Except that something had slammed down out of the heavens as he'd finished the ritual and come down on a VERY startled demon-fox. The odd bulge-eyed appearance of a flattened demon-fox had been strangely comical before the whole thing vanished.
He hadn't expected a voice to apologize for the inconvenience.
Nor was the seal what he had expected. Surrounding the belly of the child Naruto was a set of sigils. Instead there were TWO markings. One was a teeny-tiny one which was smaller than he'd expected and had the marking he'd thought would appear signalling the caged demon-fox. The other was an elaborate tangle that somehow reminded the Fourth of a "smiley face" and seemed to wink at him briefly.
"NARUTO!" yelled Iruka-sensei, chasing the small boy.
"It's not my fault!" said Naruto. "I did what you asked!"
"What'd he do THIS time?" asked one of the village elders, looking as if he was having a pain in his abdomen.
"He cleaned the school of all the graffiti," said another elder as he walked up. "Unfortunately, somehow during that time that Uchiha boy had hundreds of girl's panties fall out of his bookbag."
"Sasuke Uchiha? Boy doesn't seem the type," said the first elder.
"No, not to mention hundreds of panties shouldn't have FIT into the boy's schoolbag," said the second elder, seating himself by the first.
"NA-RU-TO! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!" yelled Sasuke as he ran by.
"SASUKE YOU PERVERT!" yelled a number of women as they chased the little boy.
"I remember when this was a QUIET ninja village," lamented the first elder.
"I'll become Hokage one day!" said little Naruto, standing atop the swing set. "Then they'll all have to acknowledge me!"
"Yes," said a bushy-browed kid below him. "And someday I'll be a splendid ninja!"
"..." mumbled Hinata Hyuga as she mostly hid and watched Naruto from the sidelines.
"Someday I'll be Sasuke's wife!" declared Sakura.
"Someday I'll... HEY!" said Yamanaka Ino before leaping on Sakura and commencing cheek-pulling and other traditional forms of protest.
"Someday I'll be a dark and brooding vengeance-haunted character that will kill my brother!" said Sasuke, trying to look cool.
"Someday I'll get a vacation," prayed Iruka-sensei.
