Puppet Legend
Chapter 2 - Perverted Hokage
"...I think Konoha's Perverts are going to get a wake-up call tomorrow."
"Good. Now there is one more thing." Sasuke said, looking at the ground uncomfortably.
"What is it?" Naruto asked quickly, leaving his imagination to run wild on its own.
"Well I was wandering if you'd teach me the Kage-Bushin."
"What's wrong, of course I will, after giving me all this stuff..."
"Well I thought it might be a special family Jutsu, or something seeing as it's the only Jutsu you seemed to know."
"No! I learnt it from a secret village scroll I stole off the Hokage ages ago. You won't be able to make as many as me, because I have more chakra..." Naruto suddenly remembered Sasuke knew his secret, "...I mean because of the Kyuubi, but the old man told me the really cool thing about Kage-Bushin is that whatever the clone learns, you learn, so you can use them as scouts and reading really boring stuff, so you know it, but don't have to endure hours of boredom. The old man uses it for paperwork all the time.
Naruto ran through the seals and how the technique worked while Sasuke watched, trying to hide his excitement that obviously came whenever he learned a high rank Jutsu, behind his 'cool' facade. Finally he was able to make two clones appear, and just to show him, why he was master of the technique, Naruto made a hundred.
- NEXT DAY -
"Hokage come quick, enemy Shinobi!" A masked ANBU shouted, running into the Hokage's room to see the old man wearing his battle gear, and looking grim.
"I know, I've just noticed them. I don't know how they managed to slip an army that big past all the guards."
"How many are there Hokage-sama?"
"Probably about fifty, now go and get every available Shinobi we have, quick."
The ANBU promptly Jumped out of the window, and the Hokage followed suit, heading in the opposite direction towards the Village gate.
"Hokage-sama, we don't know what they're doing, they've stopped moving, just stand there watching us. Should we attack?"
The Hokage was just about to answer when he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. Turning round he was faced with a young blond haired girl, wearing nothing, with tiny puffs of smoke covering all the important areas. The Hokage stood there for a few seconds, a small stream of blood trickling down his nose, before he finally registered what he was seeing and flew backwards, blood streaming from his nose.
The rest of the Konoha forces spun round immediately to find out what had sent their great leader flying. All of them were dispatched of in a similar fashion, apart from about fifteen fuming Kunoichi who glared first at the group of nearly naked girls in front of them, and then at the heap of perverts lying in a pool of their own blood a little way off.
After a brief moment of indecision, where the female ninja's alternated between casting angry looks at the girls, and disgusted looks at the men, and even a few jealous glances at the super curvy bodies in front of them.
Kurenai, coming to her senses, realized she was the most experienced person there. "You five, go and see if the men are OK, and find out who those enemy nin are." She said, glaring scornfully at the men of the village, her sometimes date Asuma lying unconscious on top of the pile. "The rest of us, will investigate this, she said, waving a hand behind her." She turned round to find that ten or so young girls had vanished. "Catch them... Alive." She added, noticing that a few other 'boyfriends' lay among the perverts.

Naruto grinned as he noticed the guard that was usually stationed at the entrance to the Uchiha grounds listened intently into his earpiece, then vanished in a Shunshin. He could have jumped over the wall as the guard was mainly there to keep nosey citizens out of the deserted district; however he wanted to know how his plan had gone so far. Obviously successful, as he noticed another two ninsjumping alone the rooftops above him, in too much of a hurry to notice the orange clad Genin walk into the Uchiha Training hall.
He quickly found the key in his pocket, and inserted it into the odd shaped crack in the wall. A door appeared when he turned the key, and Naruto eagerly entered the hidden room.
Glancing round him eagerly, Naruto found his eyes lingering on the object; he knew to be a human puppet, lying in the corner. He knew nothing about the art; apart from what Sasuke had told him, which wasn't much, but for some reason he bent down, and picked up the book he'd been shown yesterday. Feeling a bit Stupid for ignoring the dangerous techniques in the scrolls, and the different lethal looking weapons, he flicked open the first page, and read:
'I'm leaving this village, and hope that someday another will rise with the power and mastery over the puppetry techniques to challenge me to a proper fight. If they win, I will grant them my prize possession, the... Good luck.' The last few words appeared to have been blurred, although Naruto couldn't see that the book had been damaged in any way.
That was all there was. Narutofrowned, and flicked to the next page. It gave in rather brief details the ability to make Chakra strings to control puppets. Naruto could see it would need a lot of work, and turned the page to find the next blank. Quickly he flicked through the rest of the book, only to reveal empty pages. Naruto huffed in annoyance, and threw the book at the puppet.
