It's been a week since Naruto returned to Wave country, he's spent some time with Inari and his mum Tsunami, he's also been causing problems for Gatō, one of Gatō's establishments in the town that was once a general store was turned into a whore house.
The thugs ran the place kidnapping any women they saw and either killing or beating up there boyfriend or husbands and making the village even more miserable it also made them lose any hope they had in there hearts.
Naruto couldn't let this continue so he sneaked into the establishment and dealt with all the thugs if they were normal people he'd feel sad but because of what they did he showed them no mercy.
After he dealt with them all he freed all the women there. Gatō found out about it but had no idea who did it, every thug he sent out never returned only there heads were found, this infuriated Gatō but again he couldn't find out the person responsible.
When Gatō sent thugs to find out what happened from the villagers they just hid and again Naruto dealt with them, After some more time Gatō stopped sending thugs to investigate as like the others none ever returned only more heads.
It was around this time that he found out about Tazuna's return. Gatō knew that he couldn't allow Tazuna to finish this bridge so hired missing-nin to deal with him, Usually it wouldn't be a problem but this time Tazuna has hired bodyguards and not any bodyguards but ninjas.
He found this out the hard way as Zabuza one of the missing-nin he has under his employ sent the demon brothers Meizo and Gōzu to deal with him. It ended badly and they demon brothers failed.
Gatō was furious at this failure and demanded that Zabuza himself deal with them personally. Zabuza arrogantly said it would be easy but he would realise how wrong he was.
When he arrived he was shocked to come across Kakashi Hatake also known as the copycat ninja or Sharingan Kakashi. This would be harder then he expected he now knew why the demon brothers failed but they were Chūnin he's a whole different league to them.
After a long battle against one of his toughest opponents he was finally beaten he actually managed to capture Kakashi, unfortunately he underestimated Kakashi's brats well two of them, the two were able to rescue Kakashi who then overpowered him.
Zabuza was beaten he knew it, he knew Kakashi was going to kill him luckily his tool Haku had other idea's and saved him as he posed as a Hunter-nin, Haku threw two Senbon into Zabuza's neck making it seem to everyone that Zabuza was dead. They never even suspected luckily for Haku and Zabuza.
After Zabuza and Haku left Tazuna and his bodyguards also known as Team 7 continued to Tazuna's house. Team 7 met Tazuna's family his daughter Tsunami and her son Inari, As soon as Inari heard they were from Konoha he took an immediate dislike to them as Naruto-Nii-san or to everyone else Menma-Nii-san told him about Konoha.
A day after they arrived at Tazuna's house and Kakashi had woken up and he and his students Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Mazaguchi Tozawa are sitting down eating breakfast when Inari enters the house he was out meeting Naruto like he usually does.
Once he entered the house he scowled at Kakashi and his team. Tsunami enters the main room and sees Inari "Oh your back, where were you this time."
He looks at his mum "I was hanging out with Menma-Nii-san like usual."
She rolls her eyes "Oh silly me of course you were."
Inari nods then points at Kakashi "Why are they here, we don't need them, Menma can deal with Gatō."
Kakashi who's interested in this Menma character as Inari's mentioned him a few times since they arrived, he wonders who he is, now he and his team has to guard his family as well is curious, "Tsunami, may I ask who is this Menma, Inari's talking about."
Inari glares at Kakashi not wanting them to bother his Nii-san he then looks back at his mum "Don't tell him anything mum."
She not knowing about Naruto/Menma's hate for Konoha thinks her son's just being silly pats him on the shoulder "Don't be silly Inari."
Inari looks at his mum in shock then quickly runs out of the house Tsunami calls for him but he ignores her and she's confused she's wondering why Inari's acting like this he's been like this since they arrived she just shrugs and turns to Kakashi "Menma Ukita's a nice young man, our families known him for years."
"He was five when we first met him, he stayed here for two years until his aunt was killed them he left she died a few days after his seventh birthday, he took her death hard which you can imagine being seven, we had no idea where he went but he returned about a week ago. He and Inari are close as he calls Menma, his Nii-san."
Kakashi, Sakura and Mazaguchi are paying attention, Sasuke doesn't care this Menma's probably a loser. Kakashi's interested in this Menma and wants to know more about him the fact he arrived when he was five was strange.
Then just leaving at seven is weird something in the back of his mind is telling him this Menma may he a ninja or trained a normal kid wouldn't just leave at that age. "Tsunami, what does this Menma look like."
