Konoha

Kakashi left the hospital with a bandaged eye... once again

He immediately headed towards the cemetery and as he arrived there he found his friend's tombstone

"Obito... I'm sorry..." And then, he began apologizing to his dead friend about not keeping promises, losing his eye, and such

Minutes later, he was about to leave but something caught his eye

"Shizue? what's she doing here?" He asked as if he was the only person that could visit the cemetery

like the stalker he is, he followed her to see what she was doing... in a cemetery... I don't know, maybe throwing a party?

He saw her sit in front of an empty tombstone and talk with it, he didn't try to listen to what she was saying, because there is a limit to how much he can be intrusive before it gets creepy

"Did she lose someone as well?" He concluded the obvious, before turning to leave

"Kakashi, wait" But he heard Shizue call him, so he stopped

"Yes?"

"Don't you 'yes?' me, stalker!" Shizue said in fake anger, making Kakashi flinch

Because he can never tell if she is truly angry or not

"Anyway, jokes aside, how is your eye?"

Shizue asked in a serious tone

"Ah, this... it's fine..." Kakashi put a hand on his now missing eye

"You want to talk about it?" Shizue asked noticing his sad mood

"...Maybe later, ok?" Kakashi dodged the question

"...Sure"

"Anyway, Have you seen my team somewhere? I need to talk with them, but I don't want to search the whole village" Kakashi changed the topic quickly

"Sigh... even now you need to be so lazy?

And no, I didn't. It's YOUR team, not mine

but I can help you search for them-"

"Okay, send them to the training ground 7, thanks" Kakashi immediately said, interrupting Shizue before he flickered away

"..." Shizue looked at the place Kakashi was at in a daze

"Just how shameless can you get?" She askes in annoyance

She then turned to the tombstone from before

"Bye bro, sis. I have to go" She waved goodbye to it.

Everyone in Naruto world has to have a sad past, no? that's a prerequisite...

Walking around the village, Shizue found Sasuke in a dango store, and so she said

"Sasuke, Kakashi is looking for your team, can you tell Naruto and Luna?" She can be nice but she isn't stupid to do everything Kakashi asked, so she only found Sasuke cause she said she would look for team 7 for him, but she never said she would find them all

"Hmm? sure... I have a good idea of where that idiot is..." Sasuke said as he turned back to his dango

"Okay then, training ground 7.

bye" Shizue quickly went away, not interested in having to do Kakashi's work for free

Meanwhile, as Sasuke munched his dango he thought about the thing that has been bothering him for some time

'Why did that guy help the bushy brows as well? what's his purpose? and why are dango sticks so small?' He asked as he looked at his finished dango stick in annoyance

"Sigh... no time to think about this, let's find that blond idiot" He said as he got up, playing with the now empty stick in his hand

Recently he got a sudden interest in Senbons, so he has been training with them, and he got some quirks, like playing with the dango sticks like they were senbons

Sasuke went towards the only place you could ever find Naruto at: Ichiraku's ramen

Walking around Konoha he was like a ghost, moving fast and barely being seen, part of a new training he found in a book

he really liked the suggestion of reading that Kaede gave him, there was a lot of useful books for self-learning, some of the political books also had recommendations of training methods because ninja training is just as important as politics in Konoha

or that is at least in the theoretical part of it, in pratic, the politic side of Konoha took over years ago

Arriving in front of Ichiraku's ramen stand, Sasuke quickly found Naruto and surprisingly Luna there as well, but he ignored her

"Oy dobe. Kakashi is looking for us, training ground 7" He said and turned around, without explaining anything and not even glancing at Luna who was left with a fly eating face

"What's his problem?" She asked in annoyance

"Don't mind him, he is just angry about the whole thing with Kaede... he will be back to normal in no time" Naruto said before he dug into his ramen, eating at a speed that CAN NOT be healthy

"I... Hate him... know, Naruto, it's just... deplorable... annoying, you know?" She said, also eating a bit faster, but not as fast as Naruto, the dude is a ramen eating machine...

"Hmm hmm hmmm" Naruto tried to say something, but you could barely hear anything since his mouth was full of ramen

"Don't talk with your mouth full" Luna said as she resumed eating

Meanwhile, a man in the same Ichiraku's as those two was having an internal struggle

'I must have broken something in the timeline with that seal, that's the only explanation I can think of... Sasuke is in the village, I don't know who this Luna girl is, or who Kaede may be... and Sakura is nowhere to be seen...

I heard Grandfather Hiruzen is alive, which is undoubtedly different from my time...

Sasuke also didn't have that seal of Orochimaru's and I can't even feel Kurama in my version of this timeline... that's so weird' He grumbled in annoyance, without noticing the knowing smirk on Teuchi's face

Ayame elbowed Teuchi and his face quickly turned back to normal, though
