Tugs the duck butt and then runs away.

Sticks his foot out as he runs away so he trips and falls.

No one touches the duck butt and gets away with it.

NO ONE.

"Maps are hard and I'm dumb." It was what all the other kids told him when he failed time and time again. The blond child cocked his head to the side. The wrinkle man said funny things. "I'm not looking for a head. I'm looking for a whole person! His name is Chouji and he's my friend!" He puffed out his chest, trying to look big and scary too.

"It seems that Hiruzen was entirely correct when he said you were a handful... But there's a difference between being stupid and simply being unaware of something." A scoff. "Those who freely use 'stupid' as an insult often don't even know what it means..."

Of course, a lack of explanation left his words hanging in the air and sounding rather vague, but Torifu didn't mean to say anything hurtful—only a murmured agreement with something a comrade had said and disdain toward overly-judgmental children.

"I know you're looking for a person, boy. While you're right that a head is a part of one's body, 'head' is also used to specify when someone is a... A leader, of sorts."

Leaving the thought there, for he wasn't quite eager to launch into an explanation about why words often had several meanings, he pressed on. "—If you're looking for Chouji, then you're also looking for Chouza. Chouza is the leader—or 'head'—of his entire family."

Oh, he wasn't good with children. There were many reasons why he had never taken a team of Genin under his wing, but a lack of social skills certainly played a part.

"Either way, he isn't here. ...Are you wanting me to take you there or something? After all, standing here and chattering gets neither of us anywhere."

The wrinkle man was mean. He wasn't fun like the floofy man. Naruto held up the crumpled piece of paper in his hand, showing him the crayon scribbles that Chouji had made for him. "I have a map 'ttebayo! Floofy man'll give me yummies and then ninja!" he explained in his own four year old way. What he meant to say was Chouza was making dinner and then he and Chouji planned to play ninja. But it wasn't a lie.

Taking the paper from the child's hand, he pressed it against the nearest wall and smoothed it out to make at least attempting to read it easier. Squinting at the scribbled marks and little drawings, it took him a moment to make sense of both them and the... 'explanation' Naruto gave.

"...Then why didn't you follow your map?"

His question was asked in a voice that, while not overly-kind, was noticeably less-irritable than before. Raising an eyebrow, he handed the paper back to its owner, one of his hands settling on his hip.

"Thought you'd go exploring? Or are you seriously lost? If you're looking for the clan head, his home is near the center of our land. You're a ways away from your correct path, you know..."

Tiny Naruto is so excited. His new friend said he could come over for dinner and they could play. But now he's gotten lost trying to find Chouji's house and come face to leg with a big, scary old man. He did not look nice like the old man Hokage was. "Wrinkles," was all he managed to say in his shock.

Well aware that his appearance wasn't exactly the most appealing or kindly sort, all the little comment earned the child was a snort of mild amusement.

"Yes, wrinkles. Happens when you're old, child. You'll have them too, given that you live long enough."

He paused, blinking a few times before shaking his head.

"...You're not supposed to be out here. You're on the borders of the Akimichi clan's compound. What possible reason do you have to be out here? And don't lie to me, boy; I don't like being lied to."

Such a tiny sneaky ninja. He's definitely gonna get past the guard man to steal baa-chan's seat. The little boy has thrown a blanket over himself the same color as the floor, sliding along with tufts of blond hair sticking out and little fingers holding into the edges.

What a silly child, thinking that he could so easily sneak past a trained shinobi by himself, and entirely undetected at that.

While he didn't dislike the child for any particular reason, he still couldn't let the boy freely do as he wished, and jabbed the edge of his bo down on the blanket.

As Naruto hadn't been paying attention and simply kept walking, the blanket soon enough slipped off, effectively blowing the child's cover.

"...What do you think you're doing?"

[xfenharel]

forever-genin replied to your post:Tiny Naruto is sitting on the strange old guy's lap and stealing his hat. He's gonna be Hokage now.

"Ramen for everyone." The little boy flailed around, giggling.

He makes a sour face.

"...How about mushroom soup instead?"