She rubs her chin wondering how to describe Menma then smiles "Well he has blond spiky hair but a ponytail going down his back, He was trained by his aunt I think she was a ninja, he has the most beautiful blue eyes and has the cutest marks on his cheeks at first I thought they were scars but they also look like whiskers."
Again Sasuke doesn't care and continues eating, Mazaguchi is interested but not that much, Sakura seems interested it would be nice to meet someone else and someone who seems to be Inari's only friend.
Then there's Kakashi, Tsunami's answered one question he's a ninja and is now wondering what he did for the last five years before he returned last week, the description she gave of this Menma is to much of a coincidence, now he puts everything he's heard together he arrived here at aged five exactly the age when Naruto left, he has to meet him to know that he's alive if it is Naruto after all.
After Tsunami explained Menma she's been looking at Kakashi and he seems to be in a daze "Are you OK Kakashi, you seemed to have zoned out there."
He looks up "Where can I find this Menma Ukita."
Tsunami and Sakura look at Kakashi wondering why he's so interested Tsunami remembered Tabuki's death and the people who came after Menma and her 'Could he be looking for Menma, was this why Inari didn't want me to say anything.'
Kakashi sees her look and seems to be getting worried and he doesn't know why "Tsunami, I don't want to hurt this Menma, I just want to meet him, I think I know him and if it's who I think it is then Menma isn't his real name."
Sakura and Tsunami seems interested again Sasuke was slightly curious but didn't care that much, Mazaguchi is curious but isn't that interested, he's not fully recovered from the last battle so isn't going to over exert himself by going anywhere.
Tsunami seems to be convinced "He lives in the forest, he has a log cabin."
Kakashi nods and starts to leave Sasuke and Mazaguchi remain eating but Sakura for some unknown reason decides to go with Kakashi and he doesn't seem to mind.
She's still not sure why she followed Kakashi but Kakashi seems interested in this Menma and it might be nice to meet someone maybe her age.
It's not as if Sasuke ever talks to her and Mazaguchi has never been that type of guy either he's more talkative then Sasuke but sometimes when he starts talking he never shuts up.
Meanwhile, while this was going on Inari's run through the forest he has to warn Naruto about this Kakashi guy he seems far too interested in Naruto.
When he arrives at the log cabin he sees Naruto cutting wood outside he pants when he arrives as it's hard running all the way with his short legs. "Naruto-nii-san we've got a problem."
Naruto stops cutting the wood and wipes his forehead it's hot out and that's why he's topless he looks at Inari and noticed that Inari's been running and is out of breath "What's up Inari, did your forget something you only left a short while ago? Is something wrong? is your mum and grandpa in trouble?"
Inari finally stands up and points back the way he's come "Everyone's fine, the problem is the team that came to help Grandpa there from Konoha, I wasn't going to tell you as I know you don't like them, but there leader some old guy with grey hair was asking about you."
He sighs hoping his mother didn't tell him anything but thinks she will "I tried to tell mum to tell him nothing but she was going to answer him he seemed interested in you."
Naruto just groans he'd heard that Tazuna had returned with some Ninja team now he knows it's a team from Konoha this could be a problem.
Kakashi and Sakura have followed Inari's scent through Pakkun, they come out into a clearing and immediately see Inari along with some kid about Sakura's age must be Menma.
When Kakashi sees him he immediately sees Minato but then realises it's Naruto it's really him he seems to be quite built and just by sensing him knows he's powerful maybe even more powerful then Sasuke.
This is definitely Naruto the whiskers gave it away not to mention the eyes so much like his father inwardly he's happy, for years he's wondered where Naruto was and is glad he's alive.
Now with Sakura, the moment she saw Menma she almost had a nosebleed, he's her age she thinks and but that isn't what's making her blush and almost have a nosebleed no that's because he's topless and the sweat coming down his muscled chest.
It's making it hard for her to think straight he's hot, he's got a great body not that she's seen anyone topless body before, but he's very handsome if she does say so herself.
Just staring at his chiselled chest and the six pack is making it hard for her to concentrate, her blush is easily giving it away. Her Inner-Self has already passed out from a nosebleed after screaming how hot he was.
Sakura gulps as a trickle of blood drops from her nose she's embarrassed especially if this Menma thinks she's a pervert she does inwardly smirk though she and her Inner-Self that has just woken up both admit one thing 'He's so hot, suck on that Ino-Pig.'
