"Hell…?" Sarutobi said confused,

"So you did die… but how come you are back here?" Sarutobi said looking at the boy in front of him wearing nothing but dusty pants.

"Die? No, not like that kind of hell, I mean like the demon world kind of hell, well I did go to the underworld hell once but there was nothing but crying pussies there…" Naruto, the boy with ash white hair said while scratching his cheek, which was decorated with both scar like whisker marks and a pair of red lines.

"Demon world…? The Kyuubi?!" Sarutobi panicked and looked at Naruto, Naruto made no other reaction than to tilt his head slightly to the right and to close his eyes.

"Kyuubi? Who's that?" Naruto asked interested in who made the Sandaime Hokage panic so.

"What? You don't know of him?" Sarutobi said questioning as he looked at the boy.

"Kyuubi…Kyuubi…ah you mean the demon lord Kyuubi! No, I didn't meet him while in the demon world, though I wasn't really trying to find him so meeting him would have been quite a coincident…" Naruto said remembering all his time in the demon world.

"He doesn't know of the Kyuubi? That might be good, or bad… he doesn't know he is a human sacrifice but he also doesn't know why people hated him so much…" Sarutobi thought analyzing the situation like always, which had earned him the name "The Professor" in the ninja world.

"Well, I apologize for my earlier rudeness, I've had a bad week…" Sarutobi said apologizing to Naruto,

"No worries Jiichan, in the demon world people would attack you for much lesser reasons…" Naruto said shaking it of nonchalantly.

"Well why don't you sit down and tell me more about what has happened…" Sarutobi said offering Naruto a chair, "Sure, but what about baldy?" Naruto asked pointing at Ibiki on the floor, passed out.

"Hmm, you are right…" Sarutobi said and walked up to Ibiki and did a hand seal with his left hand,

"Shock Hand!" Sarutobi shouted and hit his right palm at Ibiki sending a jolt of electricity through him.

"AAHH!" Ibiki shouted and stood up in a heart beat.

"Ibiki, the situation is under control here, I want you to forget about this nice young man and to never again speak of him unless I approve it, understood?" Sarutobi questioned the Shinobi in front of him.

"Yes, as you wish Hokage-sama!" Ibiki shouted and stood up with his back straight and his hands at his sides, (You know like in the army, my English vocabulary is slightly limited so I don't know the exact word...).

"Good! You are dismissed!" Sarutobi shouted and turned around and walked to his chair while Ibiki puffed out.

"Aren't you the military leader…" Naruto joked,

"Well after you disappeared I might have gotten slightly more objective about my position…but I still try my best to be a warm leader." Sarutobi said with a small smile, he hadn't gotten slightly colder, he had frozen almost to the core, most people were deathly afraid of him…but that was about to change for good.

"Well about me getting my apartment back…" Naruto began remembering he used to have a house.

"Well, that might not be possible, you see, after you left you're house was vandalized…" Sarutobi said and Naruto nodded,

"Yeah I kinda expected that to happen…" Naruto said looking to his side and scratching his cheek.

"then the entire apartment complex was ripped apart…" Sandaime continued making Naruto sweatdrop,

"And burned to the ground…" Naruto's sweatdrop doubled in size,

"And then salt was thrown on the ground to keep anything from growing in there…" Sarutobi finished with Naruto's sweatdrop three times its original size.

"O-Okay…looks like I'll have to sleep in trees again huh…" Naruto said laughing with his swetdrop.

"Sleep, in a…tree? There is no way I am letting you sleep in a tree, you could catch a cold, or fall in you're sleep. I am giving you a new house, yes I know just the perfect house…" Sarutobi said and began digging in his papers.

"A new house?" Naruto repeated,

"That would be nice…" Naruto said thinking about sleeping in a bed.

"Aha! Here it is!" Sarutobi shouted pulling out a huge book from the pile of papers, scrolls and books.

"This is a catalogue of living areas in Konoha…" Sarutobi said and began searching for a certain page.

"Ah here… see this house, #104888, is a house where one of Konoha's greatest heroes lived once, and I am quite certain that person wouldn't have minded if you lived there." Sarutobi said and gave the opened book to Naruto, the house Sarutobi spoke of was judging by the picture, an estate in the clan area, it had a wall round the entire estate and a large garden around the house it self which was placed in the middle of the entire area. The House itself was not to big but not that small either, it had a nice comfortable paint on it that was hard to describe in words and there was two floors.

