Hello Ladies and Germs! I hope you liked the last chapter. I will try to update when I can, but I make no promises. Now, ON WITH THE SHOW! She told me, to tell you, to mind your DAMN MOTHERFUCKING BUISNESS BITCH! WRONG SHOW!
The Village Hidden in the Leaves. A bustling village that was the headquarters for the Land of Fire's military force, the ninja. Now much had changed in the six years that our red headed protagonist had been gone, but it certainly didn't feel like the time had flown by for a few people. "Huh." Ayame sighed. "What's wrong sweetheart? Missing Naruto again?" Teuchi asked his daughter. "Yeah, he should be back by now. His class graduated last year." Ayame said, her head in her arms on the table. It had been a long boring day.
The curtains separating the road and the shop moved aside as a taller than average teen entered the ramen stand. His hair and eyes were covered by a traditional rice hat, while his mouth and chin were covered by a high collar jacket. "I'll take five miso, ten shrimp, and three chicken ramens if you don't mind." The teen said. Ayame was shocked at this man's order, as no one had ordered that much since Naruto was around. "C-coming right up." Ayame said writting down the order. "Turn on the stove Papa! We got a big order!" Ayame yelled to the back as she placed the paper on an order rack. "That's quite a lot for one man, are you sure you can eat that all?" Ayame asked. "As sure as the sky can be green, or black, or even red." The teen said confusing Ayame. "Ooookay then, I'm going to see how the order is coming along." She said. She had a nagging feeling in the back of her mind that the man's voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"How's it coming Papa?" Ayame asked as she made it to the back. "I got the chicken done if you want to take it out. Is it just one guy there to eat this?" Teuchi asked. "Yeah, he's got the appetite of Naruto it seems." Ayame said. "Is it him?" Teuchi asked. "I don't think so, but its really hard to tell." Ayame said, grabbing the chicken and moving back to the counter. "Ah, Ichiraku ramen, it's been quite some time since I last had this." The man said. "You've eaten here before?" Ayame asked suprised. "Oh yeah. It's been quite a few years." He said. "How long?" Ayame asked curiously. The nagging feeling eas getting stronger, she just couldn't make it out. "Oh, I don't know. I'd say its been about... six years." He said as he raised his head.
Ayame gasped when she saw his eyes. They were a vibrant blue. The same color as Naruto's "It's been quite a while Ayame, its good to see you." The man said quietly. "naruto." Ayame whispered. "The one, the only." Naruto said. Ayame ran out the stand, alerting Teuchi who was finishing the order, and trapped Naruto in a bear hug. "Ayame, what's going-" Teuchi started as he came out of the kitchen. "I missed you so much." Ayame sobbed into his jacket. "Naruto is that you?" Teuchi asked.
"Yep, I'm finally back." The red head said as he comforted Ayame. "You've grown quite beautiful Ayame." Naruto said after she let go. "T-thank you Naruto." Ayame said with a blush. Teuchi just chuckled at the scene. "Well now, I better not become a Grandpa anytime soon." He teased. Naruto and Ayame blushed harder upon hearing this. "Now eat up, I bet you still need to talk to the Hokage." The old chef said. "Yeah I gotta talk to the old monkey at some point. But I figured if the Anbu didn't alert him already, then they seriously need me back to keep up their training." Naruto said with a foxy grin.
"Seems like that hasn't changed about you Naruto." Ayame said with a smile. "Nah, I'm mostly the same old Naruto you knew, just stronger and more mature to a degree." Naruto said. As he ate he filled in the Ichiraku's in on his journeys and training. "Well, I better head to the tower. I want to get this over with. I'll see you later Teuchi. Have a good night Ayame." Naruto said with a blush. "I can see my grandkids now, rusty brown hair with blue eyes." Teuchi said as he cleaned up the counter. "Papa!"
"Excuse me, I need to speak with the Hokage." Naruto said to the secretary. "Hm, he should be available right now." She said as she looked over a schedule. "Yep, go right in." She said politely. "Thank you." Naruto said as he entered the office. Hiruzen was currently facing the arch-enemy of all Kage's worldwide. Paperwork. Upon hearing the door open and close, Hiruzen looked up to see a stranger enter the office. "Yes may I help you?" He asked. "Jeeze man, the anbu sure are lacking." Naruto said. "And what makes you say that?" The Hokage asked wearily. "I say that because theh had yet to inform you that I had arrived." Naruto said before taking off his hat and unzipping his jacket. "Naruto! Welcome back." Hiruzen said after Naruto had unveiled himself. "It's good to be back Gramps." Naruto said as he sat down. "I wasn't kidding when I said the anbu are loosing their touch. I've been in the village about four hours." Naruto said, shocking the Hokage. "You wouldn't happen to still be a prankster by heart would you?" He asked the red head.
