AN: Hello readers Ignis here once again. So; here is the final chapter of Part Two of this series, however it is not the end of the story, as Part Three is coming soon to finish things off. So enjoy the chapter, and we hope to see you in Part Three: 'Five Jinchuuriki go on a Road Trip. Shenanigans Ensue'.

"Lady Hokage, there is something important you need to know," says Iruka, approaching Tsunade with Hayate in tow.

"What is it, Punk?" asks Tsunade. "I'm trying to sort out who gets promoted to chunin!"

"The computer is alive!" blurts out Hayate.

"What?" Tsunade looks up from her paperwork in surprise.

"Not quite," says Iruka. "Someone put an Artificial Intelligence program into its hard drive."

"How did we not know this sooner?" asks Tsunade. "Before today, the computer showed no signs of abnormal behaviour, or any behaviour for that matter."

"The Artificial Intelligence software was set to awaken 24 hours after the code phrase 'The Mad King' was entered into the memory banks of its randomization system," explains Iruka. "There is no way to shut down the Artificial Intelligence software now that it has started. Hayate entered the phrase 'The Mad King' into the computer's memory banks while trying to steal my thunder."

Tsunade bangs her head against her desk. When she is finished, she asks, "is there anything else?"

Iruka considers this question then says, "I'll be heading back to the Mist tomorrow morning."

"Aside from that?"

"No, not really, except that I had better make sure the toads give you back Jiraiya before I leave," muses Iruka, and leaves, dragging Hayate behind him.

Tsunade opens the drawer she keeps her bottles of sake in.

Tsunade calls the Hidden Leaf genins who took part in the final stage of the exams into her office. The line up according to their teams, with their Jounin senseis standing behind them.

"Alright, you lot, let's get this over with," drawls out Tsunade, she has about 1 1/2 bottles of sake in her system thanks to a certain sentient computer. "I'll go by team. If I call your name you're a chunin, okay?"

The kids nod their agreement.

Tsunade begins: "From Team Three: Rock Lee, Neji Hyuuga and Tenten are all chunin now. Team Seven: Sai, Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno are all chunin. Team Eight: Hinata Hyuuga and Shino Aburame are chunin now." Tsunade points at Kiba. "You got owned. Try again some other time."

"Yeah," says Naruto, slyly. "Maybe next time you won't end up fighting an Uzumaki."

The other kids laugh.

"Tough luck, Kiba," says Hinata, sympathetically.

The promoted ninjas are given their official 'You Are A Chunin Now' documents and their fancy new chunin jackets.

"Do they come in orange?" asks Naruto as he slips his on over his jacket.

"NO!" snaps Tsunade. "Now get out of my office! I have important Hokage stuff to do."

"Granny," says Naruto patiently. "We all know this is the only Hokage stuff you're gonna do all day."

A messenger bird flies in the window and lands on Neji's shoulder.

"That bird has been flying between you and someone since the Second Phase," comments Hinata. "Who is it from?"

Neji blushes.

"NEJI'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND!" taunts Naruto.

"She's just a friend!" insists Neji, blushing further. "We're pen-pals, that's all!"

Hinata pinches the message off the bird and opens it. Neji snatches it off HInata. "You don't get to see it before I do!" he says, stuffing the letter into his new chunin vest's inside pocket.

"Did you see who it's from?" asks Sakura, all hopeful and excited.

"It's from Fu," says Hinata, a look of wonder on her face. "Neji's been exchanging love-letters with Fu!"

"THEY AREN'T LOVE LETTERS!" insists Neji. "They're just letters, okay?"

"Fu and Neji in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!" sings Naruto, tauntingly. "First comes LOVE, then comes MARRIAGE, then comes a baby in a GOLDEN carriage!"

"NARUTO!" Neji is very red now. "She's not my girlfriend!"

"You wish she was!" counters Naruto.

Neji falls silent. And blushes even redder than Hinata is known to get. It must run in the family.

Everyone stares at Neji, open-mouthed.

"You DO like her," says Shino.

"Neji has a crush on Fu?" says Lee, sounding confused. "But Fu is so loud!"

"I like her, okay!" says Neji. "Are you happy now? I admitted it!" he runs from the room, the messenger bird following him.

"Must be a Hyuuga thing," remarks Kakashi. "Hinata and Neji both falling for rambunctious jinchuurikis is too much of a coincidence to be anything but a family thing."

"WILL YOU LOT HURRY UP AND GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!" hollars Tsunade, waving her half empty bottle of sake at her idiotic ninjas.

The assembled ninjas file out of Tsunade's office. She is starting to understand why Sarutobi sensei didn't just quit, but went as far as to go on a very long holiday.

As the last of the ninjas in her office leave, Tsunade hears Hinata say, "Just wait until my Dad hears about Neji's crush!"
