"It's a demon!" Isuca bit out as she thrashed in her bonds, "I've been trying to make it give up by harassing it, but the damn demon just won't give up! Who the hell has that kind of determination as a kid?!"
"Naruto-kun does have a way with surprising people with how determined he is." Sarutobi chuckled darkly, "Now, are you working alone or are there cohorts that need to be rounded up?"
"I worked alone!" Isuca snarled.
"Lie." Anko remarked lazily as she backhanded the woman across the face, "Tell the truth or that will seem like a love tap."
"…a member of the Inuzuka Clan got me the dog crap from the waste bins, but he didn't know what it was for." the Haruno woman said shortly.
"Good. That means that the punishment falls squarely on you and the Haruno Clan." Sarutobi said, "That's...let's see now…five years of broken windows, once a week minimum, twice a week on occasion, not to mention several cases of improper disposal of waste. I'm afraid this goes beyond simple vandalism. I will discuss the matter with Naruto-kun and your Clan Head in order to determine the punishment suitable for…an ongoing regime of harassment. For now, you will be taken to a holding cell until such time as your punishment is determined."
The woman scowled at Sarutobi but said nothing.
"Anko, escort her to T&I's holding cells and make sure it's an isolated cell. We don't want people thinking that she's getting off with a slap on the wrists.2
"Gotcha, old man." Anko grinned as she looked down at Haruno Isuca, "She won't be going anywhere…"
Isuca had the feeling that the holding cell couldn't come fast enough.

Two Hours Later
With Naruto
Naruto was bored.
Seriously, he knew he had to raise his grades, but listening to Iruka-sensei drone on about the Ninja Code was very much yawn-worthy.
Staying awake had made his INT go up by two already though, so Naruto, utilising his stubborn willpower, had forced himself to pay attention to the lecture, even although he thought that the Ninja Code was impossible to apply word-for-word in the real world.
He had read books (a fact that had shocked Iruka when he had found out about it) and pinpointed areas where famous historical Shinobi from Konoha had basically ignored the Code completely. Iruka had looked at him oddly when Naruto had pointed these people out before telling him that while, in those instances they had broken the rules, overall they had abided by them, so he still had to learn the rules well, if not by heart.
That hadn't exactly been the point, but Naruto understood that he had to learn them well enough to pass the thrice-accursed written exam for Graduation. Afterwards…meh. Rules were a guideline only in Naruto's opinion.
At length, the bell for lunchtime rang and Naruto quickly found an area of the training yard that was unoccupied, under one of the windows. He had been too spooked by the random attack to review his new skills yesterday, so he quickly called them up.
[Stealth] (Passive/Active) [LV 65, EXP 56.98]
A key skill of any Shinobi, this skill allows you to remain undetected by sight, sound and scent. At higher levels, it allows you to become one with the shadows, making you nigh undetectable to anyone who isn't a Chakra Sensor.
-Passively raises Chance to avoid detection by sound by 39%.
-Passively raises chance to avoid detection by scent by 39%.
-Actively raises chance to avoid detection by sight by 39%.
-While active, movement speed reduced by 50%, 20 CP/minute to use.
[Traps] (Passive) [LV 60, EXP 54.21]
When pursued, laying a trap can be the difference between life or death for you and your team. The higher the level, the more varied traps you can make, as well as the faster you can build them.
-Passively adds 30% to Success Ratio of Trap Making.
-Passively adds +30% to Trap Building Speed.
-Allows the construction of Pranking Traps, Hunting Traps, Basic Snares, and Bladed Traps (Requires materials to build. See Trap Recipes for details).
Naruto had reviewed the recipes and the first intermediate Bladed Trap he saw made him shiver to think about inflicting it on someone. Some things were just not done. Especially to men.
[Bloodthirst Detected!]
Above you!
Naruto rolled to one side as soon as he saw the message, just in time to avoid a vase full of flowers that had fallen from the window above him. Mizuki had a surprised expression on his face as he saw that Naruto had avoided being brained by the vase.
'Lick of the devil!' the man snarled in his mind as he stalked off.
[Detect Bloodthirst] has levelled up!
"Yeah…great." Naruto muttered. Now he was going to have to make sure he was careful around windows, door, stairs and the like just in case Mizuki was lurking around them.
On the bright side, his Skills had saved him a headache from getting clonked on the head by the vase.
"NARUTO!" Iruka shouted, his head swelling up as he instinctively used the Big-Head Jutsu as he stalked across the Training Field, "PICK UP THOSE FLOWERS!"
"Mizuki-sensei was the one who knocked them over, not me!" Naruto defended himself.
On the downside, he was still getting blamed for things that weren't his fault. Great.
