Yo! ShadowRonin is here! The war is over, and everyone who isn't a ninja is helping the ninjas rebuild the village. But wait! Koji won't just sit around and do nothing. He is going to be assigned a mission, along with Naruto and Kiba! Read and Rejoice!

Chapter 7: A Time to Heal. Koji's Big Adventure w/ Naruto and Kiba.

Koji yawned as he slowly got up. He realized that he was in a room that held white ceilings and walls. Either he was dead, or he had gone insane. "I see you finally woke up." Or he could be in a hospital. "Ng. What happened?" Koji asked, slowly getting up.

"I would like to know. You've been unconscious for a week." Tsunade said. "A week, eh? That's not cool." Koji said, as though it were normal. "You're acting real nonchalant about this." Tsunade said, and Koji smirked at her. "I believe worrying about what's happened in the past is pointless." Koji said, and he noticed the pile of stuff on his bedside.

"Some of the nin in Konoha were grateful for you willingly fighting back the Snake while we dealt with the big guns." Tsunade said, and noticed Koji beginning to get up. "Oh no, you aren't ready to leave just yet! Your charka is still fairly low." Koji heard her, but he didn't want to stay. "How long?" "I'd say about another day or two." Koji groaned.

(Time Skip: A Few Hours)

It was now 12:00 noon. Kin, Dosu, and Zaku were visiting the Spark Nin, who has been in this hospital for a week. They found his room okay, but was surprised when they saw Koji sitting on the side of his bed, eating an apple, without a shirt. Zaku and Dosu almost let out a chuckle when they saw Kin turn a very dark red, and avert her gaze elsewhere.

"Hey! You guys finally visit!" Koji said with an n.n look. "Sure, we had nothing better to do." Dosu said, and Koji sighed. "What's with Kin? She's turning red as hell. You have a fever?" Koji asked, placing his hand on her forehead. Her blush got even deeper, and there was only one word going through their heads.

(Dense Blockhead.) "So, how long you in for?" Zaku asked. "After today, I think I'm free." Koji said, and Zaku smirked. "You were real banged up." Dosu said. "Yeah yeah. All in a day's work." Koji said. He grabbed a water bottle, and popped it open. "Once I get out of here, I got to find something fun to do." Koji said.

"We would love to stay, but Shiro-sama needs us for something." Dosu said, and the three left. "Well, 23 hours, and 45 minutes to freedom." Koji said, sighing.

(A Day Later)

The next day, Koji was freed from the hospital, despite the bandages he had on his face and body. "Seems like this village is so boring and peaceful." Koji said, until he saw Jiraiya peeking in the girl's bathhouse.

"Hey, senile old man who's openly perverse. Why are you being so openly perverse?" Koji asked, as Jiraiya turned to look at him. "None of your business, brat. Shoo!" He said, and Koji gave him a bored look. "Who are you?" Koji asked, as Jiraiya began his usual flashy intro.

"I am the great hero of justice! I am the one lusted by many women and envied by men! I am Jiraiya, the Toad Sage!!" Jiraiya said, his hand outstretched, and his legs spread. There was an ominous wind, followed a tumbleweed rolling by, before Koji turned.

"Let's see how the Hokage handles perverts." Koji said, before Jiraiya was in front of him, smiling. "How would you like a bribe?" Jiraiya asked. Koji looked on, and smirked.

(Different Part of Konoha)

How in the hell did this happen!?!? What started as a bribe from Jiraiya somehow came to him infiltrating the Girl's Grand Bathhouse. Oh, but he wasn't alone. Naruto had been fooled into doing this as well. Kiba? He's just along for the ride.

So here was the plan. Using a Transformation Jutsu, they would infiltrate the Hotspring, and get Jiraiya some pictures or stories. But of course, since Naruto is a loud dumbass, Kiba is a wilder version of Naruto, and Koji has horrible luck, something would obviously go wrong.

