Naruto grinned to himself as he stared at the paper in his hands. He couldn't believe it. Well actually he could, after all he, was awesome and he had intended to demand Kakashi let them take the Chunin Exam but the man had beaten him to it.

“The final decision is up to you. If you choose to participate in this exam, sign that paper by tomorrow and go to room 302 before ten o'clock.” Kakashi allowed his words to sink into the minds of his three students. “You have the day off to think about it,” with that, he turned to walk away.

The blonde turned, facing his two teammates but his words caught in his throat. Sasuke was his usual cold, aloof self, although his aura of smugness was shining bright enough to blind somebody halfway across the village. Sakura, on the other hand, was staring past the paper in her hand, worry written across her face.

“What's wrong Sakura?”

The pink haired girl looked up at him and forced a smile. “Nothing’s wrong.”

Naruto was pretty sure she was lying but he wasn't sure if he could push the subject without being hit. Fortunately, Kakashi saved him from the potentially dangerous situation, “Naruto, I almost forgot to tell you. The Hokage would like to speak to you about his grandson. So if you follow me, I will show you to his office.”

The orange clad genin tried to tramp down the fear that he was upset about yesterday. After all, the old man had given him the book and almost encouraged him. It was more likely that this had something to do with how late Konohamaru had arrived home last night, or at least he hoped so. Reluctantly following his sensei, he wondered how he was going to explain why his grandson had arrived at home so late.

“Sensei,” Sakura shouted, running to catch up to the two of them. She winced under their twin gazes but straightened to attention. “If Naruto is going to be reprimanded for the incident with the Sand genin yesterday, I have to insist that I am too. The mistake was as much mine as”

“Sakura,” Kakashi interrupted her, holding a hand up to forestall any further confession. “As pleased as I am to see you sticking by your teammate, I have to say that I have no idea what you're talking about.” Her cheeks reddened and Naruto thought that the color complemented her hair quite nicely as Kakashi continued. “As far as I know, nobody is in trouble, but if that is the case I will summon you.”

With that, the man turned and walked away, Naruto trailing behind, smiling to himself. The few times he had a partner in his crimes they had always hung him out to dry when he got caught and they didn’t. It was a small thing, but Sakura's insistence gave him a warm feeling. After a few minutes of silence though, a question occurred to him, “Hey sensei, aren't you going to ask me about the incident?”

The Jonin pulled his single eye away from his orange book and glanced at his student, “If I ask you then you would have to tell me. Most likely, that would mean I would have to fill out a report and that means the incident would have to be looked into. If that happens you might be suspended from duty until the investigation is over and that would mean no exam.” Putting a finger underneath his chin, he assumed an exaggerated thinking pose. “It seems like a lot of work, especially since Sunagakure hasn't registered a complaint.”

Naruto wasn't sure if his sensei was looking out for him or was just being lazy. He guessed it didn't matter, it wasn't like he wanted to get in trouble. Entering the tower, they bypassed the mission hall, which was now empty, and continued up a flight of stairs. Stopping at a random door, Kakashi opened it and gestured for him to go in. “He'll be with you in a minute. See you tomorrow.”

Naruto took in the small room. It had two couches and a nice view of the village. Hopping onto the couch, he waited for the axe to fall. A few minutes later, the door opened and the Hokage entered. “Hello Naruto, I see that you and Konohamaru had some fun last night,” he said smiling.

The blonde blushed. Sure, the old man knew what was going on, but to reference it so bluntly was embarrassing. “Well,” the rest of the words remained stuck in his throat.

The old man chuckled, “Never mind. I actually just wanted to give you something.” He pulled out a paper that had what looked like a complex seal on it from underneath his robes and started to fold it. “This is called a homing paper bird. Not many people use them because they're so limited in range and can be easily intercepted. However, it will work for this purpose. You channel chakra into it and it will home in on a location,” he held the bird out to Naruto, who took the origami bird reluctantly.

He examined the ornately folded paper bird which looked vaguely like a sparrow. He thought for a second and then risked sounding stupid, “Why are you giving this to me?”

The Hokage actually looked away from him as he answered. “Well, if Konohamaru ever spends the night at your place unexpectedly, you could just send that and I will know he is safe.” The old man stood abruptly, “Well, that's all I wanted to say.”

More responsibility Naruto thought to himself. Despite how embarrassing the situation was he smiled,, appreciating the vote of confidence. “I'm going to help him study,” he blurted out, not realizing what he was saying.

“Oh,” the old man smiled slyly and Naruto got the impression that he had expected this. “That's not going to be easy.”

“I know. I don't want to but,” Naruto trailed off.

“Naruto, one of the hardest things about growing up is learning that sometimes we have to do something we don't want to.” Their eyes met and Naruto thought at that moment, the old man seemed to be weighed down by a lifetime of such decisions.

Standing, he crossed his arms confidently. “I am the future Hokage and I don't go back on my word, believe it.”

