*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~At the Ramen Shop~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*

The shop's owner recognized Naruto right away. "Oh, My Kami! Naruto, that you?! Boy, you sure have grown up, haven't ya?! When did you get back, boy," the shop owner asked. He briefly told the shop owner of his story and sat down to receive his ramen. As Naruto was eating his food, someone came up to him.

"Uh… excuse me, but might you be Uzumaki, Naruto," the boy asked.

Naruto looked up from his food and gaped. "K-Konohamaru?! Is that you? Oh my God, you're tall! You're almost up to chest! Kid, you're only…13! How'd you get so tall? They put you into a taffy-stretching machine, or somethin'?"

Konohamaru beamed as Naruto was talking. He then proceeded to glomp him as he said, "HAH! I knew you'd never forget me! Just like you promised… I've missed you so much, Naruto!"

By this time, Konohamaru had tears standing in his eyes. Naruto smiled softly at him and said, "Keh… You should know by now that I always do what say I'll do, Konohamaru. C'mon, now and show me around the 'new-and-improved- Konohagakure'. What do you say, kiddo?"

Konohamaru's face fell as he said, "Well, I'd love to, but… I need to go to the forest to meet my team now… I was already sort of late when I saw you, but it was totally worth it! Well, I'll see you around, won't I, Naruto-kun?"

Naruto smiled his Cheshire grin as he said, "Of course you will! I'm not leavin' any time soon, squirt!"

Konohamaru smiled just as largely as Naruto and looked at his watch. He gasped and said, "Oh, man! Sensei's gonna have my head on a platter if I don't make it to practice today!"

As Konohamaru was about to speed off, Naruto caught his wrist and said, "Well, hold on there, shorty… I can have you there in the blink of an eye! You see, I've mastered the Sage jutsu along with some others, so now I'm so fast, not even a Sharingan could catch me!"

Konohamaru gaped and said, "Like, seriously, Naruto?! You're really that fast?!"

Naruto just smiled and said, "Yep! Believe it!"

Konohamaru waved at Tsunade as Naruto took him to practice, and Naruto made good on his promise; as soon as Konohamaru blinked, they were at the training grounds. The people that were there blinked and looked at him as he put Konohamaru down on the ground as he said, "Heh… See, I told you I was fast, Konohamaru!"

He beamed up at Naruto and said, "Ha ha, you sure did, Naruto-kun! Thanks again for getting me to practice on time! I'll see you later, ok?"

And with that, he went on his way into the woods to meet up with his team and train. All of the non-sensei adults that were there, Naruto couldn't really recognize, but they all got wide-eyed at his name, so they must've known him.. One had familiar pink hair… she was looking Naruto up and down, with her lips slightly parted and blinking fast with a strange glint in her eyes that Naruto couldn't place…

He took a step forward as he said, "Ummm… I don't wanna sound rude, but… Do I know any of you? I kinda can't remember a whole lot of stuff right now…" he trailed off because all of the adults were still looking at him as if he had dropped from the sky.

It was a few more seconds until they all rushed him and all said, "NARUTO!"

Naruto was on the ground gasping for breath before they all got up and let him get to his feet.

The one with the pink hair huffed and said, "Really, Naruto Uzumaki! You can't remember one of your old cellmates? I'm hurt!"

He blinked and thought for a few seconds.

"Sakura? Sakura Haruno? Is that really you," Naruto asked.

The woman just nodded her head, blushed and held her arms out to him for a hug. He gave her a hug and tried to step back when she put her body flush against his, with certain body parts pushing together but failed; she had a very strong grip…

He pulled away to see that she was blushing furiously.. When he had finally gotten away from her, he looked at all of the others that he had yet to recognize.

The next one wasn't hard to remember; they had gotten into trouble enough times together…

"Yo, Kiba! How's it shakin' man? Hey, where's Akamaru at? Is he still growing," Naruto asked.

Kiba laughed and said, "Yeah, he's still getting pretty big!"

Sakura looked at Naruto and ground out, "How is it that you remember Inuzuka right away, but had to think for a whole millennium before you remembered who I was?!"

Naruto just shrugged and said, "Sorry… I don't know why… Oh well! How's everybody else doin', Kiba? Is Shikamaru still too scared to ask Temari out," Naruto asked.

