A/N: I want to point out I started this, story earlier in the Fall than I did with my other crossover: Arashi Uzumaki of the Blue Plague, but still no where in the beginning, so if you want to know what happened in Blue Plague series before the point I used, you got to read the actual books. Just don't let kids read it.

I'm also censoring curse words as it's too many used in more than just saying usual ways that I can't ignore them all. At least with censoring I'm not going against my usual way of avoiding curse wordsof the Blue Plague series Tomas W. Watson, whose wife is Tina Watson. I should also tell you Watson always based a character after himself in his books, and in the Blue Plague series that's Bruce.

Finally, I don't own the Blue Plague series or the Naruto series or it's characters. But I do know the wife of the writer of the Blue Plague series Tomas W. Watson, whose wife is Tina Watson. I should also tell you Watson always based a character after himself in his books, and in the Blue Plague series that's Bruce.

if you see letters with '-' that's me sensoring curse words in case none of you realized that.

If you haven't read it yet, read this first:

When the Parents of the Williams/Collins Family Pick A Fight With Each Other

Naruto got up for another training session. When he was done he headed to the hall for breakfast to find Bruce Debbie Stephanie and Angela all dressed for workout and yet had the kids with them.

"Waiting for Susan to take the kids before working out?" Naruto asked.

"No, already got it done," Bruce said. "We let the twins Cade and PJ join us."

"Really?" Naruto asked. "How did it go?"

"Twins and Cade wasn't a problem, but PJ tried crawling on a treadmill that was on high speed and was catapulted," Bruce said. "He loved it."

Naruto laughed. Then he noticed Max at the door looking back at Bruce. "Ah, Bruce, Maz wants out."

Bruce turned to Max. "You just went a few hours ago," Bruce told him. Max just looked up at him whining. "Oh, okay." Bruce said, opening the door and walking out with Max. Soon they were back in as Millie had finished bringing out the food.

As Naruto ate breakfast, Bruce spoke up. "Danny. Jake, Naruto, you three are with me today. Naruto, tell Hinata she's with us too."

Naruto nodded but Danny whined. "We were out all day yesterday. What about our six hours of down time?"

Jake then whines louder. "Dad, that's not fair. Everyone else gets time off."

Bruce just gaze at them with a stern look, daring either to continue.

Both looked at Bruce and replied at the same time, "Yes, sir."

"That's the price of being part of the command group. You work twice as hard and twice as long, and it must be twice as good," Bruce told them.

"I want a transfer," Danny replied under her breath.

"Keep on, young lady, and I'll join you to my hip. Let's see how you act then," Bruce told her.

"Oh come on! There's no way you heard that!" Danny exclaimed, slamming her hands down.

Bruce looked at Danny. "Danyn, parents can feel it when their kids give back a smart a- comment."

Debbie looked up from feeding PJ. "Daddy feels them. I hear them, and yes I heard that," Debbie said.

"What do we have to do?" Jake asked.

"Cover my a-," Bruce said. "Hinata will be helping with her Byakugan."

Danny looked up, tickled. "Alright. Let's blow something up!" she shouted with excitement, jumping up from the table.

"I'll let Hinata know," Naruto said, rising to inform Hinata.

Unlike Danny and Jake, Hinata didn't mind Bruce's request. Naruto then headed to his and Sai's room and got dress for travel and combat. Naruto tied his yellow bandanna around his neck and pinned his pin on his shoulder. Naruto looked in the only mirror in the room and saw he looked more like a soldier of this world than a ninja from another. Only difference was his ninja headband around his forehead.

Naruto reached the strykers where Bruce was already waiting, wearing his BDU tiger stripes wearing what Naruto recognize from movie nights aa cowboy hat with a yellow bandana. Bruce already had the ramp down.

"Wearing Tiger Stripes today?" Naruto asked.

"You can go put on yours," Bruce said as they gave him one the first time he arrived at the farm.

"Nah, I'm good," Naruto said.

