Chapter 1: surprise home coming
It was a quiet day at the hidden Village of Leaf at the main gate; a lazy jounin had his turn to watch the gate
"Man this is to troublesome" shikamaru said with a grunt.
'its been a year now that naruto left without a word to anybody and left the hokage a note why he left, ever since then she's had a member of the rookie nine and team gai to watch the main gate' he thought.
'At least its quiet' just then an ANBU appeared.
"Status report shikamaru-sama?" he sated clearly.
"Mmm hold on" he looked through a telescope at the surrounding forest
'Green, green, green, blonde, green, gre... Wait what?' looking to where he saw blonde there it was a blonde man not too far
"Get the hokage down here now!!" "Hai" and with that the anbu poofed away.
'Naruto that better be you' he though with hope.
Just then the hokage appeared with shizune.
"Shikamaru what's wrong?" the lazy cloud watcher handed the hokage the telescope and pointed to where the blonde was. She gasped 'can it be is it him? Why is he alone?' they waited in till he was right there in front of them all. He stood there with a new jacket that had a hood it was still orange and black, along with ninja pants same color, but he had his headband was covering his eyes.
"Oo god naruto is that you?" running to embrace him she kept on asking questions. "Why do you have your headband covering your eyes? And where have you been? Where's jiraiya-sama? Did he make you leave?
"tsunade-sama please let me explain" she let him go and looked at him with curiosity, just then he snapped his fingers and a clone jumped out of the tree with a tied up sasuke on his back. "You better get him to the hospital" the clone said before dispelling. Tsunade called for the medics and rushed him to the hospital then looked at naruto, his head was down and was crying "what's wrong" he snapped his fingers again and this time a female jumped down with a body bag over her shoulder. Tsunade looked with shock as it was rin, kakashi's old teammate. "Rin is that you? Where have you been?"
She then stopped when rin put the body bag down. "Open it" naruto spoke. Tsunade bent down with fear, afraid to open it. when she did her fear came true. there It was jiraiya's lifeless body there. She then began to cry embracing the body "what happen? It's a joke right? Jiraiya wake up, wake up" she shook the body but no response she cried harder as the tears came out "why, why, why?" she screamed. naruto just stood there with tears behind the headband. he tried to grab tsunade's shoulder but she already stood up "give him a proper ceremony we will have it tomorrow" "naruto I want you at my office in 30 minuets" she was about to disappear but stopped when he said.
"Stop I want the rookie nine there and team gai I want them to hear the story of the greatest hero that fought for this village as well to reveal a secrete" he spoke with a cracked voice.
"Shikamaru you heard him gather everybody at my office" with that she disappeared.
Naruto started to walk past everybody with rin behind him.
"Na... Naruto" shikamaru said but got no answer
'man this is going to be along day'
