Disclaimer: I don't own anything Naruto related.


"Wow", Naruto said as he took his first glance at his village that he hasn't seen in 3 years. "Did I really used to live here?"

"Of course you did my idiot apprentice." Jiraya stated with a smile. "OOhhhhh , (A/N: When Jiraya goes like OOhhhhhh when he's surprised) Naruto, I'm going to leave you to explore the village. Im going to go explore some women alone…"

With that, Jiraya sprinted off towards a group made up of 5 young women.

"Dirty old hermit." Naruto said. With that, Naruto went off to explore the village that was his home. So, as people could easially guess, Naruto went off to find Iciraku's Ramen. When he got there, he saw a certain blonde haired kunoici that he felt he knew.

"Uh, do I know you?" Naruto said as he sat down staring at her.

The woman just stared at him for a few moments until she noticed who he was. "Naruto!" The woman yelled. "When did you get back?"

Naruto was in the middle of eating miso ramen when he heard her question. "Just this morning" He replied. "But still, who are you?"

"Its me, Ino! Baka!" Ino almost yelled.

"Oh, Ino! How's it been?"

"It would've been better if you remembered me" Ino stated.

"Hehehe, sorry about that," Naruto said apologeticly.

"No problem, well Naruto, I've got to go, I'm going to get back to work at my family's flower shop." Ino stated simply. "Bye!"

"Later!" Naruto yelled as he fiished his third bowl of ramen. "Old man! Another bowl!"

"Wow" Ino thought as she thought about Naruto. "He doesn't seem as bratty and loud-mouthed as usual. Infact, he seems kind of cute… WHAT? Did I just think of Naruto as cute? Gah, the diet ramen I was eating must've been rigged with some drug or something."


"Naruto came back?" Sakura asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Ino simply stated, "And he doesn't seem as bratty as he did when he was 12. In-fact, he seems kind of cute..."

"What?" Sakura yelled, "You of all people find Naruto attractive?"

"Oh no...I wasn't supposed to tell you that. Please keep it a secret. Im BEGGING you! If Naruto finds out, who knows what he'll do!" Ino yelled.

"Don't worry." Sakura said, "Your secret's safe with me".
