She was in shock, looking at the gates to Kumogakure, the village hidden in the clouds, that had just closed in front of her... forever. The council, the civilian one at least was filled with corrupt elders who only liked her for the power she had, the power of the Nibi no Bakaneko, the two tailed demon cat. When she had refused a "long term S-rank mission" to help "bolster the ninja forces of the village" as the elders had put it, they had threatened her with her life, and the only reason she wasn't dead was because of Killer Bee, A, Darui, Cee, and their power in the village. But they still couldn't keep her from exile as an S-ranked missing nin, with a kill on sight order. The bastards on the council wouldn't even allow her to go to her home in the village and get her clothes... hell the council debated on if they should have taken the clothes and money she had on her.

She was homeless, she was a Jinchūriki, and she was currently in shock. She was Yugito Nii, and she was dead if she didn't leave lightning country by nightfall. This was hell for her seventeen year old mind. But their was one very clear thought in it, Konohagakure.

Naruto was happy, no, ecstatic to be home after 3 years of training. So happy in-fact that he stood up on a light post and shouted that the next Hokage was back. Of course no one paid attention to him... well not until Sakura came out of nowhere with Konohamaru, Udon, and Mogie to congratulate him on being home.

"Boss, your back" called the Konohamaru Corp. (Team Esbiu) and started to show him how much they'd improved over the three years that they'd been away, staring with Naruto own jutsu the, the Sexy no Jutsu. (pretty much cannon first episode for Naruto)

"Awwww come on Ero-sennin" Naruto whined "We have been back for three week and I haven't even gotten a D-rank, please just ask Tsunade-baachan. Ple-"

"No gaki, talk to her yourself, or go wander around the training grounds, I was gone for three years and only got to do my research for about half of that, I have to catch up on it. For I, the amazing toad sage Ero-, damn it gaki now you got me calling my-self that." Jiraiya cursed at the blonde Jinchūriki. "Tsunade-hime is letting you wander the land of fire at will so go look for something to do." Naruto left rather dejectedly until he heard Konohamaru (undoubtedly in Sexy Jutsu mode) call out innocently "Hey, why is that old man looking through the fence at us?" "Jiraiya!" Naruto snickered when he heard Sakura's scream of his perverted father figures name, because if their was one thing Naruto learned on his first day in the village, Sakura could hit just as hard as the Hokage.

Yugito was cold, wet, tired, and several other adjectives she did not want to think about as she was on the final stretch to Konoha, but with no food for two and a half weeks, well she was bound to collapse at some point. She was just lucky that she was in training ground twenty two, albeit unknowingly, at the time she did. But she could see the gates and hear the village at the point she collapsed. She was ready to just give in to darkness and hope she woke up some where better before a green blur came in, followed by an orange blur and they appeared to be... fighting? They stopped soon enough, and they turned out to be people, undoubtedly jōnin judging by the speed they were moving at. She sighed when the orange clad one seemed to see her and finally lost consciousness.

"Damn it kit listen to me for once!" The Kyuubi no Kitsune (Nine tailed fox) roared in Naruto head. "Stop fighting this flesh sack and listen or I swear I will flood your system with my chakra!" The Fox growled out. Naruto reluctantly agreed and said to Lee "Yo, Bushy Brows, the fuzzbutt is threatening to flood me with his chakra, so lets stop for a moment" "FINE NARUTO, BUT LET US NO LET OUR FLAMES OF YOUTH DAMPEN TO MUCH BEFORE WE BEGIN AGAIN!" Screamed the ever enthusiastic Rock Lee. "Finally, kit there is definitely another Bijuu around here, and close, I... Its mata- I mean the Nibi... and I believe if you turn your head about sixty degrees left, you'll see her container." Muttering about delusional foxes in his gut, Naruto did what he was told and saw what had to bee one of the most beautiful girls he'd ever seen, ignoring the blood and dirt on her. She was definitely passed out, and it looked like she had on a Kumo forehead protector... and she needed to get to the hospital, so Ignoring the slow blush that came with touching her, Naruto picked her up and stared roof hoping to the hospital, and by that extension Tsunade, the best med-min in the world.