Naruto hardly even flinched when Sakura tried to use her creepy super-power punch on him and cried out in surprise when her fist hit him, and it hurt her and not him.

Naruto just stared at her and said, "Hey, what was that for, Haruno?" "Oh, My God, Naruto… Did you gain super-powers when you were training with Jiraiya or something?! You're a beast… Not even Sasuke would be able to take a hit like that, and he's always been stronger than you have… What did you learn up there, Naruto?"

Naruto sighed as he told them that he had finally mastered another jutsu besides sage jutsu. "It's a new jutsu, but… I don't know what it's called… So, Jiraiya just told me to come up with my own name for it, so I think I'll call it the 'Armageddon Jutsu'… anyhow, the jutsu pretty much makes me invincible; and that combined with the chakra levels that are always emanating from Kyuubi… Well, I honestly don't think anybody would be able to step to me, so if anyone ever tries, I don't have anything to worry about… Well, I'll catch up with you guys later, yeah? See ya!" and with that, Naruto was off to see the rest of Konoha.

*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~Back In Town~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*

As Naruto was walking, he heard a squeal, and, using his new speed from the 'Armageddon Jutsu', raced towards the sound at break neck speed. [He was there in three seconds] and gaped at what he saw.

"O-OI! What are you doin' in my damn forest! Cut that out," Naruto yelled.

He was surprised at whose face he saw- Shikamaru… In addition, underneath him was… Temari… 'Ohhhhh… I guess he finally asked her out, huh,' Naruto thought.

"Oops… Heh, heh, sorry 'bout that, Shika… I'll leave you and Temari alone," Naruto said.

Shikamaru looked up at his face and stuttered, "W-Who- NARUTO?! Is that… you," Shikamaru asked.

Naruto just pointedly looked away and nodded his once curtly. Then Shikamaru looked down, saw Temari's livid face, and said, "Oh… not the best circumstances… Ok… Well, I'm gonna get up now and uh, we'll go back into town and pretend that this didn't happen, ok?"

As everyone shrugged their shoulders and made their way back to the road that leads into the main part of town. Temari turned her head to look at Naruto and asked him , "Hey squirt, how'd you get so big? You're packin' some serious muscle. Mind if I feel?" Naruto shyly offered her his arm and she apparently was squeezing with all of her might, but couldn't even flatten the already half-relaxed muscle.

She looked at him and said, "Wow, Kit. I'm really surprised. When I first got to know you when you saved Gaara, I honestly didn't think that you were going to be any stronger than what you already had been. I guess I was wrong. I'm proud of you, Naruto-kun."

Naruto just smiled and ducked his head shyly as he said, "Heh, thanks Temari. That means a lot to me."

As they were walking, they saw a familiar longhaired black head. Naruto thought it was Hinata at first, and if it was, then he wasn't about to approach her. Ever since they were kids, when he went around her, or got too close, she would always faint… and if the look that Sakura gave him said anything… Well, then he definitely wasn't going to go around females until they got used to his newfound 'hotness'… However, as the person turned around, he saw that it was Neji Hyuuga! Naruto's face lit up as Neji smiled at him and started walking up to them.

Neji stopped right in front of Naruto and said, "The Great Uzumaki Naruto! How've you been? You're finally done with your training, then? How did it go? Did the old sage give you a run for your money, Naruto?"

Shikamaru bragged about Naruto's new "Armageddon Jutsu" for him, and that got Neji's attention.

His eyebrows went into his hairline as he said "Really now? Would you care to demonstrate this new power, Naruto?"

Naruto shifted uncomfortably as he said, "Uh, no, actually, I wouldn't… it's a really powerful jutsu, and I don't want to hurt you, Neji… I don't even know how much damage this thing could do. I haven't really tested out the limits of it yet, or how much I can control it…"

The Hyuuga looked at him with a raised eyebrow and said, "Oh, yeah… I would say this is one seriously powerful jutsu if Naruto backs out of a no-strings-attached-fight. If he's not willing to fight, then it has to be packin' some serious power." Neji tilted his head to the as he addressed Naruto when he said, "You're really something, you know that, Naruto?"

