CHAPTER 7: THE BLOND IS BACK Part. 2
"Hurry up you guys" Was scream by the blond boy, just before making a dash towards Ichiraku's.
"HOOOO!, Naruto-kun is burning with passion isn't he Gaara?". Lee asked Gaara in an amazed tone.
".............". Was Gaara's reply.
The blond boy kept running until he arrived at the ramen stand, he was as exited today as the day he first tasted ramen.
But surprisingly some one was there sitting alone eating a single bowl of ramen, Naruto new this person and approach him.
"HEY!, Iruka-sensei, buy me some ramen". He asked like every time he saw Iruka-sensei eating ramen.
"Hey, Naruto, I cant buy you ramen every time, you have your own money now........". Iruka who simple reacted out of reflex notice who he was speaking to.
Naruto you're alright. He thought while letting out a few tears
He didn't said a word after that he simple bent down and hugged the boy,
"Hey Ikruka-sensei what are you doing, come on I'm a grown up ninja now". He said blushing out of embarrassment but still returning Iruka-sensei's hug.
After Iruka released Naruto from his hug, he took a deep breath then.
"You BAKA!". He scream at the boy just before he gave him a hit over the head.
"Hey Iruka-sensai, why did you hit me?." Naruto asked him while sobbing his wound.
"Why you asked Naruto?, well simple here I was worried for you and you suddenly came out of no where and asking me for ramen". Iruka said in sad voice.
Iruka-sensei was worried about me.....he' probably the only one. Maybe he was the one that took me flower...?. A guy taking me flower, that's pretty weird....He sights. but Iruka-sensei would do it. He thought.
"You should have told me when you got out Naruto, the last time I went to see you two ANBU's didn't let me and told me you where in bad shape". Iruka stated in a concern voice.
Looks like the cover up made him worry even more. Naruto thought.
"A don't be sad Iruka-sensei, I just got out today in the morning, if I had gotten out before I would have told you, you now that." Naruto said showing his foxy grin to his sensei.
Ha Naruto you have grown up so much since the day I gave you you're fore head protector. He thought has he gave Naruto one of gentle smiles.
"Very well Naruto, I was worried you've forgotten about me" Iruka said smiling.
"Ha Iruka-sensei you know id never forget you". He said smiling back at him. "Hey pops one Large miso ramen". He yelled at the old man.
As soon has he finish those words a huge bowl of ramen with the works was giving to him by Akane, the old man's daughter.
"Eat up, its on the house" Akane said to him in a gentle voice.
This surprise Naruto, "Hey pops are you sure". He asked the man almost afraid he would change his mind
The man who was cooking turn around and faced Naruto
"Yeah I'm sure, you just got out of the hospital and need to build up you're strength, don't forget my ramen help you beat that Hyuuga kid". The man said while smiling at Naruto.
"Mmmm.... Thanks pops, onee-chan" He said just before he started eating.
Iruka-sensei simply smiled at the scene and was about to eat just as he saw two boys he knew arrived.
"Hi Lee, Gaara". He said waving to the boys.
"Hello Iruka-sensei". Answered Lee, Gaara simple nodded.
The boys stared at Naruto, surprise he didn't wait for them before he started eating, they heard stories about Narutos un natural love for ramen but this is their first time seeing him eat it.
Lee took a seat to Narutos right and Gaaras to Lee's right just staring at the boy, after a few seconds the decided it was better to start eating.
"Small miso and medium chicken" Lee said to the old man.
There oblivious to his surrounding Naruto enjoyed the ramen he hadn't tasted in days. While he was eating the boys got there food and started eating has well, Iruka-sensei who had just finish simple waited for him to finish his.
Minutes past and every one finish their ramen, surprisingly Naruto finish his especial size ramen at the same time Lee finish his small.
"Naruto I have to get going I still have a lot of papers to grade. But before I leave I have some thing I want to tell you". Iruka-sensei said in a serious tone.
Naruto looked at his sensei and nodded.
Iruka cracked a smile. "Don't work you're self to hard ok, you just got out of the hospital, we were worried for you and we don't want to have to go see you in the hospital again. Got that" He said while the old man nodded behind the counter after every word Iruka said.
Iruka standed up and started to walk away when he was stopped by Narutos voice.
"Hey Iruka-sensei don't worry ill be a long time before I'm back there.... and thanks for the flowers you took when you visited me....." He said in a excited voice.
