Shikamaru
Days went by with less uncomfortable questions and a lot more training, sometimes other adults would come by to help, like the parents of our small ones. Everyone worked their students hard and once the remeets were over all of them big or small fell into deep, dreamless sleep.
It was Wednesday, the sun was hidden in the clouds and the air was still, a perfect day for training. I stretched out a yawn and moved to pull my hair into its ponytail. Once that was done I moved toward the door, little Naruto brushed past me and yelled over his shoulder
"Sorry Shika!"
Once I arrived at the training area I turned to my group, Tsunade couldn't make it as she was now the Hokage, the old Sarutobi having stepped down the day before, and she had other things going on. Team ten also wasn't there as they were out on a mission. That left me with an academy instructor, a genjutsu mistress, a mega pervert, and a pink haired fan girl, oh the joy.
With her teacher gone the girl was even more annoying and loud in her whining, I sighed, Sakura at this age was so troublesome. The other adults began to pull out bags of dehydrated leaves and I passed one to Sakura. She looked at it oddly so I pulled out a left for myself. I filled it with water chakra, turning it from its brown and crinkled state to a green and fresh looking one.
The kunoichi looked startled, then awed. I explained how it worked and how water was affected by different types of jutsus. While she listened she focused on the leaf she held. Iruka was having some troubles but Kurenai was helping him, I hardened my stare as I noticed that the toad sage was simply staring into the air. Without any noticeable movement the sannin was trapped in a shadow strangle hold.
"Sir, you've been through war before and it was horrible, people died. I this war, everyone died, even you and Tsunade. Does this tell you how bad this war is? Everyone needs to train, hydrate dry trees if you need to!" he looked sheepish and began to work on his leaves. Once I was sure that all of my group was working I too worked on my leaves.
Gods that's short, but in my defense I took a lot out while editing, it was longer before.
