"Jutsu!"
"Demon / Monsters/Summon/ Angry God or Titans"
"Wait a minute," Thalia said. She got off the wolf's back—the wolf gave Naruto a slight bow before he disappeared in a puff of smoke—and she walked near Naruto. "So, we are in a completely different dimension," She pointed at Konoha's gate, "and this is your former home."
"Yes," Naruto nodded.
"Then, teleport us back to our dimension."
"It's not simple."
"What do you mean?"
Naruto took a deep breath. "The teleportation is easy, but opening gate of another dimension isn't easy," he said. "It needs more power to open and sustain a gate."
"Then, how can you teleport so easily your ka-mu—"
"Kamui," Daichi said as he helped her to pronounce the correct name of the dimension.
"Yes, Ka-mu-i dimension?" she completed her question.
Naruto said, "Because Kamui dimension is linked with my Sharingan while this dimension is completely separate space."
"Then, how did this happen?" she asked again. "Why are we in this dimension?"
He tapped his chin in thought. "Oh!"
"What?"
"We are in the Element Nation because of my fault," he said, looking at both Thalia and Daichi. "I forgot to stop the time - technique before using Kamui."
"Huh?"
"Kamui is a time-space technique," he explained. "It must have disturbed by my other technique."
"So, we're stuck here forever."
"Not really, I can open another gate, but only at midnight or early morning."
"Why?" she asked. She couldn't understand his reason.
"Because at midnight, my grand-uncle Taskuyomi is in his full power while at early morning, my grandmother Amaterasu is in her peak of her power," he said. "So, I can borrow one of their powers to open a dimension gate."
"It means we'll have to wait for midnight," Daichi concluded. "Well, there goes our chance for completing the quest."
Naruto said with realization, "Oh, shit!"
"What are you not telling me?" Thalia demanded.
Naruto said, "Well, there is a small time difference between two dimensions."
"How much smaller?"
"Flow of time is around five times slower in the Element Nation."
Thalia's opened mouth in shock. "You mean..."
"Now, it's already noon," Daichi said, looking at the sun. "We'll have to wait twelve hours for midnight. And twelve multiply by five is...Sixty hours"
"Two and a half days," Naruto said.
"We can't reach in time for the quest," Thalia said, sadly.
Naruto placed his hand on her should. "It's up to others to complete the quest."
Thalia nodded her head.
"We have twelve hours," Daichi said. "Let's check out Konoha's condition."
Naruto and Thalia agreed to his suggestion.
Naruto used the Camouflage Technique and made him and others invisible to avoid unnecessary eyes of Konoha ninjas. They moved closer to the gate to see the immortal Chunin, Kotetsu and Izumo were guarding the gate.
Kotetsu had long, spiky, black hair and dark eyes while his partner, Izumo had brown hair, and dark eyes. They dressed in standard attire of a Konoha Shinobi complete with a forehead protector and a flak jacket.
"They are still alive," Naruto muttered under his breath.
Thalia asked, "Who are they?"
"The immortal Chunin," he told her. "The one who has black hair, his name is Kotetsu and next to him is Izumo."
"Immortal?"
"They aren't immortal. It's their nickname. They never seem to get promoted or demoted. They're just… there, whether you like it or not."
"Man, this job is so boring," Kotetsu complained.
"I'm glad you think it's boring. I think this is the most dangerous job of all," Izumo said.
"No, it's not."
"For starters, we're on a main road despite the fact that we're a hidden village. I mean we get tourists for Kami sakes. Secondly, the doors are always open and we just let anyone through."
Thalia didn't understand what they were saying to each other because they were speaking in Japanese.
"Whatever," Kotetsu said. "But today is a special day."
"Yes. Konoha is hosting Chunin exam again," Izumo said.
"I can't believe it is over three and half years since the end of the fourth Shinobi World War."
"I've heard enough," Naruto said as he snapped his fingers. A teleportation gate opened under their feet and they disappeared.

The gate opened up far away from Konoha. Naruto, Thalia and Daichi came out from it
"How is this possible?" Daichi said.
"What happened?" Thalia asked, looking at both boys. "What were they talking?"
"Well, they were talking the fourth Shinobi war has ended three and half years ago," Naruto told her.
Daichi said, "Which is impossible because it has been four years we are in another dimension. We had left this dimension right after the fourth Shinobi war ended."
"I means," Naruto said, "time difference between the two dimensions is reducing."
"It's a good thing, right?" Thalia asked.
"Maybe," Naruto answered. "But it's too early to say anything about it."
