Chapter 2 : Return!

=== Present At Valley of the End ===

On the right, standing on the foot of the statue of the Shodai Hokage and former leader of the Senju clan, Senju Hashirama, was
Uzumaki Naruto. The whisker like marks on his cheeks had deepened and seemed more defined.
His face had lost his baby fat and had a more angular masculine look to it. The features on his face have sharpen so had the whisker-
like marks giving him a feral look when his expression matched the intensity that was in his eyes. Despite the intensity, the clarity in
his eyes has never left him showing his determination, resolve and control. His taste in clothes had changed as well. He was wearing a
black green short shirt kimono and matching pants with a hole in it ; under which he wore mesh armour that showed out of the
sleeves and legs of his outfit. His outfit was completed with hand guards, a simple black belt. He also had on a pair of black shinobi
sandals and a Konoha Hitai-ate wrapped around his forehead.
He was involved in different environments and was exposed to a lot more things and situations for these three years.

" Bring back memory. Don't you Think Jiraiya Sensei. "

" Yeah "

' I'm coming back Konoha '

=== A year and half after Naruto's Departure ===

The monks were infamous for their etaiton ( Nature Release ), weapon mastery, and sealing arts. Better yet, They could harness
Taijutsu at a young age better than even Ninja acadamy .
They were not a bloodthirsty group of shinobi, in fact they were not bloodthirsty at all.

They were monks.

The Fire Temple (Hi no Tera) was a large ninja temple or shinobi monastery in the Land of Fire that strongly resembled the Shaolin
Monastery except that it only housed ninja monks. It was particularly famous among ninja temples.

The monks of Fire Temple were led by former Twelve Guardian Ninja Member Chiriku. The Temple was located in an area
surrounded by forests and was said to overflow with nature. The temple was surrounded on three sides by mountains and a large
field to the south. The graves of four of the Twelve Guardian Ninja lie in each of the cardinal directions with the temple in the centre.

Chiriku was a bald man with dark eyes, and very thick eyebrows. He wore the standard attire of the ninja monk along with the sash
worn by members of the Twelve Guardia Ninja group.
But he was a force to be reckoned.

Chiriku opens his eyes after a long meditation and observed figure standing near him.

The figure removed his hat showing his blonde hair and cerulean eyes but not showing past the top of his nose. The teen bowed. "
Chiriku-sama ..."

" How many time have I told you not to call me sama. My boy, you have learned all lesson I thought necessary for you. You have to
leave a day after. Jiraiya will be coming to collect you. Go prepare for your departure. "

" Hai Chiriku-sama . "

Chiriku sighed and returned to his meditation.

' Well I never thought I can ever control this bundle of energy when he came. What was a brat now a young man with strong will
greater than I thought possible. '

' Naruto, I never thought you would have controlled your raging emotion to a controlled maelstrom but I know I'll hearing your
adventures. Just keep yourself as you are. World needs young man likes you to mold a new era. '

=== Flashback ===

"So where are we going Ero-Sennin?" Naruto asked as he looked up at the larger male.

" Fire Temple "

" I'm sure your types are strictly prohibited to enter such place so whats meaning to go there. " retorted Naruto.

" Your such a dense its not even funny you know. I'm a sage of Toad clan. We are highly respectful of nature due to mastery of
Senjutsu i.e Nature chakra release. " said Jiraiya with serious posture.

" You just shut up, we will be approaching Fire Temple in couple of hours. I'll answer all your question related to this , ok? "

Naruto sighed in defeat " ok. "

=== At Gate of fire temple ===

" Jiraiya-sama " greeted the gate guards.

Jiraiya nods in greeting and asked " I'm here to see Chiriku- dono. Is he available ? "

" Please wait inside we'll inform your arrival to Chiriku-sama. " said first guard and goes inside to perform said task.

" Please make yourself comfortable " Said second guard and leaves for his post at gate.

After fifteen minute later

" Hello Jiraiya-dono, How have you been ?" greeted Chiriku.

" Hello Chiriku-dono, I'm doing better . I've informed you our arrival. This is my young apprentice Uzumaki Naruto. " motioning
hands towards Naruto.

" Oh ! Yes So this is Uzumaki Naruto. The famous jinchuriki of Kyuubi. Hello Naruto, My name is Chiriku. " said Chiriku nodding
slightly to his direction.

Naruto frowns at mention of Kyuubi. But still bowing humbly he greets " Hi Chiriku-sama. "

" Naruto Chiriku-dono will be working on your basic skill as a ninja. He will be teaching you various things used from daily life to
battle. You will be learning from him first year and half. So Chiriku-dono he's all yours for now. I'll taking my leave. " said Jiraiya with
curt nod and turns toward exit.

" Woah wait a minute what do you mean by your leaving Ero-sennin. Your definitely going to reseach of yours. " said Naruto angrily.
" Why I've to learn here why not your teaching me this things. You'r my teacher not he. "

" What a irrespectible and ill-mannered brat you are. You have to be conditioned in art of humility. " said Chiriku with a edge.

=== Flashback ===

=== Naruto POV ===

After packing his stuff he began moving toward gates. When he passed through forest surrounding Temple .

Naruto was surprised when he noticed he was at already at the gates to greet the Toad Sage. He was enjoying his walk through
nature. Oddly enough, he (Jiraiya) had bandages on his arms and some slap marks over his cheek . After a minute or so of going
through him, he asked " You won't ever learn, do you Jiraiya-Sensei. "

" What Jiraiya-Sensei. Wow I never thought I'll hear that from you "

" So are you ready for departure Jiraiya-Sensei. "

" Just listen I want to tell you about your parents. I waited for this because after we left Konoha you were in so much turmoil I
thought you will take it wrong. "

" Do you know who were Minato Namikaze & Kushina Uzumaki. .."