"Wow… a nice house, who did it belong to?" Naruto asked interested about this hero.

"Lets just say he would be like a father for a even greater hero of this village…" Sandaime said with a smile.

"Huh? A hero? Aw… you know that won't say anything to me! I never read history or stuff like that!" Naruto whined.

"I know, I know…" Sarutobi chuckled as Naruto whined wanting to know who the house belonged to.

"Well its about time for my other meetings to begin soon, so could you go and check the apartment and later we could go and eat at say, Ichiraku? On my tab of course…" Sandaime said looking at his watch.

"Yes sir!" Naruto shouted in enthusiasm, he had been at Ichiraku earlier but not had any money with him so he hadn't gotten any ramen…

"Good, I have some spare time at eight a clock so meet me then at Ichiraku will you…" Sarutobi said with a pleased look.

"Uh eight, a clock?" Naruto asked unsure, he had a faint memory of the time system but it was still mostly gray.

"…oh what ever… I will make sure you learn how to know time but for now take this watch." Sarutobi said handing Naruto his watch after adjusting it slightly.

"At seven forty-five it will begin beeping to alarm you, when it does begin beeping come to the stall alright?" Sarutobi asked while he put on the watch around Naruto's arm.

"Okay, when it beeps I run to Ichiraku… got it." Naruto nodded and was about to run off.

"Hey Naruto wait, you don't even know where the house is at." Sarutobi said throwing a key to Naruto.

"Yes I do, I saw the picture, I was there yesterday and I don't really need a key but thanks anyways! See ya at eight Jiichan!" Naruto shouted and jumped out the window leaving Sarutobi alone to think.

"Its good to have you back Naruto… I can't wait for the next council meeting, I better bring a camera with for it…" Sarutobi said to himself as he chuckled at the mental image of the clan leaders faces, especially the two oldest, Homura and Koharu, his good old teammates will love the news… As the new Jounin senseis for this years team appeared to give report they were greeted by the sight of a Hokage in a full blown laughter.


Naruto was jumping on the roofs of buildings at high speed towards the clan area to find his new house. Naruto landed in front of heavy looking gates in a high wall, he saw through the gate the house.

"Okay I guess this is where I use the key…" Naruto said and stuck the key into the keyhole and turned it, it wouldn't budge, he tried to turn it to the other direction and a click was heard. As Naruto pulled out the key the gate opened smoothly letting Naruto in, Naruto closed the gate which closed with a heavy thunk after him. Naruto looked at the surrounding garden, it was absolutely out of control, it must have been growing for at least ten years without any grooming, just the way Naruto liked it. Naruto then walked to the house which was pretty much rotten to the point a gust of wind could destroy it.

"…I think Jiichan fooled me…" Naruto said and blowed at the door to take away the dust but made the entire house collapse.

"Okay…so… I'm supposed to build a new house huh?" Naruto thought aloud and lifted his left hand and summoned some fire natured chakra into his hand in the form of a fireball.

"Well goodbye old house…" Naruto said and threw the ball at the pile of rubbish making it lit aflame and burn. After making sure all the rubbish had burned and all the fire was out Naruto left for the woods to get some building materials. Naruto closed the gate and began running towards the village gate at unhuman speed, he arrived at the gate and ran by without getting noticed by the guards into the forest where he looked for a good thick tree which he found easily from the ancient forest,

"Haa…" Naruto took a low stance and roundhouse kicked the tree, his foot going straight through the tree, cutting it at almost its roots. As the tree fell Naruto couldn't resist but to shout

"TIMBER!!" Though he knew nobody was around. After it fell he kicked and chopped with his hands all the branches and the top off.

"Yosh! And then back to my house." Naruto said and picked the heavy trunk on his shoulder and began running though he noticed it was hard to run with it due to the trees so he lifted it straight up and ran with it until he came to the wall around Konoha where he put the tree leaning against the wall and he ran up and from the lifted the tree back up on his shoulder, he jumped down and lifted it back upwards and ran to where the house was to be.

