It was another good pranking day for Naruto. He sat, cross-legged, on his bed. There would be no missions tomorrow, meaning he could stay up late. He hadn't played a good prank I a while. Since he had graduated from the academy, a year ago, he hadn't had much time to really get any pranking done. But who to pull it off on?

"I got it!" Naruto snapped his fingers. He would mess with that old closet pervert, Ebisu. After much assurance, Naruto now knew that he was in no way related to Shino, he just likes their style. That would mean he wouldn't be caught.

Naruto remembered the one and only time he had ever tried to prank the Aburames. He had taken flypaper and put it on every available surface in the compound. He was just finishing out a patch of ground when he heard a loud buzzing behind him. He turned around and found most of the clan, kikaichu swarming, standing behind him.

He winced at the memory, and looked at his left arm, where the scar remained. He also thought about the time he tried to prank the Inuzukas.

He had taken several dog items, like squeaky toys and rawhides, and showered the compound with them. Now, mind you, the dogs didn't mind one bit, but the clansmen knew that it was supposed to be derogatory. Naruto, always a thinker, seemed to forget just how doggish the clan was. He got sniffed out immediately. Below the kikai scar, Naruto looked at the scar left by Kuromaru's bite.

Naruto had thought about doing this to Kakashi, but he was too much like a dog and would smell him.

So, Ebisu it was. Naruto went to the store to buy all the things he needed to pull it off, and went back home, plotting.

When night fell, Naruto sealed the stuff in a scroll and snuck to Ebisu's house. After peeking into the bedroom window, he concluded that the jounin was asleep. Perfect. He unrolled the scroll and unsealed all the items. He had several things to do tonight.

He took a bunch of ugly underwear, men's and women's alike, as well as socks, and littered the yard and trees with them. Afterwards, he took out a shovel and dug a hole right in front of the door, about two feet deep, and filled it with water. He covered it with a piece of newspaper, putting rocks on the end to prevent it from falling in. He covered the paper with the dirt, patting it down gently. Naruto was glad that the man had a dirt path and not a sidewalk.

He disposed of the dirt behind the bushes in his flowerbed by the door. The next part, which won't take effect for a few months, was to plant random but fast growing plants all around the yard. He took packets of pumpkin, gourd, bramble, and grape out of his pocket, and started to plant them all over the yard. Besides, when would he have another chance to do that? Probably not for a while.

Naruto thought of the Inuzukas again, and smiled at the next stage of his prank. He took out butcher's bones and poor cuts of meat. He also had dog treats. He buried all of these items randomly in the nice cultivated garden, especially around the bigger plants. That would be quite a sight when the Inuzukas take their dogs for a walk, and they all happen to pass by this house. They would surely smell the goodies buried in the garden.

For the next step, he played on the closet pervert's weakness. Naruto had manages to smuggle a Playboy magazine from the bookstore. He tore out many of the pictures and posted them all over the front of the house. He laid the remaining magazine on the front stoop.

And, last but not least, Naruto did the most basic of all, he teepeed the entire house, and being a ninja, was able to make sure that the entire house was covered.

Naruto took a step back and surveyed his work. Perfect. He knew that the man got up at 6:00 in the morning, so he would come back then. He gathered his belongings and dashed back home. Setting his alarm, he went straight to bed.

It seemed like no time had passed when the alarm went off. Naruto had considered smashing it and going back to sleep, but then he remembered the prank. He got his jacket and shoes on, and took off on the rooftops to Ebisu's house. Staying on a neighbor's roof, he watched. The fun won't start until he comes outside. After waiting for about half an hour, he heard the doorknob jiggle.

Naruto snapped back to attention and watched with great interest as the door opened.

"What the…what the hell!?" Ebisu said as he bent down and picked up the magazine from the ground. He turned around to close the door, and then noticed all the pictures posted on the side of the house. Even from that distance, Naruto could see the small nosebleed.

Ebisu was about to peel the pictures off when a flutter of white caught his eye. He looked and saw a lone ribbon of toilet paper. Backing up to take a look at his house, he stepped right over the hole and broke through the top, one leg in the hole and falling backwards onto his back. He yelled. He fisted his hand in anger, but a piece of fabric was in his hand. He pulled it in front of his face to see what it was, and it was a small, lacey thong. He immediately flung the object and pulled himself out of the muddy hole.

Naruto snickered. From this height, he could see Kiba and his mother taking most of the dogs for a walk. Since they are nin-dogs, they do not need to be on a leash. As they passed by the house, dozens of canine noses flew into the air. The pack of dogs flew into the yard and dug up Ebisu's garden. He started to yell at them and pull them out. The two Inuzukas ran in to assist in stopping the dogs.

"What happened here!?" Tsume exclaimed.

"I don't know. It was like this when I came out."

Kiba sniffed the air, then some of the various items.

"You know, this stuff smells an awful lot like Naruto."

Naruto, honoring his village's namesake, decided to make like a tree and leave.

Sorry for the wait, again, I was taking a break. As always, review!
