Chapter 4: A Chance To Correct Past Mistakes

Kakashi, Anko, and Kurenai led Naruto and Jennifer to the Hokage's office where Naruto explains everything to Sarutobi, which is only solidified when Naruto and Jennifer show him and the others present their Power Suits and their advanced weapons.

As the conversation continues, the aged Hokage notices that Naruto isn't acting like he had remembered, he was calm and reserved while maintaining an almost stoic visage as he spoke.

"May I ask you something, Naruto, my boy?" Hiruzen asks, the blonde nods.

"What happened to you, you're not well...you, I mean...the you that I remember?"

Naruto's jaw set and his eyes hardened, the sight had frightened Hiruzen.

"I'm not the same ignorant Baka or Gaki that I was when I left here, Hokage-sama, the war we've been fighting against the Bio-Dreads has opened my eyes about myself." Naruto says flatly.

"Naruto, what are these Bio-Dreads you speak of?" asked Sarutobi.

Naruto explained everything to the Hokage.

The next day, Naruto and Jennifer arrived at Training Ground 7 where Sasuke and Sakura were waiting, Jennifer wishes Naruto luck and gives him a gentle kiss on the cheek before going over to a tree to sit underneath it.

Sakura, still upset about how she treated Naruto before he disappeared and how she was now determined to make amends and salvage their friendship, or more accurately put- Naruto's unending and blind devotion to towards her, but now - Naruto is vastly different from how she had remembered her blonde teammate.
