First off I have to say sorry fans of my other stories if I'm making you feel neglected because the fast updates with this story. But please try to understand that, I'm not in complete control of what story I'm in the mood to write. I think I have a habit of writing more for my new stories, but it will eventually level out at some point. But to be honest I think I'm pretty good when it comes to updates at least for my three main stories. Some stories I'm reading haven't been updated for months so at least be happy I'm not one of those authors. Anyway enough of my senseless ranting, let's just move on with the chapter shall well?

Chapter 8: Welcome back Sasuke

Boring plain and simple is what Iruka's and Mizuki's lessons had always been. But now that he knew everything they were teaching him like the back of his hand the day only seemed to drag on slower.

Naruto grinned at the dull look plastered across Sasuke's face. "Now you know how I felt back when I used to sit in on these classes." Naruto piped in catching Sasuke's attention. "But don't worry we'll be able to make up for lost time during lunch." Naruto whispered.

"Catch up for lost time?" Hinata questioned quietly. "What do you mean by that?"

Naruto smirked. "Sasuke will be going out for a test run." Naruto answered just above a whisper.

"Test run, on whose orders?" Sasuke returned.

"Come on, it'll be perfect practice to put all the practical knowledge I've taught you to good use." Naruto reasoned. "Besides it won't be hard for you anyway, just look these girls will practically throw themselves at your feet."

"Naruto!" Iruka shouted slightly startling the boy. "Is there something you'd like to share with the rest of the class?"

"Actually yes." Naruto answered while standing up. "On behalf of my client Sasuke Uchiha I'd like to let all the females in the class know, that he is still available and will be taking auditions during lunch to pick a suitable significant other or others if you catch my drift. So don't be shy because we all know the preservation of the Uchiha lies on Sasuke's shoulders alone."

The female majority were already eyeing Sasuke like the blood thirty's predators they were.

Meanwhile Sasuke had widened eyes at hearing Naruto's announcement while Iruka slapped his hand over his head. "Damn it Naruto, just sit down."

"What?" Naruto replied innocently. "You did ask if there was something I wanted to say to the class."

"Well I didn't expect you to actually say anything." Iruka countered.

"Then why did you ask in the first place, if you didn't expect me too?" Naruto questioned as he took his seat once again.

"I can't believe you did that." Sasuke stated with his head down on his desk. "This lunch period is going to be hell."

"Um I think you meant to say heaven." Naruto corrected. "Just wait you're going to have the honey's all over you." Naruto claimed as he threw his hands behind his head and slouched back in his chair, completely content with what he had done.

A couple hours later the bell had finally rung signifying that lunch period had begun. But to Sasuke's fan-girls it was merely the signal to who could get to Sasuke first.

"Out of my way Ino-pig!" Sakura shouted as she and Ino struggled to get to Sasuke.

"No chance billow board brow, Sasuke-kun's mine?" Ino retorted.

"Both of you are delusional." Another girl shouted as she tried to make her way by Ino and Sakura only to be grabbed by her ankle and tripped by another would be Sasuke pursuer.

"Were do you think yer goin?" The rather plain looking girl questioned the girl she had tripped. "I'm the only one that Sasuke-kun will share his bed with."

Naruto let out a roar of laughter at seeing the girls squabble. "Hey Sasuke I think we've found you a keeper!" Naruto shouted. "She's already ready to do the naughty with yah!"

"Uh Sasuke-san has already gone." Hinata explained to Naruto who was blissfully unaware that the Uchiha managed to slip away.

Naruto turned his attention to Sasuke's desk and surely enough Sasuke was gone, and replaced with a straw dummy dressed in a similar cloak and mask like he had been wearing.

"Damn it." Naruto hissed. "I can't let him ruin my fun, this is hilarious!" Naruto confirmed, as he spotted his pal Kiba laughing in his desk just as hard as he had been. "Hey Kiba, let's put that nose of yours to work."

Kiba stopped his laughing at being acknowledged and nodded his head. "Sure but, we'll use Akamaru I still haven't gotten that much training in with the little guy." Kiba reasoned as he stood up from his desk and made his way over to Naruto and Hinata. "It really wasn't that smart of Sasuke to leave this dummy here with his sent all over it." Kiba summarized while letting Akamaru sniff the straw dummy."

"It's been years since he's seen you." Naruto summarized "He probably forgot all about your abilities."

"Yeah I wouldn't be surprised." Kiba agreed as Akamaru began to bark. "Looks like he's on to something." Kiba acknowledged while directing the dog to lead them to Sasuke."

Naruto grinned toothily. "Alright lead the way." He ordered.

Meanwhile Sasuke had taken the liberty of hiding himself in one of the stalls in the boy's bathroom. He figured that even the bravest of his fan-girls wouldn't break the boundaries of entering the boy's bathroom just to find him.