This made Iruka-sensei fall down anime style
"You baka! you're so thick headed, I'm not the one who took you the flowers, there where other people worried about you" He said just before he left.
Naruto, even if you've grown up in a lot of thing you still have a bit when it come to girls.....what made him think I took him flowe any ways?. Iruka thought has he left.
Naruto was left dumb folded at his answered. Other people where worried.......He thought taking out his lower lip.
Naruto stayed and talk with Gaara and Lee about how there where getting along, and Gaaras Situation.
"Well Naruto-kun Gaara is much more in control over his rage than before, Isn't that right?". Lee said looking at Gaara.
"Yes....when I feel I'm losing control, I go to the forest and let my rage on the trees and animals there". Gaara stated.
"That's great Gaara now you wont be alone, you already made a new friend here". Naruto said looking at Lee
Gaara simple nodded at Narutos statement. After that a man appeared next to Naruto
"Uzumaki Naruto, you're wanted at the Hokage's office". A man wearing an ANBU uniform said, the man was tall as Gai, the only thing visible was his hair which was a shade of green, his build was similar to Gai's as well.
Naruto looked at the man, then looked at the sun. It was past seven already, The sun already setting on the horizon.
"Ho crap". He yelled.
"I'm suppose to see Tsunade-obaachan hours ago, shell kill me". He yelled jumping out of his stool.
"I'm sorry guys I have to go I'll se you guys tomorrow, bye". After that he made a wild dash towards the Hokages office.
Every one at Ichiraku's ramen sweat dropped.
"Naruto-kun you're great, even after just getting out of the hospital you got so much energy". Lee said with fire in his eyes.
"............." Gaara simply saw him leave.
"Look at him. My ramen always gives him energy" The old man said.
"That baka I was suppose to take him using a teleporting jutsu, its much faster than running". The ANBU said shaking his head.
After that, the ANBU did a hand seal and went after Naruto, after the man left Gaara and Lee Stood up and started to walk to their respective house.

In Yamanaka flower shop a pink hair girl and blond hair girl exchanged insults.
"Fore head girl" The blond said.
"Ino-pig". The pink hair girl said.
"You just should forget about Sasuke, Sakura" Ino said with a frown on her face.
"What so you'll have him for you're self Ino". Sakura spat back.
"Yeah right, I'm so over that traitor I don't care who he ends up with, there other guys as good if not better than him". Ino said.
"Mm....." Sakura wasn't able to answered back at Ino's words.
She sound serious. It doesn't sound like she's lying just so I'll stop going after Sasuke-kun. She thought while she looked at Ino's eyes.
Sakura you baka, theirs such great guys so close to you and you always ignore them, well I never acknowledged none of them either.. She thought.
"You should get over Sasuke, hell never like you the way you do, and he leaving after you told him you're feeling is the proof he cared more for his revenge and power than you". She said pausing to see her reaction.
Maybe I should helper get over him now that I'm not after Sasuke were not rivals any more we can be friends again, maybe I should nudge her at the right guy, I'm such a good friend, its for her own good after all. She thought giggling a bit.
"You know there's great guys al around here and there's one I know you feel something for". She said smiling making Sakura blush.
"Shut up, Ino-pig(Yeah shut the hell up you pig), I don't fell anything for Naruto, I still like Sasuke-kun". She said mad at Ino.
"I never said you liked Naruto forehead girl, but if that's the first person that came to you're mind then you do like him hahahahaha". Ino said laughing that she fell at her trap.
Amazing I never imagined Naruto would be the one...well he is persistent, maybe that's why you started to liked him forehead girl, I just needed to know who you liked, now I can helped you guys hook up. she thought.
"I-I don't like him Ino I like Sasuke". She said in an unsure voice.
"Maybe, but I think you're stating to look at Naruto in a new light, ho! I get it now that's why you started to buy him flowers didn't you, and visited him.". She said at Sakura.
"I know he's nice, he fought Gaara to save me and he already likes me." She said slightly blushing.
"What he fought that guy for you?" Ino asked in shock.
"Yeah I tried to help Sasuke-kun but ended up needing help my self" She said to her.
"You know now that I think of it maybe I should make a pass at him, he sound like he's becoming such a nice guy, yeah I think I will". Ino said in with an evil smile on her face.
"What!! the hell you will, you wont go near him Ino-pig". Sakura scream at her.