Mike came over to the, "Who are you today? Some mutated form of John Wayne?" Mike asked.

"Nay, I'm not that big of a bad a-. But I will be one day," Bruce replied with a tone of confidence.

"Where are you two going today?"

"Joe's home. It's sixty miles from here in the middle of nowhere."

"What for?"

"I want to see if his family is there."

Bruce told Mike the story with Naruto listening as this was his first time hearing it as well. Naruto liked the idea, but Mike shook his head. "Bruce, if Joe even thought it was remotely possible, he would already have gone."

"So I just waste some fuel and time. What the f-'s the problem?" Bruce snapped.

Mike held up his hand in mock surrender. "Dude, fine with me. I just don't want Joe to get his hopes up."

"He doesn't know I'm going and I want to keep it that way," Bruce said.

"I like the idea," Naruto admitted. "And if anyone ask, you can tell them we're checking on a rumor about some survivors we heard about. That way it's not technically lying."

"Ooh, good idea," Bruce agreed.

They continued talking as Debbie, Angela, and Stephanie came out, followed by all three couples Buffy and Hinata. Like Naruto, Hinata was wearing an ACU and tactical gear but she had her metal plate of her headband place on her yellow bandana as she wore her headband around her neck. Naruto had to admit that was a good idea. Still Naruto and Hinata stood out as the entire family was wearing tiger stripes. Although Naruto didn't remember Bruce telling David and Mindy they were coming, Bruce seem to not mind so he didn't question it. Judging from Danny's reaction at the hall when Bruce told her she was watching his a-, they did crazy stuff before the fall as a family anyways.

"Jake, your group gets its own Stryker. Your team two. Hinata will be with you and transform to miniature size to fit in your pocket. Incase you have to snipe she can help from there. We are going here and you're leading," Bruce pointed on a map and then looked at Buffy." Then he looked at Buffy. "Buffy, you're with me." Buffy's shoulders slumped with disappointment. She had wanted to go with the teens. Bruce smiled. "You're driving," he told her.

Buffy jumped in the air, doing several circles, pumping her fist in the air, and yelling with excitement, and then ran into the Stryker. Bruce watched her run in.

"I'm guessing she's sitting on my lap?" Naruto asked.

"Well I was going to ask you to use the transformation jutsu like Hinata, but if you want to do that instead..." Bruce said.

"Yeah, yeah." Naruto headed to the stryker.

Bruce then turned to Debbie and the crew. They were all looking at him incredulously. "What? She drives good," Bruce told them as Buffy fired up the Stryker. Unconvinced they continued staring at Bruce. "Well, every once in a while she does like driving over a car and once she went through a house chasing a blue, but she got him," Bruce lied, unnerving the three as he went inside the Stryker. The three looked at each other and followed Bruce inside.

Bruce gave them each a CVC helmet to put on so they could talk and showed them hos to use it. When they were plugged in, Bruce looked at Stephanie. "Stephanie, where are your sunglasses and gloves?"

"I have them," she replied, tapping her thigh pocket.

"Put them on. When you leave the farm, always wear them just like you would in a lab. They are your first line of protection," Bruce told her as Stephanie put them on.

Bruce nodded and radioed Jake to pull out. Buffy followed Jake off the farm as Naruto press the gas for her. Although the Stryker normally carry five since Buffy was sitting on Naruto's lap it wasn't as tight. Bruce told Debbie to get in the turret and started going over how to operate it. When they were ten miles away from the farm, he let her squeeze off a few burst since the guns had silencers on. Next, Bruce told Debbie to go up to Buffy and learn how to drive. Then he had Angela get in the turret and went over the systems. Bruce laughed when she took off her pack and sat on it as a booster seat to see everything as she fired off a few short burst.

Jake called over the radio, saying that wasn't fair, they wanted to shoot some too, Bruce said that was fine; just stop ten miles from the target so they could reload. Bruce told Angela to get out and switch with Debbie. Stephanie climbed in the turret and before Bruce could say anything, flip switches, grabbed the fire control handle, and moved the gun mount, firing into a tree sitting in the middle of a field.

