Chapter 8: Konohamaru and the A-ranked Secret

Kiba growled for the umpteenth time. That kid from before was hiding behind that bush. He could tell because you could see the wrong color of green shading on the box behind it, and sticks of leaves poking out like antennae.

"For crying out loud, stop following us, twerp!"

Whether he heard it or not, the kid just kept following them, oblivious to the threat. Perhaps he was still mad that Naruto dumped him in the trashcan.

Finally, Naruto had enough of eating and walked up to the box, promptly lifting it up. This surprised the boy who jumped back a bit but he regained confidence real quick and looked superior.

"So you saw through my disguise, huh? No wonder you're such a great ninja."

"Buzz off, twerp." Naruto scolded, which surprised Kiba. Normally he would be all over praise like that.

"Are you still sore because that Sakura chick dissed you?" The kid asked.

Almost as soon as he said that, he found a kunai whiz by him, inches away from his cheek, thrown by the blue-and-orange matador ninja. If Konohamaru was scared before, he was frozen stiff now.

"…I'll take that as a maybe." He assured himself.

"Look, Kanahaki, was it?" Kiba began. "We don't know what you're planning, but we don't care either way, so just go back to playing whatever game it is you play now and-"

"Its Konohamaru!" the kid interrupted. "And I'm here for one reason only! That Pokemon!"

"Arashi?" Naruto asked bewildered. He knew he was the only Pokemon around, so he didn't need to look at the direction of the kid's pointing finger.

Arashi himself was surprised, yelping and looking at the boy who pointed at him. Kiba just raised an eyebrow, curious.

"That's right! He's the first Pokemon seen again in over a decade and I'm going to be one to have him. Once I do, I'll make it the strongest, coolest Lucario there ever is! And they'll have to make me their Hokage!" He found himself giggling and laughing the whole speech, proud and excited for this plan, uncaring of the hard and peculiar looks he was receiving.

"Now, come here little-"

CHOMP!

"YEOOOOOWCH!!"

No sooner did Konohamaru extended his hand to the Rioru, did it give a good hard bite on it, causing the grandson to scream in pain. He managed to pry it out and sucked the whole hand in his mouth, tears rolling down. Naruto and Kiba laughed.

"That's not funny!" Konohamaru said.

"It sure is!" Kiba said. "You had it coming."

"And Arashi is mine." Naruto stated. "I'm not just going to give him away."

"Not for anything?" Konohamaru asked.

"Of course not!" said Naruto.

"Not even for…this?"

From behind his bag, wrapped on his person, was a large scroll, all rolled and bundled up, showing some kind of royalty feel of superiority to the two of them. The two Genin and their dogs (save Akamaru) blinked, leaving Konohamaru to explain.

"This, my fair yet stupid stooges, is the one and only Sacred Secret Scroll of Konoha. All the high ranked and powerful jutsus from since the founding day of Konoha are all recorded on this very scroll. The very jutsu that destroyed the Nine-tailed Fox is in this scroll as well."

"For real!?" Naruto shouted, already reaching to grab it out of Konohamaru's hands. "Awesome! I can see myself now! Once I master that technique, I'll be the best ninja ever!"

"Ri ri rilu!" Arashi chimed in.

"Not so fast!" said Konohamaru. "You can't just have this scroll! It's an heirloom guarded by generations of Hokages!"

"And you must have a good reason to have stolen it from your own fault." Kiba deadpanned, catching on.

"I didn't steal it! I borrowed it!" Konohamaru exclaimed. "I'd be free to let you read the scroll but first…"

"Yes! I'd do anything for it!" Naruto said.

"…you must hand over the Riolu."

Instantly Naruto's cheerful expression turned sour. "Except that!"

Konohamaru frowned. "Dammit, I thought for sure that would work."

Naruto huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. "Look kid, I don't care how great that secret scroll is but I do know this. The short time I spend with Arashi so far is priceless. He's the first thing in a long time, maybe ever, that I ever felt was important and that I had something to myself only. The fact that guys like Sasuke and the so-called Hokage's grandson are greedy for him fills me with anger but also with pride that I have something that nobody else has. So, the answer, now and forever, is no, brat!"

The whole time, everyone stared at him with a mixture of surprise and awe, especially Arashi. He never heard such comforting words from his master before and was even more proud to have met him and see him defend his right to continue serving him.

