I'M BACK

'AAHHHH!'

An earsplitting voice was heard, waking Jiraiya up with his hands covering his ears. 'What the hell..? It's only 8 p.m...? Akira! What is it? ' Suddenly, he realized his 5 months pregnant wife wasn't in the bed with him. 'Oh no.. crap' he jumped from the couch and went to the living room.

'Akira! Tsunade!' he called. No answer. Jiraiya begins to panic. He quickly rushed to the living room, and guess what? He clenched his jaw when seeing 3 unidentified people wearing long brownish trench coats with hood covering their face coming from nowhere, entering his house, making his wife screamed like she sees some ghost.

'What. Who? Where?' he asked his wife. 'Jiraiya-kun.. ' Tsunade merely can't speak, truly shocked by the 3 people.

'Sensei..' One of the men makes an effort to speak. 'Who are you?' Jiraiya said, with an anger tone, approaching to his wife's side. All of them unbolt the hood that was covering their face. And guess what?

'AHHHHH!' Both of them, husband and wife screamed in fears. 'GhosT!' they say. 'I ain't no ghost..' one of the man said. 'Sensei.. it's me..' he said. Jiraiya take a closer look to the boy. It was someone familiar. 'I thought you were Arashi!' he said, slapping the boy's head. 'Auch!'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'What if.. he was still short?' Sakura imagining Naruto as short as possible. With a small orange shirt and a small pants, Naruto looks as small as a 10 year old kid! Sakura laugh hard. 'No! No!' she wiped her tears. 'What if.. he's fat? Like chouji?' Sakura was now imagining Naruto was fat, fatter that Chouji himself. With an orange shirt above his stomach and big fat cheek.. Naruto looks like a giant monster! She laughed hard, patting her mattress.

'But.. what if.. he changes his attitude?' Sakura tries to imagine Naruto had change on his fighting spirit, but end up in Naruto.. girly voice Okay, everybody.. today, me, Naruto will be teaching you on how to make instant Ramen..

Sakura laughed hard as she can get. She really not good at imagining things, isn't she?

'Wait.. Wait.. What if.. he grows a beard?' Sakura tries to imagine Naruto having a beard, a one just like the Sandaime. With the spiky hair, and the yellow beard, Naruto looks like the Sandaime himself, only a few correction with the color of eyes and hair, and wearing the Hokage hat... He just look.. like 100 years old! Sakura laughed harder. She holds her stomach. 'Naah.. Nope.. hey, what if.. he grows a mustache?' Sakura imagine that Naruto looks like Mario in Mario and Luigi Games. (Pathetic, isn't it?)

Naruto look weird, wearing a yellow cap and a long yellow mustache on his face. Seeing that, Sakura burst out laughing madly, and end up falling off her bed.

'I.. need a rest..' she said as the laughing stopped and she get up, walking to the door. All the laughing makes her tired. She really feel so eager about Naruto's coming back to Konoha.. But she really don't know what to say when she actually meet him.. It's hard to say.. 'Yup, we both haven't seen each other for almost 7 years, but that doesn't change anything, right?' she thought.. 'It's not that I'm gonna fall for him.. or what, right?' She thought again.. 'But.. what if.. It did happen?' Sakura says to her heart.. 'I really miss him.. I do..'

'Although sometimes he could be a little annoying..' she smiled.. 'I miss him..'

She closes the door and walk on the darkness.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The canopy of stars with their bright twinkling lights appeared like a carpet of jewels and was a beautiful sight to adore as the night crawled by slowly. Sakura sighed. She closed her emerald eyes and feels the sighing of the breeze.. A man that enters her life out of nowhere, and then disappeared, makes her so frustrated, clearly be seen in her mind. Ah.. he's not coming back, he'll never back. He's gone. She had to accept the fact. Well, time goes on and she need to let go, she guess..

Thinking about Sasuke, makes her remember, she hasn't seen Naruto for almost 7 years since he went on a training with jiraiya-sama. She got to admit that she was shocked to find naruto was the son of the Konoha no kiroi senko, the Yondaime. But, it's the truth, and she can accept that. Well, she tried to prevent Naruto from going away, but fails. Naruto can be so stubborn sometimes, and he'll do anything to achieve his mission. That's naruto. But, the weirdest thing is, even Jiraiya-sama didn't know where he went after the training..

--------Flashback--------------------

Sakura put all her focus into curing the rat. Even though it was just a rodent, it didn't mean it would be simple. Nevertheless, about half way through the processes, there was a knock on the Hokage's door. Tsunade look at the figure. Sakura had no time to look up, at least till she heard Tsunade gasped a single name.

