Naruto Empire
Episode 1: The Legend Begins!
Summary: (NarutoXJade Empire) Naruto left on a journey to go around the world, learning and mastering Jutsu, while also looking for Sasuke, whom had vanished after he defeated his brother, Itachi, claiming that he couldn't return to the leaf village for betraying it, until one day...when three strangers appear at the village gates...
The years had gone fast at the leaf village and very little had actually changed there, a few new buildings were up and some old ones were torn down, the Ichiraku ramen stand was no longer there as he had now opened up an actual restaurant/tea house. It was now peaceful times in the 5 nations of shinobi, where an alliance had been formed and kept the nations in peace, allowing trade of goods of one nation to be found in other nations and allowing the safe passage of shinobi between nations. Naruto had left the village many years ago, claiming that he wanted to go and learn more jutsu to become stronger so he could beat Tsunade and become Hokage, but they all knew that his main purpose was to find Sasuke, whom had left the village alone and left Suigetsu and Karin there, claiming that he could never return to the village, until he made up for the sins of his life.
Hidden Leaf Village, 4 years ago
Sasuke stood outside the gates of the leaf village, wearing his old Uchiha clothing, as Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi stood behind him, watching him and waiting for him to say something, but all he did was stand there, before beginning to walk towards the gate once again.
"Sasuke!! Where the hell are you going?" Naruto said, as Sasuke stopped and turned his head to look at Naruto, "You defeated Itachi and Orochimaru and Akatsuki is too weak to launch an attack, you don't have to leave"
"I still have one enemy left to defeat, you dobe" Sasuke said, "My own sins"
"Sasuke, just forget about the past, please!" Sakura begged, "We already lost you once and now that you're back, we can't lose you again"
"I can't...I just can't be in this village with the sins of my life still in me" Sasuke said, "Until I can make up for them, I will not be able to come back to this village"
"Sasuke...you are the last of the Uchiha clan and the only one that can revive your clan" Kakashi said, "Remember that if you die, so does any chance of the Uchiha clan ever being restored back to their rightful place in the order"
Sasuke nodded and began to walk out of the village gates, before suddenly vanishing in a puff of smoke, to which Naruto and Kakashi left the front gate, as Sakura stood there, watching the gate, day and night, for any sign of Sasuke coming home.
Hidden Leaf Village, 3 years ago
Naruto stood out at the gate now, behind him was Shikamaru, Hinata, Kiba, Neji, Rock Lee, TenTen, Ino, Choji, Shino, Kakashi, Guy, Kurenai, Sakura, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, whom stood there, as Naruto stretched and straightened his backpack, before turning towards everyone and waving at them, smiling.
"Well, I'm off" Naruto said, as he ran out of the gate and vanished
"Can someone tell me again, why he had to go on a journey to go learn and master new jutsu?" Kiba asked, "and why he couldn't take any of us along with him to train as well?"
"He lied" Kakashi said, "Other than you, I think everyone else knows why he left"
"He went to find Sasuke" Shikamaru said, "He lied to do that so he doesn't have to worry about time"
"True, but will he be able to bring Sasuke back?" Guy asked, "Sasuke did state that he was never going to return unless he makes up for his sins"
"I trust Naruto, if there's one person that I think can make Sasuke come back to the village, it's him" Kakashi said, "Naruto didn't get labled as the Number one hyperactive knucklehead Ninja for no reason, he'll bring Sasuke back"
Hidden Leaf Village, Present Day
Suigetsu had finished slipping on his clothing and walked out of the exam room, he wore a leaf headband and was now a shinobi of the leaf village, but he had to go to the hospital once a week, in order for them to work on regenerating the cells in his body to hold a solid form without having him to constantly drink water to prevent him from turning into his liquid form. Tsunade was extremely stressed out, from studying on regenerating the cells to hold a solid form to having to deal with the troubles and deals of being the Hokage was pushing her buttons and bringing her close to a meltdown. Karin is now a Chunin and leads tracking groups to help locate people that are wanted and capture them, splitting the reward amongst the group. Kakashi's life had changed alot, he was now a Sannin and was supposed to show more responsibility and be a more rule-strict ninja, but he didn't change and was still the same Kakashi, but now a sannin ranking ninja.
Ichiraku Ramen and Tea House
It was a busy day today at Ichiraku Ramen and Tea house because of a huge party being thrown by Guy and Kurenai, not just for Kakashi making the rank of Sannin, but for Rock Lee, Shikamaru, and Sakura for making it to the rank of Jonin and passing the Jonin exams. They had gotten a private room for their small party and everyone was sitting in the room, enjoying their little celebration for passing one of the toughest exams ever taken in their lives, and to get their minds off of their new responsibilities as Jonin, but little do they know of what surprises that will happen today.
Hidden Leaf Village Gate
Izumo and Kotetsu sat in the small booth that was near the gate, bored out of their mind as they had watched different types of people, from nobles and peasant farmers, to traders and official dictators enter the village and nothing interesting happen, but suddenly looked up to see three cloaked men walk into the village, suddenly alerting them into action and immediately stood up.