"So, we can reach in time to complete the quest, right?"
"Yes."
"So what now?" she asked. "We have twelve hours to pass."
"Do you want to see Konoha?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, but what about language?" she said. "I don't know Japanese. I'll feel awkward between all Japanese speaking people."
Naruto said, "I can teach you Japanese in one minute. I know one technique that I've learned from my father's library."
"Really?"
"Yes," he said. "But you have to do one thing."
"What is it?"
"A French kiss."
"What?" She flushed. "Are you kidding right?"
"Not really. To transfer the knowledge, we need to touch our tongue. It's only way."
"Ok." Her face was red.
Naruto smiled, bringing his lips towards Thalia's and attaching them. Slowly, but with intense passion he began to kiss her. She parted her lips to allow him to enter. Their tongues duel in unison. She felt dazed, as if a fog had settled over her brain. Her head became heavy.
After about a minute later, they parted away from each other.
"How are you feeling?" Naruto asked.
"A small headache," Thalia replied.
Naruto placed his hand on her forehead as it glowed in greenish coloured.
"Thank you," she said.
"Was a French kiss only option to transfer the knowledge?" Daichi asked Naruto in Japanese.
"Not really, there is another method, but I like this," Naruto told him in Japanese.
"You know I can now understand you," Thalia said in Japanese.
"Well, I know," Naruto said with a small smile. "Now, we need new clothes to blend in people."
"Well, I've some old ninja cloths in my seals, but they wouldn't fit you, Master," Daichi said. He looked at Thalia. "And I don't have kunoichi outfit."
"Don't worry, I have some spare clothes," Naruto said before he grabbed Thalia's hand and disappeared.
XXX
Both Naruto and Thalia appeared in the Kamui dimension in front of a large mirror.
"Follow me!" Naruto said as he entered into the mirror.
The other side of the mirror was a large room, filled with ninja cloths for men and women, shoes, masks, armour, weapons and many other ninja things. The room looked like a store that sold ninja equipment.
"Take anything you want from it," he said.
Thalia nodded dumbly and ran to check different cloths that would fit her perfectly. While Thalia was busy to find a suitable outfit for her, Naruto was busy to find his own.
A few minutes passed. Thalia found perfect clothes for her. "Naruto, where is a changing room?" she asked.
"There is no a changing room here," Naruto said. "You'll have to change your clothes here."
"Then close your eyes and turn around," she ordered as she folded her arms across her chest.
Naruto closed his eyes and turned his back to her.
"No peeking!" she shouted.
He waited for her to change out of the Greek battle armor into kunoichi outfit.
"You're not peeking are you?" she asked.
He replied "No. I'm being good."
"Good."
Once she was dressed, she said he could turn around. "So, how did I look?"
He took a good look at her from head to toe. She wore a short-sleeved black blouse, black-grey armour and black pants, both of which had a design similar to lightning bolt on them, red-black fingerless gloves and a charm bracelet on the left hand. She also wore sandals and ninja pouches which was strapped to her right thigh. She had bandages around her arms and legs as well as a red belt around her waist.
"You look hot," he said as he walked towards her. "It's my turn."
Thalia closed her eyes and turned around.
"You can take a peek if you want. I don't mind!" he said.
"Shut up!" Thalia shouted. Her face was practically one huge tomato.
Naruto smiled and he began to change his dress into ninja outfit.
"You can turn around," he said as he finished changing his clothes.
Thalia turned around to see Naruto dressed in ninja clothes. He wore a short-sleeved, high-collared black shirt and black pants with black shinobi sandal. Along with this he wore fingerless gloves with a bandage wrapped around the right one. He also had red-black customized armor over his shirt as well as a ninja pouch that strapped around his right thigh and the golden-black bracelet which was still on his left arm.
"You look good," she said with small pink tints on her cheeks.
"Thank you," he said. "But there is one thing is lacking." He waved his hand as with a flock of crows, a black hooded cloak with red lining materialized over his outfit.
Then he suddenly appeared in front of her. He grabbed her hand and they disappeared from Kamui dimension.
XXX
They reappeared in the forest, in front of Daichi, who was dressed in his ninja outfit. He wore a red short-sleeved shirt, black pant and a brown flak jacket as well as ninja sandals and fingerless gloves. He had three ninja pouches around his right thigh.
Naruto tossed a brown hooded cloak to Daichi. "Wear this," he said. "I don't want to start a chaos in Konoha...not too soon."
Daichi caught the cloak and pulled it around him. Then they placed hoods over their heads.
"Let's go," Naruto said, placing his both hands on their shoulder. They disappeared.

