Chapter Four: Short Shrift

�� Naruto groggily woke to the annoying sound of knocking.
At first he thought it was from the television, still on from last night, and
he squinted at the screen irritably to see if the scene displayed reflected the
sound appropriately. Cupping one hand around over Sasuke, asleep within the
breast pocket of the jinchuuriki�s pajama top, Naruto rubbed at his eyes and
yawned, arching slightly to ease the stiffness in his back from sleeping on the
couch all night.
�� The blonde glanced down at his chest again and smiled at
the cute picture the Uchiha made as the brunet continued to sleep soundly, the
picture of vulnerability with his dark hair tousled and mouth open. As they had
settled in for the night yesterday, the shrunken ninja had remained inside the
pajama pocket without complain and as he had settled down, Naruto had had to
listen to the drowsy Uchiha complaint that the blonde�s heart beat was too loud,
unsurprising since the pocket lay directly over the organ. Sasuke had muttered
something about never being able to get any sleep even as he sprawled out and
then, with no small amount of amusement, Naruto had watched as the other
promptly drifted off to dreamland. Coming back to the present, the blonde
gently stroked the brunet�s back with one hand and rubbed in annoyance at his
temple with the other, wondering who the hell was banging on his door so damn
early. Sasuke was recovering nicely from the poison, the anti-venom negating
whatever the brunette�s system couldn�t handle, but Naruto had wanted to give
the brunet as much peace and quiet as possible to recover in.��
�� And it was now, of all times, that someone decided to
visit him.
�� Well the sooner he opened the door, the sooner he could
shut it and check the Uchiha�s recovery. With exaggerated care, Naruto stood,
his head turning automatically in the correct direction when he caught movement
out the corner of his left eye. A very large spider was walking sedately past
him on its way down the short hall that led to his room and as he focused on
it, the arachnid seemed to feel his gaze and paused, turning from its intended path
to head toward him instead.
�� Hey, Ami.� Naruto greeted when the spider reached his
feet. Smiling, he held perfectly still as the animal rubbed its body against
his ankles in a move not very different from a scent marking cat, one furry leg
delicately tapping itself against the blonde�s leg until he bent over. With a
quiet laugh, Naruto offered a flat hand to the dinner plate sized spider and
stood upright slowly so as not to startle Ami more than the knocking obviously
had.
�� Then he walked to
the door and pulled it open, making sure that his occupied hand was in plain
view of those outside.
�� Took you long enoug-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!� Someone screamed,
her voice ear drum shattering, and he recognized Sakura immediately without any
difficulty. What surprised him was the second scream that followed and he
opened the door wide enough to peer out and see that Hinata had also decided to
visit.
�� Na, Naruto-kun,� Hinata squeaked out, her strange
pupilless eyes comically wide as she watched Ami. �Good morning.�
�� Naruto!� Sakura, obviously recovered, stalked toward
him, one fist raised to hit him, and the blonde sidled to his left, keeping the
door �and Ami- between them.
�� Sakura-chan, Hinata-chan! What a pleasant surprise�.�
Naruto said, working hard to keep his anxiety out of his voice. The loud
exchange had woken Sasuke and the Uchiha, hidden from view behind the door, was
looking up at him in alarm. Fangs bared at the girls, Ami was also bothered by
the exchange and the spider�s long legs had wrapped firmly around Naruto�s
hand, engulfing it completely and rendering it useless.�
�� Were you asleep, Naruto?� Hinata ventured, looking him
up and down curiously. Her question seemed to distract Sakura and the kunoichi
calmed enough to put her fist down.
�� Yeah, just woke up.� He yawned, turning his head and
resting it against the door momentarily as he finished the action.� �What can we,� He hefted Ami gently. �Do for
you two fine ladies?�
�� Abruptly both women flushed darkly and began fidgeting
under his gaze. Silence stretched between them for several seconds, broken only
by soft gasps from Sakura and Hinata when Ami freed his hand with exaggerated
slowness, one long furry leg waving minutely to get Naruto�s attention.
�� What�s it doing?� Sakura asked in a whisper, her eyes
glued to the arachnid.
�� She wants to be put down.� Naruto explained as he
complied with the silent request, squatting down to the floor and placing the
back of his hand against the wooden boards. Ami immediately crawled off and
headed toward his room.
