Rules 12 & 13 a.k.a. 'The Human Torch' and 'Known Associates' rules

"YOSH! I shall beat you next time my eternal rival. THE FLAMES OF YOUTH SHALL PREVAIL." Gai Maito yelled at the retreating back of the victor, one Kakashi Hatake.

Before he could continue, he was interrupted by a Genin, one of his comrades, Ibiki's team.

"Um, Gai-sempai…" started Izumo nervously, "I know a competition you'd win easily."

"Tell me more, my youthful Genin."

-O-O-O-

Kakashi Hatake was having a nice day, that is until his 'rival', Gai, ran by.

"BEHOLD MY FLAMES OF YOUTH!"

The thing was Kakashi could swear he saw said flames covering the eccentric Jounin. This called for an extra dose of Icha-Icha. To the bookstore!

-O-O-O-

"I can't believe he did it!" Anko said, giggling madly.

"Hey, youthful doesn't necessarily mean smart." chortled Kotetsu.

"So it was you four!" Ibiki said, poofing into existence. "Whose bright idea (pun intended), was it that's got Gai in hospital being treated for second degree burns?"

Anko stopped giggling when she noticed three fingers pointed her way. "Traitors!" she hissed, eerily reminiscent of her summons.

Rule 29 a.k.a. "Cat Fight!" or "Take it ALL off!" rule

Izumo and gang watched with interest as Anko and Kurenai wrestled in the mud.

"Take it back!" Anko yelled, yanking Kurenai's hair.

"Your girlfriend's good." Iruka commented as Kurenai tore the sleeve off of Anko's coat.

"She'll kick your Anko's ass." Asuma, who had turned up with a group of his fellow Chunin, replied. He then winced as Anko ripped Kurenai's bandages, showing a lot more of her fellow Genin's midriff,

"Kakashi's not better than dango! How dare you suggest such a thing!"

This brought a round of laughter from the growing crowd, said scarecrow only eye-smiled.

"Alright place your bets!" Izumo called out. "20 on Anko to win! Go Anko!"

"30 on Anko!"

"40 on Kurenai!"

"15 on Anko!"

"60 on them being topless by the end! 70 on them going all the way!" yelled a new voice.

"Jiraiya!" said another.

"What you wanna place a bet too Sensei?"

Sarutobi face-palmed before looking at the crowd, " Everyone, except Team 19 and the, er…, combatants disperse."

Once the dust cleared, he continued; "I'll see you five in my office in 15 minutes." He then turned and headed towards the Hokage tower, thinking how Jiraiya would work this into the next Icha-Icha.
