Disclaimer: I do not Own Naruto, though if I did. Do you think I'd be writing fan-fiction?

A/N Hey, I'm not much of a writer or so I think. This would happen to be my first fan-fiction that I plan to complete. The last one was rather a dud though it started out well I never finished it. If I like your reviews and etc I'll make sure to give you a place in the Author Notes section of each and everyone of my chapters. Speaking of which, let the story begin!

Chapter 1: Welcome Home Naruto!

//The Wait\\

Three years after Naruto's departure with Jiraiya has long sense passed and the day for his return was just around the corner. This left most of konoha on ends waiting for his return just inside the main gate.

They were all hoping to give him a surprise greeting, Also hoping to find out rather or not he changed. Tsunade stood just in front of the gate while a line of Naruto's fellow academy students waited just behind her.

The line included even those from the sand village. Gaara and Temare though not as enemies but as friends The sand village and Konaha had come to a truce not long after naruto's departure. The kazekage at the time died and gaara took his place at least that's what tsunade was informed of.

Hinata twiddled her fingers nervously as she normally did while lee simply shouted, "Hurry home Naruto!!" they were all anticipating his arrival but unknown to them he was only a few moments away from the Konoha main gate.

//Outside Konoha\\

"So Jiraiya, what do you think Sakura and the others will think about me?" Naruto asked his sensei hoping for a positive answer though. That wasn't what he had gotten. "They probably would believe you as the same ol' Naruto that left Konoha three years ago."

Naruto sighed in remorse towards the hermit's answer... Naruto didn't leave Konoha to stay the same he wanted to change.. he wanted to be noticed. Everyone save for a select few regarded naruto as the "demon-child" because of the cursed Kyuubi that resided within him. Despite how much Naruto hated them he protected them... or at least tried and without the help of the very Kyuubi they feared Naruto would have died long long ago.

"We're almost their Hun" Naruto placed one hand firmly upon the top of his daughters crania patting her slightly as she smiled holding on tightly to the bottom of her father's shirt.

"Daddy, is your home full of nice people like you?" her voice was soft and high just like that of a child. Her eyes beamed with curiosity hoping to discover friendly people in which she could get along with and for a place to finally call home.

They had been traveling for several days without sleep.. Jiraiya insisted they continue moving less they fall under the attack of missing nin or assassins. They probably wouldn't be in harms way though.. Jiraiya was only concerned about the girl and Naruto only agreed with his plight.

"You see that tall wall where the rather large and Opened gate is?" Naruto pointed towards the Konoha wall that kept out most intruders. He was trying to be sure that his daughter was aware of how large Konoha was. She nodded in reply though Naruto wasn't paying attention he still finished his sentence. "That's my home and it's a verry large village. That wall surrounds the entire thing and it's cut off into three sections, one for the main part of town. Another for the Uchiha Family Clan and another for the Hyuuga." She didn't realy understand what that all meant but still couldn't wait to see what it was like at her father's home and as such giggled slightly.

"Daddy, I can't wait to see it!". Naruto simply smiled in reply as Jiraiya could only help but think. "He's come a long way sense that time three years ago." It would take them about thirty mor minuits to reach the village but the walk... was nothing compared to what would meet them inside.

//Naruto's Arrival\\

Naruto had only just taken a few steps through the village gates followed by Jiraiya. ren'ai was clinging tightly to his leg shaken up due to the large amount of eyes stareing. "Uh.. hiya guys" Naruto spoke in a rather gleeful manner before petting his daughters head.

The others were simply astonished at the changes that were apparent and couldn't help but wonder what more there were. Naruto, was indeed different and the three years worth of training paid off. "Oh, and this is my daughter ren'ai, she's adorable isn't she!" he shouted out as if this were something he had been used to. Completely ignoring the gaze they gave him he'd begin taking a few steps forward though.. his forehead met with the godaime's right hand.

"Hold it right there... you had a child? Who's the mother..." Her eyes drifted up towards Jiraiya, "this is why I shouldn't have allowed you to train the boy." Naruto began to chuckle lightly to himself while rubbing the back of his own head. "There isn't a mother.. I found her and adopted her."

It was as if Tsunades punch did nothing to him and naruto was simply laughing at it. Though that wasn't the case. Naruto was laughing at her assumption seeing as he was still a virgin and would probably remain as such for quite some time. "Well, I suppose you did grow up a little bit." Tsunade meant that as a compliment though the others simply didn't think of it as such.

Naruto had matured greatly and Tsunade just didn't like the idea that the old Naruto was gone. "Naru-- Naruto-kun!" Hinata let the words slip out.. she could speak to him now just not as much as everyone else could.. this also cought Lee's attention. "Naruto! Welcome home!" lee pounced up with his usual speed in order to glomp naruto, however... Naruto only stepped to the side avoiding it. "Haha, too slow lee.."

This caused lee to become flustered and as such he began to swing at Naruto with his top speeds.. At least with the weights on that is. However, despite his efforts Naruto simply evaded them all only to become surprised by a sudden hug from Hinata and Sakura.

"... Guys?" Sakura smiled and gave Naruto a slight peck on the cheek while Hinata decided to be bold enough to press her lips against Naruto's... both of their faces grew to a bright red tint. "Umm... uh… What was that all about you two?" Sakura shook her head and looked down while Hinata only started to walk away...

Naruto was still ever so ignorant as to what the actions meant and as such took a hold of ren'ai's arm and began to walk away towards his old house. "you get to see your knew house Hun." This filled ren'ai with glee and only caused her to smile more brightly than she had in a long time. "Yay, thank you daddy... I'm glad to have you as my father, you're so kind!" Naruto couldn't help but smile as they made their way towards his house.

// ren'ai finally sleeps.\\

Upon entering their house naruto couldn't help but frown. He knew ren'ai hadn't slept in a long while. "ren'ai sweetheart, aren't you tired?" Naruto would ask her knowing she was he simply didn't want to force her to bed.

"Yes daddy... will you sleep next to me?" She yawned heavily giving out a rather cute expression as she began tugging on Naruto's shirt.

"Well of course." Naruto replied only to take a hold of her arm once more. This time walking her into the back room where his bed rested unused for years." It's nice to be home," he thought to himself as he gave out his own yawn.

ren'ai would remove herself from Naruto's grip only to make a large pounce onto the bed... Naruto followed her, curling ups next to his daughter trying to cuddle in order to give her a sense of comfort. However, to Naruto's surprise she was fast asleep though... it shouldn't have been as much of a surprise as it was. After all, they had been walking for what seemed ages but was only three days.

After Naruto realized she had fallen asleep due to her adorable snoring.. he'd slowly remove his self from the bed as to make his way into the dining room where he would begin the cleaning of his house. The once sloppy Naruto was no more.
