Rock Lee: Hey, Why Aren't Koalas Considered Bears?

Rock Lee: Hey, why aren't koalas considered bears?

Gaara: Because they're marsupials.

Lee: ... *mockingly* beCauSe TheY'rE mArsuPiAls

Lee: NO. It's because they don't have the right koala-fications...

Sarada: Mama?

Sakura: Yeah, Sarada?

Sarada: ... Can I ask a few questions about dad?

Sakura: Of course you can, sweetheart. *pats a spot on the couch next to her* Ask anything you want

Sarada: *sits next to Sakura* ... What's he like?

Sakura: Well... he's a lot like Lord 7th. Very determined to achieve his goals, passionate about the things he loves, and he's very kind and pure hearted

Sarada: Is he strong? Does he have cool jutsu like Lord 7th too?

Sakura: He's very strong, and he has a lot of jutsu. He uses lightning release, and as an Uchiha, he has special eyes called the Sharingan, the Sharingan helps him see enemy movements better

Sarada: Do you think... I can learn that? Will I have a Sharingan?

Sakura: You can learn anything you put your mind to, Sarada, but I'm not sure about the Sharingan

Sarada: What do you mean?

Sakura: Not every Uchiha gets it, and it can only be awakened, not taught. It's different to Auntie Hinata's Byakugan in that regard

Sarada: Oh... I see... can I ask you another question?

Sakura: Of course

Sarada: What were the late Uchiha like? What were my grandparents like?

Sakura: Hmm... that questions hard for me to answer. I never met them. Maybe when your dad comes home next, he can tell you all about them, and he can tell you about his past too

Sarada: Why can't you, Mama? I want to know now...

Sakura: *kisses her forehead* It's not my story to tell, Cherry. Your father will tell it to you, just like he told me. I know you're curious, but it can be hard for him to talk about. He'll get there

Sarada: Mm... alright Mama... can we send him another letter? I have some photos of the cherry blossom tree at school that I want to show him

Sakura: Of course. I'll go get some paper, go get your pictures and pens

Sarada: Thanks, Mama!

Nothing but bad dreams

*helping Temari unpack her things into the Nara house*

Shikamaru: *looking through a box* ... Temari?

Temari: Yeah? What's up?

Shikamaru: Why do you... have a jar of sand?

Temari: Oh, it's sand from Suna. I collected it for when I'm ready to propose to someone. It's a tradition in Suna to gather sand from your home and have it turned into the diamond that'll be in the wedding ring.

Shikamaru: Why's there only a little bit in here?

Temari: They had some left over when they finished making it

Shikamaru: Ahh, okay.

Shikamaru: ...

Shikamaru: Wait-
