamaru told him. While he didn't have a plan in mind for dealing with the serious bug-nin yet, he was confident he could come up with something.

That night, Konohamaru snuck into his grandfather's old stash of scrolls and secret jutsus. It wasn't permitted for anyone below jounin rank to look at them, but Konohamaru knew he would need something especially effective against the Aburame clan if he was going to have a chance, and he hoped that there would be something in the collection to help him.

What he found was even better than he'd been hoping for. Apparently back during the first days of the village, the Aburame had threatened to revolt over some trifling matter, and the First Hokage himself had developed a technique to make them think twice about it. Konohamaru's grin just turned wider as he read it over. Perfect!

The next day, Konohamaru put together everything he should need, then went out looking for the mysterious bug-nin. "I wonder where are some places Shino likes to hang out?" he said to himself, not really knowing much about his target.

To answer the question, at that moment Shino was reading under a tree. The bug ninja was enjoying the quiet tranquility of the public park which was mostly empty at this time of the day. He would be moving soon however since it was about to get more crowded in the coming hour and he had to meet up with Kiba for a training exercise. He had a small host of bugs out patrolling the area just in case there was a hostile threat but he doubted they would be of much use here in the village.

Konohamaru systematically swept all the public areas of the village, and finally spotted the bug-nin under a tree in a park. The young ninja grinned to himself, as it looked like Shino was absorbed in reading some boring book and so wouldn't be on the lookout for pranks. The jutsu he'd learned needed to be used at close range, so he'd have to get in close before activating it.

Retrieving a special camouflage cape from his pack, Konohamaru spread it over himself like a blanket and set it to resemble wild green grass so that he'd be less easily spotted. He then began sneaking towards Shino as stealthily as he could, approaching from the bug-nin's back so there was no way that Shino would spot him. Unfortunately, Konohamaru hadn't fully researched Shino's abilities and so didn't know about the bugs which would tip his presence off.

Shino looked up from his book when one of his bugs came flying toward him, "Hmmmm someone is here..." He stood up and turned to see Konohamaru very poorly disguised, "Can I help you Konohamaru-kun? Is there a reason you are sneaking around like that?" He asked straight forward, not the kind of guy to mince words. He didn't find the boy to be a threat so his guard was down.

C-Crap! How'd he spot me? My disguise was fool-proof! Konohamaru wondered in surprise. He jerked to a stop, then straightened up, abandoning his disguise. "Sneaking? Who's sneaking?" he asked with a nervous little laugh. He looked between them to judge the distance he still had to go. Just a few more feet . . . Konohamaru just had to keep Shino off-guard while he covered them.

"Hey . . . Shino, right? There's something I've always wanted to ask you," Konohamaru said, masking his voice so he appeared totally innocent. "Why do you always wear such heavy clothes? It's a beautiful spring day! You should at least take your jacket off to enjoy it."

Shino raised an eyebrow, he had never been asked that question before, more people were kinda scared by him. If he was being honest it was because he was a very modest person but he didn't like sharing that information so he just lied. "I hide most of my ninja tools here also it allows me to cover where my bugs exit and enter my body," he explained calmly, still wondering why Konohamaru was here.

"Ahhh, I gotcha," Konohamaru said as he seemed to absorb that information. "So it's like a tactical thing. Don't you ever relax?" As they'd been speaking, Konohamaru had been slowly walking closer. He subtly looked around as he did so. Not many people were in the park yet, and no one was looking their way. That might change soon though. Finally, he judged he was within optimum distance.

He suddenly formed several difficult hand-signs and then threw his hands out in the shape of a seal. "Hikichigiru konchu no jutsu!" Waves of glowing energy radiated out from him, centering on Shino's body. The effect it would have was simple. The bugs inside Shino would stop responding to his commands, and instead follow only one directive-to feed on the nearest inorganic matter.

In short, they'd devour all of Shino's clothes.

The process wasn't instantaneous though. It would take a couple minutes for the bugs to do their thing, and since Konohamaru had now given himself away he quickly turned tail and fled before Shino could realize what was happening.

