-1Big Surprise's Come in Surprisingly Small Packages

Summary:The Yondaime Hokage was complaining about life getting little dull when his one time students Obito, Kakashi and Rin find something that turns his life upside down. A little blond something called Naruto.

Authors notes: Obviously none of Kakashi's team died in this fic and he doesn't have the Sharingan. He is however very good at his job without it any way.

Chapter 2: Chibi...

In another part of town a certain black haired man grumbled in his sleep and reached out a hand to slam the small buzzing alarm clock across the room without even waking up. He blinked woozily as he straightened in his bed and looked at the broken clock with a look of annoyance in his black eyes.

Rubbing a hand over his face, the man got out of bed and ambled to the small kitchen in his apartment, yawning while scratching absently at his flat stomach. He opened the fridge to pull out the milk. That done he pulled out a bowl and a packet of Corn Crunchy Flakes and proceeded to eat, waking up with each mouthful.

It was when he was almost done with the bowl that he noticed the time on the clock hanging on the wall near the spot he was blankly staring at. Shit! It was already 11pm!

Dumping the bowl into the sink Uchiha Obito scrambled into his bedroom. Hopefully he would be able to make it to the ramen stand without his team-mates leaving.

He paused thoughtfully as he arranged his orange goggles on top of his head and tried to think up an excuse that he hadn't used before…

"Well you see there was this little old lady…" he said out loud, testing the story as he made his way outside.

In the orphanage just a few blocks away a woman screamed in frustration at the little blond blur that she was trying to catch and twitched her hands as she missed him again.

"Get back here you little brat!"

"NO! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!" The boy yelled back at her, his face red from the effort it had taken to escape before bath time. He stuck his tongue out and ran down the street and away from the she-demon as she tried to catch him again.

The woman gave up after chasing him down the block, she would just get the little brat and tie him up when he got back. The little blond angelic looking demon laughed evilly as she stomped away, stepping out of the bush he had been hiding behind.

Uchiha Obito stood frozen from where he had just come around the corner and stared at the tiny child, eyes wide in surprise and mouth almost hanging to the floor. Did he just see what he thought he just saw?

"You won't believe what I just saw!"

Kakashi and Rin looked up from their conversation to look at a distinctly dishevelled looking Obito as he came skidding into the ramen stand. They shared a look between each other, okay either Obito had come up with a new way to make up a new excuse or he really had seen something. The last time Obito had come skidding to them like this was to inform them about their sensei's supposed 'girlfriend' whom they had later found out was actually his wife.

"I saw sensei using Henge to turn himself into a little kid!"

Kakashi and Rin sighed as they slapped their money into the palm of the man behind the bar, he had started to join in their bets about a year ago. His bet had been that Obito would come up with something to do with their sensei.

"Hai, hai Obito and I just got adopted into the Hyuuga…" Rin muttered as she got up from her seat.

Obito faltered and stared at her in surprise. "What really?"

Kakashi, who had been walking by him, sighed and reached into his pocket to pull out his book. Even after all these years Obito still managed to prove he was an idiot. The silver haired Jounin ducked as Obito was sent flying past into the fence from the force of Rin's punch and moved to help his friend up.

"Really Obito, you're a Jounin now, can't you stop making up these stupid excuses?" Rin lectured, adjusting the fit of the fingerless gloves she was wearing.

The black haired Jounin rose out of the wreckage of the fence with a look on his face they hadn't seen since they were still Genin.

"Just follow me and I'll show you who's making up excuses!" he hopped up onto a roof and waited for them to follow. Kakashi sighed and put his book away again, if he didn't follow the idiot now he'd never hear the end of it later…

Rin looked up at him from the street and gave her own sigh, well she really didn't have anything better to do right now and given the look on her dark haired team-mates face he must have found something interesting.

"Oh alright" she muttered and hopped up after him with Kakashi coming up right behind them

"If that's Arashi sensei, i'm a cat…"

"Are you completely sure? Ive used the sharingan but he might have found a way to block it…"

"Oh my god he's so cute!"

