Naruto

I watched as the group with the screecher left then we entered the training ground. Such a small group I had here, ah well, wind is rare. I carefully explained the training, Temari was listening intently, little Naruto looked super excited and Azuma looked like he was falling asleep.

"Oi, Chain- smoker wake up!" I yelled at the Sarutobi. He lazily opened one eye, "Your training Tem- Chan today!" I told him.

"Tem- Chan?" the mentioned kunoichi asked.

"Yes, well, everyone is so small so I'm gonna call you by smaller names, like Naru- Kun. Until Azuma here dies, at least, he's next." He looked at me

"And this is going to happen when?"

"In about four years." I grinned at him "Or at least it was last time, this time everything is gonna be different." He nodded his grin dimmer than mine. I turned from him to myself, "Ever hear of a jutsu called ransengan?" I said while pulling out two water filled balloons and one handedly popped one. "Come see me when you can do that."

Then I made a few thousand clones and left them to work while I caught some sleep, the clones returning would tire me out. Out of the corner of my eye I saw jaws drop and I mumbled to them

"I'm the Rokudime Hokage, the most unpredictable ninja." Then I closed my eyes and slept. I awoke screaming, the dream where my dead friends blamed me for their deaths while coming out of my body like that long ago genjutsu. My clones were still working, some on taijutsu, others on my fox enhanced senses and yet more on multiple jutsus. Azuma, Tem-Chan and Naru- Kun were standing over me looking worried.

"I'm alright," I said as I sat up "Just a night mare." I stood and stretched "Dispel!" I called through the field and my clones vanished, causing the area to go white with smoke. I staggered from the lode of memories now coursing thru me, but stayed upright.

"Time for lunch! I shouted the eyes of my friends still burning in my skull.

Another chappie for all of you, I' so happy right now, I just wrote up chap 37 of this story!