After a while of staring, Konohamaru sighed, staring at the scroll. "Ok, fine. I won't ask for the Rioru. But… at least teach me the Oiroke no Jutsu!"

"NANI?!" Both teens spurred, shocked to hear the kid even suggest such a thing.

"It's my grandpa's only weakness!" He explained. "He reads Icha Icha Paradise nearly every break day and once passed out seeing that technique! It's the one thing I know I can beat grandpa with!"

"And you want to beat the Sandaime why?" Kiba asked, still in shock.

Konohamaru deadpanned. "I want beat him and become the next Hokage. Duh."

"Oi!" Naruto shouted, eyes sparking. "If anyone is going to be the next Hokage it's going to be me, twerp!"

"I'm next in line by right, peasant!" Konohamaru yelled, with equal static radiating.

"By the time you even get close enough to be Hokage, I would already be serving my 3rd term!"

"I thought that position was for life…" Kiba pondered.

Naruto and Konohamaru broke away from their electricfying stare to death glare at the Inuzuka. "STAY OUT OF THIS!"

And thus, Kiba did stay out.

After more staring and yelling, which almost brought the Inuzuka to dream land, Naruto eventually gave in.

"Alright, alright, fine! I'll teach you the Sexy Jutsu. But!" He added quickly, before Konohamaru cheered in glee.

"I read the scroll first! I need to know if it isn't a trick! After that, I'll teach you. Promise."

"Why? Just teach me YOUR technique and you can read the scroll after!"

"You STOLE the scroll, idiot! I can teach you the Sexy Jutsu any time but this is limited; possibly my only chance even. I'm not going to risk it now!"

"Yeah, you can teach me the Sexy Jutsu any time! How will I know you won't put it off forever?"

"Because I just gave you my word! Give me one good reason you can't trust my word!"

"Because you're a ninja?"

Naruto was silent after that, and Kiba only had one thing to say after that.

"He's got you there."

Naruto grunted, before coming with his own rebuttal. "Well so is everyone else in this village!"

And thus the spat continued.

---

Mizuki sighed trudging through the academy hallway. He wasn't very keen coming back after making that getaway, but he clearly lost 4 out of 5 matches to Iruka. He probably shouldn't have played Janken with him to settle this but what's done is done.

The only reason he was here was because they forgot some documents on student evaluation that needed to be turned in today. It was, in a child's way of saying, a Chuunin's homework assignment. What made this really difficult was avoiding the fangirls still enraged not to be on Sasuke's team. They suggested keeping Sasuke's team free of females so he might better focus himself without someone constantly badgering him over dates.

It seemed like a great idea at the time, in hindsight.

Either way, Mizuki was fortunate not to run into any student yet. With the documents at hand, he quietly and quickly walked to the nearest window, ever so slowly raising the frame up-

"Mizuki-sensei!" A student! Oh no; it sounded cracked. Like a female!

"GAH! Don't kill me!" He shouted, quickly cowering with his back towards the window and his arms in front of his face to protect himself.

"…what?" The voice asked, confused. Strange; it sounds much deeper now.

Ever so cautiously, Mizuki opened his right eye, seeing a black-clad man in front of him. It was Konohamaru's special instructor, Ebisu! Oh, thank Kami!

"E-ebisu!" Mizuki laughed. "What brings you here today?"

Shrugging off whatever fear Mizuki showed moments earlier, Ebisu frowned and spoke with upmost seriousness, trying not to crack again. "The Honorable Grandson has stolen the Sacred Scroll."

Mizuki's eyes widened, surprised. "Are you certain?"

"Of course. I was there when Konohamaru… slipped through my defenses." Ebisu said, looking ashamed. "He said something about trading it for a Riolu… whatever that meant."

Mizuki felt there was more to Ebisu's story, but stopped listening when he heard 'Rioru'. There was only one person he could be referring to… and he wasn't going to have that happen. "Tell me more on the way. We have to find Naruto!"

"Naruto? What would that de-"

"Don't ask! Just move!"

---

After a heated compromise, Naruto decided to let Konohamaru see him in the Sexy Jutsu at least once, and then as he would go read the scroll and learn what he needed to know, would help or see how Konohamaru was doing.

So far Naruto was having trouble trying to figure out what jutsu to use. Konohamaru said to use only one, and it was so tempting which one to pick out of such a powerful scroll, with an once-in-a-lifetime chance, even. He knew he couldn't pick something like Kage Bushin because that was his worse technique. How he was able to pull off the regular Bushin at the Genin exam was nothing short of a miracle and even the knuckle-head knew that.

