Chapter 8: Hold up! Into the Future? Naruto's Homecoming.

After a wonderful nap, Naruto wakes up to feel Sori resting next to his head on the grass.

Yawning loudly, "Man that was a fucked up dream, eh Sori?"

The fox opened his eyes and looked around. "Naruto, could you not be so damn loud?" Said the disgruntled fox and rolled over.

Naruto looked around, he knew he was in the fire country, but something felt strange. "Where the fuck is here?"

Looking around what seemed to be familiar surroundings, he could here the birds chirping and the squirrels scurrying about with his enhanced hearing. Smells coming from all different directions were making his mouth water.

Looking down at his clothes he noticed some changes. Naruto's muscle mass was a bit more defined and his hands seemed a bit larger. He leaned over the water puddle next to him and saw his eyes bluer than he'd ever seen them. His unruly blond hair had grown down into spiky locks. Why he was the epitome of his Father he thought to himself.

He began to pat himself down for anything that resembled civilization until he came to his pack. He pulled it off his backside and began rummaging through it. He found some dried beef and stuck it into his mouth hanging out of the side and threw another piece over to Sori, knowing that he would need his strength also.

Naruto found the earpiece that Shikamaru had given him and ran his roughly calloused fingers over it. It made him think of home and of Hinata and the promise they made to each other. He wasn't stupid, he aged, he figured instead of going into the past, Orochimaru fucked up and sent him to the future.

'This will be nice, "look its Naruto! He disappeared for God knows how long and he just turns up out of the blue expecting everything to be okay. I will be mauled by Sakura-chan, Tsunade-baba, Ino and every other female in Konoha."

'Sasuke and the guys will beat me to shit have Tsunade-baba heal me up, then beat me to shit again until they are satisfied. I miss them already, time to wake up the little critter and get the fuck out of here.'

'Let's see if anyone is listening on this channel, "Konoha, this is Naruto, over."'

All he heard was static and then a couple of silences and then a lot of commotion over the radio. Naruto thought he was hearing voices, one sounded like Tsunade-baba and the other was Sakura-chan. Then he heard the most beautiful voice he longed to hear over the earpiece.

"N-Naruto-kun? Is that you?"

Oh sweet lord in heaven it was Hinata and she was alive, still had a bit of a stutter but he didn't care. He was so wrapped up in her sweet voice he didn't hear the voice above him. Sori had transformed and shielded Naruto from whoever was talking to him from the treetops; he could sense 3 Anbu, all Konoha.

Before Naruto could answer Hinata on the earpiece he bellowed, "Genma, Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke. You can all come out, I'm fine and I didn't transform into the Kyuubi if that's what you're thinking."

All three Anbu jumped down in full gear with masks in place. The years weren't very kind to Kakashi-sensei, but he still looked his exuberant self. He had a dog faced painted mask in place with that familiar tuff of silver hair no one could ever forget. Even though it felt like 2 days since that mission, somehow it felt like years and he was ready for a rest.

Genma could be seen with a senbon needle sticking out of his mask, that always gave him away, anyhow he still looked the same if not a tad bit older. The next mask he saw was a lone wolf mask in place with a long pony tailed of black hair. He knew his best friend and rival when he sensed them. No killer intentions were given off except for Sori because he was always protective of Naruto.

With a scratch behind the large fox's ear he transformed into a smaller version of himself and settled into Naruto's lap. The blonde shinobi felt the burst of chakra as he transformed of course, it was like they were one now. Now he felt like he wasn't alone anymore.

"Five years, Naruto. Five years." Said a pacing ex-sensei.

"Dobe, we looked high and low after the explosion at Orochimaru's palace. We found him dead and Kabuto in pieces," saying this with a smirk.

"Thanks to you, my cursed seal disappeared and now I'm able to kick some real ass, so you better watch out. You and I are going to spar to see what these five years have done to you. By the way, you look just like your Father, you would make him proud, Naruto." Gesturing his hand down to help the torn up shinobi to his feet. Sori leapt up on to Naruto's shoulder so he wouldn't land on the ground.

Kakashi cleared his throat, "Tsunade-sama made an announcement some years back on which you really were. You should be honored when we return to Konoha, you will get all his effects as well."

"Sensei would be so proud right now, you were a hero right as you were born, and you know that, right," as he said trying to ruffle the boy's long locks that resembled his dead sensei from all those years back. Naruto smiled so large his eyes turned into crescent moons and Kakashi could see the shining warmth within Naruto as he did with his own sensei. Underneath his mask, his one visible eye shed one shining tear that went into his mask. He was so happy to have his little prankster home again and Team 7 reunited once again with the evil gone 5 years ago. Or was it?

