I had been three years. Three years since he left to train with Jirayia. Three years spent in total seclusion in the mountains of Rock country, not leaving their mountain even to buy food. Three years of harsh training just to regain a little of his initial strength.
It had been hard, it had been tiring, but it wasn't enough. Even though he knew he could never gain as much strength, he couldn't stop thinking it would never be enough.
He still had nightmares of that day, of the pain, the shear agony coursing through his veins mouth open, but unable to utter a sound to convey his distress. Not that it would have done him any good. It was their purpose after all, he was sure they had wanted him to suffer, or at the very least, they didn't care, and he didn't know which one was the worst.
He would be dead, if it wasn't for the affection bestowed upon him by the demon. It seemed that it had found a way to save his life at the last minute, while being sucked out of his body.
He supposed he was lucky Kyuubi had a little bit of a soft spot for him, or maybe it was just a fluke, and the Kitsune didn't intend to save him...Naruto didn't know, but he liked to think it was the first.
They had been totally isolated in their mountain. They had hunted for food, and drank from the river near their training spot, so they weren't really familiar anymore with the happenings of the shinobi world. But, they thought, if something important had happened, even they would have heard of it right?...right.
They were currently walking in the forest surrounding Konoha, side by side, both immerged in their thoughts.
'He's probably thinking about going to the Onsen for his "research". Tsk pervert'
He snickered a little, drawing a curious glance from the larger man. He just shook his head, and resumed his musings.
He wondered what has happened in Konoha in the past three years. Or if his friends were mad at him for up, and leaving without as much as a goodbye.
Even if he was alive, he had been in bad shape when Jirayia found him after the extraction.
Tsunade had said his internal organs seemed to be burned, and he spent a few weeks in the hospital, after she healed him.
He was brutally torn from his musing, however, when he saw Jirayia collapse next to him. He tried to catch him before he touched the ground, but felt something sharp enter the skin of his neck, before he lost consciousness.

He woke up with a start, when a hand harshly smacked him, and glared at the masked man who hit him.
"What the hell? Where am I? And who are you bastard?"
"Shut up" the voice was bland, just as he expected from an Anbu member, "You are to be escorted to the tower. The white haired one is already there."
'Tower? Does that mean I am in Konoha?'
He got up, and followed the masked man. He brought him to the tower, and led him to Tsunade's office.
Naruto noticed the lack of guards in the tower, and wondered if Tsunade had gone crazy.
He didn't know what to think, the citizen, outside had seemed normal, but rather wary when they saw them. And he vaguely noticed that the few glares coming their way, for once were not directed at him, but at the other man.
He saw the man before him knock on the large wooden doors, not waiting for an answer before entering, and he yelped when a kunai embedded itself in the man's mask, before pinning him to the wall behind.
He was shocked, and didn't look away from the man, even as the dead body glided down the wall, leaving a red trail, and very questionable pieces in its wake.
He did however literally run into the room, when he heard a voice, he thought he would never hear again say coldly "Hn, stupid. Should learn how to properly enter a room."
The sight that greeted him inside the room left him speechless.
Sasuke was sitting on the window ledge, hand still in the air after having thrown the kunai that killed the masked Anbu.
Sakura was beside him, looking uncomfortable.
But, it was the third person in the room that made him want to run and hide.
Itachi was seated in Tsunade's chair, hands linked before his chin. His lips curved slightly when he saw Naruto's shocked face.
"Welcome back Naruto-kun, we have been waiting for you."

A/N: New chapter, new fic. I hoped you liked this one. That's what I had in mind when I wrote The Hokage's Bitch, but it didn't come out as planned so I'm making another one with the original idea. This one should be a multi-chapter fic.
Let me know if you like it and feel free to give suggestion if you want to see something happening and if it doesn't lead me away from my plot I'll try and make you happy LOL.
R&R PLZ