Shino was surprised by the jutsu, but he looked at himself and didn't notice any changes right away. He did however see Konohamaru running away quickly. "I dont know what you did but you won't get away that easy." Shino ran after him, not noticing his bugs slowly eating away at his clothing. "Come back here and stop running!" The further he went the more the bugs ate, and after a minute most of his clothes were starting to show big holes.

As soon as his coat started to disappear Shino started to catch on. "Wh...why wont they stop?!" He tried to command his bugs but they wouldn't listen and soon his coat was completely eaten as were his pants. He was left only in an undershirt and purple boxers with spiders on them, but then those too started to get eaten. "NO! Stop them!" Sadly for the ninja it was too late to do anything and the last of his clothing vanished leaving him naked as the day he was born, forced to cover his privates with his hands.

"Heheheh!" Konohamaru snickered as he looked behind him and saw that Shino had stopped chasing him and was now looking flustered and extremely embarrassed. It served him right for trying to one-up the boss! The best part about it was that the jutsu was set to work for a full 24 hours, so even if Shino managed to find something else to wear in that time his bugs would just eat through those too.

Konohamaru didn't want Shino running off anywhere though before he was properly seen, so the boy quickly changed direction and zipped in behind him with another hand-sign. Taking some specially prepared rope out of his pack that was coated with a substance so that the bugs wouldn't eat it, Konohamaru grabbed Shino's wrists and tied them behind his back so that he couldn't even cover himself.

"Gotcha now!" Konohamaru beamed at the blushing bug-nin. Poor Shino, he didn't even have his glasses to hide behind anymore. "Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way. It's up to you."

Shino was caught off guard with his hands were tied behind his back, leaving him completely exposed in the front. "K...Konohamaru you must release me and this jutsu! Please." He wasn't used to begging but he was desperate to escape this very humiliating situation. He felt a draft all over himself, and he was in an area that would soon be very crowded. "W...what is the hard way?"

Konohamaru smirked as he also tied Shino's ankles together with a particularly long piece of rope, and then threw the remaining length over a tree branch. Pulling down on the end of it, he raised Shino up so he hung upside down. "The hard way is I leave you like this all day long so everybody can get a good look at you! The easy way is, you be a good boy and don't struggle too much, and I let you down in an hour or two so you can hide the rest of the time somewhere 'til the jutsu wears off." He took a stake out of his pack and hammered it into the rope so that Shino would remain suspended and stepped back to admire his work.

The boy smirked up at the bug-nin. "Heheh, just like a naked piñata! Oh and by the way, I've set it so that anyone who tries to free you will have your bugs turn on them so they'll lose their clothes too. Playing with or teasing you is perfectly okay though."

Shino turned bright red, "Y..you can't leave me here like this! Konohamaru don't be ridiculous! You have to stop." He tried to ignore the boy's last line about 'teasing'. He had never been naked in front of anyone other than his parents when he was a baby. The blood was quickly rushing to his head adding to his blush, making him dizzy. "This prank has gone on way too long..."

"Heheh, sorry Shino! I'm under explicit instructions to embarrass the heck out of you, and I can't think of a better way to do it than this." Konohamaru tugged on the rope a couple times, making Shino bob up and down. It was a lie, of course-Konohamaru wasn't sorry at all. He loved humiliating the other ninja of the village. The harder they blushed, the happier he was.

"But don't worry! As long as you don't struggle too much up there or do anything else unwise, this'll all be over in a couple hours," he assured. Konohamaru then looked around for a good place to hide and chose a distant bush. Close enough that he could keep an eye on the action, but far enough that no one would spot him from where Shino hung. The boy settled down to see who would be the first to come by and check out the park's newest attraction.

Shino couldn't believe he was hanging upside down naked from a tree. His dignity had disappeared along with his clothes and now anyone walking by might notice him and see his shame. He shivered at the thought of being seen like this, what would people think? He tried to keep absolutely still in the hopes he could avoid attracting any attention.

