It had been 3 years since a familiar whiskered faced blonde walked through the streets of his home town. He was walking in peace since no one recognized him underneath his hooded cloak, and considering that in the three years since he left the village he had gone through a massive growth spurt. Now our blonde hero had been walking through the town almost aimlessly until he was standing in front of a huge red building. Recognizing this building instantly he allowed a very mischievous smirk to grace his face before vanishing into the wind.

"HOKAGE-SAMA, AFTER OUR LASTEST SUCCESS MY TEAM NEEDS A NEW, MORE DIFICULT MISSION SO THAT WE MAY SHOW THE WORLD HOW BRIGHT THE FLAMES OF OUR YOUTH BURN." Screamed a large man with a bowl cut and two large flesh eating caterpillars attached to his face.
"YOSH! GAI-SENSEI IS RIGHT AND IF WE SHOULD FAIL SUCH A MISSION THAN WE SHALL RUN ALONG THE OUTER WALL OF KONAHA 300 TIMES DRAGING TWO 1000 POUND BOULDERS ATTACHED TO OURSELVES" yelled a 18 year old clone of his sensei.
"THAT IS RIGHT LEE"
"GAI-SENSEI"
"LEE"
"GAI-SENSEI
"LEE"
At this the three other occupants of the could only sweat-drop as they looked on at this scene still wondering how they got a sunset and crashing waves into the Hokage's office. 'I can't believe that these two blathering idiots are two of our best shinobi' thought the buxom blonde woman sitting behind a very large desk. She had been have a bad day between dealing with the Council, her eternal enemy… Paperwork, and now these two. She began to massage her temples in order to alleviate the headache that these two were giving her.
"You know Baa-chan? I had forgotten just how strange those two were until just now." Said a mysterious man in a hooded black cloak.
"I know it never ceases to amaze me either…" started Tsunade before realizing that there was a new man in her office. It was at this time that team Gai had also taken note and reacted by all four of them throwing a kunai at the man who simply flickered in the same spot before catching the fourth in between two fingers. After another full second Tsunade realized what the man had called her and knew of only one person who called her that. It was at this moment that she lunged out of her chair and wrapped the man in a bone crunching hug.
"Ughh… Tsunade… AHH… Baa- chan… I… can't… breath." Gasped our blonde hero
"Oh sorry about that." Replied Tsunade relaxing the hug she had on her surrogate son. "Oh before I forget what have I told you about calling me that!" she yelled before slamming her fist into the back of Naruto's head. All he saw was his world streak upwards before his head collided with the floor. As he lifted his face out of the crater he made he shock off the dizziness that was accompanied with being hit with such a powerful blow removed his hood finally allowing team Gai to know his identity leaned in and whispered in Tsunade's ear "Now is that anyway to treat the boy who you consider a son kaa-san?" allowing his fox-like grin to grace his features. This caused the most powerful woman in all of Konaha to blush. However, as quickly as it appeared it was replaced by the ticking of her eye as she went to punch the boy again only to see him vanish from sight. He then reappeared behind Tenten using her as a shield then leaned in to her and softly said "I believe you dropped this." Holding out the kunai he had caught balancing it on his index finger.
Now for her part Tenten was not usually a shy girl, but the combination of the close proximity to the blonde, the heat his body was giving off, and his breath tickling the back of her neck could only blush a deep shade of red that would have put Hinata to shame before grabbing the kunai. Upon seeing this Neji only snorted his acknowledgement of the blonde. While Lee's cried "YOSH! MY YOUTHFUL-ETERNAL-RIVAL HAS FINALLY RETURNED FROM HIS MOST YOUTHFUL TRAINING TRIP"
"Huh I'm sorry did you say something Lee" replied Naruto after picking his ear. Upon hearing this Gai shouted "KAKASHI YOUR COOL HIP ATTITUDE HAS FINALLY CORUPTED THE YOUTHFUL FLAMES OF ONE OF YOUR STUDENTS. FOR THIS I WILL SURELY WIN IN OUR NEXT CHALLENGE MY ETERNAL-RIVAL!" As both he and Lee released streams of tears from both eyes, while the two women giggled, and Neji only snorted again.
Stifling her laughter Tsunade looked upon the Uzumaki heir and said "Naruto since you are back in the village now I am going to have to test your new skills so I will know what type of missions that you will be going out on. You are to report to training area 44 in one hour. Is that understood?"
"Yeah yeah I hear you but your test is gonna have to wait until tomorrow. How does 8 sound Baa-chan? There are just some things that I need to do today" replied Naruto with his hand scratching behind his head grinning like a madman.
"God Dammit brat! Am I to understand that you are refusing a direct order form me and JUST HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO STOP CALLING ME THAT!" yelled the Godaime Hokage
"Well your more than welcome to try and force me, but you'll have to catch me first you old hag. Well ja ne" replied Naruto then sticking out his tongue while pulling his eyelid down as well then poofing out of existence revealing him to be a simple shadow clone. At this realization Tsunade slammed her fist down on her desk breaking it in half while the rest of the rooms occupants could only sweat-drop upon see the interactions between the two blondes.
"Shizune Get me Iruka! NOW!" growled Tsunade angrily.

Kakashi was a creature of habit he was always late, always read his porn book out in public, and when he didn't have anything to do went to stare at the same stone alone for hours. Now what most people don't know is the reason why he was always late was because he was always staring at said stone for hours and lost track of the time. Today was no different for the copy-ninja he walked up to the memorial stone silently only today he was surprised to see a tall man concealed by his cloak in front of the stone. Slowly Kakashi walked up next to the man and faced the stone. Both men stood there silently for close to an hour before curiosity finally overcame Kakashi and he turned to face the cloaked man "I don't believe I've seen you here before may I ask who you are here for?" asked Kakashi politely
"Sure you can. That doesn't mean I'll tell you Kaka-sensei" replied the man has he turned to face Kakashi and remove his hood and scratch the back of his head. Kakashi looked at the man with disbelief until he saw the familiar blonde hair, cerulean eyes, and the six whisker marks that adorned his cheeks.
"Oh Naruto it's good to see you're back. Do you have any plans for today?" replied a surprised Kakashi
"Nope no plans for today… and it's good to see you too Kaka-sensei." Said Naruto while still staring off into empty space
"Well that's good why don't we grab some ramen then?" asked Kakashi
"No that's alright I think I'll stay here for now." Said Naruto without the normal enthusiasm in his voice
Naruto's response floored Kakashi and his students tone of voice worried him in a last ditch effort to cheer his student up "Are you sure we'll go to Ichiraku's my treat." Kakashi said enticingly
"Yeah I'm sure." Replied Naruto monotonously "Kakashi-sensei I know that this is your usually where you spend your free time but would you mind leaving me here just for today?" asked Naruto grimly without looking away from the stone
Kakashi looked at his student with a scrutinizing look before giving replying softly saying "Of course Naruto, but allow me to say this standing there all day won't help you should try to live your own life not theirs. Well ja ne." then he disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
