The Denials

Right now all he wanted was something familiar in this terrible joke of a village. It was a joke… this entire village was laid out exactly as his own had been – WAS – laid out but it wasn't his village despite the name being the same. Despite the houses looking identical and the people oh so eerily similar to those in his own home.

It was all a joke and he wasn't laughing.

Back in his home he was a respected member of the ninja community despite his various 'extra-curricular' activities. Seen as the second coming of the Sannin by the civilians and heralded as a champion of Konoha by his fellow ninja, someone they could count on and rely on in their darkest of hours. But, of course, he wasn't going to be there for them to count on anymore. He wouldn't be working with any of the chunnin teams he had helped over the years or pairing up with any of the sensei to work with some students.

And here!

Well he had done some research after being allowed to leave the Hokage tower and he had discovered that the version of himself actually from this Universe was… well he was hated. Yes he had the fox sealed in him but apparently the villagers here had taken the news much worse than his had ever done. They had even glared at him as he walked down the streets and he was obviously not the one that they remembered.

Of course they'd probably chalk up his eyes and facial markings as a sign of some prank that had either already been sprung or they had yet to realise what it was that he had done.

They were glaring at him again and it was getting rather annoying. He hadn't even done anything to these people. Hell, he'd only been perving through the divider in the hot springs for a few hours before going to the Hokage's tower! Wait… that was the answer!

He giggled a little bit, unknowingly getting even more annoyed looks from the women in the crowds as the giggle reminded them of Kakashi's little perverted giggle from when he read his books.

He wouldn't have cared anyway.

Quickly making his way to the hot springs, Naruto made sure that the hot spring on the male's side was empty enough to indulge in his favourite pastime before creeping slowly up to his favourite peeping hole. Apparently the toad sannin of this universe favoured the same angle as it was still here despite this being an entirely different universe.

If he chose to believe the version of himself that said he had become Hokage.

Ooo! Forget about that loser! Looked like he had found some winners behind peeping hole number one!

There were only three women in the other side of the hot spring but what women they were! A purple-spiked-haired vixen, a red-eyed-black-haired hottie and a short-messy-haired wild one by the looks of it! Hell… he knew these women! Back in his home these three were the ones he had spent so much time with!

Anko Mitarashi, Kurenai Yuhi and Tsume Inuzuka!

He reached slowly into his ninja attire, his hand dipping lower as they bounced around in the female side. Finally reaching his destination, Naruto could barely contain his excitement… as he withdrew a notepad and pen. This was great material! They were acting the typical females having some barely clothed fun, gossiping and lots of exaggerated gesturing that let certain parts of their body behave in ways he very much approved of!

Where they comparing breast sizes?! Oh that was definitely going in his notes!

Unfortunately as he was scribbling away in his notepad he forgot one very important lesson that his godfather had taught him a long time ago. And because he forgot that…

"Hey… the fuck you doing over there?!" came the shout of one very pissed off Inuzuka matriarch, "I hear writing… Jiraiya!"

Ah hell.

Jiraiya had instructed him in the art of being a super pervert and one of his first rules had been to know the strengths of the women you were peeping on. Not only did it mean you were able to escape beatings better but you also knew how likely they were to actually catch you in the act of peeping and making notes. And it was fairly well known that the Inuzuka had enhanced hearing and sense of smell.. . which meant they knew he was here.

"Jiraiya!" Kurenai shouted over the divider, "I'm going to trap you in a genjutsu so powerful you'll wish you were dead!"

Well that didn't sound promising.

"Time to take your medicine you super pervert!" Anko sang as the divider suddenly came under assault by dozens of kunai, "We're going to have some fun with you!"

Well actually that one did kind of sound promising… pervy thoughts aside for now! The kunai had apparently been connected to explosive tags because the entire divider blew up in his face, sending jagged pieces of hot metal and splinters of wood directly into his beautiful face! Or it would have done if he hadn't performed a quick substitution with a nearby log so that he was now stood high up in a tree that looked down at the hot springs. All three of the women noticed him immediately and immediately they were surprised,

"Naruto?" Kurenai asked, surprised before the surprise turned to disgust and anger, "You're finally back in the village and this is the first thing you do? It was Jiraiya wasn't it?! He's corrupted you!"

Well… that wasn't entirely untrue in retrospect.