Several hours later, Naruto was starting to regret his boast. Even with the notes from Sakura, he still had no idea how he would be able to convince Konohamaru to study. He had been a horrible student who only studied the things that had really interested him. Throwing another kunai at his makeshift target, he didn't even smile to himself when it hit dead center.

He started to collect his weapons. The Academy would be letting out soon. Maybe he should try to pick up his little friend today. Normally, the kid hunted him down through some Naruto sense only he seemed to possess, but he didn't do it every day. Tugging on one kunai that was embedded particularly deep, it gave abruptly, causing him to stumble backwards and fall on his butt.

Staring upwards into the cloudless sky, he had a thought. Maybe he was over thinking this. Iruka had always said that he thought best on his feet, so maybe he should just do it. Grinning for the first time in hours, he sprinted towards the Academy.

Unfortunately, by the time he got there, the Academy had already let out for the day. There were only a few students milling in the courtyard and a couple hanging out by the swing. He scanned for Konohamaru but didn't find the boy. “Hey, do you know where Konohamaru is?” He asked the closest boy who looked to be near his friend’s age.

The boy, who was wearing a tie, looked startled for a minute before answering. “He went home.”

Naruto shouted his thanks as he raced down the street, trying to figure out which one Konohamaru would take home. Crossing into the first intersection, he spotted him. He was about to call out, but the prankster in him who had not come out to play in a long time, took over.

Approaching the boy quickly, but quietly, he grabbed the smaller boy’s long scarf at the end. Unaware, Konohamaru continued walking for several more steps until his scarf became taught and jerked him backwards. He turned as if he was about to shout at him, but when he saw who it was his expression changed. “Boss!”

“Hey, where are your friends?” It was a little unusual to see him without Udon and Moegi.

The boy sighed, “They went home to study. There's a big test at the end of the week and they're nervous.” It was obvious that Konohamaru thought they were overreacting.

“Shouldn't you be doing that too?” Naruto couldn't believe his luck, although he wasn't sure if it was good or bad.

“It's just on Chi-mon. It's not like we're going to use that,” the Third's grandson dismissed the subject with a shrug.

Chi-mon was a broad subject that covered the study of plants, animals, geography and how they could all be used to a ninja's advantage. Naruto had actually enjoyed studying it at first. “I've used it.”

His young friend eyed him warily and said suspiciously, “When?”

The blonde felt like he was breaking out into a sweat as he honestly couldn't remember at first. Then, he remembered picking herbs with Haku. “Well, one time I had to gather some stuff to help a hurt friend,” this was fairly close to the truth, “and that plant I have in the kitchen its Aloe. I use it when I burn myself in the kitchen.”

“Well yeah, I know all that stuff.” Despite his words, Konohamaru didn't sound confident.

Sensing victory, the genin went in for the kill, “if you're so smart what's the name of that,” He pointed to a tree.

“Arborvitae,” the boy said with a grin. “See.”

In hindsight, Naruto realized that pointing to the most common tree in all of Fire country was probably not the best idea, but he recovered quickly. “I meant the plant under the tree.”

His friend looked for a second and then looked away, “Plants are boring.” Konohamaru said, putting his hands behind his head.

“Yeah, but you still have to know it.” Naruto blinked, realizing how much he just sounded like Iruka, it was kind of scary.

“Come on Naruto, this is boring. Let's play or go back to your place.”

His friend's wine gave him an idea. “If you study for an hour I will do something you want to do.” Bribery, it always worked on him.

A thoughtful look crossed the younger boys face and he gestured for Naruto to come closer. “Can I see that book before making my request?”

The blonde felt his cheeks redden. He had finished that book and while there were some things he wouldn't mind trying, there were also things he didn't want to. “Can't we just play tag?”

“That's boring with only two people,” Konohamaru replied with a grin.

“Fine,” Naruto answered, wondering why he even tried to avoid it.

The two walked to the Jinchuriki's apartment. The older of the two would occasionally point out a plant and recite what he remembered about it, but the younger one didn't seem all that interested. When they did arrive at his home, Naruto brought out Sakura’s notes and had Konohamaru read the relevant portion. Although his teammate’s notes were insanely detailed, they only took about twenty minutes to read through. After that, Naruto took it back and asked him questions.

The blonde wasn't sure how much time passed, but eventually he ran out of questions. Not to mention seeing the words "Sakura Uchiha" and "Sasuke & Sakura 4 ever" scrolled in the margins was really starting to annoy him. Closing the notebook with a snap, he grinned, “We're done..”

“Finally,” Konohamaru exclaimed. “That was worse than one of Iruka’s lectures. Now where is the book?”

Naruto frowned. He didn't think he was that bad. Standing, he lifted up one of the corners of his mattress and retrieved the book. After last time, he thought he should hide it from his friend, just in case but now he was handing it over to him.

Konohamaru flipped to the back of the book were the illustrations were and thumbed through several pages before stopping and holding it up, grinning. The page actually had two pictures on it which were of the same thing but the positions were flipped. Either way though, somebody had their mouth on the others, “You do know that is where pee comes out, right?”

