It was a fine sunny day in Fire country and five figures could be seen walking along the main road to Konoha. These five figures were Naruto, Zabuza, Haku, Temari and Yugao. The five of them had left wave country the day after the battle on the bridge, Yugao felt given that Zabuza had eliminated the main threat they could leave Kakashi's team with the clean-up that and the fact that Temari had needed to be at Konoha about a week prior, Naruto had already sent word to the Hokage for his plans with Zabuza and Haku, actually having a summons ask after he gave Haku the letter. So now the five were headed to Konoha. The group walked at a leisurely pace for ninja, full sprint for civilians, towards Konoha they dabbled in light conversation but nothing lasted so they all settled for listening to the sounds of nature
"So Naruto what's Konoha like?" questioned Haku breaking the hour of silence
"I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask about that Haku" said Naruto
"Why?" asked Haku
"I've only seen the darker side of Konoha, the dark underbelly, of the sunny village that everyone thinks Konoha is" said Naruto sadly looking off into the distance. It was now that Zabuza decided to ask something
"So is the blondy a jinchuriki?" whispered Zabuza to Yugao
"Yes" said Naruto confusing Haku and Temari
"Zabuza you would have to be a lot further away for me not to hear you whispering" said Naruto not even turning to face the man
"Do you mind if I ask you which one?" questioned Zabuza
"S" said Naruto
"Beg pardon?" questioned Zabuza
"Not one, ones" said Naruto, Zabuza blinked
"You mean you contain more than one?" questioned Zabuza
"Three to be precise" said Naruto, as the gates of Konoha came into view. Once the gates came into clear view they could see that the Hokage was there with several ANBU agents
"I have already informed the Hokage about you two the ANBU are here to take you to interrogation Zabuza" said Naruto, Zabuza nodded handing his sword to Naruto
"You're taking care of my sword till I'm out Gaki" said Zabuza, Naruto nodded and sealed the sword away
"Hello Zabuza-san welcome to the leaf village now will you please go with the ANBU to Interrogation oh and your apprentice to" said Hiruzen as the group of five walked up to the gates
"Yes Hokage-Sama" said Zabuza bowing to the man then he and Haku followed the ANBU away
"Only you Naruto could change the heart of an enemy in their territory" said Hiruzen
"What can I say?" questioned Naruto shrugging
"Well I'll expect a report from you at some stage but for now I believe you have some people wanting to see you" said Hiruzen with a smile as he spotted Temari with the leaf Duo
"And it looks like the missing one had found you while out on your mission" said Hiruzen smiling down at the blond girl
"Any idea where I might find my friends?" asked Naruto
"Try training ground twenty seven I gave them exclusive rights to use it while in the village" said Hiruzen, Naruto nodded
"Come on Temari-chan" said Naruto grabbing Temari's hand before the duo leapt away
"So anything interesting happen on your mission Yugao?" questioned Hiruzen
"I would prefer to talk in your office Hokage-Sama" said Yugao
"Of course" said Hiruzen leading her away
#With Naruto and Temari#
The Duo were running along the rooftops headed towards training ground twenty seven
"NARU-KUN" called a voice from the duo's left, Naruto turned to face the voice
"Ten-Chan" called Naruto as Tenten came flying at him, he caught her in a hug and spun around the both of them laughing. Temari had a well hidden but still visible look of annoyance
"You're back" said Tenten
"Yeah just got back" said Naruto letting go of Tenten before standing next to her
"Ten-chan this is my friend Temari-chan, Temari-Chan this is my girlfriend Tenten-chan" said Naruto
"Nice to meet you Temari" said Tenten holding out her hand
"Same to you Tenten" said Temari both smiling at one another as they shook hands
"So what are you doing Naru-kun?" questioned Tenten
"I'm taking Temari to training ground twenty seven and looking for her two brothers" said Naruto
"Oh ok do either of you mind if I tag along, I have nothing to do now" said Tenten, Naruto looked at Temari who shrugged
"Let's go" said Naruto leaping off towards the training grounds
Within a few moments the trio reached the training grounds
"Go away the Hokage gave us exclusive rights to use this training ground" spoke a voice of a boy who was facing away while controlling a puppet
"What not even a hello first Kankuro just a fuck off, gee and here I thought we were friends" said Naruto in a jesting tone
"Naruto?" questioned the boy turning to look at him
"What you forgot what I looked like jeez your hopeless" muttered Naruto
"It's been a while Naruto" said another voice from off to the side
"Indeed it has Gaara" said Naruto turning to face the red haired boy who was smiling at him
"Jeez Naruto it is you, how's things?" questioned Kankuro
"Yeah not too bad you?" questioned Naruto as the trio of boys walked away leaving Tenten and Temari alone
"So Tenten" started Temari
"Yeah?" questioned Tenten looking at Temari already guessing what she was going to ask
"How long have you and Naruto been dating?" questioned Temari
"The day before he left for the mission to the wave" said Tenten smiling as she thought back to the day
"And how long did you know him before that?" asked Temari
"Well I knew him since he was born basically as we were in the same orphanage, but then he got kicked out at the age of four and I didn't see him again till he entered the academy as Sasuke Uchiha tried to fight Naruto only to have his ass handed to him on a silver platter" said Tenten
"Ah so that's why Mr short dark and brooding was glaring at Naruto" muttered Temari
"Did Naru-kun tell you that name or did you think it after you met him" giggled Tenten
"Naruto-kun told me but it just fit so perfectly" said Temari giggling, they both shared a laugh at the emo avenger of the Uchiha clan
"So what about you how did you meet Naru-kun?" questioned Tenten
"Well when he was five he came with the Hokage one a diplomatic mission to Suna and he played with me and my brothers while the Hokage and my father the Kazekage were in boring meetings" said Temari
The two stood in silence for a moment Tenten was the one to break it
"You love Naruto don't you?" questioned Tenten
"Yes I do" said Temari
"Tell him" said Tenten looking at the older blond girl
"But what about you and him?" questioned Temari
"Three letters C.R.A" said Tenten
"Really Naruto-kun's on the C.R.A?" questioned Temari
"Yeah he is before you ask he has to take at least six wives" said Tenten.