Jiraiya was the one who started him down the oh so noble path of the super pervert after all. Of course he was the one from his home universe but who was really going to be counting that. He grinned foxily,

"Well corrupted… enlightened…" he joked a little bit, "All good words to use but the end result is that now I can truly appreciate beauty such as yours my fair ladies! Where before I was but an ignorant child… now I am a man and as a man I cannot deny any longer how absolutely ravishing you all look! That it took me so long to notice and longer to comment is surely a crime!"

All Kurenai and Tsume had the decency to blush ever so slightly and try to pull their towels in ways to cover more of their delicious bodies. That was a shame but the flattery was working! Of course then Anko, smirking and hands on hips, had to ruin it all,

"You're just trying to stall long enough to think of a way to escape aren't you?" she teased, getting both Kurenai and Tsume to begin growling and releasing some killing intent. She smirked at Naruto, "Any last words kid?"

Well he was fucked and not in the pleasant way that often had resulted in him being caught peeping in his own universe… this universe was a hell of a lot less fun so far. He grinned sheepishly,

"Doesn't make it any less true but… before you attempt to kill me I have to tell you something." He took a deep breath before grinning, "I'm not the Naruto you know. I'm actually from a different Universe where there is alternate versions of everything in this world – including every one of us here! Me and other alternate Narutos have been flung into this universe against our will and have no idea the standards of this world! There are at least four of us here now even and we are so very lost… please… have some pity on a poor man flung from all that he had ever known…"

The silence stretched as the women looked at each other, doing the 'silent conversation' thing that Naruto swore was a jutsu reserved only for the women in the world. He stared at them with soft, expressive, eyes and hoped that they would find it in their hearts to give him some kind of parden… or at least a headstart.

"Not buying it."

Well it was worth a shot anyway. He grimaced a little bit as they drew weapons from… somewhere, and got ready to tear him limb from limb,

"Please… not the face!"

Pain was going to come, Naruto just knew it!

"That's enough."

Well this was surprising.

Appearing in a bright yellow flash, the older and alternate version of Naruto appeared amidst the ruins of the bathhouse. He looked up at the Sage impassively for a moment before cracking a small grin,

"Do you have any idea how much like Jiraiya you look like right now?" he taunted with a little smirk before humming slightly and turning back to the women, all of whom looked like they'd just watched a ghost appear out of thin air, "Hello ladies. If you'll excuse me, I need to borrow your friend here. The Hokage is looking for me to have a little chat with some of the other versions of Naruto running around town."

Tsume's eyes widened,

"You mean… his bullshit story about being from another universe is true?" She demanded, more than slightly surprised, "And who the hell are you to stop us from having our justice on this… this pervert?!"

Naruto shivered as he saw something in the former-Hokage-Naruto that he had never seen in himself. It was like something evil but something… that might well be needed at times. In his early years he had wanted to become Hokage but the look in the other man's eyes told him that it wasn't a good life.

Kage-Naruto looked at Tsume and all three of the women suddenly felt a little bit smaller. It was the look, the effect, that only a Hokage could have on a person,

"I am the Sixth Hokage of Konoha… in my time I have repulsed invasion forces and decimated armies with my own two hands." He told them, his voice growing more powerful without ever increasing in volume at all past a calm speaking level, "I have defeated demons freed from their containers and I brought my village out of the ashes to become the only surviving ninja village in the world and stronger than it had ever been. Who am I? I am Hokage. I may not be your Hokage… but you will show me respect and respect the office I hold and the orders of your current Hokage. She wants me to muster my 'selves' with a purpose."

There was a pregnant pause.

"Don't stand between me and that purpose." He warned them simply before turning to Sage-Naruto and nodding towards the Hokage Monument, "Finish here and meet me on the head of the Fourth Hokage."

There was another yellow flash and Kage-Naruto was gone, letting those left behind breathe a sigh of relief. Sage-Naruto scratched the back of his head awkwardly,

"Sorry about him… or me or whatever… " he coughed a little bit, "Um… catch you later?"

He was only able to avoid the kunai with his amazingly awesome reflexes… and the fact he fell from the wall in his hurry to escape. Not his proudest moment.

Naruto was no stranger to running the fuck away from scary women he'd managed to piss off but usually they weren't either ninja who weren't very well known or civilians. But this time he had obviously managed to piss off some ninja who were rather well known… he chalked it up to the learning curve of being a super pervert though. He was sure that his godfather had likely had to face the same problem during his earlier days as a super pervert.

