You guys… I honestly can't believe that I've gotten twenty reviews! You're all amazing and I love you all and give me more!... please? Am I supposed to phrase that as a question, or am I good with just demanding it from you all? Anyways, if anybody could give me an idea for a new summary, that would be great. Mine is kinda all over the place.

I don't own Naruto. If only I did, what do you think I'm doing going to school and listening to my mom and all that?

Naruko didn't just pull one big prank. No, that was for when she was just an itty bitty unknowlegable little prankster. Now, she had years of Shinobi experience. And she wasn't even pulling that big of a prank. It wasn't even supposed to be permanent, but Naruko hadn't tested the seals for this out yet on real people.

That and now she knew how to tree climb now. Unfortunately, her twelve year old body didn't. She just didn't have the chakra control to. So, she had to spend a few hours of that. And no, whatever anybody else may tell you, it wasn't her that blew up a whole training ground in frustration. Really.

So when Naruko could successfully climb up walls without using her hands or falling, she set out to do her prank.

It was dark by the time she finished the tree climbing, and everyone was getting ready for bed, but that suited her needs perfectly. This prank was a little something that she wanted to do for… well ever since Kakashi had shown her the tree climbing exercise. There was just so much you could do when you could hang off of the ceiling like a bat.

Like using seals to stick every piece of furniture in Konoha to the ceiling. Every piece. Even in the places that people weren't supposed to know about. Like Danzo's secret Root headquarters. Or the Hokage's library and office. Or all those places that are locked up so tightly even the Sannin would have trouble getting in.

She found it was embarrassingly easy to strap all the people to their beds and sealing those on the ceiling, which was troubling, because she didn't restrict her prank to just civilians. She knew that the ninja of Konoha had gotten out of shape during the peacetime, but this was just sad. Sad I tell you! These ninja's needed a lot of help if they wanted to survive the war if they couldn't even detect the drugs that she had put in their drinks and/or food when they weren't looking. She didn't even have to do that for most of them.

Maybe she could talk Jiji into making a ninja boot camp. Put Ibiki in charge of it. Or even Anko. No, no! He should put Gai in charge. That ought to do it. Naruko snickered as she thought of what the ninja's faces would look like when they realized that Gai, the man that ran five hundred laps around Konoha every morning for a light jog would be in charge of their training. Or maybe she should only put Gai in charge of the taijutsu training and Anko in charge of the infiltration training. Have Kakashi in charge of ninjutsu, and Kurenai genjutsu. That should whip them into shape. They should put the person that was named Hayate that died sometime around the Chuunin exams in charge of the kenjutsu training. She had heard of how good he was with a sword. Making a mental note to further her plans later, Naruko continued along her merry way.

She drugged everybody she had to all in two hours. She planned on doing other things, of course. Namely switching all of the signs on the public bathrooms, using permanent paint to paint all of the ANBU masks, Root or otherwise, blinding fluorescent orange, and doing the same to all of the roads. Thankfully, the paint dried fast. She also made it so anyone who tried to wash it off got their skin turned orange.

Ah, fuuinjutsu, the love of Naruko's life. Naruko had several loves of her life, which included, in order, Kakashi, her other precious people, Ramen-sama, fuuinjutsu, and orange. Sometimes the order switched around, but that was usually it (whenever Kakashi wasn't at the top of the list, he was sleeping on the couch).

Oh, and she might have made the Hokage Tower into a giant chicken.

Not an actual chicken, that was much too much work for one night. More like she dressed it up like a chicken. She would have to do that at a latter point though.

Her shadow clones were amazing. They had her personality, when they transferred all of her memories to her after they dispelled, and Naruko could create maybe two thousand or so of them at once at this point, even more when she got her normal chakra reserves back. She had created all that she could just to get the prank done in one night.

The only downside of them is that if she leave them for any longer than seven months they kind of went insane. Like deciding that the raccoon that had made its way into her apartment should be able to breath underwater, which, as far as she knew, was swimming away it's troubles in the future, was just one of the many, many experiments they conducted. Or there was that clone that dressed Gamabunta in a huge princess gown, a huge tiara and lots makeup. Oh, the scandalised look on Jiraiya's face! And she swore that the boss toad had actually liked it.

Naruko shuddered as she remembered the more… creative of the insane Naruko clones. Sure, she had thought about what would come out if she combined a donkey and one of those weird, flightless birds with the long necks that stuck their heads in the ground from Suna, but to actually do it? She would have to have to have absolutely no restraint.

… actually, that would explain a lot when it came to her clones.

Naruko sat on the top of the Hokage tower when the sun was slowly making it's way up. She should hear some people waking up in five… four… three… two…now.

A screech pierced the air as a woman woke up facing the ground from the vantage point on her bed.