Naruto pressed the earpiece into his ear and replied, "Hinata-chan, I'm home."

Back in Konoha, that's all it took for Hyuuga heiress to burst into tears of joy and land flat on her ass next to Tsunade-sama's desk, dazed. Tsunade-baba stuck her own earpiece in and switched to their old channel they always kept it on waiting to hear from Naruto.

Over the years her hope began to wane, but within the last few years she felt bursts of the Kyuubi's chakra outside the village. She always had troops bordering them, esp. Kakashi and Sasuke since they were the best of the best now.

Hinata was always by her side unless there was a clan meeting of sorts, they were beginning to hand down the rights to the heiress so there were preparations to be put in order.

"Brat, it's good to have you home, so you better get it in gear everyone is waiting to see you."

Naruto grunted in acknowledgement as he began to gather his affects and strap Sori to his hiti-ate. He knew his little fox was drained and needed to be hospitalized once back in Konoha. Even though his clothes were torn and in shreds they at least covered the necessary parts. Sasuke noticed his predicament and pulled off his ANBU cloak and draped it over his best friend. Glancing at Sasuke, Naruto could see a small smile forming at the corner of the cold Uchiha's lips.

'Looks like five years have been good to him.' Naruto concluded.

Naruto hooked the front of his cloak and pulled the hood over his head to hide his identity so he wouldn't get mobbed once arrived in his home village.

"You got enough left to keep up with us or will we have to carry you, Dobe?" Smirked the Uchiha bastard.

Naruto fumed and gave off a burst of Kyuubi's chakra that blew up the cloak he was wearing. He didn't feel like fighting with the bastard today, he wanted to get home, take a long awaited shower, change clothes, get Sori to the Vet hospital and go out for some Ramen with Hinata-chan. And maybe he can get a make-out session afterwards. A 21 year old virgin, now that's bad, he thought.

"Yosh, let's go!" Screamed a blonde shinobi full of chakra.

All four shinobi's began to trail the hyperactive blonde as he sped his way home. Taking in the scenery, you wouldn't believe how the forest hadn't changed, and boy, was he glad for that. He could see where he and his friends used to play ninja on the outskirts of the town. Those days were the best when he didn't receive those cold glares.

When he heard Kakashi-sensei say that the whole village would acknowledge him as the Fourth's legacy, his heart began to race. Shrouded with a bit of disappointment, he wanted to be acknowledged for who he was, not from where he came from. All's fair in love and war, no more cold glares, maybe people would even smile at him and wave to him. How he longed for the villager's to be kind to him. Maybe his wish just might come true.

"Hinata! Snap out of it! Naruto-kun's on his way home NOW!" A shaking Sakura shouted, followed by small little voices of Hinata-chan please wake up, you're scaring us.

Hinata shook her head out of her daze and realized what she just heard and what was going on. Her Naruto-kun was coming home to her, finally. After five years of missing we find him and he's alright and Sori too.

"I'm sorry little ones." Hinata said to a little pink haired girl and a black haired boy. "Come here, Mika, Kyo." Both eyes brightened and ran for their pearl eyed heiress and hugged her tight.

"He's coming, isn't he? Hinata-Obasan?" Asked the raven haired boy. "The "Hero" has returned to retired Tsunade-baba!" Squealed an emerald eyed little girl.

Sasuke and Sakura's children were the spitting images of themselves when they were younger. Except Sakura's more dominant personality ended up in both children while Sasuke's sharp wit and genius brains ended making them unstoppable Uchiha children. If they were lucky, they might have an Ino megalomaniac just as soon as the baby was birthed.

Yes, Shikamaru finally mustered all his wits about him and claimed Ino for himself while Chouji and Sora already had a family themselves. Only ones who haven't procreated were Shino because he was the Head of his family and always doing business. Kiba was made to intermarry into his Clan, he wasn't all that mad, he always had a crush on Setsuna (4th cousin twice removed).

Lee finally got the hint that Tenten always had this crush on the eyebrow freak. The funny thing was, they made such beautiful children. None having those heavy eyebrows or "The Power of Youth."

Tenten would not have Gai-sensei ruin her children so easily. It took her years to tame the Konoha's Azure Beast (Rock Lee). The kids all (4) of them took study under their parents, they were the fastest weapons and taijutsu masters Konoha has ever seen. A couple of them preferred ninjutsu and genjutsu over their family's kinjutsu. The two weren't half bad and all four had chakra circulatory systems that were stable and working, unlike their Father Lee.

