Titokhan

Two Hearts, One Soul part 5 I’m going to take the next few chapters to delve into Titokhan’s interactions with some of the core characters, starting with the Lazy Genius. Chapter 5 – Shikamaru At about an hour before sunset the next day, Shikamaru, as instructed, arrived at training area 5. And he could see why Titokhan had chosen this particular area. As one of the eastern most training areas of the village, there were plenty of shadows to practice ‘melting into’. “Ah, it appears I have to have piqued your interest after all.” He heard from seemingly nowhere in particular, but all around him at

Two Hearts, One Soul Part 4 – Preperation Naruto is getting up from his chair to follow wherever Master Drumheller went to start the training to control the Fox's power when he is stopped  by the older man's raised hand. "There is a time for everything my boy, and don't you already have your hands full?" Titokhan notes as he rests his hand on Naruto's shoulder. "You have a few hundred shadow clones running around.

Ironically at that exact moment, a group of 4 clones went jogging past, carrying a load of lumber that probably weighed 10 times what the 4 of them did

Two Hearts, One Soul, pt 1 (The Confession revisited) Naruto, with Ino's and Shikamaru's dads as well as a random ANBU in tow, arrived back in the outskirts of Kohona to the entire village waiting for his return. "Naruto, you did it.. you beat Pain and saved us all" his friends, almost in unison (with one notable exception, who hung back in the front row of the clearing ), shouted as he entered the clearing.  He embraced as many of his friends as he could reach at once  until.. "NARUTO!!! You baka for brains.." Sakura had her fist cocked as if to slug him one, causing Kiba and Choji, the two closest to Naruto, to recoil
