(Here you go with my next installment.)
That night after squad seven completed their test against Kakashi, they were at the underground lair relaxing, "Man that Kakashi-sensei sure knows how to push a guy to his limits." Naruto stretched his arms.
"I'll say my hands are still numb." Himeko added.
"You have all done well, and for that you should be very proud of your progress." Splinter said to his students.
"Master Splinter's right, you five really did improve over the last three years, and now it's time you guys continued training harder as a full team." Leo explained.
"Leo's right, so I hope you guys are prepared to fight side by side once again as you did in the past." Donny adds.
"We're more than prepared Donny, right guys?" Sakura asked turning to her team.
"You bet we are, Sakura." Kin agreed.
"That's right." Sasuke nodded.
"For real," Naruto added until he looked at his watch seeing it was already seven O'clock at night, "Whoa is that the time, Himeko we better hurry."
"Coming." Himeko said as she and Naruto hurried out leaving the others.
"So where're they off to in such a hurry?" Raph asked.
"Well Naruto was telling us earlier on before our training exercise he was planning a double date with him, Himeko, and Hinata." Sakura explained.
"Aw his first date in three years." Mikey said all lovey dovey.
"Technically Mikey this would mark his first date ever." Donny corrected his brother.
"Awe who cares, point is Naruto's finally getting some down time with his two fiancés." Mikey replied.
"Mikey's right, they haven't seen each other in three years," Kushina put in, "Let's let them enjoy this night."
"Yeah, Sasuke why don't we have our own night." Sakura asked smiling at Sasuke who started blushing a bit.
"Oh get a room you two." Kin said reminding the two that others are still there.
Soon enough above the ground, Naruto, Hinata, and Himeko were at Ichiraku having some special ramen with extra ingredients, "It's good to see you back in Konoha, Naruto," Teuchi said, "It was kinda of quiet without you around."
"Kind of?" Naruto wondered why it would only be kind of and not completely quiet.
"Well with your brother Mikey around here it was almost as if a part of you never left." Ayame added.
"Well it's good to see Mikey kept the village in it's regular hyperactive self that I supplied it with." Naruto joked.
Hinata and Himeko giggled at their future husband's humor missing it for so long, "It's so good to have you back, Naruto." Hinata said.
"You have no idea how good it is to be back, after all the training Ero-sennin put me through I thought I was going to come home in a body cast." Naruto joked.
"Well my training with Master Splinter wasn't even half as brutal as my training with Yin-Yang sensei," Himeko started, "I mean compared to the training I went through during the Chunin Exam finals, this felt like hell."
"We've all been training hard to this day," Hinata said, "And now that we're all together again, we can continue to protect Konoha from any threat."
"Speaking of threats what of pale face?" Naruto asked Himeko.
"Orochimaru?" Himeko asked, "Nothing so far. Things have been very quiet with him since you were gone."
"I see, just remember if what you said is true he will eventually come after you now that he lost his hold on Sasuke." Naruto said looking at the one mark she still had on her neck.
"I'm well aware, which is why sensei has trained me up to this point." Himeko reminded him.
"And what of the Akatsuki?" Naruto asked.
"Not a hint of them according to Tsunade-sama." Hinata replied.
"That is strange after all I'm their prime target." Naruto said knowing the last time two of them came to Konoha was because they were after him and the Kyubi.
"Because of Kyubi?" Hinata asked remembering his confession of being a Jinchuriki at the Chunin exam finals, "I heard from Kurenai sensei that the Akatsuki are after the bijuu that have been sealed inside Jinchuriki and you are one of them."
"Yup, I'm a walking target for a nuke-nin organization, am I still desirable to you?" Naruto asked hoping that wouldn't change the way she feels about him.
Hinata smiled, "Of course. I don't care what the situation is. Nothing would ever stop me from loving you Naruto." Hinata said pecking him on the cheek.
"Oh Hinata." Naruto smiled at her.
Himeko scowled, "Hold on Hinata, he's not just yours you know." She pulled Naruto closer to her.
"I know Himeko, sorry." Hinata apologized.
"Oh don't worry about it." Himeko smiled knowing better than to fight over the same guy, especially when they were both put up in the arranged marriage with him.
Naruto smiled and held the two close, "It's good to have you two back," He then looked up at the sky seeing a falling star. "Wow look at that."
"Pretty." Hinata gasped.
"Yeah it is." Himeko agreed.
Meanwhile watching them from a crystal orb inside a dark dimension was a cloaked figure, which was in fact the same figure who was watching Naruto and Himeko at the Battle Nexus tournament from the sidelines, "So, the boy has returned after three years. How very quaint. And Himeko, her powers have gotten stronger these passing years as well."
"No doubt from the assistance of Isis." A demonic voice said as the demon creature the figure summoned before to kill his hired fighter to test Isis' strength in the tournament approached.
"Yes, though she still remains unable to control the change into Isis she can however change back on her own now." The figure said.
"She is despicable, she can hardly even control the powers of Isis, had it been in my hands from the beginning I would know exactly how to use it." The demon said.
"And this is why you brought me into your little alliance, Kira." The figure said removing his hood revealing he had long silver hair and violet eyes, "I become the new summoner of the demons of your army including yourself, so long as I deliver to you the power of Isis; daughter to Kureno and Kyoko."
"Yes, you are a very reliable human associate Sakyo Taruko." Kira said to the figure now identified as Sakyo who smirked and snickered.
Meanwhile back in the ninja land in Otogakure. Inside a room, sat Orochimaru of the Sannin, after he had to switch to a new body he had to wait a year at least for his new body to be broken in. Once he got used to it, he and Kabuto had been waiting for this day,
"Now that the three years have passed it'll be soon time for me to claim my new body." Orochimaru said to himself as Kabuto was leaning against a wall listening.
"Yes after all she still bares the mark you left on her years ago." Kabuto said.
Orochimaru snickered, "Yes and her Sharingan is just as good as Sasuke's, so once it's time I need her we shall hunt her down." He smirked looking at a picture of the marking he put on Himeko hanging on the wall.
Meanwhile far from where they were, in a forest area the falling star that Naruto and the girls saw wasn't a star at all. It was a meteor object heading right for the ground. It crashed into the earth putting a crater sized hole in the ground. Grunting was heard as something crawled up and out of the hole revealing to have been the red like creature that was drifting to earth locked in ice three years ago, "What, where am I?" he asked looking around the forest area, "Wherever I am, I know for certain this cannot be New York. Nevertheless now that I am back, this world will bow before the Shredder!" he laughed maniacally.
(And that's the chapter for you.)
