Naruto sat by the memorial stone, slurping down a cup of ramen as he looked into the distance. "I don't know Kakashi-sensei... I don't think I could continue ero-sennin's books. Even as a tribute to the two of you, it just wouldn't feel right."
Naruto tilted his head as though listening for a couple minutes before laughing. "Ya got me there sensei, I have been thinking of starting a new series. It'll be a bit more action, but it should still hold the porn that you both loved in it."
After a moment Naruto shifted his sight to glare off to his right. "No Ero-sennin, I'm not going to 'research' like you did..."
Naruto continued to banter with the two that no one could see, never realizing that a short distance away, Sakura, Hinata, and Tsunade all watched their favorite surprising ninja with a great deal of worry. "You said he's been doing this all month?"
"Yes Hokage-sama," Hinata whispered, using her good arm to point to the scene before them. "It's not always just those two, he also seems to talk to Shizune-san, and others. He also told me once that my mother asked him to say she missed me...." Hinata tucked her good arm back in, cradling the bad one still in a sling from when Pain attacked.
"Let's go... I... I don't feel right spying like this..." Sakura spoke up after a moment, trying to pull the other two away. "We can discuss this elsewhere, maybe ask him to come into the your office Tsunade-taicho..."
"Sounds good..." Tsunade mused as she and the other two girls began to walk away, only to be frozen solid at a shout from Naruto.
"What are you two yelling about? Baa-chan's no where near here! Look you brat! Baa-chan is a great leader! And she's cutting back on the sake!" Naruto yelled while leaning over the memorial stone. "And you! Don't you think you have better things to do than to upset Shizune-nee-chan by yelling at her choice in lovers? I mean Baa-chan was yours, and Shizune-nee-chan's your neice! So stop picking on her!"