"So this is your former village," Thalia said as she took a look over the Konoha village on top of the Hokage Mountain. She stood there, watching all the activities between the villagers. She was holding Naruto's hand tightly because of height.
"Yes, it's my former home," Naruto said.
'This isn't a village, it's more like a city,' she thought herself.
Daichi asked, "Master, can you feel them?"
"Yes," Naruto said, smiling, "Gokage are here."
"Gokage?" Thalia asked in confusion.
"They are the Five Kage," Naruto said.
"Kazekage, Mizukage, Raikage, Tsuchikage and Konoha's Hokage," Daichi explained. "They are leaders of the hidden villages of the Five Great Shinobi Countries. They are the most powerful ninja in their respective villages."
"Wow!" Thalia said.
Naruto activated his sharingan and said, "Let me show you how they looked like a few years ago."
As an image of a red headed boy appeared in front of them. He had pale blue-green eyes, and had no distinctive pupils or eyebrows. He had two very notable traits in his appearance: firstly, he had tanuki-like black eye rings. Secondly, the kanji "love" (愛) on the left side of his forehead. He was in Kazekage robes.
"His name is Sabaku no Gaara. He is Godaime Kazekage of Sunagakure," Daichi said.
Thalia said, "He looks so young."
"He is one of the youngest Kage in the Element Nation," Naruto told her.
"Do not fool by his young age. Gaara is a powerful shinobi, so much that he was made Kazekage by the time he was fifteen," Daichi said. "He possesses the ability to freely manipulate sand to serve various purposes."
Another image appeared beside Gaara.
"This is the Godaime Mizukage of Kirigakure," Naruto said.
Mei was a slender woman in her thirties. She had green eyes, and ankle-length, auburn hair.
"Mei is capable of using the earth, fire, and water natures, and has two kekkei genkai. She can create Lava and a corrosive mist that can burn away almost anything, it touches," he added.
"Well, she is beautiful," Thalia said.
Another image formed beside both images. He was a tall, dark-skinned man with a large muscular build, with his blond hair combed back, a small mustache and beard. His face was very distinguished with pronounced cheekbones and tear troughs under his eyes, and a prominent crease across his forehead.
"This is the Yondaime Raikage of Kumogakure," Naruto said.
Daichi added, "His name is A."
"A?" Thalia asked.
"Yes, A," Daichi said. "He is undoubtedly an extremely powerful shinobi. He possesses a massive amount of physical strength and speed. He is one of the fastest men in the Element Nation."
Naruto said, "A is also skilled in lightning-based techniques, able to focus lightning chakra into a point sharp enough to neatly cut through anything."
"So he can control lightning like me?" Thalia asked.
"His control over lightning is greater than you," Naruto said. "But, he's not completely immune to lightning like you."
An image of a very short, old man appeared in front of them. He had a triangular beard and a mustache that had angular corners, a big red nose and thick eyebrows. The top of his head was completely bald, although, he had long white hair on the lower-half of his head.
"Who is this short old man?" Thalia asked.
Naruto sweat dropped. "Believe me or not, he is the Sandaime Tsuchikage of Iwagakure," he said, shocking her. "His name is Ōnoki."
"This old man is a very proud, headstrong, and boastful individual. Because of his age, he is also somewhat frail, with constant complaints about hip and back pains," Daichi added. "Still, he is a powerful and capable Tsuchikage. He possesses the ability to use the kekkei tōta known as Dust Release."
"What is Dust Release?" Thalia asked.
"Daichi, show her," Naruto ordered.
Daichi nodded. "This is Dust Release." A cube with a small white sphere formed in his hand. "With this I can disintegrate anything on a molecular level within the boundaries of this cube." The cube vanished from his hands. "I'm still not good at this. But Ōnoki is master in this technique."
"He can also fly," Naruto told her.
"Like Superman?" Thalia asked.
"Yes, like a short, old and ugly version of Superman," Daichi said.
"Now, this is the Godaime Hokage of Konohagakure, Tsunade Senju," Naruto said as an image of blonde woman appeared in front of them.
Tsunade was a light-skinned woman of average height with brown eyes and straight, blonde hair. She had a violet rhombus mark on her forehead. The most noticeable thing about her was her large bust.
'What the hell!' Thalia shouted in her mind. 'Are they even real?'
"Tsunade is undoubtedly one of the most powerful ninja. She is a remarkable combatant and medical-nin and is also hailed as the world's strongest kunoichi," Daichi said.
"She has immense raw strength," Naruto said. He looked at Thalia. "She is stronger than Heracles."
