"I... see," said the Third Hokage, looking around. "And you are?"
"Professor Birch!" said the researcher. "This is an unparalleled opportunity for me to observe pokemon in an entirely new environment!"
"Ah," said the Third Hokage.
"This is interesting," said Kiba, looking over the assembled critters. "No dogs, eh?"
"Arf arf rowr," said Akamaru.
"Oh yes, there are dog-style pokemon," said Professor Birch, brightening visibly. "If Naruto will lend his aid, I'd be more than happy to get ahold of one for you."
"Uhm," said Kiba, looking uncertain.
"Rowr, ruff, rowr," said Akamaru.
"Yeah, I suppose," answered Kiba. "That might be useful."
Several of the assembled jonin turned their attention from Ino's Victreebel to Naruto.
"Eh heh," said Naruto, suddenly feeling nervous for some reason.
"Akamaru," said Kiba, two days later, "get ready. Growlithe, covering fire!"
Shino looked completely calm. "Nincada. Harden."
"I remember when this was a quiet ninja village," said Statler as he moved one of his checkers.
"One thing after another," said Waldorf as he made his own move.
"Yeah," said Statler, holding one hand over a piece.
"Nuh uh," said Statler's Swinub.
Statler moved his hand slightly.
"Uh huh," said the Swinub.
"Hey now," said Waldorf. "That's cheating."
"Saur," said Waldorf's Bulbasaur.
"Oh, you're right, it WAS a bad move," said Waldorf.
"So, let's see, that Naruto kid is hiding," said Statler, changing the subject.
"Yup," said Waldorf with a grin. It was always more fun to see someone else in trouble than to be in trouble yourself. "Not that WE would see where the boy would be hiding."
"Didn't expect HER to offer to hide him," said Statler. "Could be interesting if she hid him in her room."
"I'd expect we'd have heard her father exploding from here," said Waldorf. "Bet its difficult to keep secrets over there."
"Yeah, imagine trying to plan a surprise party for someone with the Byakugan," chortled Statler. "Trying to sneak home bad grades on a report card."
"Come home late at night from a date," chuckled Waldorf.
"Yeah," said Statler, losing the mirth. "I remember what that was like."
"Oh shush, that was too many years ago you old coot, you don't remember any of that," said Waldorf.
"Lemmee have my active imagination about it at least," grumped Statler.
"Okay," said Waldorf. With a flourish, he pulled something out of a sleeve. "Heh. Look at what I got."
"A crystal ball?" asked Statler, perking up. "You mean?"
"Telescope jutsu!" said Waldorf with a leer.
"Well, now, that isn't so bad, as long as nobody's got the counter running," admitted Statler.
Orochimaru's toss shattered the little crystal ball into countless tiny fragments. "...useless technique..."
"Those are expensive," complained Kabuto, not sounding sincere.
"Every time I try to spy on the village using that method, I get Kunoichi Junction," said Orochimaru, making a face. "I can't STAND that!"
"'Young college student finds his boarding house has been bought out and he's now living with a large number of kunoichi students from the School Hidden In The Shadows' - yes," agreed Kabuto. "It's tasteless."
"Extremely so," agreed Orochimaru.
"Contrived situations," agreed Kabuto.
"Something for entirely plebian tastes," added Orochimaru.
"Gratuitous sex, violence, and low brow comedy," continued Kabuto.
"Nobody with any sense would watch so much as a minute of it," agreed Orochimaru. "Oh, and those costumes. Horrible sense of design."
"And so in today's episode," said Naruto, "Keitaro was trying not to get caught because of what happened last week."
"That was when he fell into the bath through the hole that the Snake Princess left in the floor?" asked Hinata.
"Right!" Naruto nodded. "So anyway, he fell through and ended up in the bath area. He tried to find the secret passage to escape before Naru entered - and ended up sharing a hidden closet with Kitsune and Mutsumi as they tried not to make any noise."
"Why were Kitsune and Mutsumi hiding?" asked Hinata. "I missed that."
"Oh, it was because of that love potion Naru got hit with last week, they still think she's gonna do something pervy with them," explained Naruto.
"Ah," said Hinata.
"Vul vul!" said Naruto's Vulpix enthusiastically.
"Eevee," said Hinata's Eevee, rolling her eyes.
