Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the Naruto franchises, I do not get any money out of this. But I do own the bunny that seems to be chasing Naruto around in my head.

It had been a month since the C-ranked mission turned B-rank. During this time they had done a few other C-ranks. The first was guarding a transport from thieves, this time without the extra ninja interference, though Naruto did get a nice chakra dagger off one of the minor thieves (he apparently didn't even know its value and was just using it to peel potatoes).

Another had them guard a wedding of a nobleman and his past mistress now turned wife, nothing really happened except a drunken brawl which they quickly diffused, apparently two of the guest were arguing about who would be allowed to court the ex-wife. Hinata and Anko had been quite vindictive towards those two.

Then the last mission was quite boring, just guarding a signing of a trade contract between two villages, Naruto wanted a little more challenge in his missions, he knew he should work his way up, but he was used to doing S-ranked missions during the war against Madara. So he was getting a bit bored with just D and C-rank, luckily for him, his boredom had been interrupted tonight. Not even Hinata summoning and once again getting reacquainted with her personal summon Shingetsu, the Alpha's son, had been able to stop his boredom.

During the night him, Hinata and Kyu had once again pranked Konoha, unfortunately for the village, their security still lacked finesse. The only one whose security had been upgraded had been the Aburame clan, probably because Naruto had discovered a flaw in their security and since they were logical people, once a flaw has been exposed they try to correct it if possible. Also their sensei's houses had been considered off limits, Anko's mainly because it scared the hell out of Naruto and they knew that if they were caught, the things she would do to them were just too horrendous to imagine, plus her place was second only to the Namikaze compound in its defense. His old apartment was apparently also quite well guarded though that was only from him entering.

The three of them were once again cuddling atop the Fourths head when the sun rose, deciding it was just about time to activate the pranks, all at the same time like last time, though his pranks did get a lot more serious. Cracking his knuckles and rolling his shoulders, Naruto placed his hand in the familiar sign, amassed his chakra and once again called out," Fuin no jutsu: Itazura shīru; Kai". Getting poofs from every compound expect those previously mentioned, even Hokage Tower wasn't spared.

The Inuzaka compound was completely covered in catnip, making the entire cat population of Konoha converge on that location, even Tora was lured there.

The Yamanaka clan compound and flower shop had been hit by a rancid smell, even making some of the flowers wilt a little though nothing permanent.

The Uchiha compound was covered in glue and goose feathers. Sasuke, who had been just getting up, had also been covered making his head truly look like the ducks ass it normally resembled.

The Nara clan woke up to find their herd of deer all looked like Rudolf, with shiny red noses and Christmas ornaments hanging from their antlers.

The Akamichi clan didn't immediately notice anything wrong until they opened their refrigerators to notice that all their food and soda had been replacedo with low fat foot and diet sodas. Once they got over their initial shock they quickly rushed towards their secret stashes, only to find them switched as well.

The Haruno household, had all their mirrors changed into funhouse mirrors, making them look fatter and uglier. Hinata had apparently also changed all the kunai into toy kunai, just to make a point, though she did wonder whether or not they would notice.

The ANBU headquarters and Hokage Tower had also been thoroughly pranked, the secretary found that every time she sat down, a loud fart would sound, it was a classic but still funny. The Hokage's pipe was swapped with a bubble pipe, the ones were you put in soap water instead of tobacco and the normal Hokage garb had been traded for a smoking jacket, making the Hokage look like a carbon copy of Hugh Hefner, especially once he started reading in his perverted book.

The ANBU Interrogation and Temporary Holding Department had a fluffy bunny infestation, making one captive go completely nuts.

The ANBU Patrol and Mission Assignment Department had gotten all nice bright orange suits with multicolored flowers, their normal masks had been changed into clown masks with the big red nose and lastly all their shoes were turned into clown shoes.

The only department that didn't get hit was the high security prison where the worst of criminals resided. They had tried but found that security was definitely good there, nearly getting themselves caught.

The entrance of the village had also been hit. Izumo now looked much like a certain German leader who had a strong dislike for those of Jewish descent, even his hair laid down the same. As for Kotetsu, well he now looked like a certain leather wearing biker from some famous band. (B/N: I know this brings up lots of questions like, "How did they know about Hitler, is the narutoverse the future?" and such but just go with it.)

