Warning: Little lime, well not even. More like a little sexual thoughts. Again pretty clean. Next chapter will be darker or at least have some darker parts.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I should have come up with something wittier to put here but I finished the chapter so GET OFF MY BACK!

A/N: The bulk of this chapter was written by the very talented Phamtonsnow. It’s been a pleasure working with you Roely and I can’t wait to do a full joint story! It’s mostly just a fun chapter with what happened with Naruto and Genma. The KakaIru part is just after the end of the last chapter. Hope you like it.


Everyone was always saying how Naruto was stupid but his supposed stupidity had many reasons. He acted loud and obnoxious in order to alleviate the fear of the villagers and to hide his true personality. He knew that something was going on with Iruka-sensei and that whoever had beaten him up so badly that he had almost died was someone close to the sensei. Naruto crouched low behind a bush making sure to keep his chakra signature almost non-existent, he grin with mischief as he made his way to the onsen to spy on Kakashi and Iruka. He thought that Kakashi might be good for his sensei even though the man was an ass sometimes. Iruka-sensei needed someone to take care of him when he wasn’t around.

“What are you doing, Dobe?” the mild-mannered voice next to him made him jump five feet into the air.

“Eeeeppp!” Naruto screeched landing back down on the ground like a cat. Sasuke rolled his eyes, suppressing the small smile that threatens to appear on his normally stoic face.

“Don’t sneak up on me!” he screamed getting up and pointing a wagging finger at Sasuke. The dark hair boy shrugged his lean shoulders looking bored, an expression that always infuriated Naruto.
“A true shinobi should always be aware of his surroundings”

Naruto huffed and turned away from Sasuke ignoring him for once. He had better things to do than mess around with emotionally stunted bastard with a stick five miles long stuck up his ass.

Sasuke, who was not use to being ignored by anyone, was surprise at the almost mature reaction to his taunt. He followed several feet behind Naruto, noticing that he was heading to the onsen. Sasuke frown wondering what the dobe was up too, probably some prank.

He lengthened his strides to catch up with Naruto hands in his pockets, trying to look as disinterested as possible but couldn’t help being curious about what his blond teammate was up too. He didn’t understand why Naruto was the only one who seemed to be able to get under his skin. Naruto was also the only one he considered his friend and rival, not that he would ever tell the idiot that. Yet, at times he wonders how much Naruto held back and how sometimes he didn’t seemed like the idiot he acted.

“What are you doing dobe?” he asked as he watched the boy climbed up the wall separating the bath.

“SHHH, I’m hunting shinobi!” he hissed in a low voice up at him. Sasuke sighed. He retracted his belief that the idiot wasn’t an idiot. He opened his mouth to call him an idiot but than a loud shout sounded from behind them.

“NARUTO!”

Genma was running up to them at very high speeds, Naruto jumped off the wall and took off in the opposite directions. Sasuke debated whether to follow him or just go home but other than some more brooding and training he had nothing else to do. So in a surprising action, he ran after them.

Naruto quickly ran to his favorite ramen stand knocking people of stools and getting whacked by a couple of customers not to mention the old man. He took a chance and look back, noticing that the Genma was right on his heels; who would have thought that Genma would get so mad at him for pulling his pants down in front of his date last month. Go figure!

Sasuke narrowed his eyes his breath coming in large pants, he couldn’t believe that the dobe wasn’t out of breath after running at high speeds for so long. He decided to take to the roof tops, where the busy streets of Konoha wouldn’t interfere so that he could catch up to the dobe.

Naruto wasn’t watching he was going and he ended up plowing into Ino who had been carrying a large parcel. He landed on top of her and whatever was in the package crack under his weight.

“YOU IDIOT!” she screamed, her light blue eyes blazing with anger. Naruto quickly scramble off her and ran.

He glanced over his shoulder eyes wide with fear since now he had Ino on his trail as well as Genma. “How do I get myself in these messes?” he muttered to himself. The Kyuubi roared with laughter inside his cage, at least his container was never boring.