Naruto just ducked his head and smiled sheepishly. As the old friends were walking through town, they each went their own way until Naruto was left alone to walk the streets of Konoha. As he went back to his old apartment, he felt someone following him in the shadows, but decided to ignore it… In addition, the chakra was very familiar, too… But... Whatever. As he opened the door and went inside, Naruto could still feel the other presence, so he sighed and said, "All right, look… I don't know who you are or what you want, but you'd better come out soon if you don't wanna be in a world of hurt, catch my drift?" When no one answered, he just huffed and sat on his couch and took a nap. He sighed as Naruto's consciousness finally started to slip away.

'Finally, the dobe went to sleep… now I can see where all of this chakra is coming from… he must be using the Biju's chakra… I'll just have to find out….'

With that, he resolved to come back every night for a full week and a half to watch him and try to get an insight as to where this power was coming from…

*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~The Next Day~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*

Naruto woke up the next morning in his bed without any recollection of how he got there, and in a different outfit than what had had on yesterday. Therefore, he naturally suspected that someone had really been here last night; that someone had watched him last night… but he still couldn't think of who it could've been, so he let it slide for now.

As he walked the streets of Konoha, it was the summer time, and he was wearing a heavy-material shirt and a pair of slightly baggy pants. Naruto got hot, so he took off the shirt, and did so as he was passing a group of girls that he vaguely remembered making fun of him in his childhood.

As he took his shirt off and continued, one of them stopped him by saying, "H-Hey! Is your name…? Uzumaki, Naruto by any chance?"

When he only turned half of his body around from his waist up, the girls all collectively gasped as they all saw his familiar, devastating cerulean blue eyes and long, now soft golden spikes and the group of muscles that had collected at his hips.

The girls were making a spectacle of him. All of the girls were talking to him animatedly about where he had been, what he had done. Moreover, he smiled through all of it as he realized that they were all genuinely interested in what he said.

Then, the girls asked to come with him to go train, and Naruto happily let them all tag along. As the girls were sitting with Naruto at his team's old training grounds, they asked to see his back and all squealed as they saw his tattoo.

"Wow, Naruto-kun! That's such a big tattoo-did it hurt," Ino asked.

Naruto just smiled and said, "Heh, Naw… It didn't hurt too badly, but it would've cost me a fortune if I hadn't already known the person that let me have it free! It's pretty cool, ne? It goes all the way to my lower back- wanna see the rest," Naruto asked innocently.

All the girls looked at one another, giggled and said in unison, "Yes!" Naruto let his already dangerously low pants hang even lower on his hips, turned around, and showed them that his tattoo did in fact go all the way to spot where his back almost met his butt and the girls all fondled his back, arms, chest, and abs. All of which was severely toned, by the way.

When one of the girls tried to slip her hand where it ought not to be going so casually, he yelped, laughed and said, "Whoa! Slow down, there Speed Racer! We can get to that eventually, but I have to get you know you all first… Well, execpt you Ino… I'm sorry, but I just can't look at you that way-you're like a sister to me… but I'll have your friends meet you later, ok?"

Ino just looked at him, smiled, shook her head and waved to him as he left. Naruto winked at her as he lead the girls back into town and told them all that they'd get their chance, but only one-on-one. As he went with the first girl, he saw that she didn't live that far from his own apartment.

As she led him into the bedroom, she asked, "So, Naruto… do you have any preferences for foreplay?"

Naruto rubbed the back of his neck, causing his hip muscles to flex right next to his lower stomach and she follwed the movement hungrily. She bit her lip and looked up at him trhough mascara-covered eyelashes as she said, "C'mon now, don't be shy… you can tell me… do you like blowjobs, hand jobs, grinding…"

Naruto bit his lip as he thought and said, "I think I'll leave your mouth and hands alone and go with grinding. That ok?"

The girl eagerly nodded her head as she gently pushed her body up against his. Not even two minutes into the foreplay session, he got as hard as steel as she had sucked on the spot where his shoulder and neck met. As she bit, nibbled and suckled he made all kinds of noise. "Mmmm… Uhhhh…"

Then, to his surprise and to her delight, he purred… as she looked at him, he looked at her and signaled to her that he was more than ready. She eagerly took off her clothes, then as she was about to take Naruto's pants off, she was amused to find that he didn't have any underwear on…

"Naruto, you don't wear boxers? That could be very dangerous," she joked.