Well, they infiltrated the place perfectly. Hell, they made it in there without any trouble. But it all went downhill once they came to where the bathhouses were, and heard Sakura and Ino's voices.

"Hey, let's peek and see what they are doing!" Kiba said, and Naruto nodded in agreement. Koji would have argued against, but watching naked girls was something he deemed okay. So, using three holes they made using kunai, they masked their chakra and watched through peepholes.

Sakura and Ino were speaking rather animatedly about something, but they couldn't hear a thing. "Wonder what they are talking about." Koji said, and both of his partners in crime looked at him. "Who knows. Something girly I bet." Kiba said, and Naruto sighed. "I'm hungry! Let's get ramen!" Naruto semi-screamed, and Koji bopped him in the head.

"Shut it! Kiba, did they sense us?" Koji asked. Kiba looked into the peep hole, but they acted as though they heard nothing. "We're good." Kiba said, and Koji gave Naruto a stern look. Then, they began to hear some of the things that Sakura and Ino were saying.

"You know Sakura, there's something I've been meaning to tell you." Ino said, and Koji, Naruto, and Kiba ran to their respective peepholes. "What is it Ino?" Sakura asked. "I think there's something you need to know." Koji and his team were beginning to sweat. This was looking hot.

"What Ino?" Sakura asked. The three boys held gasps when Ino pressed her body onto Sakura's, in a seductive manner. "I want you." Ino said, as they both slowly lowered into the water. This display was affecting the boys real greatly, their little soldiers were asking to come and play.

This little show would have continued, but Koji caught one single movement that screwed them over. Sakura glanced in their direction, and her glance caught Koji's for one moment. Koji's eyes turned to dots, and he looked to Naruto and Kiba, who looked like blood was beginning to flow from their noses.

"Guys, we should leave now." Koji said, grabbing them, and slowly walking away. "How come?" Kiba and Naruto asked as Koji dragged them slowly. Just then, a boulder flew through the wall, landing where the three were just standing. "BUSTED!!!" All three screamed, running for their lives.

(Another part of the Bathhouse)

"I knew this was too good to be true!" Koji said. "They knew?" Naruto asked. "Yeah. They were just giving a show to distract us, and then blast us with the rock." Koji said. "Think they know it was us?" Kiba asked.

"NAAAARUUUUUTOOOOOO!!!" Sakura screamed, and Naruto began anime crying. "You're dead." Kiba and Koji said. "You guys, if they catch me, Sakura will use her super strength and crush my skull!" Naruto said. "Super strength?" Koji asked. "I've seen it. She created a crater just by punching the ground." Kiba said, and Koji started sweating.

"I say we drop Naruto, and use him as a sacrifice." Koji said, and Naruto began sweating because his tone was dead serious. "I second." Kiba said, and Naruto really began sweating. "You guys are joking right?" Naruto asked, nervous. The sneer Kiba and Koji gave him sent chills down his spine. "Sacrifices must be made for the…" Kiba started before he began sniffing the air.

"Shit!" Kiba said, and Naruto and Koji gave him confused looks. "Akamaru came out of hiding, and plans on helping them." Kiba said, and Koji groaned. "We're dead." Koji said. "What's the plan?" Naruto asked. "What else. GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!!" Koji screamed.

(The area Koji and friends are heading to)

Tenten and Hinata were getting ready to join Sakura and Ino in the Hot spring, before they saw three nin turn the corner. Koji sharply turned, keeping his top speed. Kiba slid on the ground, and began running. Naruto? He ran along the wall, and began running again.

"Isn't that Kiba and Naruto?" Tenten asked, ignoring Hinata's crimson blush. "Who is the third boy?" Tenten asked. "Pardon!" Koji said, running in between them. "Move it!" Kiba said, barreling between them. Tenten stepped out of the way, but Hinata was clipped, and began spinning like a top. Naruto ran dead into her, and they both tumbled to the ground, spirals for eyes.