"Puh… that's was a good exercise…okay next step, turn the trunk into boards." Naruto stood up after resting and walked to the trunk which was stuck to the ground facing upwards cuz it was to long to fit inside the wall. Naruto crouched down and then jumped to about where the trunk ended and began kicking it into ten meter long pieces as he fell down, though when he landed he had to jump backwards not to get under the rain of thick long logs. After that was done he walked to one of the logs and bit his thumb, he smeared his blood so it went in a straight line across the log, as soon as the blood touched the log it began eating through it as if it was acid, Though that isn't to long away from the truth… as the blood cut the log equally big halves he lifted the halve upwards like the trunk had been, he then smeared the blood on it top so it would burn its way through dividing the logs half in to several rough planks. After checking that the planks were all the same size he did it with the other half of the log and then repeated the process with the rest of the logs until he had a big pile of planks left.

"I think I can still build on the old stones on which the last house was, but I need to make the planks smoother and I need nails as well… I'll just ask the old man for help…" Naruto said and lay down on his back to look at the sky, it wasn't dark yet so he might as well do something.

"Ah well I just might as well go look around town." Naruto said and hoped up on his legs (like some professional wrestlers do.) and walked to the gate and left for a walk.

"Its nice in here…" Naruto said and smiled while walking down the already less crowded streets of Konoha.


"Team 7 passes sir." A tall man with gray hair and most of his face covered said to the almost fossilized Hokage, just kidding, but seriously he's old.

"Team 8 passes sir." A woman with dark brown hair and red eyes said to the Hokage who nodded.

"Team 10 passes as well, though they're a bunch of losers unless I train 'em hard enough." A man with brown hair and beard along with a cigarette in his mouth said.

"Hmm…good, good, you are dismissed." Sarutobi said looking at his watch while all but the last speaker left.

"Hey pops, what's up?" The smoking man said,

"Something new has come up, why are you asking Asuma?" Sarutobi asked taking out his pipe and filling it with some tobacco and lighting it.

"I was just worried, instead of being you're usual serious self today, you were pretty, relaxed for a lack of better word…" Asuma said looking at his father take a deep breath and exhale a big ring of smoke.

"Its almost time, would you like to join me for some ramen?" Sarutobi asked as he got up from his chair and walked to the door.

"Ramen? Wha? Oh whatever… sure I haven't had any in a long while." Asuma said and followed his father. After walking for a few minutes they arrived at the ramen stall known as Ichiraku.

"I haven't been here in a while…" Asuma said and took a deep inhale of the ramen smell coming from inside the stall. "Yo Jiichan!" A voice shouted from above them, Both Sarutobi's looked up to see a boy in only pants and with ash white hair on top of the ramen stand, Asuma actually thought it was an old man at first.

"I think you're late, I came here as fast as I could after this thing beeped but I still had to wait for you…" Naruto said and jumped down in front of the two.

"Ah, sorry about that, I only wanted to make sure you got it early incase you got lost or if you were far away from here…" Sandaime said and walked in with Naruto with Asuma following them.

"So, who's the guy with you?" Naruto asked looking at Asuma.

"Oh him, that is Sarutobi Asuma, my son." Sandaime said and sat down on a Stoll.

"Yo, so pops, who's the kid?" Asuma asked and sat down next to his dad, Naruto sat down on the other side of Sandaime and began reading through the menu.

"Haha…you are never going to guess…" Sandaime said and ordered.

"One vegetable ramen with some fried rice." Sandaime ordered while Asuma was thinking about his fathers words.

"Ah! Its to hard to decide… oh well Jiichan's paying… Hey! One of everything please!" Naruto shouted making Sandaime almost spit out the water he was drinking on.

"Hey hey, are you sure you can eat all that?" Sandaime tried to make Naruto back out, though in vain.

"But Jiichan, I haven't had ramen in years…" Naruto whined,

"Okay okay…" Sandaime agreed though it would dent even his wallet, the list of ramens at Ichiraku was the biggest in the world.

"So who is he?" Asuma asked tired of waiting.

"Well, how about you introduce yourself to Asuma." Sandaime said to Naruto.

"Oh yeah, sorry. I'm Uzumaki Naruto and I'm gonna be the next Hokage." Naruto said with a grin making all the people in the stall, not counting Sandaime or Naruto, freeze.

"U-Uzumaki Naruto?" Asuma repeated not really sure what to make out of it.

"Naruto-kun?" Ayame, the ramen bar waitress repeated in disbelief as did the owner, Teuchi.

"Naruto! Where have you been all these years, I always knew that you couldn't be dead!" Teuchi gladly exclaimed,

"Me? I've been in hell for the last few years." Naruto said grinning from ear to ear.

