So for modern day, Vermont's Green Mountain National Forest or Yellowstone might be good places to drop Konoha for a combination of "who cares"
and "WTF? We has Ninja?"
This is mainly for, as I said, an attempt at a not cringe-inducing high-school fic. That's not to say the Cowboy/Ninja dynamic isn't interesting as
well, I just don't have enough "serious" knowledge of westerns to do it justice.![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif)
Add Sasuke's angst at having the curse seal, but no Orochimaru, and Itachi being completely out of reach... Hmm this would likely make Danzo and ROOT the
big antagonistic ninja baddies. Picking a timeframe from the manga to drop in its weird place is critical as well. Post Chunin Exam, perhaps with Tsunade as
recently installed Hokage, nd Jiraya's "research resort" being in the range of effect.
Hm. Language difficulties until the Yamanaka use their bloodline to try to pick up english... And common conversations the ninja have, even if it's in
plain Japanese, are likely to be beyond the scope of most folks wherever they drop, since Japanese speakers are more common in Urban areas, and the folks in
the Boonies/'burbs who speak Japanese are likely at the "Where's The Bathroom? I don't Speak Japanese" stage of learning.

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
