Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. ::sigh::
This is just something I had to get out and onto the internet. NarutoxSakura.

Pranks
Naruto is a prankster at heart; even if he is 18 years old the thrill just doesn't escape. He loved the sheer excitement from totally humiliating someone he knew. He just didn't understand why everyone did not feel the same. Sakura and Naruto have been dating for a year and a half.
Sasuke has been back for two years and is still under constant surveillance. Had it not been for Naruto's connection to Tsunade he would have been long dead, but of course Naruto used his huge blue puppy dog eyes on her and she had no choice. However, he was constantly watched, and had a chakra tracker in him courtesy of Yamato. He is on probation after serving 8 months, in jail. Jail in Konoha is not easy, guards could beat, interrogate, and taunt prisoners; after all it is a Shinobi jail.
Lately, Sakura had noticed Naruto carrying around a notepad inspecting certain parts of the city and his home (she had moved in, but there was nothing perverted going on) occasionally writing down what he saw. She understood it as an assignment from Tunade to familiarize himself with the village he would soon command. (He is to become Rokudaime in another year.)
"Hokage-Sama wake up!" yelled a clearly upset Shizune.
"Hm..?" she lifted her head for a split second only to lay it back down and fall asleep.
"Wake up!" no response came. "WAKE UP!" At that Tsunade woke up clearly pissed off. "You have work to do, if you remember you are the Hoka-." She had just opened her eyes after what seemed to be a ridiculously long sigh and head shake, to see Tsunade's face "vandalized."
"What?"
"…Your face"
"What about it?"
"It is covered in orange marker, and it says I'm an old, lying ha-" At that moment she realized the assailant. "Naruto what have you done. You're going to get yourself killed"
"NARUTO!!!" Tsunade burst through the door of her office, to find a poster in the hall that said "Grandma Tsunade…" it went on from there. She didn't need to read it, she knew it would be demeaning.
"Tsunade-sama come quick!" Shizune called Tsunade into another room. She pointed to the Hokage monument. The right side of her face was covered in orange graffiti. It said "If you guess my age you can become Hokage today."
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU BRAT!" she yelled at the top of her
lungs. A vein in her forehead now the size of a python was clearly
pulsating. "Does that brat live to piss me off? What have I done
in a past life to deserve this hell!"
"SHIT! I'm going to be late to the hospital! Why didn't you wake me up Naruto?" Sakura, currently washing her face, had to get to her rounds in less than 5 minutes to meet with Tsunade at 7:00 a.m.
"You looked so peaceful."
"That is a lame excuse do I look peaceful now."
"No"
"Well now you know. Could you get me towel stat?"
"I hate how she uses her medical lingo now like she's a full-fledged doctor." He got her a towel. "Yeah here you go Sakura." He gave her the towels and the honorifics were no longer necessary ever so he never used them. "Actually, I'll get that for you" he said wiping off her face.
"Thanks" she said not knowing Naruto had put orange powder on the towel earlier. He knew she would ask for one, she always does. "Crap! Sakura it is already 7:0 4. C'mon I'll walk you there."
"Alright let's go."
As they were walking, Sakura could hear sneering and laughing in their direction. She thought it was because of the poor blonde next to her. Unbeknownst to her, it was her now orange face.
"I wonder why everyone is snickering and smiling at us today. People stopped bothering Naruto for years now" she saw TenTen and Hinata walking along the street and thought she should ask them.
"What is everyone laughing about?"
"W-well Sakura-san t-they a-are laughing… w-well…ummm-" said a nervous Hinata. It wasn't that Naruto was there. She got over him. It was the fact that telling Sakura would mean seeing Sakura pissed.
"That's a nice shade of makeup Sakura. It matches with the couple thing I guess"
She looked at TenTen perplexed. "I didn't wear any make-" TenTen had a mirror held up to Sakura's face.
"See."
"Shit! WHAT THE FUCK!! NARUTO I"LL GOING TO KILL YOU" It was too late Naruto was already on a mad dash to get the hell out of there. "Shit where is he"
"There look" said inner Sakura. She then followed the blonde which would have been harder had it not been for his bright colors
"Shit I wasn't expecting that too happen. Damn TenTen. I have to think of a way out of this, maybe flowers or dinner or something. I need another plan now though to save my ass, I guess that's the mark of a true prankster 'always think on your feet.'"
Sakura couldn't catch up to the future Rokudaime. She needed help. Luckily, Tsunade showed up.
"The brat." Sakura nodded, and they both knew what needed to be done.
"Let's kill him." They went and chased him at full speed.
A knock was heard and the Yamanaka Flower shop. "It is probably the rose delivery I should get that."
"Could you get that?" Inoichi asked his daughter from the back.
"I already did."
