Me Time: So I ahould be updating every day or two. If it's longer don't worry I will come back. It's rated T for some violence later on. This story shouldn't be very long, I'm guessing but maybe ten chapters or so, maybe more. Enjoy! Oh and should I make it yaoi? I'm not really sure but it won't be much just maybe kissing or something.


Naruto's Homecoming CHAPTER ONE

Nariko looked around anxiously. She still couldn't see him but her sensei was due back from his three-month mission today. She shaded her eyes and squinted, looking towards the far end of the road. It was then when she saw the tall figure approaching. Nariko beamed, waving towards the powerful shinobi who was finally coming home. She couldn't even believe it had been so long since she had last seen him. Joy and excitement swelled up in her chest causing a wide grin to appear on her already delighted features.

"Nii-chan!" she called. The fair-haired shinobi raised his head; his blue eyes focused on the young kunoichi and he slowly lifted his hand to make an attempt to return the welcoming gesture. Naruto's movements were steady but and edge of fatigue and tenderness was visible in the way he moved. His face reflected the confusion that burned in his eyes. When he finally entered the gates his movement was sluggish but he managed to lift Nariko up and swing her around.

"Nariko!" he chuckled. "I've missed you." He swung her around for a second time. Naruto hissed in pain and letting go of his student he started to drop onto his knees. Naruto closed his eyes and clutched at his stomach.

"Naruto! Are y-you-," she began to question but she stopped to wrap her delicate arms around her sensei's broad shoulders to hold him up. He groaned grabbing the fabric of his vest like it was paining him to even be touched by the piece of clothing. In her eyes the whole scene seemed to pass in slow motion, Naruto falling, her grabbing his shoulders, the loud footfalls of the two-shinobi guarding Konoha's gates approaching.

Nariko finally noticed the blood beginning to stain the green material. Her eyes were wide in disbelief when the two-shinobi finally stopped beside the pair.

"Is he alright?" One asked looking down at her. Nariko turned to him. Tears were already threatening to fall but she couldn't let herself be weak.

"I'm not sure." she whispered unconfident of herself. "Could you put him on my back?" The shinobi's nodded and helped to position Naruto onto her back. It felt awkward having the new weight added on. Nariko knew her stability would be terrible because of the way Naruto had begun to grip to her. The brunette nodded her thanks and took off at a shaky run before regaining the balance she had lost and leaping towards Konoha's tightly packed rooftops.

Nariko lost her balance once or twice but managed to keep herself going. She knew backpacking a fully-grown adult male across Konoha wouldn't be effortless but Naruto moaning in pain and thrashing around wasn't making the job any easier. "Please Naruto, calm down" She explained looking down at the unsuspecting citizens and shinobi below.

"I'm taking you to Tsunade." Naruto shifted position and whimpered to show that he understood. Hokage Tower rose up before the burdened kunoichi. Relief swam across her face.

The surprised guards who watched as she passed by hauling a wounded shinobi, who looked much too large for her to support didn't stop Nariko. She was thankful that she didn't have to waste time by explaining. Nariko kicked open the door to the Hokage's office and rushed in closing the door with some difficulty. Shizune gasped as the scene in front of her began to make sense. Tsunade glanced up, but then returned back to her papers before shooting upwards again along with her body.

"What happened to him?" she questioned rushing to Nariko. Her knees bent as Naruto's weight began to take effect on her petite body. Tsunade gently eased the blond off of the tired girl and placed him onto her desk. "Oh my, this is serious." Tsunade unzipped his Jounin vest. The orange shirt underneath was ripped and bloodied. But someone had bandaged Naruto's abdomen. As Tsunade undid the wrapping she cringed at the wound underneath and the large amount of blood covering the shinobi.

"Do you think it was the Chidori?" Shizune asked stepping forward. The Godaime frowned, uncertainty played across her face.


Next chapter should be up today, cause I have at least five chapters already typed. I'm trying not to let them be too short but I want to leave some cliffies! Though the one right now isn't very suspensful, try and make up what you think Tsunade is going to say it shouldn't be hard! Well it could be hard but guess. :)
