Min- chan
A man travels the world over the search of what he needs and returns home to find it"
George A. Moore
Travel is one of my favorite parts of being a ninja. Before the academy I have had never the opportunity of getting out the cold glares of the villagers; so obviously I grown fond of travel since the beginning. It gave me the chance to let people see me as I am, not just as scandalous brat with whiskers marks on his face or the demon boy or the typical prankster ; although I can say I still like to do a few pranks to Iruka or Konohamaru when I'm home.
At the beginning missions were awesome; team 7 was at his best. During some of our travels I met new people and create new bonds that are still there, even now that I'm Hokage, got myself crazy princesses after me, the name of one bridge, and got myself in jail, yeah pretty much all the adventure one can ask for. When the years passed, ninja missions became more dangerous each one was worse than the other. It was just not another game anymore it was survinving skills and fight for your life kind of thing, sometimes you could even lost a comrade or fight with a devil genius, either way traveling wasn't just about getting to know places or people was about gathering information and protecting the ones you love.
Once of my most cherished memories of my now dead sensei were our trips. Ero- sennin may have been a pervert but he could always make a travel relaxing. He knew the best inns around and obviously the best's bath houses. I'm still missed him when I need to move to the other villages or to boring negotiations (Who knew this job will be boring). If he was here I'm pretty sure he would have let me get out from a few, not like Tsunade Baa-chan, she always make me stay put in my seat but I love her (actually more than all I'm afraid of her fists).
Even now I can't travel alone, there always a bunch of ANBUS following even if they think that I can't sense their chakra. I supposed they are afraid of me escaping, thought it might be a little difficult now. Because I could never abandoned the will of fire, as I could never abandon the village despite some suffering in my younger days; Konoha is still part of my heart and I have bow to protect every citizen of it. As the orange Hokage. The one and only…
"Welcome home, Naruto-kun"
"Tadaima, Hinata chan" Yes and this is way I always come back home, to my hime and…
"Otou-san, Jiraiya did't let me use the special kunais"
"Of course I did it, Otou-san, Hitomi just doesn't know where she leave them"
"No you didn't (Byakugan), uhm gomen yes they are under the couch"
"hpm, you gonna buy me some ramen for that"
"Dinner is ready; Jiraiya and Hitomi please wash your hands"
"Hai Oka-san"
"So don't I need to wash my hands too, Hinata-chan?" (I still love to tease her)
"You have been gone for a week Naruto-kun, I think we need a little time for ourselves, ne Naruto-kun?"
"Dinner on our bed?" I move my eyebrows suggestively. She nods. In a flash were gone.
Moments like these remind me that I don't need to travel too much, I had already found home.