In Konoha, Ino's bored there's no missions today and she's working in her families flower shop and she's bored out of her skull, since Sasuke left she's so bored she really hates that Sakura's on the same team as Sasuke. She's almost asleep when she suddenly lifts her head "Someone's talking about me, I hope it's Sasuke-kun."
Meanwhile, back with Naruto/Menma, Inari, Sakura, and Kakashi Nobodies said anything but Naruto's studying the two new arrivals there's something about the older man's arrival something's familiar about him but he doesn't know why.
He looks at the girl who's still blushing she's been doing that for the last few minutes not to mention she has a nosebleed, this is nothing new to him when he was in The Land Of Iron girls looked at him like that some adults women also It was kind of unnerving when the adults did it though.
It's happened a lot since he's returned here also and now there is this girl he admits she's pretty, if he's honest the prettiest girl he's ever seen but maybe that's because of her hair colour it's pretty unique or exotic.
He then remembers that he's topless and it's not helping the situation but it's to hot to care right now he then thinks about Konoha and he sighs he's not happy it's Konoha that's arrived and this team seems to be interested in him he hoped that he could remain unnoticed but that isn't going to happen now.
Kakashi still watches Naruto still nobodies said anything but Kakashi can tell by Naruto's looks that he's not happy to see them not that he knows why unless he's still angry about what happened before he ran away.
He then looks at Inari and sees him glaring at him also and understands now why he's been glaring at him and his team ever since they arrived yesterday.
Naruto has finally had enough of the silence "What do you want Konoha-nin."
Kakashi sighs before replying "It's nice to see you alive after so long, Naruto."
Sakura looks at Kakashi then Naruto and is confused 'Tsunami called him Menma Ukita, so why is Kakashi-sensei, calling him Naruto.' "Kakashi-sensei, I thought his name was Menma Ukita."
Kakashi doesn't reply to her question but replies to Naruto "We've been looking for you for years."
Naruto growls and scoffs at this Ninja who seems to know him he knows they've been looking for him for two years and he's killed enough of them in the two years they came here he was glad they never came to The Land Of Iron. Just thinking about Konoha makes him remember Tabuki-chan and that they killed her.
He clenches his fist in anger before replying "I know you have been looking for me sending your ANBU after me for two years, demanding I return with them sometimes kidnapping the villages to blackmail them, so I killed them but they kept coming they killed Tabuki-chan, had these seals on there tongues some sort of restriction seal or something."
Kakashi and Sakura are both shocked that he's killed people for Sakura it's a sad signs he's definitely her age and yet he's already killed people although she knows that as a Kunoichi she will have to kill also.
Kakashi is shocked he sees knives on his trousers a strange weapon but that isn't what's shocked him ANBU doing such despicable things but the moment he said they had strange seals on there tongues was surprising as ANBU don't have seals on there tongue.
Naruto's getting annoyed that they haven't said anything "What do you want now?"
Kakashi doesn't know what to say he will inform the Hokage about this maybe he'll know what he's talking about he then tries to calm down the situation he doesn't want a fight "I'm not here to hurt you Naruto, My name is Kakashi..."
Before he can continue Naruto speaks. "Kakashi Hatake, also known as the copycat ninja the man of a thousand Jutsu's and Sharingan Kakashi, I've heard about you, Now I remember you, if I remember you were once Inu, but as your not wearing a mask any more means your not in ANBU."
He sees the shock from Sakura 'This Naruto knows more about Kakashi-sensei then I do how would he know he was an ANBU not even I knew that and he's my Sensei.'
Naruto watches her before turning back to Kakashi "So you now have a team and your guarding Tazuna while he builds his bridge and your guarding him from Gatō and Zabuza and Haku, I'm guessing this is one of your students."
Kakashi is shocked that Naruto seems to know so much about him and the situation, He's changed so much that's certain he wonders how strong he is but it seems he doesn't trust Konoha so getting anything out of him might be a problem.
Sakura waves at him "Hello Naruto, My name is Sakura, Haruno Sakura, nice to meet you."
Naruto looks at Sakura and smiles "Hello Sakura, pretty name Cherry Blossom, I like your hair you don't see many pink haired people around."
Again she blushes at his compliment he seems like a nice person not to mention he's attractive which is a plus, personally she hates her pink hair as people make fun of her for it.