Unlike all her friends, Hinata had been given a time limit on her will to marry. She was to intermarry into the Clan as Kiba, but to the most unlikely of suitors, Neji. First they were 1st cousins and it would be weird to produce heirs like that and for the fact that she didn't see Neji in that light. He was the big brother she never had and her love always belonged to an obnoxious whiskered-face blonde who shone brighter than the sun itself.

Time was very close, and Naruto made it just in time, but the question would be, would he marry to save her from her Clan's fate?

Neji was okay with the choice he always admired Hinata-sama and enjoyed her company, her meekness and her will to never give up. "Because that is my ninja way." He would always repeat in his head then turn on his heel after watching her practice her jyuuken. He could always intermarry into the Clan and make a lovely wife like Hinata-sama would be. He smiled as the thought crossed his mind.

After hugging the two little Uchiha she nodded towards Tsunade-sama and Sakura-chan; then jumped out of the window. Even after five years Hinata looked the same, she filled out quite a bit more that she had to switch from spaghetti strapped top to a tube top bandaged underneath so she wouldn't fall out while doing her shinobi work. She decided to put on a short mini-skirt with slits up both sides but changed into black very short boy shorts underneath. The Hyuuga Clan symbol could be seen on the bottom of her skirt showing her Clan pride. All in all she was a knockout, but she had eyes for only one person and he was on his way home now.

Jumping from rooftop to rooftop she could see the busy traffic below going about their way on this quiet Friday evening. She had a gut feeling the troop of ANBU that found Naruto will be coming through the North Gate. In the direction she was heading down she saw the birds gathered flew in different directions as she zoomed past them. Her mantra, 'he's coming, he's coming, he's coming, he's-----here.'

Her eyes began to wet at the corners as she saw the ANBU enter with a cloaked figure with a tuft of blonde hair sticking out. Her stomach began to twist in knots as she began to jump faster from rooftop to rooftop. She almost felt like throwing up, but knew better on their first meeting her hurling because she loved him so much she got to see him as he entered the gate.

As Kakashi and Genma were giving their report, Naruto and Sasuke were having small talk as soon as he felt someone coming closer to him at an incredulous speed, an emotional wreck at that. He felt a familiar chakra signature, one he hadn't felt in like forever.

Hinata dove over the last building, her dark blue-black hair blowing wildly in the wind, aimed right for the cloaked figure. As his cloak slipped off his head upward, he looked up at the woman of his dreams flying through the air straight for him. Sori jumped off Naruto's head and onto Sasuke's shoulder, he didn't feel like being clobbered by a crying kunoichi. Naruto looked at his sad but happy g/f and opened his arms as if receiving her for the very first time. It looked like it was going in slow motion from Sasuke's standpoint, but he knew better. Hinata was one of the fastest kunoichi's he knew.

The impact of her hitting him was so hard, both flew back into one of the chain link fences that bordered Konoha. She snaked her arms around his midsection and buried her head in his well defined chest and cried tears of joy. All Naruto could do was smile and rub small soothing circles onto her back.

After her crying subsided, he pulled her into his lap where she was straddling a very dangerous area, a calloused hand pulled her head up to look into those lovely pearl orbs he adored so much. She put a hand on his tattered clothes and pulled herself closer to him and put her other hand on his face. She went over each whisker mark she loved so much and looked into those cerulean orbs she loved so much.

"I've been waiting a long time to do this." Replied a husky Hinata.

Half-lidded she slid her arms around his neck and pushed her breasts into his chest earning her a twitch from between his legs. She started with his earlobe and licked around it, nipping at it every now and then. Soon she took his earlobe into mouth as she rolled her tongue around it nipping here and there. Naruto's hold onto her tightened as he wanted to feel all of her against his war torn body.

'God, she's turning me on so much. I got to end this soon or I'll be taking her here at the gate and that's a big no-no.'

She removed his earlobe and gently kissed and nipped his whiskered face until she found his lips. Those beautiful pouty lips she longed to kiss all those years ago. At first she wet her lips and gently rubbed her tongue against his bottom one earning her a part. As soon as he parted his lips she gently started sucking on the bottom one while her tongue was working its way into his mouth.

'God, he tasted so sweet! She squealed.'

Letting go of his lips she opened her mouth as he did his; both delving into each other's mouth's tasting all the goodness that was lost all those years ago.

"Ehem."

Someone had interrupted their kissing session, but it was the most of unlikely characters (again).

"Naruto, my chakra is exhausted, you look and smell like shit, and lets get a move on." Said a very annoyed fox that was watching the whole display. Sasuke blinked a couple of times while Genma's senbon fell out of his mouth, while Kakashi went back to reading his trashy novel. He already knew all this.