"Sh-e is stron-ger th-an Hera-cles," Thalia shuttered in shock.
"Yes," Naruto nodded. "She can launch her targets several meters with a mere finger flick or create fissures with a single finger jab at the ground."
"Another thing about her is that she is one of the greatest medical-ninja. She can perform any procedure flawlessly to cure and heal injuries that others would consider impossible or a lost cause," Daichi said.
Thalia shook her head. "You know after hearing about them, I prefer to stay my own world than this. I feel safer there than here."
"But in this world, you wouldn't need to fight with any monster," Naruto said.
Thalia turned to him and said, "But I'd have to fight with shinobi whom itself are monsters."
"We are not monsters, Thalia." Naruto smirked. "We are demons."
Thalia shook her head. "So, what now?" she asked.
Naruto smirked and picked her up in bridal style. Then he and Daichi jumped from the Hokage Mountain. A dimension gate opened at midway and they went inside as the gate closed behind them.
XXX
A dimension gate opened up in a dark alley of Konoha as Naruto, Daichi and Thalia came out of it.
"Put me down!" Thalia shouted as Naruto was still holding her in bridal style.
"Ok," Naruto said, placing her on her feet.
Thalia took a deep breath to calm down her heart. "Warn me next time before doing something like that," she said angrily. "Anyway, what are we doing here?"
"You are hungry, right?" Naruto asked. Thalia nodded. "Then, I've something for you."

They reached at the Ichiraku ramen stand that hadn't changed much. Even after it had been destroyed in Pain's attack; it was rebuilt in the same way. When they entered the ramen shop, they were greeted by Teuchi and his daughter Ayame. They hadn't changed much, other than they looked older. They took seats and ordered bowls of ramen. Teuchi and Ayame didn't recognize Naruto and Daichi because they were using Henge to change their appearance.
"Here are your ramen. Enjoy your meal," Ayame said as she brought three cups of ramen for them.
Naruto nodded as he and Daichi picked up the ramen.
"Do you have a fork?" Thalia asked.
"You have to use this," Daichi said, showing chopsticks to her.
"I can't use chopsticks," she said.
From nowhere, Naruto pulled out a fork and gave it to her.
"Thank you," she said, taking a fork from his hand.
"Are you here for Chunin exam?" Ayame asked, arranging some dishes.
"No, we are tourists," Naruto lied. "We are here to see the final matches."
"So what are your names?"
Naruto said, "My name Percy."
"And I'm Jackson," Daichi said.
Thalia nearly choked her ramen after hearing their names.
"And her name is Annabell," Naruto said, pointing at Thalia.
"You all have really weird names," Teuchi said.
"Dad!" Ayame shouted at her father.
Teuchi apologized, "Sorry."
"It's ok," Daichi said.
After finishing their ramen, they stood up from the seats. They thanked Ayame and Teuchi for a meal.
Naruto gave Ayame a small red-bag. "This is for ramen; keep the change," he said, and he left with others.
Ayame opened the bag. Her eyes winded in shock. "Dad...Dad!" she called.
"What happened, Ayame?" Teuchi asked. He was cleaning a plate.
"Da-d, se-e this," she said, showing him bag.
Teuchi dropped the plate in a shock when he saw what was inside of the bag. The bag was filled with golden coins. They quickly ran outside of the shop to find those children, who had given it to them, but they saw no one.

"Master, you paid them a thousand times more than the actual price," Daichi said as they were walking near some empty training ground of Konoha.
"I know," Naruto said. "But they are good people. They had given me free ramen when I was a lonely and hungry kid." Suddenly, he stopped in front of Team 7 old training ground. "You can come out now. I can sense you."
As three Anbu came out of nowhere and surrounded them. One particular dog masked Anbu got Naruto's attention. He had a large white dog with him.
"Halt, who you are?" one Anbu asked, which was standing in front of them.
"We are just tourists," Naruto answered with slight amusement in his voice.
"Then, why are you wearing Henge?" another one asked coldly.
"Grrr!" The white fur dog growled at Naruto.
"What happened, boy?" Dog masked Anbu asked his dog partner.
The dog gave a series of barks without taking his eyes from Naruto.
"Are you sure?"
The dog gave another bark.
"What is he saying, Dog?" one Anbu asked.
"My partner said his scent is kind of look familiar," Dog masked Anbu answered as he pointed at Naruto.
As all Anbu quickly pulled out their weapons.
"Drop your Henge!" Anbu ordered.
