Whee! Another mini Saanin adventure!! Like two people reviewed the first one, but it's good enough for me. NOTE: As I was writing this, I realized how much the kids on Team 7 are like the Saanins. I mean, I knew how much they were already, but as I was writing this it was like a sack of potatoes over my head.

"Oww!! Tsunaaaaadeee!! No fair! We all agreed no throwing snowballs with super-human strength!" Jiraiya wailed, face down in the snow. Behind him Saratobi Sensei groaned and Orochimaru rolled his eyes.

"I didn't use super-human strength! You're just weak and couldn't handle my snowball," Tsunade said in an annoying-ly superior tone, hands on her hips.

Jiraiya got up and brushed the snow off of his clothing. He turned to face Saratobi. "Aww, come on, Sensei! You must know that she cheated! Orochimaru, you too!"

Orochimaru only looked at him, and Saratobi covered his face in his hands. Underneath them, he moaned, "Jiraiya, can't you just keep quiet for one minute? It's only a snowball fight!"

Jiraiya let out a yell of indignation. "Only a snowball fight to you! I don't see Tsunade throwing snowballs at you and Orochimaru with super-human strength! It's only me! So of course you wouldn't complain! But when poor Jiraiya gets Tsunade's wrath taken out on him, you don't even yell at her!" he bellowed, pointing an accusing finger at Tsunade.

Orochimaru spoke. "Jiraiya, if you didn't want to hear his opinion, then why'd you turn to him? It's not our fault you're a total pain in the ass to Tsunade while Sensei and I aren't. Maybe if you weren't such a blubbering idiot she'd leave you alone."

Grr! That Orochimaru! Jiraiya thought, grinding his teeth. He always acts so cool and collected. Tsunade never hits him, it's only me. And Sensei just stands there and watches! What's the point of having a three man squad when your squadmembers are totally worthless?!

Tsunade turned to Orochimaru, not exactly sure whether to be glad or angry with him. He didn't exactly call her out on anything, but he made it sound like she beat up Jiriaya for a reason. Tsunade didn't hit Jiraiya for a reason, she just liked to. Orochimaru was too hard to catch to hit; too fast for her. And she didn't hit Sensei because… well, because he was Sensei.

"Orochimaru has a point, Jiraiya. If you were civil to Tsunade, she'd leave you alone. Right, Tsunade?" Tsunade nodded her head. She couldn't disagree with Sensei. Besides, it was cold and she wasn't in the mood for arguing.

"Hmph!" Jiraiya turned his back to his Sensei and team, and sat down on the snow. Behind him, the Tsunade was grumbling and Orochimaru was silent. After a few awkward minutes, the two began making a snowman, their back to Jiraiya.

Sensei sat down next to Jiraiya. He had one of those big Sensei speeches planned. He was going to tell Jiraiya that his teammates were just acting this way because of his poor attitude. You should act more like Orochimaru, he would say, Orochimaru sets a good example. He leaves Tsunade alone but contributes in teamwork. You, however, like to get on everyone's nerves and try to take over. Be more like Orochimaru, he would finish his lecture.

Jiraiya seemed to know what was coming. When Saratobi opened his mouth, he beat him to the punch. "I know what you're going to say. You're going to tell me to be more like Orochimaru, contribute more in teamwork, and leave Tsunade alone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before! Why don't you just say what we're all thinking? Tsunade is a bitch who needs hormonal pills and Orochimaru is an emo. Jeesh, Sensei. If you were truthful we might listen to you."

Saratobi could have pulled his hair out. No, he could have pulled Jiraiya's hair out. He wanted to summon a giant mudslide and bury Jiraiya underneath it, wait for it to harden, and then dance on it. He could pelt Jiraiya with a storm of kunais, fill his lungs with a smoke bomb, tear up all the notes he knew Jiraiya had about what he had seen when he was peeking. He could have killed Jiraiya.

Instead of killing his student, he closed his mouth, opened it again, and closed it once more. He was quiet for several minutes. Jiraiya was beginning to think he had said the wrong thing, and looked away from his Sensei. When he looked back several minutes later, Saratobi was no longer there. He was standing next to Tsunade and Orochimaru's now finished snowman, and he was talking to Tsunade. Jiraiya scowled at the three of them, and looked down at the snow in front of him. He had just began to draw some gallows with three ropes waiting, when he heard footsteps behind him.

He turned around, and Tsunade and Orochimaru were standing behind him. Orochimaru looked slightly fearful, and Jiraiya had a feeling Tsunade had dragged him with her. Tsunade wasn't looking as murderous as usual, but surveying Jiraiya with curiosity.

The three squadmembers stared at each other for a moment or two. Jiraiya finally opened his mouth. "Well, what do you want, emo child and hormonal bitch?"

Sigh. As you can imagine, that was the wrong thing to say. Tsunade's curious look vanished, and was replaced with it's usual murderous one. Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, and the purple lines coming from his eyes seemed to flash along with his yellow eyes. Jiraiya had one fleeting glimpse of Tsunade raising her fist, and Orochimaru's pupil's contracted to make him look even more like a snake, and he bent down to pick up a 3 foot long snake, which seemed to appear out of nowhere. Jiraiya screamed.

Saratobi looked over, shaking his head. Tsunade was punching Jiraiya, screaming curse words that are unsuitable for wee little ears. Orochimaru's snake was pinning Jiraiya down to the ground so Tsunade could hit him. So Jiraiya was basically being killed by Orochimaru and Tsunade.

Heh heh.

Saratobi finally walked over when Jiraiya resembled a newborn (and I literally mean newborn) baby – curled up, crying his head off, and covered in blood. He placed a hand on Tsunade's head, and one on Orochimaru's shoulder. Tsunade stopped punching Jiraiya, and Orochimaru's snake vanished in a poof of smoke.

Saratobi squatted down next to Jiraiya. He sighed, and said, "Now, Jiraiya. Perhaps tomorrow when we all meet you'll be more… civil." When Jiraiya let out a little wail, Saratobi smiled and replied, "I look forward to it."

Then Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Saratobi all joined hands and danced around Jiraiya.

I would like to say I'm kidding, but I don't really feel like it. So I'm going to end this story with Jiraiya's teacher and teammates laughing about Jiraiya's pain.

Ha.
