I Don't Own Naruto

I'm sorry about being a sucky updater, I will try to get back into the swing of things and update more often. I really did pull the names out of a hat, so if there is not enough drama, or unfair pairings, not my fault.

I watched as Gaara, Shikamaru, and Naruto daydreamed about their girls coming back. I was excited about everyone's memories returning too of course, but unlike the two kages and Shikamaru I have never had a long term girlfriend so I couldn't really empathize.

Having Hinata and Shino return seemed like a dream come true, these younger versions didn't count- not really. They had their earlier memories but not the later ones or abilities. Both my sister and my partner wouldn't return for nearly nine years, something that makes my heart ache.

"Guys, as much as I'd love to hear you go on about how much you love and how wonderful your girls are, we should really begin training," I said while pocking my Hokage in the back.

"Alright," Lee began. "In our time we had a semi-annual tournament, ever since Suna and Konoha merged. Today we will begin this tradition again, everyone come and grab a number from this box." The box he pulled out had thirty-seven pieces of paper inside, each one was folded twice.

The little Naruto made it first and grabbed one of them, unfolding it he then held it up for all to see that he had a 5. My younger self was next and pulled out the only 19, meaning he would not fight any one in the first round.

Gaara blanched when Temari drew her card and I could tell he was thinking 'I have to fight Temari?'

Hanabi looked rather faint, as did Zaku, Temari, Kankuro, Matsuri, Sakura, Tenten, Ino, and Dosu. I winced in sympathy for them.

"I know some of the matches are unbalanced, but in our time you have to get good and be good fast or … you die," Naruto announced, his face harsh. "Jiji will no longer be training with us in a regular basis, which is also why he is not in the tournament.

As the Hokage spoke Gaara created bleachers for the non participants to wait and watch at. There was a lot of noise as the ninjas sat down in their places; all of us who went through time were sitting together, with the kages in the middle. A habit that came from protecting them in the war.

"And now," Naruto announced, "The first round of the first Suna/Konoha tournament begins! Of this timeline at least." We all laughed.

"First Battle Zaku of the Sound and Shikamaru of the invincible Ino-Shika-Cho!" He cried

"Invincible?" Asked Ino, "aren't we dead?"

"Hush," Lee began Shikamaru doesn't need to here you say that. You said that all the time after Choji died. You're invincible because your team, and Naruto's, beat two immortal missing nins."

"Invincible, how?" asked Azuma while leaning in

"I'll tell you later,"