Stephanie turned around to Bruce. "I heard it twice," she said.

Bruce radioed Jake and told him to pull over so they could reload and swap drivers. He pulled the three out and show them how to reload the M2. Buffy and even Naruto already knew how, but Buffy had to use her legs to cock the handle. Bruce told Buffy to get in the turret, which didn't go over well since she already knew how to operate it. Buffy cheered when Bruce told her she would get to fire it since she had never gotten to do that.

The two vehicles traveled for over an hour. Joe's house may have been sixty miles away by map, but it was almost eighty by road. When they were five miles away, Bruce opened the back hatch but quickly closed it when the cold air hit him. The others just looked at him like he was a d- not one to hold her tongue, Angela said over the headset, "It's below forty degrees outside."

Bruce ignored her as he laid out how they were going to check the house. "When we pull down the driveway, Jake, you pull to the left, Debbie, you take the right. Stephanie, you're in the turret, and Angela and Naruto you're by the back door to let us back in or cover Buffy and me."

Stephanie just looked at him. "Are you stupid? You can't put Buffy in that type of danger."

Before Buffy could pop off, Bruce told Stephanie, "If they are regular people they are less than likely to shoot at us seeing a little blond girl walking with a man, no matter how well armed she is. If they are bad guys, they will shoot at me and not see her as a threat. That is when y'all lay waste to the house."

"Bruce let me go instead. I can use the transformation jutsus to make my clothes look more civilian."

"You can do that?" Bruce asked.

"I been doing more work out and infusing chakra to guns for practice shooting. I been also working on some of my jutsus," Naruto explained.

"All right Naruto, let's give your idea a shot, but if things hits the fan we open fire," Bruce said.

Naruto made the hand sign and there was a puff of smoke. When it cleared, Naruto was wearing an orange t-shirt, black overcoat black jeans and tennis shoes. HIs gun was still strapped in its gun holster.

"Hey Debbie, can I borrow your rifle?" Naruto asked.

"Huh? Why?" Debbie asked.

"Well I look stupid if I showed up just armed with a pistol with Blues running around," Naruto argued.

"He got a point," Bruce said handing Naruto his SAW, "Here, you can use mine." Bruce handed Naruto his rifle.

Jake called over the radio, "We're here." They pulled into the driveway and drove to the pulled into the driveway and drove to the house, which sat two hundred yards off the road. They pulled the Strykers in the front yard. Bruce changed strategy and had Jake stop before reaching the front yard. Naruto got out the back and then Angela shut the door. Coming from around the back, Naruto straightened the SAW on his back and walked forward like he was in a casual walk.

Walking up to the house, Naruto saw the front door open a crack when they were almost to the porch and a rifle eased through the opening. "Don't move," as a male voice said from inside the house, "We're not going back to any camp."

"Hey, it's okay. My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I come in peace." Naruto said. "I'm here on the behalf of Joe Holiday. I was told his family lives here."

"I come in peace? What does he think this is? Some Alien UFO movie?" Naruto could hear Bruce from wherever he was hiding.

That's what you get for introducing me to those movies? Naruto thought.

A young man in his twenties came out the front door, aiming the rifle at Naruto. "What do you know about Joe?"

"He's at the farm I'm staying at," Naruto replied.

A woman in her early fifties came out the front door. "Is he okay?" she asked Naruto.

"Yes, ma'am," Naruto replied.

"Why isn't he with you?" Gary asked.

"Well you see, my friends and I came here hoping to find Joe's family and bring them back as a surprise," Naruto explained.

"There are others with you?" Gary asked.

"Uh, yeah. They're in our strykers further back in case you have guards hiding." Naruto explained. "As I was saying. Joe went to check on his wife and son who went to see her mother, but the house was empty. Joe came back here but was put in a camp. Harry stopped by here to check, and they weren't here then, either. That's when the military took him to the camp where Joe was at. My group rescued them after it was overrun. Joe and Harry are at our farm now running the machine shop." Naruto explained..

