(And here's my next chapter. The Shippuden saga has arrived, and I'll tell you this. You guys are going to be in for some more surprises than ever. Enjoy the chapter.)

Three years had passed since Jiraiya and Naruto had left the village, with the intent of Naruto getting stronger outside the village without the use of the Omnitrix he acquired from Galvan leader Azmuth.

Outside the village of Konoha Jiraiya and Naruto were approaching the village gates. Jiraiya hadn't changed much in terms of appearances, but Naruto on the other hand did.

Naruto had stood taller than he originally was, and had more muscle in his body than before. His attire was now composed of black shinobi sandals, dark green pants with zippers around the knee section and a belt with the symbol of the Omnitrix as the buckle, a black no sleeved shirt with a green short sleeved unbuttoned shirt over it,and around his forehead was his Konoha headband with the cloth colored green. On his left wrist was the famed Omnitrix that was currently deactivated thanks to Azmuth.

As the two approached, Jiraiya spoke up, "Well, Naruto. Home at last. How do you feel?"

"I feel all nostalgic right now." the blonde admitted, as he smiled.

Jiraiya chuckled, "Come on." they continued on before entering the village.

Meanwhile in the village, Naruto's old teammates Sakura and Sasuke were exiting a shop with some food bags. Both of them had also changed in terms of appearances and clothing.

Sakura had shortened her hair to a normal length cut. Her outfit was now composed of a red top, with black gloves, black high-heeled boots, black shorts, short pink apron-like skirt, pink elbow protectors, and her headband cloth was colored red.

Sasuke hang his bangs a little longer, and his headband cloth was now black. He wore a gray shirt with short sleeves and with a raised collar which was unzipped halfway down his chest along with the Uchiha symbol on back, blue wrist warmers, and black pants. On his back was a sheathed kusanagi sword.

"Think we got enough stuff for tonight?" Sasuke joked.

"Don't ask me. This is Kushina's list after all." Sakura reminded him.

"Guys!" came a voice, as the two saw running over to them was Akane the Hanyouian kitsune girl from planet Yokai.

Akane had also grown a bit taller in the past three years, and her curvaceous physique had only gotten a lot more sexier. She was now wearing long blue pants, a red T-shirt, and sandals.

"Akane, what's up?" Sakura asked.

"Ok, I was just out walking around minding my own business. Then I took a whiff of the air and I smelt a familiar stench I haven't took a whiff of in the last three years." the girl explained.

The two were confused, until it dawned on them. Sakura asked, "Akane, are you saying..."

Akane nodded in confirmation, "Naruto's back."

"Are you sure?" Sasuke asked curiously.

Akane looked at him with a deadpan expression, "Of course I'm sure. With my sense of smell, I'm always sure."

Sakura looked worried, "Oh my gosh. He's earlier than we thought. We gotta get these groceries to Kushina right away!"

"Akane, if you find Naruto stay at his side. We'll see you at HQ." Sasuke ordered. Akane nodded, as the two took off.

Akane took a whiff of the air and smiled like a fox, "Here I come, ready or not." she took off.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Jiraiya were walking through the village seeing it's usual civilians, and to their surprise saw multiple alien species walking about as if they were tourists.

"Wow. So Konoha has finally accepted aliens to walk among them normally and not just hire them on as Plumbers." Naruto said in amaze.

"Times are definitely changing from my day." Jiraiya smiled.

Naruto looked ahead and saw the Hokage monument in the distance. He noticed Tsunade's head was carved next to his dads, "I'll say they're changing. Haven't had a new addition to that in years."

Jiraiya looked at the head of his teammate and chuckled to himself. He thought, 'They should've carved in her torso as well.' he started to blush like the super pervert he was.

Naruto was about to continue on, until a voice squealed in excitement, "NARUTO!" Naruto turned around and was suddenly tackled to the ground by Akane.

