"Hey kids, whadya want with my son? Can I help you with something?" asked the Nara

"Oh nothing, we just wanted to see if he was awake right now Mr. Shikaku." said the quick thinking Uchiha in a shaky voice.

"Oh so you know me huh?"

"Yeah, my father told me about you. He called you one of our villages aces! I think you guys are the coowest!" Said the Uchiha out of character as Naruto was trying his best not to laugh.

Goddammit I hate this! Why do I have to pretend like a damn 6 year old?! I swear, I have to beat that blond shit into a bloody pulp, hell, maybe even take his arm!!

"What?! Fugaku Uchiha did? Wow.... He really sucked up his pride to be able to give us a compliment like that." He started to have a grin in his face resembling one when a 4 year old gets compliments from his parents.

"So umm-" Naruto began to ask as he was not so rudely interupted.

"Oh that's right, I almost forgot, Shikamaru. Well, you see," He pushed his chest out, raising his right hand to his chest and left hand to his hip, as he proudly declared "My son is a lazy good-for-nothing brat who is probably sleeping right about now, dreaming about when his next nap is gonna be, so I would suggest-"

Suddenly a door shut open and what appeared in front of them was Shikamaru, still in his sleeping attire. "Naruto! Sasuke!" He ran forward into a hug to the both of them, running past his father whose jaw had been dropped.

*Quick flashback

Shikaku said "Hey son! Congrats on winning that Shogi tournament !" he raised his arms out for a hug only to get rejected by his son.

"Yeah yeah, just don't hug me. I don't like getting touchy touchy with anyone who isn't my bed."

*Flashback end*

"My baby boy has finally grown up...." said a teary eyed Yoshino (His mom) as she held her mouth, tears flowing down her cheeks.

Shikamaru said "Come on in, make yourself comfortable."

They all followed Shikamaru in, as his father eyes the jinchuriki up and down. They all entered the living room and it was pretty awkward for a while. After a minute or two of heavy awkward silence, Yoshino spoke up, "So... do you kids want cookies and juice?"

Naruto raised his hand up yelling "Yes please!"

Shikamaru said "It would be a drag if I refuse in front of guests. I don't wanna get yelled at latter so sure, why not?"

Sasuke said "Hn...."

Shikaku spoke up "Oooh, so this is the infamous Uchiha language!"

Naruto answered almost immediately "Yup! It could mean yes, no, a whole sentence, or even a question! Can you believe it?! Believe it is my catchphrase and even I can't believe it!"

Sasuke was seen a little pissed because he thought the Uzumaki was mocking his sacred language. Shikamaru however was on his back dying from laughter.

"Um, dad, is it okay if Sasuke and Naruto come into my room?" asked Shikamaru as he got up from the floor, already started walking to his room with his 2 buddies.

"Hmmm, sure son, I don't see why not. Just don't do anything stupid."

After the room was clear, Yoshino asked "Was that.... Naruto? The 9 tail jinchuriki? Kushina's son?"

"Yes it was.... I'm glad Shikamaru is treating him nicely, unlike those other bastards."

. . .

They made sure the room was closed until they took their masks off. Shikamaru ran into a hug with the other two. "I'm so glad it actually worked! I-I really doubted all this! It seemed too good to be true!" As it turned out, Sasuke grew pretty close in the time when only him, Naruto, and Shikamaru were the only remaining leaf shinobi.

Naruto who had broken down into tears said "Yeah.... You are right... It was too good to be true...." Shikamaru looked at Sasuke because of the vague but sorrowful response he got from Naruto, in hopes that Sasuke would enlighten him. Sasuke mouthed the words, I'll tell you later.

Shikamaru asked breaking the ice "So what do we do next Lord Hokage?"

"I'm no Hokage.... I couldn't do a damn thing.....But...we need to plan some sort of baseline of what we should do."

Shikamaru smirked as he said "I already knew that was your response. I from this day on consider me your personal adviser."

"Sasuke, what's the situation with your abilities?" asked the advisor.

"I can maintain my sharingan for about 30 minutes. My Mangekyo I can maintain for about 1 to 2 minutes, and my rinnegan.... I don't really know, but I might be able to use it once.... My Chakra storage is shortened, my pain tolerance isn't as high as it was before, and physically... not in the best shape either."

"Shikamaru, I am in the same boat as Sasuke basically, except the dojutsu part. I can use my 6 path mode not for too long. Probably a minute at most, but that would leave me unconsious for the rest of the week. However, I can still gather Sage chakra with ease.

"And I.... am still as smart as ever but.... my shadow control isn't what it used to be. The rest is the same as you guys...."

Sasuke opened his mouth to say something "Shikamaru I....."

"What is it Sasuke?" asked the other two in unison.

"It's just that....Obito wanted me to...." Sasuke looked as though s he can't decide whether to put a charger in the top, or the bottom one.

"It's nothing. I'll tell you all about it later around the time we graduate..."

"So anyways, as I was saying earlier, we should probably act like we were back then. Judging by yours and Sasuke's acting-" He paused to control laughter which he had been trying to hide whenever he looked at Sasuke.

"Specially Sasuke, i-it doesn't look at though I need to say that twice." By now he was laughing together with Naruto like a maniac.

Naruto shouted out "I-I think you guys are the coowest!" Shikamaru started laughing even harder. Sasuke was ready to make good on that thought he had earlier about Naruto's arm as he blushed furiously.

"Author-sama, please give me permission to cut off his arm! I need to do it right now, I don't care if I lose my eye or arm in the process. "

Shikamaru said "I saw the whole thing happen through my window when I woke up for the second time! I didn't even know the Uchiha could look or speak like that!" Shikamaru said wiping away his tear which trickled down his cheek as he pointed at Sasuke with another hand.

Naruto questioned "Second time? WAIT, YOU REALLY DID SLEEP FIRST THING YOU GOT HERE-"

"That's irrelevent info which would only bore the audience."

Naruto asked "What are you talking about?"

Sasuke trying to assert dominance over the conversation, (lel jk, v all know Sasuke wants to change the subject.) "Back at the matter at hand. You were saying?"

"Since my dad already knows we are familiar with each other, we gotta pretend like we are pals. I would have prefered if we had Naruto and Sasuke hate each other, not because I get to be lazy again"

"SURE..." said the other two in unison.

"Hey, at least I went into the trouble of hiding it this time didn't I? Besides, that way we can stick to the original timeli-"

Suddenly the door opened up. Sasuke reached for his sword, Shikamaru for his Shurikan, and Naruto for his Kunais. The all panicked when they realized they didn't have their gear on them. Sasuke almost used his sharingan, and Naruto his non-existent Kurama mode.

"Hey kids, the cookies are ready! Come out to the table if you want some!" said the Nara's mother oblivious to the reaction, whereas Shikamaru's father, who stood a couple feet away, noticed the kids eyes (not their actions).

No... Why do they have those eyes?! Thought the Nara as his eyes opened wide in shock.

So.... I feel like I'm growing bad to worse.... I need some feedback soon peeps. I really dunno what I should be improving on to make this story better. Leave a review telling me on what was good, and what could have been better, or just something like "It was a good chapter."

Next chapter wont be TOO light hearted and would probably be a little heavier. Things are gonna take a light but not this light of an approach. Besides, this story is about him correcting his past, not being drowned in it.
