Chapter 1: I'm BACK
Three years... it has been three years since a young boy named Naruto Uzumaki went on a training trip with the frog senin Jiraiya, Naruto left as a boy with determination and next to no real skill... now he returns a strong, passionate and even more determined than ever. Let it be known that today... was the day The Hidden Leaf's Hero returned.
THIS IS A LINE WITH TOADS... THAT TALK
Jiraiya was puzzled, he was bamboozled, he was... I think you get it, he was confused, the reason why was because of Naruto and his apparent patience. Let it be forever known that Naruto Uzumaki has never been patient... hell he could barely wait three fricken' minutes for cup'a'ramen to be boiled, his lack of patience is quite concerning really... should probably get that checked out.
So when the day came for Naruto to return home, Jiraiya thought he would have to place ear-buds in his ears to ignore ecstatic screaming of joy and happiness. Instead Naruto was the picture of calmness and concentration... it scared the hell outta' him.
"Although I should most likely expect this because of his training with the toads, I suppose it's taught Naruto patience and understanding, something I thought was impossible... gotta' hand it to gramps and ma, they sure know what they're doing" Jiraiya smiled, his student had most defiantly grown in these three years, not only in height but in strength, speed, passion and many other things, it amazed Jiraiya and made him even more proud to have been the sensei who groomed the young boy into the teen his very eyes see today.
Hell, Naruto's fashion sense has improved dramatically, yes he still wore the orange and black jacket with the orange pants, and however he wore a red sage coat over that, sleeves reaching all the way down to his wrists. Dare he say it; Jiraiya thought his student looked cool. "Although, he'll never hear me say it, the little bastard wouldn't let me live it down, hmm I can't really call him little can I anymore?" That's certainly true, the 4ft whatever Naruto that everyone used to know has been kicked outta' the world and has been replaced by a 5ft 11 teen... no man... Naruto left a child and came back... a man and Jiraiya couldn't have been more proud.
THIS IS A LINE... WITH TOADS
"Ne, Jiraiya-sensei, how long until we reach Konoha?" asked a curious blonde haired teen, this teen's name is none other than Naruto Uzumaki.
"Not long now Naruto, maybe a couple more hours at most" replied a gray-haired senin, this sennin is obviously Jiraiya... TOAD SENNIN and super pervert.
"I wonder if Tsunade-samma will be happy to see me."
"What... off-course she'll be happy, you're practically her son in everything but name and blood, why wouldn't she miss you"
"Don't know, just trying to make some small-talk I suppose" a sigh escaped from Naruto's lips and he lazily strolled down a dirt path with his master, his eyes closed in mediation. "You know, having your eyes closed for that long could cause you to... I don't know, walk into a tree" as Jiraiya said this, his left leg reached out slightly in-front of Naruto's pathway.
"I suppose your right sensei, however" Naruto hopped over the out-stretched leg, eyes still closed "my new sage-mode makes me see, when my eyes cannot".
"I do know that brat, I am the toad sage in case you've forgotten" Jiraiya didn't need to see Naruto's face to know that he was grinning like a moron.
"Sensei, how about a race?" Naruto questioned, as Jiraiya's ears perked up slightly towards the offer "hmm, I don't know, what happens when I win" Jiraiya smugly replied.
"I'll teach you my orike jutsu, however, when I win you'll have to start calling me oh lord, oh master of the world, sounds fair ne?" Jiraiya didn't hear that last part; as soon as the jutsu was up for grabs he bolted towards the direction of the village.
Grinning as he felt Jiraiya's chakra signature fade slightly as he got further away, Naruto opened his eyes and his pupil changed into a sideways rectangle, what looked like green make-up covered his top half of his eye-lids and his chakra soared even higher than before.
Adopting a sprinting stance Naruto pushed off the ground, forward at a tremendous speed, kicking up dust as he ran and leaving shimmers of where he once was, he was already catching up to Jiraiya.
"YOU BETTER USE SAGE-MODE TO WIN SENSEI" Naruto shouted as he blitzed past his master.
Jiraiya grumbled about stupid brats and closed his eyes, a moment later he had entered sage-mode and he sprinted away, as fast as his pupil.
THIS IS A LINE... WITH TOADS
Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki two proud chunin of Konoha were bored, scratch that, they were close to falling asleep, today was guard duty and like all days it had to be them working the north gate, it was ridiculous. It really was, here were two experienced chunin just lounging away their youth and happiness by guarding a gate, granted it was a very big gate.
Both of them just wished something exciting would happen that could cheer up their day because as of now, they were about to fall asleep.
Izumo had already closed his eyes to rest and Kotetsu was just about to follow when he heard something coming towards the gate... at high speeds, peering out of his stand, he looked towards the gate, however all he saw was an orange and red blur, shoot by him saying "no sleeping on the job, Kotetsu, Izumo" and he was off, closely followed by an white blur also saying "ignore him, carry on with what you're doing" and then that blur shot off as well, heading the same way as the other one.