Jiraiya jumped from the girls arrival, but chuckled to himself at the position Naruto was in with her lying on top of him looking ready to have her way with him.

Naruto looked up seeing Akane smiling down at him, "Akane?"

"Long time no see." she giggled.

Naruto blushed a bit before answering, "You can say that again," Akane finally got off Naruto, and the two got to their feet, "Boy you look amazing, Akane."

"Thanks, you look great too." Akane blushed at the sight of him.

Naruto chuckled, as Jiraiya spoke, "Nice to see you again, Akane. I see you've been keeping yourself in perfect shape." he said while eying her up.

Naruto frowned and finger motioned to his master, "Don't flirt with her."

Akane giggled, and spoke, "We have so much catching up to do."

"I know. I can't wait to tell you and the others about my trip." Naruto answered.

"First thing's first, we need to report to Tsunade." Jiraiya reminded him.

"Right. Coming, Akane?"

"Right behind you." she said, as she followed the two to the administration building.

Once they arrived, Naruto and Jiraiya stood before Tsunade, Shizune, and Tonton, while Akane remained at the side.

"I trust the mission was a success?" Tsunade asked.

"It was more than a success, baa-san," Naruto began, "It was an experience."

"Where did you go?" Shizune inquired, only for Tsunade to hush her.

"There will be time for that later, Shizune. Right now we need to be elsewhere." she reminded her.

"Oh, that's right." Shizune remembered.

Naruto was curious, "Is something going on?"

Tsunade got up form her desk, "Just follow us." she and Shizune led the three off.

Eventually they were in an elevator taking them down to Plumber's HQ. Naruto was excited to see how things were at HQ, and all his old friends. When they reached the floor, the elevator opened and they stepped out.

Upon entering a room they noticed the lights were out, "Where's the light switch?" Naruto asked, until the lights came on and was met with noise makers and poppers.

"Welcome home, Naruto!" voices cheered.

Naruto looked around in shock seeing all his friends, family, senseis, and Plumber colleagues gathered around having put a welcome back party for him.

"Whoa." Naruto gasped.

"Welcome back, Naruto." Akane said.

"Naruto!" Sakura called, as she and Sasuke approached.

"Sakura, Sasuke! How're you guys?"

"We're doing great. And it looks like you are too." Sasuke noticed.

"Thanks. Nice sword by the way, Sasuke. You took up kenjutsu?"

"Uh-huh, and you should see what this sword can really do." Sasuke smirked.

"I'd love to see it." Naruto smirked back.

"Well, nice to see you're still in good shape, Naruto." Kakashi said, as he approached.

"Hey, sensei. Nice to see you," Naruto remembered something, "Oh, yeah. I got a present for you, Kakashi-sensei."

"Oh?" Kakashi asked curiously.

Naruto pulled out a green book and presented it to his sensei, "Ta-dah!"

Kakashi's visible eye widened and he gasped, "No way! Is that?!"

Naruto nodded, "Make Out Tactis. The first book of the series in three years."

Kakashi took the book and looked at it with wonder, and was eager to read it. Approaching next was Hiruzen Sarutobi the Sandaime Hokage.

"Welcome home, Naruto. It's good to have you back."

"Thanks, Jiji."

Kushina and Minato approached, "Welcome home, son." Minato greeted him.

"Thanks, dad."

"How do you like the party? It was my idea." Kushina smiled.

"I love it. Thanks, mom." Naruto said, as he embraced his parents.

"Hi, Naruto." came a familiar voice as he saw Hinata and Tenten approach. Both had definitely developed more in the rack department, and Hinata let her hair grown out past her waist.

Upon seeing their new hotter appearances, Naruto felt flustered, "Hinata, Tenten. Good to see you two."

Tenten smiled, "Konoha wasn't the same without you."

"Yeah. It wasn't as noisy." Kiba added, wishing it stayed that way.

Naruto looked smugly at Kiba, "I can see you haven't changed."

"Naruto." another familiar voice spoke up.

