Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto or any of it's characters. Do not sue me, please.

A/N: Okay chapter 1. Hope ya like it. Also I will be having occasional flashbacks from the past three years. And maybe some chapters I will go on about the past and nothing else. Just wait and see.

:3 Years Later:

A blonde young man could be seen running up the road. Behind him was a tall man with long white hair chasing after him. The two of them were running up the road, while being followed more slowly by two others. The other two, a red-haired young man with a gourd strapped to his back and a short dark-haired young woman with a sword, followed at a jog.

"Nyah, nyah, nyah! Can't catch me, Ero-sennin!"

"Get back here, baka!"

Their shouts could be heard from quite a distance. The sentries at the gate of Konoha village could only listen on in confusion. It seemed the "idiot" was in trouble by the "lustful man." From the shouts it seemed the "idiot" stopped the "lustful man" from peeping on the woman bathing and now he (the lustful man) was going to beat up the idiot. As the four travelers came up to the entrance they were halted.

"You four, state your name and purpose for coming to this village," one of the sentries shouted not recognizing the Sennin. "I am the toad hermit and my purpose is none of you concern."

"Why you..."

The one sentry prepared to attack, but was stopped because his partner finally recognized Jiraiya as one of the three legendary Sennin. After this they were allowed to enter with no complaint.

"Okay you three, we're here for the Chunnin exams. Until it starts your free to wander around," saying this he then disappears.

"I just want to prove my power, I do not care to explore," the red-headed man said to his companions as he walks away.

"Gaara your boring! Come on Naruto, you have to show me the village."

"Alright, alright, well lets go Yuki-chan," Naruto says to the young woman as she begins to jump around. "But first lets go eat ramen."

The sound of her fist hitting his jaw made a few people stop in surprise. Seeing nothing thought they continue on their way muttering about ghosts or spirits.

"Jiraiya, it's been a while," the Hokage remarked as the sennin appeared. His appearance hadn't changed the Hokage thinks to himself. The sparkle in his eyes was still the same, as well as the leer on his face.

"Yeah, three years since my last visit to Konoha," Jiraiya said quietly, then continued. "Naruto has become powerful, and he has two best friends in Yukionna and Gaara." At this he pauses, as if unsure how to continue.

"You've brought them for the chunnin exam?"

"Yes, also I want them as leaf nins."

Nodding his head the Hokage agreed to do it. "Jiraiya, what has happened to Naruto?" Jiraiya began to tell everything "... and that sensei is how we came to here." Silence met his last sentence, the Hokage merely sat there, absorbing all that Jiraiya had just told him.

"You know, Ruto-kun, I'm almost sorry for hitting you. That ramen was good," Yuki told him. They were now heading towards the training ground to explore. As they reached the area, they could see four people out there. Three of them were training, while the fourth stood reading a book.

"Yuki-chan, its two people from my academy," he said excitedly. A strong opponent drove him crazy until he could fight them and the two guys on the team seemed strong.

"Okay, Ruto-kun. You challenge the dark-haired guy and I'll challenge the other," with that the two of them run forward.

"Hey, hey, Uchiha Sasuke, lets fight!" Naruto shouted as he got closer. The four watched them run forward. Sasuke said something to the silver-haired Jounin and to his teammate. Nodding his head eth Jounin motioned the two guys forward.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto and this is Yukionna. Lets fight!"

"Fine," saying this Uchiha and his teammate step away from his teacher and last teammate and walked to the middle of the field. Naruto followed, the two groups stood calmly in the field sizing up their opponent.

Gaara stood at the edge of the forest, watching his prey fight. The silver-eyed one would require watching. The big-browed on seemed foolish, but strong in taijutsu. It was no matter his sand shield would stop that one as well as the weapons girl. The fights he could have, no would have. Naruto and Yuki are fighting someone, thinking this he heads that way.

Reaching where they were, he watched the four of them battle on. Naruto had two chakra enhanced clones out helping in the fight. The dark haired one had red eyes and seemed to be able to hold his own quite well against Naruto. It would be more interesting if they tried. Kunai and shurikens were flying back and fourth. One clone jumped behind the dark-haired one and got a kunai in the gut.

Yuki was holding was holding her own against the other one. Those two were using mostly taijutsu with a little ninjutsu tossed in. The two that weren't battling stood by and watched. The pink-haired one was cheering on her two teammates. It was boring, Yuki will win her fight and then when she went to help Naruto the silver-haired one would stop it. Time to leave.

