Disclaimer: *sigh* I don't own Naruto in any form, except for the drawings I did free hand.

Kuroi's note: I didn't expect to get 19 reviews in less than three days. Hell I thought I wouldn't get ANY!

I have the story planned out…..never thought it would *that* many pages, now I just have to write it. I'm not making this story a yaoi, 'and then he kissed him' you know how disturbing that is to write to me? Plus 90% of the stories in the Naruto section are yaoi, I like them and all sometimes, but come on, I wanted to do something different for a change.

I'm not sure if there will be any romance, Hinata and Naruto make the cutest couple that one is a maybe. Oh and SASUKE you are a cold, frozen hearted bastard! Loosen up buddy and pull the stick out that's jammed up your ass!!!! …………there I feel much better now.

Sorry this is so long I just had to do some rambling oh and Naruto DOES come in this chapter, but…………………. You'll just have to see!

Twisted Sight

Chapter 4? (…….prologue is chapter 1...I guess) :Morning Sunshine!

The dark haired woman frowned staring at the assortment of vegetables, looking for that perfect one…..

'I guess this is what I get for being around Neji-oniisan so much' her small apartment had gone from looking like every other apartment to green. Opening the fridge could hurt the eyes if one was unused to it, a week ago something (probably spinach) was found in the back by Sakura, who swore it was radioactive by the…..glow it well radiated.

'Hinata! What the hell is this stuff?!?!'

'I think it's spinach, ummm was spinach?'

'Ah! You call this spinach?! It's glowing! See, see!' from out of nowhere Sakura started poking the 'spinach' with a pole.

'I don't see any glowing……ok so maybe you are right'

'What do you keep in here!? That stuff is radioactive! Does Neji really eat things like this?'

'Sometimes?'

'Well it's going in the garbage. When was the last time you cleaned you're fridge?'

'Errr, a week ago?'

'Hinata.'

'Yes?'

'You're a terrible liar.'

'I know.'

"Hinata? Hello anybody home." Hinata snapped out of her trans like state, finding a pale hand waving in front of her face. A blush quickly stained her cheeks.

"Gomen Nasai, Ino. I was just thinking about something, I guess I zoned out.' the slightly older girl raised a eyebrow after shaking her head.

"Well?" Hinata just blinked looking confused by the question.

"Well what?" the blonde threw her hands in the air as a way of showing her frustration.

"Where's the ring?" the blush which still was on her cheeks, darkened in embarrassment.

"Oh" she held her left hand out letting Ino inspect the new twinkling item on her ring finger. The blonde let a low whistle out.

"Damn, now that's a nice rock." she scowled putting her hands on her hips. "Oh course my lazy ass husband was to LAZY to get me a ring like that. I can imagine him saying 'it's too troublesome'!" Hinata, being the smart girl she was, stayed silent, only nodding when necessary to do so.

"I bet your Miruto-kun spent time And money buying you that. Kai! There you are." a sweat-drop rolled of the back of Hinata's head, it still amazed her, how the blonde could change her attitude in seconds. "Kai, say hello to Hinata-chan." a noticeable twitch in the corner of Hinata's mouth occurred when the 'chan' was added to the end of her name. All annoyance was quickly erased upon seeing the child in Ino's arms.

"He's so cute, Ino." the pale-eyed girl cooed over the child.

"That he is, isn't that right Kai." Kai had inherited his father's dark hair while getting Ino's eyes.

'Poor child, with parents like his, he'll probably end up traumatized for life.

"Hinata, you're doing it again."

"Ummm, gomen nasai?" she started poking her fingers together, can anyone say 'old habits die hard'.

"Like I was saying before." the blush came back full power. "Have you noticed, recently, how tense everyone is?" Hinata nodded. " They put Shikamaru on double duty, he won't even tell me why!" Ino stopped ranting and looked around. "But I can tell you one thing, whatever is going on, it's big. Real big."

