Chapter 49 Return to Konoha
Two and a half years later…
The three ninja and fox were on their way home to Konoha.
Seth's P.O.V.
Naruto's appearance had changed well not that much.
He had grown taller in doing so, he had moved away from the bright neon orange he used to wear. He still wore orange but it was a darker shade that would a little more difficult to spot but his out fit also mixed in bits of black and he had gotten some black sandals.
For me I also grew taller. My clothing patterns mostly stayed the same the usual whites and blacks with dragons stitched in them. The only real differences my clothing had besides size was that there were patches of different shades of grey mixed in and that there were some improvements of armor like from the steel chainmail I used to use to a steel and titanium alloy version. It had a slight greenish tint in its color you could see just around the base of my neckline. I still carried Kody around in a back pack. The one I took with me originally had failed horribly so I had to get a different one but, on the bright the new was much bigger and durably it was designed to survive a war. Well other than that I had gotten a basic shield it was round and made of wood. To me it was a blank slate waiting for the right hands to leave their mark, I wonder if TenTen's father still does smithing.
"Hey there it is!" Naruto yelled as Konoha finally came into sight. And boy was he right there it was with its wooden walls still standing tall. When we entered I started to say "Wow not much has changed…" until I saw the hokage monument. "Well except for that. I wonder when that was added." Tsunade's face was now on the monument.
"Hey Naruto I'm gonna break from the group and go looking for Crash." I said.
"If you looking for Crash he's on a mission right now." I heard the voice Gai. I turned my head in his direction to see the whole team Lee he was out of that green jump suit and was wearing Chunin vest though he still looked creepily like Gai, Neji he let his hair grow out and he was wearing loose fitting outfitting I think I saw Hinata's father wearing something similar when I took the chunin exams, TenTen she was wearing what looked to be a shrine maiden's outfit that looked like it was modified for fighting she had a giant scroll on her back, and Gai still standing above them.
"Hey, I didn't realise that all of team Gai was here."
"Well actually we were on our way to a mission."
"Oh, well before you guys leave; TenTen I have a simple question for you."
"Okay.?" She responded sounding a bit confused.
"Does your dad still smith? Cause if so I want find out what he can do with this shield I got couple months ago."
"Yes he still does, you remember where it is?"
"No, and you don't have to show me. I just need the address." I admitted.
So she gave me the address and I was on my way. Once I dropped the shield off I went to go find some food I was hungry.
Kakashi had soon found me at Ichiraku's finishing off a bowl ment for 5 people to share. He soon told me to meet him, Naruto and Sakura at training ground 13. The place where the team all started. Kakashi then poofed he must have sent a clone. Well I finished my Ramen and paid for my meal before rushing over to the training ground.
At the training ground…
I finally showed.
"What took you so long?" I heard Sakura ask me.
"I was finishing my stupidly large bowl of Ramen and I say it was worth it."
"Well just so you know Kakashi has already started testing us were supposed to get the bells for real this time." she explained to me.
"Well I don't think he knows I've showed yet. We should use this to our advantage. I'll hinge into a Kunai to be thrown to get behind. Naruto will have to keep pressure on him so that he is forced to dodge by bending backwards. And yes Naruto you get to have a bit of; thousand years of death, revenge getting him with his back to a tree."
Saying that got Naruto to rub his hands together with an evil look on his face. That got him onboard with the plan and with everyone onboard it was a go.
Well I'll say this it sort of worked we got the bells just not how we intended. We got them when Naruto threatened to spoil Kakashi's book after the initial plan failed.