Hell, Jiraiya seemed to make a point to only go looking for those kinds of women now that he was strong enough to survive their beatings!

Honestly though, Naruto was often at a loss as to why Jiraiya took the beatings when it was obvious to even the most casual of observers that he was far too powerful to ever actually be hurt by one of his various mobs. Not to mention he was a spymaster… what kind of spymaster couldn't lose a group of almost naked women in a busy urban area? It was literally one of the best environments to lose pursuers in after all.

Naruto himself had trained hard for battles in his career but he wasn't above using those same powers to defend himself or escape. After all, some of the ninja women who came after him weren't satisfied with a warning and a threat like most of them were. You got some who seemed to think that it was their job to neuter you for having any kind of sexual thoughts about them or any other women in the world, no matter your relationship with the woman you were showing sexual desires towards.

Women baffled him but they were the most worthy subject to try and understand to him!

Arriving at the top of the Hokage monument, Sage-Naruto spotted Hokage-Naruto stood on the head of the Third Hokage. Shrugging a little bit, Sage did as he had been instructed and stood on the head of the Fourth Hokage. He glanced over at his older counterpart and found that he was engrossed in looking out over the village. Turning to take it all in, Sage could see why that might be.

It was getting later in the evening now and the sun was beginning to set over Konoha, bathing the entire area in beautiful orange and yellow light that seemed to drench the entire area with a subtle life. Sage sighed a little bit as he couldn't help but notice some of the differences between this village and his own. This one seemed a lot more urban than his own… his own was awash with massive trees in the centre of the village as well. Hollowed trees that allowed ninja of the hidden Leaf to move throughout the village in a protected manner at will.

But still, despite its differences, it was still beautiful.

"My Konoha was bigger than this one."

Sage looked up from his thoughts about the village and turned to the Hokage-Naruto, who was now on the head of the Fourth Hokage as well. He raised an eyebrow and the Kage continued, still only looking out across the village,

"It had its scars from wars and invasions but it was strong and growing more and more each day." He explained, his face softer than the Sage had ever seen it, "It was my home and it was my duty to protect it from any and all dangers and threats."

Well that was something that Sage could get on board with,

"In my village…" he began, getting the Kage's attention, "There were more trees in the village itself. I wasn't anything special like a Hokage but I was recognised as a Sage and my duties were to protect my friends, my family and my people. "

There was a pause before the Kage spoke again, once again looking out over the village,

"We can't be there to protect our villages anymore. We can't protect our people, our loved ones or their interests." He admitted quietly before glancing at Sage, "But our duty is to Konoha. To the people of the Leaf. They… they are the people of the Leaf and this is Konoha."

Oh he knew where this was going!

Sage scowled a little bit before sitting down on the edge of the Fourth's head. He didn't want to think about this place as a place he could be stuck. There was only one hot spring in this entire village, the red light district was much smaller and none of his lovely ladies were here with him! Well… they were but it was like they didn't recognise him, because they weren't really the women he had gotten to know.

The Kage-Naruto sat down beside his dopleganger and waited patiently for a response that he knew would be coming. You didn't just say something like that and get nothing back. But Sage was going to let his alternate self sweat it out for a bit longer. Of course it wouldn't work if the Kage had anything else to say.

And to Sage, politicians like Kage always had something else to say,

"You've seen that there are four of us here at the moment. But there are many more of us out there." He explained before adding, "And most of them seem to have some form of anger or hatred towards this village and its people."

Wow… he wasn't a bad politician was he? Sage fought down the instinctive reaction he had when learning his people were in danger, the urge to rush to their defence. They weren't his people – not really. And besides all that, it wasn't like they were really in much danger now was it?

Him and his big mouth.

As if the universe wanted to prove him wrong a small building began to collapse on the outskirts of the village, by a swimming hole favoured by some rather pretty Nara women if he remembered correctly. He stood up to get a better look and his eyes widened when another building began to collapse, massive amounts of dust being kicked up as it collapsed inwards on itself. He turned to Kage to see the older version of himself silently looking right back up into his eyes, still sat down on the monument as if nothing was the matter,

"You were thinking… they aren't your people so what does it matter. Right?" he spoke quietly but cutting to the heart of the issue immediately, "If so then stay here. Stay here and watch as one of our alternate selves brings down homes and ends lives… I'm sure the local ninja will be able to bring them down. Eventually."

