(How naruto looks now)
CHAPTER 2: Two Years later
The sun shown down on the black clad Naruto walking towards the village hidden in the leaves. Naruto has let his hair grow a little and spiked it, He also got rid of the orange and replaced it with all black. Black scarf, black ninja pants and black vest. The only orange he left in was the line that went around his shoes. Also he visited the land if the village hidden in the whirling tides, The kyuubi suggested it because he could hide out there and learn about his clan. Naruto now posses Wind chakra, Fire chakra and Water chakra. The kyuubi also taught him how to control his chakra so he could use it. Naruto also learned kenjutsu from the scrolls hidden in some of the destroyed buildings. Naruto was still his old cheery self but has learned how to take control of his emotions. He dosen't shout in the middle of a crowd or do stupid stunts anymore.
Naruto sighed as he walked along the path leading to the front gates of konoha. "Hey kid, you alright? you've been sighing a lot lately" Naruto's blue eyes looked forward. "It's just... I'm wondering how people will react to my return. After that stunt Danzo pulled at the land of waves, I don't think any of the council members are on my side" Kyuubi chuckled. "What did I tell you, Danzo was hungry for power and luckily we hid but not before Danzo made us retaliate with cutting him a little" Naruto chuckled and nodded. "So, do you think Grandpa's at the gate waiting" Kyuubi stayed quite for a few seconds before he answered. "I have no idea"
Hokage's POV:
I sighed as I stood next to the village check in with izumo and kotetsu. "Any minute now" I looked at the forest outside the gates. "Umm, Hokage? If you don't mind me asking, who are you waiting for?" Kotetsu asked. I smirked. "Well, He's right there" They both looked to the blonde kid walking towards the gate. "No way, is that..." I nodded. "Yep, That's none other than Naruto Uzumaki"
"Hey gramp's sorry for the wait" Naruto said as he walked up to us with a slight smirk. "No problem, Welcome home" He nodded. "Izumo, Kotetsu" Naruto greeted turning his head to them with a smile. "Yah, Welcome back" I chuckled at the casualness. "Alright, Let's get you to the academy, The graduation exams are a week away" Naruto nodded. "What did you tell my classmates about my absence?" Naruto asked. "I told them that an old family friend wanted to train you for two years" Naruto nodded. "Perfect"
Ino's POV:
I bumped my forehead against Sakura's as we glared at each other. "Shut up forehead! This seat is taken!" I yelled. "Oh yeah, Says who Ino-pig" we locked in a full on power battle with both our hands together and I swiftly let go and planted myself in the seat. "HEY, Not fair!" I smirked back at her. "who said I cared" Sakura was about to protest until the classroom door opened. "Ok everyone, take your seats" Iruka yelled over us all and we followed his command as I sat proudly next to sasuke while sakura glared at me. "Ok class, we have a special guest today" We all looked the the door only to see the hokage walk in. "Hello kids" He said with a warming smile. "HOKAGE!" Most of us were in shock but we snapped out of it when Iruka said "QUIET!" We all sat properly. "Thank you Iruka" Sensei nodded and walked towards his seat. "Anyway, we have a returning student today, you may not recognize him at first but he has change quite a bit. ALRIGHT, YOU CAN COME IN NOW!" The door opened for a third time, this time a blonde character walked in with a black... Everything came into the classroom. He walked to the side of the hokage. "So who recognizes him" I looked at him closely and noticed a distinct feature in his eyes, His blue eyes looked like they had fire in them, Only one person I know that has eye's like that. I raised my hand. "Ino" Iruka said. "It's you isn't it, Naruto" The whole class gasped at my answer. "You have a good eye Ino, as always" Naruto answered. "What tipped you off?" He asked curiously. I pointed to my right eye. "My dad once told me that you could tell who a person was by looking at there eyes. 2 years back, you had this fire that kinda danced in your eyes" I said. "Gosh Ino, you sound like your in love with him" I heard Sakura tease from behind me. I blushed madly, "Yeah right!" I yelled at her. "So any questions?" Sakura was the first to raise her hand. Naruto pointed to her. "What's with the outfit? Are you trying to be as cool as sasuke?!" Sakura asked, almost sounded offended. Naruto chuckled. "Nah, My uncle simply said that this was a better choice of ninja wear" She nodded. Shikamaru was the next one. "Whats with the weird logo on your shoulder? It looks familiar" Naruto smirked.
"It should, Its the logo of the Uzumaki, One of the main clans of konoha" That caught sasuke's attention. "What does that mean?" I asked. "The uzumaki were decedent from asura otsutsuki and were distant blood relatives of the senju's. Back at the beginning of the village, They were on pare with the Uchiha" Naruto smirked. "I don't believe that for a second" sasuke said. Naruto smirked. "Gramp's do you mind?" The hokage nodded. "The uzumaki were a very powerful clan, they did not originate in konoha but the did help a great deal. They originated in the village hidden in the whirling tides. It is true that they were on par with the uchiha's they were attacked one day scattering all the member to different sides of the country. After a while, Uzumaki's started showing up again and now, They are becoming more common" Everyone listened carefully. "SOOO basically, If naruto trains hard enough, He can become on par with the likes of sasuke" The hokage simply chuckled. "I believe that naruto has already passed sasuke in skill" I looked beside me to see that sasuke was glaring at Naruto hard. Same as Sakura, all he did was smirk. I stared at naruto and asked myself. 'how strong has he become?'