He got up, and walked over to the shelf of scrolls, picking the first, and read. It gave him an in depth description of what the Sharingan did, and how it was used, but nothing of any use to the blond Jinchūriki. He tried the next one, and was rewarded with a list of Jutsu's and Genjutsu's that were usually taught to Uchiha that developed their Sharingan late, as they all didn't require the bloodline to complete.
Naruto counted ten in total, including the three fire Jutsu's he'd already learnt: 'Katon: Gokakyu noJutsu', great fireball technique, 'Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu', Art of the phoenixwhich created numerous small fireballs, in which shurikens can be hidden,
The third technique he'd learnt was called 'Katon: Anaboko kaenm', flame pit, which created as its name suggested, and large pit with flames at the bottom. Naruto could only manage to make a small version of the technique so far, about the size of a bath tub, however it said on the scroll Sasuke had originally given him that it took time to channel the chakra required through his hands, however when you had the technique down, you could make the pit as big as needed depending on how much chakra you put into the technique. Sasuke had said something about the technique being similar to one the toad Sennin used, but Naruto had never bothered to pay too much attention in History class, so wasn't exactly sure who this Sennin or what his technique was, but his looked cool, and he was starting to get curious as to what would happen if someone was to fall in. The pit went down twenty meters, with vertical sides, and some very hot looking flames at the bottom.
As Naruto didn't know any Genjutsu, he decided to delay learning the four listed, leaving three others. The first created a Blue fire, which was infused with the users Chakra, and continued burning for a few minutes. The advantages were it could be used to trap the enemy, it could burn through a lot more objects, including the ground, and it did a lot more damage to those it hit in combat.
The second make the fire form into a whip, which could be used to block weapons, or capture somebody, although the technique was quite dangerous to use when fighting alone as the user was not able to move, or focus on defending themselves very well.
The third technique created eight rings of fire around the user, in a pattern, so that they were completely surrounded. This couldn't block many Jutsu, and didn't let the user cast many Jutsu apart from other fire ones, however it protected them from hand held weapons, and Taijutsu using opponents as the enemy wouldn't be able to get close enough to hit him. Narutoalso figured it would give him a good chance to escape or move to a new place on the battlefield if he needed to for whatever reason.
Narutopocketed the scroll, and without thinking about it, picked up the puppet book that had knocked away the covering when he had thrown it, revealing the empty face of Sasuke's Aunt. Shuddering at the cold emotionless eyes, he walked to the door, and locked it, breathing an involuntary sigh of relief. There was something about that puppet that seemed real, alive...dismissing the though, Naruto made a Shadow Clone, who Henged into Sasuke, and the two set off down the road together.

The Hokage had woken up about a quarter of an hour after his embarrassing take down, and slowly climbed to his feet, feeling a bit light headed due to the blood loss.
"Hokage-sama, are you alright?" The Hokage recognised the voice of a young Chuunin, and looked around him. There was blood everywhere, and he seemed o be sitting on an ANBU member, his mask a dirty red colour, making him look more than just a bit scary.
"What happened?" He asked, "Is anyone hurt?"
"We don't know Sir, everyone here's fine, and the Ninja who we thought were attacking were just Bushin. You and the other per...men got a bit distracted, and made a fo... passed out." She said, trying to keep her righteous anger in check, while remaining polite and professional in the company of the village leader.
"Oh yeah..." The Hokage murmured in shame, before realizing something. The only person he'd ever seen with a chest that large was Tsunade, and he'd seen at least three with this... distinct feature. Most had blond hair, and looked remarkably similar to a certain prankster: "NARUTO!"
On the other side of Konoha, said blond prankster raised his head, and looked around at the villagers who were all looking at him in confusion and the ever present anger.
"That must be a record." He said to 'Sasuke' ignoring the others that were staring at them as they walked along Konoha's main street. "My personal best is him being knocked out for forty five minutes, but he's been only twenty before. It must have been only about fifteen this time. I hope he isn't becoming immune to my lady like charm."
'Sasuke' merely grunted, trying to keep up his normal indifference, but Naruto noticed the clone snigger to itself as he pretend to cough. "We'd better hurry if we're going to get to team training, Naruto. We're supposed to be fighting Kakashi-sensei today, and I've been practicing a new move that will help me get my revenge." Sasuke drawled.
