Yes, I know my name spelling and some of my grammar sucks. I don't own Naruto. I have no friggen clue why I have to say so…….Tip of the chapter: Plaid shirts and striped pants are rarely a positive fashion statement. Unless, you know, you're into that kind of thing.
Chapter Two
Ramen and Reunions
!#$&()
"Come on out, boy, she's gone." Tsundae said calmly.
"Thanks, Ba-chan!" the blonde haired boy said, appearing seemingly out of nowhere.
"It's amazing how much you've matured, Naruto." Tsundae said sarcastically.
"Thanks, I guess," Naruto said, oblivious to her sarcasm, "Is it really true I look like the Fourth?"
"Yeah. I guess you do." The 58 year old 28 year old looking Hokage said.
"So the three of us, ex-Team Seven, are all apprenticed to Senins?" Naruto asked.
"Yup."
"Hmm. Interesting." Naruto mumbled, "So I trust Sakura-chan has become a younger version of you? A much younger you, of course, that's not hard."
Tsundae glared at him, then calmed herself, knowing it was all in good fun.
"Well, I've held you here for a while. Why don't you go eat or something?" Tsundae said, "My treat. Put it on my tab."
"Madame Tsundae, Ero-sennin hasn't let me eat that much ramen. I've been so deprived of ramen, I'll be twice the size of Choji when I'm done eating. So that could bankrupt you…"Naruto said, taunting the Hokage.
"Just go before I change my mind." Tsundae said dully.
With that Naruto ran out of the building.

Meanwhile
!#$&()
A young lavender haired woman walked down an ally, thinking she heard a small child crying.
"Where are you?" she called, trying to find the child.
"I'm right here! Behind you!" a voice called, but slowly, it changed from a little child's to a grown man's.
"Is this here, Satoshi?" another voice called out from the shadows.
"Yeah. It's that bitch all right." A third voice called, as the three men came out of the shadows.
"Wait. I know you… you're that nasty pervert I pummeled at that club," the woman said, gather chakra to her eyes, getting ready to fight.
"Tendo, activate the traps." Satoshi told the second voice. Tendo made a quick motion
This caused the woman to shriek in pain as her chakra was disrupted.
"I love these traps. Bought them from the Snow Country. They disrupt all chakra, even people that never use it, and to the ones who are really attuned to it, like shinobi, it's painful. Deadly painful. Now that I see your eyes, I can tell that you are a Hyuuga." The first voice said.
"Satome, remember, I get her first." Satoshi said, an evil look in his eyes. Hinata, unable to summon any chakra, could barely move from the pain. It was as if she was thrust back into her first real fight with Neji-nisan. She had sparred him before, but that was a real fight with him not holding back. She still had scars in her body from the blows. Now that same fear and pain was with in her again, and she knew it had only begun.
"Hey, you sorry pieces of crap!" a new voice called out. Everyone looked up to a roof to see a long haired man with a long cape that was draped over, covering most of his body and in a hat. (Think Orochimaru's disguise in the exams, that kind of hat)
"You know, your kind gives this good village a bad name. Really, you all gang up on a woman with these sorry charka disruptor traps. You are all despicable," the man said.
"Would you shut up and go away before you get hurt, dude. You don't know who you're dealing with!" Satome said, bulging his huge muscles. However the man was not intimidated.
"Oh, you've got it all wrong," the man started, causing the men to smirk, "You have no idea who you're dealing with."
The three thugs lost their smiles. Satoshi swung a fist at the man. The man simply dodged and went to the chakra disrupter. He picked up the scroll that empowered it and ripped it to shreds. The young women stopped squirming in pain as she had for the past few minutes and managed to activate a weak Byakugan, lying there, watching the three men unsuccessfully punch and kick. The man looked back at Hinata for a moment and she saw something young, strange, and yet, familiar. The man smiled in relief, apparently, that she was okay, but one of the thugs got lucky and landed a kick to the man's gut.
Then she saw something within this man's chakra coils, it had appeared as if he hadn't been using any at all until this kick. She then saw a burning, orange-red chakra flow through. And then, for her, the world went black.
The next thing Hinata knew, she saw the kind young man's face hovering over hers.
"Those creeps made me angry. I hate it when those scum that call themselves men try and ambush pretty girls that seem completely innocent. They think that prettiness means that that person has no brains. So, I taught them a lesson." The now revealed young man said.
"Wow. You must have been pretty powerful to handle those three. They seemed to be Academy dropouts in their teens, and you seem like a regular villager. But you're not are you?" Hinata said.
"Nope. I was playing with them. At least, until I got kicked in my gut. I'm hungry, so, it didn't feel to good." the young man said, "you want to come to Ichiraku's with me? My treat."
"How do I know you're not another perverted rapist-wannabe?" Hinata said.
"Well, you've got that Byakgan thingie. I've always thought it could see destinies, and fates." the man asked.
"No, but it did show a pleasant aura coming from you, so you can't be that bad. Sure." Hinata said, studying the man's facial features. He looked like he never needed a shave. He had brilliant blue eyes that radiated strength. But what suprised her was the whisker-like markings on his face. She stared at his cheeks while they walked down the road until the man blushed.
"What!" he exclaimed.
"Oh, Kami, you're back!" Hinata said, a smile blazing across her face.
"Why are you talking about my back? I thought you were staring at my face!" the- ah hell, why not- Naruto said.
"Naruto! You're home!" Hinata said, as she gave him a big hug.
"You…are…crushing…me…Hinata…" he said, turning blue.
Hinata realized this, a jumped back, rubbing the back of her neck, a massive sweat drop on her head, and blushing furiously, in true Naruto influenced style.
"Welcome home, Naruto-kun," she said, bowing.
"Thank you, Hinata-chan," Naruto returned, bowing back, "now can we get some ramen? I'm famished!"

"It's been three years, Lee. I don't think he'll ever come back. I'm different than his fan club. I loved him. Dang it! I loved him," Sakura cried, slamming her head back into her arms. Sakura had seen a wanted poster for Sasuke, and started crying soon afterwards. She and the rest of the Genin 12 were at Ichiraku's. Rock Lee, going from a crush to sibling love, all ways did his best to comfort Sakura as best he could, and patted her on the back.
"You'll be okay. Shikamaru's team and I promised. He'll come back," Rock Lee did his best caring tone whisper, "Hey, look it's Hinata, and another person. Do you know him?"
Sakura looked up.
"It's you! I saw you in the Hokage's office! I wasn't delusional! The 4th's ghost!" Sakura said.
"Hi Sakura-chan. Long time. No see!" Naruto said, giving his trademark grin.
Sakura just stared.
"You all don't remember me, do you?"
Sakura and the rest of the crew shook there heads.
"It's me. Naruto."

Bum bum bum…
It took hours to write this. I started at 6:43 PM. It's Now 11:30 PM.
Okay, time for the vote…
These people are in their mid-teens. Hormones normally are raging at this age. Should there be a lot of romance intertwined with the adventure, or just a normal adventure with fluff here and there? Eh? Eh? Eh? Now come on, click that nice blue button. You know, the review one.
BTW, do you want lots of short chapters/drabbles with frequentish updates, or do you want longish chapters with longer, but not by much, updates? And sorry about the long time for this one. I had writer's wall, an enhanced writers block that prevents all creative thought from coming through.
Oh, and how do you spell the eye thingie? Byakugan? Right?
Yadda Yadda Yadda.
Done
Cornpuffs
Update: Pretty much the same as last chapter, and I changed the names of the bad guys for the chapter.
