(Boom!)
Hanabi failed once again to hit Konohamaru.
("That was a close one!")
("She really does not care if I survive her hits…") Konohamaru thought.
("He is like a cockroach!")
("He is too tenacious!") Hanabi concluded.
"ARRGGHHHH!!!" Konohamaru charged once again, being frustrated from running away….
(Bang!)
Konohamaru was sent flying across…
"HONORABLE GRANDSON!" Ebisu sensei arrived immediately by Konohamaru's side!
("Thank God!")
("It's not a serious wound!") Ebisu calmed after seeing that Konohamaru now had two swollen up cheeks.
"I will come back to challenge you once again!" Konohamaru declared as he stood up with his swollen face in full view.
"WHAT?" Hanabi stepped in.
"Young Mistress of Hyūga!" Ebisu sensei called out with respect!
"Please forgive me for not disciplining my student here!" Ebisu bowed towards Hanabi.
"Next time, I won't let him off easily!" Hanabi declared her intention.
"Yes!" Ebisu sensei said upon which he vanished from the spot with Konohamaru in tow.
("That boy!") Hanabi stared at her palms which were glowing bright red, especially the palm that she struck against Konohamaru's fist from before…
…..
In the forest a few meters away from the Hyūga clan district…
"Honorable Grandson!"
"I hope you've learned your lesson!" Ebisu-sensei said.
"Mm!"
"I've understood…" Konohamaru said slowly.
Ebisu nodded towards Konohamaru.
"Understood that IT IS TOO LATE TO GIVE UP!" Konohamaru shouted.
"Y-You…" Ebisu-sensei pointed towards Konohamaru…
"Today is her training day!"
"She's bound to come out in the afternoon and evening as well…"
"I'll go there in the afternoon again!"
"If I fail, I'll go in the evening too!" Konohamaru declared.
"Ah!" Ebisu-sensei fainted.
....
Soon it was After-noon!
Konohamaru arrived once again to face Hanabi.
("Looks like he knows I will be training here in the afternoon and evening as well") Hanabi thought upon seeing Konohamaru again.
"Are you here for a spanking?"
"Boy?" Hanabi asked.
"Boy?"
"Who the hell are you calling boy?"
"You pretending to be a grandma at your age?" Konohamaru asked.
*Hanabi TRIGGERED!*
"I guess I will give you a full course of spanking today!" Hanabi rubbed her palm against each other.
"Good!"
"Let's fight!" Konohamaru got into his fighting stance!
....
*sound of burnt meat*
"Ouch!" Konohamaru went walking through the forest while having two hands on his buttocks.
("That little witch is scary with her punishments all right!") Konohamaru rubbed his buttocks, trying to ease the pain from all the spanking he had received from Hanabi's caretaker, Who was ordered by Hanabi herself.
("I am still not going to give up!") Konohamaru declared in his mind as he continued to walk…
...
Evening arrived, followed by the arrival of Konohamaru in front of Hanabi again.
"Back for your punishment again?" Hanabi asked with her hands behind her back.
"No!"
"It's time for you to be defeated by me!" Konohamaru declared.
Hanabi *sighed* following which she brought her hands out from the back.
*Sound of whip!*
"It's not palms for you this time boy!" Hanabi said.
"Geez!, Girl is your dad an 'M'?" Konohamaru stared at the whip in Hanabi's hand.
"I know, I asked you to be my Girl-friend."
"But that was fast!"
"Unfortunately, I am not an 'M'" Konohamaru shook his head.
*Hanabi TRIGGERED!*
"I guess I will give you a full course of lashings for the evening!!" Hanabi said following which, she unleashed her whip!
"Hmph!"
"You are not scary!" Konohamaru caught the end of the whip before it landed.
"I've seen a girl scarier than you are!" Konohamaru declared thinking back to the pink demon Naruto had protected him from…
"I am not scary?"
"Yup!"
"You are just the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!" Konohamaru said.
("Yep, She does not lose to her sister!") Konohamaru was proud of his decision.
"Beautiful?" Hanabi's face turned red.
"Hmm?" Konohamaru saw something flash by…
Before Konohamaru could react, he was sent flying by a palm from Hanabi, following which Hanabi ran towards her house.
"Ouch!" Konohamaru groaned in pain.
He struggled to get up, only to see Hanabi was nowhere in sight!
("Sorry, Naruto-niichan!")
("I am unable to compare to you in any way!") Konohamaru thought back to what Asuma told him, the day that people from the academy had their jounins assigned…
—————Flashback ——————
Asuma entered the Sarutobi residence.
"Uncle Asuma!" Konohamaru called out as he ran towards Asuma.
"Oh!"
"If it ain't Konohamaru!" Asuma squatted down.
"Uncle Asuma!"
"How was your placement today?" Konohamaru asked.
"Why are you suddenly interested?" Asuma asked.