�� Is she a pet?� Hinata asked as she watched.
�� Hmm� kinda.� The blonde said, standing and scratching
the back of his head absently. �Gaara gave her to me to keep me company. She�s
cuddlier than she seems, doesn�t make a lot of noise, and I haven�t seen a rat
since I got her.�
�� Rat?� Sakura repeated faintly, looking horrified, her
eyes darting down to the floor as if a rodent would suddenly emerge at any
moment. She shifted her stance, putting most of her weight on one leg, as if
trying to put as little of her as possible in contact with the floor.
�� Out the corner of his eye, Naruto could see Sasuke�s jaw
drop. Then the Uchiha recovered and glared at the blonde with an intensity
usually only seen in governing celestial bodies.
�� Yeah, nasty vicious little things that would eat
anything. This isn�t the best apartment building and management refused to do
anything about them. It got so bad I had to lock my ramen in metal containers.�
Naruto shrugged dismissively, rolling his shoulder and making his shirt pocket
move, Sasuke momentarily disappearing as he lost his footing. The blonde rolled
his shoulder again, exaggerating the movement to loosen as many of the tight muscles
as possible and Sasuke, who had just gotten to his feet, disappeared once more.
Naruto bit his bottom lip to keep from smiling as he waited for the brunet to
reappear, looking forward to continuing the game until the Uchiha pinched the
blonde�s nipple through the material of the pajama top. Naruto made a noise
that was very much like a quiet yelp and quickly tried to cover it up by
speaking. �So what brings you two here so early?�
�� Sakura looked sheepish and shifted slightly as her eyes
studied the floor. Hinata, too, suddenly seemed very interested in the faded
design of the welcome mat outside his door. �Both of them, at alternating times, scuffed a
shoe against the hall floor, the action making the pair of almost full grown
kunoichi suddenly look like school children preparing to be scolded.
�� Silence stretched between them but Naruto waited
patiently as they fidgeted, shifting slightly to evenly distribute his weight
as he gave them time to speak.
�� Hinata found her voice first. �We, uh, we h-heard you
went s-shopping��
�� Though he didn�t know exactly where she was going with
the conversation, as casually as possible Naruto closed the door further to
better hide his breast pocket, the blonde hiding the action as he hid the
movement by shifting his feet again. His heart sped up but he forced himself to
keep his expression politely interested.
�� Naruto,� Sakura
said suddenly, voice firm with no hint of whatever emotion was making her
blush. �Do you play with dolls?�
�� For a moment, Naruto could only stare at her but then as
he finally processed her words, he flushed brilliantly. �Wha-! No, I don�t
play�� Where is this coming from?!�
�� We saw you shopping yesterday.� Hinata said quietly,
looking back and forth between his face and Sakura as his former teammate continued
to stare at him intensely. �You bought a lot of doll related merchandise and we
just wondering� Do you�?� She made a vague motion that meant absolutely nothing
to Naruto.
�� Open mouthed, the blonde felt lightheaded from the sudden
rush of blood as he blushed fiercely. It wasn�t like he could explain the real
reason why he had suddenly gone out to buy such things but still..!He was a
guy, damn it! A guy! Playing with
dolls was a girl thing! The idea of him playing with a doll- a real one that
little girls always seemed so fond of dressing up and pretending to bottle
feed- was not only the epitome of insults but also a major blow to his
masculinity and it actually hurt to have the idea suggested by two people he
considered close friends.�
�� His hand tightened on the door still within his grip, the
wood emitting a groan of protest into the silence that had descended between
the trio, startling both girls.
�� I am not a girl!� Naruto shouted at them, glaring as he
stepped back inside the apartment, slamming the door shut in their surprised faces.

�� I don�t believe this!� Naruto muttered. The blonde was
pacing, his movements angry and sharp as he completed another pass by the bed,
shedding water in his wake. The little droplets left a trial of dark spots, as
if some small invisible being was following the fuming blonde as he continued
to walk around the room.
�� Sasuke, perched on the bed among the folds of a hand
towel, watched silently, using the opportunity to admire all that toned muscle
bunch and flex beneath all of Naruto�s exposed golden skin above the towel
knotted at his waist.� The blonde had
climbed in the shower after talking with the kunoichi pair, nearly shattering
the shower stall door when he slammed it shut behind him, and, after putting
the Uchiha�s supplies in the basin leaving, had left Sasuke to bathe in the
sink. Their time in the bathroom had been silent and the brunet had foolishly
thought that the blonde had gotten over the injury caused by Sakura�s
thoughtless question until they had entered Naruto�s bedroom and the
jinchuuriki began grousing. Loudly.
