Written By: Allison Sesshomaru

She skimmed the aisles of the bookstore searching for a particular book she was told to buy and read—Makeout Paradise. She had heard many horrible things about and dreaded ever having to read or even see it, but since her sensei was the man who wrote it, it seemed like it was going to happen sooner or later.

She walked into a section forbidden to the young and there it was on the last shelf on the last section of shelves. She walked by many older men who gave her many funny looks, which made a pinkish glow illuminate her cheeks, but no enough to notice.

The men's eyes trailed her as she walked to the end, for she looked more beautiful than any woman twice her age. She bent down in her light blue kimono making sure to cover her legs so that the men would not stare. She grabbed the book and stood up straight. She looked at the front of the book and then the back which seemed rather settle to her, well that's all except the large circle with a dash through it, a symbol meaning forbidden. She placed the book in front of her, close to her stomach, and walked toward the checkout counter. The men were still watching her.

The man at the counter looked at Hana rather taken aback at what he saw within "her" hands. She handed it to him and turned her face to stare at the entrance door; she wanted to get out of there as quick as she could.

He glared at her to see if she was old enough, but he couldn't see, so he asked her,

"Honey, are you old enough to purchase this book?"

She turned around to look at his hand; it was tapping the counter. She pulled out a small card and handed it to the clerk. It had a message on it:

"MY" book, Makeout Paradise

please allow her to purchase it."

Jiraiya

The bookstore keeper looked at the not and then at her, "Who are you to him, his inspiration?" "Don't ever think that I would model for that kind of stuff!" Hana explained with anger in her voice. The keeper began to laugh nervously. Her words had frightened him so badly that it made him jump and finish the transaction. She gave him the money, got her change, grabbed the bag that had the book in it, and left.

Walking down the street, she felt a little bit better about what just happened, yet she still pondered why Jiraiya wanted her to read this book. I mean he wrote it, why does he need me to read it, she thought as she turned around the corner; she bumped right into someone.

She felt a huge burst of energy knock her to the ground, sending the book I the bag flying out, and her sitting in a un-lady like position. "You should be a little more careful when walking the streets. You don't know who'll knock you down."

She looked up to see that it was Kakashi Hatake, whom she bumped into. "Oh, hi Kakashi. Sorry for that. I'm such a klutz in this stupid kimono." She smiled and then noticed that her kimono was open and Kakashi could see all that was underneath. She pulled her legs down in front of her and pulled the ends of the kimono over her knees; Kakashi blushed and then bent down to help her up. "There you go, Hana. Are you okay?" he asked rubbing the back of his head, grinning from ear to ear underneath his mask. "I'm fine," she said searching for the bag. She found it only two feet away, and when she picked it up, she found it was empty. "Oh, are you looking for this?"

She looked at him and saw a broad smile on his face again. She went to grab the book, but Kakashi raised his arm making it too high for her reach. "Come on, Kakashi. Let me have it. I'm not playing with you." "Why do you need this so bad? I thought I was the only one who read this stuff," he looked up at it, "Oh, it's the newest issue. I think I'll confiscate this because you're too young to be reading such a book um…" he said as he got closer to her face and smiled that same goofy smile again.

She blushed and then she got angry which made her grab for the book so fast that Kakashi didn't see it which in turn left him with holding nothing in his hand. "That's not fair; I was only playing around with you, Hana." "I don't have time to be playing around with you. Just leave me alone," Hana said as she turned around, her face turned red as she left Kakashi standing there scratching his head, wondering if she was really mad or faking it.

She went to the place where she trained for the Chunin Exams and sat down on the stone ledge near the woods. She pulled the book from her bag and opened it to the first page. There was a half-naked girl in a see-through kimono lying on a bed of towels winking at her. She rolled her eyes and opened it to the next page. There was Jiraiya's penname underneath the title: Makeout Paradise. She couldn't believe he would write such crap as this, but she kept turning the pages until she got to the story.

Suddenly, without warning, Naruto came out of nowhere and landed in front of her, his face leaning toward hers, "Hey Hana, what's ya doing out here not training?" "Just relaxing," she spoke with a jump as she tried to hide the book from Naruto's sight; she knew that he would know exactly what she was reading because Kakashi was his teacher, but she was too late, "Why do you have that? Did Kakashi-sensei forget it out her and you just found it?" "Um…not…" "I'll give it back to him if you don't want to. Here, hand it here," Naruto grabbed for the book, but Hana moved out of the way, "Hey Naruto, do you want to spar for a while?" "You betcha! I'd love that!"

