The scowls coming Ginta's way were growing now. Even Rei was giving him a disapproving look. For a moment Ginta went blank-faced as he processed the possibilities. Then he broke into a grin, laughing heartily. "OK, that's hilarious. You guys totally got me. Teach me to go on a long mission and leave you to your own devices. That was good, that line about the crotch sniffing. Very Inuzuka. So who are you really? That's a very good henge." He looked around to see who else was laughing. Who was in on the joke. Rei had to be.

Ginta's laughter died in his throat. "Uh, seriously. Guys?"
