"Ino, Choji… Go!"

"But, Shika—"

"I SAID GO! I'll take care of this."


"Why do I always have to rescue you, crybaby!"

"Te-Temari?"

"Watch out!"

"Oh Shit!"

"SHIKAMARU! WAKE UP!"


"Another dream? Again? Troublesome."

"Liking the accommodation? Why do you always land here, you suicidal idiot?"

"K-Kankuro? What are you doing in my head?"

"What? What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Kankuro, please. He's barely out from the effects of anesthesia. Let our guest rest."

"Gaara? Y-you're here too?"

"Duh! He's Kazekage. He runs the place."

"Kankuro, let the man rest, let's go."

"I think, I wanna wake up now…"


"He's awake! He's awake!"

"Tone it down Ino. Hey buddy, you ok? You went one man army in there."

"Good thing she was there to save your ass. Again!"

"Ino."

"What, Choji? Maybe he planned this all along to get the attention of his Suna princess!"

"Shhhh! I think we need to go outside and let him rest, Ino."


"That's better."

"What's better, crybaby!"

"To open my eyes and see you in my dreams. Having you alone in it is better. I didn't like the cameo appearances of Kankuro, Gaara, Choji and Ino in there. Although in this dream I was cut and stabbed, almost died but at least you're not kissing Lee, that was the worse—Ow! That hurts!"

"Idiot!"

"If that hurts then… this is real?"

"You have no idea what happened, do you?"

"I do. I think. But I can't tell which is real or not."

"You we're on a mission with Ino and Choji. You got ambushed. You stayed behind while your comrades brought the client to safety, to Suna. I rescued you—again, with the help of my team."

"Uh-huh."

"Yes, Kankuro and Gaara visited you earlier, So did Ino and Choji who are by the way, on the way to the next village to finish the mission with my tea—oomf."

"OUCH!"

"Damn, Nara! Why did you kiss me?"

"This is real! The Temari of my dreams doesn't hit me."

"Oh, I am so real!"

"OUCH!"