She placed the book down on the stone wall and went out to meet Naruto in the center of the field. They began to spar with one another when Konohamaru came up to the stone wall and watched them. He watched Naruto get his butt kicked by Hana for a while until he saw Hana's book. He grabbed it and opened it to see the lady that Hana had saw. He blushed and then walked away, giggling, and taking the book with him. He walked back into the Hokage Tower up to his room where he opened the book again and tried to read it—it was too complicated, so he decided to flip through the book instead. He looked at he pictures that would periodically show up throughout it. Most of them show half-naked pictures of women, others showed both half-naked men and women. When he got half way through the book, the door opened and Ebisu walked in to find Konohamaru stashing the stolen book.

"Alrighty, Konohamaru, what are you hiding?" "Nothing, Ebisu-sensei," Konohamaru said trying not to seem guilty. Ebisu didn't get tricked by Konohamaru's face or expression, so he reached behind Konohamaru, under his pillow, and pulled out the stolen book. "What have we got HEEERRREE!?" blood gushed from Ebisu's nose, "How long have you had this and where did you get such a thing, Konohamaru. Hey, it's a new edition," he coughed, "never mind that last sentence," Ebisu asked him as he put the book behind his back. "I found it. What's so bad about it anyway? Naruto's sensei reads it all the time," Konohamaru asked. "It is not for children's eyes, so I will confiscate it and return it to its owner."

Ebisu exited Konohamaru's room and ran off to his own to read the book, but he was stopped by a very young woman with gigantic melons and a very sharp look. Ebisu stared at her chest not realizing who she was when she saw the book in his hand, she confiscated it. "I'm sure Ebisu that you won't visit Konohamaru with this filth, so I will take it just incase." "But I just took it from his, Lord Hokage." "I don't believe it, so off with you, Ebisu."

Ebisu walked back to Konohamaru's room leaving Tsunade in the hall with the latest issue of Makeout Paradise. She shook her head at it the book and walked off down to where the Third Hokage would go when he needed to think.

Out in the field where Naruto and Hana was, Naruto was now tired of getting beat up by Hana, so they went over to the stone wall and took a break. "How do you keep winning, Hana? I try everything, and you still seem to win against me." "Naruto, you still have a ways to go, so don't get discouraged when I beat you, besides I'm not kicking your butt, I'm technically teaching you as we go. You just need to concentrate and leave what you see." "The teaching is me observing your moves?" "Of course, Naruto. I watched you for the longest of times. That is why I can beat you. You must be able to see…," she looked for the book to find it gone, "where did the book go?" "The book? What are you talking about? What book!?" "The book I laid right here, its gone now!" Hana explained. "Oh Kakashi-sensei's book, he probably came and picked it up. Don't worry about it." "I have to find that book, Naruto, if I don't I won't be able to pass my first mission after the Chunin Exams, if I don't get that book back!" Hana told Naruto.

He looked dumbfounded at first, but then he knew who her sensei was, That pervy sage, he will stop at nothing to get people to buy his "research". "Well let's go look for it together. Who do you think could have taken it?" "I don't know, it could have been anyone." "Wait, I remember Konohamaru telling me that he was going to come see me around the time you and I started to spar with one another, but I never saw him. " "Do you think he could have come by, saw it, and ran off with it?" "Maybe, let's go ask him," Naruto suggested, so Hana and him went off toward the Hokage Tower.

They went directly to Konohamaru's room to find him looking out the window, "Hey Konohamaru, Hana needs to ask you a question!" "Yeah boss!" "Konohamaru, were you down at the sparring field earlier?" "Yes, I was." "Did you find a book lying around on the stone wall that was orange?" "Yeah, I brought it up here" "Do you still have it?" Naruto asked. "No, Ebisu took it away from me, I haven't seen it since, but when he came back in, it was gone." "Thanks Konohamaru!" Naruto said. "No problem, Boss!" Konohamaru said with a smile.

Naruto and Hana walked down the hall to where Ebisu's room should be. They knocked and head a voice inside the room, "Just a minute." Naruto and Hana gave each other a puzzled look and then the door opened. "What do you need?" "Ebisu, Konohamaru said you took a book away from him…," Naruto was interrupted by Ebisu, "Yes, it was much too mature of a book for him to be reading, and why is it any business of yours?" "Because it's my book, Ebisu and I would like to have it back, please," Hana told him.

