Ch 1

It was a beautiful day in Konoha. Everyone was cheery and the skies were clear blue. Everything was great.

Across the way in the ninja academy, it was hosting a rookie- reunion. It wasn't for just one set of rookies though. It was for the rookies in the past twenty years.

If you really thought about it, it all made sense. So very few ninja actually make it past their first five years of being a shinobi.

So, even though it was a reunion for twenty years their actually weren't very many people. There was Kakashi, Kurenai, the latest rookies for the past five years, and the hokage (The others are unknown, and frankly, I don't care about them.). So where you should ask is our one famous knuckle-headed ninja? He was in his apartment unpacking all of his belongings back into their designated areas. Why? He has been gone for another 2 and a half years.

After he had come back from his first training mission he had stayed in Konoha for a bout 6 months. Then he had been assigned another training session. After his missions to save Gaara, and rescue Sasuke, the Hokage had deemed him to "unexperienced", so he had to go with Jaraiya... again... to train.

Now that he was back, he had only just discovered that there was a reunion. Something he really didn't want to go to. It wasn't that he'd become anti-social, it was... he didn't think he could face being the only one there.

Now he was nineteen. His hair had grown out to the point where it was past his ears at the sides, and his bangs were almost in his eyes, while the rest sort-of hung along the sides of his face. Jaraiya had even gone far enough to call him "little yondy". Something Naruto didn't appreciate at all.

On the other side of town, in the academy, Jaraiya himself was telling Tsunade of Naruto's progress.

"You'll really be surprised." He said.

"I should hope so, Jaraiya. Otherwise you'll just have to leave again for another two-and-a-half years." she replied.

Jaraiya smiled. "Don't worry."

By now all of the other ninja in the room who didn't know who this "Naruto" was, were wondering if he really was so great (the newbies of the latest few years).

Others, such as... say... the Konohamaru Corps! Couldn't wait to see their "hero".

"I wonder how much stronger he's gotten!" whispered one Moegi.

"Boss won't disappoint us, just wait!" guess who that was.

Udon, the only one to actually think things critically said, "Do you think since he's, what? Nineteen? We won't recognize him?"

"There's no way that would happen!" Both Konohamaru and Moegi shouted.

Everyone turned towards them. "Ehehehe..." they both looked sheepish. "Bakas..." was Udon's reply.

Jaraiya recognized them. "Don't worry. He's definitely not what you'd expect." Then without looking for a reply, turned around and spoke to the room. "Okay chibi's!" All of the latest rookies looked livid. "You're all going to help us." vaguely interested looks. "When I say, 'It took you long enough to get get here, Naruto' all of you are going to go up and glomp the person in the door. He's been gone for a few years and he hasn't seen anyone he knows yet."

A smallish boy in the back raised his hand. "What's a 'glomp'?"

A tall girl looked at him as if he was an idiot. "What? You've never seen those girls that always chase a guy around and then jump on him?"

The guys shuddered. Fangirls.

"Here let me demonstrate" The girl then proceeded to jump a teacher sending them both to the ground.

Everyone winced. They all now felt sorry for whoever had only just gotten home.

... with Naruto...

Naruto walked to the academy. He took in all of the new buildings, all of the ones that had been removed. He noticed a newly painted house there. The new vendor here. It was all a lot to take in but he planned to be here for awhile. So he would have it all down by the end of the week.

As he walked in the main entrance to the academy, he sneezed. Naruto had never been the superstitious guy, but the shiver that went up his spine definitely gave him his doubts.

He headed to the room that was going to hold the reunion. He listened at the door. He only heard the regular chatter that comes with seeing someone you haven't seen in awhile. He paused. His suspicion not fully quenched. Oh well, Uzumaki Naruto was never one to beat around the bush.

He opened the door.

"It took you long enough to get here, Naruto" everyone looked towards him. He had a bad feeling about this. Nonetheless, he attempted to answer his eyes never leaving the people who were slowly inching towards him.

"I had a lot to unpac-" He was cut off as the mob ambushed him.

////// Room's point of view///

They had all gathered conversation. After the rather strange order that had to be reinforced by the Hokage to insure that all of the older teens would do the "Class-A mission", they all tried their best to look and sound natural.

The Konohamaru Corps had all gathered evil looks at the mention of the attack on their boss, and had left saying they had some tools to gather. They had yet to be seen again. Leaving everyone with a sense of unease.

Suddenly they heard the classic line: "Took you long enough to get here Naruto"

They all turned and quieted. There stood a boy in his very late teens with blond hair, blue eyes, and some weird marks on his face. They took in his casual clothing and wondered if he really was a ninja. He was wearing villager clothing. But a quick check at the ninja- holster on his hip changed there minds. He was obviously prepared.

They all subtly as they could made their way towards him.

He tried to answer "I had a lot to unpac-"

They were on him!

Hehe! Lookie what i did 2 u! I left you just as he was just about to get glomped! Bet ur wishing 2 know what happened... nothing doing! Not till i at least get 1 review! Right! And i will check!