Inari looks at Naruto and then Sakura then back to Naruto and tugs his leg "What are you doing Nii-San, you can't be friends with her."
The three of them look at Inari confused before Naruto smiles "Why is that Inari, I'm only saying she's pretty."
Sakura blushes again she's acting like Hinata from the academy she's like that with everyone but this is a first for her someone is actively complimenting her several times and she likes the feeling.
Inari again is confused "But you can't be friends with her."
Naruto raises an eyebrow "And why is that."
Inari looks at Naruto like he's an idiot "Because she's a girl."
Everyone looks at Inari before Naruto pats him on the head "Really Inari, I didn't know that." Sakura giggles at that and Kakashi just chuckles he's glad the situation seems to have calmed down.
Inari is really confused thinking his Nii-San must have hit his head or something "You didn't know she was a girl Nii-san."
Naruto rolls his eyes at Inari but what can you expect he's a kid. "I was being sarcastic Inari, So tell me why can't boys be friends with girls."
Inari scratches his head a thing he's learned from Naruto "Boy's can only be friends with Boys and Girls with Girls didn't you know that."
Naruto chuckles at Inari and shakes his head 'Inari, you are weird.' "Answer this then Inari, If Boys and Girls can't be friends how was you born."
Inari shrugs "I don't know."
Naruto sighs "Well your mum and Dad became friends Inari, it's usually how kids are born although there are other things involved."
Inari is curious "OK and then what happened."
Naruto's eyes widen 'Does he expect me to tell him about sex, that's not really my job, not that I really know about that stuff myself.'
He then looks at Sakura who blushes as her mum has already had this discussion with her even though she didn't want to hear it. He then scratches his head before thinking he's been told this by Tabuki-chan. "Well, let's say your mum and dad spent a lot of time together and got intermate and you was born."
Inari still being confused is trying to take this all in. "Then what happened and what does intermate mean."
Naruto groans not really wanting to have this conversation even looks at Sakura and Kakashi the latter seems to be finding this who situation amusing not that anyone can tell because of his mask.
Sakura is shocked about all this and her Inner-Self isn't helping matters because she keeps suggesting her and Naruto get intermate and the fact he's still topless is making everything worse.
Naruto sighs "Well I'll tell you what Intermate means, well NEVER, but after they were intermate you was born."
Inari nods "OK but how?"
Naruto just face palms himself "Well then you appeared in a Giant Dragon Egg."
Sakura giggles as does Kakashi neither expecting this or this whole situation. Inari looks amazed then he looks at Naruto and then Sakura "I was born in a Dragon's egg really, wait so does that mean you and her will become friends and create a baby in a dragon's egg."
Neither Naruto or Sakura expected that and were shocked, Kakashi meanwhile thought this whole situation is totally Hilarious, seeing these two blushing.
Again Sakura's Inner-Self is already picturing this scenario picturing it seems her inner-self has already seemed to have given up on Sasuke-Kun, and is telling her to have a baby with the sexy hunk in front of her.
Naruto looks at Inari and would rather not have this conversation ever again "Maybe you should head home Inari, your mom's probably worried about you, you haven't had breakfast yet have you, off you go."
Inari nods "Yea, that's true OK, I'll see you later Nii-san."
After Inari leaves Sakura and Kakashi follows him, it will take time to get Naruto to trust them even if that amusing discussion just happened.
It's been two days since Kakashi and Sakura met Naruto, Kakashi did try and speak to him but he was always gone so he had no choice but to train his team for the inevitable confrontation with Zabuza and that Masked Ninja. They were all shocked to find out that Zabuza was still alive and that the Missing-nin was in fact working for Zabuza all along.
Sakura being the smartest of the three then suddenly realised it was true and told Sasuke and Mazaguchi about the role of the Hunter-nin's, Kakashi was impressed that she figured it out.
He took his team into the Forrest he stopped and started informing them about Chakra Control he asked if any of them knew what that was and again Sakura guessed correctly. He then goes onto explaining Tree Climbing of course they all just start laughing.
Sasuke then scoffs and says that he knows how to climb trees and his weak teammates also. Mazaguchi just ignores Sasuke it's really annoying that he had to be on the same team as Sasuke Uchiha, he really can't stand him.
Sakura just ignores Sasuke although she's starting to hate the way he treats her and Mazaguchi it's like he takes satisfaction in there misery. Kakashi just sighs then explains the process, Suffice to say there all shocked.