Gary relaxed and letting the rifle fall to his side.

Naruto gave the signal with a wave, hoping Hinata see it with her Byakugan. The two strykers moved forward with Bruce and Buffy following by foot.

"Dad's with you?" Gary asked.

"Yes, he is." Naruto said as Bruce walked up next to him. "This is our clan leader Bruce and one of his daughters Buffy."

"It's nice to meet you guys," Bruce said. "Now, let's get you to Joe."

"We have others with us," the lady said.

"Well, go get your mama and let's go, ma'am," Bruce replied.

"My name's Patrice and my mother passed when the blues attacked the detention camp we were in," Patrice said in a breaking voice.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. How many do you have?"

"Fourteen others," she said. Bruce sighed, looking at the Strykers. There was no way they could get that many in. Seeing Bruce look at the Strykers, Patrice said, "We can't leave them, they came with us from the camp. It took us two weeks to get here."

Bruce looked at her like she was insane. "Patrice, we haven't left anyone who wants to come with us unless you count the piece of s- gangs that are rapinga dn killing. Those we usually just kill." Bruce said, then added Debbie walked up beside him. "I'm just trying to figure out how to get all of you back."

"We have a van," Gary offered. He looked up toward the Strykers.

"Patrice, tell everyone to grab what they need, but room is at a premium, so don't bring a lot of stuff."

"Well, we have a lot of food also," Patrice said, heading toward the door.

Debbie laughed. "We have that covered. Come on, I'll help you pack."

"Come on, Naruto, I might need you to seal some of Joe's stuff up," Brue said.

"I should've known you wanted me for sealing," Naruto said.

They went inside the small machine shop as Naruto transformed back to his regular clothing. It had the basic machines spread around the walls, Bruce walked over to the tool chest and opened it. Inside were the best bits, tools and mills money could buy.

On the table beside the tool chest was a small tool box. Bruce opened it to find the best calipers made. Joe's name was engraved on top of the tool box. The book shelf was filled with several dozens of books about the trade. Below the book shelf was a CD organizer. Bruce opened it to see the CD labeled with different projects.

Naruto sealed up all the stuff. When they were done they headed inside and found Debbie putting pictures in a suitcase and zipping it up. Looking around, he didn't see any pictures on the walls. As Patrice set down another suitcase, four in total, Bruce turned to Debbie. "Are all those pictures?" Bruce asked.

Debbie turned to face him. "Yes they are. Got a problem with that."

"No! I was just going to ask if you needed help taking them out," Bruce answered.

"Yes, take these out. We'll be ready to move out in five minutes."

Bruce went to grab the cases and had to really use muscle to lift the two off the floor. Seeing Bruce straining as he lifted, Jake and Matt grabbed one of the other two. After putting them in a Stryker, Bruce went back as everyone left the house, half heading to the garage and other half to the Strykers.

Bruce grabbed Gary. "You stay in between the Strykers. If we're attacked, we're moving through. Don't pass either one and keep in contact," Bruce told him handing Gary a radio.

Bruce turned to Buffy, handing her his satellite GPS map. "Where are we?" Bruce asked her.

Buffy let out a sigh as she took the map from Bruce. She hated reading the map. Taking out her compass and aligning the map, Buffy looked around, then back at the map. Then, using her memory, she moved her finger over the map, stopping several miles from where they were.

"No. Further south," Danny whispered really soft.

"Hey quit helping, Daniel Boone!" Bruce told Danny. Danny just sighed but kept standing by Buffy.