"Hell? Right… whatever you say Naruto…" Teuchi said while preparing the ramen,

"Yeah Naruto, and we almost went bankrupt after you disappeared! Don't you ever dare to pull another one like that!" Ayame shouted at Naruto while waving some random cooking utensil. "Uh…sorry…I uh won't do it again…" Naruto apologized not really sure why he was apologizing for, he was the one who had spent most of his life in hell fighting to survive.

"Umh, that's good now eat up!" Ayame said and handed Naruto's first bowl. "Thanks, Itadakimasu!" Naruto said as he received the bowl and took a pair of chopsticks,

"Here you go as well Hokage-sama." Ayame said giving the aged Hokage his bowl of ramen and fried rice.

"Thank you miss." Sandaime said and followed Naruto's advice and took a pair of chopsticks and began eating, though at a much slower pace.

"Excuse me…are you going to order something?" Ayame asked from the thinking smoker.

"Huh? What did you say?" Asuma asked snapping out of his reverie.

"She asked if you're going to order anything boy." The older Sarutobi said hitting the back of Asuma's head.

"Ouch! Hey! You don't have to hit me you senile man!" Asuma shouted while raising his fist at the Hokage.

"Hey, hey, you dare to raise you're fist at not only you're father but also at you're leader?" Sandaime said raising his fist up as well like his son.

"Huh? Don't bring you're position in here, you're just an old man with a funky hat!" Asuma retaliated at his father.

"Well this funky hat is ordering you to shut up and to order some food!" Sandaime shouted and turned around and resumed to eating with a 'hmpf'.

"Whatever… one pork ramen thank you…" Asuma ordered with a defiant look on his face.

"And for arguing back at me you are grounded for a week." Sandaime said after swallowing a plump of rice.

"Wha?! Forget about that! I'm 28 already, you can't ground me!" Asuma shouted and made a raspberry at Sandaime who flinched at it.

"Why you…" Sandaime said and returned the face at his son, and soon both were in a full blown make-an-ugly-face-war with each other.

"Stop it! Look at you two! Two grown men behaving like kids!" Ayame shouted finally at the two making both stop.

"Sorry…" Both Sarutobi's apologized in fear of the woman.

"Umh, now eat!" Ayame shouted and gave Asuma his order.

"You two are really close to each other right?" Naruto asked slurping down his noodles while looking at the two men.

"Yeah, you could say that…" Asuma said eating his pork ramen.

"So why do you two fight then?" Naruto asked moving onto another bowl.

"Well, its not really fighting, it more like, uh… how do I explain this…" Asuma tried to explain while scratching his head.

"It's the way we tell each other that we love each other, its pretty much how we relax…" Sandaime explained getting a nod from Naruto.

"Though it is not that usual for people to behave like this, its more normal to people who live on the edge, like Shinobi for example, Teuchi-san and Ayame-kun here for example don't fight so often I imagine but I could be wrong, anyhow, it varies with people." Sandaime said in his sage like way while taking a sip of his water. Naruto nodded and looked at the Ichiraku's, than at the Sarutobi's,

"I see…" Naruto thought aloud and ate a fish cake. The trio ate in silence, well relative silence as Naruto was chomping in huge amounts of ramen…though neither of the Sarutobi's really minded. "Hey Jiichan, about the house…" Naruto began.

"Yes, what about it, is it good?" Sandaime asked waiting for Naruto to tell how amazing the house was.

"Well you see… it was really in a bad shape, I kinda touched it and it broke apart…you see the wood had rotten to the core…" Naruto tried to explain.

"It broke? Rotten to the core…?" Sandaime asked shocked and then he sweatdropped,

"Yeah, I should have known that twelve years would take its toll on the house…" Sandaime thought while he tried to think what to do next.

"So yeah, an cuz the place was nice I got some wood and made them into boards… though now it should be turned into a house…so I need like nails and a hammer and like uh… a saw…no wait I don't need a saw…" Naruto said finishing deep in thought. Sandaime put his hand on Naruto's head,

"Don't worry about it, I will have somebody rebuild it according to the old blueprints, meanwhile you shall stay at my place, agreed?" Sandaime said with a smile.

"Uh…are you sure? I mean okay." Naruto said with a small smile gracing his face.

"What? Oyaji (Pops/dad) is going to invite him over? He's more important to him than I thought…well he did lose him back then…" Asuma thought looking at his father of a Hokage and the demon boy Naruto. The rest of the night the trio ate in relative silence and incredibly enough Naruto managed to finish at the same time as the Two others even though he had a much larger amount of food ordered.

