'I've been waiting out here forever...' Sakura thought to herself as she stared out into space. 'How much longer am I gonna have to wait for that idiot to show up? I swear he can be so troublesome some ti...'
"SAKURA-CHAN!" someone practically yelled in her ear.
"Who..." Sakura felt herself being slammed face first into the ground by someone notably bigger then her...she reached for her kunai and had it up against the attackers neck in less then a second. "Who are you and what the hell do you want from me?" Sakura said way to calmly for someone in her situation.
"Hey, Hey take it easy Sakura-chan its just me!"
"And who the hell is 'just me'?" Sakura asked not reconising the voice. Feeling the weight on her back lessen she turned over to face her attacker, still holding the kunai to his neck.
"Sakura-chan that kunai is really sharp"
"You still haven't answered my question, Who the hell ar..." Sakura broke off her question as she started to notice just who her "attacker" was. The person on top of her was strong, muscular...she had gotten that from how easily he had gotten her to the ground. And his hair was wild, out of control...almost like it had never seen a hair brush or sizzors in it's life. His face was sharp, angled, quite handsome really. And he had beatiful blue eyes...where had she seen those eyes before...then she noticed. He had scares on his cheeks almost like...whiskers? wait only one person has whiskers like that...and this definiatly couldn't be..."Nar-Naruto?" Sakura asked bewildered.
"I missed you Sakura-chan" replied Naruto sheepishly.
'It is him...It's really him...who woulda thought...damn' Sakura surveyed her former team mate for a few more moments before realising he was still on top of her...not that she overly minded...'No! What am I thinking...this is Naruto I'm talking about here...sure he may look good but I'm sure he's his same old stupid self.' Sakura convinced herself. " Get off me you baka."
"Huh?...Oh! Gomen Sakura-chan, Gomen!" Naruto yelled pulling himself off sakura and standing up, brushing himself off. "Gomen" he said again solemly, fully expecting to get hit.
"Really you have no manners...I haven't seen you in almost three years and the first thing you do is knock me on the ground" Sakura ranted not really meaning any of it but she was still shocked at how...good looking Naruto was. For a bumbling idiot he came out ok.' OK! He's fuking hot!' yelled inner Sakura.
Wincing at Sakura's comment all Naruto could manage was a another mumbled gomen.
"Ahh Sakuran-san... I see you and Naruto have caught up." Said Jiraiya
"Yeah I guess you could say that Jiraiya-sama, Although I'd say Naruto hasn't improved much since the last I saw him." Sakura stated returning to her senses
"Hmm I think he'll surprise you there Sakura." Jiraiya said a small smile coming to his face.
"Like how?" She asked. The only noticable diffrence was his looks as far as she could tell. Well and height...but that went under looks... right?
"Hmm well no time for explinations right now...me and Naruto here have to see Tsunade and give her a full report on the time we've been gone. Your more then welcome to accompany us if you wish."
"Nani! That old hag! Can't we get something to eat frist ero-sennin!
"No, now shut up and lets go you idoit...the faster we give our report to Tsunade the faster you can get home and eat or catch up with old friends or whatever it is you do."
"Hmph!"
"Ahhh, yes Jiraiya-sama, I think I will come along. I left some paper work at the office that I need to pick up anyway." Sakura said unaffected by the bickering of the two.While she didn't actually leave any work at the office she was curious as to just what her former teammate had been up to for the last three years...she sort of missed the baka...though she wouldn't admit it.
"Paper work?" asked a thourghly confused Naruto. "Why would you have paper work at the Hokage's office Sakura-chan?"
"Because you idiot, I've been working as the Hokage's apprentice for the past three years." Sakura said rather irratated at the stupid question.
"Ohhh...Why?"
"Because unlike you I've been working hard to improve myself these last three years and shes been training me, besides, I needed a job that could work with the training schedual we have...and what better way to make sure that work won't interfere with training by working for your trainer!"
"Makes sense I guess..."
"Of course it does you baka. If it didn't i wouldnt be doing now would I?"
"Alright well lets get going you to... at this rate we wont get there until tommrow." said Jiraiya trying to hurry the two of them along before they could continue their argument any further.
"All right ero-sensei keep you pants on we're going we're going."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tsunade stared at the stack of papers in front of her 'Why did I have to say I'd take care of this myself' she thought bitterly.
knock knock
"Come in." Tsunade said, thankful for any any excuse to not do paperwork.
"Tsunade-sama...Sakura-san Jiraiya-sama and a visitor are here to see you." Stated the dministrative nin posted at her door.
Tsuande sat at her desk and watched as her guests entered the room. Sakura was first followed by Jiraiya and then...was that yondamie!
"Hello Tsunade-baachan"
Tsunade couldn't help but stare as she heard the affectionate nick this really be the small boy she knew?"Na...Naruto-kun"stuttered the fifth Hokage.
"It's been a long trip Tsunade...might we sit down?" Asked Jiraiya bring Tsunade back to her senses.
"Of course." Tsunade said gesturing towards the the chairs.
"So, although Jiraiya and I have been keeping in touch I do not know the details of your traing or the current extent of your abilities, would one of you be willing to enlighten me?"
At this Naruto stood up once again " Of course Tsunade-baachan " at saying this Naruto's features tighting and became stiff his usually smiling face became stotic. This change did not go unoticed by either Tsunade or Sakura but of whom were surprised. Jiraiya however was used to this...over the years his student had discovered just how important being serious was and had learned to control himself when the time came.
"Over the past two and a half years" Naruto continued "Jiraiya-san and I have have traveled throughout the Five nations. During our travels Jiraiya-san taught me a number of jutsu, mostly diffrent elemental jutsus and a few of Yondamies jutsus such as the body flicker.Along with my new jutsus I have completly perfected the Rasengan."
Tsunade was surprised. The body flicker was an extremly dificult jutsu. It required extremly percise chakara control and an extremly fit body, since the jutsu itself puts an extrem amount of stress on the body...it was actually becase of that last fact Jiraiya had never mastered the skill 'never was the most physically fit shinobi...he was more worried more about her body than his own...'
"Also Tsunade-san"
Tsunade looked up, startled out of her thoughts by the honorific she never thought she would hear comming from the blonde who now looked more like his father than ever before. "Yes?"
Naruto glanced over nerversly over at Sakura who just continued to stare."Well it's concerning my...er bloodline ability"
Tsunade blinked at this "Errr what bloodline ability?"
"The one concerning my seperate source of chakara." Naruto hinted, glancing at Sakura yet again.
"Hmm interesting...we will need to talk more of this in private." Tsunade stated.Finally catching on. "As for whats been going on around here, All of your friends have been promoted to chunnin with the exception of Neji and Shikamaru who have both become Jounnin." She said quickly changing the subject.
" So that makes me the only gennin" Naruto asked a little taken aback, knocked out of his serious state.
"Yes but not for long Naruto" Tsunade replied."Seeing as how you've long since past the level of skill required of Chunnin, I can fill out the paper work to have you promoted immeaditly."
At this Naruto smiled sheepishly " Thanks Baachan, but if you dont mind I'm starving." With this naruto ran and jumped out of the window with such speed it took a second for tsunade to realise what happened.'god damnit.'
