Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, now copy and paste this into your head for every chapter you read.

Author: In truth this fic was already finished a long time ago, but I had to take it down because it was in script mode. Now here it is again, modified out of script for all to enjoy. I've kept the story 90 percent the same as it was before, other then converting out it of script there's little no changes at all.

Before anyone asks, I'll keep the original chapter titles within the story while making up new ones for the little blue bar in the top right. I'll release, err rather re-release, each chapter every few days but I'll do a double chapter release right now. Those who knew me from a while ago, I've updated my profile. I'm hoping to hear from you, even if you hate me.

Chapter 1 (Introductory)- Revival

Note: As it says, this is merely an introductory chapter so don't expect too much from it, if you only care for the humor, skip to the next chapter.

Naruto escorts the old woman through the forest. Now that the excitement in his life is over, he can live like a regular ninja of the Leaf. First, they had saved Sasuke in a very hard battle where a lot of friends almost died. Then they faced Akatsuki while Sasuke managed to reform Itachi, it was during this that Naruto revealed to everyone about the demon within him.

Now there isn't anything very exciting about his life except for the occasional A to Super A rank missions. From time to time he takes the low ranking missions as well. Naruto is practically strong enough to take care of himself, which is why some of the teams had to be reformed.

Itachi, Sakura, Sasuke are now one team under Asuma. Naruto, Hinata, Shikimaru and Shino are another with Naruto being the leader but Shikimaru as the tactician. Team Gai is the same. Kiba, Ino, Chouji are now under team Kuranai and Kakashi is now a lone wolf. But he tends to check on their old students and friends from time to time and even support them as well. The sand siblings Gaara, Temari and Kankuro often visit too.

This mission needed no support what so ever as it was a simple escort mission. The old woman needed to get to a rare plant for a new and special kind experimental medicine. Naruto recalls a small talk during the mission.

"So what kind of medicine are you going to make?" Naruto asks the old woman.
"A revival medicine."
"Revival?" Naruto questions again. "As in bringing the dead back to life?"
"Yes," the old lady replied. "But after I get the ingredients I will need someone to test it on."
"A dead person right?"
"Of course, but no one of importance though. I don't want to raise a commotion, do you know anyone that is not well known?"
"I'm going to need time to think about it."

Naruto has found someone that fits the description perfectly. Now he is leading the woman to the grave of that buried person. They reach the burial site.

Woman asks, "Are you certain about this?"
"Yeah, even if he doesn't want to live. I can kill him again."
"Which one is him?"
Naruto points, "That one."
"Then we need to dig the body out, no sense reviving them if all they're going to do is die again from lack of air."

Naruto did as he was instructed and dug up the hole. The woman poured the potion she made into the hole and made some seals and chanted.

"It's done. Now we wait to see if it works."

Naruto threw down some spare clothes he brought with him. Both the woman and Naruto waited some distance away. Noises of someone putting on the clothes catches their ears. The medicine worked. The body jumps out of the hole and comes face to face with Naruto and the old woman.

"Hey!" Naruto yelled out. "It worked!"
The boy was confused, "It?"
Woman tells him, "The revival potion we tested on you, it seems to have done it's duty. However, the ingredients are very rare and I will need to figure out how to make these medicines while saving them."
"Revival? Ugh… my head."
"Slow down, you were just dead you know."
The boy suddenly remembers something, "Wait… you, you're Naruto aren't you? Where… where is he?"
"Behind you."

The body turns around to see another grave next to where he jumped out of.

The old lady breaks the silence, "It's a mission complete kid, here. Take this envelope to Tsunade-sama, it has the payment."
"Thank you very much."

The old woman leaves Naruto and the newly revived body alone. Naruto looks at the boy as he stares at the grave.

"Why did you choose me?" the recently revived asked.
"Because, you need to see more light. He was your first light, I will show you the stars."
"The stars? How long was I dead?"
"About 3 years," Naruto answered. "I have many new friends now, you should meet them."
The boy was in thought for a short moment, "Can I really make new friends?"
"Hey, I did."
The boy smiled, "You've changed."
Naruto smiles back, "You haven't, yet."
"Heh. Before we go meet your friends, there is a place I want stop by first. I want to see if our old hideout is still there."
"To get some things right?"
"Yeah. But on the way, please tell me how he died."
Naruto tried to think for a moment, "In short, he died for you, Haku."

The old hideout was still there, but it was covered with so many plants now with no one attending to it in 3 years. Haku found some old clothes that were still in good condition. Naruto waited outside for him to finish his business. Haku came out in the same pink clothes Naruto saw him wear the first time they met.

"Looks like there was some money left over."
Naruto smiled, "Heh, that old get up. Even now I still mistook you for a girl."
"You didn't tell your friends about me did you?" Haku asked eagerly.
"No, I never told anyone. Why do you ask?"
"I want to have a little fun."
"Eh?" Naruto obviously looked confused.
"Let's go, I'm in no rush so I would like to hear about your friends. In return I'll tell you about my 'game'."
"Well, you already know Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi…" Naruto began to explain all his friends in detail.

"So the rumors were true, you did find a new girlfriend," Iruka smiled.
Naruto's eyed widened, "Girlfriend?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint, but we're only friends."
"Y-Yeah, we're just friends."
"For the moment," Haku added. "I'm just waiting to get into his room tonight."