Ha sakura you're so jealous already, but I'm sure you'll get over Sasuke, Naruto already feels something for you and he's not afraid to tell you that's more than Sasuke will ever do. And with my help it's a sure thing. She thought.
"Are you jealous forehead girl?" Ino asked smiling.
"What I'm not jealous, its that you're a bad influence on Naruto-kun" "KUN!!?" She was interrupted by Ino.
"What! that slipped out I didn't mean it" She defended her self.
"Yeah right" Ino said smirking.
After that Sakura turn a round and made her way out of the store, but on her way out she heard.
"Don't be so stubborn, if you like him accepted already, he already like you that's more than Sasuke ever will". A concern Ino said.
Sakura froze after those words by Ino, they were from her heart, she was truly concern for her friend.
Ino's serious, is Sasuke-kun really that bad....., he did made me cry more than once, but I feel so happy being with him, but Naruto I ....told him off more than once...I treated him so....badly some time.....even if I did liked him...would he forgive me for that..... but every time I'm with Naruo I feel so safe I now hell do anything ....to protect me and will keep all his promises and will never leave me.....Sakura thought looking at her reflex ion in the door.
Behind her a blond, looked at her friend, who was debating in her mind.
It looks like you're thinking it seriously Sakura, don't worry ill help in every way I can, but I don't think you'll needed.....oh crap. Her eyes shot open.
I forgot about her......nah she's to shy to do something...isn't she....besides Naruto already likes Sakura.....But Hinata already liked Naruto since a long time.....but she never told him...so she lost her chance......well she hasn't lost it....ho man this can get troublesome If Sakura doesn't do something. She thought thinking of all the problems she can have when her two friends cross that bridge and meet in the middle.
Sakura still looking at her reflex ion, she thought hard about Sasuke and Naruto, but her thought were interrupted by an orange blur passing in front the flower shop.
"Naruto!!" Sakura scream.
"Ino did you see that?, was that Naruto?" She asked in a surprise tone.
"I didn't see anything Sakura" She replied.
After hearing Ino's word she slam the door open and started running the same way the blur passed, but want able to look to far a head because of the people in the streets.
Naruto you baka, if you're ok and you made me worry for nothing ill kill you for that.(Hell yeah you're dead.) She thought while running at full speed.

In the park a lone girl sat in a bench looking around her to see different people living their life.
But couples always caught her attention, she always was drawn to them, and those couples always started a debate in her mind.
I have to tell him.....but what if he says no.....I don't know what ill do if he says it....What if he says he doesn't like me and thinks we shouldn't be friend any more because it would be strange to be close to me......No don't be stupid Hinata, Naruto-kun would say that he's to nice to say those words. She thought with excitement and fear in her heart.
She stood up and started to walk around the park, with no place to be she simply wondered and in a strange twist of fate she found her self near a play ground she remember quite well.
Naruto-kun this is where I saw you for the first time..... you're a hero..... but why did you have to be Sakura's...... She thought with tears in her eyes.
"N-no you're n-not h-her hero" Hinata said to her self in a determine voice, but if any one would hear it would think different for her stutter still was there.
Naruto-kun, why did you have to be so nice to her, why did you have to go after Sasuke, only for her?, Why her.....why her..... she thought.
"Why do you like her?" She screamed out loud.
After she notice what she did she blush out of embarrassment, she crouch down started to write on the ground and mumble.
"Why?"
"Because you're to shy" A voice said behind her. This made her jump up in surprise, she turn around and saw the person who said that.
"Kurenai-sensei?" She said in a low voice.
"W-what are y-you d-doing h-here?" She asked looking at the ground.
"I came to train a bit for tomorrows mission. But I saw you and came to say hello, but I wasn't expecting to be greeted by a scream" Kurenai said to her student.
"G-gomen I-is t-that....I y-you see...I..." Hinata could explain her out burst to her sensei.
Kurenai was a little disappointed at her student, she thought she was doing progress on the blond issues, but with a few visits by Sakura and a few flowers, she's gone back to square one.
"Like I said Hinata, that's the only thing standing between you and telling Naruto what you feel for him". Kurenai said to her.
"W-what I d-don't feel a-any t-thing...." A finger on her lips stopped her excuse.
"Hinata I know you like him, since the chuuning exam in fact. But why wont you tell him?, you've talked to him before I saw you talking to him before the main matches" Kurenai asked Hinata.
