Naruto: I do not own Naruto in any way! *grins*

Disclaimer: I'm supposed to say that…. *glares at naruto*

Naruto: S-scary….. * backs away*

Disclaimer: *sigh* Moving on…. Enjoy the story!

Chapter 1-Acounter: Menma's pov:

'Its been two years that I haven't seen Naruto…', I thought.

'He probably thinks I'm dead already since I blew up that mine in order to save that village before….'

'It wouldn't hurt to visit the Leaf Village and see my friend Naruto… I didn't even get to eat that special ramen he was talking about…'

'Yep maybe I should!' I thought excitedly, 'He would be so surprised!'

I smiled to myself.

As I was lost in my thoughts someone spoke.

"What are you doing here beside the border?"

I turned around.

She froze.

It was Tenten! She looked the same except she had a different outfit. I bet everyone changed a bit…

'I wonder if she notices me….'

She walked up to me slowly.

"It can't be…. Your dead!..." she said in a hushed tone.

" Well, thankfully I survived… " I said.

I was glad she remembered me… It would be a big problem if she thought I was an enemy…

All of sudden a person came out of the bushes…

IT WAS NARUTO!

He had a different outfit too!

" Tenten, Grandma Tsunade said that we had to patrol the border… Why are you just standing there… and who is HE?", he asked.

She didn't move. She just kept staring at me.

He looked at me.

Tears welled up in his eyes. He ran up beside me and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"I thought you were dead….", he said.

He was crying tears of joy.

I looked around.

I was surprised at what I saw! Tenten was crying too!

"Well I'm back now!" I said.

Naruto wiped off his tears. Tenten did too.

"Yep! Lets go to the village! Grandma Tsunade would be so surprised and Neji would be too! And we can eat ramen! Believe it!", he replied.

I smiled and nodded.

He was happy and Tenten was too!

They lead me to the village.

While we were walking Naruto and Tenten filled me in on what happened to the village.

I was shocked. I couldn't believe my ears.

They told me that the village was getting repaired because the village got destroyed by the Akatsuki.

Naruto looked in the distance.

'There was something he was leaving out…' I thought, ' I wonder what it is?'

I pushed that in the back of my mind.

There was more important stuff… like helping out the village.

As we got to the entrance we saw Tsunade.

She was talking to two people.

I assumed that they were jonins because of how they looked.

As we walked towards the entrance she saw us.

She smiled at me.

"Welcome back Menma!" she said.

To be continued…
