Minato's Legacy: Gaiden

Hey guys, some of you may have read my story Minato's Legacy, some of you may have just stumbled upon this story, those of you who have stumbled, go back and check out Minato's Legacy, as this fanfic is just a simple Gaiden for setting up Characters, as they won't have time to be properly introduced in the main story. Since I won't be making much changes to the characters, they will behave pretty much exactly like their Cannon counterparts, I still feel like I want to set up and tell some side stories, for when I don't feel the main storyline, I can always come back and write the side story.

You can review and tell me which characters Gaiden you would like to see next. I will start off with my favorite Konaha 11 character, Shikamaru.

So apparently Naruto had graduated from the academy. The improvement the boy had displayed in the last two weeks was awesome, and yet there was something about him, something was off.

He himself had mixed feelings about his own team, while Naruto was in Team 7, where Sakura and Sasuke were also put. He laughed; this was some sort of a weird love triangle going on there. Such things were too troublesome to think about.

He had Chouji on his team, which was a plus, the kid was his best friend, and they would have a blast. He wasn't sure what to make of Ino. The kunoichi was a firm member of the Uchiha fan club. He did not like fangirls.

She also seemed to be the definition of a troublesome woman, just like his father had told him before, she reminded him of his mother.

"So under me, the team will become the best it can become" Ino harped, she was talking for a while, this was the first time Shikamaru actually bothered to listen.

Chouji seemed to be eating chips, while Ino seemed to blabber nonstop for the next several hours.

"Hey Ino" Chouji called out, "I want you to stop talking"

"Shut up you Fatso" Ino snarled.

Shikamaru realised that this was the wrong thing to do, he did not want to see his best friend hit a woman, and yet, he found himself being vaguely excited at the prospect of Ino receiving a beatdown.

And sure enough Chouji raged after her, but Shikamaru managed to calm him down, while Ino was almost moved to tears. Shikamaru wondered if it was because of fear or guilt. Probably fear.

And that's when Asuma sensei had found them.

He seemed to completely ignore what had just gone down, and told them they weren't ready to be Genin yet, they had to pass a test.

Another test. This was going to be troublesome.

There it is, not too big or anything, just an outlet for me to vent and write something else if I feel like the story is not really headed anywhere. I want you guys to check out Minato's Legacy if you haven't yet, I plan on writing a gaiden for every member of the Konaha 11. I will also write short stories about the missions they carry out, and update both stories simultaneously.

Send me some ideas and whatnot. Peace.