�� In Sasuke�s opinion, Naruto was being a dobe. Dark eyes
again swept up and down the blonde�s body, taking in Naruto�s broad shoulders
and the lean muscle of the blonde�s chest, raking down over the narrow towel
covered hips that swelled gently into muscular thighs and, further down, toned
calves supported by wide feet. The baby fat was all gone now leaving behind the
hard planes and angles that usually made up the average male form. There was
nothing soft or curvy about Naruto, nothing remotely feminine at all, and to
suggest otherwise only proved that the speaker was a moron. �
�� There isn�t anything girly about me!� Naruto exploded
suddenly, startling both Sasuke and Ami where she sat on the sun deck of the
doll house. The massive spider had its fangs buried in the body of a large
cockroach and was steadily sucking the insect dry as the blonde paced. Oddly,
it reminded Sasuke of the way some people ate potato chips while watching a TV
show or other entertainment and the mental image was simply bizarre.
�� The fact that the damn thing was doing it on top of his
new home didn�t sit well with Sasuke either.
�� Right?� Naruto asked and the Uchiha forced himself to
stop glaring at the spider to return his attention to the blonde, frowning as
his friend suddenly began pulling at the knot of cloth at his waist.
�� A very bad feeling settled in the pit of the brunet�s stomach
as he watched Naruto tug at the material until it came loose and fell to the
floor. The blonde was suddenly, gloriously naked and Sasuke had to clench his
jaw very tightly to keep from drooling openly at the unexpected but welcome
sight.
�� I am not a girl! There isn�t anything girly about me! Look
at me- look at this! Is anything girly about that?!� In a warped and
crude demonstration of just how male he truly was, Naruto cupped himself in one
hand and pointed to his genitals with the other so that there was no
misunderstanding exactly what �that� referred to.
�� Slack-jawed, Sasuke could only stare at the blonde in
disbelief, his secret enjoyment gone as the wheels of his mind began turning
the situation over, studying the information objectively. Naruto wasn�t simply
upset over a minor implied threat to his manhood- he was having an absolute
meltdown and the Uchiha couldn�t figure out why, not unless some larger issue
was driving the blonde�s behavior. Something else had to be eating at the blonde,
and blowing the perceived slight completely out of proportion. Having his
masculinity in doubt had shaken Naruto on a deep level, driving him to find
reassurance of his masculinity even if the only ones available were a small
traitorous friend and a large female spider.
�� The list of exactly what could cause such a reaction was relatively
short and, though all options were possible, the most likely was something that
tightened Sasuke�s chest and made his heart race in fear.�
�� He had to swallow twice before speaking and even then had
to work hard to emulate an appropriate tone. �You�re all male, dobe, now put
some clothes on before you make me go blind!� He covered his eyes with both
hands, for effect before dropping them back down.
�� Damn right I�m male!� Naruto shouted, releasing himself
and straightening, flaunting his body perfectly as he strode purposely around
the room to get clothing, speaking as he moved. �No one�s calling me a girl. My
body isn�t feminine in the least and anyone who thinks otherwise will have a
chat with my fist! I�m not girly- I�m not gay!�
He
began shimmying into his clothes and Sasuke looked away, keeping his expression
hidden as his hands fisted tightly into the cloth of his towel, his chest a
mass of blazing agony as his previous suspicion was confirmed.�
Naruto
was homophobic. Sasuke had fallen in love with someone who would never love him
back- who would probably throw him out or worse if the blonde ever found out
about the Uchiha�s feelings. The only one who had ever understood Sasuke, his
best friend, the last person he considered family, a person who he had thought
accepted everyone regardless of their faults, was homophobic.
It
wasn�t fair and the knowledge settled over him heavily. Sasuke had never felt
more alone than he did now and when Naruto called his name, the brunet looked
up without any thought as to his expression.