Now a chorus of screams, yells, shouts and screeches emitted from the village as people started waking up.

Naruko leaned back, after having a good laugh, a tear making its way down her face as her emotions finally caught up with her. Kakashi is dead, you're all alone. He was dead, and replaced with one that shared no memories with her, the same as everybody else she had ever known. The majority of Konoha hated her right now. This was going to be harder than she thought.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a patient man. He had met many young ninja's in the making, but none of them were quite like his surrogate granddaughter Naruko. He wasn't certain anybody was like Naruko. Kami help him if there was. One was enough for the universe.

She was made of contradictions. The newest one was that she was twelve, but she was actually twenty.

The girl was going to give him an early death. There had been as many as thirty-four failed assassinations on the blond, and those were only the ones that he knew about. He may have been the Hokage, but he wasn't foolish enough to think that he knew everything that happened in the village.

He could spend all the time he had to worry over his impending death, but it was still the blond he worried about. Somehow, she had an effect on people that just made them better and healed them from whatever hurt from their past (it was a ninja village, it was rare to find somebody who didn't have something wrong with them).

Odd a girl that was so hated by the people surrounding her could make the ones that just got to know her love her so much.

Sarutobi sighed. They would meet at nine in the morning to settle what would happen in the future, and Naruko said that she would be playing a prank. Over the years, Naruko had become for rookie ANBU what Torra the cat was for Genin, which was unherd of for a child who hadn't even graduated from the Academy yet.

It was so early in the morning, the sun hadn't even come up yet, but he could still feel that customary Naruko is Pulling Pranks Headache and the You're Getting More Paperwork Soon Headache coming on. It happened every time Naruko pulled a prank, and he got them far too often for his liking.

Now, this wasn't an odd train of thought for the grandfatherly man, and he had thought of all of this before he had even opened his eyes and gotten out of bed. The moment he did open his eyes though, his first thought was, 'Wow, my ceiling looks exceptionally like my floor today. I can even see the mark where Konohamaru stabbed a Kunai when he tripped when he was trying to kill me. Again."

His second thought was, 'Wait a minute… that is my floor!'

His third thought was a weary, 'How nice, Naruko left 'Naruko Was here' graffiti all over. Very subtle.'

Sighing, he carefully observed the room. It seemed that Naruko had somehow gotten all of his things stuck on the ceiling. Including him. He was in his bed, and his bed was stuck to the ceiling.

Sarutobi just knew something like this would happen when Naruko learned the tree walking exercise. He regretted ever telling her that she would make a good Shinobi after she had snuck into his office without the ANBU or himself realizing it and had hidden under his desk on her birthday to escape the villagers. He had only noticed after she had started talking in her sleep. If he remembered correctly, it was something about Orange Ramen-sama.

He was terrified about what would happen to Konoha if Ichiraku's shut down. Naruko loved ramen from there like normal people loved oxygen. He remembered one of the Chuunin that was assigned to watch over her threatened to not feed her ramen for the week that he had to look after her. The Chuunin had spent a month off on medical leave. Naruko was truly terrifying if you threatened her precious ramen. He should know, he once told her that she should hold back on the ramen and eat healthier foods. The look she had given him… the girl was her parents daughter through and through.

Now, just how could he get out of her prank?

By the time it was nine, the only one that was in the office was a sleepy Naruko, intent on taking a nap in the Hokage's very comfy chair. And sleep she did, something she hadn't done since… Kami, when was the last time she had slept? It could have been a week, but it felt longer.

With that thought, Naruko's head hit the desk, the blond all but dead to the world.

It had been twelve by the time that the Hokage had made it back to his office, annoyance bubbling beneath the surface of grandfatherly patience. Now, the chicken Hokage tower might be bad but... idiot, how did it take you three hours to notice the strap buckling you to the bed?

Sarutobi had been approached by what he thought was around all the ninja that had made their way out of the prank, complaining and informing him about what the demon child had done to them, as if they didn't think that he didn't already know. He had just told them that he would work it out. And gave them The Hokage Glare Of Doom™ for calling Naruko-chan the demon child. He swore to Kami, the next person that bothered him…

Nobody was in the halls, and he doubted that the Genin would be getting here anytime soon. Naruko was probably watching the aftermath of her prank, as she so loved to do. Storming into his office, he didn't even notice her sleeping behind his desk until she let out a particularly loud snore.

"Naruko…" Sarutobi shook his head when he realized that she must have gotten no sleep last night to pull off her prank. Oh well, Kakashi should probably be showing up in an hour or so, because it was three hours after nine, and the man seemed intent on having petty revenge on his team by being a few hours late every time they met.

It indeed took Kakashi forty-five minutes to get to his office, and Naruko was still snoring away, with occasional intervals of "Ramen-sama! No! Don't turn away, I still love you!" and so on.