Naruto gave a nod to Daichi and they dispelled the Henge, but they were still wearing hoods over their faces.
"Remove your hood!" Dog masked Anbu ordered.
"You're really became professional, Kiba," Naruto said.
"What?"
Naruto and Daichi removed their hoods to show their faces to them.
"I-t ca-n't be... N-Na-ruto," Kiba said. His eyes winded in a shock, "an-d Dai-chi, ho-w is this possible?"
Other two Anbu took a step back when they heard their name.
"And why is that not possible?" Daichi smirked.
"Because both of you suppo-sed to be dead," Kiba shouted, gathering some courage in his voice. "And why both of you look younger than before?"
"It's better if you don't think about it, Kiba," Naruto said as he activated his sharingan. "Because you've another thing to worry about... like save yourself and your friends from me."
"Don't look at his eyes!" Kiba shouted as he quickly looked down at his feet to avoid eye contact with Naruto.
However, it was too late for his fellow Anbu. They fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Shit!" Kiba cursed before he turned to his nin-dog Akamaru. "Get ready, Akamaru. Maybe, this is our only chance."
He created a shadow clone before shouting, "Inuzuka-Style: Human Beast Mixture Transformation: Three-Headed Wolf!" He fused with his clone and his ninken companion Akamaru, creating a gigantic, three-headed wolf. The wolf growled loudly and ran at Naruto, showing his sharp claws and canine teeth.
"Trying to copy Cerberus, Kiba," Naruto said. "A bad choice."
He summoned Susanoo's chains and wrapped them around the wolf. The chains held the three-headed wolf easily above the ground. Then he sent black-electricity into the chains, shocking the wolf as he cried in pain. He lifted the wolf higher and then he slammed him on the ground, dispelling their transformation.
Kiba cried in pain. "Akama-ru, go an-d warn others," he said. His ninja dog wanted to protest. "You know w-we can't fight with both of th-them alone. Just go!"
Akamaru ran to get some help from their friends.
"Master," Daichi called.
"Let him go, Daichi," Naruto said before he looked down at Kiba, who had lost his consciousness. "It'll be more fun for us."
"Naruto," Thalia called to catch his attention.
"Yes?" Naruto replied.
"Why are they afraid of both of you?"
"Well, you see. We are..."

It was one of the peaceful days for Konoha Ninjas, and was a special day for Konoha twelve and their sensei. It was a day of their reunion. They were in a hotel. But, because of Chunin exam, many of them were busy so only a few present there. Most of Konoha twelve was promoted Jounin after the fourth shinobi war while some of them were made special-Jounin and Anbu. They all were sitting at table, discussing on a latest topic, the Chunin exam except team seven's scarecrow teacher, who was busy in his Icha-Icha—purposely avoiding hateful stare that Kurenai was given to him—and certain Nara, who was in his own world, thinking about something.
Shikamaru was in deep thought as he stared down at the remnants of his cold dinner.
"Eat up, Shikamaru! Or I'll give your food to Chōji!" Ino threatened, shaking a fist.
Shikamaru just pushed his plate to his Akimichi friend. "You can have it Chōji. I don't feel that hungry anyway."
Sakura looked at the strategic genius as she noticed the thoughtful expression on his face. "What is wrong, Shikamaru?" she asked.
Shikamaru shook his head. "For the last four days, I was thinking about something," Nara said.
"Thinking about what?" Ino asked.
"About Naruto."
Hearing Naruto's name, everyone looked at him even Kakashi, who had closed his book, was now listening Nara.
"What abo-ut him, Shikamaru-san?" Hinata asked.
"Yes, what about him, Shika?" Ino asked. "He is dead."
"Are you sure, he is dead?" Shikamaru asked. "We are talking about Naruto, here."
"What are you implying, Nara-san?" Shino usually did not speak, but when he did, he always spoke straight pointedly.
"We never found his body."
"Are you saying he may be alive?" Tenten said. Just thinking about it, a shiver went down her spine.
Kurenai said, "Shikamaru, you are thinking too much about it."
Suddenly, they heard screams of the waitress and the sound of breaking dishes. They quickly turned around to see Akamaru was running towards them. He stopped in front of them and started to bark.
"Akamaru-kun, wh-ere is Kiba-kun?" Hinata asked.
Akamaru barked at them again before turned around and started to bark at exit like he wanted to show them something.
"Maybe, he wants to show us something," Kakashi said. He had an experience with dogs.
"Is Kiba in danger?" Kurenai asked.
Akamaru barked.
"Shit!" she said. "Let's go!"
They stood up and started to follow the ninja-dog.