"I like this fox a lot more now, Dobe." Smirked an Uchiha

Sori looked over at the smirking Uchiha, "you aren't half bad yourself."

'I'm still going to have to get used to a talking fox though.' Thought an amused bastard.

"Alright, alright Sori, we'll get going now. Hinata found me before I was going to find her, this was bound to happen." Sori snorted at his remark and pounced onto Hinata's shoulder and licked her face, "I've missed you as well, mate of Naruto." Both Naruto and Hinata blushed 3 shades redder than a tomato. Sori smirked at this and commanded in his mind to get moving.

"Hinata-chan, I'll meet you at my apartment in about 45 min. I have a few errands to run. We'll have dinner together this time. I'm sorry I was five years late for it."

Hinata just smiled wickedly and rubbed the area above his crotch and kissed him before scampering off in the direction of the Hyuuga household. 'What the hell does she do to me to make me feel like this.' Naruto felt his bulge go slightly down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sori thought, 'Humans are so predictable and breed like rabbits. Hmm, that sounds lovely right about now too.'

"Alright dobe, I know you can't fit into your old clothes so we have a shop that a friend of ours runs, she can get you in, but be mindful, she's pregnant and on a rampage to kill all men". Naruto thought for a few moments, "Sounds like Ino, but who she is pregnant by-----no way!" Sasuke nodded his head, "Shikamaru roped her in and now she owns her own clothing shop, she's not an active shinobi until the baby is born." Nodding silently, "Hey, I need to get Sori to a Vet, he needs his wounds tended to."

"Sori?" Asked a quizzical Uchiha. "I thought you named him "Gimpy?"

"Yeah I did, but he told me he didn't like it, so I have to call him by his birth name, "Sori" sound cool either way. Lead the way to the Vet hospital, I've never had a pet so I wouldn't know what to do."

Naruto looked a bit sad as he said this, Sasuke knew Naruto could barely afford to feed himself let alone another person. He smiled and patted his kitsune and pointed in the direction of the clinic.

Sasuke and Naruto took to the rooftops but with this time Sori were in his Master's arms snuggled ready for a nice long nap. Naruto knew that this would be an overnight stay but he'll be in good hands with the Inuzuka's. But he would have a word with them before he let his fox stay there. Akamaru was the one who attacked Sori in the first place, Naruto was betting Kiba ran the hospital now. A few well choice words alright. Ha ha, he was going to kick his ass.

Coming across a large scale building, Naruto could hear and smell the canine scent all over it, and surprisingly he could smell Kiba in the front somewhere.

"Ring!"

Sasuke long put away his Anbu mask and Naruto clasped his cloak around him before entering, what they saw before them was a lovely young woman of the Inuzuka Clan and Kiba standing at the counter talking. Looking at who walked in, Kiba blinked twice and looked at the bundle in Naruto's arms. "A fox that has chakra exhaustion and some abrasions." The dog boy rattled off. "Kiba, it's me, Naruto, while pulling the hood from his head." Kiba did a double take and jumped over the counter to knock fists with his old buddy.

"You might want to get a Hyuuga in here, he has a complex chakra circulatory system, and it's damaged from our last fight." Nodding at his answer he called towards the back,

"Kanae! We need your help up here stat." Kanae was a Hyuuga who worked for the Inuzuka clinic with bad cases with her byukuugan and all. A middle aged woman came running up and took a look at the fox slumbering in Naruto's arms.

"Come, we must get him to a table quickly." Said the elder Hyuuga. Nodding silently, Naruto and Sasuke followed them to the back. They found a vacant room and Naruto gently laid the sleeping kit on the table.

Going through a familiar set of seals he'd seen every Hyuuga do she whispered, "Byukuugan." Looking at him for a few minutes she made her hypothesis.

"He has a very high complex circulatory system, it seems to be damaged a little, but we can fix him up good as new, but it will be a couple of days. Will this be okay?" Naruto answered, "Yes, he'll be fine, I trust you. I'll warn you, he will attack if provoked and his name is Sori. He can talk too. And he's not an idiot so don't talk to him like one." Turning on his heel, Naruto and Sasuke exited the building and started their trek to Ino's place.

"Shikamaru! Rub my feet babe, they hurt soooo much!" Whined a blonde kunoichi.

'Che, I was so stupid. Troublesome, but I love her and she is bearing my child.' Shikamaru sighs inwardly.

"I'm coming babe." Shikamaru got up from his lazy boy recliner and sat on their couch Ino spread out and put her feet onto his lap. He began his massage technique he was so good at. Ino moaned and groaned as he rubbed hard and soft spots on her feet. He swore she got off on this, but he'd say nothing about it.

