Summary: I will use this to update you on any changes I have made to Narutos original storyline. First off! Sarutobi killed Orochimaru during the chuunin exams. Sasuke and Naruto are best friends more or less like brothers, and Sasuke never leaves the village. Naruto was gone five years, not two and a half, and now returns to Konohagakure an eighteen-year-old man.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. This is a simple fanfic I created for the viewing… Readers people, and yes this is my very first FF/FanFic. So review and such to tell me how bad I'm doing. n.n;

Chapter one.

Naruto's blue orbs widened slightly at the sudden view of Konohagakure, from him and Jiraiya standing on the hilltop over looking the hidden village that wasn't so hidden. Somehow the slightly dimming sun gave the peaceful village the welcome home look. It had been five long years sense he had left the village when he was but thirteen years old. Naruto turned to look at the panting Jiraiya who quickly stood up straight as if absolutely nothing was wrong.

"Do you even think they remember me, Jiraiya? After all.. a lot of people could forget after a year or two.. But I have been gone five. And I don't even look the same. Different colored clothes, I'm tall.. And even you would have to admit I'm fairly built from the years of training." Naruto spoke in a deeper voice, gained from growing up so to speak.

Jiraiya hesitated, giving him a moment to ponder on how to answer the blond. "Well.. I am a Sannin.. I am positive I will not be forgotten. You? Naruto you are a Jinchuuriki, The contained of a demon fox that attacked this village. Here, you will always be remembered, even if it isn't for the good things." Was Jiraiya's answer.

'Tell that old dirty bastard to shove a kunai in his ass..' Kyuubi wasn't happy with the way Jiraiya spoke of him.

'Now now, Kitten. Don't fill my head with naughty language.' He said, his inner self-standing in front of the cage wagging his right hands pointer finger.

'Oh fuck off, I am may be trapped in this body but that doesn't give you the right to call me a fucking kitten.' Screamed The Great Demon Fox at his host.

'Hey now, you are going to give me a headache if you keep shouting. Do I need to channel you out like last time? What was it? Four months before I Let you talk again?' Naruto chuckled, he always loved getting under his tenants skin even though he and the Fox had grown to be somewhat close, after all they were stuck together forever, why not make the best of it?

The fox grumbles before answering to his blond host 'Yes Father.. I'll be taking a nap now.. ' And with that, the Kyuubi moved to the back of his to be engulfed with darkness to fall asleep with nothing else to do except bug his container more, with the risk of being channeled out as the boy said.

Naruto chuckled victoriously before coming back to the real world. Simply nodding to the sannin that stood beside him. Gulping down a bulge in his throat Naruto spoke. "Yeah.. That's almost what I am afraid of.. Being remembered as the stupid demon and not who I really am. I wonder how the old man is doing. But! I will show them.. I will be the best fu- freaking ninja in all of Konoha!" Naruto didn't like swearing when he wasn't in a blind rage, and often stopping mid swear to replace it with another word.

At the comment of 'Stupid Demon' Kyuubi flared up. 'Hey Kit, who are you calling stupid? It wasn't my fault your precious Hokage sealed me inside of you.'

At this Naruto rolled his eyes. 'Obviously, you were stupid. YOU attack this village, thus getting your ass stomped and sealed away. Some in some sense it is your fault you came here.'

'Tch, fuck off…' With that the fox demon curled up to himself inside the cage to make another attempt at sleep.

This forced Naruto to laugh as if he was crazy. Usually the Fox inside him forced Naruto to produce an unseen chuckle, but the way the Fox easily gave up brought joy to the blond then looked to Jiraiya as he began walking. "Come on old man, already two and a half years late, best not to keep them waiting right?"

Jiraiya simply chuckled at this and followed. It would only take the two men a slow paced thirty-minute walk on the wide path cut into the forest surrounding the front gates of The Hidden Village of Leaf. As the two stroll up to the wide-open main gate they spot Izumo and Kotetsu behind a desk with pads of paper, to write down who enters and exits the village. Izumo wrote down who exited, and Kotetsu wrote down who entered both of which are chuunin, and obviously assigned the boring job of watching the front gate, marking every single person exiting and leaving. Of course the job had its perks, they lounged around all day with a friend, and if need be the main rode going through the village was near. So of course the often-left clone, freeing up their time to do their 'pressing' business. But tonight both men were somewhat stunned at the return of Konoha's Jinchuuriki and the great toad hermit after five years. Everyone had claimed them as dead after they were late for six months, but here the two men were.

Shrugging Kotetsu wrote down on the pad of paper of their arrival and the time, which happened to be slightly after seven pm. After writing down what was required Kotetsu turned to Izumo. "Was that really… who I thought it was?" Was his question, as if he was trying to clarify what his eyes saw.

