I got a review from Mayumi Crescent Moon about how short the first part of the story was and while I was at work the wheels of inspiration began to turn. Amazing what can happen when you're drying silverware, no? So, after thinking it over, this is what I decided happened afterwards.
Naruto still belongs to one Masashi Kishimoto. Who is still not me. Still damn.
"I knew I was going to be the one that had to deal with this." I grumbled under my breath and applied more antiseptic to the last of the twenty-something bite wounds on Naruto's arm. "Ah, come on Sakura-chan, it's not all bad. At least I got three of the nuts!" I rolled my eyes and 'accidentally' tightened the wrap around the wounded limb. "Yes, I am so sure Kakashi-sensei would be proud. Maybe next time you should go play with the guard dogs. And I'm sure Jiraiya-sama would be getting a kick out of this as well if he were here." He scowled at that. "If pervy sage were here I wouldn't have to be training with squirrels. Itai, Sakura-chan!"
With one last tug of the bandage to keep it in place, I looked over to the little cage were I had put the squirrel. It was currently banging its head against the sides and making the most awful sounds I'd ever heard an animal make. And…its eyes were glowing red…and was now sporting more tails… "Naruto, what is that thing?!" I shrieked as it began to gnaw through the metal bars. It was soon out and sitting on the counter of the room, staring at us as if daring us to move. "Naruto, don't make any fast movements. I'm going to try to distract it." "SWEET! A DEMON SQUIRREL! NOW THAT'S A CHALLENGE!" And with that Konoha's Number One Knuckle-Head Ninja pounced the satanic mammal and tried to wrestle it down.
"TSUNADE-SAMA, SOMEBODY, HELP!" I yelled and yanked Naruto back but the squirrel had dug it's now razor sharp teeth into his shoulder and convulsing wildly. Tsunade ran into the room and saw what had to have been some mad dream she'd drank herself into. "Naruto, Sakura, what the hell is going on?!" She yelled at the both of us, and I felt myself relax just a little. If anyone could deal with this, it was the fifth hokage. "The squirrel that bit Naruto went crazy and I don't know how to stop it!" I tried to explain while also doing my best to stay out of Naruto's way. Said boy had a death grip on the squirrel's body and was trying to pull the thing off of himself as he tore around the room screaming profanities.
"Oh for the love of…GET OVER HERE!" Tsunade-sama grabbed Naruto by the shoulder opposite the antichrist of squirrels, gripped its tails, and gave a great yank. Instantly the squirrel let go and was now hanging upsidown, chattering at Tsunade as she restrained it. Naruto had stopped moving altogether, mouth open and what seemed to be…tears in his eyes? "Naruto, are you okay?" I asked as I cautiously approached him. He blinked a couple times before seeming to think of something to say…. "SHIT!"
Later on, after Tsunade-sama had knocked out the little animal and made sure it had gone back to normal before letting it go, I went to see Naruto. Unfortunately, I couldn't find him no matter where I looked, even Ichiraku's. After a few more minutes of searching I heard yelling coming my way. I looked and saw something that made me wish I'd drunk myself into a mad dream. Hauling down the street with a steak in each hand was Naruto followed by several very pissed off and demonic dogs.
" I WAS KIDDING ABOUT THE GUARD DOGS YOU BAKA!"
I think I had way too much fun writing this part. Hope you liked it!
