Minato told his team to lay low due to Kushina’s pregnancy and birth. He had things covered. The more secrecy around the loosening of the seals the better. Genma was still on guard a little but when Kakashi came in panicked he knew things had gone wrong. Man had things gone wrong. FUBAR, wrong. Now as leader of what’s left of the Hokage’s guard Genma sets up one last detail, one that will last decades and needs them to be subtle and operate from the shadows.

Naruto finds out that the council is about to pass a repopulation policy after the fourth war and all of his friends are on the list. He’s trying to talk to Kakashi about why this isn’t the best idea without naming names because he knows his friends. Worried about the quietest of his friends Naruto wants Shino to know that he’ll never be alone.

Like many geniuses Shikaku had multiple things on the go to keep his mind active and to stop him from driving himself (and Inoichi) insane. His answer was to play multiple games of Shogi with whoever wanted to. To that end he placed boards all over the village. Shikamaru learned much about the game, strategy and life from those games. After his father’s death he learned some more. Never underestimate you opponent.

Seduction by Induction - Because even psychotic S-class killer missing-nin are lovesick teenagers at some point.

The Sharingan Users' Guide to the Galaxy -It's the final frontier.

Splash - On a scale of one to ten—ten being the bomb scare at the Reuters Building last May—this was still registering at least a seven in terms of stupidity.

The Girl From Whirlpool - When Naruto's father met his mother, his only impression was that a village out there must have been missing its idiot. Minato/Kushina.

Disagreements - Itachi and Shisui didn't agree on everything.

The Place Beyond - Good timber does not grow with ease; the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees. Hashirama/Mito

Untitled - Itachi is not the romantic type, and there's no one who knows that better than Shisui.

If you died I would probably get a Mangekyou - "Itachi-kun!" he snapped. "I expect this genjutsu dispelled within five seconds, after which you and I will sit down and have a very, very candid discussion about why exactly this entire tsukuyomi was composed in shades of pink."

A Very Merry Zombie Apocalypse - The world ends. Shisui is exuberant. Itachi is kind of a Grinch. Life goes on.

Undressing the Onion - Shisui wants to take someone else to the dance. Oh no.