But as he read, his face scrunched up deeper and deeper in frustration. Let's see… no, doesn't sound good. How about… no, too many hand seals to even count. Maybe… GAH! I don't even have a…whatever this needs!

Meanwhile, against his own will, Kiba was watching Konohamaru and telling him how to improve.

"Oiroke no Jutsu!" poof! In his place was a skinny, naked boy, who looked more like a feminine boy then a girl.

"Too boyish! Girl it up!" Kiba corrected, from his sitting position against a tree. Akamaru sat next to him, letting his free hand pet his white fur.

"Right! Again!" poof! The figure was a girl now, but didn't look attractive at all; just geeky.

"Focus! It needs to look attractive! Focus on the breasts and butt!"

"Breasts and Butt! Got it!" poof! When the smoke appeared, Konohamaru-chan was on the ground struggling to lift her huge rack and her ballooned butt was wiggling in the air. Even so, it was more creepy then sexy.

Kiba smacked his forehead. "You're doing it all wrong, kid!"

"Hey, I'm just listening to your instructions!" Konohamaru shouted, just dispelling the jutsu. "You're hardly what I call a professional at this!"

The Inuzuka blinked. "Excuse me?"

"Naruto-sama was the one who made the Sexy Jutsu and he's the one who let me learn it. You're probably just some jerk trying to mess up my training!"

"I'm helping you because you're doing it all wrong you little twerp! I'd rather see my own sister naked then your ugly transformations, and trust me, seeing my own family naked is creepy enough as it is!"

"I bet you can't even do this technique right!"

"What?!" Kiba's vein popped as Akamaru jumped away from his sitting position to him. The Inuzuka stomped towards the grandchild, practically fissuring the ground in his anger. "It's just a henge to another girl! Of course I can do it!"

"Can not!"

"Can too!"

"Can not!"

"Can too!"

"Can not!"

"Can too!"

"Can not!"

"Can too!"

"Prove it!"

"Can t- oh. Fine!"

Breathing in, Kiba focused on the henge sign, with a mental image of his own dream girl. "Oiroke no Jutsu!"

When the smoke disappeared, the figure was definitely feminine. Cute, perky curves and a well toned hip were covered by a thin layer of smoke, almost begging to be revealed. But that wasn't what really surprised the Third's grandson.

Kiba's usual feral dog face was replaced with a cat-like face, with a curved 3 smile and whiskers, black cat ears and a black tail. "Nyaaaah! What do you think?"

Konohamaru blinked, before deadpanning. "I think you're worse at it then me."

Kiba face-faulted, immediately dispelling the jutsu. "WHAT?! What is it with you?! You don't like neko-mata?!"

"You're the one who made it wrong! It wasn't anything like Naruto-sama's form!"

"That's because it's MY form! Don't I have the right to not follow the brat's own form of transformation?!"

Then Konohamaru had a sinister smirk on his face. "I get it. You like cats more then dogs. Does that mean you're a pussy cat?"

"THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!" Kiba snapped. His eyes were now white with rage, practically erasing any trace of pupils. "THE REASON YOU CAN'T DO IT MUST BE BECAUSE YOU'RE GAY!"

The younger boy's eyes flared just as bright. "THE HELL IT IS!"

This of course, let to more bickering on Kiba and Konohamaru's part, with a brawling scruffle dust cloud in progress, while Naruto struggled to find the right jutsu to use.

---

Mizuki frowned as he and Ebisu leaped through the forest. "Why would he steal the scroll anyway?"

"I'm afraid that's my fault." Ebisu said as they jumped another branch. "I was trying to give him the quickest training method to become suitable to be a Hokage but along the lines I mentioned the great techniques on the scroll."

"And you told him he could use them?" Mizuki asked, glaring.

"…When the time was right." Ebisu said, looking away. "He looked so downtrodden when I told him he wouldn't be ready in at least six years, so I thought that would be the end of that. I didn't think he would go so far to steal it right now."

"It's not that." Mizuki said, eyes narrowing. "He knew he couldn't use it so he tried to go for something he could right away."

"…You mean the Riolu he mentioned of?"

Mizuki nodded. "I think that since he knew the scroll was too powerful for him, he felt it would make a nice cheap trade off to get a Pokemon that hasn't been used since the days of the Yondaime. Knowing him, he must felt he would rise to Hokage in no time with that Pokemon."