However it had been the Hyuuga compound, the people with the all seeing eyes, that were hit the hardest. The entire compound had been made into glass expect for certain parts of the bathroom and of course the library. It was quite funny that the people with the all seeing eye now were getting seen from everywhere. But the finest prank that Naruto had pulled was make it look like the statue of the first ever Hyuuga that could be found in the inner shrine now had a stick up his ass but was still smiling. However the Hyuuga elders didn't find it quite so funny that their holy inner shrine, that of course only the main family was allowed to be in, had been defaced.

So once again, just like a month ago, the village woke up to find Naruto being chased by a group of angry shinobi and kunoichi, mainly the Akamichi, Hyuuga, Haruno and Yamanaka, and of course ANBU still wearing their clown costumes the only difference being that Hinata was now running alongside him. The Nara were too lazy to give chase and found it quite funny, the Inuzaka were still fighting off the cats, the people working in the Interrogation Department were caging all the bunnies, and the guards of the gate were still laughing too hard to be of any use. There were also some of the minor clans and villagers who were once again covered in paint.

And through this all nobody noticed the fact that Hatake Kakashi wasn't in the chase, no he was still in too much shock, Hinata and Kyu had been the one to do his house, though this was more a revenge prank than anything else, they had switched all his Icha Icha books with Hade Hade books (gay gay books), the movies they had switched with all male versions, all of them, including the mask fetish themed ones, and even his Pureibōi (playboy) had been switched with Purēgāru( playgirl), needless to say, Kakashi's mind just shut down there and then.

Once again it had been Tenzõ and Yuugao who, after everyone had give up thanks to their unbelievable ability for stealth, had finally caught them, this time without another ANBU there. It seemed that they thought their costumes were unbelievably funny and even silently applauded them, they praised the pranksters stealth skills and said that were it not for the fact that both had been somewhat tired they probably would've never caught them. Naruto and Hinata beamed at this, knowing that at least their stealth skills were back where they had been before the time travel and nobody could really blame them, they had been hunted for at least an hour and hadn't even slept since the last morning.

Arriving at the Hokage's office, they could almost feel the Hokage beam at them, it first surprised the two ANBU when the Hokage congratulated the two pranksters however once they learned of the reason, they also thanked the two of them. And then asked them where their original gear was located, even they found the prank hilarious it would be bad for bussines if they were caught on missions in clown suits which Naruto and Hinata agreed to and so of course gave them the gear back in a scroll. Naruto even gave Tenzo and Yuugao a scroll where in was explained just where the security of both Hokage Tower and ANBU Main Headquarters could do better and just how they went around the current security. Thanking both Hinata and Naruto for their service, the two ANBU quickly went back to their headquarters to explain what happened and return the gear to the others.

Once both had left the Hokage activated the seals and nodded, signalling them to start their report.

"Okay as you know Hokage-sama," began Hinata," you ordered us to once again test the defences around the clan compound and village a month after the last prank. However it seems that the clans didn't take our previous prank seriously and as such didn't take any measure whatsoever to tighten security, not even here in the tower. On another note, I would suggest you give most of your ANBU a fixed training schedule cause it is quite clear that they do not train enough on their own. Both me and Naruto have better stamina than most ANBU and Jounin. Though I must admit that we both have very high stamina, Naruto thanks to the Kyuubi and me cause I need it to keep up with this hyperactive idiot." at which Naruto exclaimed, "Hey!" but went silent again when he was whacked on the head by the Hokage with the bubble pipe, after all the Hokage kinda like the pipe and this outfit, however he would still have to change back before continuing his business later on.

Before Hinata could continue, their meeting was interrupted by an ANBU, who while shocked to see the two of them alone with the Hokage, just turned towards the Hokage and said:" Sir, the Council members have decided to have an emergency meeting probably pertaining to the incident this morning, eyening a grinning Naruto and a smiling Hinata.

"And Sir, it might not be my business but why are these two here?" asked the ANBU.