"Hey! you three, please come here to the booth!" Kotetsu said
The one that stood in the middle stopped and then motioned for the three to follow and they walked over to the booth, standing in front of the two Chunin, whom kept alert and waiting to see if they do anything to attempt to do anything to incapacitate them.
"We wish to ask you a few questions, not to be rude, but the leaf village has suffered alot of problems with enemies sneaking in" Izumo said, "We just wish to know what your business is here in the hidden leaf village?"
"We are just simple travellers that hail from the Jade Empire on a journey to see the world" one of them said, "We wish to enter your village to seek residence for a while and rest our weary bodies, will you allow us entrance?"
"You hail from the Jade Empire? you are a long ways from home" Kotetsu said, "Why do you seek selter in our village?"
"The hospitality and kindness of the hidden leaf village is known all the way in the Jade Empire" the same one said, "and you can put back your shuriken and kunai, for we are no threat to you, like I said, we are just travellers, seeking residence for a while"
Kotetsu and Izumo looked shocked, but then sighed and nodded, "alright, you may enter the village" Kotetsu said, "but can I know your names before you enter the village"
"very well, I am Master Tien" the same one said, "These two are my Students, Give the guard your name"
"Sasuke Uchiha" one of them said
"Naruto Uzumaki" the other one said
"Okay, I got your names, enjoy the village and if you are looking for something to eat, then that big building is your place" Kotetsu said, "That is Ichiraku Ramen and Tea House, it used to be a small ramen stand, but the owner, Teuchi, expanded and built that huge place to hold more customers"
"thank you" Master Tien said, "Have a good day"
Master Tien, Sasuke, and Naruto walked out into the village, heading towards Ichiraku Ramen and Tea House, while Kotetsu and Izumo sat back down and watched the gate, before they began to think about the group that just came in and why the names Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were so familiar, but it wasn't until 25 minutes later, when they suddenly remembered whom Naruto and Sasuke were, and Kotetsu immediately went running straight towards the Hokage's office, to inform her of the news, running into Suigetsu and Karin, whom were shocked to see him running straight towards the hokage's office and followed him there as well, as he ran straight into the Hokage's office, shocking both Tsunade and Shizune.
"What is the meaning of this?" Tsunade said, annoyed, "I was about to take a na-, I mean, work on this paperwork!"
"Lord Hokage! I have something important that I must tell you" Kotetsu said, "Naruto and Sasuke! They have returned!"
Ichiraku Ramen and Tea House
Master Tien, Sasuke, and Naruto walked into Ichiraku and stood there, as a young girl walked over towards them and bowed at them, before smiling and looked around the place to see where she could seat them so they could order their food and eat.
"welcome to Ichiraku, is this a party of three?" the girl asked
"Yes, do you happen to have a private room, where we can sit and relax, without the noise out here?" Master Tien asked
"Yes, we have private rooms available, would you like one?" The girl asked
"Yes, that would be nice" Master Tien said
The girl nodded and began to lead them up a small flight of stairs, up to the second floor and then up to the third floor, where she walked over to a room and opened the door, as Master Tien, Sasuke, and Naruto walked into the room and sat down, then the girl walked in and bowed again, before looking at them and smiling.
"What would you like to start off with?" the girl asked
"Some normal and green tea" Master Tien said, "are you guys hungry as well?"
"Yea, some ramen, eggrolls, rice, and Dumplings would be nice" Sasuke said
"Okay, some spicy dumplings, fried and normal rice, Eggrolls, and Miso and Pork Ramen" Master Tien said, "That will be all"
"Very well, I will get your stuff up here as soon as possible and I am sorry if any noise bothers you" The girl said, "There is a small celebration going on in the private room next to yours, for three shinobi whom made it to the rank of Jonin"
"okay" Master Tien said
The girl walked out of the room and within a few minutes later, came back up here and immediately began putting everything onto the table, the fried and normal rice, eggrolls, miso and pork ramen, spicy dumplings, and the normal and green tea, before bowing and closing the door again, as Naruto immediately began devouring his bowls of Ramen. Master Tien poured himself a cup of green tea and began to sip on it, releasing a breath of relaxation, as he drank some more of the green tea, while Naruto ate his ramen and Sasuke began eating some of the spicy dumplings.
"Naruto, you've been silent ever since we got here" Master Tien said, "I can sense that some stressed feelings awoke within you"
"I bet it's about Hinata and how he now knows about how much she loves him" Sasuke said, as Naruto stopped suddenly, before continuing to eat, "That dobe didn't even know about it at all and now he's scared that Hinata may have finally given up on him and gone with someone else"
"Ah, so the Siren's song has struck one of my students?" Master Tien said, "Will you inform the girl of your feelings? or act like a googling idiot whenever she gets near you"
"Probably the second one" Sasuke said
"Shut up!! I'll do something bigger than just asking her out!" Naruto said, finally breaking his silent, "Just watch me, Believe it!"