Sage sighed a little bit before laughing a little bit to himself,

"You're a right bastard you know that?" he laughed, shaking his head before nodding a little bit, "Did Jiraiya teach you that stuff? I swear he uses the same type of method to get people to talk in my universe…"

Kage grinned a little bit, his entire face lighting up with the child-like happiness that this universe's Naruto had been known for,

"Hey, if it works don't fix it right? Or however that saying goes." He grinned wider before shrugging, "Works even when someone knows it's being used against them doesn't it?"

Sage was annoyed a little bit but it was mostly in good humour. This was exactly the kind of stuff that Jiraiya had done to try and get him to do things he was reluctant to do. And if he was honest with himself he wasn't against the idea of helping this village, he had just been reluctant to do so. Well… with someone like Kage working his old master's angle he wasn't able to say no anymore. Shaking his head, he pointed at Kage,

"You are a manipulative bastard…" he teased before shaking his head as he prepared to throw himself off the monument to begin his race to the collapsing buildings, "You're buying the booze after this. And we're going to go and find the best place to pick up chicks here. And! You're my wingman, not the other way around! Got it?"

Kage smirked,

"Get going Sage."

Sage smirked right back and launched himself through the air in the defence of this new little slice of Konoha.

Half of everything was luck.

The other half, Naruto had discovered through the years of working with Jiraiya, was timing.

"Well well… Konohamaru…" he smirked as he looked down at the Third Hokage's grandson, who was currently trying to dodge the super-powered blows of Sakura Haruno. Obviously the boy was barely a genin but he was doing a good job of stopping all of the attacks from hitting him… he was less successful in keeping the property damage down but Naruto was more than willing to lay the blame at Sakura's door for that one.

Konohamaru was directly below the building that Naruto was currently perched atop of, Sakura beginning to stalk towards him dangerously. Well… seemed like Naruto was going to get some backstory as to why the little Sarutobi had been 'worthy' of a beating from a super-strong Sakura. Knowing the Haruno from his own universe it would be a logical and well-thought out reason – she had been a master strategist and strong thinker where he came from.

"You're freaking crazy lady!" Konohamaru declared bravely despite his grave situation, "You destroyed like five buildings!"

Six by Naruto's count.

"You deserve this punishment!" Sakura growled out venomously, "And I'm not falling for any of your tricks! I'm not done anything – this is all your fault! For what you did!"

Well… this had better be good now.

"All I did was peak once at the women's side of the bath house!" Konohamaru declared, almost proudly, "That's what boss told me Jiraiya does and he's the strongest of the three sannin!"

"Exactly!" Sakura declared, flames burning in her eyes, "Perverted men must be punished with pain for being such pigs!"

That was all Naruto needed.

Dropping from the building like a stone, Rasengan in hand, Naruto landed in a crouch, letting the chakra of the rasengan explode outwards, throwing both a charging Sakura and a whimpering Konohamaru backwards. The dust that had been kicked up from the brief landing began to settle as both began to pick themselves up to see Naruto, sage-eyed and grinning,

"It is I! The second coming of the great toad sage! Continuing his legacy!" he declared proudly, "I am… the SECOND SUPER PERVERT!"

There was dead silence for a moment as both of them just gaped at him and Naruto basked in the adoration.

Well… close enough to adoration for someone like him.

"Naruto!"

"Boss!"

Naruto grinned down at Konohamaru and gave him a massive thumbs up,

"Way to go Kono! Keep the perviness alive and well in Konoha!" he asked with a grin before turning to Sakura with a mock sigh. Apparently this Sakura was a lot less level-headed than the one in his home universe. He shook his head in disappointment at the rapidly reddening ninja, "Sakura… I'm disappointed in you. You're supposed to be smart! Everyone knows two things… perviness is natural and healthy and Jiraiya is by far the strongest of all three sannin!"

Sakura cracked her knuckles in what she must have assumed was a threatening manner. The problem was that Naruto had faced Tsunade in his universe so this little girl wasn't going to be showing him anything he hadn't already beaten an upgraded version of,

"You think that's so?" She growled through gritted teeth, "Well allow me to prove that not only is Tsunade the better sannin and better teacher… but that being a pervert, like you've become, is nothing but a waste of time that will get you killed!"