=== Sometimes later ===

" Jiraiya-Sensei. "

" hmm yes baby yes. Come to lord Jiraiya. I knew you would fall for my charm Tsu-hime. "

" Jiraiya-Sensei. "

" ohhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhh just keep going Tsu-hime. I am cum..."

" Water Style : Water Bullet "

" Arrghhhh , what are you doing brat ? I was just approaching climax. "

A 16 year old Naruto with height of 5'10'' an athlete built young man tries to wake his Master.

Naruto shakes his head and said " You were dreaming of Tsunade-baa-chan, ...again. What's your problem ? Can't you just be a
non-perverted old man. "

" Nonsense, You have to once enjoy charm of women. Then tell me your advice. ... So why you wanted to wake me up ? "

" I Think we should be get going to home. "

" Ok Now I think you can take on Akatsuki and might come winner but still... "

" I think remaining time to work with you and Kakashi-sensei for some experience will be much better. So we should be get going. "

" Alright lets go ... (Stomach growls ) ... but can I have some breakfast first. "

" Sure ."

=== A week later ===

On this particular afternoon a lone figure was spotted sitting at the Hokage monument. The said figure in fact was sitting on the head
of the Yondaime. One leg dangling of the edge swinging back and forth as if it was the fringe of the Yondaime blowing in the wind.

The other leg propped up close to the figure's body in turn propping up his forearm on which the figure's head was resting on his
open palm. His head was tilted slightly to the side with a faraway look on his face as he gazed down at the village where he once
belonged to before he left. Such an expression on his face giving him the look of innocence if one was to look only on the surface.

Once the wind blows his blonde hair aside and one was to look deep into his clear blue eyes one will see an intensity that comes with
a lot of hardship pain and emotional scarring.

The figure looks down at head he was sitting on and lets out a sigh.

" It's been three years ne, Otou-san? since I last saw you ," said the figure chuckling in a sad manner. " Though that time I didn't
know ."

The figure shifted his gaze to the head on the right of the one he was sitting on.

" Ne, Hokage-jiji why didn't you tell me? I would have done anything to have known. I guess I can't blame you. I'm sure you had
your reasons."

Rustling of leaves cut the figure's quiet time with the dead kages as other person made his appearance. The seated figure looked back
to see a tall man with long bushy white hair appeared out of the vegetation into the clearing of the monument.

" Naruto, It's time to head into the village, " said Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin.

Naruto's face lit up and grinned at his sensei.

" Finally I get to see Baa-chan, Shizune-nechan, Sakura-ch.. Sakura and the rest of my friends again!" said Naruto. After a moment
punching his fist in the air in a display of joy and excitement.

" Lets go.."

=== Hokage's office ===

On this particular afternoon one could also see another blonde, female this time, hunched over behind a desk scribbling away almost
covered from sight by stacks of paper. The Godaime runs her fingers through her hair and lets out a sigh.

"People wouldn't think such a glorious job such as being the Hokage would consist mainly of fights with paper," said Tsunade
putting down her pen and pushing herself back as she leans back on her chair. Chuckles could be heard from one of the two figures
flanking her assisting with the paper work. On her right would be Shizune, fellow medic nin personal assistant to Tsunade and a long
time friend. On her left would be Sakura a promising apprentice already surpassing her expectations that she held for the girl. Already
the young girl turning 16 is coming close to what Tsunade was in her prime with added abilities in her arsenal which Tsunade didn't
have in her time.

"Now now Tsunade-sama. Are you about to create another excuse for you shirk on your responsibility ?" said Shizune quirking an
eyebrow at the Hokage. Tsunade crossed her arms sticked her nose up in the air snorting in indignance.

"Hn. What's wrong with taking a little break?"

"Nothing unless the little break lasts almost the entire day Hokage-sama," added Sakura letting out a snicker. Tsunade glared at her
apprentice. Sakura backed a bit holding her hands up however started gigling.

"Well that is true," said Shizune nodding in a sagely manner. Tsunade's already crossed arms tightened around her huge bosom and
closed her eyes in a display of refusal to admit to their playful accusations.

"Che! Now both of you are ganging up on me. What if that I've never made that bet with that whiskered blond brat. My life would
have been so easy. " retorted Tsunade.

Sakura lowers her head in shame for incident happen three years ago. She 'd never wanted to say those things to him but now she
totally regrets for believing her mom for all those this. If Naruto would have been a demon much less than Kyuubi then he would
never allowded her to berate him or beat for that mission to bring back Sasuke.

Tsunade takes a brief look at Sakura ." You know when he would come back just ask for his forgiveness , he'd gladly accept you as
his friend again. That brat is most forgiving than almost anyone. Its already have been three years. Jiraiya gonna get to receiving side
of my powered punch. He never said anything about his progress or when he'll come back. "

=== Same time At Great Gates of Konoha ===

Naruto pushed off the tree and continued towards the gate with Jiraiya following . Once Naruto made it to the gate he looked up from
the ground to find two eternal guards of Konoha " Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane " waiting there at gate post .
He thought ' Why are they always getting guard shift. '

" Halt who goes there. State your Identity and purpose ." inquired Kotetsu .

" My name is ... Naruto Uzumaki."
