Sakura Haruno was sitting in a movie theatre, watching a film staring her favorite actress Yuki Fujikaze. Beside her was her friend Ino, beside Ino was Choji, beside Choji was Shikamaru, and beside Shikamaru was the sand-nin Temari.

The movie depicted the tail of three shinobi and their wise sensei. Sakura had nearly screamed when she noticed the characters shared names with the original team seven, and to her utmost excitment, Yuki was playing her.

Ino was instantly jealous, and had frowned the first fifteen minutes of the movie, but her grouchiness eventually faded, and she was now asking a multitude of questions regarding the movie.

The movie itself was quite the undertaking, unable to use their original film due to security reasons, the director had worked on a shot by shot adaptation for nearly three years. When the movie was finally released, the buzz of excitment was so great, that even shinobi were curious, and so Ino had invited Sakura to watch the film with her team.

"Sakura! Did that really happen?"

"Sakura, I didn't know you could do that!"

"Wow Sakura, the actor playing Naruto sure is cute...guess movies can't be totally accurate after all eh?"

Sakura did her best to ignore her friend. The film was drawing to a close.

"Rainbow energy ball!" The actor playing Naruto yelled as he defeated the film's antagonist.

Sakura was slightly offended by the actor portraying Naruto. Although she too thought he was cute, he just didn't portray Naruto's charm in the right way.

As the credits rolled, Sakura noticed Ino was tearing up.

"Ino? Are you crying!"

Ino's tears were interupted as a video of Yuki rolled.

"Hello citizens of Konohagakure!"

The audience mumbled and gasped.

"I hope you enjoyed the movie, it was inspired by some very close friends of mind from your village!"

The audience continued to talk, gasps and 'I told you sos' echoed throughout the small theatre.

Sakura herself was curious to where this was going.

"Now as princess of the land of spring-time, I'm constantly busy, throw in acting and I have alot on my plate...which is why I'm taking a vacation!"

Sakura scoffed.

'I wish I could just take a vacation whenever I wanted!'

The audience all grumbled at the princess's announcment.

"A vacation to your village!"

The audience roared in approval.

"Thats right, starting october the tenth, I'll be relaxing in your home-town!"

Sakura gasped.

'Naruto's Birthday!'


Naruto had been walking for hours, with Sasuke on his back. His legs were sore as anything, and frankly he just felt filthy. Finding a waterfall nearby, Naruto dropped Sasuke under a tree.

"Stay here, I'm gonna take a bath." Naruto threw off his cloak and his orange clothes, and jumped into the cool water.

He splashed around for a while before letting the slow current of the water relax him into a steady float.

"Ahhhh..." Naruto closed his eyes as he floated on his back.

"Any women nearby?"

Naruto opened his eyes and flipped around, swallowing water.

As he choked, he looked around. There was no one near him, Sasuke was still under his tree, all was silent.

"Damn, just you then kid?"

"Jiraiya!" Naruto yelled, Sasuke told him to stop talking to himself. "Shut up!"

"Good to see you again kid...don't worry we'll talk again soon, but later...I have business in the afterlife."

The voice slowly faded away, and Naruto was left wadeing in the water.

"P-p-pervy-sage?"

Nothing.

"Jiraiya?"

Nothing.

"God-father?"

Still nothing.

Naruto shook his head, Sasuke's chidori must have messed with his head as well as his eyes. He walked out of the water and sat on the sun-warmed grass.

"I must be going mad." He allowed the sun to dry him, and then put his clothes back on. He walked over to Sasuke.

"Ready to go?" Sasuke looked up at Naruto, and scoffed. Naruto beamed his signature smile at him, and lifted the Uchiha up over his shoulder.

"So..." Naruto began to speak as he walked. "Any particular reason you still don't wanna come back?"

Sasuke spat on the ground.

"Your village betrayed and murdered my family..."

Naruto turned his head towards Sasuke.

"Our village Sasuke." Naruto continued to walk, "You know what...this could go alot faster if I were to enter sage mode..."

"Then go ahead."

Naruto shook his head.

"Nah, don't want to risk wasting my chakra...incase you try to escape."

"Naruto, I'm paralyzed...how could I try to escape?"

"Thats the exact question someone who was trying to escape would ask."

"You are such a loser..."

Naruto shook his head and chuckled, he was making good time, in a few hours they would be safely in the village, he was sure Lee and the others had already arrived.


Two guards were chatting lazily at their posts, when they noticed a cloud of dust heading toward the village, fearing an attack they reached for the gate controls. Before the gates shut, a green flash raced into the village, heading straight towards the Hokage's tower.

"Lady Hokage!"

Tsunade was busy researching various medical ninjutsu when a loud voice reached her ears, Rock Lee knocked down her door, holding a passed out Tenten.

"Lady Hokage, please you have to help Tenten."

Tsunade nodded, and walked toward the Kuniochi, after several seconds she gathered the chakra in her hands and began healing Tenten.

"Lee, she is poisoned, you should've taken her straight to the hospital."

Lee was staring at Tenten, he caressed her cheek.

"Yes, but you are the greatest medical ninja in all history, and it was you who healed me...I know inside I made the right choice in bringing her straight to you."

Neji walked in through the broken door.

"Lee, you were supposed to take her to the hospital!" As the two bickered Tsunade continued to heal.

'Wait a minute, the poison was injected along with an anti-antidote! Lee was right taking her to me, any other medic wouldn't have noticed, and in applying the antidote would've killed her!'

Instead of curing the posion, Tsunade cancelled out the Anti-antidote with another poison, then cured that and the remaining poison.

Tenten's eyes slowly opened. Her eyes focused on Lee and she smiled.

"Lee..." She drifted slowly back to sleep.

Lee bent down and kissed her cheek.

"Lady Hokage...will she be okay?"

Tsunade nodded and stood up.

"You were right and bringing her to me Lee...but where is Naruto?" Tsunade's eyes filled with worry when Lee hesitated.

More will come.