Naruto looked over and coming by on hoverpad was Azmuth himself, "Azmuth-sensei." Naruto greeted him.

Azmuth inspected him, "I can see physically you've changed, but have you in terms of other fields?"

"You want to see me in action? Because I'd be willing to give you a demonstration." Naruto offered.

Azmuth smirked, "I would like that. Proceed to the training hall."

"What?" Sakura asked, "But, Azmuth, this is Naruto's welcome back party."

Hinata agreed, "Yes. Can't you give him a break since he just got home?"

Naruto held a hand out to stop her, "Relax, Hinata. I don't mind doing a little fighting demonstration. I can show you all what kind of things I've been doing the last three years."

"Then proceed." Azmuth ordered.

Naruto nodded, and went to the training room, while the others watched outside the room and observed through a wide viewing window.

Naruto stood in the room before the walls opened up and stepping in were Plumbers Robot sparing droids equipped with weapons from blasters to blades.

Naruto smirked before speaking, "Hope you guys are watching close. Because I'm about to show you what a Jinchuriki can really do." he concentrated and suddenly his whole body was engulfed by yellow flames. It also looked like he was wearing a fiery jacket much like his dad's, dark seal lines appeared on his body which now revealed the full lock that kept Kurama sealed inside him.

Kiba was the first to speak up, "Is he on fire?"

Neji looked at Naruto with his Byakugan, and answered, "That's not fire, Kiba. That's chakra."

"That's chakra?" Zaku gasped in disbelief.

"Whoa." Chouji gasped.

Jiraiya smirked, knowing they were in for a big surprise. Naruto looked at all the droids ready to fight. Naruto took off as fast as Minato when using the Hiraishin, and punched one robot putting a hole in it.

The group gasped, as Ino spoke up, "He punched right through it!"

"That's strong." Akane added.

"No kidding." Sakura agreed.

"And fast too." Minato put in.

When the robots started opening fire on Naruto with their blasters, the shinobi was running around dodging the attacks while summoning five shadow clones. Suddenly from their backs came multiple arms made from their chakra cloaks that grabbed the robots and crushed them up.

"Did his chakra just make arms?" Shikamaru asked.

Jiraiya answered, "Uh-huh. Now the chakra of Kurama can function as extensions of Naruto's body. With those chakra arms he can attack an enemy from all sides."

"It's like Gaara's sand defense." Lee noted.

Jiraiya nodded, "He was able to obtain this form when we were visiting Kumo. He underwent full Jinchuriki training with Bee at a special training temple located on an island in the village."

Everyone watched the fight continue as Naruto dispelled his clones, and continued using his speed and maneuvering to avoid the attacks of the robots. Suddenly some of his chakra arms started forming Rasengans.

"Rasan Rengan!" he called, as his chakra arms shoved the Rasengans into a few of the robots.

"He can use that chakra cloak to form his Rasengan now?" Sakura asked in disbelief.

"And with those chakra arms he can make multiple ones." Sasuke added in amaze.

Jiraiya nodded and turned to such sensory ninja like Squad 8 and Neji, "And that new upgrade to his Jinchuriki power gives him a sensory power beyond what you guys can do."

"How so?" Shino inquired.

"He is capable of sensing the goodness and evil intent within a person."

"He what?" Kiba asked in shock.

Neji spoke, "With a sensory power like that he could see through even the most convincing of disguises."

"No kidding." Tenten agreed in awe.

Naruto stood tough as he saw the biggest robot present itself and ready to attack. Naruto smirked at it, and spoke, "You and me now, tough guy."

The robot went on to attack, as Naruto charged right at it. The shinobi held out his right hand, as two chakra arms were molding a Rasengan into his palm. The group noticed the Rasengan forming started getting bigger.

"That's a big Rasengan." Kakashi noted.

"Yeah. I was never able to make it that size." Minato added in amaze.

