"She won't do too much with them, they're Academy students," said Dog.
Chupacabra's head slowly swiveled to face Dog.
"Do you really want to intervene before she's gotten this out of her system?" asked Dog.
"Have to rescue them before she goes too far, you know."
Dog stared back at Chupacabra.
"Yeah, I'm not looking forward to it either."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" screamed a girl with pink hair.
"Oh, the dreaded 'As much fun as a barrel of snakes' technique," said Chupacabra. Where the victim was suspended by a rope around her ankle and slowly lowered into a barrel filled with snakes all squirming around. He'd heard the Aburame had a similar jutsu involving bugs.
"They're only nine years old and not from an enemy village, there are lines even Anko won't cross," said Dog quietly.
"I don't know Mitarashi that well," said Chupacabra. "Mainly through what I've heard. You sure?"
"Yeah, but they don't know that," pointed out Chupacabra.
"NO, NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed a yellow-haired girl as she found a snake had crawled into her dress and was getting friendly.
Anko was happy and rewarded the two young kunoichi trainees with a little advice and admonished them to keep it up. She would be checking back with them to make sure they improved.
A genuine no-holds-barred (short of death or dismemberment of course) prank war. Stealth to avoid being caught. Trapmaking and strategies for the setup. Information gathering to learn how to do it and how to maximize the prank.
Yes, this had definite promise.
The two scrolls she'd gotten and snuck into their packs were just rewards for such dedication.
Though, yeah, she WOULD be checking on them later. They might slack off otherwise.
She would win.
Ino wasn't sure HOW this had started, WHO had started, or WHEN it had started. Things were a little confused in her head lately, possibly a side-effect of a few weeks back where there had been an exceptionally bad day.
She was going to win this though. She had a ninja clan's resources to draw upon. Poor Sakura wouldn't stand a chance.
Did she really want to do this though? Sakura had once been her friend. She shouldn't humiliate the poor girl after all.
Her foot came down on a brick right outside her clan compound's side entry.
click! twang! chunk! splut!
She wasn't sure where the phrase came from as she wiped yellow pudding off of her head as best she could. She just knew it was somehow appropriate.
"Of course you know - this means war."
Sakura smirked as Ino still had a bit of yellow pudding on one ear as her chief rival arrived at school.
Her smirk intensified at Ino's glare.
Let the other stew in impotent rage. Sakura had already checked her bag and desk area. She'd already determined that Ino had not managed to strike back yet.
Now it would be too late with Iruka-sensei showing up.
She could counter anything Ino could possibly do.
She thought that up until Ino managed to flick a spider, using kunai-throwing skills, directly onto the back of her neck.
Of course, she had to get her rival back after that. Right?
A water balloon made such a good delivery device, particularly when loaded with a little of a particularly bad cologne she'd run across.
Sasuke marched up to Sakura's spot on the desk. "No."
"No?" asked Sakura, her hopes of it being something romantic crumbling over the look Sasuke was giving her.
"You may not have my used underwear," said Sasuke. "Not happening. Not going to. No."
"Wha-" asked Sakura, not having any idea where this had come from.
"Everyone to your seats, get your textbooks out," said Iruka as he walked in. "Start with chapter five where we left off yesterday."
Sakura wasn't sure what was going on or what had brought THAT on. She opened her pack, pulled out her book, and noted that some piece of cloth was wadded in there. Naturally she pulled it out and unfurled it to try and figure out what it was.
"SASUKE'S PANTIES!" shrieked Ami, pointing.
Dead silence for a moment.
Naruto snorted, then fell off his chair laughing.
Sasuke glared at her for a moment before apparently dismissing the entire thing as below his notice.
Several members of the Sasuke fanbase shrieked about Sakura either being so bold, or how this was an unacceptable breech of Sasuke's privacy, or how she was going to do better, or how someone was declaring her need to steal it from Sakura. Oh, and there were several protests about Ami getting the terminology wrong.
Iruka stared before going to facepalm position.