"You're right it isn't your business, but go back to headquarters all will be explained there. And I will leave immediately." said the Hokage before dismissing the ANBU, who was still wearing the clown suit and got up.

"Well why don't you two join me while I go deal with the mess you two caused, though it is by my order, it'll still be a hassle. You don't by any chance have my robes with you do you?"

Naruto just nodded and unsealed the Hokages hat and robes, who the quickly but them over his smoking jacket, grabbed the pipe and left, Hinata and Naruto following him closely.

Arriving at the meeting chamber, the Hokage, Naruto and Hinata heard the civilian side and even some ninjas calling for the demons death. However they all dropped silent once they noticed the Hokage. It wasn't until the Hokage was seated that they started on him.

"Hokage-sama, you've been too lenient, now see what that boy has done. All of the mirrors in our house are broken" screeched Chisa Haruno.

"Yeah, in my shop several things were broken." called out an anonymous merchant, who hoped to score some gold out of this, getting paid for stuff that was defect long ago.

And so on it went, with all the civilians having their say, even though they weren't really targeted, only a few dozen paint bombs, nothing much.

Even Hiashi, who was normally stoic, now lost his composure," He defiled our inner shrine I demand he be brought to justice." called out Hiashi, it being seconded by Tsume," You're right he must be brought to justice for this incident." She had many scars on her body, from fighting all those cats, it had taken her and her two greatest fighters to get Tora to flee.

Hana, who was being trained to be the next clan leader, however had a contemplative look on her face like she was thinking quite hard and the conclusions she was getting didn't seem to coincide with her mothers views.

Nara, Chōza, Inoichi and Shibi however weren't much for the punishment, they had now seen or had already seen the function these pranks had.

Danzo was keeping himself distant and Homura and Komura like the two idiots they were, were complaining because of what Naruto had done to their precious Uchiha.

When the ranting had gone on long enough, the Hokage coughed and released a small amount of killing intent, getting everyone's attention.

"Now that everyone has voiced their opinion, why don't we start this meeting?" started the Hokage, "I'm pretty sure I know what this is about but just to be on the safe side, I'll reiterate. This meeting was called because of the deeds of Naruto and Hinata." getting some raised eyebrows form some and a dark look from Hiashi, however the Hokage wasn't deterred and just continued," this morning. In which they accomplished not only to prank an entire village but to do so without even being caught." Once again the murmurs increased however another burst of ki stopped them all.

"However these infractions will not be punished." and once again the shouts started, all except Shibi who's clan compound wasn't pranked, Hana who figured out the real reason behind the pranks and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who respected the Hokage enough to at least hear him out.

"QUIET!" shouted the Hokage," Now that everyone's calmed down, why not let me or better yet why not let our two 'perpetrators' explain." adding the necessary finger bending," Send them in." said the Hokage motioning his ANBU to bring them in.

The moment the two of them walked into the room, you could feel the temperature drop. However the glares didn't even faze them, Naruto just had his goofy smile on him and Hinata looked defiantly, especially when Hiashi glared at her. She just glared back, intensifying her defiant look making Hiashi nearly boil over with rage, however with all the council members and Hokage here he couldn't possibly do anything to wipe that smug defiant look of her face.

Taking a few extra seats they leisurely sat themselves, Naruto still that smug but goofy smile on his face, and Hinata still that defiant look on her face. It didn't go unnoticed by Shikaku that they had placed themselves were they could see everyone, of course the others could see them as well, though they didn't seem to mind that fact. Another fact that the entire Ino-Shika-Cho now notice, along with Ibiki and Shibi, was that Hinata and Naruto now were seated in the exact same place as the Fourth and Kushina Uzumaki used to sit, and of course the resemblance between the Fourth and Naruto. Suddenly a light bulb went off in those four and they knew, however that wasn't the issue at the moment, so they just put it in the back of their minds and refocused.

The Hokage seeing that a few people had glimpsed the truth decided that if they hadn't noticed now they wouldn't at least in this session'Now let's get this started.' he thought.