Being very hormonal, he got more sex when she was pregnant then when she wasn't, he wasn't complaining by far. Hearing a knock on the door, Shikamaru paused and looked at Ino who was looking at him curiously. 'Now who would be at our door at this time at night.' Both thought simultaneously.

Shikamaru got up and walked to the front door to see Sasuke and a hooded figure, with a raised brow he opened the door. "Can I help you Uchiha and hooded figure?" Ino had gotten up carefully and was behind her husband looking at the two at their doorstep. From under the hood Ino could see blonde spiked lock dangling and whiskered cheeks.

"Now is that any way to treat an old friend, Shika?" There were only 3 people in the world that called him that, 2 being his old teammates and the other a hyperactive blonde who disappeared five years ago.

"Naruto?" Asked both teammates simultaneously.

Naruto then pulled the hood down to reveal the epitome of the Fourth his Father, himself. Shika was bug eyed with one brow raised and Ino went wide-eyed then somehow got past her husband and glomped Naruto. "When are you due, Ino?" Naruto asked with a smile. "October 10th! Why?"

"You know that's my birthday, right?" Ino let go of him and shied away, "No, I didn't. I'm sorry."

"It's alright, not many knew except Hokage no Jichan. Since I was an orphan. Anyway, that's not why I'm here. I need HUGE favor."

"Anything you want, Naruto."

Naruto opened his cloak to reveal tattered clothing, "I've grown out all my clothes and I've got a date tonight with Hinata-chan." Ino turned around and went for the keys on the table and said "follow me." Complying with the pregnant Ino he followed her inside and down some back downstairs to a glass door. The sign read, "Ino's Clothing store."

"Amazing Ino, I knew you were more fashionable than Sakura-chan." Ino secretly snickered, she knew she was more amazing than forehead girl. Turning on some lights, Naruto could see some racks of men's clothing that looked really cool. About facing, Ino came 3 inches from Naruto and said, "These are all on the house so be careful, when you train, you ruin everything." She said with an exasperated sigh.

Naruto sweat dropped.

He started going through the pants, he just remembered he forgot what his waist size was. He turns around and yells for Ino, she comes over, Naruto blushes a bit and asked her to measure his waist and inseam because he forgot what size he wore. Now it was Ino's turn to blush, he was strikingly handsome now. She pulled out her tape measure and squatted down, "Let's see, you have a 32" waist and your inseam is god your tall, like 33. Smiling goofily he rubbed the back of his head and said his thanks.

He found some jeans that were baggy and some loose, but he wanted wide legged for his leg weights with lots of pockets. After half an hour he built up a suitable wardrobe and changed his rags into one of them for his date tonight.

He picked out a nice burnt orange polo shirt with some low rise khaki pants with some khaki colored low cut doc marten shoes. Ino thought he looked hot. Then she told him to take the clothes he picked out and use the shower upstairs and change into his date clothes.

He needed a new hiti-ate, so she decided to fix it for him and he can pick up his clothes tomorrow. But he had to take a change home with him so he had something to sleep in and wear the next day, but the rest stay at the store since it was so late.

While in the bathroom, Naruto took off the tattered clothes and weights and turned on the shower. He stepped in and let the water wash over his ragged body, damn he was hungry, but damn his body was to die for. He decided to keep his locks in memory of his Father and put lots of conditioner in it so he could brush through it. As he exited the shower he grabbed the nearest towel and wrapped it round his waist. He was a bit thin from malnourishment, but he'll fix that fast. He wiped the mirror as he always did and fingered the necklace from Tsunade. 'Rokudaime' he though. 'I'll surpass them all!'

He toweled off and his hair to the best of his ability, then started to brush through it, found it easy with conditioner. Might have to pick up some of that later. He found some gel spritz and decided to use some. His hair was still everywhere, but it looked good. Then he went about putting on his clothes and weights. Man they were light, 'I'll have to switch them ASAP.' After that he put on his clothes, man he looked good enough to eat. When he stepped out, Ino's mouth dropped and eyes went as wide as dinner saucers. Shika saw this and closed his wife's mouth.

"Do I look alright?" He asked timidly.

"Hell yeah!" Was all he heard from Ino, while the boys just nodded. Sasuke pushed a bouquet of arranged flowers into Naruto's hands, "Good luck."

Naruto headed towards the door and looked over the sleeping village, its good to be home. "Well, here goes nothing." Naruto secured the bundle of flowers under his arm until he arrived at his house with some of his belongings.

What he saw almost made him fall over.

(A/N: You all must hate me right now. Sorry, I wrote this for 5 hours. But there's more in store for our kitsune and his companion.
