Her arms crossed against the light breeze that tugged gently at her nightie, Sakura gazed pensively out over the rooftops of Konoha. Her right hand slipped up on its own to rub at her chest again, just below the clavicle and left of the sternum...
Nightmares were, well, kind of a part of being shinobi unless you were one of the ones who'd gone dead inside, or, worse, come to enjoy the bloodshed, but hers tended to be about things she'd had to do to others or patients she hadn't been able to save, rather than things that had been done to herself. Of course, she'd been injured in the line of duty often enough - really seriously, a couple of times - and Sasuke really had ripped out her heart and crushed it, if not so literally, when he'd defected to the Sound.
She sighed, shook herself, then closed the window and climbed back into bed. Hopefully the rest of the night would bring her happier dreams.
A 27-hit combo of Naruto crack
Naruto was laughing at Jiraya, who'd fallen on his face when he saw the young ninja forming not just a rasengan with a single hand, but one in each hand - at the same time yet! Just to show the old pervert a thing or two, he decided to try something really different, and...
"YAAAH! See, see, Ero-sennin? I'm the greatest ninja ever, for sure! I bet not even the Yondaime could make a Rasengan over his forehead! Hahaheh, I think I'll call it... ODEKODAMA RASENGAN! Dattebayo!"
He slammed them into a handy boulder, left-right-headbutt, reducing it to rubble, but before he could do a happy dance to celebrate a masked ANBU poofed into existance on top of the largest remnant.
"Uzumaki Naruto," the black-clad nin announced, "You have been recalled by the Godaime Hokage for an urgent mission. I've been authorized to teach you an ultra-secret teleportation kinjutsu to return instantly for the details. Are you ready?"
"An urgent mission, and a new technique? Ultra sectret! Yeah, yeah, let's go!" the blond enthused.
"Hey, what about me?" his earstwhile sensei complained. "You're supposed to be on a training trip with me at least a few more months!"
Naruto blew a rasberry at Jiraya, then told him. "I'll come back, but only if you promise to teach me something cool instead of all those lame control excercises!" Ignoring the older man's abject apologies and frenzied kowtowing, Naruto turned back to the ANBU. "Okay, okay! Let's see that super-cool secret technique!" He took his best attentive pose, arms free to form seals and eyes locked on the newcomer.
"This technique is called Ninpou: Shunkan Idou no Jutsu," the ANBU explained. "The seals are horse, monkey, giraffe, ram, platypus, and catfish. Concentrate on the view from the place you want to go, then release the chakra. I'll demonstrate the seals one more time, then you try."
Carefully mimicking the unfamiliar seals, Naruto concentrated on his favorite view of Konoha from the top of the hokage monument and poured on the chakra. A huge cloud of smoke blasted out around him, and he was off!