He looked at her and began to laugh, "Yeah right! You're so funny, Hana. You wouldn't buy a book like that…," she gave him a look like she was being serious, "would you?" "Do you have the book or NOT!" Naruto pushed forward. "No, I do NOT and besides aren't you two too young to be reading that garbage anyway!?" Naruto and Hana gave each other a look like "he reads the stuff too" and then Hana asked him on last question, "If you don't have it, then who does?" The Fifth took it from me because she thought I was taking it to Konohamaru." "Thanks, Ebisu. You're a lifesaver!" Hana yelled as her and Naruto ran down the hall in search for Tsunade.

They went through every room in the Hokage Tower looking for her, but they couldn't find her, so they decided to give up. "I can't believe she's not here," Naruto said. "Yeah, she's the Fifth. I bet she's went to hock the book for over 2000 ryo and went to gamble it away," Hana told Naruto as he saw a defeated look across her face. She sat down on the steps and began sulking over her failed mission.

Down near the hot springs of the women's bath, an old perverted man with long white hair, two red stripes on his cheeks, and a mole on his nose was watching the young girls bathe in the hot springs. Suddenly, a dark shadow covered his view, and when he turned around, he saw a pair of huge melons in his face, "I can't call you flat-chested anymore, Tsunade!" She hits him. "You perv. I can't believe you're selling this garbage!" she yelled at him. "Where did you get that?" "I found it in Ebisu's hands on his way to see young Konohamaru. What kind of things are you trying to teach the younger generations these days, old man!?" "OLD MAN! I'm still young and I intend to enjoy what is left of my youth, if it's all right with you GRANDMA!" "What did you just call me, Jiraiya!?" They begin to fight and fuss when Kakashi walks up, "Why are you two fussing in front of the woman's bath house?" I think you should take it to a more appropriate place." Tsunade straightens her kimono up, "That sounds like a very nice idea, let's go OLD MAN!" she says as she grabs his ear and leads him away from the hot springs. Kakashi follows them down to the sparring field.

"Fifth Hokage, where did you get that book?" Kakashi asks. "Ebisu had it on him and I confiscated it." "That looks like the same book Hana had earlier, that's all," Kakashi confessed. Jiraiya gets interested in the conversation, "Did she read it, Kakashi?" Tsunade hits him with the book, "Of course she didn't. Hana's a lady not a perverted dog like you!" Both Kakashi and Jiraiya put their heads down in shame.

Suddenly, Naruto and Hana come back down to the sparring ground. "I can't believe we couldn't find it," Hana said. Naruto nudged her when he saw Tsunade. "What Naruto!? I'm going to fail my first mission after the Chunin Exams, I just know it," "I don't think you will, look," Naruto said pointing at the group.

Hana looked over that way to find Tsunade talking to both Jiraiya and Kakashi with the book in her hand. She ran over, Naruto following her, up to Tsunade, "Tsunade-sensei! Can I have that book back, please?" Tsunade looked down to realize her fears were true, that Hana had indeed purchased the book ad she was going to read it.

"Hana this book is prohibited to anyone under the age of 18 and you are! How did you come across this garb?" "I went to the…," Hana was interrupted by Jiraiya, "She got it from me. I told her she had to read it for a mission in her training." Tsunade gave Hana a look of great misery and then she turned around and started in on Jiraiya again. Finally, Tsunade gave the book back to Hana, "I give up. What are these pervs teaching their students these days?"

She sat down on the stone wall and watched Jiraiya talk to Hana, "I know this task was hard for you and since you went through all the trouble of getting the book and finding it, I'm going to pass you on your first mission and not make you read it." "Nah…I think I will read it," she got disgruntle looks from everyone there, "because I want to know what kind of a person you really are, Jiraiya-sensei. You are after all my mentor and when you give me a mission I plan to finish it. After all that is one of my Nindo, my ninja way," Hana finished.

She smiled as Jiraiya walked up to her and pated her on the head. Soon, everyone left and Hana was left there all alone with her book. She began to read it when she noticed a shadow over her; it was Kakashi. "What's wrong, Kakashi?" "I would like to read that issue when you are finished with it, okay." She gave him a mischievous face and they answered,

"KAKASHI, YOU REALLY ARE A PERV!"

He fell back on his butt which caused her to laugh and he sighed, I'm a perv? Her teacher's the one who writes them. That's really calling the kettle black," he thought as he walked away still wondering if she was going to let him read it when she was done or not.