* * * * * * * * *

"Ok kids, time for a test." thirty-one groans echoes soon followed. A smile flickered across his lips.

'1.…2.…3..."

"But, Iruka sensei! We just had a test yesterday!"

"And the day before!

"It's not-"

"Can we hav-" the man raised his hand…..dead silences.

'Much better'

"Now, now kids. I promise this one is easy. O.k. Tell me about the Hokages?" he was greeted by enthusiastic shouts of eleven and twelve year olds.

"Their the strongest ninja in the whol-"

"And he went bam! Right in the fac-"

"I will be Hokage one day! And then I'm going to surpass all the previous Hokages!"

'I will be Hokage one day! And then…..I'm going to surpass all the previous Hokages!" the sentence buzzed in his head over and over again.

"Ok everyone!" he learned many years ago, once children get excited only one thing worked to get their attention. "Quiet ! Unless you like cleaning chalk boards for a week!" he sighed slowly. "You're dismissed." it didn't take long for the students to get over the shock that Iruka-sensei, the man who thought that letting a class out five minutes early was outrageous…..had just done that, except, it was half an hour early.

After the last of running feet and slamming doors was done, Iruka finally lifted his head and…….looked at the clock.

"Kuso."

* * * * * * * * * *

It was perfect, absolutely perfect. A pair of feet glided soundlessly across the tiled flooring towards the oak desk in the centre. The intruder grinned viciously, looking at the only other occupant in the room who was…drooling all over the desk. The likeliness of catching a Hokage in such a vulnerable state was……..he shook his head. There was no time for thinking numbers over, he had a job to do. But sneaking in and finding her fast asleep like a little baby, made his life all the more simpler.

/But look at that face. She looks so innocent. \ he mentally snorted.

'HER innocent? Bah! Give me a break!' the man winced rubbing a invisible pain in his left cheek. 'Revenge, you gotta love it.'

"Good Morning Su-" between his middle and ring finger was a small kunai…less than an inch from his face.

/I knew this was a bad idea! But nooooo, don't listen to me! You NEVER listen to MEEE!!!\

"Well someone's a little on edge." Tsunade growled rubbing the bridge of her nose.

"Jiraiya! You baka! Why can't you use the door like any other person instead of climbing TEN FLOORS to my WINDOW with NO CHAKRA!"

/Kuso! Look at what you've done! Remember what happened last time?!?!\

"Now, now Tsunade." the white haired man slowly backed away from the angry, errr EXTREMELY angry, petite blonde. "I wouldn't have been able to see you that way though! Honestly!" her lip curled back over her teeth, angry seemed to radiate off of her in waves with every step she took forward.

"And why is that?!" he quickly searched his brain for an excuse. She lifted her hand, pointing her nails into a claw of red nails.

"The Anbu! They were swarming the place like bees! They would never believe me, even if I said I was a Sennin! Please don't hurt me." he closed his eyes, waiting for the painful impact of nails digging into his handso-

"Oh." blink, blink……

"Oh?" he stared blinking…ly at the slumped over form, sitting behind the desk?

'What the hell?! She was.. now she's, but! She was going to slap me. How?' his mental ranting stilled upon seeing the noticeable black rings under her eyes.

"Gomen nasai, I forgot about all that. I guess I thought all of that was a dream."

/Did she just apologize?\ Tsunade sighed, feeling another headache coming.

"You're probably wondering what's going on?" he nodded. (rather dumbly I might say wait……. that isn't much of a change *giggles* I just had to say that.)

"It has to do with a old student of yours." Jiraiya raised a eyebrow, in his long life he'd only had two students, the Yondaime and….

"Naruto?"

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Sakura-chan! Matte!" the pink-haired girl slowed to a stop seeing who it was calling her.

"Konichi wa, Lee-kun." she smiled gently at the Gai-look alike who in turn beamed brightly, a faint blush staining his cheeks.

