~Lian's POV~
I leave my home, shutting it loudly to hopefully wake up Kakashi. I had a restless night because one of his summoning dogs was ill, meaning, he was sleeping over...
...with almost all the other summoning dogs.
Fun? Right?
So, seeing as it was extra early today I decide not to go and annoy Nat - he needs all the beauty sleep he can get. Aren't I such a good friend?
Instead, I'm going to get the academy early so I can prank Iruka before class. I'm such a good student, aren't I?
I'm a hop-skipping-and-a-jumping to the academy when I hear my name being called, turning around, and there's my pranking buddy!
"Naruto! Just in time, I gotta prank!" I announced, when I noticed he had paint brushes and colourful pots of paint.
"Hey, me too!" he grinned, holding up the paint.
"Your prank already seems better than mine, what is it?" I ask, rubbing my hands together in the evil villain manner.
Naruto then narrows his eyes as he looks around the area, checking to make sure no one is around to listen in. This prank must be good if he's taking caution...
"You can keep a secret, yeah?" he says suspiciously.
"Like a banana." I reply.
Now, some may find this a random answer and wonder why on earth I would reply like this! ...oh, you didn't wonder? Well then...I don't know whether you are just rude for not participating in the story line or just think it's something I would say, but either way...I am offended!
I will have you know that this is the answer we came up with many centuries ago, in our past lives as amazing people, and have used to make sure that no one is doing the transformation jutsu on us!
"So, what's the big secret?" I ask.
Naruto grins. "I'm gonna paint the Hokage Mountain!" he announces and chuckles evilly.
I gasp with an 'o' face and also grin evilly. "Really? Didn't know you had it in you, welcome to the criminal side!"
"What?"
"What indeed." I grin
"I'm not a criminal!" Naruto protests, "I just need to make a point!"
"Why you doing that?"
"What do you mean?" Naruto asks.
"Well, you wanna be Hokage so I thought that you would be kneeling before the and asking for their wisdom and power or something." I shrugged. "Again."
"I have never done that!"
"..."
"Alright, it was only once! And it was that time me and you snuck into that bar!" Naruto pouted and I laughed at the memory.
"That was fun..." I chuckled. "Alright, I wanna help! We still have some time to kill before we gotta be at the academy."
Naruto grins and hands me a bucket of paint and a paintbrush. "Let's go!"
- - - - - - - - - - -
"Oops, we're late." I inform Naruto after looking down at my watch.
"Oh well..." he replies and flicks more paint on the third's face. "I think that's enough to get us noticed."
I roll my eyes. "I think a blind man would notice this."
"There they are!"
I turned my head and saw a group of ninja coming our way.
Me and Naruto looked at each other with a panicked look before, "RUN!"
We jumped off the mountain and landed on the roofs of the buildings below, I skidded down the side of one and landed in an alleyway. Naruto was still on the roof and being chased by two ninja, I saw another two heading my way and took off running.
The fact that we're used to this says a lot...
I meet up with Naruto as he jumps on the ground and he nods at me, signalling he has a plan. We both jump onto the next roof and land, before jumping onto another and taking off again. Yes. 'We' were still being chased.
We both started giggling and dropped the sheet which looked like the fence. "Ha, we fooled them!" Naruto laughed and high fived.
"That was so great!" I cheered.
"We are the next legendary ninja!
"Yeah!"
"Oh really?"
I screamed.
Naruto screamed.
"Iruka sensei! What're you doing here?!" we both shout.
He grabs our collars before we can take off again. "I should be asking you the same thing." he says before dragging us off to the academy.
Kakashi ain't gonna be to happy after this...oh well, it's not like it would be the first time.
Along the way, Naruto made many snarky remarks which made me laugh and Iruka-sensei angry and after the third attempted escape he tied Naruto up...not wanting to end up like my blonde friend I decided escape could wait for later...
(Shikamaru's POV)
What a drag.
I woke up to find that Iruka-sensei has gone to find Naruto and Lian by the rest of the class being way too loud.
"Hey, pineapple man! You haven't happened to see Lian today, have you?" Nat asked from the seat behind me.
I rolled my eyes at the nickname. "Quit calling me that..."
"But it's a good name for you." the twins said shrugging their shoulders. "Plus, Lian calls you that!"
"Maybe she's with Naruto..." Choji suggested.
"Probably." I agreed and laid my head on the table, preparing to sleep when all that could be heard was...
"Sasuke's mine!"
"Get out of my way!"
"Sasuke!"
"Shut up!"
"Oh my gosh!"
"I love your hair Sasuke!"
"Sasuke, can I sit next to you?"
"Stop annoying him!"
"He doesn't even like you!"
I turn my head, sensing a dark and dangerous aura behind me. And there was Gwen shaking in rage. "Silence!"
And the classroom was silent, finally.
Many members of the class, mostly the male population, all breathed a sigh of relief as the group of fan girls were silenced.
"You have two choices!" Gwen announced. "Pick a seat ya'll won't fight for, or meet me outside at lunch and we can settle everything then..."
Me and Choji both hide our smiles while Nat and Den full on laugh behind us.
"Preach it, sister!"
"Ditto to that!"
And now they're yelling...
Suddenly the door slides open and in comes Iruka-sensei with a tied up Naruto and a free Lian. Iruka-sensei places Naruto down and glares at Lian who turns away from Iruka-sensei with a huff, making him glare harder.
What did they do this time...?
- - - - - - - - - - -
(Lian's POV)
"Naruto, you failed the exam last year and the year before that and your messing it up again!" Iruka scowled Naruto but the blonde boy just looked away in a huff. "And you Lian, I didn't think you'd stoop to this level."