“It says, wash first.”

Naruto made a mental note not to be so vague when he made promises to his friend anymore. Getting up to get a washcloth, Konohamaru added, “You do me, then I'll do you.”

At least the Thirds grandson had a sense of fair play, he thought ruefully. Washing himself, he pondered using soap before remembering a painful experience. Bringing the wet cloth with him into the bedroom, he found his friend already on the bed giggling, his legs spread, penis hard. “You really like doing this stuff?” Naruto questioned.

“It feels good,” Konohamaru answered, putting his hands behind his head.

“Right,” Naruto said, starting to clean his friend's erection, starting at the head and working down. Konohamaru giggled at the touch of the cloth, but that didn't last long as the older of the two quickly moved from shaft to sack and all parts around.

Once Naruto was satisfied that it was as clean as it was going to get, he still found himself hesitating. There was a part of him that just thought it was disgusting, but he had promised and he wouldn't go back on his word no matter who he gave it to. Pulling his lips over his teeth, he engulfed the entire member, deciding that it was like removing a band-aid, it was just best to get it over with.

Konohamaru was small enough that his head was barely touching the soft part of Naruto's palette. The blonde moved his tongue up and down the shaft, examining every inch. He lingered on every spot that caused his friend to tent or moan, wanting this to be a good experience for his friend. The boy seemed to like everything he tried, especially when he played with the tip, but when he touched the sore spot from yesterday Konohamaru yelped and bucked.

Naruto pulled free, “Sorry.”

“It's okay. Just don't stop,” Konohamaru panted.

“All right,” the taller of the two said as an idea occurred to him. He stuck his tongue out and licked the yet untouched sack. His friend seemed to like it, and he did it several more times before going back to the shaft. When the shaft was back in his mouth, it started to twitch. Konohamaru's body tried to ejaculate sperm it had not yet produced. Naruto held it in his mouth until what felt like a finger shrank back into being more like a wet noodle.

Pulling free, he looked up at Konohamaru, whose face was flushed. “What do you think?” He was kind of curious of how he had done.

It took his friend a minute to recover an answer, “Great. I'll do you now.”

Dropping his pants and boxers, Naruto changed positions with his friend. He had been hard since before he had started on Konohamaru and had secretly admitted to looking forward to his turn.

Unfortunately, his little friend didn't start right away. After a minute or so of waiting Naruto propped himself up on his elbows and glanced at his friend between his legs. Konohamaru was lying partly on the bed, just sort of staring at his thing, an unreadable expression on his face. A sense of guilt washed over the genin. “Let's not do this,” Naruto said, starting to roll to his side.

Konohamaru stopped him by putting a hand on his thigh. “No, I want to. I was just thinking about something.” To prove his point, the boy grasped his member and brought it to his mouth and engulfed his head.

Naruto groaned at the new sensation. It was hard to describe and before he could get a grasp on it was gone. “What's wrong?”

The brunette still held his member in his hand when he answered. “It smells.”

“I can wash it again.”

“That's all right,” the smaller boy interrupted, “it's kind of nice..” He squeezed his member and laughed. “It's winking at me.”

Naruto smiled because his friend seemed to be more at ease as he went back down on him. The little mouth moved up and down, never taking more than half of his length in. The warmth and the tongue that moved along with it made him feel incredible. He came with no warning into his friend’s mouth.

Konohamaru pulled away, coughing. Naruto didn't have time to enjoy the orgasm. He was at his nude friend’s side, apologizing and rubbing his back. Grabbing the discarded washcloth, he held it out to him, “Spit it into this.” He did so and Naruto did his best to comfort him.

After a few minutes, the smaller boy looked up, his eyes watery, “I don't think I want to do that again.”

“You don't have to do anything if you don't want too,” Naruto replied.

The boy shook his head, “Maybe if you can give me a little warning, it wouldn't be so bad.”

“I'm really sorry.”

“It's okay.”

Naruto held his friend, rubbing his back for several minutes. Neither of them tried to pull away. Eventually, Konohamaru seemed to lean into his embrace and closed his eyes, resting his head against his chest and after a few minutes the taller wondered if his friend had fallen asleep. Shaking his nude friend slightly, he stirred.

“Hey, you woke me,” Konohamaru muttered.

“Sorry about that,” Naruto replied sheepishly. “You want to get some ramen? We can go out for it.”

His friend smiled and stood to put on a shirt, “Sure, but Naruto, I have a question. If I study for another hour right now, can we do something else?”

The blonde glared at his friend and said emphatically, “Not today.”

“Oh come on, you've made learning fun,” Konohamaru replied with a grin.

Author's note: I will freely admit that I actually have no idea what type of trees surround Konoha. I'm not actually sure if they're supposed to represent a real tree but Arborvitae are found in Japan and they sort of look like it. Whether or not Aloe actually works on burns I really can't say. Some studies say no some say yes. I've tried it but, not enough times to draw a conclusion.