"Hey are you two even listening to me?"

They had come upon the little blond just a few minutes of looking around, Kakashi's eyes had widened before turning back into their previous lidded gaze but the little orange book had made its way back into the weapons pouch at his hip, Rin had gone very still before starting to squeel at the sight.

Fluffy blond hair swung in every direction, bright big blue eyes stared innocently at passers by, the chibi Yondaime would have any female squeeling at the cuteness literally oozing of the kid and three whisker marks streached across each chubby cheek. Oh yes the kid they were looking at was cute…he was a tiny little thing, huge orange tshirt hanging off one tanned shoulder and baggy orange shorts reaching way past his knees making the kid look even tinyer than he probably was. his whole being suggested 'take me home, feed me and cuddle me to death!'

The kid moved away from under the tree he had been sitting under giving them a good look at the head of blond hair that almost seemed to glow in the afternoon sunlight. And that little grin! It was the mirror image of the lopsided grin they always got from the man who used to be their Sensei, making the other Jounin that had followed their teammate blink.

"looks like him…" Rin murmered, peeking from over the top of a building.

They watched as the little boy went scampering down the street and followed the little blond blurr as it winked its way down the street.

"Moves like him…" Obito frowned as they followed the boy, barely managing to keep up with the mini yellow flash.

They followed the kid around for nearly an hour, observing the way the kid acted and interacted with the general public. They were just starting to get a little bored when the boy steered himself into the shop they had met up. Ichiraku Ramen.

The kid pulled himself up onto one of the tall stools, and charmed his way into getting another serving of ramen for free after paying for the first one.

"…eats like him." Kakashi muttered, staring intently at the boy as he devoured his second bowl.

They looked at each other and came to a decion.

Time to check the Hokage tower.

Kazuma Arashi, Konoha's yellow flash and Yondaime Hokage lifted his head blearily from where it had fallen on the desk and hastily straightened up as a knock on the door announced a visitor, he pulled a sheet of paper to him just at the same time the door opened and tried to look like he hadn't just spent the last four hours taking a cat nap.

He didn't realize that he had ink all over one cheek where it had been pressed up against a report or that his eyes were still a little glazed looking from his nap…

He brightened as his one time students and up and coming Jounin walked into the room and let loose a lop sided grin, greeting them the way he always had only to meet silence and the suspicious looks in a pair of brown eyes, a pair of black eyes and one reddish brown eye.

"What did you want to talk to me about kids? If you can't see i'm very busy!" he exclaimed as he grabbed the Hokage's seal and stamped three documents, blinking down at one of the documents on his desk. "Heh whoops, wrong one…" he pulled out his pencil and scribbled all over the red ink at the same time trying to figure out if they had figured out he'd been sleeping the wole day away.

Holding the paper up to the light to check his handy work Konoha's yellow flash caught the look they were giving him and sheepishly scratched the back of his head.

"It was just a little nap, couldn't have been for more than half an hour…why are you still giving me that look?" he asked as the expressions didn't change like they usually would have done if all they had done was catch him asleep.

Obito narrowed his eyes at the blond behind the desk leaned forward, making him lean back as the face came within an inch of his own. Rin had moved to the window and was examining the area around it and Kakashi was grilling the two Chuunin guards at the door about whether or not the man had been in his office the whole day.

"Uh guys? What are you doing?"

Obito had leaned away again and turned to the others.

"He's not a Kage Bunshin…"

The question mark was almost visible to the three of the Jounin as they turned back to the very curious Hokage. He had pushed his papers away and was now giving them the same look they had been giving him.

"Okay guys… what is it this time?"

Chapter end.

Don't tell me to update because believe me I don't have the patience for it this week.

Yes I will hurry up so don't say that either.

And don't bother checking updates for this fic for at least a month because I'm going crazy getting things done around here, the real world is driving me nuts! My hands keep reaching up to my head to rip out some hair and for some reason my hands are reaching for throats…