He headed towards the academy deciding to hide out in the school, as he pass the playground he notice too late that he was heading straight into Shikamaru and Neji who were concentrating on a game of shogi. Naruto’s arms flay in air as he tried to stop himself from falling on Neji, but it was no use he fell right on him, his lips pressing against the long haired boy’s.

Sasuke landed beside the three boys, he grabbed Naruto and pulled him off Neji violently. His sharingan spinning as he furiously looked form Neji’s flushed face to Naruto’s. Why wasn’t the dobe acting disgusted like he had done when that happened between them? He took several menacing steps towards Neji, a growl starting deep within his chest.

“Troublesome,” Shika muttered as he picked himself up and started to gather the pieces of the game.

Naruto grinned, blushing and jerking his arm free from Sasuke who had a tight hold on it. He gave Neji and Shika and embarrassed look. “I’m sor…” he trailed off as two angry voices were heard from behind them.

“Oh, Shit! Got to go!” he shouted running away. Sasuke gave Neji a heated look before running after him.

Neji was pressing his finger tips to his burning lips and Shika was giving him a thoughtful knowing look.

“What?” Neji turned his white eyes at him.

“Troublesome!” Shika said again not bothering to mention the Hyuuga’s love sick expression. The Hyuuga however, ignored him and ran after Sasuke who was running after Naruto who was being chased by Ino and Genma.

Naruto headed to the Hokage tower wondering why was Sasuke chasing him and why did he look so angry. It wasn’t fair; all he wanted was to spy on Iruka and Kakashi! “TEME!” Naruto screamed.

He ran passed Sakura who had a love sick Rock Lee hanging on her every word, every unkind word. Sakura glowered at Naruto as Sasuke ran past her chasing him and decided to run after them. So Naruto was now being chased by Genma, Ino, Sasuke, Neji Sakura and of course Rock Lee joined the chase as he ran after Sakura.

“AWWWWWW!” Naruto yelled as the sweat poured off of his forehead in globs now, his lungs on fire from running all over town. Suddenly Genma was standing before him and Naruto ran smack into his chest and toppled to the ground, the other pursuers dominoing into one another behind him.

“Naruto. I’m looking for Iruka-sensei.” Neji helped a panting Naruto to his feet. A bristling Sasuke landed near the group and glared as Neji didn’t release his hold on the dobe immediately.

“Is…is that why…you’re chasing me?” a very winded Naruto breathed. The blonde’s face became resolute, “He just got out of the hospital. Can’t you let him relax for a few hours?!” Genma scowled, “My orders come straight from the Hokage. She wants to speak with him.”

“So,” he huffed, “tell the old hag to wait!”

“Naruto!” Genma roared and the chase commenced again. They rest of the genin looked at each other both confused and shocked. Neji henged himself into a decent replica of Naruto, “well, are you all going to just stand there or are you going to help Naruto give Iruka-sensei some privacy?” The other genin nodded and they split off.

‘Man he doesn’t give up!’ Tossing a glance over his shoulder Naruto quickly made the signs for his clone justsu and three other Narutos appeared running alongside him.

“You!” he pointed to the one in the middle. “You go and distract him and you two go run interference for him!” he ordered desperately. Genma took the bait and broke off following the middle clone.

Sasuke caught up with the real Naruto and dragged Naruto with him by grabbing onto his hand and therefore avoided Sakura's greedy hands on him and Neji's greedy hands on Naruto. For some reason that seemed extremely important.

“Hey, hey, what are you doing bastard?” Naruto demanded watching as Ino and Neji took off together. Sakura allowed herself to be drag away by Rock Lee unwillingly as they ran interference for Naruto.

Sasuke quickly jumped on roof tops, pausing now and then to set traps for Genma and possibly Neji, he smirk on that last thought.

“What are you doing bastard?” Naruto asked anxiously feeling Genma chakra nearby. Sasuke grunted, “What do you think idiot? I’m setting traps for Genma!” he grabbed onto Naruto hand as soon as he felt Neji's and Ino's chakra and took off again.