Sakura launched herself across the street at Naruto and his cowering student. To Konohamaru and Sakura it looked like she was going to hit Naruto dead-on in the mouth… but to Naruto in sage mode she might as well have been moving in slow-motion. Grabbing his student, Naruto spun away from the punch, bringing his student with him lest he be hit by accident. Sakura's punch went straight and true but neither Naruto nor Konohamaru were there anymore, meaning her momentum took her straight through the wall of the building they had been standing in.

Naruto made a mental note that that made seven buildings that Sakura had been the sole cause of destruction for. He grinned at her from a few feet away, waving at Konohamaru for the younger boy to get to a further distance,

"Nice form Sakura. Well… you've an average looking form but you punch was alright." He complimented her with a big grin, causing a vein to start bulging in her forehead, "But seriously, let's get you to the Hokage's office. You've got to answer for the seven buildings you've pretty much totalled…"

Sakura bristled a little bit at that,

"Tsunade will understand… this is the condemned area anyway. The areas abandoned after it was hit by the sand ninja during the invasion." She argued before growling at the cheering Konohamaru, "Besides! Tsunade knows that perverts need punishment befitting the crime!"

Konohamaru was wavering in his support of Naruto due to the killing intent that Sakura was pumping out at his student. Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his own killing intent just to pull the pressure off his younger friend,

"Really? So being a pervert means blunt force trauma and killing intent enough to scare chunin shitless?" he asked, honestly confused, "If that's the case… how does anyone do anything fun around here? Do you patrol the streets making sure no one gets any light-over-the-clothes action too? Is the entire village only allowed to have sex to produce kids or something?"

Sakura blushed a little bit at how upfront he was and Konohamaru grinned, knowing that his boss was winning without even having to show any of the awesome jutsu that he had obviously learnt from his training trip. Sakura seemed to be getting more and more annoyed by Konohamaru's distracting cheering for his boss because she grabbed a chunk of brick from the wall she'd partially demolished and threw it at the genin with her super-strength, not a second thought for the poor kid's health.

Konohamaru's eyes had chance to widen in fright before Naruto's hand shot out and caught the brick squarely in the centre, saving the genin from having his head removed from his shoulders. He turned to thank his boss but paused when he caught sight of the very serious look on Naruto's face, made all the more intense by his weird eyes,

"Kono. Leave now and go and talk to Jiraiya about what happened here." He instructed the genin before glaring at Sakura, who appeared to be more surprised that he was pissed than guilty about almost killing the grandson of a former Hokage, "Sakura and I need to have a chat."

Konohamaru wanted to watch but, honestly, this new version of Naruto was scary when he wanted to be so he scrammed when commanded. Sakura glared at Naruto,

"You shouldn't have done that Naruto, Lady Tsunade would have wanted me to punish him for his perviness back at the bath house." She argued before her eyes softened slightly, "What happened to you Naruto? You changed… you've become more like Jiraiya and that's a very bad thing! The man is a disgusting old man…"

Sakura jumped at a cracking sound, shocked to find the chunk of brick in Naruto's hand had been crushed to a fine powder in a second. Naruto tilted his head to the side,

"I'm not your universe's Naruto." He told her simply, ignoring her confusion, "But I'll let Tsunade explain that to you when I drag your ass to her office for all this property damage. Regardless of their ownership you just destroyed seven buildings of Konoha. That's an offense."

There was a palpable tension in the air but Sakura didn't seem to feel it all that much. All she knew was that Naruto was back, he had been corrupted by Jiraiya, had stopped her from punishing a pervert and was now trying to get her in trouble. Not really understanding the first part of his statement she reverted to an old stand-by when Naruto did something troublesome.

"Naruto you idiot!"

She tried to clobber him.

Sakura came flying at Naruto with a downward punch to the top of his head, which Naruto countered by merely pushing at her elbow to throw her punch off so that she missed and almost hit the ground with her deadly punch. Recovering in a split second, Sakura threw her other hand up in a savage uppercut, that Naruto just barely dodged by leaning backwards. He seemed to have misjudged it however as he had to take a step back to avoid falling.

This was all Sakura needed to push the advantage.

Letting loose with a barrage of fast punches and lightning quick kicks, Sakura kept on attacking with her famous anger and Naruto kept taking steps back to avoid as many hits as possible. To an average observer of chunin level and lower, it seemed that Naruto was losing this fight because all he seemed to be able to do was dodge Sakura's attacks.