"Hey!" a waitress shouted. "Who is going to pay for this damage?" She pointed at broken dishes.
"Put it in Kakashi-sensei's account," Sakura said before she went after others.
XXX
They all reached Team seven's old training ground when Naruto was in the team. It was a big ground with a view of mountains in the landscape and a large and deep river with forests on the both of its sides. There was a glade and in its center there were three stumps lined side.
"Kiba!"
"Kiba-kun!"
Both Kurenai and Hinata shouted, seeing a former member of their team on the ground. They ran toward him to check if he was ok.
Hinata lifted Kiba's head and put it on her lap.
"Sakura, check him!" Kurenai said.
Sakura nodded as she held his hands over Kiba and ran a quick diagnostic Jutsu. "He is alive, but he has multiple broken bones and minor degree burns."
"What about them?" Kakashi asked as he pointed at other Anbu, laying on the ground.
Kurenai looked at other Anbu. Her eyes winded. "Someone has placed a genjutsu on them," she said.
"And there is no wound or anything cuts or bruises on their bodies," Sakura said after checking their bodies. "They are just unconscious."
"Their opponents must be strong if they can handle Anbu with just genjutsu," Shikamaru said.
"I only know few persons who can do that," Chōji said. "And most of them are dead."
"Kurenai!" Kakashi said.
Kurenai nodded. She made a seal and shouted, "Kai!" Nothing happened. "This genjutsu is very strong."
"Kurenai, try it once again. I'll help you this time," Kakashi said.
He and Kurenai made a seal and shouted at the same time. "Kai!" However, this time they succeed to cancel the genjutsu on two Anbu as they opened their eyes.
"Who did this?" Kakashi asked.
"I did," a familiar voice said.
They turned around to see a familiar face, even if it looked much younger, they still recognized it.
"N-Na-ruto," Kakashi said. His lone eyes winded in shock as he saw his supposed to be dead student standing front of him on a stump.
"Hello, Kakashi-sensei," Naruto greeted as he jumped from the stump and took few steps forward.
"Why you look so young, Naruto?" Kakashi asked his ex-student.
"It's a side-effect of destroying Juubi," Naruto answered as he took another step towards them.
"You are not Naruto Uchiha!" Anbu shouted as he and his partner stood on their feet.
"There is no way you are him because he is dead," Second Anbu shouted.
They took their weapons and ran towards Naruto. They are just a few meters away from Naruto when an earth golem caught both Anbu. It slammed them onto each other and dropped them to the ground, unconscious.
"Stay away from the Master," another familiar voice came from the golem's shoulder.
"Daichi," Chōji said.
He was another person whom they thought dead.
"You still remember me. Good!" Daichi said. The earth golem crumbled and Daichi landed beside Naruto.
"Do not interface in my fight, Daichi," Naruto said.
"Sorry, Master!"
"Stay with Thalia!"
Then they saw a black-haired girl leaning against a stump. Daichi disappeared and reappeared beside her.
"Now, where are we?" Naruto said, turning back Konoha ninja.
"Naruto! You and Daichi are coming with us!" Kakashi said as he and other Konoha ninjas pulled out their weapons.
"My, My, Kakashi-sensei," Naruto mocked. "You are too eager to catch me."
Kakashi's eyes winded as Naruto's voice came from behind him. He quickly turned around to slash Naruto, but he found nothing but empty air.
"Old age is making you slow, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto's voice came right next to him, followed by a strong punch that sent him flying back into a tree.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura shouted as she saw Kakashi laying on the ground, unconscious.
'He is much faster than before,' Kurenai thought. A sweat rolled down from her forehead.
Suddenly, Naruto felt the tip of a kunai on his neck. "Not bad, Kakashi-sensei, Not bad," he said. Kakashi on the ground disappeared in a puff of smoke, proving it was a clone.
"I know how powerful you are Naruto. I'd never let my guard down front of someone like you," Kakashi said, holding a kunai on Naruto's neck. "Now, surrender!"
Naruto didn't say anything; he just pointed his finger at stumps. There was another Naruto was standing there.
"You've already let your guard down, Kakashi-sensei," other Naruto said as the world around them started to shatter like glass and Konoha ninja found themselves at the same spot they were before.
'Damn! A genjutsu!' Kurenai thought. She clenched her fist.
'We need a plan,' Shikamaru thought. His mind was thinking all possibly that would come.
'He has never lost his touch,' Kakashi thought, looking at his former student.
Sakura thought, shaking her fist, 'We want a backup.'