“Hey, hey look there’s the onsen!” Naruto exclaimed pulling free of Sasuke and heading towards the bathhouse. He giggled excitedly; while the others kept Genma busy he’ll go and sneak a peek at Kakashi and Iruka.

“DOBE!” Sasuke screamed coming after him.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ino took over Genma’s mind only to come screaming out of it two seconds later, her light blue eyes full of terror. “Mommy!” she mumbled over and over again hugging herself. Neji sighed and shook her, slapping her a couple of times to get her out of the trance.

“Come on he’s heading right towards Naruto!”

“No he’s not!” Rock Lee and Sakura landed next to them. Sakura nodded, “H'es right its one of his clones,” all three of them followed Genma to make sure that he stayed with the clone deciding to leave Ino who was still in a trance having been in Genma perverted mind.

Genma was confronting the clone, realizing it was only a clone and was about to turn away when the clone made hand signal and puff a semi-naked female version of Naruto appeared.

Everyone was shocked when Genma simply rolled his eyes.

“Sorry kid but you’ll have to do better than that. Not bad though...” The clone changed back into Naruto before an evil grin spread onto the tan face and Naruto disappeared and a tall, broad, shirtless bombshell replaced him. The dreaded sexy-guy jutsu. Genma’s nose gushed blood and he tackled the naked chest that had been flexing its pecks. The clone disappeared with a pop and Genma pouted. Rock Lee was helping a fainted Sakura from the ground, fanning her face. Genma growled and hissed quietly, “I’m going to kill that little brat. How could this get any worse?” A smack upside the head made him regret the question.

“You sleazy jerk! I saw that, you backstabbing two timing piece of…”

“Raidou, honey, I really don’t have time for this. I have to find Iruka. I’ll make it up to you tonight.” Raidou glared at his boyfriend.

“Don’t think for a second that we’re done with this!” Genma’s face twisted in to a lecherous grin, “can you really say you wouldn’t have done the same?” Raidou’s answer was cut off as Genma spotted Naruto down the street. With a quick kiss to his boyfriend he rushed off after his mark.

“Naruto you brat, get back here!” He was starting to think that simply looking for the teacher would be easier than catching Naruto and making him talk. Naruto took off at high speeds and after several minutes Genma cornered him in an alley.

“Come on Naruto. Just tell me where he…You’re not Naruto!” The pale transformation popped to reveal Neji smirking smugly. Letting out a growl he leapt to the rooftops.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sasuke and Naruto were perched on the wall of the onsen watching Kakashi massaging Iruka’s back. Well Naruto was watching while Sasuke was transfixed with the blush that had risen to Naruto’s cheeks. It was fascinating to watch the tan skin turn red watching the intimate scene below when the blonde seemed to be obsessed with Sakura. He had an overwhelming urge to reach over and stroke the scars that adorn his friend’s cheeks. Naruto’s eyes sparkled as he smiled at Sasuke.

“They’d make a great couple, don’t cha think?” Sasuke swallowed the lump in his throat before grunting, “hn.”

“Oh come on Teme. They could be really good for each other. I’m so worried about Iruka-sensei and Kakashi could help look after him.”

“I thought the idea of two guys would make you uncomfortable.” The blonde began to stutter adorably.

“I…well…they…it’s not that I’m…it just would be…uh…well I guess I’m…curiosity and all…” Sasuke smirked and slid a little closer to Naruto.

“Hn, dobe.” His breath hitched as the expressive blue eyes flicked to his. How were they so blue? It seemed to defy the laws of nature. Sasuke leaned towards the blonde’s up turned face, incapable of tearing his gaze from the kissable pink lips. Naruto’s tongue darted out moistening them and stretched his neck towards Sasuke. A foot became inches and they could feel each other’s breath on their cheeks. Inches became singular and Sasuke leaned in to close the distance completely when a chakra surge from behind them made them both jump. A very harassed Genma was standing a few feet away, fist clenched, eyes blazing. Naruto stood to run, lost his balance and leapt from the wall.

With a loud cry he landed in the center of the bath, sending hot water flying in all directions.

XXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXX

Kakashi was trying to hold back his nose bleed as Iruka closed his eyes and tilted his head exposing the long tender neck that was just begging to be licked and sucked. Kakashi crossed his legs underneath the water, hoping that Iruka wouldn’t choose that moment to take a dive in the water. He couldn’t help but let his gaze wondered from Iruka’s long neck, down his collar bone that was glistening with drops of water. Oh how he wanted to licked them off the cinnamon skin. Iruka moaned in pleasure and Kakashi jerked upwards, his hands clasping the base of his shaft to keep himself form cumming. Iruka was making the most sinful sounds that were wreaking havoc on his libido. He was so hard right now. ‘Come on, come on’ Kakashi thought to himself, ‘think about something, think!’ The sudden flash of a long ago nightmarish incident where Gai had for some reason run naked through town made him shuddered with disgust and his hard on go away.

“Are you alright?” Iruka asked his kind eyes full of concern. Kakashi gave him a strained smile underneath the washcloth, nodding his head to let Iruka know he was.

Iruka leaned closer to him, his breath caressing Kakashi cheek and it took a great deal of restrain on the part of the jounin not to jump the beautiful brunette.

“Hmmm, isn’t it about time to go talk to the Hokage?” he said, clearing his throat nervously.

Iruka frowned but leaned away from Kakashi, suddenly hurt. He had to remember Kakashi was probably uncomfortable with having a known homosexual so near him when he was obliviously straight.

Iruka nodded in silence. It was for the best, he had the feeling that falling in love or lust with Kakashi would be hazardous to his health.

“What are you thinking Iruka?” a soft voice suddenly close to his ear whispered.

“Noth-nothing,” Iruka shivered as Kakashi ran his fingers down his arms.

“Iruka, I want you,” that husky sexy voice said making Iruka visibly shuddered. Kakashi fingers wandered across his chest, making circles around his nipples.
“Kaka-shi!” Iruka moaned closing his eyes.

“I just think it’s too soon after Mizuki and I want to give you time,” Kakashi playfully pinched Iruka right nipple his actions belying his words. A hand slid from his bellybutton all the way up to his chin and Iruka threw his head back against Kakashi’s shoulder in delight, the same sultry voice quickly driving him closer to the brink.

“Fuck, you’re so sexy,” thin, uncovered lips attached themselves to his dark ear inciting a throaty moan. “It’s all I can do from bending you over right here and now. Mmmm, you taste so good, Iruka.”

A tongue darted out and ran along his neck.

“Mmmm, Iruka…” Panting now Iruka reached behind him and pulled Kakashi closer to his body whist the skillful lips attacked his neck and shoulders.

“Iruka…Iruka…hello? Earth to Iruka!” A snap in front of his face brought Iruka back to reality.

He lifted his head from the side of the pool, eyes still foggy with lust, the scintillating reverie popped.

“Huh, what?”

“I asked you if you thought it was time to go to the Hokage. You looked like you were about to leave and then you sat back down and moaned like you were reading Icha Icha tactics. You’d better hurry; you’ve only got about ten minutes to get there.” Iruka stood up, glanced down at the water and promptly retook his seat.

“Aren’t you going?” Iruka glanced down at his raging hard on, “uh, yeah, in a minute.”

‘Think Iruka, think! Okay…fish…dead kittens…women, that’ not working. Go deeper…oh, that time Gai ran naked through town……okay, I think I’m good.’ He climbed the steps slowly, raising his hands to wring out his hair absent mindedly.

Kakashi stifled a groan as the sculpted body ascended the steps, hips swaying seductively with every step. Was Iruka trying to torture him? He really hadn’t wanted the chuunin to leave but the sounds Iruka had suddenly started to make were enough to drive him over the edge. What had he been thinking about that made him whimper and moan so prettily? He watched as Iruka wrapped a towel over his hips, covering the delectable, mocha ass.

“Uh, thank you Kakashi. I really needed this.” Kakashi swallowed thickly, nodding.

“I’ll see you later.” Iruka blushed and sauntered to the change room. Kakashi began counting the seconds until he could move to the showers and relieve the tension that had built up painfully in his balls.