'Damn that Naruto.' Sasuke thought as he pulled out his lunch. 'I should have known he'd try some stunt like this.' Sasuke concluded just as the sound of the bathroom door opened and the voices of two conversing girls rang throughout the bathroom.

Sasuke's heart jumped to his throat at hearing the giggling girls. 'Girls! What the hell, for kami's sake I'm in the guys bathroom!...or at least I thought I was…shit did I actually go into the wrong bathroom!'

"So did you hear Ibuki?" One of the girls questioned her friend. "I heard that Sasuke Uchiha actually came back to the academy today, and he's looking for someone to help him rebuild his clan if you catch my meaning."

'Damn it, how the hell could I have done something so stupid!' Sasuke shouted in his mind as he peered through the crack of his stall.

"Oh I catch your meaning Juri." Ibuki answered enthusiastically. "Only Kami knows what I'd do to him if I got my hands on him!"

Juri chuckled. "To be honest I'd feel sorry for Sasuke-kun if he got saddled with you. The way your sick mind works, you'd probably be the man in the relationship."

Sasuke's already pal complexion shifted three shades paler and temporarily forgetting himself his lunch fell to the ground in a loud clatter.

Both girls' heads snapped to attention as they stared at the stall the sound had come from.

"What was that?" Ibuki questioned.

"Sounds like someone decided to have lunch in the bathroom." Juri answered. "Hey who's there!" Juri shouted but of course got no answer. Getting impatient Juri walked up to the stall and began to bang on it. "Hey didn't you hear me I said who's in there?"

Quickly formulating a plan Sasuke pulled his hands in a hand seal.

A moment later Juri stepped back as the stall opened and a raven haired girl walked out.

"Sorry" Sasuke offered in his transformed state. "I just like my privacy is all." Sasuke offered while eyeing the door. "So I'll just be on my way then." He stated while making his way towards the door never noticing the grin on Juri's face.

"Oh before you go there's just one thing." Juri piped in.

"What's that?" Sasuke questioned as he reached for the handle of the door.

"What's a girl doing in the boy's bathroom?" Juri questioned innocently.

Sasuke eyes' widened as he made to turn around only to be struck in the stomach by Ibuki.

Sasuke's face portrayed pure confusion as his henge dispersed and he collapsed over unconscious.

Juri let out a roar of laughter, as she and Ibuki both popped into clouds of smoke revealing Naruto and Hinata in their place.

"Good work Hinata-chan he never saw it coming." Naruto praised Hinata. "And you played your part well, almost too well." Naruto added while smirking. "So exactly what is it you'd do to Sasuke if you got your hands on him?"

"I was just playing my part is all Naruto-kun." Hinata defended. "Although I hope Sasuke-san isn't angry for me knocking him out."

"Don't worry I tell him it was Kiba that knocked him out when he comes too." Naruto offered while hefting Sasuke over his shoulder like luggage, and making his way for the exit with Hinata following close behind.

Once they exited Kiba was already waiting for them outside the bathroom.

"So it looks like you guys were able to catch him after all." Kiba summarized thoughtfully. "Now what the hell are you going to do with him?"

Naruto grinned mischievously. "Nothing much, just about to give Sasuke's adoring fans what they've always wanted."

"You wouldn't?" Kiba gaped.

"Oh but I would, and I will." Naruto confirmed while grinning like an idiot. "Now let's go, Hinata-chan says we only have ten minutes before he wakes up, so help me get the booth set up."


(Ten Minutes Later)

Sasuke could faintly hear the sound of chatter, and a lot of it. As his vision finally began to return to him he could vaguely make out a line of people, girls to be more precise.

"What's going on?" Sasuke asked a bit groggy from being knocked out. "And why can't I move?" Sasuke added as he finally took note of his bindings that had him firmly strapped to a chair.

"Hehe, are you comfortable Sasuke?" Naruto asked with a chuckle.

Not seeing the amusement in the situation Sasuke glared at Naruto. "What the hell is going on?"

"Can't you tell, it's a kissing booth?" Naruto answered casually.

"Kissing booth!" Sasuke shouted as he tried to free himself from his bindings. "Why are you doing this to me, I thought we were friends?"

"We are, but I had to take drastic measures considering you wanted to disregard everything I've taught you." Naruto reasoned. "Now sit tight, we've got a lot of clients to get through, with only lunch period to do so."

"I haven't disregarded what you've taught me." Sasuke assured Naruto. "I just don't feel this is the time to implement them until I've generally met a girl that arouses my interest."

Naruto merely sighed. "You know Sasuke, I'm pretty sure every guy here would love to be in your shoes right about now." Naruto tried to explain to Sasuke, before crouching down and whispering into his ear. "Besides we're going to make a killing off of this, just look at all these girls lined up. Now cheer up your fist customer is here."

