Two and a half years later:
"There it is Tin-tin! Just over that hill and we'll be home!" Masako said excitedly.
"Yeah. I wonder how much it's changed." Tinnara answered. "Probley not much." Masako said and the two girls laughed. The two had left the village two and a half years ago and traveled to every village to train. They made it to the top of the hill and before them, spread as far as the eye could see, was the beautiful village of Konaha.
"Hey look! They added Mama Tsunade to the mountain!" Masako said pointing to the mountain which held carved pictures of their beloved Hokage's faces. They saw Naruto below talking to Sakura and the two girls knew very well that you could see them from down there.
"Hey!!! Up here!" They screamed together and everyone turned to look.
"Masako Uzamaki and Tinnara Eguchi have returned!" Were the screams that they heard then.
"That's more like it." Tinnara said and Masako nodded in agreement.
"Sister!" Naruto screamed as he raced up the hill. When he got to her he tackled Masako to the ground and they rolled down.
"Hi bro." Was all Masako said as she stood up at the bottom.
"Wow. Look at all your guy's headbands. From every village?" He asked Tinnara and Masako.
"Yeah, every single one, even snow." Masako answered as she pointed to a headband on her leg. Sure enough it had the snow symbol on it. All her new headbands were spread across her legs. Her old ones were still in their old places, leaf on head, and sound around waist, mist and sand on arms. Tinnara had almost the same arrangement accept she had her sand one around her waist and her waterfall, mist, rain and sound ones around her arms, two on each.
"I'm gonna go see everyone else! Catch you later bro!" Masako said as she ran off.
"Hey, you're back." She heard a voice say. She turned and before her stood Kiba.
"Yep. Hey you've changed a bit, no parka." She laughed.
"Yeah, how are you and Gaara?" He asked.
"When Tinnara and I went to the sand for her Gaara and I decided that it would be better to be friends because we're always far apart." She answered.
"Where's that little cutie Akamaru?" She asked.
"Uh, well…" Kiba started.
"What? Did he die! I'm so sorry Kiba!" Masako said giving him a hug.
"No he's not dead; he's just not so little anymore." He said and whistled. Akamaru came running and he wasn't small. Kiba jumped on his back.
"I ride him now." He said smiling.
"Sheesh, he isn't so little." Masako said as she pet his nose. Kiba pulled her up next to him on Akamaru's back.
"So about the Gaara deal, you're sure you two are done." He asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Masako answered.
"So he won't mind if I do this." He said and kissed her. This time Masako got to really enjoy it for how great it was. Gaara and she had talked it over and they were just apart so much that it made no sense. Then and there Masako had promised herself that she wouldn't fall in love again because she was a ninja and the last thing she needed was for love to intrude, but she never said she still wouldn't go on dates and kiss guys. They split apart and he smiled at her and she beamed back.
"I think that was better then last time." He said.
"Definitely." She agreed.
"You're even more beautiful then before Masako. You're hair is longer too." He said and she smiled. Her hair was a little longer but not much.
"I got to go Kiba. I'm gonna see if anyone else is around." She said as she jumped down from Akamaru and ran off.
'I'm glad I never said no dating anymore I mean Tinnara and I have to face it, we're the most beautiful girls in the village.' Masako thought. It was true they were probley the most beautiful girls in most villages. Everywhere they went a guy was either hitting on Tinnara or Masako or both. Eventually Tinnara got sick of it and punched out one dude in the waterfall village. Masako was fine with it, it was kinda annoying, but she never minded being admired by the boys in her village. They were all sweet and caring, plus she knew them really well.
"I'm taller then you now! No more munchkin for me!" Naruto said running up to her.
"Think again." Masako said when he reached her; Naruto was still about an inch shorter then her.
"Try again next year munchkin." She laughed.
"I don't get it! Aren't guys suppose to be taller then girls?" He asked.
"Yeah, but there's still no proof that you're a guy bro." She answered.
"I've got all the proof I need in my pants sis! So shut up!" Naruto screamed and Masako just laughed.
"You haven't changed a bit." She said patting his head.
"Hello." Said a voice. Masako recognized it almost immediately and spun around.
"Hey!" She said as she ran over to him and gave him a hug.
"Who's that?" Naruto asked.
"Oh come on Naruto. Bug boy." Masako said trying to assist her brother.
"Geez, you're hopeless." She said as she rolled her eyes.
"This would be Shino." She said.
"Oh! I remember from the Chunin exams." Naruto said. Masako shook her head.
"Took you long enough." Shino said and Masako smiled at him. "You look more beautiful then before. Is that even possible?" He directed towards Masako. She just smiled.
"I don't know. You tell me." She said and he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"I think so." He said and she gave him a hug.
"I got to go. Sorry Shino. We can…" Masako began but was cut off.
"We will catch up tonight over dinner." Shino said. She smiled and nodded.
"I'll come to your house at seven." He said as she and Naruto took off.
"Won't that be your second date with that guy?" Naruto asked her as they approached their house.
"My second date with him in two and a half years, yeah." She said as they walked inside. Masako put her bag on her bed and began to unpack her things.
"What was it like in the snow village?" Naruto asked.
"Uh, snowy." Masako said as she put away a shirt in one of her drawers.
"What was it like in the grass village?" He asked.
"Um, grassy." She answered hanging up her Chunin vest.
"What was it like in the waterfall village?" He asked.
"Waterfall-ish… Sheesh! I don't know Naruto!" Masako screamed.
"Hey… you're a Chunin?" He asked.
"Uh, no joinin. Why?" Masako asked.
"I'm still a genin." Naruto muttered.
"Really? Wow, how come you didn't just redo the Chunin exams in the last two and a half years?" She asked.
"Purvey Sage wouldn't let me." He said bitterly. "Shikamaru says that I'm the only one who's not a Chunin or a joinin." Naruto complained.
"So what? It's not that hard just take the Chunin exams if it really bothers you that much." Masako answered him simply.
"Nah, I'll just live with it. I don't think I want to have the stress of the Akatsuki and the Chunin exams on my shoulders." He said.
"It wouldn't be that hard. All you have to do is just not leave like last time." She answered him. He shrugged.
"There could be some powerful new genin there." He said. She nodded.
"Yeah but if you've been training like you say that shouldn't be a problem." Masako pointed out.
"Whatever." Naruto said as he chucked a pillow at her. She quickly grabbed her clarinet.
"Don't make me control your mind. I'll make you gay." She warned.
"You'll make me what?" Naruto questioned.
"Well, I made a new song and whatever the victim is told while they are under my spell they believe to be true when they are released. So I'll tell you you're gay, do you really want that?" She asked.
"No." Naruto said as he stared at his sister.
'I don't think she's kidding. That will come in handy.' He thought. Then they heard a knock on the door.
"That must be Shino. He's early." Masako said as she walked over to the door. She opened it up and before her stood.
"A mini Might Guy. Exactly what the world needs." She said rolling her eyes.
"I am not Master Guy, but I am honored to be compared to him." Lee said.
"Yeah… right… What do you want Lee?" Masako asked annoyed.
"I wanted to welcome you back and ask you out on a date." Lee said.
"Uh, yeah. No." Masako said and she shut the door in his face. "That was creepy." She said to Naruto as she walked back inside. About an hour later another knock came.
"I bet that's Shino." Masako said as she got up and opened the door.
"Hey." She said as she looked at Shino.
"Uh…Lee. I shut the door on your face like over an hour ago." She said.
"I am aware." He answered. "Have you reconsidered?" He asked.
"No, I've got a date with Shino." She said and took Shino's hand and the two left.
"Am I really that bad looking that she would rather date Bug boy then me, Naruto?" Lee asked.
"Yes." Naruto answered as he shut the door. Lee just stood there looking like an idiot.
"It's okay Lee, she'll come around to your good looks. It may take her time to realize how handsome you are." Might Guy said from behind him. Lee smiled. Shino took Masako to the most wonderful place ever.
"Shino, you're amazing. I can't tell you how happy I am to be here." Masako told him.
