And with that last chapter, I topped 200 reviews. I just wana say thanks to everyone out there who has contributed to this number! Let's see if I can write well enough to reel another hundred in yeah? ;)

Chapter 16

As Anko and Naruto wandered along, they chatted about random things, laughing loudly and talking about all forms of inappropriate things like there was no one else around. That being said, it's a real talent managing to be so blissfully ignorant when you ARE being stared at so blatantly. But then, for these two, walking down the main street of Konoha with one of the most powerful Jounin in the country slung carelessly over your shoulder is something that's not really worth mentioning. I mean, that kinda thing happens all the time yeah? Totally normal.

"Oi, so you're telling me that cat-anbu actually got that into it she started cleaning herself with her tongue?"

Anko laughed. "Yup! Like, everywhere too. It was crazy to think a human could bend like that."

Naruto stared up to the sky in awe. "Man... I cannot wait till I can get to see what happens in there! Any other crazy stories?"

Spying a tuft of silver-gray hair walking on the other side of the road, Anko grinned evilly. "Wana make a story now?"

Naruto sucked in a big lung full of air when she realised what Anko mean. "Hell yes! What we gona do?"

Dropping Kurenai in a conveniently placed chair, the taller trouble maker leaned down and began whispering into her little blond friends' ear.

XxXxXxX

"Hey Kakashi-senpai! What you doin?"

Barely glancing up from his ever present book, the well renown Jounin waved at his student. "Mmm... not much... just got the latest Icha Icha book so kinda busy."

Leaning in, Naruto stood on her tip toes to try get a look at what he was reading. While a perve, Kakashi was not about to (totally) corrupt his students just yet.

"Ah-ah, not till you're older Naruto. This is a grown-ups book!"

Naruto leaned back and put on an adorable pout. "Awww, I just wanted to quickly check something but! I made a modification to my Oiroke no Jutsu and I just wanted to see if it was accurate."

Ear twitching, Kakashi looked over. "What was that you say?"

Naruto grabbed a duel handful of her boobs and looked down at them critically. "Well, I was told that I wasn't sexy enough yet so I went ahead and made some changes."

Kakashi might have been protective of his students minds, but his had well and truly been corrupted.

"Well now, perhaps I can help you with that? I do know a thing or two about women's bodies."

Naruto looked up at him and smiled brightly. "Really? Thanks sensei! Lets just duck into that alleyway so I don't cause mass blood loss."

Now relocated, Naruto quickly crossed her fingers. In a poof, there was a new girl standing beside her, covered in nothing but smoke. Kakashi felt his top lip start itching and his fingers began giving off sporadic twitches. Seeing this, Naruto grinned.

The 'clone' wasn't actually Naruto at all, but Anko coming into the mix. While any local dropkick would be able to tell the difference in chakra signature, Anko knew for a fact Kakashi would overlook such a minor detail when presented with such an *ahem* show.

In any case, Anko's clone and Naruto quickly embraced and pressed themselves together, looking up at Kakashi with wide eyes and lips pursed.

"How's this Kakashi-sama? Is it ok? Pleeeease say yes!"

To add to the pleading voice, the two girls pulled the hug in closer, making bits squish out. Dropping his book, Kakashi blasted smoke from his nostrils as he over heated and threw two very eager thumbs up.

"BRILLIANT! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT NARUTO-KUN! Easily the finest thing I have seen all year!"

Squealing and giggling, Naruto and Anko-clone rubbed themselves together a bit more before in a puff of smoke, the clone disappeared. Grinning up at her teacher, Naruto blinked rapidly.

"Thankyou so much Kakashi-senpai! I'm glad it's so much better!"

Throwing him a wave, the girl then merrily skipped out of the alleyway. Taking a moment to recover, Kakashi leaned up against the wall and took several deep breaths. A show like that would easily give a weaker man a heart attack. Finally composing himself, he looked around. Spying his book on the ground, he picked it up. Dusting it down, he found his page. Smiling to himself, he began to read.

'"Oh Kakashi-san, you're so muscular..."'

Pausing, Kakashi read the line again. Why was his name in there? Shrugging, he guessed it was just another of Jiraiya's amazing plot twists.

'"Oh Kakashi-san, you're so muscular. Come here right now and let me rub my hands over your body. I'm gona do things to you that you can only have dreamed of." Mito-Gai grinned.'

