Enjoy :)

Disclaimer:I dont own Naruto


Iwagakure no Sato.

"Tsushikage sama!"

A very short balding mad with a nose like a potato faced him.

"Report!"

"Hai! Akuma Inakuri killed himself. It seemed that he didn't want to die in the hands of a kid. The rest of the nuke nin were killed. All the body's were taken to Konoha."

The old Tsushikage fumed.

"What! Who were those kids?"

"One was a chuunin, judging from the vest, he used shadow techniques, I am certain he is from the famed Nara clan. And the other... well, he looked like a genin, Tsushikage sama, but Akuma constantly called him 'long lost son of the blonde bastard"

The kage frowned. Can it be? Konoha kuroi no senko had a child? Impossible...unless they hid him, hid his name...

A sudden through struck him and he grinned in a rather devilish way, making the poor chuunin in front of him shiver.

"Takaki, call the newly appointed jonin sensei's to me, it seems that Iwa will agree to host the upcoming chuunin exams."

Son of the blonde bastard hum? Lets see what you are made of gaki...


The two boys were walking along the road which led to Nami no Kuni. Sure they could have skipped it and find a shorter way, but no...a certain blonde idiot wanted to get some clothes..again.

Shikamaru sighed.

"Tch..mendokuse. Tell me again why do you need clothes?"

The blonde whirled around and stared at the boy incredulously.

"But Shika! The mission is over! And all i have on is black! I cant go back to Konoha like this! If i am going to be the first ever orange hokage-.."

Orange hokage? Where did that come from? Mendokuse...

"-i need orange in my clothes, 'ttebayo!", he yelled, waving his arms around.

Shikamaru sweatdropped. No matter how strong and smart he had gotten, he is such and idiot sometimes...no wait, he is the same idiot, who just got a bit smarter and stronger.

He shivered.

Poor Konoha, they could hardly handle old Naruto, but with the new, improved Naruto...

Mendokuse.

When they reached the shop, Naruto ran there, leaving Shikamaru to sigh and look at the clouds. He missed Konoha, his team, sleeping in the rooftop, with Chouji eating his chips beside him, Yoshino waking him in the morning with a yell, his father...

When Naruto came back he was grinning from ear to ear. The Nara looked at him an eyebrow raised.

Well, at least its not neon orange.

Well, Naruto hand't changed that much, he still had the old attire on, but with a few changes. His arms were wrapped with dark orange ribbons, crisscrossing near his hands and he had an unzipped dark orange sleeveless hoody. All in all, he looked good. The color wasn't such an eyesore anymore.

When Naruto started to jog along the way, Shikamaru stopped him.

"Nani?"

"We should inform hokage sama that we completed the mission, or we might be late, who knows what the elders might do"

His smile fell for a second but returned full force. The dark haired boy blinked, confused.

Naruto made a few hand signs and with a yell of "Kuchiose no jutsu!" he slammed his palm on the ground. A large poof was seen and a small green toad appeared.

Naruto blinked. I have seen ero sennin do this, oh well, lets give it a try.

"Um..."

He took out a spare blank scroll and taking out a brush, he gave it to the other boy, who quickly wrote there and gave it back to Naruto, who scribbled something and quickly sealing it, gave it to the toad.

"Um, can you get this to the hokage, or ero..er Jiraya sama?"

The green toad blinked, bowed his head and disappeared.

"Hope it works... dattebayo"

"Come on, lets get going"

"Hai"


Konohagakure no Sato.

Tsunade was pacing and fro in the hokage tower, nervously biting her fingernails- an nasty habbit she had as a genin. It still surfaced when she was nervous.

"Calm down, hime", came a raspy voice but there was a somewhat happy note to it.

She turned around to face the face of a man with a few wrinkles, two red lines going down his eyes and a lopsided grin plastered on his face.

She growled.

"Jiraya!"

He raised his hands in front of him in a way to protect himself. It was always fun to remember the old times when they were genin under Sarutobi Hiruzen. Truth was that both Tsunade and Jiraya missed it. But no one could turn back the time...

A pop was heard and a poof of smoke appeared on the table, revealing a small green toad, in his mouth a scroll.

Tsunade dashed to him and took the scroll, opening it frantically, making Jiraya sweatdrop a bit.

Why couldn't she care so much for ME? hmph...

He pouted like a child, but wuickly put on his serious face as he peered over her shoulder and read.

"Hokage sama, mission completed, we are returning.

Ne baa-chan, don't worry, when i come there, i'm gona kick the asses of those elders 'ttebayo!"

Jiraya laughed. Tsunade frowned, but her eyes showed nothing but relief.

"Gaki hasn't changed much has he?"

"I feared he would, many things could have happened durning those few months, but..."

"Calm down Tsunade, they will be here soon. By the way, any news of the upcoming chuunin exams?"

A tired sigh.

"Yes, the tsushikage agreed to host the exams..."

She rubbed her temples.

Why did the old fart agree now? When he was against it? True we are in peace, but they still hold a grudge...and Naruto...

"Yosh! Now that we are absolutely sure that the gaki will return, and you are calm, i'm free to do my research again!"

He ducked an angry fist and darted out of the window, leaving a fuming hokage.


While they were walking, Shikamaru was engrossed with the clouds, making Naruto feel a bit weird. He still didn't get what exactly was so fascinating about them. The boy had his hands behind his pineapple like head, as Naruto called him and was walking very slowly, drowsily. If he didn't move, the blonde could have sworn he was sleeping or something.

After walking a few more meters and some unsuccessful attempts at pestering the Nara, Naruto decided to go through his things a bit. Finding the scrolls, he rechecked them. Baa chan will kill him if he didn't return the scroll on fuuinjutsu, even if it did technically belong to him.

That was when he noticed the small cream book Kakashi sensei had given to him with the scroll. Curious, he looked at the cover.

It was written by Jiraya. He wanted to sweatdrop, but stopped himself, when he didn't see the sign marking the book only for adults.

"Tale of the Gutsu ninja"

Hmmm? Well, since Shika is no fun now, i'll just read, maybe its good.

With that he buried his nose in the book, one hand in a pocked. Shikamaru looked over at him and groaned inwardly.

The blonde had no idea that he looked like a certain silver haired lazy jounin.
