Reason #16: Wikipedia

Naruto had only wanted to look up something on ramen, so he might better extol its virtues to the ignorant masses, but after entering the thirty-seventh hour, and five million pages read, he had to admit this website was very informative. Now that he finally took the time out to go eat the glorious wonder that is ramen, he wondered if there was something he'd forgotten to do.

Meanwhile across Konoha, his team was lost and glaring at each other. "I can't believe the dobe's phone number wasn't listed online..."

"It's not my fault Mapquest got us lost again..." Kakashi muttered sullenly causing the other two's eyes to twitch.

Sakura groaned and rubbed her forehead. "He'd been there before he said... Knew a shortcut he said... 'Trust me' he said... Stupid sensei..."

"Hn..." Sasuke agreed grumpily.

Reason #17: Chatrooms

Team seven stood at training grounds seven, as they had been instructed the night previously. They were waiting patiently for Kakashi to arrive to give them their test, and had been waiting since ten that morning. Naruto took a moment to look up at the moon high overhead, before grumbling.

"Hey, I'm going to go get some ramen for supper, want anything?" Naruto offered with a growl of annoyance. "He only said no breakfast, not lunch or dinner..."

"Hn... vegetable ramen for me..." Sasuke grunted out angrily while glaring into the distance, tossing over some ryuu bills. "Extra tomatoes if you could..."

"I'll have some Miso..." Sakura said quietly from where she'd crumpled to the ground. Maybe skipping dinner for her diet was a bad idea after all...

"Man... I wonder where Kakashi-sensei is..." Naruto groused as he took the money to fill the orders.

Meanwhile at his home, Kakashi was 'busy' with matters on the net. "Oh DolphinMaster32342, I think I'm falling in love! Punish me some more, shove that big thing into me again!"

The less known about that particular incident... the better for people's mental facilities...

Reason #18: Giving them ideas is REALLY, REALLY BAD! Really it is folks...

Tenten smiled warmly at her co-star Hinata Hyuuga as they set up their latest experiment. "Hello and welcome back to 'Will it Explode?' Today we're testing several household items to see if they'll explode. Hinata has supplied us with some hairspray, and Naruto is happily acting as our entire support crew. Let's begin..."

Stepping aside, Tenten connected two wires to the group of ten hairspray cans. Pulling them back behind the sandbag bunker, she and Hinata hit the dirt while a Naruto clone got the camera closer to the cans. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!!"

The resulting explosion not only dispersed the clone with the camera, but also sent the flaming piece of equipment flying.

Sasuke was casually munching on a tomato outside the marketplace when a whistling sound reached his ears. Looking around, he never saw the flaming object coming straight at his head until it was too late, for his hair.

The collision of the camera to his head not only knocked him out, but also lit his heavily sprayed hair on fire. The resulting fireball was short, but impressively large. Sadly after it disappeared, so too did the remains of Sasuke's hair.

Back at the abandoned quarry, Tenten looked at the smoke trail that had been the camera's flight path. "Uhh... Naruto?"

Naruto snickered as he got the final feed from the camera, that of a collision with that pompous asshole Sasuke. "Got it all and I can edited in the other camera's feed no problem..." Naruto answered while shutting the laptop, thankful that they'd gotten some backup servers to store the filming for editing.

Reason #19: Nigerian Scam Letters

Danzo smiled as he looked at the letter he'd gotten in his e-mail this morning. Apparently the war orphans of Amegakure had a fund set up to thank the Konoha shinobi that helped them out during the disastrous war against Hanzo. All he had to send was fifteen hundred ryuu to them and he could have more than triple that in a matter of weeks.

Transferring the funds he smiled blissfully as he started waiting for the confirmation of his money incoming.

Meanwhile several stories upstairs, Naruto smirked to Tsunade's look of utter disbelief. "And that... is how you rip him off..."

"I can't believe you did that..." Tsunade stated in pure disbelief as she watched what Naruto had just done. Already he was emptying the bank accounts of Danzo with dozens of clones.

Reason #20: Online Dating

Kakashi sighed as he sat waiting at the table in the dimly lit restaurant, checking his watch a couple times. He had for once been early, and was wearing his best uniform and even pressed his mask to make the best impression. He didn't know what he was doing though. After all, here he was, Kakashi Hatake, one of the most available bachelors in Konoha, waiting for his date.

It wouldn't be nearly as bad as it was, if it wasn't for the fact he had resorted to dating online. At first he'd done it to humor his students, and then he met YouthfulPrincess. She had been perfect; smart, witty, funny and an excellent conversationalist. So eventually they decided to meet face to face.

Adjusting the red carnation he wore on his lapel, he waited for his date. And that's when he saw something that would eternally haunt him, Gai wearing a little black dress that informed Kakashi about more than he ever wanted to know about the man that declared him his rival. And that's when it hit him, GAI was YouthfulPrincess.

Just as he was about to abandon Gai, the normally green clad man spotted him. "Eternal Rival... I... I can explain about my less than youthful..." Gai started before noticing the rose on Kakashi's lapel. "Oh..."