"Its n-not the s-same, I t-tried to t-tell him then b-but..." She stopped and looked at the ground.
"Every t-time I t-try to tell him I t-think o-of Sakura a-and all the t-times his a-asker out" She said in a low voice.
"I'm n-not as p-pretty has s-she, and Naruto-kun a-already l-likes her, I-I thought I-I c-could tell him w-when he w-woke u-up, but Sakura s-started t-to go visit h-him and take h-him f-flowers" She said in a sad voice.
"So because of a few flowers you're going to let her keep him?" Kurenai said.
"............" Hinata didn't answered her words.
"B-but she's p-prettier than m-me" Hinata said nervously.
"Don't say that, you're as cute as she, you have a great creamy skin, lovely blue hair and a beautiful smile...I just whish you showed it to him" Kurenai said in gentle and reassuring voice like a mother only could.
"...He a-already l-likes h-her" She replied.
"He only has a crush on her, and you don't know if he still has it, do you?" She asked her sudden.
"N-no...." Hinata Said.
"That's right you don know if he still likes her, tell me how many time he asked her out?". She asked
"A l-lot". Hinata replied.
"How many time she's said yes?" She asked again.
"N-none". A more confident voice was heard.
"That's right Hinata, she's been mean to Naruto, and you haven't, every guy can only take so much before moving on, and I think that when he went after Sasuke, he knew that he never would be with her". She said to give confidence to her student.
Well you don't know with that boy, he rarely give up, I just hope he gave up on Sakura....for you're sake Hinata.... She thought.
Kurenai-sensei is right.....Sakura has been to mean to Naruto-kun because of what she fells for Sasuke, I can tell him.....cant I?....No don't say that be strong Hinata be strong.... She thought.
"Hinata I know you'll do it, and what ever happens be happy you did it, I my self was in a similar situation but because I didn't say anything to the boy I liked I lost my chance and know...I'm sorry I didn't do anything about it...." Kurenai said in a sad voice.
"I-is that s-so? sensei?" Hinata asked, her sensei simply nodded, smiling at her.
Kurenai-sensei was shy like me?, that cant be, she liked a boy and didn't told him and now, she's sorry she didn't.....No....I don't want to be sorry I never told Naruto-kun the way I fell, I want to tell him, I want him to know the way I feel....id be happy if he only knew...... She thought.
"Hinata do you want some ice cream?" Her sensei asked to relax her a bit.
"Y-yes Kurenai-sensei I-I l-liked t-that, t-thank y-you" She answered.
The two girls went to an ice cream store not so far from the playground they were at, Kurenai went in to buy the ice cream while, Hinata stayed out side looking in from the window.
I wonder if what Kurenai-sensei said about me being pretty is true,. She thought while looking at her reflex ion in the store window.
Naruto-kun ill tell you when you wake up...I will...no I cant.....no be strong Hinata...be strong....ill tell him no matter what....As she thought of that while looking at her reflex ion in the window a group of people started to pass pushing her and shoving her to get thru.
Hinata was getting push all around , the only thing she could see was the window and the reflex ion of every one who was passing. But while she was focusing and wishing that her sensei would hurry up, some one wearing orange ran pass the crowd, Hinata who was seeing inside the store and not at the reflex ion couldn't see the persons face only the color the clothes he wore had.
What Naruto-kun?....She thought.
No it cant be...can it....he's still in the hospital....She thought but before her mind made a decision if it was him or not she made a dash pushing every one out of her way, something she had never done before.
She had lost sight of the person but she knew the way he was going.
Naruto-kun is that you.......I hope its you.....She thought while she made a dash toward the person.

Three Genins where running today on the streets of Konoha, a blond one running for his life, hoping it would be spared.
O man she's going to kill me. He thought while running not paying attention on the streets he was taking he's fear only push him to keep running towards the hokage office.
Two girls a pink and a blue hair one running, each took their own road, which each one choose for her self but unknowing for the it had the same reason, a slight light of hope and desire, that's the only reason they where running like never before.
The hope that he is the one, the one they desire to see once more.
Naruto, if you woke up and didn't tell me, ill kill you, for making me worry. The pink hair one thought.
Naruto-kun...is that really you...please let it be you.... The blue hair one thought.
Naruto ran to the Hokages office not thinking on how to get there only on getting there as quickly as possible.
