One thing you should know before reading this is I don't own Naruto. I know I'm as shocked as you! I heard it's own by Masashi Kishimoto and this company Shonen Jump. Anyway thanks for coming here I don't know why you're here, but thanks for dropping by. Hey maybe you'll review too if you like it, add it to your favorites, tell friends, make it famous online……ok maybe not famous I settle for semi-famous. Anyway enjoy this story like Naruto enjoys a big bowl of ramen.

Story of the 7th & 8th Hokage:
It has been sixteen years since Orochimaru has been defeated by Naruto and company and the spell that had bind Sasuke to Orochimaru has been broken. Naruto has become the 7th Hokage and has married with children. The rest of Nauto's fellow classmates have moved on and have families of their own. Konoha the Village Hidden in the Leaves and Suna the Village Hidden in the Sand have cemented a strong alliance. All has been well for the past sixteen years, but peace is only a word and it can be broken as easily as a twig…
Main Cast: (Introduced this chapter)
Naruto Uzumaki: Age 30, rank Hokage; besides being older he now has a scar under his right eye. He has mastered many moves since his days as a Genin. He has mastered controlling the Kyubi chakra and it blends with his natural chakra now. He's still a fun loving guy and when no one is looking he'll leave a shadow clone to take care of handing out missions and while he goes and grabs a bowl of ramen at Ichiraku. (That is the right name and spelling right?)
Sakura Haruno Uzumaki: Age 30, rank Jonin, head Medical Ninja; her hair is a little longer, but not really much different about her. Her strength has even surpassed even Tsudane in Taijutsu. She has learned many new medical ninjutsu as well as new offense and defensive techniques, the latter taught by Naruto. She tries to be a strict mother, but the kids get Naruto to butter her up. When she is not busy she usually can be found at Ino's shop drinking tea and laughing it up. Recently she has been having a difficult time sleeping because of nightmares…
Riza Uzumaki: (mention) Age 11, DOB March 10, rank student; hair is the same as her mothers while her eyes are blue just like dad, also has the seal mark in the middle of her chest. Her personality is pretty much like her father because she too likes to play pranks. She snuck into her father's office and read the same secret scroll her father had as a kid. She mastered the art of the Shadow Doppelganger and the art of the Hiding Chameleon before Naruto caught her. The Art of the Hiding Chameleon allows the person using this technique to become camouflage in with their surroundings. She mainly uses this technique to hide from her parents when she is in trouble. She also learned some Ninja-Med techniques from her mother.
Yoshi Uzumaki: (mention) Age 8, DOB August 24, rank student; a small spitting image of his father straight down to the whiskers. His eyes are green and is almost a genius about ninjutsu, but he also has bit of a Naruto streak in which not only did he find the scroll with the "Ninja Centerfold" he showed it to his male teachers during causing them to pass out from the nosebleeds. He has the seal as well on the palm of his right hand which he covers with fingerless gloves.
Sasuke Uchiha: Age 32, rank Jonin head of Black Ops; Lot of changes to him. His left arm was burnt during his fight with his brother he covers it with a long sleeve and a glove to cover the scars. His other sleeve is short and he carries a sword on his back. The only he other thing is that he is missing part of his right ear which he lost during a mission. He is married to Temari to help bring peace between the Sand and Leaf villages.
Temari Uchiha: Age 35; rank Jonin part of the secretary pool at the Hokage office. No much change about Temari she even wears similar clothes and has the same hairdo. Married Sasuke under orders from Garra to solidify a new peace agreement with the Leaf village, she is surprised that Sasuke was the one who volunteered he just replied "that she would help produce a strong heir for the Uchiha Clan and that she was… cute…." She is presently pregnant with Sasuke's second child.
Gohan Uchiha: (mention) Age 12, DOB January 11, rank student; Heir to the Uchiha Clan and just as cocky and arrogant as his father except when he is in front of Riza in cases like that he is shy and nervous. He hates Juan who is his rival at the school, but they mostly fight over who gets to eat lunch with Riza. Looks like his father at his age.
Shikamaru Nara: (Mention) Age 30; rank Chunin, teaches Ninjutsu to students at the school and helps heal injured shinobi at needed. He is the teacher of his son Juan, Riza, Gohan, and many other children of his former school mates. His personality is pretty much the same. He is one of Naruto's trusted friends. He also seems embarrassed that his wife makes more money than he does. Since his wife owns a store and has connections with the other shop keeps he usually has to go out of town to find her gifts usually referring to it as being real troublesome. When people joke about how bossy she is to him he just smiles and says, "It's been like that since we were kids on the same team and I wouldn't change it now either."
