Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

AN: Been a while since I updated…anything really. I blame life…as in I don't have one right now. My best friend has been bombarding me with Naruto stuff lately, so you can thank her for this chapter. I think my butt is about halfway back on the Naruto wagon, so I'll be working on the next chapter of BIAAG next.

Manly Bonding

Chapter Three

"Hey sensei, can I go next?"

Genma raised an eyebrow in mild surprise, and replied with a hint of amusement.

"I've never seen anyone volunteer in the first lesson. Your enthusiasm is astounding Naruto. By all means, go ahead."

Giving Neji a thumb up sign, Naruto ran to the opposite side of the room, before turning back toward the rest of the group.

Bright blue eyes sparkled with a hint of mystery behind long luscious lashes, a soft smile playing upon his lips. As he slowly strolled toward the gathered group, one could almost hear the ocean waves crushing in the background. His longish blond spikes flowed in a graceful dance as the wind swept it from root to end.

Then suddenly, the wind died down and all that's left of the previously alluring picture was Naruto's shit eating grin, with albeit, a hint of cockiness this time.

The Anbu men blinked.

"That was…impressive, Naruto." Genma nodded with approval before address the rest of the group. "Gentlemen, that was the definition of 'wind-in-hair'. Ingrain that into your minds, it may save your life one day."

Shrugging at the owlish gazes, Naruto replied simply, "Having a wind affinity helps."

"That was very sexy Naruto-kun. It almost made me think you had a penis."

Naruto's face flashed a shade of angry red exactly 0.59 seconds later.

"Damnit Sai! Could you not say things like that?!?"

"Does it make you uncomfortable Naruto-kun? My apologizes. I won't make the mistake of suggesting you having a penis again."

"GAAAH!!! Genma-sensei! Why the hell is he even in this class? Didn't the bastard already serve in that messed up Anbu division?"

"Indeed. Sai is here only as a formality, having transferred over from the now dissolved Roots division. Therefore he's exempt from the lessons unless he chooses to participate. In fact, Godaime-sama offered him a direct pass, but he offered to take the course anyways, because he wanted to learn more about how males interacted in a close nit yet stressful environment."

"I thought it would be good practice for me in learning social interactions."

"This is hardly a normal social situation!"

"Naruto."

Immediately after hearing the calm voice, Naruto quieted down, although a scowl stayed on his face.

Neji then nodded toward the remaining member of their group.

"Shino still hasn't gone yet."

Shoulders tensing from his location by the wall, where he has been impassively watching the entire lesson, Shino answered in a curt voice.

"I don't do sexy."

AN2: But of course…Shino has no choice!! Hahahahhaha! Find out all about Shino's inner sexy beast in the next chapter of 'Manly Bonding'.
