Chapter 5: Return to the Leaves
Memories are painful, they remind me of actions I wish I had not done, they plague my sleep as punishment for crimes I wish I hadn't committed.

6 Years Later on the road to the Hidden Leaf Village
Six years had changed Naruto and his group. Well most of his group, Feneris looked like he had only aged a few minutes instead of six years. Naruto now sported an orange and black coat and pants, with his clan symbol of a red spiral on its back and a strange furry orange scarf around his neck. Gaara wore the clothing common in wind country only in the less common black variety. Haku wore green insulated clothing with a snowflake sign on the back.
"Feneris, why are we going to the Leaf of all the hidden villages?" Naruto complained.
"First, it is the friendliest of all the hidden villages; second it is one of the few places where they don't have grievances against me." Was Feneris's answer
"We wouldn't want another incident, like the one where you stole the most carefully guarded secrets of the Hidden Mist Village and simultaneously humiliated the Mizukage." Gaara replied in an annoyed tone.
"Don't worry guys." Feneris said sheepishly, "I'm not going to pull some stunt that will evolve into a demonstration of magic and mass destruction."
The group walked down the road in silence. Naruto was thinking about how people would react to him and how much he missed the ramen. Haku was excited, because he had heard that people with advanced bloodlines were not feared in the leaf, but instead respected and honoured. Gaara was currently playing poker with Shukaku and not paying attention, and Feneris was reminiscing on how powerful his students had gotten and how proud he was of them.
Soon the gates of the Village Hidden in the Leaves came into view, two chunin guards stood at the entrance.
"What's your business will the Hidden Leaf Village." One of the guards said in a bored tone.
"I'm here to see the Hokage about enlisting my students as gennin of the Leaf." Feneris answered
"Alright, just head to the Hokage tower, it's big and tall, you can't miss it." The guard said in the same bored tone.
Feneris and his students walked through the streets of the Leaf, Naruto noticed that only a few people recognized him and thus sent him glares.
"Kind of depressing huh kit?" Kyuubi said at the back of Naruto's mind.
"Aye, it is." Naruto thought back
"Don't worry about it though," Kyuubi added, "when you become Hokage they will see how wrong they were about both of us."
"Thanks Kyuubi," Naruto thought. "I feel much better."
"Anytime kit," the youkai samurai answered.
Hokage's Office
The 3rd sighed as he stared at the growing mountain of paperwork, the 4th had been notorious for skipping out on paperwork, but the 3rd had no idea he was this bad! There were even papers here dated the day the 4th became Hokage! When Naruto used to be around he would use the excuse that he needed to see Naruto then leave the paperwork to his secretary. The hokage sighed, he secretly missed the kid, yet when he had read Kakashi's report he had come to the same conclusion, that Naruto was probably dead."
"What do mean we can't see him!" an unfamiliar voice said from the other side of the wall yelled.
"I'm sorry but the honourable lord Hokage is busy right now." Ebisu, his temporary secretary replied.
"Prove it!" the voice roared.
"Make m…." Ebisu's retort was interrupted by the sound of a punch and breaking glass.
Ebisu then stuck his head through the door, his black glasses had been busted and he was sporting a black eye.
"Hokage-sama." He said "there are four people wanting to see you about becoming ninjas"
"Send them in." the 3rd replied in a bored tone.
Ebisu opened the door and four people walked in, a brown haired man in green cloak, a red haired boy in black with a gourd strapped to his back, a black haired kid in green and dark yellow, and…
"HEY OLD MAN!"
Naruto!
The third's mind temporally shut down for a couple seconds as he processed the information
"Naruto was alive! He seemed fine. Why did he come back, and who was he with?" the old man thought before saying "Naruto care to introduce me to your friends."
"Sure, this is Gaara of the Sand," he said pointing to the red haired kid, "this is Haku,"
"And I am Feneris of the Moonstalker clan," the brown haired man greeted. "As you know I'm hoping to have my students become gennin of the leaf."
"They will have to enter the academy and pass the gennin test." The hokage said
"I have complete faith that my students will pass the gennin test, without academy training."
"Really, then I'm enlisting your students in Iruka's class they will be having a gennin test in a few days."
"Good. Hey you guys find yourselves a place to stay! I need to talk to the Hokage," Feneris said tossing Haku a bag of gold coins.
As his students disappeared out of the door, Feneris turned to the hokage and said "I'm interested in becoming a jonin instructor; I know I meet the requirements, and Naruto's, Gaara's, and Haku's skills should be a testament of my teaching abilities."
