chapter four
''Naruto-kun'' the blue haired heiress muttered as she paced the lenght of the room where she was staying, the uzukage was kind enough to give all of them their own personal room. Hinata could still remember when she first heard that Naruto had been banished, she was depressed for days,she didn't eat, she just wanted to be with her Naruto-kun. For five years they didn't hear from Naruto, not a rumor, nothing, it was like he just did not exist anymore and that hurt more than any wound she has ever received, imagine her surprise when she found out that Naruto was the uzukage of the renowed Demon village. She sighed tiredly as she laid down on the bed,she closed her eyes and their meeting earlier with Naruto came into focus like a movie
xx Flashbackxx
'' I trust the journey here was good to you?'' The Uzukage asked. There was no answer, everybody was still in shock 'it can't be' Sakura thought ''Naruto-kun?'' Sakura asked quietly not quite believing her eyes that this was her long lost and banished team mate. Before the uzukage could answer a knock sounded on the door followed by an ''I am coming in'' the door opened to reveal a red haired teen carrying a gourd on his back with a tatoo of 'Ai' on his forehead, even though his attire was different from when they first saw him, he was still recognised as Gaara of the desert, They all stiffened as he entered the room and took a seat beside the Uzukage, he was different, his eyes was calm not as crazed as they were five years ago during the chuunin exams. If the konoha ninja's were doubting who the Uzukage was before they certainly were not now '' This is such a drag'' Shikamaru exclaimed as he yawned. Everybody lauged at that and the tension in the room dissipated somewhat. ''Naruto, how have you been?'' Kakashi asked his student tentatively '' well i have been good'' Naruto replied '' who knew being a kage was so much work'' Naruto continued while smiling. '' I am sure you guys are still tired from your journey. How long are you here for?'' Naruto asked them '' about a week'' Kakashi replied '' Good, you go ahead and rest and we will talk about the alliance tomorrow, Gaara will take you to your living quaters'' Naruto continued and they were dismissed and escorted to their quaters by a silent Gaara who didn't answer any of their questions.

This new Naruto was different from the old one, all the hyperactiveness and the shouting and the optimismic behaviour that the old Naruto had was gone in this new one. Not that he was cold, his eyes still held their warmness and he still smiled but he was a lot calmer and a lot wiser now, with that thought Hinata fell into a restless sleep.

The next day saw the konoha ninjas in the uzukage's office waiting to discuss the alliance ''Alright lets get to business'' Naruto said, Gaara was once again seated next to him. Kakashi brought out the papers from his pouch and passed them onto Naruto. He read the paper carefully and paseed it to Gaara once he was done. Gaara nodded when he too was reading the paper. '' There is no council signature'' Narruto said. '' Konoha has adopted a new system where the council has been divided, civilian matters are handled only by the civilian council and military matters are handled only by the military council'' Hinata explained ''The signatures you see there are from the prominent clan heads in konoha, they make up the military council'' Hinata finished. Naruto not one to hide his emotions look shell shocked as Hinata answered the question without stuttering or fidgeting or blushing, He liked this new confident Hinata,his face split into a big grin, all the ninja's present were surprised when they saw his big grin '' That explains why baa-chan needed you for this mission'' Naruto said while looking at Hinata '' you are a geat speaker'' Hinata blushed under the praise ' Now that's the Hinata i know' Naruto thought in his mind. Naruto turned and gave Gaara a look that said 'Are we doing the right thing' and Gaara responded with a look that said 'I don't know'. Everybody noticed the silent communication going on between the two jinchiruuki's. ''I am going to have to meet with my advisors'' Naruto told them. '' The captains too'' Gaara reminded him ''Oh right''. '' We will come to a decision before your departure time, for now enjoy your stay in the village'' Gaara told them '' Naruto'' Kakashi said '' If you are not busy, we would like to catch up on old times'' Kakashi continued, Naruto smiled and relaxed back into his chair but before anything could be said, the door was rudely opened. ''Here is your mission report'' A man said as he dropped the scroll unceremoniously on the Uzukage's table, he looked much like Sesshomaru their escort, this man had the same long white hair as Sesshomaru, the same golden colored eye. He was wearing a red haori and he was bare footed, his face had no marks unlike Sesshomaru and his surprising feature was his dog ears. '' Tch. I knew i smelled something funny'' the man muttered rudely. '' Guys this is Inuyasha, Sesshomaru's brother.'' Naruto introduced the man '' You will have to excuse him, he is a dog with no manners'' Naruto muttered '' Seriously, how many times do i have to tell you to be nice to our guests'' Naruto continued giving him a lecture. The konoha ninjas were ignored by Inuyasha the same way Sesshomaru ignored them. '' I take it the mission was successful?'' Naruto asked Inuyasha as he finished his rant. '' Hell yeah it was, Now where is that dog of mine?'' Inuyasha muttered. '' I hope you are not talking about me'' a cold voice said. 'I did not even feel his aura or chakra' Kakashi thought as Sesshomaru joined them. '' What if i was?'' Inuyasha asked his brother while sneering at him '' I am guessing your mission too was sucessful?'' Naruto asked Sesshomaru '' You can hardly call that a mission'' Sesshomaru muttered. '' We are having a festival today'' Naruto said to the konoha ninja's '' You are welcome to join us'' Naruto continued.''If you will excuse me, I have a meeting right about now'' I will see you guys later'' Naruto said cheerfully as Sesshomaru and Inuyasha trailed behind him, Inuyasha shouting profanities at his brother all the way.
