We're Going To Have Lots of Fun Doing it All Again!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Happy now?
A/N: I thought it would be good to do a NaruIno for a first fanfic…not sure how this will turn out, but oh well, enjoy.
Prologue
"RASENGAN!"
Naruto formed a ball of swirling blue chakra in his hand and rammed it into his opponent, a Sound-nin who had somehow managed to get into Konoha, steal the Scroll of Seals and escape into the courtyard of the Hokage Mansion. The Sound-nin in question howled in pain and dropped the Scroll of Seals, which rolled onto the grass. Suddenly both scroll and nin disappeared, and poofed into smoke.
"Looking for this?" sneered the Sound-nin from atop a tree, waving the scroll.
"But how…?"
Naruto then realized the Sound-nin must have created a shadow clone, then henged it into the scroll in pretence of fooling the blonde ninja.
"Oh yeah, then see how you like this! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Two other Narutos blinked into existence, and began to mold chakra in their hands.
"FŪTON: RASENGAN!"
The tree the Sound-nin was on was felled with an almighty crash, but the Sound-nin himself was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, Naruto was alerted by a huge fireball in the face.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" shouted the rouge nin. (A/N: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)
"Kawarimi no Jutsu!"
Naruto was instantly replaced with a log, Naruto himself appearing behind the Sound-nin and placing a kunai on his neck.
"Now let's take this nice and slowly. Give me the scroll, or I'm probably going to stick this kunai somewhere you wouldn't like at all." muttered Naruto.
"Go to hell, Kyuubi kid."
"Ok, you've done it now." Naruto took out a pair of senbon needles, and rammed it in between the Sound-nin's legs. The ninja howled in pain, and slipped into unconsciousness.
"At least now he won't be able to make babies anymore."
And with that, Naruto picked up the scroll and shunshined away to the Hokage's office.
Tsunade was in her office doing what all Hokages, present, future and past, despise. Paperwork. Well she was trying to at any rate.
"Hmm…now where has Shizune hidden my sake?" she wondered aloud.
Shizune popped her head in. "You know I wouldn't tell you, even if I wanted to."
All of a sudden, there was a puff of smoke and Naruto stood there holding the Scroll of Seals.
"Hey baa-chan, Shizune-nee-chan! Guess what I found! This ninja from Sound trying to steal our forbidden techniques!"
"Yes, yes I know, I saw it through my Tōmegane no Jutsu. Now go to the room at the end of the corridor outside, and return it to the cupboard it came from."
Naruto nodded, and left the room.
"I wonder, how did shinobi from Sound get into Konoha undetected anyway...? ANBU!"
Shikamaru Nara and Ino Yamanaka appeared in the Hokage's office, both dressed in ANBU garb. Since Naruto had left the village and come back, most of the Rookie 11 had become ANBU's. Both Shikamaru and Ino were examples of these.
"Yes, Hokage-sama?"
"Find Konohamaru and Hanabi, who are in charge of guarding the front entrance to Konoha and bring them to me immediately!" barked Tsunade.
"Yes Godaime-sama".
The two disappeared in puffs of smoke. Tsunade sighed. It had been a long day. She set aside her paperwork and pulled out the latest edition of her favorite magazine, Kunoichi Weekly. She turned to the gambling section and read out loud the winning numbers of the week's lottery.
"…!!!"
"I won!?!?! But…I never win! Oh Kami, I won the lottery! This is NOT normal…something bad is going to happen…the last time I had good gambling luck…Orochimaru turned up…"
She didn't have time to ponder further as Shikamaru and Ino returned with Konohamaru and Hanabi in tow.
"Konohamaru. Hanabi. There has been an intruder within Konohagakure, someone from the Sound actually. Why have you not caught and apprehended him?" she barked.
"I…uh…we didn't know?"
"You two are lucky that Naruto has already incapacitated the intruder. He is being sent to Ibiki at this point. Anything else to say, Konohamaru?"
"Um…it wasn't Hanabi-chan's fault?"
"Hmm…Hanabi-CHAN now is it? Konohamaru blushed three different shades of red. "Just go, and I don't want this ever happening again."
"Yes Tsunade-sama." Konohamaru and Hanabi shunshined away.
"You two may leave as well," Tsunade indicated to Shikamaru and Ino. They left by the front door. Once outside, Shikamaru turned to Ino and said,
"Sorry Ino, but I gotta go now, Temari is waiting for me."
"Ok, no prob."
Naruto reached the aforementioned room, and quickly found the spot the Scroll of Seals was supposed to be in. Much like last time, though, he couldn't resist just peeking in to see what kind of jutsu there would be. The last time, he had found the Shadow Clone Jutsu and had used it to defeat Mizuki. But he had never gone further on to see what kind of jutsu there were.
Unsealing the scroll and looking in, he saw many kinds of jutsu; the Shadow Clone, the Eight Trigrams Sealing and the Dead Demon Seal but most of all, one in particular caught his attention. He thought about all the benefit it would bring to himself and the world if he used it…but then again…it was risky. Was it really worth it? And having to go through everything again…survive all the events. But if he could change something, then he would. He flashed through the handseals, called out a jutsu, and disappeared in a flash of light.
Ino had watched Shikamaru go, and now she was left alone in the corridor. Her mind wandered back to the past, before Pain attacked; before Asuma-sensei died and when the Rookie 11 were all Genin. In particular, she thought of a certain blonde shinobi, and how he had confidently risked his life for everyone in the village. Naruto didn't know it, but Ino had gathered up a respect for him and even admired him to an extent. Hell, if they didn't know better an average person would say Ino was even attracted to Naruto. If that got out, though, she would never hear the end of it. One of the most beautiful kunoichi's in Konoha, falling for a jinchūriki? And everyone knew that Naruto was smitten with Sakura, he had always been. Why forehead…why? Ino sighed.
Ino was abruptly broken out of her trance by a cry at the end of the corridor she was on, which surprisingly…sounded like Naruto. Running, she burst into the room, only to find…the Scroll of Seals. She picked it up, and from reading it, all evidence pointed to only one jutsu, and at that point, Ino knew what Naruto had done. And she couldn't just leave him there. Eventually someone would find out and then things would go horribly wrong. So there was only one thing for it.
Ino's hands flashed through a series of handseals, molding the chakra into wisps of energy. She then called out the final seal, the voice seal.
"Time Travel no Jutsu!"
A/N: Just to clarify, this is set after the invasion of Pain but before the Five Kage Summit arc. Might have used too many line breaks as well... Read and Review! =D