Ino Yamanaka Nara: (mention) Age 30; rank Chunin, but mostly stays home and runs her shop which sells flowers and other gifts. She is also the bread winner in the family much to the chagrin of her husband Shikamaru. She still as bossy as ever and has had several employees quit because of it. She also presently has both of Kakashi's daughters employed part-time as well as two other girls. Her and Sakura are on good terms nowadays and are practically sisters which she'll then joke they would be if her son Juan would marry Sakura's daughter Riza. Her hair is about the same length as it was when she was twelve, but she puts it into different styles every week.
Juan: (mention) Age 11, DOB March 9, rank student; The son of Ino and Shikamaru and their only child. He got his looks from his mother and his personality and eyes from his father. His hair is black and trimmed short. He is over protective of Riza and hates Gohan. He says that his destiny is to be with Riza because he was born a day before her. He is always protecting her cause his father told him that he was a man and should always protect the woman that he cared for. Every time he tries to tell Riza that he loves her he gets nervous and backs out, which his mother says he gets from father then tells embarrassing stories of how Shikamaru tried to tell her that he was in love with her and goof it up. He knows both of Shikamaru's and Ino's signature techniques the Art of Me-and-my Shadow and Mind Transfer.
Title: "Dreams of a Prologue"
February 17, (I'm sorry I don't know what year their calendar is on. Someone tell me please! All the info sites I went to didn't say and I haven't seen it in the books either!)
Sakura is in the kitchen of the Uzumaki household serving tea to Sasuke and his wife Temari. "It's been too long you two since you've come and visit. I'm sorry Naruto is out on an A-rank mission, but he has been gone for several days now so he should be home any day now," said Sakura as she pours them a cup of tea "I just hope he's alright."
Sasuke looks up from his tea, "I'm sure the dunce is alright, although," puts his tea down and grabs his left arm and rubs it, "my arm has been itching like mad so maybe something has happen to him." Temari looks and sees Sakura's smile turn into a small frown. She grabs her fan and hits Sasuke on top of the head with it. "YOU IDIOT! Can't you see how nervous she is already?" barks Temari. She then sighs, "I swear bad enough that you're so dense about feelings and our first child turned out almost exactly like you. I just pray this one turns out less thick headed."
Sakura smiles and takes a sip of her tea, "That's right you're about, what three months pregnant right?" "Yeah give or take. I knew I should have said no when he started getting affectionate. All the problems of pregnancy just for a mild pleasure." Sasuke gets looks at her angrily, ""Mild pleasure?" If I remember right you were the one screaming "S…Sasuke! More…faster! Har…HARDER! It's so bi"…ugh!" Temari hits him over and over again with her fan screaming, "Shut up!" with every hit. 'I think Sasuke is dead,' thinks Sakura as she sees Sasuke's twitching body.
Sasuke now recovered takes a sip of his tea then looks at Sakura, "So I take it Shikamaru has been by and told you that in a few weeks the kids will get a chance to become Genin soon?" "Yeah a week after Riza's birthday…" replies Sakura chewing on her thumb "But don't you think it's a little soon for them?" Sasuke looks at her seriously, "No." "But…" "Listen Sakura when Naruto, you, and I took the test years ago we weren't half as good with chakra and or as skilled in other skills as them I'm afraid to admit." "…but…" "You and Naruto discussed this after Riza was born about letting her become a ninja, and Naruto was the one who brought it up. You are the one who talk him into letting her become a ninja." "It's just that…" she says in a shaky voice. "It's just nothing! You're scared that once she becomes a Genin that when she is taking the Chunin exam that she might get killed! How do you think Shikamaru must feel knowing that if he passes Juan that he might get himself kill his only child?" "…" "Do you know how many people are affected by that exam besides the one who take it? Hundreds! Possibly thousands! Someone will loss a student, friend, brother, sister, son, and/or a daughter to that exam I guarantee it. When the people taking the exam sign the consent forms they know what they are putting their friends and family through; they know, we knew, and I am a hundred percent sure that Riza and the others will know it! You have to face facts Sakura that Riza has chosen her path and you have to let her live with her decisions!"
Temari noticing Sakura with her head held down silently sobbing, 'Great you insensitive jerk! Could you have been any blunter with it? It might be true, but she was just worried and you just might have made it worst. Sigh…' "So Sakura I heard Yoshi was in trouble at school?" Sakura rubs her eyes before looking up at them, "Yeah he found a scroll Naruto wrote that tells how to do his infamous Ninja Centerfold uh technique and was punished there, but I made sure he got punish here as well." Temari gulps as she sees Sakura laughing evilly, "W-What did you do?" I made him work at Ino's for a week and if he screws up, doesn't do as he is told, or skips work after school I'll double his punishment." "Huh? How is that punishment?" "Heh! Since he thought it was funny being a girl I made him wear a pink tutu while he cleans Ino's shop." Sasuke and Temari both stare at her for a minute, then Temari bursts out laughing while Sasuke just snorts with a big grin on his face. Time flies by quickly and the clock reads 5:15pm. "Is it that late already? We best be heading home dear Gohan will be back soon." Temari tells her husband. "Yeah I guess we better be heading home then thanks for the tea Sakura. Tell the dunce not to be a stranger. See ya." The couple leaves and Sakura sees them to the door, "Goodnight you two." 'Gee time can sure change people. I mean look at Temari she was such a bitch when we were teenagers and Sasuke……………………………… Sasuke is still a big asshole! What did I ever see in him?'