A Shadow Clone of Koji appeared, and grabbed Naruto, who had a death grip on Hinata. "What the hell?" Tenten asked, confused. Then, the anime lightbulb went off, and Tenten had a scary look. "Why were they in a GIRLS ONLY bathhouse?"

(Down the hallway)

"You had to pick up a passenger, didn't you Naruto?" The real Koji said, as his clone was heaving Naruto and Hinata. "Dammit. Drop him off somewhere." Kiba said. "Can't. If I abandon him, he may help them catch us out of spite." Koji said, and Kiba nodded in understanding.

"At least she has clothes on." Koji said. Naruto eventually came to, and realized that they were still in the bathhouse. "Ah! Why are we still here?" Naruto screamed, generating the attention of even more women. "Fuck!" Kiba and Koji screamed, as Naruto regained his own footing.

"Perverts!!" "Jiraiya must have gained a new gang!" "One of them has a girl! Bet he's going to do unspeakable things to her!"

"What the hell was that last one about!?" Naruto screamed. "You mean you have yet to notice that you are holding Hinata-chan?" Kiba said, and realization hit him like a hammer. "You truly are a dumbass!" Kiba screamed. "Just drop her on that bench!" Koji said.

They stopped, as Naruto carefully laid Hinata out. They were about to start running again, but a bar of soap hit Koji dead in the face. Koji hit the ground, and had spiral eyes. Naruto and Kiba sweat dropped, and glanced at each other.

"Tenten." They both said. Naruto tossed a bucket of water on Koji's face, and he jumped up. "Where did you get a bucket?" Kiba asked. "Does it matter? Let's run!!" Naruto screamed, and they took off.

(Somewhere in Konoha)

After getting out of there, with their lives intact, they decided to hide out. Kiba hid out at Shino's place, Naruto went to the old Uchiha Compound, and Koji was dead.

"Shit! Naruto and Kiba have a place to wait for the heat to die out. Where can I go?" Koji asked. "You look troubled." Koji saw that it was some boy in a green headband. He also had on the standard Chuunin outfit for the Rock Village. "And you are?" Koji asked.

"Oh, pardon me. I'm Sanosuke Kazeyama." Sanosuke said, and Koji looked at him warily. "Don't worry. I know Kin." Koji smirked, and shook his hand. "I heard the problem at the hot spring." Koji nodded slowly, and Sanosuke sighed. "Let's get ramen." Before he could explain that being in the open is the last thing the girls would expect, Koji shouted a yeah.

"Alright! Food!" Koji screamed, and ran towards Ichiraku Ramen. Sanosuke sat for a moment and began counting. "5…4…3…2…1…" Koji then reappeared, looking a little annoyed. "How do we get there?" Koji asked. "Follow me." Sanosuke said, and he followed him.

(At Ichiraku Ramen)

After polishing 5 bowls, Sanosuke and Koji sat. "So, your not from this village. What do you plan to do?" Sanosuke asked. "Well, I plan on traveling the land. I want to see the 5 villages where the Kages hail from. I'm in Konoha now, but I want to see the other villages." Koji said.

"So, you're a traveler?" Sanosuke asked. "Yep! I love seeing the world. So, what about you?" Koji asked. "I don't know. I've been branded a traitor of my village, so I guess I can only travel." Sanosuke said. "Then you should travel with me." Koji said, and Sanosuke looked at him confused.

"You obviously have no particular destination in mind, and I could use someone to travel with. So what do you say?" Koji asked. "Sure. That would be good." Sanosuke said. "Great! Welcome aboard, Sano!" Koji said, and Sanosuke shook his head in amusement.

After finishing their ramen, Koji and Sanosuke were heading back to the inn. "Well, I avoided being killed by killer Konoha Kunoichi, I got to be a Peeping Tom, and I got ramen. Today was a good day." Koji said.