"Damn it, dead end. I must have taken a wrong turn, Tsunade-obaachan is going to kill me for sure". He said cursing his sense of direction un aware he was being chase by two kunoichis.
The two girls where a few blocks away from Naruto the only needed to take a turn each one to see him.
Naruto was trying to think of what to do, he was completely lost he never was in this part of konoha before.
"Where am I? I cant even see the Hokages office from here, I can only see this damn building blocking my way" He said to himself but that last part insulting the building for being there.
"Hey kid". Was heard from behind him.
"Hu?. Ho you the guy that gave me the message. what do you want?". Naruro said a little annoyed.
"I was suppose to take you there using a jutsu kid, it was faster and you would had made a cool entrance". The man said in an exited voice.
Naruto was surprise that an ANBU would be so exited in a simple teleporting jutsu, but he knew he had a point, it would be faster, cooler? He wasn't sure about that he had to see it first, he didn't notice it before but the man's mask was different from any other ANBU, it had no animal only the leaf symbol on its fore head, the eyes and a few leave shape patterns painted on his left side.
It, it looks a lot like the one Haku used..... He thought
Naruto Gasp he juts had remember one of Iruka-sensei's lecture and with the memories he had about Haku he put two and two together.
"You're no ANBU you're a Hunter-nin" Naruto yelled at the man.
"Well half right, I'm a Hunter-nin, especial S-class criminal unit, but I fall into the ANBU category even if I can order them around hahahhahaha, ops wait I should had said I hunt S-class criminals that's classified....now I have to kill you..." He said that last part in a sad tone.
"What?! wait I wont tell any one I swear" This day gets getting worse. He thought while he took a step backwards.
"Really? ok then" The man simply replied.
Narutos sweat drops That was easy. He thought
"Now lets go then" The man said. Grabbing Narutos shoulder.
"Okay but hurry up I'm in big trouble already" Naruto replied.
The man simply nodded. And made the proper seals.
"THRESHOLD NO JUTSU"
As the man finish those words a circle of fire surrounded them the flame cover them in less then a second. Naruto was afraid he couldn't see the streets any more only the flames that form a cocoon around them .
As fast as the fire appeared it banish, only leaving some ash and smoke, strangely nothing was burn.
As the last of the ash feel to the ground a girl made appeared from one of the roads that lead to this dead end.
"What? dead end!!, damn it I was sure It was him.....I was so sure...." The girl said to her self looking around the dead end.
"What's that?" She said as she heard some body running towards her, could it be him. She thought waiting for the person to get there.
As the person got close she was able to tell who it was.
Hinata?. She asked her self.
Hinata arrived gasping for air after running like she never did before, and just to find a girl she really didn't want to see right now. She gave a small disappointed look at Sakura.
What? I only followed Sakura?, but how?. could I swear I saw Naruto-kun on the window, no he must be around here. She thought looking around ignoring Sakura.
I wonder if Hinata saw Naruto too, if she saw him too then it really was him running thru the streets, yeah that will clear this . She thought getting close to Hinata.
"Byakugan" Hinata said startling Sakura.
No there's nobody else around here, only a few cats wait who's that....Mm...that's just the Konohamaru corps.....She sights....I wanted it to be him....She thought just before she deactivated her Byakugan.
"Umm...Hinata what's wrong?....You look worried...." She asked hoping the answered would be the blond.
I cant tell her I mistook her for Naruto-kun, she would make fun of my mistake. She thought playing with her fingers.
"I j-just s-saw you un in a-a h-hurry and t-thought you w-were in trouble" She said to Sakura.
What that's all?, I man I'm going crazy I'm seeing Naruto every were(You're going insane you now that). She thought.
"O no Hinata I was just.....training a little bit I haven't had a good exercise like this in a while... "She said putting a fake smile.
She's lying. Hinata thought. "W-well if e-everything I-is ok, ill b-be going Sakura, s-se you l-later". She said turning around and walking away.
"Bye Hinata" Man this day was strange.....She thought as she saw Hinata leave.

"Where the hell is he" A blond women said hitting her desk.
"I don't know Hokake-sama". A gray hair jouning reading an orange book said.
"Kakashi would you at least put that repulsive thing away when you're talking to me". Tsunade said in an angry voice.
"Mm.... Yes Hokage-sama". She said has he put the book in his pouch.