'We can't win this fight someone like him in straight battle. He will destroy us.' Tenten's hands were twitching to pull out all weapons from the pouch.
'I don't have any useful jutsu that will help us in this battle,' Ino thought. She felt helpless, but still she pulled kunai from her pouch.
Shino's face was emotionless, but from inside there was something troubling him. 'Why my kikaichū don't want to go near him?'
'Na-Naruto-kun!' Hinata thought. She looked at Naruto then she turned to Thalia. 'Who is she?'
Chōji gave a loud cry before he shouted, "Super Expansion Jutsu!" He began to grow right before their eyes. He grew and grew until he was the size of a giant. He lifted his hand to smash Naruto.
Naruto raised his own hand. Just Chōji's fist connected to Naruto's hand, his whole giant body went into some kind of portal.
"Chōji!" Shikamaru shouted in horror as he saw his best friend just disappeared in front of his eyes.
"Where is Chōji, Naruto?" Ino demanded.
Naruto gave them a smirk and pointed at up.
Kakashi saw a giant shadow looming over them. He looked up. His eyes winded. "Move!"
They quickly moved away to avoid being crushed by Chōji's giant body. Chōji crashed into the hard ground, causing the ground to rumble as a loud noise that echoed throughout the training ground. Chōji shrunk down to his original size.
"Chōji!" Ino and Shikamaru cried. They ran towards him.
Sakura quickly scanned his body using medical jutsu. "He is fine. He is just unconscious and there is no major damage on his body."
"We need more careful around Naruto if he can teleport anything with a single touch," Kakashi said, looking carefully at Naruto, who hadn't moved from his place.
"Are you done?" Naruto asked. "Because, I'm waiting for some action."
The Konoha ninjas tensed as they stood up on their feet.
"Be careful, and don't look at his eyes," Kakashi warned, getting into fighting stance. "Let's go!"
They ran towards Naruto.
Naruto did the same. He ran towards Konoha ninjas. He went straight through them like they weren't in his path as he moved toward Hinata. Before other Konoha ninjas could realize, he was already in front of her.
"Hello, Hinata," Naruto said.
Hinata shuttered, "Na-Naruto-kun."
"Goodbye, Hinata."
He punched her in the stomach and then kicked her, sending the poor girl flying backward. He quickly pulled out his Kunai to block Kunerai's kunai, and he passed through Kakashi's attack.
"Are you angry because I hurt your precocious student?" Naruto said.
He easily pushed her back then sidestepped to avoid Sakura's super punches. He caught her wrist and threw her at Shino. Sakura crashed into Shino, sending both of them rolling to the ground.
Thalia and Daichi watched Naruto fighting to all Konoha ninjas at the same time. He was trashing them one by one.
"How did he know an attack was coming towards him?" Thalia asked, seeing Naruto were blocking all attacks that was coming from behind him.
"Master is a sensor; he can sense them," Daichi said.
Naruto was front of Ino. "Ino, look at my eyes. They look different from before," he said.
"What?" Ino shouted. As her usual habit, she looked at his eyes. She fell on her knees, clutching her head in pain as she found herself in the gaze of a thousand crows and their sharingan eyes.
Ino's unconscious body fell to the ground.
Naruto suddenly jumped up to avoid being pulled down by Kakashi's Double Suicide Decapitation Jutsu. He caught his ex-sensei both wrists and pulled him up. He threw his other direction, but Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke in midair, again.
'A clone,' Naruto thought.
He did a triple back flip and moved away from Konoha ninja. Then he made single hand seal before shouting, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!" He expelled a massive orb of roaring white flame from his mouth.
"Shit!" Tenten said as she saw a large fireball coming towards them.
Suddenly, Kakashi appeared in front of them. He made some hand seals before slamming his both hands on the ground. "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!" He created a solid wall of earth in front of them in the right time as the fireball crashed into the earth wall.
The fireball didn't extinguish after crashing the earth wall. It was still blazing with while fire. The earth wall was holding it barely. Naruto made a thrusting motion with his hand as the fireball moved forward and started to melt the earth-wall. It melted the wall and rolled forward, but it gave enough time Konoha ninja to move out its way. It went straight towards the river and disappeared completely.
"That was close," Tenten said.
Both Kurenai and Kakashi ran towards Naruto, and started to attack him from different sides with great teamwork and combination attacks. Naruto was showing his superior skills as he was countering all their attacks. Both Kakashi and Kurenai pushed Naruto near Daichi and Thalia, into the shadows of trees.
"Now!" Kurenai shouted.