"Sounds like the Honorable Grandson alright." Ebisu frowned. "Should we be worried?"

"Doubt it. Naruto is stubborn and wouldn't likely give away his Rioru to him. He wouldn't even give it to Sasuke. Besides, even if Naruto has the scroll, as long as he figures out there's nothing really great to gain, or neither of them read all the secrets of the scroll, everything should be fine."

Somewhere along his sentence, Ebisu grew tense. He hoped the Chunnin didn't sense it so he tried to pass it off the way only a skilled ninja could. "Sure! No problem!"

It didn't work; Mizuki did a double take over to his direction, his face turning from perplexed confusion to steady indignation. Inside the confinements of his own mind, Ebisu was sweating buckets.

'Gah! Why did my voice have to crack NOW?!'

"Ebisu," said the Chuunin, steady but powerful. "What did you tell him?"

---

Little did Naruto, Kiba, and Konohamaru knew, in the forest where the boys trained, that they were not alone. In one of the many tall trees, a shadow lurked, staying hidden within the leaves. Faint sunlight reached through the leaves and showed faint outlines of the shadow's form, but all the same, the shadow was unseen and liked it that way.

The shadow, a young woman, knew little of the boy's presence either, writing on her notebook. This continued until another shadow, a young man, landed on a branch just next to her. His tense face relaxed immediately when arriving and merely showed discomfort behind his mask.

"This sucks…" The newcomer groaned.

"Rough morning?" The woman asked.

The man scoffed. "More like rough day. This whole assignment getting on my nerves; I've been wandering around this village for who knows HOW long, working my ass off to be a well respected Jounin instructor, and for what? Putting up with bratty kids! It's always "best ninja!" this with the boys, and "prettiest guy!" that for the girls! What has this village come to?"

The woman waited until she knew the man was done, before making her own comment. "So, same old same old?"

"…yeah, pretty much."

The woman smirked. "Heh, sucks to be you I suppose."

"And what have YOU been doing?"

"Infiltrating ANBU forces. We just cleared our first mission and happened to run in some 'enemy' Shinobi forces."

The man's mood lightens a bit. "No kidding? Who?"

"Iwa."

The man blinked again. "The rock nuts? Why were they… uh, wherever you were patrolling?"

"It's only a wild guess, but I assume they were here for a meeting of sorts."

"With our boss?"

The woman rolled her eyes, picking up her binoculars. "Who else?"

"Huh. Well, if you ask me, I still think this is a bit early for him to be planning this ahead."

"And that is precisely the reason you're a lowly Jounin Instructor; because no one gives a damn about what you say."

"…wretch."

"What in the-?!"

"What? Never heard of an insult before?! Well I got plenty of them you little-!"

"Not that, you moron!" The woman interrupted, thrusting him her binoculars and pointing northeast. "That!"

Confused, the man looked through the binoculars. "I don't see anything but a few brats and a-HOLY SHIT! Is that a-?!"

"Our ticket to an early retirement!" The woman smirked.

At this point, a third shadow appeared from inside the man's backpack, poking its head out. It could barely be described with two long, bent ears and a big, soft horn poking out.

"Sooooo what are we waiting for?" it said.

"Indeed. Let's report this to our boss on the double." The woman said.

The male shadow chuckled, now having dollar signs for eyes. "I smell trouble and it's the kind that'll make us filthy rich!"

"Thaaaaaat's right!" the third shadow nodded.

With nothing more to gain sitting around, the three shadows left the tree, and vanished without a trace. They never even took to consideration what scroll Naruto was reading. If they had, they would probably try to steal it and cash in rewards for the other prize.

---

"YOU TOLD HIM THAT THE TECHNIQUE THAT DEFEATED THE KYUUBI WAS IN THERE?! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!"

"I-i-it was just a simple story to keep his spirits up!" Ebisu explained. "I never meant any harm in it! Besides, that is what everyone else was told!"

"Yeah, they were told the Kyuubi was dead but never that the technique that did it WAS WITHIN THEIR GRASP!"

Ebisu cringed again. Mizuki wasn't just mad. He was flaming mad with steam blowing out of his ears and nostrils puffing out smoke. The fact that he pinned him down to a tree shortly after he told him that little mistake made him even more nervous.

In his mind, Mizuki had every right to be mad. Because of Ebisu, he jeopardized the safety and secrecy of the whole leaf village. Naruto or Konohamaru, or someone far worse, may read the scroll far enough to read the final technique; the Death god sealing technique: Shiki Fuujin. Just using it would ensure the end of one's life and wasn't meant to be toyed around by Genin!

