My Dobe

Ok, so the first plan didn't quite work out so well – a disgruntled member of the dog clan can contest to that – however that was not going to stop the almighty Uzumaki Naruto, the future Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

'Just you wait Sasuke,' Naruto thought to himself, the 'Flames of Youth' burning brightly in his eyes – much to the delight of other youth enthusiasts, 'I will avenge my... my...' the boy stumbled – his what exactly?

Sasuke looked somewhat worriedly at his blond dobe as he disturbingly took on Gai and Lee's fierce pose, looking as if he would at any given moment strike a 'Good Guy Pose' and blind them all. However, as the blond stumbled in his thoughts and wrinkled his nose and brow in confusion – in what he would never admit out loud – rather cutely, he had to look away, a tint of red gracing his normally pale cheeks.

"MY SLEEP!" the blond team-mate concluded out loud, causing all in the vicinity to jump slightly at the outburst and look warily at the boy.

"Mai mai, Naruto-kun," Kakashi began in a fake rural accent (1), "Isn't Sasuke-kun letting you sleep much?"

Naruto spluttered as Sakura looked confused trying to work out what her sensei was trying to imply and Sasuke had the decency to blush slightly before turning away and acting like he hadn't heard a thing. Before Naruto could actually do anything to their beloved sensei, Kakashi stated the next mission was at the bath house before 'poofing' (2) away to meet up with his team later.

"Bloody pervert," Naruto grumbled to himself. Ah well, it was time to start 'Plan B' and he had just came up with the perfect plan to get back at Sasuke.

'For my sleep!'


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was the most horrible mission so far. It sucked worst when they had to clean all the garbage dumped in the river. Sakura absolutely hated water. It messed up her hair and made it fizz. Not to mention the wrinkles you get after being in the water too long.

However, this was only the icing on top of the cake. The mission was that they had to clean – that's right clean – the bath house. At first she was excited – for this meant that she could show off her new bikini and show Sasuke-kun just how womanly she was becoming and how awesome she would be to restore his clan with – but there was one tiny problem that interfered with her plan.

She was the only girl on the team.

So now Sakura had to clean all the women's bath house.

By herself.

Definitely the worst mission so far...

This was most definitely the best mission so far – this week that is. Especially after all that running and crawling in the dirt and hiding in shrubs and bushes with the earlier mission that day, Naruto most definitely liked being clean – he thought it might have something with Kyuubi being a fox. He loved being in the water, he just felt so – weightless. They only had to clean the male bath house, and with three – he had threatened to dump Kakashi's beloved orange book into the bath if he didn't help out – it wasn't too much a hassle. On top of that, he got a free bath!

Naruto smirked as he quickly finished up with cleaning the last set of taps and stood up. Now that majority of his set of chores were complete, it was now time to put the final touches of Plan B into action. And what Naruto meant by the final touches, he meant the drool-worthy look on the prissy Uchiha's face when the next Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, beat him. Ah he could just imagine the black-mail material he would gain from that look.

Naruto quickly shook himself out of his little daydream and silently made his way to the sliding doors that led to the changing area, where Sasuke should be stacking all the supplies. The sound of wooden crates being stacked together reaffirmed that Sasuke was indeed in place, stacking the supplies – somewhat grumpily too if the rather loud bangs were anything to go by. Grinning madly Naruto silently slid the sliding door open and quickly completed the hand signals that were needed to pull the prank off, stepping into the room.

Only to slip on some soap that hadn't yet been packed in with the rest of the supplies.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iruka was worried. Why was he worried? Iruka had heard some complaints of loud noises and evil laughter from Naruto's apartment that morning, as he headed off to work. When he decided to take a detour he found himself groped by his charge's perverted sensei, tripped over by some cat that was acting all weird (3) when trying to escape from said sensei, and nearly raped by aforementioned sensei after he helped the poor cat with its problem – a piece of sticky-tape on top its head (5). The same cat he found purring atop a disgruntled – and throughly freaked out – Kiba's head where Akumaru normally sits. Said dog-nin was alternatively sulking, growling up at the oblivious - and quite happy with itself - cat and looking apologetically at his master.

This was what he was worried about? No this was just an everyday occurrence of a ninja village, especially since agreeing to go out with the perverted sensei (6). Why was he going out with a pervert? He had no idea – if ever asked he would simply ask them to tell him if they ever figured it out. It was an all-round mystery.

So what was he worried about? Iruka had been getting strange reports that his charge had that look on his face again today. The last time his charge had that look, he ended up nearly blowing up the Hokage Tower.

While the Hokage was in an important meeting.

With other 'Kages. (7)

Did he need to mention they were holding the meeting in said building?

He didn't know how his charge ended up getting away with it – most likely something to do with the Anbu being rather cautious around the blonde boy. They had been since the time the blond child spiked their drinks to turn their hair bright florescent pink, after he somehow - they still hadn't figured out how - managed to sneak into their private Annual Anbu Party. Lets just say Konoha's anbu were out of order for the couple of weeks all the medic-nins worked hard into finding a cure.

After all, it wouldn't do if the enemy could spot the Anbu a mile away, and the Anbu's self-esteem dropped dramatically as they found their enemies died from busting a gut laughing – or aggravating their wounds – then the Anbu actually killing them.

So he may have reason to be worried if any of the reports were right, therefore he was quickly making his way to the public bath house where he knew Team 7 had a mission at – working part-time at the mission desk gave you those type of privileges. As he neared the bath house he heard a scream and a loud crash. Speeding up, he made it to the bath house in record time, nearly breaking the front door as he made his way into the changing rooms where he was sure the scream came from.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Naruto performed the last of the signs of his jutsu, he took larger than normal step – preparing to leap upon his victim. Only as the clouds appeared around his now very naked – very female – body, he didn't see the bar of soap laying innocently in the small puddle of water, right where he was about to place his foot.

Naruto screamed – he was a girl at the time, so it was alright – as he fell forward into the surprised body of his victim – who had turned around at the scream. Strong arms circled Naruto's – very naked, mind you – body as they both tumbled to the floor, landing in a very questionable position.

It was this awkward sight that stopped Iruka at a stand still in the doorway of the bath house.

"KAKASHI~!!!"

TBC

Ok, there's quite a few of these this chapter... However I hate interrupting the flow of a story with Author Announcements, though I like to explain my way of thinking, so to prevent confusion with readers. This is why I have them at the end here.

Don't like them, then just deal with them.

(1) What I meant here is when they use a Texan (I think...) accent for the dubbing of an Osakan accent. Normally it is a very rural (country) accent. I can imagine (and I think he does in certain times in the anime) Kakashi using this accent. Fake? Well he doesn't really use it normally does he?!!

(2) I wanted to put another word there, but it's on the tip of my tongue and I can't remember quite the word I originally was going to use - hence the awful sound effects instead.

(3) Naurto's prank on Tora that morning. (see chapter 2)

(4) The same as (3). When you put sticky-tape on top a cat's head, it will crouch down and back up thinking there's something above it's head. It has worked with me on my cats and no this does NOT hurt them in any way. I do NOT condone animal cruelty. Just a fun and harmless prank.

(5) Should let you know that this is NOT Jairya, but Kakashi. Just in case some people get confused.

(6) Not sure on the actual titles of them all but Hokage is the title for the Kage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves, just as all the others have something in front of Kage. Can't remember them at the moment, but if anyone else can or knows of the actual title of the whole group, please tell me and I will fix it up.

NO animals (cats) were harmed in writing this fic!