Sasuke looked up from his position to see one Ino Yamanaka step forward with a triumphant grin on her face, with a crestfallen Sakura behind her.

"It's too bad for you your pockets aren't as big as your forehead Sakura." Ino mocked.

"Just shut it Ino, it didn't cross my mind to bring so much extra cash today." Sakura retorted. "But damn it only if I had Sasuke-kun's first kiss would have been mine!"

"You sold my first kiss to the highest bidder?" Sasuke asked in disbelief.

"Hehe, aren't' I a genius?" Naruto congratulated himself.

"No you're a dead man." Sasuke countered.

"Whatever you say Sasuke, now pucker up." Naruto commanded.

"Fine but I'm keeping the mask on." Sasuke replied as he leaned forward to kiss Ino.

"I don't think so." Naruto retorted as he pulled Sasuke's mask down, causing the Uchiha to glare at him.

Meanwhile Ino could hardly believe her dreams of stealing Sasuke's first kiss were coming true as she leaned forward and closed her eyes. After a brief pause Ino's lips met with Sasuke's and silence was accompanied with it, before an uproar in laughter.

Not understanding what the hell could be so funny Ino opened her eyes and stared in shock, for Sasuke wasn't the one she was kissing, but some how it was Kiba!

Pulling away as fast as she could, she stared at the blushing Kiba bound and tied in Sasuke's position with shock. "How the hell did I end up kissing mutt boy!" Ino shouted with her own blush.

A snicker a short distance away gave Ino her answer. "Sorry not that easy." Sasuke explained coolly from his position sitting on a tree branch with an amused expression on his face. "The many uses for a Kawarimi." Sasuke stated before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

"What gives Naruto!" Sakura shouted. "You said this was full proof."

"Sorry" Naruto replied dumbly. "I didn't even take it into account that Sasuke may have mastered the Kawarimi to that degree."

Sakura sighed. "Well at least Sasuke-kun looked extra cool doing it, and to top it off he made Ino look like a complete baka." Sakura added while she and the rest of the girls that had been lined up began to disperse.

As this was going on Hinata was assisting Akamaru in freeing Kiba from his bindings. "Sorry Sasuke-san was able to get the better of us." Hinata offered as the ropes fell to the ground.

"What are you apologizing for?" Kiba questioned. "If anything I'm glad he swapped places with me, because kissing Ino was awesome!"

"Well don't get used to it!" Ino shouted with a pink tent still on her face. "Because that's the last time it'll ever happen!"

Kiba grinned toothily. "I don't know Ino-chan, there has to be a reason you're still hanging around." Kiba challenged. "I'd say you want seconds."

Ino blushed a deeper shade of red before turning on her heels. "Keep dreaming you flee bag." Ino retorted before storming off.

After Ino had gone Naruto wrapped his arm around Kiba's shoulder. "Don't worry when a girl blushes at you like that it usually means something." Naruto assured Kiba while grinning at Hinata. "Isn't that right honey-chan?"

Hinata blushed at what Naruto had been insinuating. "It is possible." Hinata answered softly.

"Told yah." Naruto answered. "Now let's head back to class, lunch will be ending soon anyway."

Kiba and Hinata nodded their agreement.

Meanwhile three figures watched the interactions from a good distance away.

"So this is the crop we've got to work with eh?" A burly man with a rugged beard connecting to his sideburns mused. "To be honest this Naruto isn't quite what I expected." He added while lighting a cigarette.

"What makes you think that Asuma?" Kakashi questioned as he turned the page in his favorite orange novel.

Asuma blew out a steady stream of smoke. "On paper his credentials are a head above the rest. To take the standing of top student with only six straight months to work with is quite a feat." Asuma summarized. "I guess I'm trying to say is most geniuses are either completely weird like yourself or very cold and calm like last years top ranked rookie Neji Hyuuga. But Naruto genuinely seems like a free spirited goof ball."

Kakashi smirked beneath his mask. "Don't let that side of Naruto fool you." Kakashi explained. "Eventually you'll see he's well worth the title genius."

"I don't doubt it." Asuma agreed. "After all he's been training with you and Master Jiraiya all of his life, one could only imagine what he's capable of." Asuma summarized. "Makes me almost jealous you get to have him on your team Mikoto."

"As a Sensei I'd expect you to be more thrilled about teaching students that will benefit more from what you have to show them." Mikoto countered.

"So you'd rather not have someone as talented in place of Naruto then?" Asuma challenged.

Mikoto smirked. "Now I didn't say that." Mikoto answered.


(A week Later)

The passed week had gone by relatively uneventful. No more attempts on Sasuke were made considering he'd kept a constant guard up when around Naruto, to not give his overzealous friend any opportunity to humiliate him.

