Years Go By, Nothing Changes
Sitting down on the bridge is their favourite pass-time. They tend to spend a lot of time doing nothing. But no one seems to care.
Their sensei lost all hope of seeing them pass the chuunin exam, their parents died during the war, and Sandaime could do nothing but shake his head disapprovingly as he passes them by.
Genma shrugs, Aoba smiles mischievously and Raidou sighs as he leans to rest his head on the Yamashiro kid's laps.

Years go by, nothing changes. People still portray them as "Konoha's most troublesome lot" and they're quite proud of that honorific title. Aoba, now blind, has been given the post of jounin instructor and he replaces Iruka who finally passed jounin. Genma took Hayate's place after his death and Raidou is Tsunade's personal body-guard.
