Toki didn't know whether to laugh or to curse the blond for being so... so... him while they were in the middle of a crises situation with the fate of her country and her own vengeance on the line.
"Only you, Naruto," she sighed, before smiling a bit. Toki wasn't sure why, but there was no way she could stay mad at him for this. Maybe it had something to do with him saving her?
"Don't think you can just ignore me!" Hoki suddenly made himself known again. Going through a series of handseals before ending on the tiger seal. "Katon: Gōkyakū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Fire Ball Jutsu)!"
Opening his mouth, Hoki released a fire ball from within the depths of his throat and sent it straight towards Naruto.
Naruto? Well, he snorted. Was this guy serious? That fireball was pathetic! Sasuke's was at least five times larger then this guys.
Making a decision on what to do, Naruto reached into his kunai pouch and whipped out a scroll. Unrolling it in mid air revealed a complex sealing array, a complex series of kanji running down the scroll in several rows length wise while a circle of kanji with arrows pointing towards the center was in the middle.
Placing the scroll on the ground, Naruto ran through a small gauntlet of handseals, then slammed his hands on either side of the scroll.
"Fūka Hōin (Sealing Art: Fire Sealing Method)!"
The fireball that had been traveling towards him far more slowly than most fireball jutsu would if they were launched from someone more competent began to stretch. It's body elongated and moved towards the scroll, where it soon became sucked into the paper. As the flames disappeared within the seal, the red kanji for fire appeared within the circle while blue vapor from excess chakra rose from the parchment.
"Fūinjutsu?" Hoki looked surprised to see that someone like Naruto knew the art of sealing. Well, it was an incredibly complex art requiring knowledge of complicated sealing formulas. "I had not realized I was dealing with an adept at sealing. Still, this changes nothing! Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Jutsu)!"
Naruto blinked several times as two very large and very realistic looking dragons with scaly green skin and glowing yellow eyes appeared before him. The dragons roared as they glared down at him and Toki like the two were their next meal.
There was only one problem...
"Ugh... are you serious," Naruto complained as he looked from the dragons to Hoki. "You didn't use anywhere near enough chakra to summon something like that." He then blinked. "And as far as I know there is no such thing as a dragon summoning contract. If there was, it would be pretty damn famous."
"Think whatever you like! Finish him my pets!"
"Yep," Naruto nodded sagely. "Definitely not real. No summon would allow themselves to be called a pet." He thought about his own summons, the toads, and how damn mouthy they were. Boss Gama was particular belligerent. It was probably why they got along so well. And Manda was just as bad with his 'I demand human sacrifices before I would ever fight for you' spiel that he had going on.
Even Katsuya, the most mild mannered boss summon he knew demanded respect.
There was just no way these summons could be real. Which meant...
Spinning about on his heal, Naruto lashed out with a wind blade at a small light that he could see hiding on a tree. The blade flew true, slicing into the holographic projector like a hot knife through butter, or a wind jutsu through paper. The mechanical devise didn't stand a chance.
With the destruction of the holographic projector, Hoki seemed to realize he was outclassed. He grit his teeth, trying to find a way out, but when one did not present itself, it became obvious he would have to take things into his own hands.
Putting a hand to his mouth, a whistle escaped from Hoki, signaling the several ninja that had been hiding out in case things got rough. He had not thought he would have to use them, but now that he was Hoki was glad he had the foresight to position them around his residence.
No one came.
"What the –?"
"I hope you weren't expecting those ninja you had hiding around to come to your rescue," Naruto said, smirking that damnable smirk.
Hoki realized what was happening before it happened.
One by one several clones of the blond came out of the wood works, each one carrying one of his men under them like a sack of potatoes.
"You didn't honestly think I would leave things to chance, did you?" Naruto may not be the brightest shinobi around, and he may act like an idiot half the time, but he wasn't stupid. When the time came to lay down the gauntlet and plan out his moves, the blond Uzumaki could make strategies with the best of them.
He wouldn't be so damn good at pranking if he wasn't.
"You!" Hoki glared at the blond with insanity and hatred in his eyes. "You damn brat! You've ruinned everything!"
"Oops, my bad," Naruto scratched the back of his head and grinned. "Sorry about that. I hope you don't have any hard feelings or anything. I'm just doing my job."