Kakashi's eye twitched. He read the line again. And then again. And then once more just to be sure. Rubbing his only visible eye, he sighed. He must be tired. Flipping the page, he started reading the first line.

'As they continued to stare into each other's eyes, Kakashi slowly began rubbing Gai's powerful back as the taller man traced Kakashi's well defined pecs.'

Kakashi's pupil began to shrink and his eye widened in horror as he read more lines. Kakashi and Gai this. Gai and Kakashi that. Kakashi doing WHAT TO GAI?

XxXxXxX

Naruto was giggling as Anko finished explaining exactly what it was she did to Kakashi's book.

"... and so I basically turned it into one massive man on man story, featuring Kakashi and his eternal rival as the main characters."

Just then, a horrific screech erupted from the alleyway Naruto had just been in before being quickly followed by a high powered Katon Jutsu exploding out through the gaps. Both Anko and Naruto looked back until a small, mostly burnt piece of paper floated down in front of Anko's face. Grabbing it, she read the small amount of legible text on it and grinned.

"That was a heaps better reaction than I expected."

Passing it to her smaller companion, she then laughed as Naruto blanched after reading some of the man-love. Slapping Naruto across the back, Anko started walking.

"Come on kid, let's get Nai-baby back to my place before Kakashi destroys the area."

XxXxXxX

Unlocking the door to her apartment, Naruto and Anko were having a royal laugh after word reached them that Kakashi had had to be tackled and held down by several Anbu before being taken away, near in tears. Walking inside, Anko kicked off her shoes and tossed Kurenai onto her bed without even looking. Turning back to Naruto, she pointed at the grubby girl and then pointed at the shower.

"Na-ah. You are covered top to toe in dust and I ain't having none of that in my house. Shower first and then afternoon tea."

Grinning, Naruto nodded quickly before dashing over to the mentioned door. Slipping inside, Naruto stripped and jumped in.

Anko was busy removing Kurenai's shoes when a loud gasp came from the shower.

"No way! You have clear water! What's up with that?"

Looking at the door incredulously, Anko continued with the shoe removal. "Uh, yeah? What did you expect, mud?"

"Yeah actually! I mean, that's the colour of my shower water atleast. What did you do, put a purifier seal on the shower head or something?"

Anko paused. Was the kid for real? "Hey Naruto..."

"Yeah?"

"How long has it been since a plumber came and had a look at your pipes?"

"... a what?"

Anko looked at the door.

"Anko?"

Anko just looked away. "Never mind."

It seemed she needed to have a quick word with the Hokage.

XxXxXxX

Still wondering what Anko was going on about, Naruto got back to washing. Being a girl meant that while there was less to wash in some areas, there were substantial amounts elsewhere that needed attention...

Like her hair. Damn stuff now fell way past her shoulders and it was full of sticks and dirt and other awesomely man-worthy stuff. Grabbing the soap, she began scrubbing at the gold locks because that's how real men wash their hair. Shampoo is for wusses. It was while she was doing that though that she noticed something.

A hair.

Normally, a hair isn't worthy of note but when it's that high up on the wall, one wonders how it actually managed to get there. The dark colour was also a dead giveaway that it wasn't hers either. Trying to get back to washing herself, Naruto couldn't help but keep looking back at the hair. Now that she knew where it was, her body seemed to gravitate towards it no matter where she went. And what's worse is touching someone else's wet hair is super icky. Frowning, Naruto grabbed the shower head and pointed it at the hair. It slid a little bit down the wall but then it stopped. Squinting, Naruto then began the game of cat and mouse with the hair as she chased it down the wall. Finally reaching the floor, Naruto quickly ran into the corner and began trying to wash it down the drain. Unfortunately though, the tables turned and for some reason, no matter where she pointed the shower head, the hair was sure to wash closer to her than comfortable. So with that, Naruto had to jump from corner to corner as she avoided the hair. After what seemed like forever, the girl finally succeeded in washing it away. Allowing herself a little fist pump of victory, Naruto claimed her win and put the shower head back.

*Thump, thump*

"What the hell are you doing in there Naruto? You've been ages! If you're doing that then the least you could have done is told me to wait a bit before I started cooking!"