The hokage thought for a moment then said "if your students pass the test with high marks I'll initiate you as a jonin of the leaf."
"Deal,"
A three bedroom apartment above the Ichiraku Ramen Bar
Naruto, Gaara and Haku were setting themselves up in an apartment above Ichiraku's ramen bar; Ichiraku had been kind enough to rent them an empty apartment. Soon a falcon flew in the window and tossed a message on the table, recognizing one his sensei's three animal companions, the falcon Zephyr Haku walked over and tossed it some chicken he had saved for later, before picking up the message and reading out loud.
Hey you guys, if you got this that means Zephyr thinks you've found a place, I won't be joining you in your new place. Think of it as a lesson in independence.
Oh and Iruka's class is in room 105 and starts at 8:00. Don't be afraid to perform any strong jutsus, just
no forbidden jutsus, you know what they are
no mass destruction jutsus
Gaara, no killing anyone.
Signed
Feneris of the Moonstalker clan
"What does he mean lesson in independence?" Naruto asked.
"It means that he wants to see how well we last without him to help us. Meathead" Gaara explained.
"Hey I'm not a meathead." Naruto yelled indignantly
"Guys we need to finish unpacking." Haku yelled as he took a futon out of his pack along with a leather case of lock picks and other tools of sabotage.
Ninja Academy of the Village Hidden in the Leaves, Room 105
Iruka glanced at the clock the only person there was Sasuke Uchia, next few random students would filter in followed by Sakura and Ino. Just then Iruka heard the pounding of feet down the hall.
"Must be the new students coming to take the Gennin test." he thought.
Naruto then barreled into the classroom taking out a sizable chunk of the door followed by a running Haku, Gaara walked into the classroom a few second later.
Iruka gasped, Naruto! He was proclaimed dead after he went missing, truth be told Naruto had rubbed off on him and he had not attended any of the celebrations on the "death of the demon fox."
For the next ½ hour he watched them play a more dangerous version of jacks and instead of using a ball they were throwing kunai in the air then grabbing the jacks before the kunai hit the desk.
Soon the arguing of Sakura and Ino signaled the start of class.
"Okay class," Iruka said, "first we have three new students, Naruto Uzimaki, Gaara of the Sand and Haku."
"Next today is the gennin test, you will be tested on the Clone jutsu, and the Transformation Jutsu. First up is Sakura Haruno"
Naruto watched as a pink haired girl walked up to the front of the class, as she preformed the two jutsus perfectly, he checked her aura, normally it showed shades of clam blues and green, but on occasion it would flare up with bright reds and oranges suggesting another entity within her, probably a spirit or something, never the less she was interesting.
Naruto's toughs were cut short as Gaara was called down to take the gennin test.
Gaara stood in front of the two teachers, flashing a few hand seals he created 4 sand clones then turned into Iruka with the transformation jutsu.
Haku then did the same thing as Gaara except with ice clones."
Naruto was called up next, getting up he poked his scarf and said, "Yo Warufuzake wake up you lazy kitsune."
To the delight of the females in the class, the scarf yawned and revealed it's self to be a small fox pup.
Walking up to the front of the class he started a series of very complicated hand seals before yelling out, "True shadow clone jutsu!"
Three copies of Naruto and Warufuzake appeared out of thin air, Naruto grinned, he could see Iruka's eyes bulging, then all of his clones flashed through a the seals for the Transformation jutsu, soon 8 copies of Iruka stood at the front of the class.
As Naruto collected his headband, Iruka stood up he could see Sasuke trembling with rage at being out shown by three nobs.
"All right all those who pass meet here again to meet your jonin instructors." Iruka announced before leaving.
Naruto, Gaara, walked home to the apartment looking slightly dejected, they thought for sure Feneris would show up to congratulate them. As they walked into the ramen bar they got the daylights scared out of them as Feneris, Ichiraku and Ayame, jumped out from behind the counter and yelled "CONGRADULATONS FOR BECOMING NINJA!"
In the Secret Jonin Only Bar
All the jonins stood around a table as they argued about who was going to train who. Finally the Hokage stepped up and said,
"Alright Feneris, has called Kiba, Shino and Sakura. Kakashi has called Gaara, Naruto, and Haku, and Itachi has called his brother Sasuke. For those who can't agree we will decide this the way we have for generations." The hokage said a he pulled out a baseball cap. "We will draw names out of a hat."