"I met this cool bro yesterday who defeated Ebisu-sensei!" Konohamaru said.
"Oh!"
"What is the boy's name?" Asuma asked.
"His name is Uzumaki Naruto!"
"He said he was going to become a Genin today!" Konohamaru said.
"Naruto defeated Ebisu-sensei?" Asuma asked.
"Mm!" Konohamaru nodded.
("I'm not surprised, he has already defeated Mizuki after all…") Asuma thought.
"So did you get him in your team?" Konohamaru asked excitedly.
"Nope!"
"I was put in charge of the new Ino-Shika-Cho team this year!" Asuma said.
"I see…" Konohamaru murmured.
"Hehe" Asuma snickered a bit.
"What is it?" Konohamaru asked.
"That bro of yours has great luck with the ladies!" Asuma said.
"huh?"
"What do you mean?" Konohamaru asked.
"He approached a girl and told she was looking beautiful," Asuma said.
"Eh?"
"The Boss did that?" Konohamaru asked.
"The Boss?" Asuma raised an eyebrow.
"Don't mind that, tell me what happened?" Konohamaru persuaded Asuma to continue.
"Well, the next thing that happened surprised me."
"The girl fainted from hearing those words," Asuma said,
"huh?"
"She fainted?" Konohamaru asked.
"Yup!" Asuma smiled.
"Isn't that a failed attempt then?" Konohamaru asked.
"You numbskull!"
"She was so happy that she fainted from the compliment!" Asuma ruffled Konohamaru's hair.
"Ah!" Konohamaru's mouth opened.
"I KNEW IT!"
"THE BOSS IS SO COOL TO THE POINT THAT GIRLS FALL FOR HIM!" Konohamaru shouted.
Asuma scratched his head.
("Best not to tell him that Sasuke did not even appreciate the girls chasing after him just to sit next to him…") Asuma thought.
"So…"
"Who is that girl?" Konohamaru asked following which he took out and a pen and a notepad.
Asuma paused for a moment.
("Surely Kurenai wouldn't mind me revealing this information right?") Asuma thought.
"Uncle Asuma!" Konohamaru called out!
"Right!"
"She is from the Hyūga clan."
"Her name is Hyūga Hinata!" Asuma revealed the information.
"Hyūga Hinata, got it!" Konohamaru said, following which he closed his notebook and ran towards the door.
"Thanks, Uncle Asuma!" Konohamaru shouted as he closed the door and ran out.
"That kid is eager all right!" Asuma murmured as he left the corridor.
—————-End Of Flashback———————
("I am too ashamed to call myself your rival!")
("To think I was unable to make her faint…") Konohamaru sighed as he stared at the evening sky.
Meanwhile…
Hanabi closed the door after reaching her house.
Hah!
Hah!
Hah!
Hanabi breathed in and out at a rapid rate from all the running she did right now.
("Why is my heart beating so much?") Hanabi asked herself.
("To think he called me beautiful…") Hanabi thought back to the scene where Konohamaru called her that.
("I will not show him any mercy the next time he shows up for sure!") Hanabi declared in her mind.
——————————————
Somewhere along the borders of the Land Of Fire…
(Whoosh!)
Kakashi, Rasa and Naruto's clones landed on the ground in the middle of the forest.
"Pervy-Sage!"
"Jiraiya-sama!" Naruto and Kakashi stared at Jiraiya who stood in front of the group.
"Pervy-Sage?" Rasa looked towards Naruto.
"Ahem!"
"Naruto, you can leave the escorting back to me."
"So, go ahead and dispel all your clones!" Jiraiya said.
"Mm!" Naruto nodded.
"I'll be leaving then…" Naruto's clones nodded towards Rasa, Kakashi and Jiraiya following which they dispelled at the same time.
"Good to have you with us, Kazekage-sama!"
"Your mission has been approved personally by the Third" Jiraiya said following which he removed a scroll from his pocket.
"Mm!" Rasa nodded upon seeing that it was the scroll Naruto had used the messenger frog to deliver.
"Shall we go then?" Kakashi asked.
Jiraiya and Rasa nodded, following which the trio vanished into the night as they headed for the Hidden Leaf Village.
————————————————
The next morning…
Konohamaru looked at the clock that was on the wall.
("She will be training today evening!") Konohamaru thought as he stared into the green board on which Iruka was busy explaining Ninja concepts.
"KONOHAMARU!" Iruka called out.
"…" Konohamaru kept staring.
("This kid is worse than Naruto!")
("How is he able to sleep with his eyes open like that?") Iruka thought.
*snot pop!*
"Ah!"
"Which page?"
"Which page?" Udon stood up with his book upside down.
"HAHAHAHA!!!!" The whole class started to laugh
"Konohamaru-kun..." Moegi murmured upon seeing Konohamaru staring into the green-board in front of the class.