As they stared at each other one with angry eyes the other with a lazy eye simply staring back, that actually made her madder, the sight of such uninterested eye. Just about when she was about to scream again at him, the door started to open and a white hair old man walk in.
"Hey how have you two been". He said in an extremely happy voice.
After hearing those word Tsunades eyed got smaller, her lips frowned and a vein in her fore head stated to pulse.
"About time you're here, Kakashi even got here before you, and I had to send some one after Naruto". She said.
"Is that so?, well I'm sure he'll be here any moment now so relax Tsunade". He said in a happy tone.
"Why are you so calm?, and why are you so damn late?" She asked.
"Ha I'm sorry I was doing some data gathering and I lost track of time: Kyahahaha" He said with a perverted tone.
This caught both of their attention.
That pervert I should make it illegal for peeping and forbid his books here. She thought with disgust.
Oh.. maybe he'll release a new volume next, I cant wait this one is great and I'm hopping it turns out the way I think. Kakashi thought.
"Yo Kakashi did you liked my last book?". Jiraiya asked.
"Ho yes Jiraiya-sama, that cliff hanger was great I cant wait to see what the maid says after she's asked such question..." They freely spoke about the books.
Those perverts how can they talk about that in the presence of a lady. She thought making here even more upset than before.
"Shut up you two!" She screamed slamming her fist at her desk breaking it in half.
This cause the two men to sweat drop and shut them up.
They stayed there quiet for a minutes afraid of evening moving, for Tsunades wrath was known by both and none wanted to feel it again.
Suddenly In the middle of the room a fire started to burn.
Every one new who was arriving.
About time. Tsunade thought.
Man he's to much of a show of for my taste. Jiraiya thought.
I wonder when the new volume of make out violence, comes out, ill ask him later. Kakashi thought ignoring the fire in the room.
The fire started to fade and a figure stud in the middle of the flames, it was the Hunter-nin, and at sitting at his feet a dazed Naruto.
"Its about time" Tsunade said
"Gomen, Hokage-sama, but I'm sure you didn't call me back from my mission just to bring you this kid?" He asked at a bare conscience Naruto.
"Yes I did" She said in a calm voice.
"What you cant be serious......" He shut up after realizing what he just did.
Tsunade walk up and pull's him down so they would be at eye level. "Are you questioning me? The hokage. One of the three legendary sennin?". She said with a smirk on her face.
"Gomen, Hokage-sama, is that I was surprise you only asked me to come here because of this boy". He said in a nervous town.
"Well... not just him but still.... I'm tired so just listen at you're new mission, you are to follow Naruto around, keep and eye on him, be sure nothing happens to him" She said in a cold voice.
"What kind of danger is this boy in?" He asked, he couldn't imagine this small boy to be in such danger that he was needed to protect him.
"Id be faster which one his not....but I guess you need to now...." She looked at Naruto just before starting, he was still out of it.
"First: He is the kyubis container and the seal has weaken, you're job is to stop the kyubis escape if the need comes." Ha so his the container, interesting. The man simply nods.
"Second: Orochimaru has started to look at Naruto has a threat, he might try something funny". The man simply nods again.
"Three: The Akatsuki are after Naruto, they have tried to kidnap him before" This last point made the man smile.
"Which member have tried" He asked with a smile on his face.
Tsunade brows narrowed.
"Kisame of hidden Mist and his partner Itachi of hidden leaf" This made the man smile.
Yes! this could actually be worth being called back. He thought while smiling.
"Yes I happily accept the job, but why do you needed me? Why cant his sensei keep an eye on him?" He asked.
"His sensei is Kakashi, but he cant look after Naruto 24/7, he has another job for the time being, and about that smile its no guaranteed he'll come after him while you're guarding him got it?" She said to the nin.
So Kakashi-kun is his sensei, Mm... that doesn't matter, he was a good ANBU but I don't imagine him as a sensei. He thought looking at Kakashi out of the corner of his eye. This is better I hate being after his trail, it better when he come to me. He thought.
"When does the mission start?" He asked.
"Tomorrow. Today get to revisit Konoha its been years since you left".
"Yes" With that he banish in a puff of smoke.
"That bastard he didn't even said hi" Jiraiya said in a mad voice.
"He was on a mission and he takes the seriously unlike you.." She said back at him.
"Even so, he could have said hi, for old time sakes" Kakashi said backing up Jiraiya.
