Intro; 6 Years later
Everyone is pretty sure that he or she is the center of the universe. They all see the same event in a different way. How is everyone growing up? What will their reactions to the new events in the village be?
If Sasuke and Ino can survive dangerous missions, meeting Ino's parents shouldn't be a problem, right? Chouji, Naruto and Kiba are scheduled to return within the week but it turns out that their stay in the mountains has been extended. Hinata sits at home, waiting for Kiba to return as Neji makes a new friend. Lee and Tenten are both suffering through their own share of problems but neither can remedy the situation. Sakura tries to start all over as Shino tries to consider everything he's been through. And, even with his vast IQ, Shikamaru can't begin to understand the Hokage's reasoning...
The four teams of ninjas that we have come to know and love can't stay seventeen forever. Eventually, everyone grows up.
Will Shikamaru ever understand?
Will Naruto think everything through next time?
Will Sasuke be able to survive the night?
Will Tenten make Lee choose?
Will Hinata profess her love to Kiba?
Will Kiba always be so oblivious?
Will Shino go to Disney Land?
Will Neji sufficiently vent his hatred?
Will Ino be able to keep her secret?
Will Sakura make it as a ninja?
Will Chouji improve any more?
Will Lee ever become a great ninja?
All these questions, and many more, will be answered. One year at a time.