"Bruce quit being hard on Buffy. She's learned a lot in the last few months. She's allowed to have one area that she has problems with," Debbie snapped at Bruce, making him look up Naruto heard Danny give Buffy quick instructions and she found their location by time Bruce looked back. Bruce growled at Danny. "Okay Buffy, where is the farm?" Bruce asked her. That was easy; she unfolded the map, pointing it out. "That's good, BB. Now you're driving and will be in the lead. You won't be sitting on Naruto's lap this time, so memorized your route. Remember, we only have a little over half a tank of fuel, and we didn't bring extra. No one will help, so it's up to you to get us home," Bruce told Buffy. Buffy just looked at Bruce in abstract horror with her mouth open. "That will not help you memorize your route, BB."

Everyone from the house and the team just stared at Bruce as Buffy, with shaking hands holding the map, went to their Stryker with Danny walking beside her. Bruce looked at everyone as he yelled, "Danny, quit helping her or you walk home!"

"Not that I'm complaining, but why can't Buffy sit on my lap?" Naruto asked.

"Making sure you don't help either," Bruce said.

"I could just promised not to help," Naruto said. "I don't go back on my word after all."

"No, Buffy can just sit on her backpack like Angela did in the Turret," Bruce said.

"Fine," Naruto sighed.

Debbie just shook her head as everyone else was shock.

"Bruce, they're your kids, not recruits," she said icily.

"What happens if we hit and everyone on the team gets killed?You just want her to stop asn ask for directions when it's up to her to get these people home?" Bruce asked her in a voice close to a yell.

Debbie just shook her head, not wanting to have this argument again.

"Don't worry Mom. It's easy here with all the roads," Jake told her. "When we went to Idaho and I had trouble reading the map, Dad hiked us ten miles back, handed the map to me, and said 'Sit here for one hour and then find the truck' as he left me."

Debbie looked at Bruce like he was fixing to shoot him in the leg. "I followed him and he was never out of my sight," Bruce assured her as he thought about hiding behind someone.

"I didn't know that," Jake said, still holding a grudge.

Dark shadows passed over Debbie's face as she asked Jake, "How old were you?"

"Twelve" Jake replied, and Debbie squinted her eyes at Bruce, dropping her hand to her pistol.

Bruce looked at her, crossing his arms over his chest. "You pull it, and I will pull your pants down and turn your a- red," Bruce threatened.

"I can get one shot off," Debbie said. "You torture my kids, leaving them in a wilderness and expect me not to get mad," Debbie grumbled, wanting to punch him in the face.

Angela stepped in between them. "As interesting as this fight would be, how about let's get these people back to the farm, then you two can go at it," she offered.

"See you at the house, baby," Debbie growled as she headed for Jake's Stryker and not Bruce's.

"Bring it on, girlfriend," Bruce said, turning around and leaving. The new members just wondered what was going on.

Once everyone was loaded up, Buffy pulled out with everyone following. Buffy only made one wrong turn and knew it as soon as she did it. As she slowed down to turn around, Bruce told her to keep going and figured it out. Buffy got back on course and finally pulled onto their road. On the entire trip back, Bruce and Debbie delivered threats back and forth over the radio.

Bruce called ahead, telling mission control he was coming in with visitors. "Big Daddy Two. This is One. Do you copy?"

"Yeah One, this is Two," Mike replied.

"Is joe in the shop?" Bruce asked.

"Yeah," MIke responded.

"Good, keep him there."

"Are you s- me?"

"I haven't s- on you, but I'm fixing to s- on everyone!" Bruce screamed back.

"Dude, you're PMS-ing early. If the cramps are that bad, take something."

Debbie came over the radio before Bruce could reply. "Get Joe. Let him know his family is fine and then meet me on the patio, m-!" Debbie yelled at Bruce over the radio.

"Mom-" Danny started as Debie cut her off.

"Shut it, Danny," Debbie yelled over the radio.

"Yeah, look who's being mean to the kids now!" Bruce yelled over the radio.

"Keep on and we start here and now you son of a b-!"

"Oh I'm so scared. Little mighty mouse woman is threatening me like a little b-," Bruce replied mockingly as Buffy pulled through the gate.

"Bring your smart a- mouth to the patio, we'll see who the b- is," Debbie declared as Buffy drove around the hall and up to the shop, stopping.