He calmed himself though; if they could arrive before the boys (or even anyone else) finds it and reads the scroll to the end, they should be fine.

But that's a very big if.

"We can sort out your punishment later, Ebisu!" Mizuki said, which the Special Jounin replied with some eased off tension, if only slightly. "We need to find the scroll before the boys reach the end of the scroll!"

---

Naruto continued to read through the scroll, bored and oblivious to any techniques written on it. Then, when he reached the end, he almost gave up and was about to give Konohamaru a huge fit about these stupid techniques.

Keyword: was. He stopped midway on that task when he read the last technique, and just quirked his eyebrow in confusion.

"Huh? What's a 'See-key Fudgen?"

Apparently hearing his pronunciation, Konohamaru stopped bickering with Kiba and ran over to Naruto. "That's 'Shiki Fuujin'! It's the technique that defeated the Kyuubi no Yoko twelve years ago!"

"Really?" Naruto said, looking at it closely. "Doesn't sound like any super jutsu I expect it to be."

"Let me see that!" Konohamaru demanded, snatching the paper from the Genin's hands. His face scrunched thoughtfully as he read the technique. "Hmm… 'Use of this technique will result in sacrificial offering of one's self to the Death God.'"

"Death, in other words." Kiba finished coldly.

Naruto's eyes widened as he digested this information. "Wait, death?! How am I supposed to be a super strong ninja if I die after I use it?!"

"W-well, it IS the technique that the Yondaime used to defeat the Kyuubi no Yoko…" Konohamaru explained, though with stutters. "I guess it would make sense that it killed him too."

Curious of the 'technique', Kiba snatched the scroll from Konohamaru's hand and looked at it himself. The pre-genin immediately got upset over it. "Hey! Give that back!"

"Yeah, I haven't finished choosing yet!" Naruto chimed.

Kiba blinked. "This is a sealing technique." Konohamaru gasped and Akamaru growled while Naruto just scrunched his face in confusion. Arashi merely mimicked him, a little game to appeal his master.

"Sealing? What's a sealing?"

Kiba side-glanced at Naruto, seeing how even the 3rd's grandson was upset by his IQ. "See, that's the particular reason why you're the dead-last and I'm not."

Naruto's glare hardened. "That still doesn't answer my question."

Konohamaru sighed before explaining, while picking up a stick on the ground. "Basically, a Sealing technique is just that; it seals." With the stick, he drew a circle in the dirt, with a triangle diagram in the center. The triangle circle now had little numbers around the outer rim, running along like a clock.

"It acts as a sort of virtual doorway that is meant to keep things in, or in some cases, out and away from everything else."

"Ok, I get it, I guess." Naruto nodded, when in reality, he didn't get how something like sealing can work.

"Yeah? Well what I don't get," said Kiba, "is what happened to the Kyuubi no Yoko."

Now Naruto was really confused. "What do you mean? It's dead, isn't it?"

"That's what I thought too but Kanahaki right here said that this 'Sealing' Technique was what 'killed' the Kyuubi, right?"

"That's what the pervert told me," replied Konohamaru, deciding to ignore the mispronouced name again. Naruto and Kiba blinked at the term 'pervert' but shrugged it off.

"So if that's the case then the Kyuubi is very well alive." Kiba said. "Just sealed."

"Well… that's a good thing, right?" Naruto asked, starting to catch on.

"Not sure. Considering how much damage the Kyuubi no Yoko did to our village over a decade ago, we're not so much ready for another assault like that."

"Plus, seals are known to wear out over time." Konohamaru added. "It could be due to break any day now."

Naruto didn't like hearing these two talk like that, all serious and moody. It was like being told this was their last day alive and all because they just figured out that the Kyuubi isn't truly dead? Ok, that fact may have surprised him too but at least it's gone, right?

Not wanting to put up with this kind of attitude, he shot up from the dirt ground he sat on and shouted at them.

"Shut up, will ya?! So what the Kyuubi is alive? The Yondaime himself decided to make sure that giant furball wouldn't destroy our village and that's what he did! He saved us so why should we care if it's alive or not?"

"Because there's always the potential that it could come back and finish what it started?" Kiba answered. Naruto just shot back a glare.