Naruto just smiled as he said, "Well, I still haven't had a chance to wash my clothes yet… I only just got back yesterday and I didn't have any clean underwear when I got out of the shower."

She told him that even after they had their hook up that he cold call on her for anything-including washing his clothes, because she had her own washer and dryer.

Naruto agreed and said, "Ok… shall we, then?"

He slowly pushed her down onto the bed, took off his pants, and looked at her as he was above her. She looked a little bit scared, because she had looked down and saw what she would deem as a "monster".

He laughed gently and said, "It's ok sweetie… I'll be gentle and I won't bite… unless you want me to that is."

Then with one fluid motion, he enterd her and she moaned. She looked at him and said, "K-kami, Naruto… you're so… big…"

*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~Two-And-A-Half-Hours Later~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*

She was panting weakly as she said, "N-no more… I can't… go any longer…"

And Naruto hadn't even came yet… but in her defense, she had already came like, three times, but maybe her friends would be a little bit more prepared than their friend had been… but it was fun with her, though . He smiled at her sweetly as he put his pants back on and said, "It's all right- we can continue another day if you'd like, Shania."

She smiled tiredly as she said, "All right. That would be nice. Next time I'll be more prepared- I promise. Bye, Naruto. See you later, ok?"

Naruto waved to her as he left to go meet the other girls… 'This is going to be a very fun afternoon…' Naruto thought to himself.

He couldn't do anything with the next girl because she was already in a relationship, and she was also still a virgin.

He smiled as he told her, "Well, I hope that he makes you happy, sweetheart."

He lightly chucked her chin, kissed her cheek and told her that he would see her around town.

But when he went to the last girl's house… boy oh boy, she was a real showstopper! She was working Naruto like a dog! She was making him crazy with desire because she was teasing him and making him wait, so when he finally got in, he worked her just as fiercely as she had worked him. However, he had not prepared for this- she had a very unbreakable stamina it seemed. She would probably be able to go for the whole damned day!

However, he didn't have that kind of stamina now because of the traveling that he had done yesterday. He came out of the last girls' house panting. Her name was Shawna. He waved to her as he thought, 'man, that girl… she's a good one! I didn't think that she would make me tap into Kyuubi's chakra…'

Naruto was still walking around the village half-naked and smiled when people asked to see his tattoo and gasped when he said that it didn't stop until his lower back. Then, he went back to Tsunade's office and was met by her blushing assistant.

Naruto nervously rubbed the back of his head as he said, "Ummm… hi… is Granny Tsunade here?"

Shizune just looked at him and silently nodded.

Naruto laughed gently as he said, "Would it help you if I put my shirt on, Shizune?"

Shizune smiled shyly, shook her head 'no', and led him into the Hokage's office. He grinned widely when he saw his fellow Junchuriki in his grandmother's office.

"Hey, Gaara! How's it goin'? You been okay? I saw Temari earlier today! How's Kankuro doin'? Is he still playin' with his dolls?"

Gaara just laughed quietly as he said, "No… he's learned some new jutsus he can use without his "dolls" and he's actually doing fairly well with them. How've you been, Naruto? Have you been well, also? I heard from Neji that you have a new jutsu besides sage… Would yo be willing to show me sometime? Maybe we could train together one of these days… if you wish, Naruto…"

Naruto's smile could've lit up the entire town as he said, "Yeah! Of course, Gaara! I'd love to train with you! When are you off "Kazekage Duty"? Maybe we could train tomorrow if you wanna… I don't have anything going on for the whole week, so I'll be able to train whenever you want, man! Just call me and tell me when and I'll be there, ok? I'll see you later!"

After Tsunade was finished talking to Gaara in their annual counsel meeting, she took Naruto into her office and said, "Now, what's this about a new jutsu I keep hearing, Naruto? Is there something that you're not telling me? You know you can talk to me, Naruto… about anything… I just want you to remember that, ok?"

Naruto just smlied brightly and said, "Of course I know that, Granny Tsunade! I wouldn't ever forget it!" She looked relieved as he said this. "Well, Grandma, I hate to break it to you, but I have something I have to do, but if you need me later, I'll be at my apartment, ok? If you have to get somebody after me, send Shizune over- she's the only one of your assistants that I actually like. See ya," Naruto said.

Tsunade sighed as she watched her ball of sunshine bounce out the door and down the hall.
