Chapter 6-Reunion With Naruto!

Disclaimer: Do Not Owe Naruto!

notes: none for now. Here it is...

Two years had passed since Naruto had begun his training. After a year had passed, Naruto left on a journey with Jiraiya a vow to come back of course to become Hokage. After a year of training with Jiraiya, Naruto had mastered the Rasengan more then before as it had became powerful.

Kakashi also had trained Naruto well since he had now learned the Chidori but yet to be mastered since he doesn't have the Sharingan. Without the Sharingan, Naruto could only use the Chidori while in battle and he has a limit and for that limit, he could use only at least two times, if he uses it more then twice, he might die.

"It's good to be back!" Naruto said happily as he walked with Jiraiya as he passed the two guards by the gates. "Naruto and Jiraiya?" One of them asked as both nodded, "you should report to the Hokage since you are back. Lots had changed even though you just left for one year," the guard said smiling.

"Yea? Like what?" Naruto asked as the guard stared at him, "for once, Iruka became Jounin few months later after you left," he said as Naruto's eyes widened. "Iruka-sensei?" He asked as the guard nodded, "I don't want to tell you all the details, but I guess you should see your friends and sensei's," he said as Naruto nodded.

The two waved good-bye as Naruto looked around, "I should get going to the Hokage. Naruto, you don't have to come so you can try to find your friends," Jiraiya said as Naruto beamed. Jiraiya left as Naruto looked around as he searched for someone he knows, "Naruto?" A voice asked as Naruto looked and saw Sakura along with Shikamaru and Ino.

"Hey! It's been a long time!" Naruto exclaimed happily as Sakura smiled, "it's only been a year idiot," she said as Naruto smiled. "I know, but it felt like forever," he said as Ino nodded, "you bet. Shikamaru and I are now a couple," she said happily. "You two?" Naruto asked as Shikamaru didn't said anything, "yea. Took Shikamaru long to confess his feelings for me," Ino said smirking.

"Will you quit saying that Ino? I said it to you and now we are together. Aren't you glad?" Shikamaru asked annoyed, "I am. But I just want people to know we are together Shikamaru," Ino said as Shikamaru didn't said anything. "Say, how's Kakashi doing?" Naruto asked as Sakura smiled, "his doing great. Kakashi and I started dating," she said.

Naruto looked at her shocked, "what? Dating?" He asked as Sakura blushed and nodded. "We should get out off the streets you guys. People still aren't happy about you two being together," Shikamaru said as Sakura agreed, "where do you want to go then?" Naruto asked as Ino smiled.

"They've built this new ramen restaurant right after you left and it's a success! You should know the owner," she said as the group went to the new ramen restaurant. "All right! Ramen!" Naruto called out happily as Sakura sighed, "you hadn't changed a thing, did you Naruto?" Kakashi asked as Naruto laughed.

When they got inside the restaurant, the group spotted several familiar Jounin's at a booth as Kakashi and Iruka wanted to speak to Naruto themselves so the two left to be with the chunnin's. "By the way Naruto, did you know that your the only one who didn't became chunnin?" Shikamaru asked as Naruto blinked, "what? Are you saying all three of you are chunnin?" He asked.

"I was surprised that Sakura here became chunnin as well. But I guess since she's trained with the Hokage, I guess it was expected," Ino said as Sakura blushed embarrassed. "I was surprised with you as well Ino. Never knew you will become chunnin," she said as Ino smiled, "you must be kidding! I'm the only one that's not chunnin?" Naruto asked angrily.

"Relax Naruto. You just didn't became chunnin because you were with Jiraiya all the time," Iruka said as Naruto sighed. "How did this happen?" He asked as he groaned, "don't worry Naruto. I'm sure the Hokage will promote you to chunnin after she see's how powerful you had become," Sakura said.

"I have to speak to you two," a voice said suddenly as the group looked and saw Jiraiya standing between Kakashi and Iruka who nodded and the trio went outside to speak.

(Outside)

"You seem serious Jiraiya. Is something the matter?" Iruka asked as Jiraiya sighed, "I just came from the Hokage's office awhile ago. I heard news that Sasuke is coming here in a few days," he said as Iruka and Kakashi were both surprised. "Do you know why Jiraiya?" Kakashi asked, "apparently Sasuke killed his own brother Itachi right after we left. He also killed Kisame easily and I doubt his the same Sasuke we all knew back then," Jiraiya explained.

"Perhaps there's a little bit of the Sasuke we know deep inside of him. We just have to wake him up and realize that his a lover to Naruto," Iruka said. "Jiraiya, was Naruto ever upset about leaving Konoha or not being to be with Sasuke?" Kakashi asked as Jiraiya looked at him, "he was with Konoha but he did talked very little about Sasuke at the beginning. I don't think he would forget about Sasuke nor Konoha. That's not like Naruto at all," he said.

"Then there is still hope in bringing back Sasuke after all. Tsunade has to find an antidote for him. We don't have to kill him right?" Kakashi asked, "Naruto has to bring back Sasuke and make him unconscious for a long time that the antidote will bring him back and not let him a monster anymore," Jiraiya replied.

"Seems complicated," Iruka said quietly. "Tsunade had been working on the antidote quite sometime after she found out the news about Sasuke. She is after all, a genius medical ninja," Jiraiya said smiling, "let's just hope it works when we do it. What about Naruto? Should we tell him about it?" Iruka asked.

Jiraiya shook his head, "the news may effect himon his training. Just keep it quiet until the day comes," he said as the two nodded and Jiraiya left as the two went back inside the restaurant. "Hey! What took you so long?" Naruto complained as Kakashi didn't said anything, "did you know that the old man died here?" Naruto asked.

"Yes. I am sorry that you weren't here for his funeral Naruto," Iruka said as Naruto nodded as he returned talking to Sakura and the others. Naruto, be on the look out for anything, Kakashi thought as he was staring at him worriedly.