Twelve minutes later Sakura is in the middle of washing dishes and looks up at the clock. She knows how her daughter is that she'll first walk her brother to Ino's then stay and laugh at him. Then she'll either cook a hair-brain scheme and get Gohan and/or Juan into trouble, or go to the Ramen bar and run her father's tab up until he got back. She begins to think of how she'll "punish him" for making her wait so many days without him. She blushes, but still gets an evil grin, oh how she'll make him pair. Just then she hears the front door open and she hears her name being called. 'Naruto!' She runs towards her husband what she discovers brings tears to her eyes.
The sight of her husband hanging onto their bleeding badly is almost too much to bear. His right is missing from the elbow down, part of his right kneecap is gone, his left eye is also gone, numerous shurikens and kunai are impaled in his body, and a giant stab wound is near his heart. "S…Sakura…" he collapses and Sakura barely makes it catches him without him touching the floor. "Naruto! Naruto!" she begins to pull out the kunai and shurikens from and begins heal them. "Oh god Naruto what happen to you?" "I'm so s-sorry Sakura it looks like I failed to keeUGH!" he throws up blood, "…to keep my promise of coming ba-back to you alive my dear sweet Sakura… I just had to see your face one more time before I…" Tears are streaming down her face as she begins to realize that nothing she is doing is helping, "Don't say that Naruto! I can't go on with out you I need you! Please don't leave me alone Naruto!" "Oh how touching." Sakura looks up while Naruto doesn't look up he knows who it is. Sakura sees a man, no a demon looking down at her with big smile his mouth has full set of sharp teeth and his black eyes. He holds up sword like object and licks it, "Don't fret little girl you'll both be reunited in HELL!" He thrusts his blade towards them. "Run Sakura!" yells Naruto. He is surprised when she just hugs him tight to her, "No. I said I couldn't live without you and I meant it. If you are going to die here so will I because I want to be with you forever." "Sakura…" he kisses her one last time she can taste his blood…
To be continued...?
Nah just kidding continue on with the story…
Sakura wakes up in her bed screaming. She clings to her bed sheets to her naked body. She tries to remember what the hell just happen, 'Okay, okay what happened? I remember that Sasuke and Temari came over, then at 6:30pm Riza came home, and 8:15 Ino and Juan brought Yoshi home. We chatted for about an hour then she and Juan went home. Then I sent the kids to bed after dinner at 10:30. Around 11:40 I was feeling tired and start to lock up when Naruto surprised me and then we…' she blushes at the thought of what they did. That reminded to pick the clothes up in the living room before the kids get up. She gets even redder now 'I mean twice in the living room and again in here. Oh! I best clean up the recliner while I'm on it!' Then she just thought of another thing, 'Naruto!' She turns beside her and sees his spot empty in their king-size bed.
A few minutes earlier…
Naruto is sitting in front of the recliner scrubbing away eating a cold leftover pork bun from dinner. "Heh-heh… me and Sakura can sure make a mess." Notices Sakura's panties lying on the arm, grabs it. He then brings it up to his nose and takes a big whiff. 'Good god! It makes me want to run back up there and wake her up. You know now that I think of it I have pick up some strange habits from my old master. Good thing I have Sakura or I be just like him sneaking in from bathhouse to bathhouse getting the living crap beaten out of me.' Just then he heard Sakura's scream. 'Sakura!' He then grabs four hidden kunai hidden around the house and rushes with the pork bun in his mouth. As he reaches the top of the stairs he slips on his son's skateboard and tumbles down two flights of stairs. 'Ugh! Dammit Yoshi I thought I told you to keep that in your room!' he thinks to himself as he sits upside down on his head. He then rushes up again. As he bursts through their bedroom door he trips over a throw rug. 'Dammit all to hell!' He rushes to his wife, "Sakura are you alright?" She looks over to her husband with tears in her eyes grabs him in a giant hug, "Naarrruutooooo! Thank god you're alright." "Sa…Sakura I can't b-breath…" "Huh? Oh!" realizes that she had been using all her strength and chakra in that hug, "Sorry…"
"Now what is this about Sakura?" starring her straight in her emerald color eyes. "Naruto I had a terrible nightmare; you came home badly injured and even with the Kyuubi and me trying to heal you and nothing I tried helped! I felt so helpless. Then a man is standing behind us and he stabs us both. And you want to know the scary part of it all is?" He nods his head. "Before he stabs us I kept thinking I should run and make sure that Riza and Yoshi are alright, but I couldn't leave without you! I wanted to die with you holding you in my arms! It's like saying "who cares about the kids as long as I'm with you." God! I'm such a terrible mother even in my dreams!" she begins to cry into his chest. Naruto holds her close to him, "Never say that Sakura! You are a terrific mother and a devoted wife. You're just like me; you know that our family is the most important thing in your life, and you would give anything to protect them even your life. So never, ever say that again Sakura besides it was just a dream now get some rest." He looks down and finds her already snoozing peacefully against him with a small smile on her face. He then lays her down gently onto the bed then tiptoes out of the door unfortunately he steps on the pork bun he dropped, 'Terrific! Now that's one more thing to clean up and now I got to fix me something to eat.'