" Ji…Jiraiya-kun?" The Hokage whispered. Sakura head jerked up. If he's here then….Naruto! Joy filled her entire body.

" Naruto? Where is he?" she asked, eagerly. That all died though, when she saw the look in the Sannin's eye. He was sad. He lowers his head a bit and then finally looked at Sakura.

" I don't know. About 4 months ago, I woke up, to find naruto, just seeing a note saying 'Gomen ne, Jiraiya-sensei, I have something important to do. Arigatou for everything. Bye..'. I spent months looking for him, before coming back here, but nothing. I… am so very sorry." Jiraiya said.

Sakura looked at the floor. 'Naruto… when are u coming back…?'

--------Flashback Ended-------------

'Naruto' she whispered. She sighed. 'It's my entire fault. My bad.'

' NARUTO, What do you want! Can't you see I'm busy?' This word keeps running trough her mind, as she thinks how mean she was used to Naruto. She was guilty to him. 'Naruto! Don't chan me! Get lost you jackass!' She keeps thinking about that and didn't realize that she broke down in tears.

She looks up on the sky and sighed. The moon was brightly shining, as if it was laughing of her misery. She get up and decide to take a walk downtown.

The panorama that laid before her caught her by surprise. Children were running all over the place, screaming. Young men were either chopping firewood or watching their children plays. Young girls exchanges their shy glances while mothers sat on the steps, hearing gossips and exchanging news. It was nearly a month since she went downtown, sightseeing. Sakura never had the chance to go on a holiday, ever since the last battle. She smiled to herself, thinking she and Naruto used to be like the children, screaming and chasing.. ( well.. the opposite ways.. () she sighed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'After such a long time, you finally come back?' Jiraiya asked. The boy nodded. 'Well, what brings you here, Naruto?' Jiraiya asked. 'Nothing. I'm just feeling like going home. Plus, there's something I want to tell and want to ask you two,' he said to both husband and wife. 'Well, this is your..' he raised his brows as he continue 'how many child do you have, Tsunade-ba-chan?' Naruto grinned, though his question was left to no answer but just blushing Tsunade. '2, including this one,' jiraiya said, pointing to Tsunade big tummy.

'Never thought you will ended up with jiraiya-sensei.. the person you hate the most in past.. ero-sannin.. or whatsoever' Naruto laughed hard, but the laughed was stopped by a slap from his sensei to the back of his head. 'AucH!' 'Syhhh! Akira had just fell asleep!' Tsunade glared. 'Sorry..' Naruto grinned.

'Well, Naruto.. Seriously.. what do you want to talk about?' she asked. 'I'll tell you later, but first.. I wanna introduce you to my friends,' Naruto said, pointing to 2 of his friends that both Jiraiya and Tsunade misunderstood as a man, they were actually a girl and a boy who seems to be likely as the same as Konohamaru's age.. (18)

'This is Ichitaka Tsuna and Ayumi Sawara.' Naruto said, pointing to both people. 'Duozo yoroshiko,' both of them said and bowed. Ichitaka, Ayumi, This is Jiraiya sensei, my former sensei, and this is Tsunade, his wife, or is known as the fifth Hokage,' Naruto said as the husbands and wife bowed.

'We have to go,' Ichitaka said to Naruto, as the guy nodded. 'You both go first. I'll catch u up later.' Naruto said as both of his friends poofed away.

'Actually, I'm thinking of staying here for a moment, as I have something very important to discuss. With both of you. And don't forget to call Kakashi-sensei either. He is required too.' Naruto said. 'Don't wanna have a cup of Ocha, then?' Tsunade inquire, but it was only answered by Naruto shaking his head, no thanks.

' So, I'll see you tomorrow then?' Naruto get up and walks to the door, as he did something. 'Bye,' he said as his body surges with sparks of yellow electricity. A time vortex then encircles him and he disappears, leaving both couples clenching each jaw. 'Is that Hiraishin no Jutsu?' Tsunade finally opened her mouth, asking her husband, whether it is true, the Hiraishin no jutsu, which was invented by the Fourth a.k.a. Uzumaki Arashi. A simple nod from Jiraiya cleared everything. 'He finally did it. He finally mastered the Hiraishin no Jutsu..' Jiraiya said. 'Come to think of it, Naruto positively has changed, isn't he?' Jiraiya smiled to his wife, as she nodded.

'I'm glad he left the village, if this is the fallout,' she said. 'He looks more confident, and reminds me of Arashi,' Jiraiya said, sorrow can be seen from his eyes when he talks about his most darling student, Uzumaki Arashi. 'He sure is. He'll be taking the chair of Hokage some day, and will be just like his father,' she said, smiling as the smile lit up her face.