"You two Kakashi?...you two are a bunch of softies" She said mocking them.
"Where's mi ramen" A groggy Naruto said.
"You finally woke up kid, is about time" Jiraiya said to him
"Ha! ero-sennin where's that guy wearing the mask? that jutsu was so cool!" He yelled looking around, he didn't saw him, but he did saw his sensei which he hasn't seen since he came out of the hospital.
"Yo Naruto!" Was all he said.
"Kakashi-sensei, long time no see." He said back at his sensei.
"Can we hurry up with the mushy stuff I'm really tired, first damn day I didn't have a lot of paper work and I'm stuck in this office waiting for you Naruto" She said in a mad tone.
"I'm sorry Tsunade-Obaachan I lost track of time and when I tried to get here I got lost."
He lost track of time and gets lost....Damn you Kakashi, damn you Jiraiya I just hope he doesn't become a pervert...She thought glaring at them, the men sweat dropped wondering what they did to deserved that glare.
"Ok Naruto listen carefully" He simply nodded, "After you leave here you must go straight to you're house, no other place I already order to deliver ramen to you're house, No body must know you trained to control the extra charka kyubi gave you, and finally when asked you must say you left the hospital today in the afternoon got it" She said looking at the boy.
"Mm.... Tsunade-Obaachan, Lee, Gaara and Iruka-sensei saw me today.." He said care free.
"What?....mm...I got it just tell them you left with out any one knowing...and last tomorrow you start to train again with you're team" She said this comment made Naruto react to the image.
"What Sasuke is just going to be let free just like that?" He asked.
"Of course not he left the village and must be punish, but he didn't do it under normal circumstances" she said to him.
"Normal circumstances my ass..." He mumble.
"But he wont be there tomorrow he still has long journey before he is accepted back in Konoha" She said to him.
"Yeah Naruto, don't forget the important thing is you kicked is ass" Jiraiya said to Naruto.
"Well Naruto, you should go get some rest tomorrow we can talk about it after training" Kakashi said to his student.
"OK Kakashi-sensei but I want to hear everything" He said surprising every one in the room.
The three were surprise at Naruto's calm and serious words. After saying that said his good byes to the three, thinking two thing has he leaves.
Man that Sasuke every time he gets a break....abnormal circumstances......and that was all the fuss, she sent a hunter after me just for a five minutes meeting....He pondered those two issues.
"Did you saw what I told you? Was it worth the wait?" Jiraiya asked.
"Yes and it was worth it" Tsunade said.
"It looks like he's a little more mature" Kakashi said
Tsunade smile. "Yeah it does look like he grew up a bit after that fight" She said in a happy voice.
"Jiraiya I think he's ready, we should tell him...." Tsunade said proud of the boys growth.
"Are you sure he just came back from and A-class mission, he need time to rest" Kakashi said interrupting Tsunades words.
"He's got ha point, and as a medic you know the body and mind even with a demon healing factor doesn't recover has easily from a mission like that" Jiraiya said backing him up.
"Very well, we will tell him in two month, that will be more than enough time, but until then Kakashi you will be his sensei as usual, and you Jiraiya you will go gather info on our old teammate, got it". She said to the men, they simply nodded at the task given to them.
"Well then leave I still have work to do". With those word the two men left, leaving Tsunade alone in her office.
But first I need a new desk. She thought
"AOBA!!" she screamed.
A man wearing sun glasses, walked into the office.
"Yes, Hokage-sama" The man said.
"Bring me a new desk, now" She ordered.
"What? but were can I get at this hour?, Hokage-sama" The man nervously replied.
"I don't now or care just get me one" She replied in a loud voice.
The man sweats dropped. "Yes....." was all he said before leaving.

"Man it feels good to be home" Naruto said to himself opening his apartment door.
He walks inside his apartment , he sights in relaxation and feels that safeness only you're house can provide.
Just like I left it, I loved this place it's the only thing that's mine in this village. He thought as he sat in is couch.
He sat there thinking of what has happened these last weeks and what can happened in the future.
Man. I've been in nothing but fights and training these last weeks, first to find Tsunade-Obaachan, then the fight with Kabuto that almost killed me, then I get here and I work hard in helping the village, then Sasuke leaves, I have to go after him I fight that bone guy, then I find Sasuke and I fought him.... He pauses at that point.