"Okay, as I said earlier, the pranks that these two pulled will be without punishment. The reason will soon be explained, I will however tell you now that you will not interrupt." said the Hokage before nodding towards Naruto, who suddenly turned serious, no more goofy smug smile, no nothing just an emotionless face. Hinata in the meantime was leisurely cleaning her nails with a kunai, like she wasn't in the middle of the council room, making quite a lot of civilians and some ninja irritated.

"Well it all started about a month ago, me and Hinata were walking home after the last real lesson of the year, when we on our walk we noticed that with all of the clan compounds, the security was poor if there even was security at all. Later on that same evening, during the night we went back around these clan compounds, only to notice nearly no increase in the security. So after that we started really scouting out the clan compounds, in two nights we had all the information we needed. TWO NIGHTS PEOPLE!" shouting the last part, calming himself again he went back to explaining," So we went to the Hokage with our concerns, he agreed that we should point out that your security would be insufficient and that maybe you guys would tighten security without it being an order from the Hokage." at that different murmurs broke out, most of them not really flattering either him, the Hokage or Hinata.

"And that's how we came onto our first prank, now we would give you the time to tighten security and make another routine. Then a month after our first prank we would try to reprank you guys, hoping that it wouldn't work. Unfortunately you see the results. The only compound we could not break into was the Aburame's, now if this was because of the fact that we pranked them once or the fact that we both were frequently there and as such they all started getting more suspicious that I would prank them again, I do not know. What I do know is that besides Anko's house, which is scarily guarded, the Aburame compound was the sole place we could not get into to have enough time to place a prank. Hell the longest we could get into it was 3 seconds, and they'd already found and alerted the entire compound." Naruto then unsealed a scroll and started handing out folders, the Hyuuga being by far the biggest and thickest and the Nara's the thinnest.

"What I've just given you is a complete analysis of you security system, where the holes are, how to improve on the already existing plans, so I've also included a folder for you Aburame-san." said Naruto nodding towards Shibi when he handed over the folder," While you did successfully keep us out, we did not want to harm your men which is why the next time this happens, we will be carrying wooden blunted kunai and shuriken, so alert your clan members. You will now get another month tops to improve your security, I have the full support of the Hokage on this one. If you're men's throats are slit with the wooden blunted kunai or the shuriken hits a vital spot or anything I want them to play dead next time. That includes you Hyuuga-san, no clan is above this, if you do not agree then not only will you be compromising this village's security, you will also get onto the bad end of our pranking habits." concluded Naruto," Another thing, please also tell your men that while they may respond, but from the moment I identify myself please tell your men to stop, this is after all only a drill."

"Naruto has my full support, I never wanted this to happen but Naruto's right, the security of this village has become lax in this time of peace. It's quite pathetic that two recently graduated genin are able to not only infiltrate nearly each and every one of our compounds, but have enough time to set up such elaborate pranks is another indicator of just how bad our security has gotten. On that last note of Naruto, if I find out from him or Hinata that your men did not stop when they identified themselves, then those men will face serious repercussions. That is all, please read those files, I can assure you that after this I will not hold Naruto back when he comes up with his new pranks. You have been warned, now this meeting is dismissed." Called the Hokage, and signalling for Naruto and Hinata to follow him.

Once back into the Hokage's office, the Hokage once again activated the seals and spoke,"Well that went better than I expected and I do believe that the Ino-Shika-Cho trio now also know of your heritage, Shibi I think knew a long time ago and Ibiki I think suspects as well." shocking Naruto and Hinata, the Hokage just chuckled," It was of no fault of your own and not really such a big deal, I just didn't expect you two to take the exact same seats as the Fourth and Kushina always took." said the Hokage getting a slightly glum look on his face, thinking back on his successor then snapping back out of it.

"Well I would say that this was a mission well done, if there is nothing else, here are your cheques. Now scram, I've got paperwork to do."

After this prank, Team 8 once again returned to their routine. However after another two weeks it became quite obvious that neither Naruto nor Shino were meant to be anything beyond a first aid medic. With Shino if he gave up too much Chakra for the technique his bugs seemed to follow it into the wound, and he couldn't heal it further but was quite effective for cleaning the wound and even bandaging it with silk afterwards to stop the bleeding and further infection, those bugs were really good for it. And Naruto well thanks to having a bit of youki also running through his system it could close small wound but from the moment the amount of chakra needed transcended a certain level than the youki would poison the wound and do more harm than good.