Naruto noticed the interest they were receiving from those around them, including the proud smile directed at the black haired 'avenger' from an old lady running a store across the street when he mentioned his revenge on Itachi. He smirked, Mission complete, all he had to do now was put Kakashi out of action, and then have some fun with the rest of the village.
The two arrived exactly at around two O'clock to find a fuming Sakura. "You were supposed to be here three hours ago!" She yelled at her teammates, and was about to punch Naruto in the head when Sasuke glared at her. "Do you think it's going to help us against Kakashi if you injure Naruto before he's even got here?"
Sakura mumbled something, and sat down with her back against the bridge, where they often met their sensei.
Naruto nudged Sasuke, and pointed down the road, where Kakashi was walking. Just then a black cat ran out of an ally, and dashed in front of Kakashi. He grinned, right on time.
The silver haired Jonin's eye smiled at his team, when he finally arrived. "Are you ready? Remember to come at me with the intent to kill or..."
"Um...sensei. Didn't you just see that black cat?" Naruto interrupted.
"What?"
"You always run around the village to remove the bad luck of seeing a black cat. Why is it any different this time... unless you've been lying all this time?" Sakura looked up in interest. She was getting just a bit annoyed at their sensei's continuous late appearances.
Kakashi grinned sheepishly behind his facemask, and scratched the back of his neck. "Yeah...I was just getting round to that. Before we have our little fight, we're going to all go for a little jog around the village to warm up."
"Nani!" Sakura yelled at Naruto, "Look where you're showing off got us. Now I have to get all sweaty and dirty running around the village."
"In the sentence: 'let's have a fight tomorrow to test your improvement', how do you define the word 'fight'." Naruto said sarcastically. "It's going to get a lot worse than a little running."
The group set off, Naruto leading the way, followed by a sulking Sakura, as mute Henged clone, and a lazy Jonin wishing he had brought his Icha Icha Paradise book with him, and he didn't have such an annoying team.
They were halfway round the village when Naruto reached into his pocket unnoticed, and dropped a small paper backed book onto the floor. Chuckling to himself, he continued on for a bit, then when he'd travelled far enough, stopped and turned round expectantly. One of his clones had raided the Hokage's office while he'd been knocked out, and picked up that little beauty. Not that he was interested in the perverted little thing, but it appeared someone else was.
'Icha Icha.' Kakashi thought to himself, and bent to pick the little book up. He almost dropped it in surprise, when he read the title. 'This isn't suppose to be released until next month!' Opening up the front cover, he almost fainted. 'Signed by the author!'
"Um Kakashi-sensei are you alright?" Sakura asked. Kakashi shook his head, any thoughts he had of reading it immediately smashed.
"Yeah."He sighed. "Let's go."
They completed the lap, and Kakashi was just about to start talking about their test when:
"Sensei. Is that the most recent Icha Icha book?" Sasuke asked.
"Why?" Kakashi asked, subconsciously holding the book behind his back a little tighter.
"I've started to read some of them, and thought, maybe if it was the most recent edition we should skip this training, and you should read that book. I bet you want to know what happens. I heard that..."
"Stop!" Kakashi almost yelled, ignoring the fact that Sasuke was about eleven, and was apparently reading smut. "Um, Sasuke has a point. Let's have this training session tomorrow, so get some training done for the rest of today, and Sasuke."
"Yeah."
"If you ever want to borrow one of my books...I have all of them...with duplicates."

Naruto spent the rest of the day on the Hokage Mountain, alternating between training with the techniques from earlier, and watching as his army of female clones terrorised the streets of Konoha, sending the men flying with females in hot pursuit waving their rolling pins or Kunai at the clones.
AN: Huge thanks to the people who reviewed, as this story seemed quite popular, I wrote another chapter. I'll move the plot along a bit next chapter, and we might see Kyuubi, depends. If I went a bit too over he top with slapstic or you don't like the chapter tell me, and I might change a few things.
'Apex Predator' asked if he third person in this relationship was going to be Hinata, It won't be. As he said: there are loads of Naruto/Kyuubi/Hinata fics out there, plus I'm no her biggest fan. I haven't decided on who the pairing will be, apart from them not being Hinata, or Sakura. If you have any preferences, then tell me, I'm happy to listen to suggestions and reasons why.
I've made a few edits to the last chapter in terms of spellings, and ANs, but nothing big.
Next chapter won't be up for a bit, got a very important exam Tuesday, and really have to revise.
Thanks for reading, please tell me what you though!
