I do not own Naruto, all rights belong to Masashi Kishimoto

Even though he's a troll and doesn't give us enough NaruHina in the actual anime/manga! ^^

Oh, and just so you know when I use multiple ''''''''' it means it's entering a flashback.


Naruto walked up to the gates he knew lead to Konoha

'Am I glad to be back? Is this really the best choice?'

As soon as he dissected the situation his nerves got a hold of him and caused him to walk back to where he came from. As soon as his head was turned he heard a voice:

"Naruto, it's been a while."

He turned back and at once was glad to be back home

"Kakashi-sensei!"

"I've been judging the status of my eye, but have you been training seriously? You're no longer the annoying kid I sent off with Jiraiya."

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?"

Naruto hadn't noticed that he changed so much, but the taller now more sculpted Naruto obviously grew up in the right way.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"Hurry up Naruto! You'll never get girls that way! Especially Sakura!"

Naruto blushed at the statement.

"Shut up ero-sennin, it's not like you're gotten girls with that pervy attitude!"

He quiet down and focused more on his training

'He's right though, I need to return to Konoha as a man good enough for Sakura.'

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

As the memories fade out, he begins to wonder.

"Hey speaking of which, where is Sakura?" blushing a bit, Kakashi chuckled.

"She's out training with Tsunade, she's gotten very strong you know."

"Oh well, I won't interrupt her. I'll walk around and see who else I can find."

As Naruto turned around, Kakashi was already gone. Naruto kept walking, remembering the events that had occurred with his team 7.

He walked up the street and caught sight of a boy about his age but his face covered and obviously unidentifiable.

"Oh, Naruto. This is a surprise."

"Ermm…yeah! Hey…you….buddy…"

Embarrased while punching the man's arm softly.

"How was your training?'

"Oh, it was fine I-"

"-Shino!"

Naruto heard a voice behind him and automatically remembered the bug loving boy he had in front of him.

"Hey Kiba, look Naruto is back."

"Oh, hey…" Kiba looked away

"Come on we're training, they're waiting.

Naruto walked away seeing as they were also in the middle of training. As he walked, he moves in front of a super market and witnesses the exit of a woman that went to purchase a bottle of water.

"Wow, she's so beautiful. Is this a new face her in Konoha?"

In the middle of the thought he turned dark red and was startled at the scream behind him.

"HINATA! HURRY UP WITH THAT WATER!"

"COMING KURENAI SENSEI!"

Naruto became redder than ever, with a sweat to go with it.

"H-Hinata?" he thought, in wonder as to why he felt so embarrassed yet nervous at the sight of her.


Hey so how was that? Sorry if they're a bit out of character but this is my first time writing so bear with me! Wondering why Kiba is acting so weird? Is Naruto finally discovering his feelings? Tune in next chapter to find out!

I totally sounded like a commercial didn't I, anyway, hope you liked it~