He left because of abnormal circumstances.....she must have meant the seal Orochimaru gave him...she doesn't know that I found out of the seal.....Having a seal is not an excuse...
Why did you had to be so power hungry......?. He thought sighting.
"A man its already 9 o'clock?, man this day didn't go as I hoped, but it was fun, I saw fuzzy brow, Gaara, Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, Obaa-chan and that Hunter-nin" He was so cool He said to himself.
I really wanted to go see the guys at the hospital I wonder if there doing ok?. I wonder how that lazy ninja is doing?, Konohamaru and the guys?.....a man I wanted to do so much, but its my fault for hitting Lee and Gaara that took a lot of my time, and the ramen... well its my fault, I always have tomorrow....time for bed... He thought jumping out of his couch and going to his room. He stopped at just before going inside.
Tomorrow I get see Sakura-chan ......He thought then went into his room.

Pink hair girl walks out of the bathroom, her body covered with a towel, she sit in front of one of her mirror, and starts to brush her wet hair.
I wonder why does Kakashi-sensei want to see me tomorrow in the bridge?. She sight Maybe he'll tell me I'm going to be with a new team. With out Sasuke-kun or Naruto around I was sure it was going to happened. She thought still brushing her hair.
Naruto.....do I feel something for you?......I think so... maybe... I think I do...but what do I do, I'm so confuse...... I love Sasuke-kun.....but why was I so excited and happy when I thought I saw you today?....I don't know... every one has told me that I have a crush on Sasuke-kun...if that's a crush...what do I feel for you.......She thought looking at her self in the mirror.
"I have to tell him, but what will he say, he always asked me out and said he liked me, but when I went out on a date with him it was only so we could talk about Sasuke-kun, even then he tried to make me happy reassuring me that Sasuke-kun would be al right......" She said to her reflex ion
I have to tell him...but...I'm not sure anymore he'll say it back, he hasn't asked me out or said he like me since he came back with Tsunade-sama......I was so mean to him, I treated him so he forgive me?.....She thought looking straight at her own green eyes.

A blue hair pale girl wearing a kimono sat in front of a tall man and to her right sat a smaller girl with long black hair.
"Hinata, Hanabi I have call you to tell you that I am leaving on a mission".
This surprise the two girls.
"But Otoo-san you never go on missions" The smaller girl said.
"Yes, I'm aware of this, but this mission is one I wish to do, for the sake of our village and family, I would be lying if I tell you I'm not slightly afraid , but fear is no excuse for not doing what one desires". He said to his daughters.
I'm slightly afraid, but Fear is no excuse.....Hinata was surprise at his fathers words one which she never head him say.
Otoo-san is so cool. But if he's nervous this must be a very important mission. Hanabi thought.
After those words he stood up and look at his daughters.
"Hanabi, Hinata be strong while I'm away, don't give to you're fears, and honor our clan, remember the hyuuga's are the strongest in Konoha". He said just before he left the room.
"Hey Onee-chan, I'm going to bed now, if you want to train with me, I'll be In the south training hall at 5 in the morning, ok, goodnight". She said before standing up and going to her room.
Hinata stayed there sitting looking at her family symbol on the wall in front of her.
Be strong...don't let fear stop you....I have to be like that....I cant let my fears beat me....Otoo-san and Kurenai-sensei are right, I cant let my fears control me... She thought standing up.
"fear wont stop me not any more" She said to herself.
I will tell him....I wont let my fear stop me any more, If I don't ill regret it..... I will take Kurenai-senseis and Otoo-san advise, I will be strong I wont let my fear. I will tell him......maybe......She thought.
END CHAPTER 7
-Q&A: Have any questions about my storie send them to my mail
Q&A: If any one wondered why Hinata and Sakura didn't meet while chasing the boy, the reason is each took a different way trying to intercept him more than catching up to him, he ran in a straight line they didn't.
A/N: I need I new beta my old one cant beta anymore, I proof read this one my self but my spelling and grammar aren't that good, and it slows me down way to much to check each chapter a couple of times, right now I still have two chapter waiting in my computer for some one to beta read them. So if any one is interested tell me.
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, and about the pairing it will be..........ha I still haven't made up my mind its pretty difficult, I write a chapter and is feeling Naru/Hina then I write a new one and it feel like a Naru/Saku, until I make up my mind enjoy the story and character interaction.
Don't forget the most timportant thing to do, is to rea and review
