Musings of the Future Rokudaime by Dreamyin

A small figure slips into one of the older rooms that his parents often forget about, softly snickering under his breath as he hears the curses of his 'babysitter victims'. Curious eyes widen as he suddenly realises which room he is in. It is one that is usually locked. As the small boy walks around the small room, he decides that a sturdy desk at the side is the only noticable thing present. Upon having a closer look, he notices a brown dull dusty booklet that lies abondoned in the corner of the desk. A pair of small hands slowly reach over and take the booklet. He blows the thick layer of dust away and coughs as a small cloud irritates his face.

It worked though, as the text on the booklet is now visible.

With a frown, the young boy reads the cover -

The Musings of the Future Rokudaime

- and curiously opens it...

Day 1 – 23.40

Dear Naruto-kun,

It has only been one day of your fourteen-days training period so far and you have already shown how… expressive you tend to be towards everyone. Seriously brat, you need to develop a bit more tact, so this little 'diary' booklet will be part of your training. Write in it. I bet you will just LOVE this. Whenever you are bored and especially if you feel like talking back to those old pies – don't even dare to tell them I called them that – write your thoughts down in this booklet.

Musings, theories, whatever… just put that tiny little brain to some good use.

Just make sure to write something – multiple sentences and take it seriously! – every day.

I will be checking.

I know that with you being the impatient hyperactive brat that you are – with the attention span of a teaspoon – that this may be difficult for you to stick to. However, seeing as I'm still in charge, I won't hesitate to cut off the Ramen supply to the tower if I find even one entry missing! I can't already imagine your expression reading this and I will hit you later for your insolent behavior later… or you might check behind you…

Heh. Did that hurt? Yes? Good.

Anyway brat, as Hokage-in-training it is very important to learn to express yourself properly. Try to be earnest about this whole project. Write about your feelings, your insecurities or simply about the things that happened today. I don't care, as long as you find a way to distract yourself or even to relax your mind sometimes – oh and I hope that your handwriting will improve. It's horrible and you know it.

Good luck brat. Any questions? Yes? Well, too bad, go figure it out yourself. Kami knows what we can expect from the future Rokudaime when you can't even handle this simple assignment.

Now get started!

A/N: Planning to update every few days seeing as the chapters are short (but will be longer than this). Next chapter probably even tomorrow. Any funny situations or suggestions can be submitted to my the 'idea box' via review or PM. ;) Thank you.