"Ice Hold," Yuki muttered to herself as she did the proper seals. Ice suddenly appeared at the guys leg, trapping him. Running forward she pressed a pressure point to knock him out. After this she began to move towards Naruto.

So Yuki-chan decided to end the fight, he thought as she moved towards them. Uchiha was good, very good. It was fun to test him, just like he's doing to me. Pooling chakra to his feet he jumps in the air with Yuki coming underneath. Uchiha wouldn't know who was attacking, because the blow would come from both of them. It was a move to finish the fight. Just as he began to ready himself to attack, the Jounin stepped in.

"Alright, you guys that's enough."

Both stopping in mid-attack, Yuki halted calmly and Naruto landed quietly. Neither of them were breathing hard, hardened fighters both of them.

"Nice match all of you. Sakura see a girl can be powerful. Sasuke, you should watch all of your opponents when battling two that work together often."

"Hn."

"You two are good. Who's your instructor?"

"Ero-sennin," Naruto tells them. After being hit in the head by Yuki he says the right name. Sakura's mouth opens at the mention of the legendary ninja's name. Sasuke says nothing at the mention of Naruto's teacher. Kakashi merely nods as he remembered at the meeting of three years ago. Seeing the time Yuki and Naruto rush off.

So that's who taught Naruto. No wonder he was good, if dead last can become that good I wonder how much I would have improved. Then Sasukes thoughts went to how different the class clown looked. Three years definitely changed him, gone was that that obnoxious orange jumpsuit, now all black clothed his lithe tan body. It made his blonde hair look gold and his eyes were a deep blue. He's taller and definitely more muscled, he looked good. Shocked at how much he remembered Naruto he violently shakes his head. Not good thinking like that. He is only an obstacle in my path as an avenger.
"You know Ruto, that Uchiha kid is kinda cute."

"Shut up, baka."

"Why are you blushing?'

"I-I'm not blushing and leave me alone."

Staring at Naruto a moment she grinned. So that's how it is. They walk on a little more, before Naruto says some more. "He is kinda cute, but I'd only be interested if he was a girl that is," he finished in a rush. She only said 'hmmmmm' and they left the conversation at that. Walking along he pointed out places in town and some of the ninja's he knew from the academy.

I wonder how Iruka-sensei is, I ought to visit him. "Hey Yuki-chan, I'm going to go visit my first teacher. You can explore while I'm gone," saying this he took off in the direction of the academy. Yuki watched him leave, then went in search of Gaara.

It feels weird being back here, no dirty look, or anything like that. Going over the rooftops was the quickest way to reach the academy. Although it would be closed now, Iruka-sensei would still be there. He always stayed after to works some more. I wonder if he will recognize me? Smiling at that thought he dropped in the academy's yard. Still looked the same. The funny thing was that is looked bigger last time he was here. Smirking since it was him that was bigger he walked through the front door. Sitting behind a desk Iruka was grading papers. He hadn't noticed Naruto's arrival.

"Hello, Iruka-sensei." Iruka jumped in shock and quickly turned towards the door. Recognition was instantly on his face, then joy at seeing him. "Naruto..."

Only two of them stood there, Naruto was probably with Iruka still. It was surprising it's taken him that long to go visit his old teacher. Wonder what happened, either way even showing Yuki around wouldn't have taken that long.

"Did you explore enough?"

"Hai, sensei."

"..."

"Well brats, lets get going. Naruto can find us later," saying this Jiraiya motions for them to follow. All three of them disappear in a puff of smoke.

A/N: Well that is chapter one. Hope you like it. By the way I need two people to be a beta reader for this story. E-mail me if you would like to be those beta readers. Reviews are welcomed.

Midori: Thanxs for telling me. Reviews like this make me enjoy writing.

lady of the myst: Sorry SasuNaru action won't be seen for a while, but it will be there. I want to build up the storyline first, so like in the actual series they will be rivals first. The whole blushing scene will probably the most SasuNaru action in a while. But I may put in more depending on how I want the story to go. Also no need to worry I'm only for SasuNaru stuff.

Dajare: Thanxs for the review and I'll try to make it less swift.

Silent Angel: Thanxs I'm taking the part about beta reader to heart. So next chapter I will hopefully already had it checked by two people. No need to worry about Mary-Sueishness, I'm trying to stay with the story but with my own twist. So no OC pairings with actual characters.

Tyranimo: Thanxs for telling me and the plot will definitly begin to develop in the next chapters. Plus next chapter will be an insight on how Naruto spent his 3 years.

All other reviewers thank you for reading and sending a review. I really appreciate when people review so thank you again.
