Antics.

...

Right now I'm sneaking around with Naraku as we carry buckets of paints.

And you will wonder why we are doing this while we look jealously to the sides so that no one discovers us, well, we are going to do mischief.

Lately she has been pulling me to do these things and well, I couldn't refuse.

Because, I won't deny that I have fun in the process even if we end up with problems in the end.

We stealthily reached the faces of the hokages.

"Let's do it quickly, before the guards come"

"Mn"

I nod in silence.

"Then now!"

We quickly started painting.

And for obvious reasons I start painting the second hokage's face.

Then only a few moments pass and I can already hear the guards shouting from afar.

"Hey you guys!"

I rush to the other side as I start to spill paint.

"That's it!"

"This way too!"

Then dodging the guards we start to escape while Naraku laughs wildly by my side.

"LOL..."

"Be quiet!"

"But you didn't see their faces, it was so funny to see them like this, hahaha"

"And ours will soon be like this if we don't escape"

I try to say it with a serious face but the smile at the corners of my lips betrays me.

I won't lie, breaking the rules feels good.

Those faces represent a lot, so no one would try to do anything to them and even take care of it as a treasure.

Doing what is wrong is sometimes exciting.

...

"*light breath* Hah ah hah ah...."

"Uff, hah ah *light breath*"

Somehow we managed to escape.

"Those guards run a lot"

"Yeah, I hadn't expected it"

Then I compose myself and suddenly feel a presence.

I quickly tried to escape but a loud voice yelled at me from behind.

"YUBENG! NARAKU!"

'Shit, if I didn't relax a moment ago then I would have run away'

...

We are in the Hokage's room as the old Sarutobi calmly watches us as he smokes his pipe.

"*exhales smoke*, Naraku, Yubeng, can you explain to me why you did that mischief"

He asks while his face shows that apparently he's not angry about what we did.

In a normal situation, where I would be with a friend, then we don't betray each other, but that doesn't apply in this case...

"Naraku was the ringleader, she made me do it, I had nothing to do with it!"

I quickly point my finger at her.

Betraying her as if it were nothing, not even my face changed when doing so, as if it were something normal.

"!!?, Hey!, you were the one who directed me how to do it"

"But you gave me the idea"

"You did the details"

So we started taking out each other's dirty laundry.

In the end we end up saying everything while accusing each other.

"*sigh*, stop you two"

When Sarutobi speaks we stop our fight.

"Please don't do that again, those statues are very important to the village, they represent..."

Then the third hokage's brainwashing speech begins.

Even in the anime, hearing it was amazing.

There is no doubt that children who hear this end up nationalized.

Unfortunately for Sarutobi's bad luck that doesn't work for me, because I know a lot about this world and really those nice words from his mouth aren't going to buy me.

"...then go ahead, fix that"

"Okay..."

"Mn"

Naraku says with a bored face as I nod quietly.

We get up from our seats as we head out the door.

As Naraku leaves followed by Yubeng an imperceptible gleam passes through Sarutobi's eyes as he watches Yubeng's back walk away through the door.

*door closed*

No one knows what he is thinking about at this moment but in the end he ends up sighing.

...

As we walk I see that Naraku is staring at me with a piercing gaze as he walks.

At his gaze, she smiled calmly.

"What happens?"

"Traitor"

His words do not surprise me in the least.

"I had no choice, if we hadn't said everything at that time then the old man would have delayed getting the information out of us right?"

"..."

She looks at me with a thoughtful look.

"I don't know why I can't believe you"

"Come on don't be like that, I'm your best friend, I just want the best for you"

Then I approach her and hug her around her neck quite confidently.

"Let go!"

"Come on don't be shy, you know I appreciate you so I only do this with you"

"Dumbbells!"

"LOL"

So we continue to fool around for a while while we go to clean up the mess we made.

...

I get up from my bed while yawning from the persistent sleep.

"Today is a new day and a busy one too"

Today I promised to go to Ino to help her with his shop.

From boyfriend to free worker, what's next? Loyal dog or slave? I don't know and I don't want to know, but the effort had better be worth it because if not...

*I get fierce*

'I will become very sad and discouraged'

My ferocity disappears in a second revealing my slumped shoulders.

"..."

Although, who am I kidding? Inside of me I'm looking forward to it because if things turn out well, who knows if we move on to the next step and... Hehehe.

I put on a face that shows part of my perversion.

After classes I head towards the flower shop.

...

When I get closer I see that Ino is coming to open the door.

"Hello, I was waiting for you, let's go inside"

He talks to me with a smile on his face.

"Yes"

I answer slowly.

She takes me to a part of the house where they plant flowers.

"Then Let's Start This Side"

She notices my lack of desire.

"Come on cheer up, after all we wouldn't be in this situation if you didn't mess me up every time, the work adds up"

Hearing that argument I make a face.

'Well, it always seems that you enjoy it more than me'

"If we manage to finish today then I will give you a special reward"

She puts on a mysterious smile.

That last word of his grabs my attention immediately.

'A reward?'

A slight sparkle passes through my eyes.

"What's up, interested?"

"Okay, I accept, but what is the reward?"

"Secret"

'Okay, I don't lose anything, I'll try to win that reward'

Thinking of the possible rewards makes me feel a bit animated.

"Okay, where do we start"

My attitude seems to change in less than a second.

She seems to laugh a little at my performance.

"Hahahaha" (light laugh as she covers her mouth)

"What is so funny?"

"Nothing, nothing, let's start there before it's too late"

And so she begins to teach me in the process of cutting flowers.

...

"Hey Ino, how about this?"

"No, no, although it's better than the previous one, you still need a little more"

"So can you teach me again?"

I say with a helpless smile.

"*sigh*, you have no solution, come on, I'll teach you again but let it be the last time, do you hear me?"

"Yes"

She then proceeds to come to the side of me while I'm crouching down and grabs my hand and tries to grab my other hand causing me to press her chest against my arm.

I enjoy the feeling as she pretends I'm paying attention.

I think this would be the real reason why I now feel encouraged to do these things.

(PDA: so now the real question is: the '*sigh*, you don't have a solution' will it be because she feels helpless with how slow she learns or because she realized her intentions from the beginning)

...

At the end of the day we finish doing the work.

"Whew, at least we finished on time"

"Yes, even though you've been asking me for help several times I'm surprised we finished on time"

"Well, what can we do, that's my ability"

I give a satisfied smile.

"Wh-, as if it were true"

She says a rhetorical comment as she smiles back.

"Then what about my reward?"

"About that come, before my parents come"

"?, why?"

"If they see me here with you at this time then there would be trouble for both of us right?"

"If you're right"

"Then follow me"

She takes me to what is her room.

When she entered the room she looked around curiously.

"Are you done watching?"

"Haha, I was just a little curious"

"Well, you better keep it because we're running out of time"

"So what was the reward? Giving me the privilege of visiting your room?"

She touches her face with the palm of her hand.

"Oh, you're slow"
