When Konohamaru wakes up, he finds that he has been in a coma for a year and that the Leaf Village has been moved somewhere else. And now he has to redo his training as a Genin while living with Naruto, Kakashi, and Anko. And to make it all better, the Konohamaru Corps have been disbanded and he's stuck with a new team and sensei.

Autumn Falls
Chapter 3
Even though it was painful, I have to admit that Tsunade's physical therapy actually worked out nicely. After about two weeks, I was moving around like normal and was even able to use most of my techniques with ease. Tsunade cautioned me when it came to using Shadow clones since the strain of doing so would probably put me back in a coma. Regardless, I was out the next day training with Naruto, Anko, and Kakashi. I was surprised how well I had gotten along with Anko and Kakashi. The only stuff I knew about them was what Naruto had told me. Regardless, they would be pretty good parents. And they were super strong. Even me and Naruto together couldn't touch Anko and throwing Kakashi didn't help much for our cause. And today was the day that I had been waiting forever for.
"And you, Sarutobi Konohamaru, will be joining Cell 4. Tomorrow, you'll be meeting your team by that huge lake in the middle of the village." Anko told me. I nearly jumped for joy. I would have, but by the time I had thought of it, the moment to do so had passed so I just forgot about.
"Well, you can walk now. Get the hell out of my house." Anko ordered me. I gave her a quick 'yeah, yeah' and walked out of the door. In the few minutes of alone time I got, I liked wandering around the new village. Between the trees and the lakes and ponds, the new village had a nice feeling to it. After being the old Konoha, which had seemed darker since Orochimaru, it was a nice change of pace. It even seemed sunnier here. I eventually ended by the huge lake where I was to meet my new team. At the moment, there were a few other teams using the area to practice along with various people just relaxing in the sun. As I looked around, I noticed Kurenai laying on her back with a baby girl on her stomach. I hadn't even taken a step when she looked at me and smiled.]
"Konohamaru, I heard that you had woken up." She said as she sat up, placing her daughter on her lap. As I looked at the baby girl, the realization that she was my cousin.
"Yeah, it's been a few weeks now. I really like this village."
"It's beautiful, isn't it."
"Yeah." We didn't talk after that, but I found myself sitting beside her and my cousin, whose name was Sora. The wierd thing about this village was that when you decided to sit down and just relax, it always seemed as if the world had stopped. Sora showed off her ability to say a few words with a proud smile. Kurenai's smile looked identical to her daughter's.
"Well, I should get going soon. It was nice seeing you again Kurenai."
"Good-bye Konohamaru, see you around."
"Bye-bye!" Sora squealed before flashing another prideful grin. I laughed a bit and waved bye to her. I decided to walk around for a few more minutes before heading back home. When I walked in, Naruto, Udon, and Moegi were chilling in the living room. I blinked when I found that I was wrapped in Moegi's arms. I hadn't noticed the first time I saw her, but she changed her hair. Instead of two pigtails, it now cascaded down to her shoulders and was really wavy. Udon hadn't changed at all. He still wore glasses that were about half the size of his face, which almost made me laugh.
"I am so proud of you!!" Moegi said loudly as she hugged me again. This time I hugged back. As we split apart, I noticed how much prettier she had gotten. She still had the constant blush on her cheeks, even though she didn't seem nervous in the slightest. Naruto was sleeping on the floor with his hands folded behind his head.
"Hey boss, wake up!" I said loudly. He opened one sapphire eye and his face broke into a grin.
"Congrats on getting a new squad." As he said that, I disturbing thought crossed my mind.
"Um, do one of you know what happened to their third member?" I asked, looking towards Naruto. His smile fell and he looked soberly into my eyes. The room was tense as the awful truth hit me. It made the whole thing seem wrong. I didn't want to take the place of someone who died so young. Then a shoe came flying and hit Naruto in the side of the head.
"You brat, don't mess with him like that! Don't worry Konohamaru, their third member just passed the Chunin Exams." Tsunade said walking down the stairs. The surprise of seeing her was drowned out by the a huge weight lift from my shoulders. Then I pounced on Naruto.
"What was that for?!" I asked as I attempted to smother him with his jacket. Everyone else laughed. From then on, the five of us just sat around and talked. I was surprised that when Anko and Kakashi came down (looking disturbingly ragged), they seemed to easily fit into our conversation. It also surprised me how well the adults related to us. Before I knew it, everyone was leaving and I was being ushered to bed.
"Well, good night Konohamaru. I hope things go well with your team tomorrow." Moegi said before she, being the last visitor, left the house. And then I finished walking to my room. Tomorrow I would be meeting my new team. What they would be like, I had no idea. Tsunade didn't give me any names. But I always did like surprises.