"Well Naruto lets go to my estate shall we? You always wanted to be Hokage right? Well now's you're chance to see how a Hokage lives." Sarutobi said smiling as they left the stall walking towards the center of Konoha, with Asuma following them. After walking for a while they arrived at the second largest building in Konoha, the current Hokage estate, Usually when a new Hokage was chosen the estate would remain with the family and the new Hokage's estate would be the new one, if the new Hokage did not have an estate than one would be built to him, like in Yondaime's case.

"Whoah…!" Naruto exclaimed s he marveled at the size of the building in front of him, it wasn't as tall as the Hokage building but it was definitely wider.

"Welcome to my house…" Sandaime said with a wide smile as he walked in through the door with Asuma after him.

"Night Oyaji, I'm going to bed now…" Asuma said and left walking to a corridor to the left.

"Well follow me Naruto-kun, I will show you to the guest room." Sandaime said and began walking to a corridor to the right with Naruto walking after him, after a short walk they stopped in front of a normal door, Sandaime opened it and walked in with Naruto after him.

"This is you're room for now… Breakfast is at 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 a clock so you can eat even if you wake up early or late, I will send some builders to take care of the house tomorrow, it should be finished by the end of next week." Sandaime said smiling to Naruto and left Naruto to his room. It was a basic Shinobi room with a futon and some spare clothes left on a shelf.

"Huh? Did Jiichan leave me these?" Naruto asked looking at the clothes.

Naruto saw a note hanging above the wall where his futon was.

"Huh, oh the clothes are clean ones in spare for traveling guests, well that means me…and if I need to wash my self there is a hot spring nearby…" Naruto read the note and decided to visit the hot spring, as he hadn't washed in a while. Naruto found a towel next to the clothes so he took it and left, though the estate was large it had a relatively simple design making it almost easy to find the hot springs, there he saw two doors leading in, one had a kanji for man and the other for woman making Naruto slightly confused.

"I'm a boy so…" Naruto walked the door with the man on it and came to a changing room where he took of his pants and tied the towel around his waist and exited through the other door, it led to a steaming pool of water into Naruto stepped in. Naruto walked to the other side and rested his head on the edge of the pool. Naruto spent quite a long while in the warm water relaxing maybe for the first time in a long while, years probably, you could never be to careful in the demon world… After a while two men came to the pool as well Naruto could have greeted but thought it unnecessary as he might not know the two.

"So why did you call me? Even though you're personal hot-springs are very good there are rarely any women here…" One of the men said slightly disappointed by the sound of his voice.

"You idiot of a student, this is important." Sandaime's familiar voice said as a hitting noise was heard along with a groan from the other voice.

"You didn't have to hit me you old man…" the other man said while seemingly holding a bump on his head.

"Uzumaki Naruto is back…" Sandaime said with a calm voice.

"…say what?" The other voice asked not sure.

"He's alive and back." Sandaime said. Naruto got up and decided to make himself known.

"Yo Jiichan." Naruto said with a grin.

"Huh!? Naruto, I didn't know you were here." Sandaime said shocked to know that he had not noticed Naruto's presence.

"So you're Naruto…" A Man with bushy white hair and two red lines across his face, though Naruto's red lines were cooler.

"Yeah, who're you?" Naruto asked looking at the man before him.

"sound of wood being hit against wood I am the great Toad Hermit of Mt. Fuji, one of the Legendary Three of Konoha, the author of the great Icha Icha series, The man who can make any woman scream and even crying babies stop whining before me, I am The great Ji-rai-ya-sama!" Jiraiya Said while hoping on one foot in beat with the wooden sounds.

"Uh…sweatdrop Nice to meet you?" Naruto said not sure if the odd man was really okay in the head.

"Yes, so, where have you been all these year young Uzumaki?" Jiraiya asked curiously.

"Me? I've been in hell." Naruto said with a large grin on his face. Jiraiya looked at the boy and sweatdropped, and then he looked at Sandaime.

"You want me to train him?" Jiraiya said with a look that said You-gotta-be-shittin-me.

"Yes. I would like that very much." Sandaime said with a smile.

"Well… he looks cool, so… why the hell not." Jiraiya said and leaned back and looked up at the starry night sky. "Why not…" he repeated remembering his last student with a chuckle.
