Chapter 1: Homecoming
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters involved except for Guardian F. Fire
In a land far, far away. Where ninja were prominent leaders of their respective countries, and the words Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and ninjustsu weren't just fighting styles. There lived a boy, named Naruto Uzamaki.
"It's been two and a half years." Said a young man with blond hair as he and an older man with white hair approached a large set of gates. They were walking along a dirt path.
"Yeah, I wonder how everyone's been doing while we've been gone." Said the white haired man
"So this is your village up ahead? I figured as much when I sensed the massive amount of energy that there'd be a settlement up ahead." Said another young man with red, spiky hair… there was also a young man with spiky red hair walking with the other two…
Meanwhile in the village:
"The target is in sight." Said a male voice
"Roger that, is it the one?" asked a female voice
"A bow on the right ear?" asked the male voice again
"That's it!" shouted a third voice, another male
In Tsunade's office:
"Well, I've gotta get going, the Chunin exams and all," Said Shikamaru, the young Nara-clan member turned to leave.
"Of course, check in when you can," stated Tsunade bridging her fingers under her chin.
"Yeah." He said before exiting "Hey, have you heard from Naruto lately?" he turned slightly to look at the blond-haired, large chested, Hokage.
"No, I haven't, but they should be coming back soon." She said looking up at him
"Alright. Thanks." Shikamaru left leaving Tsunade alone in her office. She put her hands on the armrests on the side of her chair and swiveled around to look out the window onto the village that she'd been leading for the past two and a half years. "Naruto…Jiraya…Come home soon, It'll be good for everyone to see you again."
At the village entrance:
"Well, this is officially the most boring job." Said a first ninja with a bandage over his nose
"Yeah, seriously" said a second with a bandana on his head
At that point Naruto, Jiraya, and their unexpected guest came walking into the village.
"Well whaddya know? Look who's back." Said the first ninja
"Yeah, how long's it been anyway, two and a half years?" asked the second
"Something like that."
"Well, the village hasn't changed a bit." Said Naruto
"Yeah…" Jiraya trailed lost in thought.
"So, this is the hidden leaf village? Interesting." Stated the guest looking around
"What's so interesting?" asked Naruto blank-faced staring at him.
"Nothing, forget it." He said
"You're weird Fire." Naruto replied grinning his classical foxy grin
"Nah, you're weirder Naruto." Said the guest who was apparently Fire, he grinned almost identically
Naruto ignored his comment and dropped his bag on the ground. He used his chakra to run up a pole. Once he reached the top he threw his arms out to the side above his head and shouted "HIDDEN LEAVE VILLAGE! NARUTO UZAMAKI IS BACK!"