The moment Kakashi arrived in a shower of leaves, Naruko woke and jumped on his desk, eyes wild with panic, making papers fly everywhere.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow (or both of them, nobody ever knew what facial expression he was wearing behind that mask), "Am I late?"

Blinking, Naruko's face flushed pink, and immediately got down from where she was towering over everybody. The Hokage chuckled, "If you're late, your other two Genin are even later."

Shocked, Naruko could only make a little squeaky noise. Kakashi, earlier than, not one, but two people? That was even more unlikely than her going back in time!

Snickering under his breath at the looks on his two ninja's faces, the Sandaime gleefully thought, payback, because, yeah as much as he loved the girl and loved how useful and efficient Kakashi was, if felt good to get them back for just a tiny moment.

And he could see the looks that Naruko had given him when she thought nobody was watching. It was the same look on her face as she had just before eating a bowl of ramen, and that could only mean one thing.

The person that Naruko was engaged to was Kakashi. Sarutobi knew her better than anybody, and that was definitely her enamoured look. But that was okay. Once he got over the fact that Kakashi was fourteen years older than her, it would be fine. And if Kakashi got ridiculous missions every once and a while, well, somebody had to do them. And why not Kakashi?

Kakashi didn't like the glint in the Sandaime's eyes. In fact, it was exactly that look that he had right before Kakashi was sent to watch little Naruko-chan when she was little to make sure that nothing bad would happen to her. It was especially hard that one time the little girl had turned to where he was hiding in watch and forced an instant ramen cup into his hand. Just like Kushina and sometimes Minato would do when he stayed up training for too long and had to hid from them to get out of a lecture.

Naruko may have never been the smartest person, but she knew for at least a year Kakashi looked at her and didn't see Naruko, but her parents. It was visible in his eyes. Er, eye? Anyways, it would take some time for Kakashi to start thinking of her as her own person. She should start doing stuff that her parents wouldn't do. Let's see, her father was a fuuinjutsu genius and he created the Ransignan, so using that for a while around him was out (she knew this already. Jiraiya would have to 'teach' it to her for her to use it. How else would she know it?). Her mother, on the other hand was a pranking genius and cheerful all the time.

She could go around giving out free ramen to the people who couldn't get it for themselves, as neither of her parents would give away of their ramen, but the people would think that she was poisoning them (and she really didn't want to give away any of her precious ramen).

What to do, what to do?

That's it! Naruko knew exactly what to do. She would put her beginning stages of her Force Kakashi To Stop Viewing Her As Her Parents And Therefore Force Him To Fall In Love With Her (FKTSVHAHPATFHTFILWH for short) plan into action later.

"Naruko-chan, would you care to explain why we found ourselves stuck to the ceiling? Furthermore, why I couldn't get my Icha Icha off the bookshelf?" an irritated Kakashi asked.

"Because I thought that the student of my father would at least know how to counteract a simple sticking seal?" Naruko innocently suggested.

"You know who your parents are?" The Hokage asked cautiously. At her nod, he turned to Kakashi with a smirk, "She's got you there."

"Okay, so I might not have thought of that, but it's Icha Icha!" he protested.

"Fine," Naruko said shortly, ignoring the way this eye widened slightly. He obviously didn't expect her to let him have his porn. Her parents wouldn't have done that!

"Here's an extra, I nicked it off the old man," Naruko held out the book to him, ignoring the Hokage's splutters.

Kakashi greedily grabbed the book, too upset to even eye smile at her. Naruko sweat dropped.

"You know," Sarutobi intoned, "It's supposed to be illegal to steal from the Hokage."

"It's okay! I stole from Baa-chan and Kakashi- I mean Kakashi-sensei- too!" Naruko flushed a little at her slip up. She was supposed to refer to him as Kakashi-sensei now, damnit!

"No," Kakashi said, face pale, as he the implications in her words hit him, "I'm not going to be the Hokage. No."

"It's fine! You were only the temporary Rokudaime. I took your place afterwards!" Naruko beamed at him.

The Sandaime balanced, "What did you do to my village?"

"I protected it, like my father and my mother before me. And I might have painted Konoha the marvelous colour of orange."

"Naruko… you don't ever change, do you?" Sandaime shook his head with a small smile on his face.

"This is very nice and all," Kakashi said, "But can we get my two cute little Genin over here? We need to talk."

"Of course! How could I forget? Ugh, they're probably still strapped to their beds," Naruko muttered, rummaging around in a bag that was by her feet.

"Aha! Found them!" Naruko held up two seals in a triumphant manner. If he wasn't so curious about what she had found, Kakashi would have rolled his eyes.

