AN: I'm gonna end this story here for now...at a semi-conclusive spot. At least it'll give this story some...closure...kinda.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
"I'm afraid you don't have a choice Shino," Genma said, "The Manly Bonding is mandatory for all new Anbu members."
"Com'on Shino! Have confidence in yourself."
"It's not that I am not confident, Naruto. Rather it's because….well, you shall see." Shino finally conceded.
With a soft sigh, he slowly reached up with one hand and pulled off his always present sunglasses.
Four gasps were heard.
It was as if the cover has been removed from a genius' finest painting.
Brilliant green eyes speckled with flecks of gold peeked out bashfully from beneath long luxurious lashes. The bone structure was flawless, as if he has been chiselled to perfection by the most brilliant sculptor. Pale pink lips smiled wryly at the other men, drawing attention to the gentle Cupid's bow that seemed to always pout.
It was Neji who finally spoke first, "He doesn't need to be sexy. He is…perfection."
"Wow, Shino," Naruto was still staring, "just…wow."
"You understand why I wear the sunglasses now," Shino stated.
The men nodded their heads in understanding.
"My penis feels strange. Is this a normal reaction to this situation?"
"Sai!" Naruto exclaimed, mortified by his friend's words.
A soft pink flush spread across Shino's cheeks, and he quickly pulled his sunglasses back on again.
"Okay," Genma interrupted before this can turn into another penis discussion. "Shino, I'm glad you decided to share this side of yourself with us. Gentlemen, Shino is what we would consider to be 'special', a genius at the art of Manly Bonding. In other words, he has been blessed by what mommy and daddy gave him. It is very rare to see someone with so much talent, and those with this natural ability often decide to camouflage it at an earlier age."
Shino nodded in agreement as Genma continued with his speech.
"The only other time that I was privileged to witness such a genius was back when I was completing my own Manly Bonding training…with one Hatake Kakashi."
"Kakashi-sensei?"
"Yes Naruto. Kakashi is well-known to the world as a genius of the ninja arts. But what you don't know is that once the mask comes off, he becomes a genius of a different sort." Genma's eyes glazed over in memory, "To witness such a transformation can only be described as…orgasmic."
Everyone's jaws dropped.
"Ka…Kakashi-sensei?"
"Yes Naruto. I believe this is part of the reason Gai became who he is today. He could not handle the fact that the only reason he won over Kakashi was because he refused to expose his true potential to the world." Genma paused for a moment to reconsider his thoughts. "Or it might be due to years of suppressing his lust for his rival. I don't really know to be honest. There was a rumour going around that Gai is actually the secret head of Kakashi's fan club."
Genma looked back into eyes filled with morbid fascination, and felt cold sweat form on his back. He might have over shared just a tiny bit. Kakashi would not be happy if he hears about this.
Time to cut this short.
"Alright gentlemen. This is enough for your first day. Shino, I will contact Kakashi to set up some one-on-one training with you. I believe you will benefit from such an arrangement. Who knows, you might just be as good as Kakashi someday."
Looking back into the faces of his bright eyed students, Genma chuckled under his breath.
"Be back tomorrow at the same time, for your second session of…The Manly Bonding!"
