"Paint the Hokage Monument?" Naruto asked quizzically. "Why the hell would I," he asked as he set down the bucket and the paintbrush, "do something so utterly mundane?"
With a smile, still standing on the head of the Shodai's carving, he looked at the ANBU across from him. The ANBU shuddered at the promise she could see in those blue eyes.
"Bye bye," Naruto declared with a grin. Then he added softly, "Boom."
The unseen marks he'd painted all over the Hokage Monument exploded into a crashing mix of rock and dust. Then his hand started flashing tbrough seals, before the ANBU woman could taker her first steps toward him. With a flash of white light and a puff of smoke, the boy was gone... and so was the monument he'd been standing on.
Sarutobi, still in his office, simply stared slack-jawed. He didn't even notice that his robes had caught fire until the flames reached a very sensitive area of his lap.
"DAMN! That's gonna leave a mark!"
Asuma, sitting across from him, was unable to contain his laughter as he idly wondered whether his father was talking about his lap or the missing monument. It didn't really matter, he was probably right in either case.