"But I suppose you're right." The Inuzuka continued. "This is the Yondaime and he was able to beat the Stone ninja at the last Great War or something so we should be fine, right?"

"Yeah, I hope so," Konohamaru nodded.

Naruto grinned and Arashi did as well. They would never doubt their hero and idol, especially after knowing the actual secret to his victory.

"There you are, Grandson!"

Whatever happy moment the boys had was swiftly halted. From a short distance of them, two Shinobi landed in the clearing just behind them, both very familiar.

"Mizuki-sensei!"

"And Ero-sensei!"

Ebisu promptly face-faulted as Mizuki resisted the urge to laugh. "My name isn't Ero-sensei! It's Ebisu-sensei!"

"You're still a pervert!" Konohamaru shouted.

"Listen." Mizuki said. "We came here to fetch the scroll that you stole, Konohamaru. If you just come quietly…"

"And let me train you like a good boy, then we can all be on our merry way!"

Ebisu's interruption didn't do well on the mindset of Konohamaru and Mizuki, The Chunin teacher smacked his forehead at the foolishness he just pulled. 'This won't be over anytime soon…'

"Got a plan to get rid of this joker?" Kiba whispered to Naruto.

"Just watch." The blonde Genin whispered, as he sneakily walked around the arguing group. His hands formed together in a cross formation, ready to use a jutsu.

Meanwhile, the 3rd's grandson exploded with a wrath that was just waiting to come out for a long time. "Hell no! I want to be strong and remembered! Not dolled up by some stupid pervert!"

Ebisu looked stunned and shocked at the same time, appalled by Konohamaru's reject.

"B-b-b-but I'm a great instructor! I've taught all the previous Hokage candidates who will strive to take your Grandfather's place! But of course, you shall be the one, true Godaime… if you follow me of course."

"No!" The young boy spat at him.

Now Ebisu was threatening mad. "Listen, honorable Grandson. I'm going to count to three, and I will expect you to walk over here and return that scroll! ONE!-"

"Awwww, why be so strict, Ebisu-kun?"

All males in the forest stopped their previous actions (including breathing) when the say a young, blonde haired girl was up behind Ebisu's back, rubbing her chest against his back and hugging him lightly. It was enough to make Ebisu feel light-headed.

"T-t-t-t-two!" He continued, trying not to be swayed.

Konohamaru saw his chance, and used his Sexy Jutsu too. This time it was a complete success, and worthy to make the tutor's glasses fog heavily. Between Naruto's form and Konohamaru's newly shapely 20-year form of the opposite sex, it was enough to make his brain shut down for a few moments.

"Paweeeeeeeese don't pwunish me!" He said in a 'cutesy-wootsy' voice, while hugging his right shoulder close to his imaginary rack. Now Ebisu was beyond reason.

Mizuki was also infatuated by the illusions, but wasn't a particular problem to him since he had no clones to work on. "R-remain calm, Ebisu! Remeber, the scroll!"

"Oh Mizuki-senseeeeeeei!"

"Gah! Don't kill me!" Mizuki shouted again, worried it was a fangirl. When he opened his shut eyes, it wasn't a fangirl. It was worse than that.

Two more Sexy Jutsu illusions.

"Awwww, why do you have to say that?" Kiba cat moaned. "We just want your company!"

Akamaru cat just purred in agreement. The two of them moved in and swiftly latched onto the teacher, purring all the while as they 'cuddled'.

If that wasn't enough for the Chuunin and Jounin Tutor, all four 'girls' kissed them on the cheek of their targets, causing them to pass out in a bloody, sexy concussion.

With their mission succeeded, the boys dispelled their jutsu, laughing hard as they reminiscence the faces of the poor teachers.

"Oh man, Mizuki-sensei looked like he was about to have a heart attack!" Kiba laughed. Akamaru barked in agreement, and Arashi applauded them all.

"Yeah! That was even worse then when he saw me doing the justu on him!" Naruto nodded.

Kiba accusingly, but half-heartedly, pointed at the Uzumaki. "Aha! So you did use the Sexy Jutsu during the exams!"

"Guilty as charged!" He beamed.

"I'm just glad I got back at that pervert sensei!" Konohamaru grinned. "Never again will I listen to his dumb rules!"

"Hurrah to that!" Kiba and Naruto cheered, while Akamaru and Arashi barked in unison.

After calming down, the boys continued to walk back to the academy and drop Konohamaru off so they can do back and meet up with Sakura and the others.