Observers of jonin level and higher would say that Naruto had the upper hand because all he was having to do was dodge.

Not once had Naruto counter-attacked or hand to block, he was only dodging because he was able to dodge every attack that Sakura threw at him. By this time a small crowd was beginning to appear in time to watch the match. As far as many of the civilians were concerned, Sakura was going to be giving the demon-brat something he had always deserved.

Then Naruto got bored.

Sighing at how predictable her attacks were, Naruto decided that it was time to show her why Jiraiya was a stronger fighter than Tsunade. In the fight between Tsuande's super-strength and Jiraiya's sage mode? Naruto was so confident that he did what others would say was both unthinkable and impossible. Reaching up at just the right time, he grabbed Sakura's fist in mid-punch.

A massive shockwave rang out and the crowd were beyond shocked to see Naruto holding onto one of Sakura's fists without any sign of discomfort. Sakura's eyes widened at the implications and she threw a panicked punch at Naruto's head. Again Naruto narrowed his eyes and grabbed her fist in the palm of his hand. With both of her fists now neutralised, Naruto stood on the tips of her toes to keep her rooted in place,

"Sakura Haruno… you have recklessly endangered the life of both myself and a genin with your attacks and have damaged seven buildings beyond repair." He told her, loud enough for the crowd to hear, "But I don't give a shit about all that… you disrespected Master Jiraiya! AND his mission to spread perverted understanding throughout the world!"

Sakura opened her mouth, probably to shout at him, but Naruto wasn't listening. He growled and headbutted the female ninja right in the nose, breaking it instantly and painting his face with her blood. Of course Sakura was immediately trying to heal her nose even without the use of her hands so Naruto decided he had to end this with a decisive blow. Jumping back from her, he grinned as he prepared a rasengan easily in one hand,

"No one disrespects my master's dream of a perverted world that breeds understanding between all villages and people!" he grinned a little bit as she finished fixing her nose, "You master's teachings against mine… Go ahead!"

Sakura was beyond angry at Naruto now.

He had broken her nose! Sure she had fixed it in literally seconds but the fact that he had been so violent with her – a woman! – made her want to kill him. Growling, she charged at him with a massive amount of chakra glowing around her cocked-back right fist,

"Naruto!" she screamed as she charged, "You'll pay for that you idiot pervert!"

Naruto drew more nature chakra into himself from his surroundings and actually let the rasengen disperse. He wouldn't need that for this – she was making it too easy. Ducking under her wild attack, he threw his own punch towards her face that she managed to dodge by inches… or that was what it appeared to be but a second later she was flung back with a rather noticeable hit on her cheek.

What no one but Naruto (and Jiraiya) knew was that nature chakra had a lot of uses in a fist fight and that was one of them.

Sakura tried to pull herself off of the ground but suddenly Naruto was there. Before she could attack him again his finger jabbed a pressure point in her back and she was out like a light. Picking her up and slinging her onto his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, he grinned at his shocked crowd,

"Let that be a lesson to you all…" he warned seriously before grinning, "Nothing can beat the power of a pervy sage!"

With a single hand-seal he disappeared in a poof of smoke.

There we go XD

Yeah that took longer than I expected but at least it got done I guess :D

I'm not exactly happy with the fight scene but I think it's good enough to be moving along with. The fight scenes for the other Narutos will be so much better! They'll be much easier for me to write too :P

Someone raised a good point – Too many Naruto's spoil the broth!

Too true my friend, focusing on too many Naruto's would make this story way too hard to follow. Hence why I've selected only a few from the wide selection. For example, there is only one Hokage Naruto rather than a representative for every type of Hokage Naruto that can be had you know? Same with the sage Naruto – no other Naruto will have Sage Mode as anything close to a defining characteristic. There's no other ANBU Naruto either. So although there will be dozens of Narutos, the four you know (Kage, Sage, ANBU and Beast) will be the only four I focus on. Every other Naruto will be important for the chapters they are in (as the obstacles to overcome) but after that they won't be just hanging around Konoha to clog up the scenery.

Hope that's at least somewhat clear… I fear I turned it into a weird half-rant thing there :P

Anyway, review, favourite, follow and love me!

LOVE ME! :P