�Hey,
what�s wrong?� Naruto�s smile disappeared as he �knelt beside the bed and peered down at the
diminutive Uchiha in concern, large tan hands hovering around Sasuke, ready to
swoop in and administer aid. �Are you in pain? Do you feel sick?�
�� The answer to each questions was both yes and no but
Sasuke pushed the feelings away and scraped together his hard won calm and
aloofness. Face feeling tight and stiff, he made a customary �hn� of annoyance
and, exaggerating each movement, dramatically winked first with one eye then
did the same with the other.
�� Come on, teme, what is it?� Naruto�s large blue eyes
dominated the brunet�s vision, the liquid orbs only inches away, silently pleading with the Uchiha to share what was on
his mind.
�� Though his body felt wire tight, Sasuke forced it to
relax, to slump in mock relief. He fluttered his eyelids again pointedly then
glared. �You were too slow! Next time you decide to parade yourself, warn me!��
�� Asshole.� Naruto huffed, rolling his eyes and standing,
shaking his head as he towered over the Uchiha.�
Snagging the handle of one of the shopping bags still strewn about the
room, the blonde rummaged inside it until he withdrew some clothes for Sasuke,
throwing them onto the bed beside the brunet. �Put something on- I feel like
watching a movie while we eat breakfast and your bare butt isn�t getting
anywhere near my couch cushions.�
�� Mechanically, Sasuke did as he was told, pulling open the
plastic wrapping surrounding the items and dressing without paying any
attention to the outfit. When he was clothed, the Uchiha stood stiffly and
waited for Naruto to offer him a tan hand.
�� The next few hours passed by in a blur for the Uchiha, as
his attention span and concentration were suddenly nonexistent. They did watch
a movie while they ate (cereal for Sasuke, ramen for Naruto) but the brunet
couldn�t follow the plot, didn�t get the jokes that the blonde he sat next to
seemed to find so incredibly funny. Appetite gone, Sasuke had forced himself to
eat his stack of cornflakes, heedless of the mess that gathered in his lap
during the process since the flakes, each one the size of his two hands put
together,� had the irritating tendency to
shatter into pieces any time he took too large a bite. The Uchiha watched the
television screen blankly, occasionally grunting noncommittally when Naruto
asked him something, and felt as if some vital part of his world had been
destroyed.
�� All the color was suddenly gone. It was such a stupid and
disgustingly romanticized way to phrase what he was feeling but Sasuke though
it was perhaps the best. Naruto had always been such a bright, bouncy,
comforting presence within the Uchiha�s life and though the brunet hadn�t often
consciously appreciated this fact, some part of him had always found the blonde
incredibly reassuring. Naruto was his sun, his anchor on a fundamental level
and the two of them seemed to revolve around one another at all times even when
separated. The blonde had always accepted Sasuke, always, and to think that
there was something that could potentially cause a rift between them bad enough
that it could knock them out of orbit made Sasuke feel cold inside. The
knowledge of Naruto�s stance on homosexuality made the world dim into shades of
grey, the color slowly leaching away to nothing until the Uchiha felt empty and
hollow.
�� Something large settled lightly on his head and tousled
his hair, disturbing and flattening Sasuke�s natural spikes.
�� Did you hear me?� Naruto demanded, annoyed as he pushed his
index finger down with more force, making the brunet�s neck and shoulders ache.
�� Pushing the large digit off irritably, Sasuke forced
himself to scowl deeply up at the blonde even though his heart wasn�t in it. He
couldn�t afford to show how affected he was, not if he wanted to preserve their
relationship as it was. Naruto wasn�t stupid and, if Sasuke wasn�t careful, the
blonde would eventually put two and two together. At the very least Naruto
would know that the Uchiha preferred men sexually and it wouldn�t be too far a
logic leap to realize that Sasuke had feelings for him that ran deeper than
normal friendship. To prevent that from happening, it was imperative that Sasuke
act normal.
