In Trouble Together [Naruto]

[Croup]

"I can't believe the two of you! Performing that perverted technique . . . and in public, no less!" Iruka fumed as he hauled both Naruto and Konohamaru off the street and into his office.

"Oi, oi! C'mon, sensei . . . Lay off a little, willya?" Naruto said, wincing a little at Iruka's grip on his ear. "We were just goofing around some! . . . And don't tell me you didn't enjoy it a little, either. I saw that nosebleed!"

Iruka yanked on the blond's ear harder, making the guy yelp. "That's not important. The point is, that technique isn't something either of you should be doing on the street--or at all, for that matter!"

Konohamaru winced a bit as the blonde’s sensei pulled them to his office by the ear. He had a feeling he shouldn’t have done the jutsu, especially since it had been Naruto’s idea. Looking up at the brown hair sensei, Konohamaru tried to pin the fault on the other boy.

“Iruka-sensei~” the boy whined. “This was Naruto’s fault. He’s the one who taught me the jutsu. Not to mention it was his idea to do this.” The boy argued. He didn’t mean to throw Naruto under the bus, so to speak, but he didn’t want to get into trouble himself. Besides, how hard would Iruka be on the blonde?

"Ehhh!? Hey, how could you say that! I mean . . . it may have been my idea this time, but all the other times it was yours!" Naruto said, scowling at the shorter ninja. Since their first meeting, Naruto had always seen Konohamaru as a kind of 'younger brother' to him, but right now he was being an especially annoying one.

Iruka held up a hand before they could argue further. "That's enough. Naruto, Konohamaru has a point. It's bad enough that you use that jutsu, let alone teach it to others. Konohamaru's always looked up to you . . . What kind of role-model are you being for him?"

The teacher considered both delinquents. He'd thought that Naruto had matured since his three-year training with Jiraiya, but obviously there was a still a bit of prankster in him. And Konohamaru--even though he'd recently made genin the boy still got into trouble regularly. Iruka sighed. Only one thing to do.

"I hate to do this . . . since you should each know better by now--especially you, Naruto--but I'll have to punish you both."

[crazyxanime]

“No it wasn’t! It was always your idea Naruto!” he stuck out his tongue at the blond. It was true that Naruto was like an older brother to Konohamaru. However, he would immediately put guilt on the other if it got him out of trouble. Once Iruka’s hand went up, the boy immediately stayed silent.

Glaring at Naruto, he listened to what the sensei had to say. Again, he stuck out his tongue at the blond. That is, until he heard what Iruka said. His tongue went back into his mouth when he heard the word punish. “Wait, why do I have to be punished for this? It’s all his dumb fault” the boy said, protesting.

[[Sorry it took so long ^^']]

(no worries!)

Iruka raised an eyebrow. "You seemed to be going along with it quite willingly."

"Yeah!" agreed Naruto. "It wasn't MY fault that you had such a blast turning into two babes at once and rubbing your naked lalas against each other--!" If he was going to get punished, he sure as hell wasn't going to get it alone.

Their old teacher had a choking fit at the imagery. When he regained his senses, he looked at them sternly. "The point is, you both did things that deserve correction. And so you both deserve a firm punishment."

"Oi oi, Iruka-sensei, you keep talking about 'punishing' us," Naruto said. "What are you gonna do exactly, 'tebayo?"

"The only thing that ever seems to get through to either of you," the scarred chuunin said with a huff. "A good spanking."

"E--EHHHH? I'm way too old now for one of those!" Naruto yelled.

[crazyxanime]

Konohamaru had to admit that he was kind of enjoying it, making him chuckle a little. It was certainly entertaining, especially the looks on the guys faces. The boy turned to Naruto, sighing. There was no way to get out of this one it seemed.

The boy didn’t like the idea of getting punished, but how bad could this really be? Hearing the response to Naruto’s question, the boy gulped loudly. He didn’t argue with Iruka, he knew better than to argue with anyone who was about to spank him. He did however, try to convince him. “Can’t we just talk about this Iruka-sensei?” he questioned, looking up at the older man.

[Croup]

The man shook his head. "We've tried that before, remember? Every time you say it won't happen again, and yet a week later you're right back to misbehaving. We'll see if this doesn't leave a more lasting impression." Iruka sat down and beckoned Konohamaru forward. "Since you're youngest, you'll go first."

[crazyxanime]

“No, this time I really won’t do it, promise” he said, looking at Iruka. “Come on Iruka-sensei. I won’t do it again, really this time” he replied, taking a step backwards. He didn’t want to be spanked, or go first for that matter. He put his arms behind his back, taking one more step back. "I'll be good, promise Iruka-sensei."

[Croup]

Konohamaru didn't back up far however, before he felt a hand on his back pushing him forward. "Hey, where ya going? You heard the man, Konohamaru," Naruto said, snickering a little. "You're up first!" The blond firmly thrust the younger boy forward until they got up to Iruka. "Special delivery of one naughty Hokage's grandson!"

"Thanks . . . " Iruka gripped Konohamaru and set him over his lap. "I wish I could believe you, Konohamaru. I really do. But it's simply happened too many times by now. This will hurt me just as much as it hurts you."

Naruto stood by, arms crossed and a small smirk on his face. To tell the truth, he didn't want to be there either . . . But, part of him really wanted to see Konohamaru get it. Next time, the brat wouldn't try and sell him out.

[crazyxanime]

Konohamaru let out a surprised sound when he was pushed forward. Blinking, he turned to Naruto for a moment before being grabbed by Iruka. The boy gulped as he was put over the other’s lap. A sad expression grew on the boy’s face as he listened to Iruka. When the other stated that it would hurt him just as much, the boy simply shook his head. He didn’t think it would. Being in his position would hurt the most.

Letting out a sigh, he waited for Iruka, deciding there wasn’t really any way to get out of this mess. At least there was one good thing about going first. He would get it out of the way instead of being nervous while waiting his turn. Still, in his opinion it really wasn’t fair. Besides, he was the Hokage’s grandson, he couldn’t do this to him.
