The Red Tiger Flash, A Dark Past Revealed

Chapter 81: Spoopy Special! Pt. 1

"I'm sorry, could you repeat that, Lord Hokage?" Sakura said as Hana was already rolling on the ground, Naruto laughing like a hyena.

"I said, Obito, Rin, Rose, and Kakashi have been errr...shrunk?" Minato questioned as Rose crossed her arms.

"This does not make any logical sense." Rose suddenly said, her voice blank and flat as her eyes widened in surprise.

"It seems that not just your appearances have gone back to their 12 year old selves, but your personalities have as well." Minato said as Naruto helped Hana off the floor.

Kanto smacked his forehead, shaking his head as he groaned. "What a disaster."

Obito frowned as he brought his hand up, measuring his height above Rose's head as he smiled widely. "I'm still taller than Rose! Haha!"

Rose's cheeks turned a bright pink as Kakashi smirked.

"Aww, Rosie's flustered by goggle boy." Kakashi snickered as Rose stomped on his foot, earning a shriek of pain from the silver haired boy.

"Rose!" Rin exclaimed as Rose shrugged.

"He was annoying me."

Minato and Kanto both groaned as the four started to argue, Hana propping her hands behind her head.

"This should be fun." Hana mumbled as Kanto raised an eyebrow at her.

"Hana, you're spending Halloween here, right? Not with that...that..." Kanto couldn't even say the name as Minato chuckled.

"He means Gaara. Kushina was planning a party, remember?" Minato said.

Hana smiled widely, fixing her goggles on her face as she laughed. "Yeah! Don't worry, dad.."

Just as Kanto breathed a sigh of relief, as Hana continued.

"Gaara's coming to the leaf this time."

"WHAT?!"

"Hey, Hana, I think your dad's mad..." Obito whispered as he fixed his own orange goggles.

"You sure?" Hana whispered back as she watched her dad slam the door to the hokages office behind him.

Minato looked back at Hana, sighing as he shook his head.

"So how long are we going to be like this?" Kakashi questioned as Obito and Rin held back a growling Rose.

"Well, this came out of nowhere, so we'll just have to see. In the mean time I'll assign you a jonin to watch over you four." Minato said as the four kids gasped.

"We don't need a chaperone!! I'm going to be hokage soon, I don't need to be babysat!" Obito whined.

"We're all jonin, we don't need protecting." Kakashi mumbled as Minato smiled.

"But your body's are back to their 12 year old selves, you're much more vulnerable in this stage." Minato said as he shifted through papers, only for his grin to turn into a nervous smile.

"Well err, the only jonin available at the moment is...Hanabusa Uzumaki-"

"Fucking kill me already." Rose groaned, only to get smacked in the head.

"Watch your mouth young lady!" Hana scolded as her eyes glittered slightly. 'I've waited for that moment for 17 long years!!'

Rose's eyes went dark, as Obito yelped.

"Oh no Hana!! You made Rosie mad! Run!!" Obito yelled as Hana sweat dropped.

In a flash, both Hana and Rose vanished, as Minato stood up.