�� No,� The Uchiha said, tone portraying utter boredom as
he idly studied the buttons on the TV remote between them. �I have a natural
ability to tune out stupidity.�
�� Teme!� The blonde hissed, blue eyes narrowing to slits
as he poked Sasuke in the back of the head roughly, unknowingly making stars
explode across the Uchiha�s field of vision. �This is important! Whatever that
snake bastard did is really weird! I�m sitting right next to you and I can
barely sense you at all!�
�� That got the
brunet�s attention. �Really? You can�t sense me at all?�
�� Naruto nodded, folding his arms over his chest and
nodding sharply as his brow furrowed deeply. �I can smell you and hear your
heart beating but that�s only because my senses are better than most. Unless
she picked you up, I doubt even Sakura would be able to tell the difference between
you and a doll... Hey, wait a sec.�
�� The blonde practically launched himself off the couch and
disappeared down the hall into his room. Curious, Sasuke stood and walked over
to the remote, stepping on the power button to silence the television while he listened
intently to the faint rummaging coming from his friend�s bedroom. Several
seconds ticked by until a triumphant yell echoed off the apartment�s walls and
Naruto returned, bounding down the hall into the living room.
�� Here! Put this on.� The blonde said excitedly, holding
his large fist above Sasuke and dumped the contents of his hand onto the tiny
ninja, practically bouncing in front of the couch as he waited for his small
friend to reappear.
�� Dobe!� The brunet shouted angrily, struggling out from
under the clothes Naruto had dropped on him, one hand holding something hard
and smooth, the other rubbing the spot on his head where the object had hit
him.�
�� Sorry, sorry! Forgot about the mask!� Naruto said, one
hand rubbing the back of his head in apology, his other still occupied in a
fist.
�� Sasuke blinked and finally looked at what had been
unceremoniously heaped on him, dark eyebrows lifting slightly as he took in the
ANBU like uniform and the painted fox mask that came with it, both in his size.
�� I�m not changing.� The Uchiha said, tossing the uniform
away carelessly, ignoring Naruto�s noises of protest. He did keep the mask
though and, with a quiet sigh, Sasuke placed it over his face, tying the cord
behind his head to keep it in place. Hands on his hips, the brunet looked up at
the blonde through the eyeholes of the mask. �Happy?�
�� Grinning widely, Naruto nodded and bent over the Uchiha,
setting something lightly on the couch cushion beside Sasuke before stepping
back, folding his arms over his chest as his expression became critical.
Frowning behind his mask, the brunet turned to look at the object, appalled as
he took in the miniature ANBU figure complete with a wolf animal mask.
�� What the hell, dobe?� He shouted, ripping his mask off
and letting it dangle from his hand, the cord cutting into his palm as he
clutched it tightly. Barring the difference in masks, if he had actually put
the outfit on, Sasuke and the doll would have looked like twins they were so
similar in size. It was creepy- the doll even had dark hair.
�� Naruto abruptly dropped down to the floor, balancing his
weight on the balls of his feet as he looked back and forth between Sasuke and
the doll from only inches away, eyebrows knitting together in concentration. He
was also pouting, his lower lip jutting forward in an infuriatingly inviting
way and Sasuke had to curl his hands into fists to control the temptation of
reaching out and touching the soft skin.
�� Meet your stand in.� The blonde said, expression
becoming serious. �I figured that someone would ask me about suddenly buying
all that stuff. It�s too odd, even for me, for it to go completely unnoticed, and
if someone we knew didn�t actually see me, then they�d hear about it from the
shop keepers at some point.�
�� He�s camouflage.� The Uchiha said, immediately seeing
where the jinchuuriki�s logic went. Of course Naruto�s shopping spree would
draw attention and someone was bound to show up and ask questions, forcing the
blonde to produce some sort of evidence about his sudden interest in dolls. He
couldn�t just hand Sasuke over and hope no one noticed that the �doll� was
warm, breathing, and had a heart beat. The Uchiha was still a traitor to Konoha
and there was the small matter of his punishment to be discussed should he be
discovered, not to mention what may happen to Naruto considering the blonde was
willingly harboring a fugitive. It was brilliant but there were still a few
holes in Naruto�s idea�
�� Not just him- I bought a few more.� Naruto scratched the
back of his neck, grinning that stupid idiot grin, and Sasuke felt his heart
swell with warmth, again the urge to touch the blonde gripping him. �It would
be odd to just have two boy dolls,
after all.�
�� That�s right.
He had momentarily forgotten Naruto�s previous meltdown and the reason behind
it. The blonde would never be Sasuke�s, never his to hold or to kiss or to
love. The brunet slipped the fox mask back over his head, distracting himself
as he settled the painted plastic into place, hiding behind it. His face felt
too warm, his eyes too hot, and for the sake of normalcy he couldn�t afford to
let anything other than arrogance show. Since his usual smirk wasn�t as
forthcoming as it should have been, the faux ANBU mask would have to do and he
turned to his plastic double, pretending to look the other over critically.
