[The video feed switches on to provide a blurred close up on someone's face. The user moves back slowly, allowing the image to come into focus as it shows a blond teenager sat on the ground, eying the device suspiciously.]

Hey- This thing even on? [A tap on the screen, the teen sighs, exasperated, before looking over to the Poliwag sat beside him.]

You know how to make this work?

[Silence.]

....Didn't think so. Maybe we just...

[Grumbling again as he shuffles in his spot, Naruto holds out the Pokegear a little further as he puts on one of his biggest, brightest smiles.]

Uzumaki Naruto, reporting for duty! Hehe. So, I really need to get home, everyone is counting on me, but the weird lady who thinks she's my Mom said I can't, so since I'm here I'm going to get all the badges and have everyone acknowledge me as the greatest Pokemon trainer there is, you'd better believe it!

[He hops up to his feet, facing the Poliwag once again.] C'mon Gama-chan! Training starts now!

[His speech is interrupted by the loud growling of an empty stomach.] Er... after we eat, that is. Does this place have ramen?

I don't know. I'm not ever gonna either so I guess it's not such a biggy if I find out. I am dead. Not like dead people get up and wander around.

Well, not unless they're under Edo-Tensei.

Do what now? People actually use that? I've only ever heard of that like, once. In history.

Yeah, in this war we're fighting this guy used it to bring back dead shinobi.

....Okay good to know. I must have seemed pretty unfunny.

Not like you'd know. Since you don't know anything that's happened apparently.

I died at thirteen, course not. It's been like, 13, wait, no. That's Sasuke. You're how old? Add your age to 13 and you get how old I should be.

Well I'm sixteen so...

Wait! Does that mean Kaka-sensei's only twenty nine?!

He's the same age as me so... yes. He's doing pretty good!

I always thought he was like... forty or somethin'. [Good job Kakashi isn't here to hear this.]

So hey, hey! What was Kakashi-sensei like as a kid? [He gets the feeling he can here some cool stories here.]

The Kakashi I know must've took my death pretty hard if half the things I've heard are true.

In the years I've known him he's been a rigid rule following extremist who believes the mission is everything and teammates are expendable if it means it gets done. Being late was subjected to scorn, and he was too brilliant for his own good. I think I finally cracked him when I died, he actually came back for Rin when I went to save her so... yeah.

Huh. That doesn't sound like the Kaka-sensei I know at all, he is always so aloof.

He always used to say the most important thing was teamwork, and that anyone who abandoned their comrades was worse than trash.

[He blinked, then gave him an absolutely brilliant smile.]

So it really really WAS what I said! I shouted that at him before I went after Rin. Because he refused. I was so mad.

Why did he refuse? [confused.]

Because he didn't wanna repeat history and save his teammate at the expense of the mission. He came though. Rescued Rin... then nearly got smashed with rocks. I saved him, got smooshed instead.

Sounds pretty rough.

Aww, I wish Kaka-sensei was here now. I bet he's like to see you.

Uhhh, you sure? I mean, I'd like to see him, but really?

Well yeah, I mean I reckon so.

[...]

So if you're here even though you died, do you think other dead people could show up too?

I'm not the only dead guy, so yeah, totally.

[Maybe others will show up one day then.]

Hey Obito. What sorta pokemon do you have then?

Eh? Fire, dragons, and grass with a couple other strays off on the Psychic end.

What sort do you think I should go for then? You've been here ages, right?

Uh, couple months yeah. I really couldn't tell you. It all depends on what you like, I mean. I have my collection but there are hundreds of pokemon so...

Hmm..I guess I'll just have to keep an eye out for some strong looking ones!

Different ones are weak to different types of attacks, you'll want to keep an eye on that.