"Ok"
Ino opened the box to find atleast 30 to 40 roses had been spray painted orange. "Naruto" she thought for a second.
She also found a stuffed fox doll. "What the hell does he try to taunt me? That bastard. I'll kill him."
She suddenly saw a yellow and orange blur pass by the store. She ran out of the store and after the blonde idiot.
"I'll be right back." she said to her father before the door closed. "After I kill this stupid punk that is."
"Shit, Shit, Shit. Tsunade-baachan, Ino, and Sakura are all after me, fuck. I'll have to pull a quick one to get out of this. DAMN a dead end!"
Naruto, the idiot he is, ran into a dead end. "CRAP, CRAP, CRAP!"
Ino slowly walked up to him, glaring, like a tiger stalking its prey. Just as she was about to "pounce," Sakura and Tsunade come quickly around the corner.
"NARUTO UZUMAKI, what the hell were you thinking!" boomed a pissed of Tsunade the marks on her face now washed off. "You made Sakura and I look like FOOLS!"
"Yeah and you wasted my flower shops money."
"I'm so sorry." He looked at them with his sad puppy dog eyes.
"Oh you'll be sorry." Sakura said putting on her black gloves.
"But Sakura-cha-" He used the honorific and Tsunade knew what that meant.
"YOU are not getting out of this that easy, but first explain yourself." All three medical kunoichi looked at him arms crossed and feet tapping.
"Yes! Alright I'll need to make up something that moves them into a forgiving mood. Think, think…OH I've got it."
The shinobi's big blue eyes looked began to shine a little as he gave them a sad look. That look, on its own softened the hearts of all three kunoichi, as all of them thought, "He has got such beautiful eyes."
"Well," he began, "I'm so lonely. You guys are always off doing your own cool things in the village while I'm stuck at home."
"You have other friends," Sakura said rather cold.
"Yeah, but I like you guys more. I mean Sasuke is under probation so we can't do anything that is too much fun. Neji and Shino have sticks in their asses. Need I say more? You guys… you guys are the best and I miss you." At the end of this he looked down until his hair covered his eyes, as if he was trying to selfishly keep their persuasive glare.
"Naruto…" Sakura looked at the sad boy in front of her. "He's just a boy who misses you, God you didn't have to be so hard on him." "Shut up." She finally spoke again. "I'm sorry I've been so busy at the hospital. I promise I will spend more time with you."
"Me too"
"I guess I can at least talk and not yell when you come into the office"
"So you forgive me." His face lit up so much that it was almost blinding. They all nodded. "You guys are the best" He jumped up and embraced all three of them, considering he was fairly taller than all of them.
"I'll make it up to ya. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" Two clones showed up, making a total of three Narutos.
"Tsunade-Baabchan did you even read the whole poster"
"No"
"Read it," he said grinning.
She pulled it out and read, "Grandma Tsunade… is the best old lady ever and if you stare at her you'll have to deal with me." She seemed at a loss of words. "This kid never ceases to amaze me."
"Yes the jutsu worked I managed to put the seal right otherwise she would have read more stuff about being a hag. Thank you Ero-sennin." He spoke up. "Well I go clean the monument, did you read that it also says the same thing as the poster."
"Screw it Naruto. I'll get Jiraiya to clean it" she leaned in and gave the bunshin in front a kiss on its forehead.
"Ew. Thanks though, you really are the coolest old lady ever." The bunshin disappeared.
The bunhsin in front of Ino started to speak, "Hey Ino-chan I'll help you go pick some more roses outside of the city." Ino was in awe.
"He is so nice. Sakura is so lucky. I want to give him atleast a kiss on the cheek."
Sakura saw this and gave her a look that said 'ok go ahead, but I still got the real deal'
Ino kissed a somewhat startled Naruto on the cheek. He had also seen the look Sakura gave and understood it was ok and thought nothing of it
"Well let's go Ino-chan," the blonde dragged her out of the city by the wrist.
"As for you Sakura-chan, I'm giving you a piggy back to the hospital," he said as he wiped her face of the powder with his sleeve. "Then when your shift is done we are going to get something to eat"
She gave him a soft kiss and said, "One cut this –chan crap, you're off the hook." She got on his back. "Two, we aren't going to Ichiraku's."
"But-" She shot him a glare. He realized he was trying to milk it, so he dropped the case. "Fine."
On the way to the hospital he grinned and silently thought, "I rock. I'm the king of all pranks. No one can ever defeat me. I talked my way out of three beatings and a cleaning. Damn I should write a book."
For Naruto the challenge of the prank is what he looks forward too. It's not the challenge of the plan, but the challenge of the excuse, no repeats allowed. It was definitely something only Naruto could pull off.
A/N. I might make this into like a bunch of stories, but as it is the story stands on its own.
Well give me good reviews and I will think about it.
