Shikamaru
I had just explained the training process to my group and I listened to them talk. The little me mumbled
"Troublesome," before anyone else could react I stood and glared at my twelve year old self and hissed.
"If something has to do with winning this war in any way, nothing I repeat nothing is troublesome." The killer intent I was spewing was nearly causing the younger students to pass out.
"Uh, are you sure you're Shikamaru?" asked Sakura. I wield away from the group and ran a hand over my face, before turning back to the pinkette to answer her.
"Yes, I'm Shikamaru, just if I was him." I pointed to my younger self. "I would train myself into insanity. Almost everyone I care about is dead. The person I'm closest to is Gaara, because I was sent to Suna to help after his sister, student, and teacher all died on a mission. Only four of my friends live." I drew on my cigarette, a habit I had picked up after the death of my sensei. "I found a few bodies, like Ino's" I fell in to silence.
"Azuma died in my arms and I was the one to tell Choji's fiancé that he was dead. Is training so troublesome now?" The last part came out as a whisper but I knew they heard. The little me was pale but he asked
"How did they die?" in a small voice that wasn't like us at all.
"There is an organization that is after several people from different countries, the Akatsuki. One of their members killed Azuma, his name was Hidan. Choji was killed by the traitor and Ino is a really long story." I said with no emotion, I took lessons from Sai once.
"I still want to know." He said his color returning and his voice steady.
"Hold on then, Tsunade, I want you to train with Sakura and Jiraiya. Kurenai, work with Iruka." I lit a new cig. "Ino was a medic nin, the best we had so with the war going on she had a lot of work. One day she died of Chakra exhaustion and her engagement ring was full of unused Chakra. Her fiancé had died months before." The little me was in his/our thinking pose but I didn't let him hold it for long
"Get up, we gotta work." I said pulling him up. I made him water walk like crazy to get those reserves of his up, stupid lazy ass.