After some time had passed however, a small crowd of boys gathered beneath him, some pointing fingers at his nudity and laughing, and other trying to jump up and play with the "piñata". A few more devilish ones gathered some long pieces of grass and started tickling the embarrassed bug-nin, though it was ineffective as Shino thankfully wasn't very ticklish. It didn't stop them from continuing to try however, and also find other ways to torment him.

"Where'd he come from?"

"I dunno! I just looked over and he was swinging around nekkid!"

"Look at his wee-wee!"

"I've never seen one hang upside down like that! You can even see his balls!"

"Hahahah! This is awesome!"

Sometime later, the buzz and laughter of a bunch of kids was enough to draw the attention of Inuzuka Kiba, who was out on a search for his teammate since he hadn't made it to their training session. It looked like they were gathered around a tree, trying to get something in one of the branches. Figuring that one of their kites must have gotten stuck, Kiba went around the tree to help.

When he saw the object of his search suspended there instead however, naked as a baby and red in the face, Kiba almost couldn't hold back his own laughter. "Dude! Shino, man, what're you doing up there? We were supposed to meet for training an hour ago!"

The dog-nin tried not to laugh, but this was almost too funny. It was rare anyone got the better of his stoic teammate.

Shino had endured all the teasing of the children with silence, trying to maintain even a shred of dignity. He did wish the rope would snap so he could fall in some ditch and stay there for a few thousand years. Why did they have to talk about his... privates in such a away? They didn't even try to help him, though he knew it would end badly if they did. He just endured it all . . . until Kiba came.

Upon hearing his friend's voice, Shino's eyes shot open and his face returned to a bright red. No, of all people he didn't want to see him like this, Kiba had to be number one. "W..what does it look like!" He was too embarrassed to say Konohamaru had gotten the better of him. He would never live it down if people found out the young boy had done this to him.

Kiba just shook his head with a smirk. "Should I even ask? Oh well, just sit tight. I'll get you loose in a jiffy."

The dog-nin shimmied up the rope, a kunai in his teeth to use when he reached the top. He couldn't help but check out the view on the way up, snickering somewhat at Shino's body. Hey, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here. Shino was so ridiculously modest. Even the couple times they'd visited a hotspring together, Kiba had never seen him naked. He would definitely be teasing him for this for some time.

Reaching the point where the rope looped over the branch, Kiba retrieved the kunai and made ready to cut through it.

"Kiba-wait!" Shino shouted just in time as he remembered the conditions of Konohamaru's jutsu. He wriggled a bit in his bondage as he tried to make his voice commanding. "Don't try to get me loose!"

Kiba looked at his teammate like he was crazy. "What're you talking about? Don't tell me you wanna stay like this..." Kiba touched his kunai to the ropes holding Shino's ankles.

The second his kunai made contact however it started to get eaten away. First the blade disappeared under the black specks, and then the hilt, leaving the confused Kiba holding nothing. Next thing he knew, he found holes appearing on his jacket.

"What the-! Are these your bugs? Get 'em off me, man!" Kiba yelled, hopping down to the ground. He threw his jacket off, hoping to rid himself of them that way, but they'd already traveled to his mesh undershirt as well. Very soon he was shirtless as the fabric got eaten through . . . then pantsless . . . and then finally totally naked. "GAH!"

Instantly he was surrounded by the same boys who'd been having fun with Shino. Here was a flustered ninja in much easier reach however. They didn't understand why it had happened, they were just delighted that here was another embarrassed guy to play with. They quickly started slapping at Kiba's bare butt and poking him all over, laughing at his condition. Ordinarily Kiba would have thought nothing of beating all their asses in retaliation, but he was just too flustered right then over the loss of his clothes.

"S-sorry, Shino! You're on your own, man!" Kiba said with a red face, and he rushed off in the direction of his house, jumping over the rooftops in the hopes that no one would see him.