Izumo yawned "what the hell was that" he asked tiredly. Kotetsu smirked "the answer to our prayers" and left it at that.

"So... what must you now call me?" inquired a smug Naruto.
"Oh lord, oh master of the world... there happy you little brat" replied a thoroughly annoyed sennin.
"Yea I suppose so, it was fun that race though, and we should totally do that again sometime sensei, eh?" Jiraiya had to nod at that, it was fun... exhausting but fun all the same.
"So, kid how does it feel to be back here after three years time?" asked a curious sage of his pupil, Naruto seemed to consider this question before looking up, and he leaped up to the top of a wire-post.
Browsing the village, Naruto spotted some new adjustments towards it, for one, Tsunade seemed to have placed her face upon the Hokage monument "heh, it seems baa-chan is quite popular around here... that's good" that was the only massive change, the village seemed to have a paint-job but that was about it really.
"NARUTO, IS THAT YOU?" shouted a feminine voice Naruto looked down and I shit you not, saw pink hair, and the only person he knew who had pink hair was... Sakura Haruno.
Smiling, Naruto hopped down, his coat billowing in the wind as he fell.
When he reached the floor, he was eloped into a hug from his pink-haired friend "wow, Naruto it really is you, it's been so long" Sakura stated as she released Naruto and took a good look at him.
"Hi, Sakura-cha... I mean Sakura, it's been way too long since we last met" apparently, she didn't notice Naruto's slight slip of the tongue which Naruto thanked his lucky stars because of it.
"Boss, your back" said a voice from behind Sakura, Naruto peered over his friend to see three kids, that looked around 13 years of age, he instantly recognised each of them.
"Konohamoaru, Moegi, Udon, how are you three, wow, and look how big you've all gotten" as Naruto said this, Konohamaru and co. Blushed slightly from the praise.
"We're good boss, us three just have to show you all of our hard work" as Kono said this, the three pre-teens adopted a hand sign each and in a puff of smoke, reappeared as three smoking-hot women.
Naruto was just about to congratulate the three when he sensed death, and destruction coming from a certain pink-haired individual "oh fuck, she's gonna' blow any second, better them than me I suppose" as Sakura opened her mouth to deliver the harshest words anyone on planet Earth could, Naruto discreetly shunshined away to safety... back on-top of the electrical pole.
As Naruto watched Sakura berate the hell out of Kono and his team, Naruto let his sage-mode fade for now, Sakura didn't seem to notice his eyes or his different chakra, so he could still make a big surprise out of it.
"Bloody hell can Sakura rant or what, I've been standing up here for what... five minutes and she still isn't finished". Just as that thought arrived into his head, Sakura seemed to notice Naruto's disappearance because she seemed to look around in confusion.
Grinning Naruto once again, shunshined sown towards the four people and gave a perplexed face as to when they looked at him funny.
"Anyway, it certainly has been exciting meeting all of you once again, but I must dash, ya know, Hokage's to see, places to be etcetera, etcetera see ya!" and in a flash Naruto disappeared, presumably towards the Hokage's office.
As Konohamaru and his friends gushed about how cool Naruto looked Sakura was pondering about something in her brain "since when was Naruto this polite and dare I say it... smart, wow three years can really change a fellow for the better" Sakura smiled, her friend was back, only one member of the team was needed to re-create team-seven.

"Chuckling, Naruto opened the Hokage's office door, only to be engulfed into a huge three-way hug, consisting of Tsunade herself and her assistant Shizune, Naruto smiled as he returned the gesture. After a couple more seconds, Naruto was released and both the initiators of said hug returned to their original stations.
"Welcome back Naruto-kun" said Shizune, happiness lacing her voice.
"Good to be back Shizune-neechan" he replied
"So brat, how did your training trip go?" asked a curious Hokage, eager to drink in all the information she could.
"Well, Jiraiya-sensei should have already told you, however I'm afraid he's been enthralled by the beauty of the hot-springs, specifically the women's side" two jaws just dropped to the floor in shock.
"Since when did you know such big words, when you left here I'd be surprised if you could dress yourself correctly" Tsunade snipped, earning a frown from Naruto.
"Ha, ha, ha you're too funny Tsunade-samma, allow me to bow to your humour" sarcasm's a bitch ain't it.
"Okay brat I get your point, your smarter, good for you now, give us the deta..." at that moment a messenger bird tapped on the glass window of the office.
Almost growling Tsunade ripped open the window and removed the message tied to the bird's leg, before shooing it away and closing the window.
Tsunade sat back down and read the letter, dropping it in shock.
Safe to say, Naruto was now very worried and curious "what's up Baa-chan?" Naruto asked, slightly hoping to rile the woman up slightly.
Tsunade just gazed towards Naruto and said "Akatsuki has captured Takigakure's jinchūriki; Fu, they've asked for any assistance we can provide"
Naruto clenched his fists and looked confidently into the Hokage's eyes and said two words that proved how much the young boy had grown.
"I'm going"