During the walk, Naruto looked over the scroll again, back at the first listed Jutsu. "Say, maybe that Kage Bushin Jutsu ain't such a bad technique after all…"

Kiba was surprised, since Naruto only passed because of fool's luck with Bushin. "Really? How come?"

"Are you kidding?! You saw how those guys reacted when all of us used the Sexy Jutsu? Doing it on my own was sweet enough, but think about it: I can make as many Sexy clones as I make with Shadow clones!"

The other two boys laughed, albeit sweatdropping a bit. "Shoulda known you would want to use it for something like that." said Kiba.

"Ah crap!" Konohamaru shouted. "How the hell am I supposed to bring back the scroll now?"

"Just give it to your granddad?" Kiba suggested.

"I would, but if I do that, it would mean going to public and showing everyone that I did steal it! I know I'd be in trouble regardless but everyone will hate me if they see me like this!"

"I think you're overreacting," Kiba deadpanned.

"Still, it would have been a good idea to leave the scroll with those guys, huh?" Naruto said. Kiba merely shrugged, not caring of the consequences he wasn't a part of.

"Alright, I guess I'll return it then." Naruto said, as he made a U-turn.

"Huh?" Both boys asked.

"It's not a big deal. Closet Pervert and Mizuki-sensei were looking for this, right? If we just give it back then we will be on our merry way. And best of all, they won't know where we are after they get it because we will be long gone. Problem solved."

"Huh, sounds easy when you put it down like that." Kiba smirked.

"I'll catch up with you and Sakura-chan later. See ya Kiba! You too, Konohamaru!"

Konohamaru just stared at the retreating figure of Naruto, closely followed by Arashi. A small smile tugged the boy's lips.

'He… he said my name…'

---

"I can't believe we were subdued by such a technique." Ebisu said, rubbing his head of the sweat that lingered there.

"It was your own fault." Mizuki said, pulling his sticky jacket away from his chest. "You got the Third's Grandson riled up long enough for Naruto and the boys to use it on us."

"I just wanted what's best for the Honorable Grandson!"

"Apparently, what he wants is to be friends with Naruto." Mizuki had come to see Naruto in a new light recently. While he still feels he needs to mature greatly, he could see from Iruka's point of view how it can be rough for him to grow up the way he did. He couldn't be half as bad as the rest of the village thinks he is.

"If he has to make friends, I would wish he would choose someone around his own age and knows good judgment."

Mizuki's eyes widened. "Ebisu-"

"We can't have him run around with it! He may influence him the wrong way for the wrong reason!"

Mizuki grew apprehensive seeing that the other Jounin wasn't listening. "Ebisu-!"

"I'm just glad we stopped this potential 'friendship' before it got worse and they found out that he-"

Finally he couldn't take it anymore. "SHUT UP OR HE'LL FOUND OUT HE HAS THAT THING SEALED INSIDE HIM!"

Mizuki covered his mouth, completely shocked at his own action while Ebisu stared at him with a reflecting manner. He slowly glanced back and there stood Naruto, eyes wide and barely clutching the scroll. Mizuki dodged a bullet, he thought, but already said to much when it came to 'sealed'. He just hoped that Naruto wouldn't put somehow figure out from such a vague clue.

For what seemed like an eternity, he dropped it and ran off the other direction, not looking back. That spoke enough. He did know. He knew about the Shiki Fuujin. He knew about the sealing. He knew about the Kyuubi no Yoko.

Both jounins exchanged subdued glances and thought relatively the same thing.

'Way to go, Mizuki.'

OoC: Yeah, sorry this took so long. I'm now doing this in rare times of update. The story will definitely have more action next chapter, where the team meets their sensei. And I know how many of you are bored with the same old thing. Rest assured; I tend to spice things up a bit. Like the indirect way of learning Kage Bushin or learning about the Kyuubi.

And I'm sure everyone will be familiar to what the shadows are like.

Also note, this is the last beta-work by a beta-reader and friend of mine: Elenea Galad. After a few or so chapters, I went seeking for help and found Elly, who always found my story interesting. Now I'm afraid this is her last time pre-reading my story, and it will be time for me to find a new one.

A bit of a shout-out to her: Thanks for reading my first few chapters, Elly.

And thanks to the reviewers and alerters so far. I plan to aim on this being the best Naruto/Poke'mon crossover on this site, and have come to believe it is true thus far, even if it has a very slow beginning. So thanks for sticking with me so far.