Meanwhile Iruka was in the middle of explaining how the final Genin exam was comprised of a simple transformation, substitution, and clone jutsu demonstration. How the hell anyone could fail that was beyond most of the students in the class.

As this was going on Naruto was in his own world as he stared around at all the Genin hopefuls. In the rare moments that his mind wasn't occupied on girls, he'd ponder on the classmates he hadn't got the opportunity to learn more about.

His first intrigue was a quiet boy by the name of Shino Aburame. From what he knew of the boy he was definitely anti social if that was because the boy chose to be, or simply for the fact that no one had really opened up to him, Naruto really didn't know. But if he were certain about anything regarding the Aburame, was that his ninja abilities were something to marvel at. Graduating their exam would be a breeze for the Aburame Naruto accessed.

Second on Naruto's list was the lazy Nara kid, whom even proved too much of an enigma for Naruto to decipherer. What Naruto had the most difficulty understanding about the Nara was how he was rarely even conscious throughout class, yet managed to answer any question thrown his way. Either the boy was extremely lucky or extremely smart, either way Naruto had no doubt in Shikamaru's chances for passing.

The last person Naruto pondered on was Choji. To be frank Naruto believed Choji was a fairly capable student but do to his weight was undermined by his peers. This was something that bothered Naruto immensely considering Choji was easily one of the nicest kids in the class. He'd figured maybe some time down the road he could share his wisdom with Choji and hopes that he would at least be able to pull a decent girl in the future.

Naruto's attention was suddenly brought back to reality by the sound of Mizuki appearing in a cloud of smoke with a table behind him littered with leaf hitai-ate.

"Perfect timing." Iruka stated to Mizuki before he continued. "We'll start with volunteers first, then I'll start picking at random." Iruka explained. "So if there is anyone that would like to go please step forward."

'May as well get this over with.' Naruto thought as he stood up. "I'll take a crack at it." Naruto announced."

"Fine come down then Naruto." Iruka offered.

Naruto nodded his head and strolled down to the front of the classroom casually.

"Alright before we begin, I don't want any funny business out of you." Iruka warned.

"I get it, no funny business." Naruto groaned. "Now what do you want me to perform first?"

Iruka nodded to Mizuki, and Mizuki pulled out a yard stick from behind his desk.

"You're going to perform a substitution first." Iruka explained while jabbing his thumb at the nearby log in the corner of the room. "Perform the Jutsu and Mizuki will whack you across the head with that yard stick. If you perform the Jutsu successfully you'll be replaced with the log and escape unharmed."

Naruto yawned and buried his hands in his pockets. "Ready whenever you are." Naruto confirmed.

Mizuki had a quirked eyebrow, but obliged none the less and drove the yard stick directly into the back of Naruto's head. "Ouch damn it!" Naruto shouted while gripping his now bleeding head.

"But you said you were ready." Mizuki tired to defend only for Naruto to pop into a cloud of smoke revealing the log in his place.

"Haha you should have seen your face." Naruto mocked from the corner of the room, with a triumphant grin across his face.

"Don't show off too much." Sasuke jested with a smirk.

"No more so then your performance last week." Naruto countered.

Meanwhile Iruka smiled approvingly. 'That was quite impressive. The entire point of the Kawarimi is to make the enemy think their attack was successful and Naruto pulled it off flawlessly.'

"Alright Naruto, let's see a clone Jutsu, then a transformation and it's a wrap." Iruka explained.

"I'll do you one better." Naruto offered as he placed his hands in a hand seal and muttered. "Shadow clone Jutsu." The class room became shrouded in smoke and when it cleared ten perfect replicas of grinning Naruto's were now present."

"Very good Naruto, what I'd expected of you." Iruka acknowledged. "Now the last thing you have to do is perform a transformation. And I don't mean your sexy Jutsu." Iruka warned, as he recalled his own run in with the perverted maneuver.

Naruto groaned considering he'd had plans to play that trick on Iruka one last time. "Fine." Naruto mumbled as his clones began to transform into random civilians. "Is that good enough for you?"

Iruka nodded. "That'll do Naruto." He confirmed before handing the boy his new leaf head band. "Congratulations and welcome to the rank Genin."

The class cheered for Naruto, considering that confidence had grown after seeing how easy Naruto had completed the exam.

The next person to volunteer was Sasuke, and the testing proceeded as so.

Alrighty that was chapter eight. I hope you enjoyed it. Next chapter will have team placement and the real Genin test you know all that jazz and what not. As for Mizuki I decided it would be pointless to do anything with him at this point. Because the hatred for Naruto in this story isn't much considering he was never really around to begin with, so a lot of people had never even came into contact with him. So they would need to find different ways to vent their anger. Anyway please review and I'll catch you with the next chapter.