As if reading his mind, Naruko explained, "These are the seals connected to the seals that I put on the straps. All I need to do is find Sasuke's and Sakura's, and bam! The're on the floor, hopefully without any broken bones and in here in less than an hour!"

Kakashi and Hiruzen shared a look.

"I don't see why we couldn't have done it my way. The worst they could have gotten is a few broken bones," Naruko complained.

Sakura blanched, "WHAT?"

"Yeah! It's nothing! See, Sakura-chan agrees with me! It's only broken bones!" Naruko nodded sagely.

"Baka! If I get broken bones, I'll have to go to the hospital and I won't get to spend as much time with Sasuke-kun! And they'll make me ugly!" Sakura cried.

Sasuke grunted, but glared at Naruko.

"Geez you guys, if you think that broken bones are the worst you'll ever get, why are you even ninja? Back when I'm from- that sounds so weird- I got, hell we all got so much worse! And do you know what? We gave as worse as we got." Naruko stubbornly set her jaw.

Her outburst caused both Sasuke and Sakura to go silent.

But not for long…

"Yosh! My eternal rival!" Sasuke and Sakura stared wide eyed at the spandex clad green things that came barreling towards them.

"Oh!" Naruko said as if struck by realization. Sarutobi shuddered at the look of mischief in her eyes, "You're Might Gai, aren't you? And you're Rock Lee?"

Sakura snapped to attention. That was what she married in the future? B-but… his eyebrows were the size of both of her thumbs put together! Did her older self get his on the head one too many times? He wasn't even nearly as handsome as Sasuke-kun! Hell, even Shino was more attractive than him!

Naruko as she noticed the expression on Sakura's face. Oh boy, was that girl in for a rude awakening. She remembered the time that Ino waxed Lee's eyebrows in his sleep. He looked way cute, but there was something so wrong with the image. It was like Kiba without Akamaru or Kakashi going around with no mask. It just wasn't right. She thinks that was around the time that Sakura had realized that while Lee could be… well Lee 'nuff said, he was also madly in love with her and also a really good person. So she went on the wild adventure that is falling in love. Now, to get her to fall in love with him again… that'll be harder than getting Kakashi to take off his mask.

"Yosh! Who is asking after our youthful selves?" Lee yelled, all the while staring at Sakura, a small blush on his face.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruko dattebayo! I'm going to be the Hokage! These are my teammates Uchiha Sasuke-teme and Haruno Sakura-chan!" she had missed Lee, who had died with his baby boy and Sakura.

"Sakura-chan! A fitting name for a blossom as beautiful as you!" Lee said.

"Uh…," Sakura clearly wasn't moved, "Thank-you?"

"Yosh! How youthful Lee-kun! You have found your youthful love!" Gai shouted.

"Gai-sensei!"

"Lee-kun!"

"Gai-sensei"

"Lee-kun!"

"My eyes," wailed, surprisingly, Sasuke, "My eyes are burning!"

"At least," Kakashi said, a haunted look in his eyes, "You've never seen it with your Sharingan."*

Sasuke shuddered and for the first time in forever he wondered if Itachi was doing the family good by putting them out of their misery.

"Aww! I haven't seen Gai-sensei like this since Lee died. It's nice," Naruko smiled sadly.

Kakashi frowned, and stared at his bushy browed friend as if he was going to go poof. She said everybody died… that would mean Gai too, wouldn't it?

He doesn't know how many more friends he could stand seeing dead.

Sensing the declining mood Naruko shouted, just to freak everybody out, "Yosh! Where did you get your youthful green spandex? I know just the person who it would bring out their springtime of youth!"

"How youthful for you to help other find their springtime of youth!" Gai shouted, "I have made my youthful clothing!"

Naruko snickered, "Great! Can you help me make some for my friend?"

"Yosh! I would love to, but you will have to go to my protegé, Lee-kun, for to truly master an art, you will have to be able to teach it!" Gai said wisely.

"Right…" Sarutobi cleared his throat, his grandfatherly smile fighting to stay in place, "I believe that we have some matters to discuss, so we shall be taking our leave."

They were all gone faster than you could say 'Rude'.

"Gai-sensei? Will you teach me how to woo my beautiful Sakura-chan?" Lee asked tentatively.

"Lee-kun! I will show you the youthful ways of getting a woman youthful heart in the most youthful ways!" Gai shouted, tears of youthful pride making it's way down his cheeks.

Sakura suddenly felt a chill go down her spine.

Should I start adding in flashbacks? I mean, I could make them really funny or really sad or really fluffy. You guys tell me!

Okay, nothing really happened this chapter. It sucks, but the next chapter will be really good.I'll get started for that soon but for now… school. I shall slay the dreaded beast called homework, and then I will get to working on this, and it'll be up soon. I love you all, and I'll love you even more when you give me reviews!
