I watched as the battles continued, Shino lost to Temari and I beat Gaara (of course), Temari then fought little me and I lost. I was wiped from fighting Gaara. Shikamaru gather the adults that didn't know (Kakashi, Iruka, Baki, Hana, Azuma, Kurenai, and Gai) While Kiba rounded up the kids. The rest came over with no prompting.

Gaara had sent for Matsuri on the month long break and he fetched her from the apartment building, her and the sound nin. We had saved Dosu and explained everything but when we came to the exact moment he had died the first time through he regained the memories of dying and the other things that had changed.

Hayate had explained to the old man that he too had had a similar experience, and he relayed all of the information he had gathered form Kabuto and Baki. During the month the Sandime told all of the Chunnin and above about the time travelers, much to their shock.

He left out who we were, only telling them we had two Kages and three jonin (Anbu level). He did tell the people we would be training that we would be interacting with them a lot though. I turned into the training area (17) where my group would train; it was also where we would introduce ourselves to our students. It was a large meadow dotted with brush.

Gaara was already there with the Sound nin and Matsuri, as was Lee, Sarutobi, Tsunade, Shizune, and Jiraiya. Kiba arrived minutes later with the children following him. I vaguely wondered what he did to get them all here but brushed it off. When Shikamaru arrived he was dragging Kakashi and muttering about how he wasn't going to be late. Sai wasn't here although Sarutobi was working on it, not knowing his name was making progress very slow, not to mention the fact that Root was supposed to be disbanded.

Sarutobi stood to address the crowd.

"Now some of you here know about the unusual visitors Konoha has at this moment, these five," he indicated us "Are time travelers," he waited for the hushed whispers to disperse. "They are starting a training program where they will be teaching you. However the Sound nin will be in the largest group so we can keep an eye on them. Questions?" He asked politely "If you have any ask them."

I smirked at my friends and received both grins and identical smirks.

"I have one, why are you training us and WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" Yelled the little me. I released my henge and stepped forward fake glaring at the small orange wearing shinobi.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, the Rokudime Hokage aka the Orange Swarm, and both the future you and your sensei. Believe it." He gulped

"Nara Shikamaru." said the formally lazy ninja as he dropped his henge. His eyes swept sharply over the crowd in front of them.

"Rock Lee," said speed beast came forth and I removed the disguising jutsu.

"Inuzuka Kiba and Subaku no Gaara," They bowed. Ino stood up and shrieked

"Why aren't there more of you and where is Sasuke-Kun!"

"Everyone else is dead." Lee down cast his eyes as he spoke. He paused as the words sunk in. "Even your precious Sasuke." His voice was bleak and dead not his usual(youthful) tone. Kiba looked into the clump of people.

"Akamaru too." He said looking at the small version of his dog "If you want to know how you died ask your sensei, or another one of us. Although I think we should tell you that you will gain all of your memories of our timeline along the way."

"A-ano?"

"Yes Hinata?" Kiba asked. I wished that I could answer but it could be seen as odd, plus Hinata at this time was so shy, she'd pass out.

"W-why are a-all of these pe-people" she shyly glanced at Ibiki. "here? I-I barley kn-know most of them."

"Well these are people that we trust and are important to at least one of us. Fiancés, wives, teachers, friends, even siblings" Shikamaru answered as he looked carefully away from the group.

"If you have any more questions ask your teachers, we need to get to work." I announced

"Lightning, you're with me." Said Kiba "That's all Hyuugas, little me, Hana, Kakashi, Shino, Ibiki, and Sarutobi. We're going to training ground 49. Come on," he said and he grabbed the Sound nin on his way out.

"Earth, Tenten, Matsuri, Baki, Kankuro, me, Choji, Shizune, #23 please," the sun glinting in his hair he turned from the group with the ones he called staring at him as though he was gonna kill them the minute the y were out of our sight. I glared at them.

"Gaara only kills his enemies; everyone here is one of our precious people… and the traitor who we had to bring. We do have plans for that person though. "Looking only a little calmer they ran to catch the retreating Kazekage.

"Jiraiya, Tsunade, smaller me, Sakura, Kurenai, and Iruka, we're the water group. We train in area 39." Then he left really fast, especially for him, then I realized that Ino and Sasuke were in the same group.

"Hurry! Temari, me, Azuma, RUN," I yelled speeding toward the neighboring field, leaving my ninja to the screeching. I still heard the cry of

"I'm with Sasuke-Kun!" as it rang in the air. Birds took flight and I winced at the volume. My three companions looked at me.

"That's our training ground so we have to wait till they're gone." They nodded rubbing their ears.
