Jiraiya entered into a dark alley. Jiro activated his sharingan and he could spot the chakra of Orochimaru as well as Jiraiya. It seems that Orochimaru was also part of whatever was happening. Now thoroughly hooked, Jiro continued to stalk them while concealing his presence completely curious as to what they were going to do. Jiraiya and Orochimaru met Tsunade who was waiting for them inside a gambling shop. Jiro waited a couple minutes before entering with a henge that showed a plain faced, brown haired man with dark green clothing.

Jiro sat with his back facing the senpais. He ordered a juice while waiting to hear what they would talk about. He casually brought up a shuriken and placed several onto his table so that he would be able to read the lips of Jiraiya and the rest of his company. Jiro also made sure to activate a Genjutsu that would hide the shurikens after marking them with his chakra. While sipping his juice, he quickly figured out what they were talking about.

"Sensei is for sure going to make us join Jiro in taking D-ranks which is terrible for all of us. We have been taking at least C-Ranks for over a year now and I really don't want to deal with the demon cat again. Sensei is going to be lenient on us because we already did several so let's just send some shadow clones in our place."

"I think that the demon cat mission while terrible was important because it let us meet our cute kouhai."

"Lets just go already."

Jiro also agreed with what they had planned. He would rather spend time researching more on Fuinjutsu than to go on a boring D-Rank. He went back home after forming a shadow clone to go in his place.

Sarutobi looked up with a grin on his face. He was currently leaning against a tree while his students were picking weeds from a yard. Now that Jiro joined the group, Jiro could work on the D-Ranks along with his students while he got to relax. Sarutobi was planning on introducing summoning to Jiro soon, but he soon forgot in the upcoming commotion.

Jiro looked up from picking weeds. He had been doing this for over twenty minutes now and not having anything interesting happen was starting to get to him. Suddenly he gained a good idea, if there was nothing interesting happening, he would create it. Whatever he was thinking must have showed on his face because the clones looked away from him with mild terror in their eyes. Jiro saw the stone in front of him and continued to plot on how to expose his senpais while taking minimum collateral damage from their sensei.

"Hey senpais, let's play a game of catch with this pebble."

A positive reply from Jiraiya sent a wicked gleam into the eye of Jiro. Jiro then threw the stone with lots of force towards Jiraiya's foot. Jiraiya quickly dodged while jumping up like a scared rabbit. His eyes were slightly distressed and he quickly verbally chewed Jiro out.

"Jiro, that was very dangerous and could have been dangerous for our client. You should be ashamed of yourself."

Jiro simply smiled and said:

"No need to be nervous senpai, I understand. You are most definitely not a clone that was formed to avoid this mission right?"

Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru froze in unison. Jiraiya was exposed by Jiro, and if he was exposed that meant they were all exposed. Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru got into a three way scuffle trying to cause one of the others to pop so that they could prove them self innocent. In the end all three clones ended up popping leaving just Jiro and Sarutobi. Sarutobi looked at his client in shock and embarra.s.sment. The client also looked unsure and awkward on what to do.

"I apologize for the behavior of my students. You will be paid compensation."

It was left up to Jiro and Sarutobi to clean up the mess. After cleaning up the weeds and the mess, Sarutobi looked closer at his apprentice then frowned.

"You are also a clone."

Jiro smiled in response and poofed away after revealing that he had followed the plan of Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru.

Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya were meeting up at the gambling place from earlier with panic on their face. The information of their clone had just gone back to them and they quickly met up here. Jiro had exposed them in front of the client and sensei. Reflecting back, they should have just denied it and not poof away, but hindsight is always accurate.

Jiraiya put his hands down and declraed that they should wage war on their kouhai. Orochimaru disagreed as his pride would not let him team up on his kouhai. Tsunade was in slight shock that her cute kouhai would turn out to be so uncute and mean. While the team of three were planning on how to escape the coming punishment, they were unaware that their location had already been leaked to the Hokage, courtesy of the anbu.

Orochimaru suddenly started to run for the door, but it was too late. A giant monkey was in the way and grabbed Orochimaru by the neck before dragging him back to the door. Sarutobi entered the bar with his eyes blazing.

"Not only did you disappear on the client, you also revealed your plan to your kouhai! I am so angry at you all that you will have to accompany Jiro for the several D-Ranks he has to accomplish without shadow clones. Before moving onto C-Ranks, you will not be allowed to use a shadow clone or any other clone to avoid the manual labor."

The three quickly melted onto the floor in the face of their punishment as well as their irate sensei. While he was raging at them, Sarutobi thought he heard piano noise so he paused. When he stopped, he suddenly noticed that the lights were s.h.i.+ning on him from a group of anbu. He also saw that there was one anbu playing the piano in the corner with the dramatic tones expected from a drama. Sarutobi was so mad that he quickly dismissed his students so that he could scold his anbu.