Bruce threw off his CVC, grabbed his Cavalry hat, and jumped out of the Stryker, but headed toward the shop. When he came back, Joe and Harry was behind him. Bruce pointed to Patrice and Gary. Joe looked and ran toward them and they ran toward him. They embraced and kissed each other. Bruce then headed toward the house.

Sensing a fight was coming, Naruto raced toward the house.

Naruto could hear Debbie and Bruce yelling from here. "You tried to hurt my babies, you son of a b-!" Debbie yelled.

"If I would've left it to you, they would've had weekly vaginal exams!" Bruce yelled back.

"I will show you vaginal as I kick your a-!" Debbie yelled.

"B-, you couldn't whip your way out of a wet paper bag with both ends open!" Bruce yelled.

Naruto winced as that was loud enough he was sure the whole farm could hear.

"Your a- is mine!" Debbie yelled over the radio as now everyone was heading to the house.

Naruto reached the patio to find Debbie taken off her equipment and piled in on a table and Bruce starting to take off his gear. He took off his hat, setting in a chair. "I'm gonna cut that hat up," Debbie growled at him.

"Touch it, and I'll shave your head," Bruce promised. "WEll, my a- is here. The only thing holding you back is air and opportunity." Bruce took a deep breath and added, "There goes the air."

Debbie lunged at Bruce, throwing a series of punches that Bruce blocked easily. Debbie launched another attack with punches and kicks and tried to grab Bruce's arm as he blocked one of her punches. Bruce's just pushed her back, pulling his arm out of her grasp.

As Bruce blocked and dodgem he would reach out, lightly popping Debbie on the side of the head. It didn't hurt Debbie, but boy, did it p- her off to know Bruce could pop her anytime. If that was not bad enough, everytime Bruce tapped Debbie head he would say, "See you're just a little punk." That brought out the wrath of Debbie.

"Hey, wait a second," Naruto said remembering his Sakura's and Sasuke's first bell test with Kakashi when he tried to go for the bell. They had the disadvantage of going one on one and Kakashi knew it. "He's toying with her."

Debbie caught her balance and crouched down, "What else have you done to my babies?" she yelled.

"Well, I guess I shouldn't tell you about the first time I took Danny tandem skydiving. I had to pry her hands off the airplane so we could jump. She screamed the entire way down and wet her pants!" Bruce shouted. Debbie launched several snap kicks followed by a roundhouse.

As Debbie kept throwing punches and Bruce just blocked Stephanie leaned over to Danny and asked. "Do they do this often?"

"Once every few years," Danny said, shrugging her shoulders. No one knows what will set Mama off. The last time they did this someone used her SUV and left it on empty, and started blaming Daddy."

Bruce glared at Debbie as she backed off. "Oh, what about the time Mike and I took the boys fishing in the great lakes? We threw them out and made them swim two miles back to land," Bruce told Debbie as he grinned at her.

Naruto sensed anger coming elsewhere as he sweatdropped. I sense another fight about to brew.

Debbie launched another flurry of attacks which Bruce just kept blocking. Then he caught Debbie's arm, spun her around, and shove her away, slapping her butt. "You punch like a b-," Bruce said. Debbie screamed at him as she took off and jumped into a drop kick, which Bruce ducked. Debbie sailed over his head, hit the ground and rolled to her feet.

:"The first time Steve sky dived solo, I had to throw him out of the plane," Bruce to;d Debbie as she started another attack

"When we took the kids mountain climbing, none of them wanted to slide over the rope bridge. Mike and I tied up each one, hooked them to the line and shoved them off.'

The anger Naruto sensed intensified.

Debbie attacked again. Bruce caught her arm as she threw a sharp job at his face. Spinning Debbie around, Bruce grabbed the back of her shirt and her belt and lifted her above his head. He walked over to the swimming pool. "Don't you dare, Bruce; that water is cold!" Debbie screeched, trying to grab onto Bruce.