However thanks to this Shino could now start practicing with his new sword. Naruto had gotten him some kenjutsu scrolls that he had found inside the Namikaze library, one of the very few left of for this kind of blade.

Naruto on the other hand took this time to work on his seals, making or reinventing (at least what the others think) seals. Seals that explode better and hotter, seals that not only explode but also send out weapons. This was probably one of his more handy seals however it still wasn't perfected yet, he still couldn't make them shoot out one by one. Should he be able to, he could sign the seals on his hands. One for kunai, one for shuriken and if he was lucky another one filled with senbon, giving him an entire arsenal of throwing weapons at his Fingertips.

And so the new routine started and continued for another month. After that month, Hana had trained the teams in medical jutsu except, of course, Naruto and Shino. Kurenai had come through for Shino, she had found him a teacher to help him master the basics of his new sword. The teacher Kurenai had found however, could only teach him the basics as the teacher didn't really use the weapon and so never learned more, however he did know the basics perfectly.

Naruto on the other hand was on his own, mostly because there weren't many seal-masters, especially masters as good as Naruto himself.

So it was a very bored and lonely Naruto that visited the Hokage tower, once again ignoring the secretary and just walking, knowing full well that if the meeting the Hokage was in was classified than he would probably lock the door, at least that's what Naruto would do.

However while it didn't interrupt any meeting he did just catch a poof and then suddenly it hit him, team 7 would be on their first C-rank mission that would turn a A-rank.

The Hokage just sighed, and then looked up when he noticed Naruto entering, once again without knocking and probably also without getting permission from his secretary. Though he could understand that last part, however it is common courtesy to knock before entering. Then again this was Naruto he was thinking about. So the Hokage did the only thing he could, he just sighed again, however it seemed that Naruto might just be able to help him out of this mess.

"Hey old man, I was kinda bored and thought I might come up and see if you got anything I could do, working on seals can only interest me for so long. And what was that poof of smoke, " asked Naruto, knowing full well that it was Pak-kun but actually forgetting or just not caring, the Hokage didn't know, about the fact that it was only Monday afternoon and he had only been learning for a few hours, but still Naruto just might be the one the Hokage needed.

"Well now that you mention it, I might have something for you. The poof you just saw, was Pak-kun, he's a summon dog from Kakashi, apparently he and his team's C-rank mission just went up to A-rank but the contractor can't afford the upgrade. They did say they would continue but have requested back-up, unfortunately for them, all the jounin and chuunin are out on missions at the moment, even Ibiki is away. And I can't really send in any other genin cause they would just be more people for Kakashi to look after. However from what I hear from Kurenai and Anko you have improved greatly, so if you're willing I would like you to go and provide back-up but only if needed. I'm sure you're aware of just how Kakashi sees you. So can I count on you and remember only help if needed."

Naruto just nodded, 'Maybe this time I could actually save Haku-chan or was it -san?' he never really did find out if Haku was male or female, deciding instantly Naruto quickly agreed. The Hokage quickly explained what the original mission was and that team 7 had only left this morning so if he was fast enough he might be able to catch up before the evening.

Naruto accepted the mission, now an appropriate A-rank still however it was still just support so the Hokage felt that Naruto could provide it even though he was just a genin and Naruto wasn't like any genin he had ever seen before, not even the legendary sanin had been this tough when they were genin.

Naruto quickly sped after team 7 hoping that he could catch up before they met with Zabuza, he wasn't entirely sure that this team 7 could deal with him in the event of Kakashi getting caught in a water prison.

However it seemed that team 7 had to wait just a little while longer. Someone was tailing him and hadn't it been for his enhanced sense of smell and having the wind blow from behind him. Naruto wasn't even sure he would have noticed him quite so quickly, his tail must be quite good to be able to not make a sound, suppress his chakra but still keep up. However it seemed that the tail didn't really want to follow him and not be noticed, cause he stopped concealing his chakra quite soon, Naruto left a few of his new and improved seals around just in case, and jumped further like he hadn't noticed his tail.