"Apparently, it's going to get bad." Sanosuke said. Koji looked at him confused, before he noticed pink locks near the hotel. Koji looked really panicked, but then calmed down. He used Transformation Jutsu to change his appearance, and they both walked to the hotel.

"This isn't going to work." Sanosuke said. "Of course it is. I've locked my normal chakra and only my electric chakra is running enough so that I don't get stunned." Koji said. "You can do that?" Sanosuke asked. "Desperate times call for desperate measures." Koji said.

They walked to the hotel, and walked by the girls going inside. "Freeze!" Sakura said, and Koji and Sanosuke both froze on the spot. "You, without the headband. Come here!" Ino said. Koji silently complied, and Ino and Sakura looked him over.

"Are you sure Hinata? He's under a Transformation Jutsu?" Ino asked. (How could they know!? I only have my electric chakra running.) Koji thought to himself. "Release!" Tenten commanded, and Koji's Transformation Jutsu went up in smokes. (Fuck!) Koji thought to himself, panicking.

"You were with Naruto and Kiba weren't you!?" Sakura screamed, cracking her knuckles. "Umm…err…Of course not! Who's Naruto and Kiba!?" Koji said, sweating like crazy. He tried to look for Sanosuke, but he was gone in an instant.

"Here's the picture they gave to us about their leader in their scheme." Ino said, and Koji took a look at the picture. (Damn! This thing is accurate, right down to the eyes.) Koji thought in mortification. He was dead. "Umm…yeah…well…" Koji started, before he decided to hell with it.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Koji screamed, and 14 other Koji's appeared. "SCATTER!!!" He screamed, and they all took off in different directions.

Koji prayed his plan would work. Before they all scattered, he did a Substitution Jutsu with a nice sized rock, and hid. The girls seemed to fall for the trick, and he walked out of the bush. "Guess I pull victory out of defeat." Koji said. "SHANNARO!!!" Koji turned to look, and was hit dead in the face by Sakura. (Defeat snatched from the jaws of Victory.) Koji thought to himself, blacking out.

(In the Hospital.)

When Koji came to, he realized he was in the hospital again, and he was bandaged up again. "You seem to be quite good at staying in the hospital." Koji turned, and saw Tsunade looking at him, smirking. "I didn't do this on purpose! Some old perv with white hair put me up to it." Koji said, and Tsunade smiled at him.

"You mean him?" Tsuande asked, and Koji saw that Jiraiya was there as well, looking way worse than Koji was. "Kiba and Naruto explained what happened before the girls found you. I wasn't in time to stop them." Tsunade said.

"Hn. What's happened is in the past. No point in crying over it." Koji said, but he did glare harshly at Jiraiya. "Your lucky I don't hold grudges, old man." Koji said. It was silent for a few seconds, before Koji sighed.

"At least the sights I saw made it all worth it." Koji said, and Jiraiya groaned in irritation. "Lucky Bastard!"

ShadowRonin: That my friends is Chapter 7. Before I get any reviews asking about it, because I know someone will, Ino and Sakura are NOT gay. There will be no Yuri, and there damn will never be anything close to Yaoi in this, or any of my other fics. Not that I have anything wrong with Yuri. I am a guy after all.

Koji: You have a problem with Yaoi?

ShadowRonin: In the Naruto-verse, Yes.

Sanosuke: How come?

ShadowRonin: If any of the characters actually exhibited any signs of being gay towards another character, or admitted to being gay, then it would be okay. But half the shit on this site isn't even logical.

Koji: Umm…Shadow-sama…

ShadowRonin: Let's touch base, shall we! I'll start with Naruto and Sasuke! That is the most used, and frankly, most biggest piece of sh-

Sanosuke: You might not want to go there, Shadow-sama. Though it may be your opinion, some girls, preferably Asian, love that pairing. Besides, some of the people who read this story may like Yaoi. Don't want to single them out, or cause them to write hate-reviews/mail towards you.

Koji: Read and Review while we get Shadow-sama to calm down.