�� He�d become such a coward over the last two weeks.
�� It�s only temporary, Teme.� Naruto said suddenly and
Sasuke felt his body tense up before he could prevent it. �If the jutsu doesn�t
run out on its own, I�ll figure out a way to get you back to normal. I won�t
give up, even if it takes until I�m Hokage. I will fix what Orochimaru did to
you, Sasuke.�
�� It better not take you that long.� The Uchiha snorted,
rolling his eyes, but behind the mask he smiled and if it was bittersweet, he
was the only one who knew. A promise from Naruto was a promise Sasuke knew he
could bank on but the idea that he would be stuck like this for much longer was
as equally repugnant as time alone with the blonde was appealing.
�� You know, I�m due for a vacation myself.� Naruto mused
suddenly, scratching absently at his cheek. He grinned and the sight made
warmth settle in Sasuke�s middle. �We could go somewhere and hang out like we
used to!�
�� Technically, they had never really �hung out� in any normal
sense of the phrase but time spent with Naruto was to be treasured, not
quibbled over, and Sasuke felt himself nod before he was consciously aware of
doing it. A vacation with the blonde sounded wonderful and should the jutsu end
or if Naruto did manage to fulfill his promise early it would be easier to hide
among tourists than it would be to hide among fellow ninja. Besides, maybe
Sasuke could change Naruto�s opinion about homosexuality�
�� A knock on the door disrupted that thought and before the
brunet could look in the appropriate direction, Naruto had wrapped his hand
around Sasuke and was throwing the diminutive ninja under the couch. Rolling
with the momentum prevented him from receiving serious injury but as he stood angrily,
Sasuke knew he�d have bruises later and wondered what the hell the dobe had
been thinking. Naruto�s previous warning about Sasuke�s new size making the
Uchiha more fragile rang inside the brunet�s head, finally sinking in as he
realized that another careless throw like that and he wouldn�t escape without a
broken limb or two. Rotating his shoulders, the brunet stalked through the dark
landscape, and ran smack into the side of an empty instant ramen container.
�� Gods, dobe, when
was the last time you cleaned?! It was disgusting under the couch and
Sasuke quickly came to the conclusion that no mop or vacuum had ever been under
here. He took a moment to resettle his mask in place, deciding that it would be
best to keep the added protection as place as he resumed walking. Stale bits of
cereal, cellophane wrappers, another ramen container, a kunai� It was a
veritable dump! What proved quickly to be the biggest hazards however were not
the thumb tacks, paper clips, or food paraphernalia but the mounds of
congregated lint and hair that the Uchiha constantly encountered. There were
dust bunnies the size of cows under the couch, the sticky, cottony texture
taking the Uchiha by surprise as he walked into one that seemed to simply materialize
in his path. It was so dark, more so than Sasuke would have thought possible
given that light actually was present in the form of a thin beam near the floor.
Unfortunately, whatever dissipated light did manage to make it under the couch
was rendered useless by the debris that he kept encountering. Using his eyes
was pointless down here and so Sasuke used his feet to guide him, following the
vibrations made by Naruto�s footsteps as the blonde walked around to answer the
door.��
�� Oh, hi Sakura. Hi, Hinata.� The blonde�s voice was muffled
but the shrunken ninja could still hear it. Though Naruto�s tone wasn�t
aggressive, there was a noticeable edge to it and his greeting was considerably
less than enthused. �What are you��
�� What are you��
what? In his haste to get back to the blonde, Sasuke absently pushed another
sticky furry menace from his path only to pull his hand up short before
actually touching it. Immediately he leapt backward, taking up a fighting
stance as the �dust bunny� turned around, its whiskers twitching curiously as
it stretched its nose out and sniffed at the brunet, a long scaly tail curving
around its feet. Beady black eyes seemed to sparkle menacingly even in the dimness
as the animal crept forward on silent paws, stalking the Uchiha as Sasuke
backed up.
�� He tried to remember how many steps separated him from a
weapon as he continued to try and put distance between himself and the animal. Sasuke
had forgotten how unbelievably na�ve Naruto could be and inwardly he cursed the
blond as the beast aligned itself to attack.
Ami
had not solved Naruto�s rat problem.��
