2 years later.

It was a hot day in Konoha, eveeryone was going about their business as usual. The marketing and shops were all open and people were happily living out their lives. A chunnin wearing all pink had come down to the market to check on progress.

"Ok, everything seems to be in order here," the pnk kunoichi said as she walked down the road. The chunin exams were held last year for the genin again, she and the rest of the 9 rookies made chunin, with the exception of the male hyuuga who made jounin. Walking down remembering the past, Sakura had bumped into two of her friends who were on a casual walk.

"Hey Hinata, Hey Neji," she shouted at them. It was a rarity to see the two hyuuga together. Neji had been much kinder to Hinata after his realization after the Chunin Exam with Naruto.

"Oh Hello Sakura, how do you do?" said the two hyuugas. As she ran up towards them, they all were thinking about the different missions that they would be going on in a few weeks. They all had been requesting to be put on missions for so long that Tsunade's patience was wearing thin. As the three were chatting, they soon saw the rest of their teammates.

"Wow everyone is here, why is everyone here at this time?" Sakura asked in confusion. Everyone was shocked to know that Sakura had forgotten what day it was. Everyone looked at her with a disappointed face.

"Wow Sakura that is cold," said Lee.

"I can't believe you don't know what today is," kiba said with a bark from his no longer small dog, Akamaru.

"Are even capable of compassion?" Shino stated much to her dismay.

"This is why womens minds are so troublesome," the lazy genius stated.

"Even I remember what today is," the rival of the pink kunoichi stated. Having a growing rage at the barrage of insults that kept coming at her, Sakura was nearing the end of her rope. She really didn't know what was so special about today. It seemed just like any other day. She had noticed that everyone had walked past her in disappointment. Running after them, she stopped them with an angry smile that everyone knew meant trouble.

"WILL YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT TODAY IS?" she shouted causing everyone to jump back in fright. Everyone was too scared to answer her. They knew she was a student of the 5th and as such she had a very powerful left hook, though she wasn't leaf handed. Snapping out of the fright that startled them Shikamaru stepped forward to answer as everyone except Neji and Shino hid behind Shikamaru.

"Man how troublesome, you really don't know what today is?" he asked still shcoked she didn't. Almost losing all her patience, she mustered up a pretty but deadly smile.

"No Shika, I don't know now TELL ME!," she asked with a hint of demon in her voice. Shikamaru was still scared by her, but persevered as everyone took a giant step back, leaving him all alone.

"*sigh*, that is a shame Sakura, we are going to the front gate to meet Naruto and Tenten," he said. Sakura was at a loss for words. She couldn't believe she forgot the day they where coming back. Feeling depressed she curled up into a corner and poked at some weeds.

"What is wrong with me, how could I forget that?, of all things how could that be forgotten?" she said with too much depression in her voice. Everyone came back to where Shikamaru was standing. he gave them all a questionable grin.

"Thank you for having my back guys," he said with a groan. Feeling embarrassed over what happended they apologized, only want to live long enough to see Naruto and Tenten. Sakura still in her corner was consoled by Hinata into getting up to go see them. They all got up and left. As they all walked they noticed a number of the citizens of Konoha were coming too. Everyone had missed their blond troublemaker and brunette weapons expert.

after 14 minutes at the front gate everyone saw three figures come into view. As the figures came into view everyone began to get excited at the people who were coming. First was the toad-sage who was happy to be back in his village he came up to the front gate. He had gathered everyones attention.

"People, here come the two of the hour Naruto and Tenten," he shouted so everyone could hear. As the couple came into view everyone was shocked by what the saw. Their eyes were wide and their mouths dropped to the ground. They saw a more muscular Naruto in an orange and black jumpsuit carrying his lover bridal style to get a reaction from the crowd. Everyone was jumping for joy that the two could make an entrance like that. As Naruto set her down she performed the next thing they practiced for their entrance. Tenten made a few handsigns and grabbed her lover. They were a good 32 feet from the crowd. Suddenly the sky darkened and thunder clouds appeared. The lighting had dropped down on the two lovers as they went into the sky and shot down right in front of the crowd. Everyone was shocked by the site. They had come up to the crowd with wide smiles.