"Hey kid!" called out his tail. Naruto decided best act like the stupid moron everyone thaught he still was, kept his skills secret and would probably make his tail overconfident. So turning around Naruto started throwing a fit.

"I'M NO KID! I'M A FULLY CAPABLE NINJA!" screamed Naruto.

"Well, I didn't mean it like that," said the man that Naruto now identified as Kafu Ohba, also know as The Blood Red Tide, oh boy this wasn't good. Kafu used to be one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, rumoured to have Kuroji, of course that was until he became a missing-nin.

"But even if you aren't a kid, I still can't let you continue. This road is sealed of for the next few days." said Kafu," if you turn back now I'll even let you of the hook and let you return."

"Awwww, but I really want to go there, I need to get some complete and utter assholes out of some serious trouble. You might even have seen them, one is a one eyed scarecrow that is quite the pervert, another is a pink haired loud banshee, I'm surprised she was allowed to even keep that color of hair, it's shocking how much she stands out. Than there would be a mutt and his dog, with the dog probably having less fleas that the mutt and last but certainly not least, an emo kid with a pole stuck up his ass so far that I think it even tickles his throat sometimes. Soooo have you seen them and can't I go, I promise I won't tell anyone?" asked Naruto innocently in one of those whiny tones that only kids used. But Naruto now did note that Kafu had come a bit closer and was now standing right on top of one of his highly explosive seals and was surrounded by others.

"Could be that I saw them but I still can't allow you to pass."

Suddenly turning serious, Naruto said," Too bad then Kafu-chan, because you're beaten."

Noticing the past tense Kafu wanted to say something against this insolent brat and beat the crap out of him. However cause of the way the kid acted he hadn't noted his surroundings and so when Naruto activated his seals, it was already too late.

Kafu jumped up to avoid the first blast which he mostly did however he was quickly impaled by the many object flying trough the air and was completely done when he was falling down a second explosion came from where he had jumped however thanks to him falling he now couldn't avoid it. Kafu Ohba, one of the seven swordsmen of the mist was dead before he even hit the ground.

Naruto just shook his head, you should never underestimate an opponent, even if he was a lowly genin and you were a jōnin.

Naruto quickly pocketed everything Kafu had on him, including his Makkura which he hadn't even had a chance to draw. Naruto had big plans for that sword, and decided that he would quickly install it in his staff for his new weapon making it complete, when he had the time. Now however wasn't that time, he cut of the head for the bounty then sealed it and the rest of his stuff before he quickly burned the body with a quick "Kitsune-bi: Hiendan".

Naruto didn't loose much time but he still had a lot of catching up too do. He knew that they would meet with Zabuza the next day around noon and he thought that he just might be able to get there in time for the start, so he hoped they would be able to at least last a little while. He would prefer if he didn't have to cut in at all.

He knew that he would need to be in top fighting form the next day and that even he couldn't just go without sleep. So when it was midnight Naruto settled down, ate his dinner by a small fire, made his new weapon complete by inserting the curved blade of Makkura onto the top and then snuggled some with Kyu-chan, all the while smiling about his now completed weapon. All in all it had been a good day, he wasn't bored too death like he thought he would be, he had found Kafu even though normally he would have to hunt him down, which he wouldn't be able to do for quite some time. He knew that earlier that day he had been lucky, even though Kafu was never actually in the Swordsmen, he had still been an honorary member and that was no small feat. Unfortunately he had underestimated Naruto and he had payed the price. Snuggling a little with Kyu, he quickly fell to sleep knowing that if anything even came remotely in the vicinity with malicious intents his seals would take care of them and the rest were for Kyu to play with. He was going to need his strength cause tomorrow he was probably going to take on Zabuza Momochi once more.

Authors note:

Sorry for the delay everyone, I've been having a severe case of writers block, as you might have noticed it isn't my best or longest chapter. My life has been quite busy lately and so it seemed like the inspiration just never hit.

Anyone who guesses Naruto's weapon gets a cookie!

The personage of Kafu I have gotten from the story Naruto: One man team from Ackdam, great story!
