"Yeah," said Naruto.
"Agreed," added Iljrene. "I'll go first. I know something about traps."
"Or we could use this," said Naruto, unfurling a scroll.
"What does that do?" asked Yukikaze.
"I've been experimenting with sealing techniques," said Naruto, throwing the scroll out into the field. "Ten thousand squirrel attack!"
Yukikaze winced as she saw the result. "You've sealed your laundry away in a storage seal?"
"Wrong one," said Naruto, grabbing another scroll and repeating his actions.
"You didn't seal a bunch of innocent squirrels in there, did you?" asked Yukikaze.
"Not quite," said Naruto with a grin. "One of my summoning experiments went very wrong. But I had a sealing scroll ready to go so I used that."
Ba-doof!
"It's... a squirrel," noted Yukikaze, her ears drooping down in reaction to what she was seeing.
"Right," said Naruto.
"A squirrel the size of house?" asked Iljrene. "What is THAT supposed to accomplish?"
thwip thwip thwip thwip thwip thwip thwip thwip
"GRARRRRRR!"
Crash! Bash! Ka-Smash!
"...other than triggering a trap, getting hit with shuriken, and then going on a rampage to leave a trail of destruction through the obstacle course?" asked Iljrene.
"That ain't enough?" asked Naruto, almost sounding hurt.
"That still leaves a giant rampaging squirrel running amok," said Yukikaze.
"Hmmm," hmmmed Naruto.
"Hadn't thought that far ahead?" asked Iljrene. "Well, we'll just have to deal with that later then."
"No, actually, I was thinking - isn't it running in the direction of the Inuzuka compound?" asked Naruto.
Yukikaze looked thoughtfully in that direction. "Yeah. Okay. Less of a problem than we thought."
Kiiromaru stuck his head up. "Squirrel!"
"Don't bother it, it won't bother you," offered Kuromaru.
"Arf arf yap!" indicated Aoimaru.
"Knock yourself out then," indicated Kuromaru.
"Aruuu arr arr arr arr arr," went the puppy as he charged the far end of the compound.
"Kids," muttered Kuromaru, preparing to go back to his nap.
THOOM! THOOM! THOOM! THOOM!
Kuromaru didn't open his eye. "Tell me that's NOT a giant mutant squirrel invading our compound."
"Okay, I won't tell you," said Kiiromaru.
"Tell me," continued Kuromaru, still not looking, "that the pup isn't attacking it."
"No need to tell you, you already know it," said Kiiromaru.
Kuromaru sighed. "Call the pack. Why do I have a feeling blondie had a hand in this?"
Kiiromaru put his head back and howled. There was no need to answer that question.
"So, you got through the obstacle course, but destroyed most of a training ground, summoned a giant mutant squirrel, and managed to give one of the other genin a pathological fear of squirrels," said Brioche.
"Do we get points for creativity?" asked Naruto.
"What was that about one of the other genin getting hit with an eyebeam and developing squirrel powers as a result?" asked Yukikaze. "That sounded kind of... odd."
"Everything about this has been odd," said Brioche. "So, let's begin with the next mission."
"So we passed?" asked Iljrene.
"The Academy flat out refuses to deal with this level of damage, whereas if you do anything like this as genin - you can be held responsible for it," pointed out Brioche.
