Log:

Obito kind of pitied Sakura whenever she got here, if how excited Naruto was was any indicator. The guy was practically vibrating in place. Still, he was admittedly really relieved when he saw Tenten. With the whole vanishing thing Sasuke pulled he'd been kind of... worried.

My other student was a medic nin too, I never learned much of it myself though.

[Considering how often he ran off on his own, Rin had made sure he could patch himself up at least. Field medicine hardly compared though.]

Shame we can't use chakra here, she'd be in high demand helping out at the centers.

[believeit]

That was Rin right? Obito mentioned her before..

Yeah, she'd probably like that too. I think she helps Tsunade-sama in the hospital at home sometimes.

[aflashoffaith]

Mmn, that's right.

[A brief bit of sadness flashed over his expression then, the second of his kids lost.

Maybe she'd turn up here too, one day.]

I take it Sakura learned more than the medical side of things from Tsunade-sama?

[She's really strong. He tilted his head and patted at the ground beside him, an offering for Naruto to stop bouncing and join him. In more pleasant conversation.]

You know, I always worried that she'd break Sensei. I couldn't tell you how many times I had to use Hiraishin to get him out of trouble.

[Okay so it wasn't that often, but there had been a few afternoons spent dragging Jiraiya to Rin to get patched up (Tsunade refused to do it, stating it would teach him a lesson. It never did.), his sensei cackling and claiming whatever he had done had been worth it.]

[believeit]

One of these days, I'm gonna say something stupid and she's really gonna kill me..

[Just this face. Sometimes Naruto is too like Jiraiya, and Sakura is far too much like Tsunade.]

[aflashoffaith]

Let's hope you inherited my speed along with the blond hair.

[Or your mother's thick skull cough cough]

[believeit]

I hope so.. if only I still had the Kyuubi's chakra here...

But Sakura-chan's really great, you'll like her a lot!

[aflashoffaith]

I'm sure I will, since you do.

[A friend of yours is a friend of his!

Even if she sassed him.]

[believeit]

Hey Dad, once everyone's here and settled in and stuff, we should train together! What do you say?

[It's not quite the years of ninja training he missed out on, but it's good enough for him.]

[aflashoffaith]

Of course.

[Minato would never be too tired, or too busy, for his son.

Well- it would be pretty nice if he could get at least one night of sleep first...]

But, you should know it will include meditation as the sun rises! A few laps around town on our hands... it's important to keep our strength up since we can't use chakra here. Maybe we should ask our Pokemon to accompany us too? Hachi is a pretty good motivator.

Ah! And remind me to ask Kushina if she could make those spinach smoothies of hers when we're done, can't let all our hard work go to waste by eating something unhealthy hm?

[aaaand the dadtrolling begins.]

Maybe Sakura could recommend a few healthy choices for us...

[believeit]

[He's listening, and he is really excited about it, honestly, but some of the things...

Meditation he could do. Laps around town he could do.. on hands would be weird, but.. well, he would muddle through it though. Spinach though?! At the mention of that word his head just flops down.]

Dad you're starting to sound like Bushybrow-sensei...

[aflashoffaith]

I guess we could modify the schedule a little, if we had to...

[Your reaction was worth it though.]

Who's Bushybrow-sensei?

[believeit]

Vegetable smoothies, noooo thankyou!

[Apparently he can eat paper and insects, swallow crows and frogs but vegetables are too much, go figure.]

Bushybrow-sensei is er- Gai-sensei. Him and Kaka-sensei are rivals apparently.

[aflashoffaith]

Ah? Gai became a Sensei too, hm?

...You're right, he definitely would make us drink something awful like that wouldn't he? Well, provided he hasn't changed too much since the last time I saw him.

[But your refusal probably plays a large part in why you're still so short, you know.]

[believeit]

I don't think he's changed at all, he's always doing stuff like that. [Nod nod, he doubts Gai has changed at all, when he was younger he was probably like how Lee is now.]

His team are all really strong though! Tenten, the other girl that's here, she's on his team.

[aflashoffaith]

He used to drive Kakashi crazy when they were younger, you know.

[Minato had approved of it though, despite how many times he'd walked into his office to find his student hiding there because of it.]

I spoke with Tenten when I arrived, she's a nice girl.

[believeit]

He still does! Hehe, he gets challenged to rival battles all of the time but usually tries to ignore it.

[He'd probably still do it, given the chance.]

Obito keeps saying that Kakashi-sensei isn't like how he used to be though.

[aflashoffaith]

They started that when they were about your age.

[Gai had been able to reach Kakashi in a way the rest of them really hadn't been able to- it was almost reassuring to know it still happened.]

Kakashi has faced a lot of... difficult situations, many when he was still young. [CAN'T TALK ABOUT PEOPLE'S PASTS BUT. PLOT.] He changed even in the time I knew him, I don't doubt the Kakashi you know is much different to the one Obito and I knew.

[believeit]

He's always late, and he reads Ero-sennin's porn all day long.

[Perfect description of Kakashi tbh]

[aflashoffaith]

He really went with that idea did he?

[You come from a long line of perverts Naruto.]

I liked his first book better.

[believeit]

Not you too...! [WHINE. DAD NO.]

I dunno why adults like that stuff so much. Ero-sennin used to make me read the stuff he wrote, but it was really boring.]

[believeit]

[But then.]

Wait, do you mean the first Icha-Icha book, or the other first book?

[aflashoffaith]

[He's private about it at least. SMALL FAVORS.]

The other. He'd only just started working on a draft for a more adult book-

[Yeaaaaah let's not go there.]

Ah... Have you read it too? It's where we got your name, you know.

[believeit]

Yeah, I read it. Sennin-jii-chan gave it to me when I was training with him..

...That book really helped a lot y'know. During that time you appeared for me, that you don't remember.

[aflashoffaith]

I'm glad. Kushina and I hoped that by giving you the name, you'd grow to be like the Naruto from the book.

...From what you've told me, I think you might have already surpassed that.

[believeit]

Did you know that stuff that was said in that book were things said by this person called Nagato? Jiraiya was his sensei too, so we're all kinda like sibling disciples!

[He doesn't know what to say about surpassing his parent's expectations tough. Parental praise is not something he has had often, after all, so it leaves him just blushing a little and awkwardly scratching at his head.]
