Insolent whelp! Face my Mantis Technique! :)

Naruto. MEDIC!"
Heh.
Honestly, it hadn't occurred to me before that the
whole introduction might actually have been a test of
the genin trio's ability to keep information quiet.
Kudos.
Of course, if that was the case, the canon Team 7 flunked pretty badly. :)
Y'know, I never understood that. I know the law
applies to all the adults, but does it actually
prevent Naruto from telling his secret to those he
thinks he can trust?
Well, Naruto isn't really supposed to know, either, so I doubt the law
takes it into account one way or another.
I suspect that, at the very least, the Hokage would like to have a long
talk with Naruto before he starts telling people about it.
The changes weren't obvious, but there was
something slightly
different in Naruto's face. Particularly given the
baggy clothing his
student wore, it took Kakashi a moment to figure it
out, but he hadn't
been the student of the Hidden Leaf's third-biggest
pervert, the student
of the village's second-biggest pervert, for
nothing.
That sentence is a little clunky. It's readable, and
parses well enough, but it could use a bit of cleaning
up.
Yes, it could.
And also, I'm glad that the Fourth is given some
partial characterization from Kakashi's mind. It's a
minor detail, but it deepens the setting.
I like deepening the setting. :)
It seems a reasonable extrapolation, given his teacher and his student.
"Huh." Well,
that explained more than a few oddities from twelve
years ago.
Thus, how the much-evidenced-circumstantailly
relationship between Naruto and Yondaime was hidden
from the record - officially, Yondy had a daughter.
^_^
Indeed. :)
"You're a girl." Haruno Sakura, until a
moment ago the sole
female member of the newly birthed Team Seven,
twitched.
Inner Sakura: "So, not only is the brat a stalker, but
she's one of those creepy lesbian stalkers!"
Kaorin: "Don't knock it 'til you've tried it."
Cameo no Jutsu!
Heh.
Uchiha Sasuke shook his head slowly as he
stood. "This is too
rich, dead last. I wasn't planning on telling you
all this, but I
suppose I should. It'll end some annoyances, at
least." He gave Sakura
a hostile glare before pointing at Kakashi. "You,"
she stated. "Turn
around, old man."
OHGOD bad mental image! Blast you, Fanfiction.net!
Curse you and your obsessive gay!Sasuke slash writers!
Kakashi complied, realizing what was about
to happen.
-AND your gay!Kakashi slash-writers, too! >_<
...heh.
A moment
later both Naruto and Sakura gasped.
"Sasuke-kun..." Sakura breathed.
"You," Naruto muttered, disbelieving
Was that sentence unfinished, or is the period
missing?
Missing period.
As an aside, I remember a discussion on the genetic
inheritance of Bloodline Limits once sprung up on a
web-forum. They figured that since only a few of the
Uchiha clan were able to manifest the Sharingan, and
we'd only seen male Sharingan users, the necessary
traits would mostly likely be on the Y chromosome -
i.e. a patrilineal inheritance.
Well, we've only seen male Sharingan users, but we've only seen two
female Uchiha that I'm aware of, neither of which in a situation where
they'd use the Sharingan. For what it's worth, it certainly seems that
Sasuke and Itachi inherited their eyes from their mother, so I'd be
inclined to say that both genders can use the Sharingan. (Also, it
apparently evvolved from the Byakugan, which we know is gender-neutral.)
However, a matrilineal inheritance makes for much more
comedic effect, at the expense of Sasuke and/or
Itachi. ^_^
I seem to remember reading at least one fairly amusing fic involving a
matrilineal Sharingan inheritance, a drunken Sasuke, Naruto, and Oiroke
no Jutsu. :)
Kakashi's eye turned to Sakura. "Your turn,
I suppose," he
stated.
Sakura paled. "You know?" she asked,
horrified.
Kakashi blinked. He'd been joking. "You're
a boy?"
"Not at the moment," Sakura muttered,
Paging Saotome. Saotome to the poolside courtesy
phone, please.
Heh.
"So,
how about a date, Sayuri-chan?" Sakura asked. The
newly revealed girl
backed away, eyes widening in dawning horror as she
clearly realized
that her revelation was not going to have the
desired effect.
Ayup. Massive backfire.
Indeed. :)
Shikamaru blinked. "You're in love with
Haruno!"
"Oh, thank you for just shouting it out!"
Ino snarled at him.
I can hardly picture Shikamaru shouting that. Probably
grunting in a somewhat surprised manner.
Well, he didn't really _shout_ it, but Ino is being Ino. :)
Ino, on the other hand, would probably react like that
even if he whispered it. Mostly because I see her as
slightly warped in the head.
Ayup!
"You didn't see me telling everyone that you
obviously have the hots for
Sasuke-kun yourself!"
o_o
Really didn't see that one coming.
It's stretching, I admit, but it seems more plausible than most of the
other options.
The _real_ reason he underperformed in the academy wasn't laziness - he
was competing with Naruto for worst student so that he could get in
Sasuke's team. :)
Meanwhile, the thoughts of Hinata have me torn. On one
hand, there's my "but she's the cute little shy mouse!
And she's nuts over Naruto!" side; on the other,
there's the near-certainly that having eyes capable of
seeing through solid objects automatically confers no
small measure of voyeurism.
Heh
...Dear God, I just realized something. Since Byakugan
basically makes clothing futile outside of protection
from the elements, either one of two things must
happen:
A) A strictly-enforced "No Byakugan on the premises,
outside of the training hall" rule, or
B) Hyuuga compound = Nudist colony. "In the sun"
indeed.
*snrk* Very true. :)

Well, that's a wrap. Hopefully it was at least
chuckle-worthy.
Oh yes. Yes it was.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the comments!