"Well, it will cool you off then," Bruce said, throwing Debbie into the deep end.

To say the water was cold would have been a gross understatement. Debbie came up to the surface gasping from the shock of the water. The swam to the shallow end until she could stand up. Turning around, she saw Bruce at the other end of the pool with a smirk on his face.

Debbie turned to her kids. "You're going to let him do that to me? Your mama!" she yelled.

Bruce just laughed at Debbie's plea and didn't see Danny, Jake and Steve running at him. They all hit Bruce at the same time in a tackle, shoving him into the swimming pool with them following Bruce broke the surface, gasping for air and looking for the truck that hit him. Seeing his kids come up to the surface, he started dunking them underwater.

Bruce heard a splash behind him and felt little arms wrapping around his neck and trying to force him underwater. Grabbing the arms, Bruce flipped the person over his back into the water, only then realizing it was Buffy. Bruce took a deep breath and went underwater, swimming under the kids heading toward Debbie in the shallow.

Debbie saw the shadow heading toward her and tried to run in the edge, but with her BDUs and combat boots still on, Bruce caught her easily. Rising up out of the water with Debbie over his head. Bruce headed back toward the deep end with Debbie screaming.

"Okay, now it's time for me to have fun in these fights." Naruto jumped high in the air and made the hand sign. "Shadow Clone Body SLam Jutsu. Bruce throws Debbie into the water in time for Naruto to body slam him back into the water. The kids join in along with Debbie.

However the fighting pause when they heard several slaps followed by some yelling by the house. Naruto had forgotten about the sense of anger he felt earlier.

Naruto turned to the commotion to see Nancy hitting Mike on his arm.

"I forgot I sensed some anger rising," Naruto said.

"How could you do that to the boys? They could've drowned," Nancy yelled.

"Baby, we were only playing," Mike said, trying to avoid the more serious hits.

"Playing? That's what you call playing!" Nancy yelled, hitting him.

"Nancy, I wouldn't do anything to hurt or scare my kids on purpose. They need to face their fears!" Mike yelled.

"Hey," Bruce yelled, and they turned to look at him. "I guess you shouldn't tell her when we took the kids to Virginia that you held Mary down so the guy could buckle the bungee cord to her legs, and you threw her off the tower," Bruce yelled.

Nancy lost all color in her face hearing that. She turned around and started hitting Mike with her fist, hard. Mike, tired of the hits, grabbed Nacy, picked her ho over his head, walked to the pool, and threw her in. Mike looked at Bruce. "Are you happy now?" he yelled as his kids hit him from behind, sending Mike into the water with them on top of him.

"Now I am," Bruce said only for Naruto to try and body slam him into the water again.

Mike tried to help Bruce and while throwing everyone back into the deep end. Danny tried to swim to the ladder at the deep end, and Bruce yelled out, pointing, "Sissy over there!"

Steve and Jake grabbed her and pulled her back in. The family fought each other in freezing water, ending up in the shallow end, when Bruce yelled. "Who's bad?"

"We're bad!" everyone except Buffy and Naruto yelled back.

"Who's tough?" Bruce yelled out.

"We're tough!" Everyone including Buffy and Naruto yelled back

"Who has big hairy balls?" Bruce yelled out.

"We have big hairy balls!" everyone yelled together.

The crowd around the pool started clapping and shouting at the insane people. The family all raised their arms in victory as they climbed out.

Bruce turned around to the shivering group when everyone was out of the pool. There were three grown family members unaccounted for," Bruce told them. The family looked over at Angela, Stephanie, and Mindy as Bruce turned around. Naruto guess he didn't include Tonya since she's pregnant but that was fine. As one, the family ran at them as all three let out shrill screams. They picked them up over their heads, carried them to the edge, and threw them in. Then they jumped in with them and started all over.

Bruce came up to the surface and yelled, "Only those with big hairy balls can come in! Sissies can stand in the corner dreaming of big hairy balls!"