"By day, by water, by heart. Why do you ask?" Naruto asked. "I hope the way your speaking isn't some kind of quirk, is it?" Hiruzen asked. "Well, hehe, it kinda is, but I don't go overboard, at least I don't believe I do. It just sorta started happening after I started training with the fox." Naruto said. Hiruzen rubbed his temples. "Huh. Very well then. Anyway, as it seems that you brought up the anbu are starting to get rusty, how about I give you an a-ranked mission to find the weaknesses in them, record them, and then prank them back into shape?" Hiruzen asked. "It seems we have an accord." Naruto said with a foxy smile.
"Now then, where would you put yourself in terms of skill now that your trip is over?" The old man asked. "Since I lack the necessary experience, I would say mid chunin for most of my skills, while my stealth is at anbu level. If I had more experience, I might even be low jonin when I release my resistance seals." Naruto explained. "So you successfully created resistance seals. I would say that you are now a high journeyman in seals. What might you say your field of expertise lie?" Hiruzen asked. "Hm... I would say I'm either a hard hitting trickster, or an infiltration and assassination based ninja." Naruto said. "Interesting, I will keep that in mind when the genin test comes around next week. Which you I'm assuming will be apart of." Hiruzen said. "Yep, I know I missed my classes test, but I said that might happen, and I would say that it was worth it." Naruto said.
"Very well then. I have an apartment ready for you, it's not the last one, this one is in near the shinobi district while still in the market district. You'll live there till your clan home is built, and you become a chunin." Hiruzen explained. "Thank kami. That last apartment was ready to fall down." Naruto said in relief. "It actually did about a year after you left." Hiruzen smiled. "I think that will be all Naruto, here's the keys to your new apartment. I will warn you about your neighbor though, he's very... eccentric." Hiruzen sweatdropped. "Alright, see ya later Gramps." Naruto said as he started to leave. "Oh yes, one more thing Naruto. Do you still hold the same dream?" Hiruzen asked.
"I'm sorry to say this, but no, I don't. If I am chosen to be Hokage, I will be happy, and accept unless there are prior engagements, but my dream now is to rebuild the Uzumaki clan, and to make my mother proud." Naruto said. "I believe, that that is a better dream Naruto." Hiruzen said with a smile before the red head left the office. "Get me Anko." Hiruzen said into his intercom. Five minutes later the bandana wearing ninja walked in. "You called Lord Hokage?" Anko asked. "Indeed Anko. I remember that you've been wanting to be promoted for a while to full jonin correct?" Hiruzen asked. "Yeah! Has it finally happened?!" Anko asked excitedly. "Yes, but there is a catch." The old man said. Anko calmed down when she heard this. "What is it?" She asked. "I want you to take on a genin team."
Class was currently in session for the genin hopefuls. There was one week left till the genin test, and their sensei, Iruka, was trying to instill some last minute knowledge. "SHUT UP!" Iruka yelled using his demon head jutsu. "Now, a ninja must always-"
"Know when the class does not care." Said a voice interrupting the scarred ninja. Standing in the doorway was Naruto. "Who are you?" Iruka asked. "Naruto Uzumaki, nice ta' meet ya'." He said as he entered the classroom. A minute later the Hokage walked in. "Ah, Lord Hokage, how may I help you?" Iruka asked. Almost everyone in the classroom looked at the two in confusion and respect. "I'm just here to drop off young Naruto here to class. He shall be joining you for this week and be taking the genin test with you all." Hiruzen smiled at them. "O-of course Sir." Iruka stuttered. "Hey! Why does he get to just come in here and take the test while we have been here for years!?" A boy with a dog on his head demanded.
"Good question Kiba. And your question shall get the answer it deserves. He is here, because I said he will be." The Hokage said, causing almost everyone to fall onto their faces. "Alright Naruto, don't blow anything up." Hiruzen smirked as he left the classroom. "No promises Old man!" Naruto yelled back. Everyone looked at Naruto in confusion. "...Right. So, Naruto, do you mind giving yourself an introduction?" Iruka asked. "But of course." Naruto said, turning to the students. "Hello everyone, my name, as I said, is Naruto Uzumaki. I am fourteen, and have been out of the village for the past six years." Naruto said. "Thank you Naruto, please take a seat." Iruka said.
Naruto made his way to the back of the classroom, where a seat was open next to a boy wearing sunglasses. "Nice glasses." Naruto said as he sat down. The boy just nodded as he turned back to the lecture. Iruka was taking about what makes a ninja, trying to reinforce five years worth of knowledge into his students. This week is gonna suck... Naruto thought to himself as he laid his head down on the table.
"Now, the Shodai Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was the only known user of the- Naruto, wake up!" Iruka said in the middle of his lecture. When Naruto didn't stir, the scarred chunin grabbed and eraser and threw it at high genin speeds at the redheads forehead. Iruka's eyes widened as Naruto caught the eraser with his teeth. "That was very rude." Naruto said after spitting the eraser out. Everyone looked at Naruto in either awe, or disgust. "Just pay attention." Iruka said before turning back to the chalkboard.
"Haha, I doubted that Naruto's patience had improved from his childhood." The Hokage said as he observed from his crystal ball.
Alright everyone, I hope you like it. So Naruto's back, and next chapter we get the team together, train together, and possible exploded together. I bid you all adieu.