"Ogenki desu ka?" she laughed rather softly.

"Genki, you?" the boy smiled, nodding his head vigorously. "I take it you're well then." The two continued to walk in silence but, every once and awhile Lee would glance at the young woman by his side.

"Sakura….." she turned to him, tilting her head to one side.

"Hai?"

"Are you really ok?" he only got a confused look. "I mean, well…..you seem down, what's wrong?"

'Naruto! Come down here, you moron! Stop fooling around! No! Not that way. You'll make Iruka-sensei's hair turn grey from stress!'

"I'm just thinking, that's all." Lee shook his head.

"Everyone's been thinking recently eh?" he rubbed the back of his neck, when Sakura glanced at him.

'I'm sorry Sakura, you're not the only one who has to follow orders.' he glowered darkly in his head, all the while keeping a happy, smiling exterior on.

"Just like everyone has a secret or too." Lee's eyes flashed quickly noticing the direction she was heading to.

"Matte!" he hesitated for a moment, trying to avoid this crush's questioning gaze. "Do you want to go out for dinner?" something lit up in her leaf green eyes and was she blushing?

"Sure, Lee-kun, I'd love to." he turned her rounding heading back to the centre of the village and away from the edge….

'Gomen Nasai, Sakura-chan. I hope this won't hurt you too much because, I don't think you will be able to handle that much more stress.'

* * * * * * * * * *

"So let me get this straight….." Jiraiya rested his feet on top of Tsunade's desk much to her annoyance. "He came in here, at night and some how snuck up on you with a kunai? Without tripping ANY traps, alarms, or shinobi?" *nod* "Then threatened you, that he'd kill every one and wipe Konoha village to nothing but rubble?" *another nod* he looked thoughtful……and not a hentai for once….if that was even possible. "I can't believe all that training got through his dense skull."

"Jiraiya!"

"Ok, ok I get it!" he took his feet off. "The thing I don't get is how could *he* out of all people beat me at something like that?" he received only a twitch from the Godaime. "I'll shut up now." she sighed again holding her head, while the hentai looked like he was in deep thought. "But"

"Jiraiya…."

"What if it *hadn't* been him though." the Godaime opened one eye, looking slightly….annoyed.

"Don't be stupid, of course it was him! It's not like it was his-" her eyes widened "clone." how foolish she was, the answer had been right under everyone's nose.

"Bingo. So you do remember."

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!' three solid clones of the Naruto appeared in a puff of smoke, quickly surrounding the other genin.

"But! Naruto could have been miles away! You have to be fairly close to produce a shadow clone." Jiraiya snorted.

"We're talking about the same brat aren't we?" Tsunade scowled darkly.. again. "This is the kid who was known as 'dead last' in his class and rank. Six months later, he was beating everyone in the Chuunin exams. When he puts his head to it, the brat can do anything. Probably still as stubborn as a mule." in their minds popped up a picture of a younger Naruto sitting with his arms crossed and a pout on his chubby face plus added donkey ears. Tsunade smiled softly thinking of the only time Naruto hadn't called her obaasan.

"For once, we actually agree on something." the two Sennin fell into a comfortable silence just letting their thoughts wandering on the past, present, and future to come.

"So…." Jiraiya placed his feet on top of the desk again. "I heard there was a new ladies bath house?" *twitch twitch*

The young secretary had just finished her paper work and was slipping it into the folder by her des…*SMACK* well that was true before, now…..

"JIRAIYA! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" she glanced at the door before picking the phone up.

"Could someone a form the Anbu to come up to the Hokage's office, they're at it again." the sound of glass shattering, followed by howls of pain rang in her ears. "and a medic." *SLAP* "or two."