After Naruto cleans up the pork bun, the recliner, and picking discarded clothes he opens up two big kitchen cabinets full of nothing but instant ramen. 'Hmmm I think… chicken ramen.' As Naruto waits for the ramen to cook his mind begins to wonder, 'So Sakura had a nightmare too huh. I was going to tell her I've been having similar one, is it just coincidence… or a premonition? Hmmm…… oh the ramen is done.' He wolfs down the ramen quickly, 'Aaahhh that was good. Maybe I'm looking too much into this? I'll talk to Shikamaru about it tomorrow and see what he thinks.' Looks at the clock and it reads 3:19 am. 'I guess I best get some sleep after all knowing Sakura she'll want to get us all up at 6:00.' He goes back to his room and slides under the covers. He then wraps his arm around Sakura and kisses her on the forehead, "I love you my dear sweet Sakura."
Now seriously to be continued…
How was that? I think it was pretty good. Not bad at least for my first Naruto fanfic right? Anyway I had thought about doing a lemon for Naruto's return, but I drop the idea. If you want I might put it up if a couple of you want me too. I think it's funny though about Riza and Juan's birthday being one day apart like Shikamaru and Ino. Of course when I did it I didn't know that at the time when I was putting the finishing touches on this I was looking up some info like birthdays and such and boy was I surprised. Maybe I'm psychic, nah if I was I could pick the winning lottery numbers. So hate it love let me know……………please?
Author's Corner: Place Your Bets(Possible Spoilers if you hadn't made it too Naruto 2. Of course I haven't, but I've done my homework)
The one thing I've think I figured is that evil Sasuke will pull the whole "join the darkside" and kill a main/minor character off, and I don't mean one of the villains, so lets place your bets.
Kakashi 2 to1 odds; Talking about not just ticking off Naruto and Sakura, but almost every reader since Kakashi is one of the favorite characters. Why would he kill him? Because it would be like Darth Vader/Obi-Won the apprentice surpasses the master. There is also the possibility that Sasuke might just rip out the sharingan eye.
Jairya and Iruka 3 to 1; Naruto's father figures, people who have technically raised him. You be cheesed off to if someone killed someone you thought as a father.
Hinta 6 to 1; One of the first besides Iruka who thought Naruto was………special? I also remember that her name has something to do with the sun, or something like that, maybe the sun will set protecting Naruto.
Sai 7 to 1; Since I don't know much about him I gotta say if I was Sasuke I would make an example of anyone who try and replace me.
The rest of the Rookie Nine (I guess its former eh?) and Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten 12 to 1; basically Rock Lee and Ino I would guess probably have the better chance of being whacked, but I guess the rest are technically Naruto's friends to so they best watch out.
Sakura 20 to 1; The girl who has a crush on him (or maybe those feelings have gone to another hmmm?) and the girl Naruto loves would make an excellent target. And if I'm right he already tried but she was saved, (I think his name was Yamato) but just barely. Since though Masashi Kishimoto has decided to make her a more powerful character I think this is not likely.
Everybody else 21-100 to 1; Some like Tsudane and Gaara are higher then others like Might Guy and Ebisu would be pretty low. Other still would be in between such as Inari and Konohamaru.
Nobody not even the bad guys cause Sasuke is a big pussy; 1,000,000 to one; You know he's going to kill someone don't take this bet.…but he still a pussy.
Place your bets, place you bets. Place bets with reviews, and by "bets" I mean imaginary like those old Marvel "No-Prizes" because I'm pretty much broke. So if you bet 1 imaginary dollar on "Nobody" you one a million imaginary dollars cool huh? No I guess not okay how about a poll do you think I hit the nail on the head or you think he's a pussy (more of an asshole but I digress) and not kill anyone? So if you review (please review) remember to vote.