"You always ruin all the fun Iruka-sensei." I tell him, still facing away.
Iruka-sensei seethes before turning to the class. "For Naruto and Lian's behaviour, you will all be doing the transformation jutsu! Line up!"
The whole class groans as we realise we need to do it again. I think I heard Shikamaru's being the loudest as I see he is, once again, the most reluctant to move.
Up first... "Sakura Haruno." Iruka calls.
Sakura Haruno. A pink haired fan-girl of Sasuke who fights with another fangirl called Ino on a daily basis. She is mostly a know it all and is quite annoying majority of the time.
"Transform!" she said loudly, turning into Iruka. She then transformed back, "I did it I did it! Did you see that Sasuke?" You see my point?
"Hn..." the talking duck replies as Sakura went by him to sit back down.
"Sasuke Uchiha!" Iruka calls.
Sasuke Uchiha. The boy with duck shaped hair, making me believe he was raised by ducks. He has no good sense in food as he doesn't like sweets. He also spends his time brooding and training, which apparently all the girls go for.
He transforms into Iruka then back again without any trouble. "Ugh...good." Iruka compliments awkwardly.
"Next up, Lian Titen!" Iruka calls and I step forward.
"Transformation awesome jutsu!" I say and in a puff of smoke I transform into Iruka dancing like me and Naruto have seen him do when he's walking down the corridor thinking no one is watching.
He was wrong...
Majority of the class laughed and I high fived a few people as I made my way to my seat.
"Not necessary..." I heard him mutter making me grin. "Naruto Uzumaki." he then calls.
I start hearing complaints from around the class making me scowl.
"We always pay for your screw-ups, Naruto." Ino said.
"Yeah, it's such a drag." Shikamaru sighed. To be honest, he's alright. He would have said that to anyone...
Ino Yamanaka. A blonde with a quite a unique hairstyle and a worrying obsession for Sasuk. She fights with people , mostly Sakura, on a daily basis and is for some reason quite popular.
Shikamaru Nara. One of my good friends, he is very laidback and relaxed most of the time...okay, all of the time. And even though he is very lazy he is super intelligent and gets the job done. Eventually...
"Like I care." Naruto tells them and steps up.
Naruto Uzumaki. He is my brother from another mother, my closest friend since we met and is best known for being a hyper-active goofball. He's going to be Hokage one day, I call it now!
I see the look of mischief on Naruto's face and sigh knowing what's about to happen.
"Transform!"
I burst out laughing, even though I knew what was going to happen. It's just, Iruka-sensei's reaction was absolutely priceless!
Naruto had transformed into a naked women, covered with the smoke, instead of Iruka making him and the rest of the class quite shocked.
In the end, Iruka was the only one with a nose bleed while the others in the class were laughing their socks off.
Naruto turned back into the short laughing boy he is, holding onto his stomach.
"Ha, ha! That's my sexy jutsu! It's super effective!" he announced, still laughing.
"ENOUGH OF THE DAMN TRICKS!"
- - - - - - - - - - -
"You're not going anywhere till all of this is cleared up!" Iruka says down to us from the part of the Hokage's face he was sitting on. Poor Hokage, having his butt sitting on him. What if he let's one rip?
"Yeah, it's not like anyone's at home waiting for me!" Naruto retaliated.
We both had our eyes down, rubbing the paint off. It was coming off quite easily, but it's just there was a lot of it...
"Hey, guys."
"What is it now Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asks pouting slightly, giving him the cold shoulder.
"How about, after you've both cleared this up, I take you guys out to ramen." he offered with a small smile and our faces lit up.
"Really?!" I ask.
"You mean it?!" Naruto says.
Iruka nods with a smile on his face. Me and Naruto look at each other with a determined look on his face and we begin furiously scrubbing the paint off.
"Let's do this!" I yell.
"Yeah, we'll be finished in no time! Believe it!" Naruto says.
I hop onto a random section of the mountain and Naruto does the same, the two of us cleaning up as fast as we can.
- - - - - - - - - - -
I only had time for a small bowl of ramen before having to leave.
"Do you really have to go Lian?" Naruto asks with a pout filled with ramen.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I'll see you tomorrow." I said, "Bye Naruto, bye Iruka-sensei!"
Thankfully for Naruto, Iruka-sensei is treating and will probably lose most of his money...rest in pieces...
I rush back to my house, wondering if Kakashi is still home, and notice the door was locked. Guess not. I take the spare key from under the mat, seeing as I forgot mine, and unlock the door. I hide the key once more before walking into the apartment and listning for any signs of dogs or Kakashi.
Heading into the kitchen, I discover a note! A yellow sticky note! With writing on it and everything!
What did the note read? Well, let's find out!
'I'm out on a mission, sorry for the short notice. Microwave dinner - don't blow it up! We can't afford another one this month. If there's any problems then call Guy. Should be home by tomorrow - Kakashi'
He wants me to call Uncle Guy if I have a problem?
Is he insane?!
He probably said that because he has to be a responsible adult. Air quote, responsible adult.
This usually happens, Kakashi gets sudden calls where he must attend a sudden mission and arrives home the next day or week. When I was a lot younger, Uncle Guy always looked after me and we had...slumber parties...
I shiver remembering the pink tutu.
I take the microwave dinner off the counter and grab a chair to stand on to help me reach it as it's on top of the fridge.
Troubles of being short...
After setting the timer, running round the apartment and dodging 'enemies' I manage to make it back to stop the microwave in time with one second to spare!
I then proceed to gracefully fall and break the chair.
"...ow."