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Silence surrounded them, unlike anything they'd felt before. It was like a invisible phantom was digging claws into the souls of everything it touch, plant and animal alike. The massive gates of Hidden Leaf Village swung open slowly under the massive weight.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Those near the centre of the village stopped where they were, hearing the low rumble and grind of the doors, most shivered at the sound with looks of confuse and fear. They never opened the entrance gates, ever, not since…

Again those old enough to remember what had happened years ago shook.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Tsunade pulled her robes trying to make them at least more comfortable.

'They make me look fat and this hat…..I feel like a old hag.' she always despised putting the traditional robes on, it was tradition after all. 'Screw tradition next time!'

The Anbu standing beside and around her didn't seem to notice her discomfort, thinking it had to do more on the lines of….waiting like everyone else. Every once and awhile, the Godaime would glance toward the Anbu by her side. His silver mask had no design like the others did except for the two slits which adored it only for him to see through, pale skin which seemed to match his mask, stretched over lean muscles. Dark blue coloured hair wisped in chunks that would have framed his face if the mask hadn't been there.

She looked down at the Anbu kneeling before her.

'I cannot allow this, how did you come across such in formation?' the stress from days on end of little sleep, shock and worry must have finally taken their toll on the usually calm woman.

'I over heard and wish to be there, Godaime-sama.' his cool tone made it obvious. Unless she tied him down and had a guard or two put on him, nothing would stop him from being there….just like Naruto, stubborn to the end.

'Fine, brat. You may be there, but I'm ordering you to stay in my sight at all times and don't do anything rash. We are to keep this as peaceful as possible, and having a sudden brawl does not stand a peaceful.' she scowled darkly, if Sakura were to walk through that door and ask for the same thing, she would snap.

'Arigato gozimasu, Godaime-sama.'

Tsunade's breath caught in her throat.

'He's coming.' many of the Anbu and jounin reached cautiously for weapons. As a lazy, but thick fog rolling forward from the deepest shadows, creating illusions and morphing objects until only a heavy white lay before them.

"That's a mist-nin move." many nodded slightly, they already knew those of the mist were silent killers, using the fog as cover to sneak up behind their prey and slit the throat.

Shadows began to glide forward, first one, then two, four, seven and so forth, until twenty odd cloaked beings stood before the leaf shinobi. The group moved gracefully apart letting one walk alone, directly at the Kage of the fire country and stopping only a few feet away.

The hooded cloak let nothing be revealed, it's dark material made no noise when its wearer moved. But this superficial thing didn't matter to the Hokage, only the face which was hidden in shadows mattered, or the eyes I should say. Every thought, action, and emotion she had froze, leaving shock and surprisingly…fear. Arms came out from under the cloak, giving many a quick glance at the weapons underneath to….find nothing. When the hood fell back revealing the young man's face, no one could deny the perfect resemblance of Konoha's hero, the very person who had sealed the kyuubi no Youko away. It was like looking at the Yondaime from pictures, except……when he opened his eyes.

A dark smile creped onto the face of the fourth look-alike.

"Hello obaasan, it's been awhile neh?"

…His eyes seemed to pierce her very soul, filled with dark humour and amusement. He found it enjoying how his enemies froze like deer in headlights, then again who wouldn't?

……One eye was as blue as the summer sky, and the other?

A black slit ran vertically at the centre easily trapping ones self in a hypnotic state just like a cat with a mouse. But the colour…

Was red as hell's very walls.

Naruto was back.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Kuroi's notes:……..see I did it, my longest chapter so far. Finally I get Naruto in and that means……FIGHT SCENES!!!! YEAAAAAA! Now the story will go at a faster pace since I have everything figured out. Oh and by the way SASUKE IS NOT GAY in THIS story, I do think he is in the anime and manga though. And since I'm just a 15 year old year girl, it means I have school, my parents would kill me if my grades ever dropped to a C+ soooo this means not so many updates, but I will try.

Sayonara minna-san!

P.S. THANK YOU THANKYOU THANKYOU! SSSOOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEWS!!!!! IT MEANS A LOT TO ME!…….damn I sound like a ditz……..