Naruto charged at the robot calling out, "Oodama Rasengan!" he shoved it into the robots chest and ended up going right through the hole he put in it because of his jutsu. When Naruto landed behind the robot, it blew to pieces.

Naruto looked back seeing everyone's shocked expression through the viewing window, "How do you like that?"

The shinobi plumbers started applauding on his performance, as Azmuth thought, 'Perfect. Now he's strong as both a shinobi and master of the Omnitrix.'

After the cleanup inside the training room, Naruto's party had finally got underway with Naruto sharing tales about where he went on his trip.

"You really traveled to other planets, Naruto?" Ino asked.

"That's right. A lot of them were very hospitable. Others had a funny way of showing it. And some of the planets I had to learn the native language of."

"Such as?" Hinata inquired.

"Well, like this." Naruto started and began speaking in an alien language.

His fellow shinobi were confused, as Sakura asked, "What language was that?"

"It's called Klingon. And it really wasn't that hard to learn once you know the right pronunciation."

"And what did you just say in that language?" Hinata wondered.

Naruto looked around seeing everyone was curious. He didn't want everyone to know so he went to Hinata and whispered into her ear, "Your rack is hot."

Hinata suddenly turned red as the blood rushed to her head, and fainted in Naruto's arms. The others were shocked, as Kiba spoke, "What did you tell her?"

"I can't say to you," Naruto replied, before helping Hinata calm down. He quickly decided to change the subject, "So how have things been going for you guys?"

"Well, we're not rookie plumbers anymore." Sakura answered.

"That's good to hear," Naruto answered, before noticing Shikamaru, Chouji, Hinata, and Shino approach, "What is it, guys?"

"Well, while you were away we've joined the Plumbers ranks." Hinata explained.

"Really? I mean that's great, but I thought you all had your reasons for not joining."

"Well, after seeing how much stronger everyone else was getting as shinobi and plumbers we thought it'd be best if we did join the ranks so we can be better prepared." Chouji explained.

Naruto smiled, "Well, you guys made a wise choice."

Azmuth approached, "Naruto, your demonstration had proven that you were able to hone your shinobi skills without needing to use the Omnitrix. For that I commend you."

"Thanks, Azmuth."

"And as promised, I shall now unlock a new batch of aliens for you to try." Azmuth said, as he climbed onto Naruto's arm and turned the dial of the Omnitrix. When he finished the Omnitrix reactivated putting a smile on Naruto's face.

"Yes! The Omnitrix is back! Oh, I can't wait to go alien again."

"Hope you didn't go into withdrawal from now being able to go alien for three years." Sasuke said.

"Actually, I managed. While I haven't been able to transform. I was able to communicate with the aliens in the watch in my mind. They are a part of me now after all," the others agreed. Naruto looked at the global monitor in Plumber's HQ, seeing the map of the Ninja Land, "Look out world, there's a new Naruto in town."

Meanwhile in Oto, inside Orochimaru's lair, the rogue sannin and Lord Valmark were sitting down enjoying tea and a bizarre alien beverage respectively.

Suddenly the door to the room opened, with Kabuto and Ninenine entering "Lord Orochimaru. Lord Valmark." Kabuto began.

The two looked at their respective right hand men, as the sannin asked, "Yes, what is it?"

"We have news from Konoha." Ninenine said.

The two suddenly looked interested, as Valmark spoke, "Go on."

"He's back, my lords," Kabuto stated, "Naruto Uzumaki has returned to Konoha."

Suddenly their looks of curiosity were replaced with looks of intrigue, "Excellent." Valmark answered.

Orochimaru continued, "It was only a matter of time before he and Jiraiya returned."

"And now that he's back it's time we returned to the fray as well," Valmark said, "Soon the Omnitrix will be mine at last."

"And the ninja world will cower before me." Orochimaru declared, as the two snickered.

(And that's the chapter. Naruto's back with new power that'll surely make his aliens just as strong. Don't miss next time, guys.)