The two continued to talk for a while, that is until Yugao appeared in the training grounds in a swirl of leaves
"Yugao what is it?" questioned Temari
"Have you seen Naruto he's needed in the Hokage's office" said Yugao
"Last we saw he was-" said Temari interrupted when Naruto stood in front of them
"I'm here Yugao sensei" said Naruto
"Hokage's office now" said Yugao disappearing in a swirl of leaves. Naruto then hugged Temari, then walked over to Tenten and kissed her cheek
"See you two later" said Naruto vanishing in a swirl of sand
The teacher student duo appeared in the Hokage's office to see Haku and Zabuza there
"Ah Naruto there you are" said Hiruzen smiling at him
"Sup" said Naruto waving his hand
"Now Zabuza and Haku have been cleared" said Hiruzen, Naruto nodded and smiled
"Congrats you two" said Naruto smiling at the two former mist now leaf shinobi both were smiling/ grinning at the boy
"Now the next thing is that Haku has expressed an interest in joining you under Yugao thereby forming team eleven Yugao has already given her nod for the idea we just need your input" said Hiruzen, Naruto thought about it
"Yeah I would like having Haku on a team with me" said Naruto nodding swinging an arm over Haku's shoulder, Hiruzen nodded
"Alright then as of today Team eleven is now formed Yugao being Sensei teaching Genin Naruto Uzumaki and Genin Haku Momochi" said Hiruzen, Naruto smiled looking at Haku then to Zabuza who was looking away
"And tokubetsu jōnin Zabuza Momochi you are now the latest member of the torture and interrogation team" said Hiruzen with a smile, Zabuza's face changed to a sadistic one
"Kami save the poor soul to get stuck with Zabuza, Anko and Ibiki" said Naruto. Hiruzen, Yugao and the hidden ANBU all paled at that.
"Changing subjects, Hokage-Sama I would like to nominate team eleven for the chunin exams" said Yugao, Hiruzen nodded and handed the duo some forms
"Take those to room three hundred and one next Monday" said Hiruzen, both Haku and Naruto nodded
"Is that all?" asked Naruto Hiruzen nodded, Naruto walked out of the room
"Haku Zabuza come with me" said Naruto as he went, both ninja looked at Hiruzen who nodded. So Zabuza and Haku followed Naruto
"You two can stay in my clans compound" said Naruto walking towards the clan districts of Konoha
"Thanks kid very generous of you" said Zabuza
"Well you guys are family so why not" said Naruto, both nodded as the trio kept walking.
Once they got to the compound Naruto stopped the two
"Alright you two have to wait here for a moment, there's a set of seals that stop people breaking into the compound so basically only those with Uzumaki DNA can enter while the seals are up but if I let you two in then put the seals up you're placed on a list of accepted people" said Naruto getting a nod from both Zabuza and Haku. Naruto then walked into the compound and out of the Duo's sight then what looked like a barrier dissolved in front of the two. So the two walked inside and the barrier returned
"Alright good to go you two just test to make sure it worked so you don't get caught out late at night" said Naruto, both Haku and Zabuza walked out of the compound gates, then back in
"Ok problems solved" said Naruto
"Oh and if you guys are planning to bring a hot date home you have to tell me so I can make a temporary override seal" said Naruto, both nodded Haku slightly blushing at the thought
#The Next day#
Naruto was walking down the road looking for something to do as he had been given the week off to rest before the chunin exams there was only one problem. Naruto was bored as hell, heck he would even settle for catching the supposed daemon cat as Tenten called it, Naruto rounded a corner and came upon a curious sight three Iwa ninja, Naruto blinked once twice thrice, no they were there
"Those three are really there aren't they?" questioned Naruto internally
"Yes and that one in the armour and the hat has one of us in him" said Kurama
"Really witch one?" asked Naruto
"I think it's Gobi Kokuo" said Kurama
"Oi you there" said one of the Iwa ninja he was a man he was covered head to toe in red coloured armour, he had orange eyes and was quite tall, he looked a little old to be a genin but if he was like Naruto he wouldn't put it past a village to keep him so unskilled that he was still a genin
"Yes?" questioned Naruto
"Never mind" said the man narrowing his eyes at Naruto, the only girl of the group walked forwards with a studying gaze on her face as she looked at Naruto curiously
"Something you wish to know?" asked Naruto
"Your name?" questioned the girl
"You know it's polite to give your own name prior to asking for another's" said Naruto
"Me I'm Kurotsuchi" said the girl, the girl had pink pupil less eyes black hair and wore a red uniform with the right sleeve missing and a lapel over her right leg, with a brown jacket over the top, fishnet tights and a skirt over them. She also wears regular shinobi sandals and a pair of gloves.
"I'm Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki" said Naruto