Wondering what Anko was on about, Naruto quickly washed herself down. "Sorry, be out in a minute!"

When she finally emerged, Anko looked over at the girl as she towelled her hair dry. "Thanks to you, the foods nearly cold now. Well done."

Naruto looked down at the few lukewarm noodles and shrugged. "That's ok. Food's food, no matter how warm. It just tastes better when hot."

Sensing something a bit deeper in that, Anko leaned in slightly. "What you mean by that?"

Eyeing up the noodles as she lifted them up with her chopsticks, Naruto blew on them needlessly.

"Oh, just when I was a little kid after I was kicked out of the orphanage, I learned that food was food no matter how it came and to be thankful for every little bit I got."

Slurping up the noodles, Naruto's happily closed eyes missed Anko's face harden. No child deserved to be treated like that. Grabbing her own, Anko resolved to be more grateful for the little things. Deciding that she was feeling a bit too cranky with that, she changed the subject.

"So when can you train again?"

Looking up, Naruto grinned. "Hopefully tomorrow! Ero-Sennin is due back some time tomorrow so hopefully he'll be able to fix whatever's wrong with me and then I can get back into it!"

Anko's eyes twinkled as she slurped up some more noodles. "Sounds like fun. Mind if I join you for your first training session back?"

Naruto gasped happily. "Would you? That would be awesome!"

Anko nodded. "Yup. You interest me so I wana see what else you can do."

Naruto smiled broadly and nodded. "Sure! I'll be sure to... where's the toilet?"

Sighing at the abrupt end to the conversation, Anko pointed down the hall. Smiling again, Naruto went to stand up and disappeared into a puff of smoke. Coughing, Anko waved a hand in front of her face and squinted through the haze. She saw Naruto grinning happily at himself as he patted his chest.

"Sweet, now I can stand up to pee!"

Turning, he then waddled down the hall. Pausing a second, Anko shrugged and went back to eating. She should be used to the boy saying stuff like that by now. Hearing a groan, Anko looked over to see Kurenai sitting up, rubbing her head.

"Oh... I really wish this day would just end already."

"No chance! You still have several more fine hours left before you can call it over!"

Turning to see her grinning friend with noodles smeared all over her face, Kurenai groaned again and fell back onto the bed.

"Just wake me when the day's over then would you?"

Anko just chuckled and turned when Naruto started walking out of the hall with a flush. Looking at the messy woman, Naruto pointed at her.

"Oh, yeah. I wanted to ask what you meant while I was in the shower before too."

Anko grinned. "What was that Naruto?"

"Oh, me doing that in the shower."

Anko quickly looked over at the bed. Aaaaany second now...

"WHAT?"

Bingo.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT NARUTO?"

Naruto looked at the loud, blushing woman cautiously. "Well, Anko said if I was gona be doing that in the shower I should tell her so she didn't waste time cooking too early."

Grinning evilly, Anko looked up at her friend. "Well, while I might know what it is, you might be able to break it to him more gently, hey, Nai-baby?"

She turned a shade redder before turning and diving into the pillows at the head of the bed and digging under them till she disappeared. Laughing, Anko just slurped up her remaining noodles. Standing, she cleaned up the remaining mess and took Naruto to the door.

"Well kid, sorry but I got stuff to do now. You best run along home now and get ready for tomorrow. If everything goes to plan then you're gona need your rest."

She finished off by giving Naruto an evil grin. Totally ignoring it though, Naruto just pouted and looked away. "Whatever. You're just avoiding my question."

Disappearing inside, Anko quickly returned with a little orange book. Tossing it at Naruto, she slowly closed the door.

"Not to worry brat. That book will answer all your questions and more. Anyway, I'll be seeing you tomorrow!"

As the door clicked shut, Naruto looked down at the book. He knew what it was and didn't have any interest in it, but if it was going to answer his questions...

Flicking it open, he began reading as he walked down the stairs.

XxXxXxX

A/N – Well now, I gotta say that was an exceptionally fun chapter to write! I got it all out in one sitting and I didn't have to change a thing. Sorry about it not moving as quickly as it could have but never fear, the mighty Jiraiya-sama shall make his appearance next chapter! Prepare for perverted levels of unknown proportions! Oh, and all the funnies that come with it.

Until then my faithful readers,
