Completely oblivious to the changes he'd initiated in the Hokage, Naruto leapt from roof to roof, looking for his teacher. Chances were, he was off reading his book somewhere. There were several places Naruto could think that he might be. It was just a matter of checking them. With any luck, it would be just that easy.
Eventually, he descended to the street below and looked around for Kakashi. He didn't catch sight of him, however, as he turned his head, he did nearly bump into Sakura. He leaped back slightly, as they had almost been face to face.
In the process, the ladder fell from his pocket and clattered to the ground. Already blushing from the close contact, Naruto looked down at the ladder. He really didn't want Sakura seeing what was on there. It was weird and it would be rather embarrassing to have to explain it.
"S-Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelped, trying not to sound unsettled. "What are-" he bent down and quickly picked up the ladder and pocketed it again. "What are you doing here?" He laughed nervously, fiddling with the thing in his pocket, hoping she would question him about it.
However if he had looked at it, he would have noticed that the ladder now had a different name on it, with a whole new set of options...