Konohamaru was meanwhile rolling on the ground with laughter, having seen the whole thing through his binoculars. This was just too hilarious! First Shino, and now he'd also embarrassed Kiba as a bonus! Just too bad he couldn't have more fun with the naked Inuzuka. Oh well, his sensei had assigned Shino as his target, so that's who he would focus on.

Shino sighed as his friend high tailed it out of the area. He didn't even have time to shout at him to stay and help him. Now he was stuck up here with those boys to tease him. He was glad he was high enough up so they couldn't have too much fun with him. He shuddered to think what might happen if they could, or if an older boy came along, one who could reach him.

At that moment he was jolted out of his thoughts however, as he felt a strange tickling sensation in a very unwelcome place. He looked down and saw that some of the boys had found some much longer pieces of grass. They'd probably had to run pretty far afield to get them. And they were using them to tickle his . . . penis.

He flushed even redder as the boys giggled at his reaction, and tried to twist in his ropes to evade the treatment. That was no good however, as he only swung right back to his original position after a moment. By this point the embarrassment was simply growing too much for poor Shino. With a start, he found that the outside stimulation of the grass tickles was also causing him to get partially hard. Was there no end to his humiliation?!

The giggling boys joined hands and formed a ring around Shino, circling under him like sharks under a piece of juicy dangling meat. They started singing an impromptu song about how dumb Shino must be to have gotten caught like he had been and exposed to everybody.

Hearing some strange reports, a team of ANBU next arrived on the scene to help Shino, moving so quickly that they were trying to undo his ropes before he could even open his mouth to warn them off. Their efforts failed just as Kiba's had, and there were soon four grown men also hastily stumbling away with their clothes vanishing. After that word seemed to get around, and no one else tried to free Shino, though many stopped by to laugh and see for themselves what had happened to him.

Finally, after another hour had passed, Konohamaru seemed to take pity on his victim. "I think that should definitely be enough to change his public image," he said with a chuckle as he drew his kunai. The boy wasn't totally without heart. Since Shino had abided by his terms and not tried to get loose from his bindings, Konohamaru would honor their agreement. He quickly threw a kunai that sliced through the rope where it was staked so the naked Shino fell down in a heap.

Shino hit the earth with a heavy thud, groaning from the impact but glad to be on the ground again. His ankles and wrists were still bound together but he knew he could escape it eventually. He looked up at Konohamaru, "You know you won't get away with this." Shino looked like he'd be hell bent on revenge on the boy. He would not forget this shame for as long as he lived.

Konohamaru just grinned and rubbed a finger under his nose. "Whatever bug-boy. You can't prove I did a thing, since it was your own bugs that ate through your clothes, wasn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if you get in even more trouble later for exposing all those ANBU like that!" He mocked as Shino was now at the mercy of the group of kids who could finally reach their prey.

Shino yelped and squirmed as he twisted and flexed his wrists to try and loosen the rope as fast as possible. Until he did so, the grinning kids were able to touch and squeeze wherever they liked. Despite all his best efforts though the ropes held tight on him. Thanks to lessons from his 'Prank Sensei', Konohamaru actually had some surprisingly good knot skills and they were quite difficult to get out of. By the time Shino finally got loose every curious boy had gotten a good feel of his naked body.

Konohamaru laughed along with the kids as Shino ran off in a huff. Most of the adults watching also laughed, thinking it was some sort of game. Konohamaru wasn't afraid of revenge from the humiliated bug-ninja, as he now had a secret weapon he could use anytime, in the form a jutsu which would leave any Aburame totally nude. Too late however, Konohamaru realized he hadn't dispelled that portion of the jutsu which affected those who tried to free Shino when he'd cut the ropes down.

"Oh-CRAP!" Konohamaru looked down at himself and realized that while he'd been gloating, the bugs had been working. The last scrap of his briefs disappeared before his very eyes, leaving his boyhood open for everyone to laugh at. He quickly hightailed it out of there himself before the boys could turn on their next victim, deciding he'd leave this part out when he gave his mission report to Naruto.