Meanwhile, Naruto's walking through the forest, he knows that Kakashi's being visiting him but he makes sure to be gone before he arrives. As he's walking her sees someone in the trees he immediately realises who it is, it's Haku.
He met Haku a day ago in the forest gathering herbs, Naruto studied her, he knows everyone in this village plus he can sense Chakra in her and a lot of it.
He followed her after she left and saw her meet up with Zabuza this explains how he survived as Tazuna told him what happened.
Now he sees her again he then senses four other people and it's Kakashi and his team, it seems Haku is spying on them. He's about to leave but decides to see how strong Kakashi's team is.
He leans against the tree and watches as Sakura, Sasuke and Mazaguchi start the exercise one he knows all to well from Tabuki-chan's teachings. He wonders what this team is made of he's heard of the Uchiha Clan so wonders if he's anything special.
Finally they all start the exercise well after Kakashi passes them all Kunai he guesses to mark there progress he watches as Sakura gets it pretty much straight away and gets quite high on her first attempt.
Then he watches as Sasuke and Mazaguchi tries to copy her and they fail. He saw the look Sasuke gave Sakura and it wasn't good he was pissed that was quite obvious for all to see.
Sakura's sat on a branch and watches her teammates they didn't get it like she did when she was about to tell Sasuke about her accomplishment but just be looking at him made her stay quiet.
She continue watching her teammates until she spots someone watching it seems that Naruto seems to have sensed her so he looks up at her and she smiles and waves at him "Hey Naruto."
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Mazaguchi and Haku who hasn't even sensed him finally notice Naruto. Haku just continues watching but she is interested to know how she never sensed him.
Kakashi unknowingly is thinking on the same lines as Haku he's shocked that he never even noticed him he's really interested to know his skills.
Mazaguchi hasn't seen Naruto before and wonders how long he's been there. Sasuke looks at Naruto and scowls although he's wondering how strong he is maybe he should challenge him he seems weak so will probably realise who he's dealing with nobody beats him he's an Uchiha the elite the best of the best.
Naruto ignores the stares from everyone it's obvious Sasuke wants to fight him but he ignores him and focuses on Sakura "Nice work Sakura, It seems you have pretty good chakra control."
Sasuke saw Naruto look at him then just ignore him and that pissed him off he'd show him that he's not to be ignored he steps away from the tree and approaches Naruto.
Naruto looks away from Sakura and looks at Sasuke and rolls his eyes his emotions are so easy to understand no doubt it's his Uchiha arrogance he thinks he can get what he wants he can only surmise that Sasuke's about to challenge him. He's proven right when Sasuke challenges him to a spar well more like demanded.
Naruto had already turned away from him. Sakura was happy that someone's said something nice about what she did she already gathered that Sasuke wouldn't say anything and Mazaguchi is to focused on the task at hand not hearing anything from Kakashi hurt though.
She quickly makes her way down from the tree she was in and wonders if Naruto will fight Sasuke she is curious to know how strong Naruto is though.
Naruto just scoffs at Sasuke's challenge "Tell me this Uchiha, why should I bother wasting my time with you, what do I get out of this, I have nothing to prove to anyone least of all you."
It's Sasuke's turn to scoff then he smirks "So that's it is it, your scared, I'm not surprised, you finally realised that your against an Uchiha, I'm not surprised your scared I'm an elite you'd only be embarrassing yourself."
Naruto just rolls his eyes 'Uchiha arrogance why am I not surprised.' "Scared of a wuss like you, please, you think because your an Uchiha that your automatically the best there is what arrogance, I've met many idiots like you and killed several of them, as I said before I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else."
"I'd be the one embarrassing you, I wonder could your arrogance handle that, but as you challenged me an ass kicking from me is something you deserve an ass kicking to show you that your nothing special."
Sasuke clenches his fist and grinds his teeth not only has this nobody insulted not only him but his clan oh he's going to show him who's best.
He gets into his Uchiha Taijutsu stance and grins "Oh it will be you who gets his ass kicked you like everyone else will know that the Uchiha are the best, I will show you this myself."
Naruto looks at Sakura then Kakashi and then Mazaguchi it seems Sakura was worried, Mazaguchi, and Kakashi seemed interested in this he shrugs and pulls away from the tree he was leaning against and approaches Sasuke and just walks past him getting into his own Taijutsu stance.
Kakashi walks up to them "OK you two this is a Taijutsu only match Hajime."