Private Room #2
Kakashi was sitting at the head of the table, drinking some regular tea and his face was covered with the latest copy of Make Out Tactics, while Sakura sat there and chatted with Kurenai, Ino and TenTen, Rock Lee was busy discussing the Burning passion of Youth with Guy, Neji was wishing he was somewhere else, Choji was eating his 16th bown of Ramen, Shikamaru was sitting with Hinata and playing a game of Shogi, Shino was watching the Shogi match, and Kiba was sitting against a wall, waiting for Hinata to finish the game so he could tell her that he wants to be her boyfriend.
"Well, this is a very nice party" Kakashi said, looking up, "seems like everyone's actually having a good time"
"well, it's needed since they just got done with the most difficult exam, Kakashi" Guy said, "They don't call the Jonin exams 'The Devil's Test' just to spook the chunin taking it"
"Not to mention that this is also to congratulate you, Mr. Sannin" Kurenai teased, "Does this mean that two Sannin in our ranks are perverts?"
"First of all, just because I am a sannin doesn't mean that I have changed" Kakashi stated, "Secondly, I perfer the term "Eroticist" then being called a pervert"
"Kakashi, the one thing that I have never been able to top from you is your pervertedness" Guy said, giving his trademark grin, "Until now, I have finally found a way to top your pervertedness, I am going to be Homosexual!"
"So am I!" Lee said, "We will defeat your pervertedness with our homosexuality!"
Everyone had just went dead silent, as they all turned to look at Guy and Rock Lee with complete shocked faces on their faces, even making Kakashi put down his book and Shikamaru couldn't even say that it was troublesome, because he was completely speechless.
"Bullshit, Guy-sensei" Neji said, "I know that you got engaged to an old academy sweetheart a few days ago"
"If there's one thing that I know about you, Neji" Guy said, "You have never been able to stand a joke"
"So, you finally got engaged?" Kurenai asked, "Whom is the lucky girl"
"You wouldn't know her, she and I met when I was in the academy" Guy said, "We met again a year ago and after dating and all that, we got engaged a few weeks ago"
Ichiraku Ramen and Tea House
Tsunade, Suigetsu, Karin, Koharu, and Homura walked into the building, not for food, but to see if they could find Naruto and Sasuke, since they had just finished checking all of the hotels in the village, to see if they were resting in a hotel room, but they didn't find them in any hotel. Ayame and Teuchi immediately spotted Tsunade and the others walk in and went to go welcome them, as Karin quickly used her abilities to check to see where Naruto and Sasuke were, but she couldn't spot them anywhere in the room, as Ayame and Teuchi reached them and bowed.
"Lord Hokage and Elders, It is an honor for you to come to our restaurant" Teuchi said, "Let me take you to a private room so you can dine in privacy"
"We haven't come to eat, we came here seeking three men, whom walked in here and came to eat" Tsunade said, "Did anyone come in here, they were wearing Cloaks when they came in here"
"Let me check, we only have a few waiters and waitresses working today" Ayame said, as she walked into the back
"You built an excellent restaurant, Teuchi" Koharu said, as she looked around, "This all is different from your old stand that used to be near the village entrance"
"Thank you, Elder, I am happy that we were finally able to expand" Teuchi said, when Ayame came walking up
"Yes, three cloaked men came in here earlier and they asked for a private room and were given one on the third floor" Ayame said, as a waitress stood beside her, "this girl is their waitress and is about to go check if they need anything else, so she'll take you to them"
The waitress bowed and began walking up the stairs towards the third floor, followed by Tsunade, Suigetsu, Karin, Koharu and Homura and after a long trip up the stairs, were standing in front of the room, as the waitress opened the door and stood there, as the three were sitting there, silent.
"Waitress, we need some more green and normal tea, along with some more eggrolls, fried rice, spiced dumplings, and 3 more bowls of both Miso and Pork Ramen" Master Tien said
"Yes sirs, let me clean this up for you" The waitress said, as she gathered up the dishes and then left, "I'll bring your stuff in a few minutes"
"Well, if you five are going to be there, you might as well come in" Sasuke said, surprising them, "Fifth Hokage, Suigetsu, Karin, Elders Koharu and Homura"
The five walked into the room and sat down arond the table, as the waitress came in and set some more food down, more than they ordered and then stated that the rest was from Teuchi and that the meal would be complimentary, then left, as Master Tien poured himself another glass of green tea and began to drink.
"So, it looks like it's true, you two did return" Homura said, "Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki"
The two looked at Master Tien, whom nodded and they took off their cloaks, shocking everyone at their changes, Naruto looked like a man, with a light beard on his face and his hair was now longer and it made him look like a exact copy of a young Fourth Hokage. Sasuke's eyes had a different look in them, they now had a look of happiness in them, instad of a look of a man with vengance in his eyes, his hair was the same that it was before he left and he wore a small smile on his face, somethng that was new to the boy's face.
"It is very nice to see you both again, but our manners escape us" Koharu said, "We have a guest here, please sir, tell us your name"
"My name is Tien, if you'd perfer a title, It can be Furious Tien, which I got from my parents naming me after the two greatest people in the Jade Empire, The legendary Spirit Monk, Furious Ming, and the First emperor, Sagacious Tien" Master Tien said, "or it could be the title that I am used to being called, Master Tien, Master of the Jade Arts"
