Chapter 1

Location: Konoha's gates

8 years have passed since Naruto and Lucy have left Konoha. Naruto finally returns all grown up. Naruto had a full black traditional ninja combat attire with the mask being used as a bandana to cover his horns. The back of the bandana was tied into a hairtie to keep it in place. He had a Katana on his back leaning on his right shoulder (this sword was a token when he was training with Raizo in the ways of the ninja). Naruto had blond spiked hair underneath the bandana Naruto has 3 sets of whiskers on either side of his cheeks. He hadn't known yet, why he had the whiskers. It wasn't told to him, yet. Naruto is traveling with along with a long time companion, Eriko.

Eriko had short red hair that is no longer than her shoulders. Like Naruto, she also has a katana sword on her back. The sword only hangs at the center of her back. She wore a black leather jacket lefted open. She wore a black shirt inside with 2 gun pistols hostered inside the the waistline of her hips inside her blue jean shorts. She also wore black leather fingerless gloves on her hands. Unlike, Naruto she wasn't a Diclonius (she was only Raizo's best student) and so therefore, she has no horns. She seems to be carrying a hunter's rifle on her back with the nozzle pointing up.

Naruto start to speak with enthusiasm.

"So, this is Konoha, one of the elemental nation's biggest villages"

"It sure looks nice" Eriko responded.

Naruto waited a moment to speak again.

"Come on! Let's by at the Hokage's office"

Eriko responded with a nod.

"So, little baby Naruto has finally return to us" the Sandaime Hokage said.

"Oh, yes Hokage-sama! Lucy-sama told me that me and along my friend, Eriko-chan, can live and stay here, maybe at a apartment complex, while we take attendance at the Ninja Academy"

"Very well. Let's take you over there right now" the Old Hokage said.

Minutes later, they all finally reach the Academy. They are now heading to Iruka Umino's classroom

"blah, blah, blah" were the sounds of Iruka's teaching words until the sound of the classroom door opening up, reviling 2 kids and the Hokage.

Iruka spoke out to the class.

"It's seems that we have 2 new students that will be attending at our academy."

"Come on in" Iruka said to Naruto and Eriko as they entered into the classroom.

There were gasps and awes headed to their direction (Eriko, from the guys and Naruto from the girls)

All the sudden that was interrupted when Iruka spoke,

"Alright kids, let's settle down and let them introduce themselves"

Naruto was first to start.

"I am Naruto Uzumaki from the Diclonius clan. I have been trained in the ninja by my sensei, Raizo, who is known to be the best ninja from the Ozunu clan. I do have a special ability, which you people call, Kekkei Genkai but ya know how much I want to tell you but, it's secret"

"then you must come from weak clan then" a brooding Sasuke said with a smartass smirk.

Naruto smirked back, "You're a Uchiha, right?"

"You got that right, don't you ever forget it" Sasuke said being all overcomfident

"We'll see, huh? Naruto said threatening him

"Anyways, please continue on with the introduction if you aren't finish" Iruka said, trying to get back to business.

Naruto nodded as it was Eriko's turn to speak

"I am Eriko Yumi, from the Diclonius clan. Like Naruto here, I was as also train in the arts of the ninja by Raizo-sensei from the Ozunu clan. Unlike Naruto, I don't have a Kekkei Genkai but I do have faith in my own abilities."

"Very good, you two! Let's find you both a seat. " Iruka said as he pointed 2 empty seats next to Hinata and Ino. "You can get both of those seats if you like"

They both nodded as Naruto took the seat next Hinata and Eriko took the seat next to Ino.

"So, I assume you got these two covered, right?" The Hokage asked

"Yes, Hokage-sama" Iruka answered as the Hokage disappeared in swirls of leaves

Iruka then continued on with his boring teaching lecture.

Despite having a long lecture, Hinata couldn't help not staring at Naruto for a long time. Naruto finally caught on to her and looked at her, with an annoyed look.

"Is there a reason for you to stare at me for a long time?" Naruto asked her to get a gasp for a response as she looked away as Naruto sighed at his behavior, when he spoke,

"I'm sorry, it is just, I'm not used to people staring at me for long periods of time"

"I...understand" Hinata said, stuttering, timidly and softly.

Naruto then, could sense her uneasiness in her voice.

"Look, don't take it too personal, okay?" Naruto spoke softly.

After that being said before Hinata could say anything else, the bell rang.
