The Grey Notebook

by naruto1fan2000

What if the Leaf and the Sand didn't sign the peace pact, after all? Chouji, Ino and Shikamaru are heading off to their train, but this time Asuma has a different plan for them. Each one of them is given a grey notebook for individual and regular write, like some kind of journal. What is Shikamaru's perspective about the war world?

One word: TROUBLESOME! That's what you are, exactly.

I keep asking myself WHY did Asuma gave us this task.

This is such a drag…

Anyway, I'm supposed to write what I feel or something, so… I'm bored. Here you go.

We haven't been on any missions lately. That's good. It means more time for cloud watching.

Problem: Chouji has been busy with something he explained while we watched the clouds the last time just the two of us… he should already know I wouldn't listen if I was watching the clouds.

Solution: ask Ino if she wants to come…

Result: she actually accepted. That's one thing I wasn't expecting… It feels the same to watch the clouds with Chouji or Ino, since both remain silent. That's good. I like silence.