Of the three hundred people there over a hundred ran and jumped into the pool immediately. Joe reached down and picked up Patrice. "Baby, you wouldn't, would you?" Patrice asked grabbing his neck.

Joe took off running toward the pool yelling. "We have big hairy balls, baby!" as he jumped in with Patrice in his arms.

Several of the kids in the clan didn't know what big hairy balls were, but they knew what swimming was. They ran and jumped into the pool, only to find out why people don't swim in winter, especially when it was forty degrees. Not even Naruto use the pool for training in the cold weather. The Olympic size pool was actually starting to get crowded as people continue jumping in.

Bruce looked up on the side of the pool to see Paul looking down at him. "I lost my big hairy balls, Bruce," Paul said, grinning.

Cheryl walked up behind Paul and pushed him in. "Don't worry," she said as she jumped in behind him, "your wife keeps them in the top dresser drawer." Seeing his Mom and Dad in the water, Chad jumped in with them.

The clan didn't play long before they started dragging their frozen wet a- out of the pool. Better than eighty percent of the clan had jumped in just to prove they were part of the came over and yelled, "Lunch is ready, but those with big hairy balls go dry off before they fall off!"

A soaked Susan walked over to Bruce, shivering with an equally soaked Conner behind her. "Bruce, I don't know if I like you today. I'm teaching class when Conner comes in talking about hairy balls, throws me over his shoulder, runs out, and jumps into the swimming pool. I think I'm sending you to the office," Cashe said. She ran into the followed by a smiling Conner.

Shikamaru came next shivering and soaked.

"You actually jumped in, Shikamaru?" Naruto asked.

"No, Temari bribed Choji into throwing me in saying we got to set an example as part of the command group before jumping in themselves," Shikamaru said.

Naruto burst out laughing.

Paul walked by next, shivering. "That was not even funny."

"Yes it was," Cheryl said behind him.

"Don't worry, dude. I know where she hides your balls at now. I'll steal 'em back for ya!" Mike yelled after him.

As Buffy talked to Bruce and Mike Naruto decided to head to the bunker he stays at to dry off and warm up as. Naruto decided to actually dress casual as he got the rest of the day off.

Naruto entered the hall to see Bruce grab a piece of bread from the food table.

"I seed that, Bruce!" Millie yelled.

Bruce jumped up on the closest table, careful not to knock off the occupant's tray, and bent over. "Come on girl, let me have it!" Bruce demanded.

"Where's my spoon?" Milled cried, running around the kitchen.

Bruce jumped off the table, ran over to the kitchen door bent over, and stuck his butt in. "Spank me good, I've been a bad boy." de declared, shaking his butt. Millie ran up behind him and popped him with the spoon. "Woo thank you ma'am! May I have another?" Bruce yelled out, bending over to a laughing Millie."

"Bruce, I'm telling Carrol you're teasing Millie again," Naruto shouted.

That straightened Bruce up. "Dang it Naruto, stop tattling on me!" Bruce whinnied.

"No can do. Carroll says she would give me some home baked cookies for every tattle," Naruto said.

Millie howled with laughter. Of course Naruto was just teasing Bruce. He knew MIllie didn't need backup to punish Bruce.

Bruce walked over to the table and stood behind Paul. "What needs to be done on the runway?" he asked.

"We just have to run the scraper over it, and tomorrow we can lay the asphalt."

"I'll do it," Bruce said, as Millie brought him his plate. I'll bring your plate back," Bruce promised her, heading to the door.

"Hey Bruce, have you driven a grader before?" Paul asked.

"Once," Bruce said, slinging is rifle across his shoulder calling Max to follow.

Paul was going to say something, but Mike shook his head. "If he's driven it once, he can do it," Mike stated.

A man stood up in the back of the hall and shouted. "Mike, with Bruce on our side, I kinda feel sorry for anything that messes with us!"

"No s-! So do I," Mike admitted.

"No argument here," Naruto said leaning back on his chair.
