Hinata, Usagi, Hana, Corama, and Momoru strolled out along the path to Konoha gates. Old memories started flooding back to Hinata of her old team. She smiled softly as the trees swayed in the distance as the wind blowed through them. She wondered deeply how they were after the attack many got hurt and Tsunade probably by now was making everyone work twice as hard to rebuild the village. She laughed slightly. Everybody stopped and looked at her. Hinata stopped.

"What? What did I do?" Hinata raised her hands up questionably

"Nothing Hina-chan, nothing" Corama walked past her and smirked

"B-but why were you looking at me like that?" Hinata asked again

"Nothing" the girls chimed and walked past her catching up with Corama

"Momoru?" Hinata looked at him

Momoru sighed softly and walked over to Hinata and threw his arm over her shoulder and continued walking with her, "It's nothing"

"B-b-but…" Hinata pouted

Momoru laughed at her and continued walking with her, "It's ok Hina, It's nothing", the cached up with Corama and the girls

They reached the gates and Hinata glared at Inari and Izumo letting them know exactly who she was.

"Ms. Hyuuga…." Izumo said softly and bowed his head

"Send a message to Kazekage-sama and tell him his friends are here and too meet us at the Hokage's office and tell her that I'm here to see her and tell her not to tell anyone cause it's a secret….ok?" Hinata smiled at them

"Yes Ms. Hyuuga right away" Inari disappeared and went to find the Kazekage first

Inari found the Kazekage in Tsunade's office talking. He knocked.

"Come in" Tsunade's voice boomed, Tsunade looked up from her paper she was holding and Gaara turned around slightly

Inari entered and closed the door behind him and bowed, "Hokage-sama, Kazekage-sama"

"Yes what is it Inari?"

"I have a verbal message for you from Hinata Hyuuga"

"WHAT!!" Tsunade's voice echoed all the way to the sound village

"She's on her way to your office right now with…." Inari was cut off

"With her friends Corama and Momoru Chachume, Hana Sanhi, and Usagi Shojogai. I know them they would stop by my village every year to refill on their supplies. I guess she's coming back now….." Gaara said

"Wait you knew she was alive and never told me!?" Tsunade yelled at him

Gaara opened his eyes as she finished yelling, "Please calm down Tsunade-sama, she swore me to secrecy about her well being and where about. The previous Hokage knew that she was leaving and told her to come back after leaving for 4 years or else she would be put as a missing-nin. Don't you read any old files on the ninjas of your village?"

Tsunade turned to Shizune who was holding TonTon in her hands, "Get Sarutobi-sama's old diaries on the things that went on during his time….NOW!" She yelled making TonTon and Shizune shiver in fear and run straight out the door at the speed of sound.

"You probably have never seen her before and seen her abilities but she has grown very much since she left and she's a very good friend of mine and her friends are just as strong as her and the girls she has traveling with her has the same type of inhuman strength that you have Tsunade and not to mention anger. The boys she has are cousins that have a bloodline very close to the Sharingan very close but it has more advantages. That some off their info that you will need you can find out the rest when she comes" Gaara finished

"We'll see what happens when she comes…." Tsunade said as she folded her hands in front of her face, "We'll see……"

Hinata walked through the village and looked as people fixed up the town ninjas that she pasted eyed her and her friends as they walked through towards the Hokage Tower and some smiled at them as they passed through. She saw Akamaru with Kiba's mother walking around town with her and Hana's dog-nin companion. When they passed by him Akamaru ran straight for her and tackled her to the floor licking her face happily.

Hinata laughed, "It's nice to see you too Akamaru. I missed you very much" she whispered, "Don't tell anyone I'm here boy, ok? I want it to be a secret ok?"

Akamaru nodded his head happily.

Hinata got up and went to her friends and waved good bye to Akamaru and smiled, she walked away again happy to see that someone remembered who she was and missed her.

"What was that about?" Usagi asked

"Nothing just an old friend who has a good sense of smell" Hinata smiled as she looked ahead on the path. Momoru, Corama, Usagi, and Hana just looked at each other and shrugged it off and continued to walk by her side.

They reached the Hokage's office and Hinata stopped right in front the door. She breathed deeply and calmed herself down. She looked at her friends and they nodded reassuringly. She took another deep breath and knocked on the large doors.

"Come in" a voice boomed through the door

Hinata opened the door shakily and the first thing she saw was Gaara smiling at her. Her face lit up and ran in and tackled him with a hug making both of them fall to the ground. Gaara laughed slightly and hugged her back. Hinata smiled and nuzzled his neck then buried her head in his shoulder, "I missed you…."

"I missed you too Hinata-san but can I get please?" Gaara said with a smirk

Hinata blushed at their position and got off of him slowly. The others snickered in the back ground

Hinata straighten herself out and bowed, "Hello Hokage-sama. I'm Hyuuga Hinata, pleasure to meet you. Here's the scroll that Sarutobi sensei gave me before I left just in case I ran into any trouble" she walked over to the desk and handed Tsunade the scroll in her hand, Hinata backed away and went back to the others and stood waiting. Hinata looked nervously as she watched Tsunade read the scroll.

"I see…." Tsunade looked up from the scroll and looked at Hinata, "Well welcome home Hinata I look forward to seeing what you are capable of doing in the field" Tsunade smiled at her warmingly, "As for your friends they will be watched carefully by ANBU for the next two weeks to see if they are trust worthy. If you are deemed trust worthy you will be given a test to see what your skill is and a headband saying that you are now and forever part of this village. Is that understood?"

"Yes Hokage-sama" They bowed and exited

Hinata tied her old head band around her neck as they walked out. 'Home sweet home...'

"So…."Momoru began

"Let's go and get those this you wanted at the flower store" Hana said

"It's called Yamanaka's Flower Shop a girl with blond hair named Ino should be working there, don't let her seduce you" Hinata and the others went their separate ways