Izumo gave a casual shrug before glancing to Kotetsu. "Is it really a problem if it was? Perhaps they got lost.. for.. two and a half years? Err.. ok so maybe it is a little more suspicious, maybe they were just busy, you know how Naruto is all he thinks about is ramen and training. And by the looks of it the training paid off fairly well.." Was Izumo's somewhat questionable answer. Though they both shrugged the thought from their skulls to continue whatever it is they would do.

Jiraiya and Naruto both noticed the slight conversation the two shinobi had but didn't let it affect them as they continued down the dirt road. Villagers were here and there, but most families and lonely people alike were inside preparing, eating or lounging about after eating dinner. Thus leaving the streets of Konoha nearly empty, save for a small group of people here and there.

Naruto wondered if this were better, he would draw far less attention to himself with the streets somewhat empty. Jiraiya then looked down to the boy, who had closed the gap in their height differences considerably. The now grinning Jiraiya placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder, which caused the blond shinobi to glance at the hand. " Naruto " Said Jiraiya "I am going to go off to the Hokage's mansion now, you should report to here in a day or two, until then welcome home." And with that Jiraiya vanished in a puff of white smoke.

Simply, Naruto shrugged off the reason as to why Jiraiya was eager to see Sarutobi and continued waling down the street, but stopped suddenly at the voice of a certain blond kunoichi yelling how she never got to go out and have fun like a normal person. This brought a smile to his face as he turned down a little ally way to find the source of the voice.

Ears twitching slightly he looked to his left where he heard the voice but was blocked by a large stonewall. With almost no movement Naruto jumped the wall, landing on a patch of grass with a soft, unnoticeable thud. After regaining his composer he exited the shadow of the wall and stepped forward, to the light. He glanced to the building he was in back of, which read on a sign "Yamanaka Flowers"

In front of him stood the given title by many men 'The most beautiful kunoichi in all of Konoha' Yamanaka Ino with her back turned to Naruto, completely oblivious to his presence. He chuckled under his breath as he moved forward a few small steps. Balling his hand into a fist, then releasing it as if to ready the hand. Slowly he reached out, and found his target. His hand now rested upon Ino's tush, giving a simple squeeze. "Oh… Soft.."

The shocked Ino clenched a fist, and swung blindly at whoever was coping a feel of her bum. Though Naruto easily dodged it, she continued. Throwing her right arm at him, then her left, a kick at his groin here, a quick jab there. Naruto's breath didn't even quicken from this light exercise, until he suddenly reached out. Hand grasped her arm and tugged, bringing her towards him to lean against him somewhat. Again his hand moved around and grasped her tush. As she struggled against him he spun, and moved to the shadows where he pressed her against the wall.

"Now, now Ino, after all of these years, you couldn't sense me behind you?" Naruto chuckled slightly, moving his right leg out to pin her legs back to stop any future attempts at kicks. Left hand grasped both wrists and pulled up so her arms were over her head and pinned to the wall by Naruto's hand.

Seeing as she was in no position to continue her barrage of misplaced attacks, she sighed in defeat. But that voice.. It had a resemblance to one she knew long, long ago.. But it couldn't be, could it? He was said to have died when he didn't return after the set amount of time he had to train, which happened to be two and a half years with the toad hermit known as Jiraiya. "N-Naru… Naruto!?" She exclaimed, instantly her hands were freed from his grasp. Wasting no time they looped around Naruto's neck happily.

The sudden act of affection forced a blush to spread across his face. "Yeah, its me Ino.. I am home.." Was his answer to her question. Six years ago from hanging out with Sakura so much him and Ino started hanging out also, in return producing a good friendship. That would be the only reason he thought Ino would do such a thing.

But to Ino, he was more than a friend. Though kept in secret from even her best friend Haruno Sakura, Ino had developed a crush on the loud Naruto. Oh how she had so many questions in her head, she felt it would burst. Suddenly she had grabbed Naruto and led him to the building behind the flower shop, which everyone knew as The Yamanaka residence. The two flew up a flight of stairs and were in Ino's room, sitting on her bed. "And no, you pervert. I am not bringing you to my room to strip down and let you ravish me.. We need to catch up."

Naruto blinked, and missed everything. Going from the yard area to Ino's bedroom almost in a flash, now he was going to have to tell his story of the past five years. Left hand moved up and rubbed the back of his head. But its kind of la-"

Before Naruto could finish Ino started up "Don't worry. You will sleep in my room for the night, and if you touch me while I am sleeping, I will break IT off." Said Ino in a somewhat frightful tone of voice.

Naruto quickly obliged to Ino's demands, and lay back onto the bed. Sighing heavily as he began.. "Well.. Ino, lets start with the beginning. I left five years ago with Jiraiya…"

End of chapter one.