"EVERYONE WE ARE BACK!," they shouted as the crowd cheered. Everyone had missed the couple that used to roam the streets. Naruto was now taller than Tenten, but Tenten got pretty tall too. As the most of the crowd dispersed mostly because they only stopped to greet the returnees and had major work that needed to be done. Only the rookie 9 and a few jounin remained.

"Well that was quite the entrance you two," Kakashi spoke looking at his Icha-Icha book.

"You guys are so troublesome," said the lazy genius though being impressed with the entrance.

"AWESOME ENTRANCE YOU GUYS!," said Chouji, Lee, and Kiba, all excited. Everyone was talking with many questions about the two. Most came from Ino who had a rather interesting question to ask, again.

"So how far have you gone since you were away," she asked causing everyone to get thrown back.

"You have seen them for two years and you had to ask that?" Shikamaru said groaning at the question. Kurenai looked at Ino.

"Now Ino that is a private-,"

"We went all the way and I loved it," Tenten said interrupting the genjutsu jounin as everyone hit the ground.

"W-w-w-w-what did you say?," asked a blushing Hinata who then fainted from the images that had entered her mind.

"You can't be serious, Oh my goodness, wow, I didn't need to know that, that is youth for you," shouted the various comments that had come for the intensely blushed rookie genin ninja. Tenten continued to shocked them.

"That's right he was great," she said sending more chills up their spines.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!, NO MORE IMAGES!," they all protested. Knowing she shocked them enough she did one last thing to them.

"And Naruto-kun is mine, so everyone is to back off him," she said wrapping her hands around him and giving him a kiss on the cheek. Everyone totally lost in a got a variety of nosebleeds. Even Neji couldn't keep his composure. Deciding the torment was enough, they both smirked and stopped to start a regular conversation.

"So how is everyone," Naruto asked. Everyone got up to answer wiping their noses of the blood that came out.

"We are all good here man, although Sakura was the one who for got you guys were returning," Kiba announced. Feeling depressed Sakura drew back into a corner nudging at some weeds.

"I'm sorry," she said in a depressed tone. Seeing that the conversation would have to continue at a later time, Tsunade made her announcement.

"Ok eveyone, these two need to come with us," she said. Everyone was a little depressed they had to go, but everyone would continue their talk later. Naruto and Tenten went with Tsunade back to the Hokage Mansion.

"So did you guys get any stronger," she asked with a grin. Feeling insulted they replied in unison.

"Of course we got stronger, we weren't playing around," they said. Feeling she set off a land mine, she tried to continue.

"I would like to test out this power of yours, show me how much you have improved," she said. Both feeling excited to have a match again they quickly agreed.

"So who is the opponent," Tenten asked.

"That would be me," said the copy ninja.

"Wow now that will be fun to do," Naruto said with enthusiasm. Kakashi stopped him before he got too hyper.

"We will do this in the evening, I want you to be prepared," he said as he ran off. Dismissing themselves the couple left with Tenten in Naruto's arms. This left only Tsunade and Jiraiya in the room.

"So honestly tell me Jiraiya how strong are these two?" she asked with a serious look. He looked at her with a grin as he headed for the door.

"You will have to see this evening," he said making her groan in disappointment. He turned to her before leaving.

"Though I will say, you should probably appoint them to Jounin after this," he said with a grin as he left. Tsunade puzzled over his words not understanding what he meant. As she looked at the mountain of paperwork she had, she could only smile.

"This evening will be most interesting," she said as she turned to her paperwork.

The match with Kakashi is sure to draw a good amount of attention from the leaf's ninja and the rookie 9.