"Shadow Bind Technique: success!" Shikamaru shouted, catching Naruto and his friends' shadow by his jutsu as he came out of hiding, holding rat seal.
All Konoha ninja, who were not unconscious, surrounded two demigods and half-Titan. They pulled out their weapons and pointed at them.
"Give up, Naruto!" Sakura said. She gathered chakra in her fist. "You and your friend can't escape from Shikamaru's Jutsu."
"Come peacefully with us!" Kakashi said.
Naruto gave them a smirk. "Nice plan Shikamaru," he said. "But this jutsu is useless against someone like me." He took a step forward, shocking everyone except Thalia and Daichi.
"Bu-t how?" Shikamaru asked.
"The shadow is my ally," Naruto said, waving his hand as multiple shadow hands shot out from his shadow and caught all Konoha ninjas. "It'll never harm me." They lifted all ninjas from the ground. "Now, tell the leaders of five great hidden villages that we are back." The shadow hand moved Kakashi closer to him. "Goodbye!" The shadow enveloped Naruto and his friends before it melted into the ground, leaving nothing, but green grass.
When Naruto disappeared, the shadow hands also disappeared with him, dropping all Konoha ninjas on the ground.
"Kurenai, can you handle here?" Kakashi called.
Kurenai gave a nod.
Kakashi turned to Shikamaru. "Let's go. We have to inform all five Kage about this."
Kakashi and Shikamaru ran to the Hokage tower where the Kage from the Five Great Shinobi Countries were discussing about future alliance.

It was a large room in the Hokage Tower with a table shaped like a crescent moon in the center. Above each seat at the table there was a large banner hanging from the ceiling that was a different color and had the kanji for the five different nations.
Tsunade, along with all Kage of remaining great shinobi countries were sitting on their respective table. They were discussing their future plans about their alliance and upcoming Chunin exams final.
Tsunade said, looking at other Kage, "About Chunin exams final, we ar—"
She cut off by a loud bang on the door as Kakashi and Shikamaru entered the room.
"What's meaning of this, Kakashi and Shikamaru?" she asked angrily. "Both of you better have a good excuse for interrupting this meeting."
"Tsunade-sama!" Kakashi said. "Naruto and Daichi..."
All five Kage alarmed at hearing their names.
"Tsunade-sama, they are alive," Shikamaru said, shocking everyone that present in the room.
"They are in Konoha," Kakashi added. "We fought with Naruto."
"And you are still alive?" Mei asked.
"Yes."
"I did suspect that Naruto may be alive somewhere," Ōnoki said as he floated from his seat. "But how did Daichi survive from the blast?"
"Only Daichi and Naruto can answer that question," Tsunade said before she turned towards her ninjas. "Tell us everything."
Kakashi and Shikamaru began to tell all five Kage their fight with Naruto.

Naruto, Thalia and Daichi appeared on the Hokage Mountain from the shadow portal.
"What is in your mind, Master?" Daichi asked.
Thalia also wanted to ask him the same question.
Naruto looked at Konoha and said, "It's time to visit Kage, but first...You can come out now."
A plant like entity emerged behind him. Half of his body was black while the other was white, and they were looking at both Naruto and Daichi curiously.
"Zetsu?" Daichi said.
Naruto turned toward Zetsu. "So you are still alive."
"I thought you killed by sexy-Mizukage's bodyguard...Chi—what is his name again?"
"Chōjūrō," White Zetsu said.
"Yes, you killed by Chōjūrō."
"We protected ourselves by seeping into the ground," Black Zetsu said.
White Zetsu asked, "The question is that how are you still alive after smashed by tail-beast ball?"
"Well, I—"
"I'll explain it to you later," Naruto cut in.
"Well, I've another question," White Zetsu said. He pointed at Thalia. "Who is she?"
"Her name is Thalia. She is the Master's girlfriend," Daichi answered.
"Well, Never expect that you are taking clan restoring seriously," Black Zetsu said.
"Madara would have proud of you," White Zetsu said.
"Naruto, who is he?" Thalia asked. "And what is he saying about clan restoring?"
"Ignore them, they are just failed experiments of my grandfather," Naruto told her.
Both Zetsu didn't take a failed experiments comment seriously. They decided to introduce themselves to Thalia.
"I am While Zetsu."
"I am Black Zetsu."
"Just call them Zetsu," Daichi said.
"Daichi, stay with Thalia," Naruto ordered. "Zetsu, come with me."
"Where?" White Zetsu asked.
"To see all five Kage."

"So, Naruto looks much younger than before?" Gaara asked.
"Yes," Kakashi nodded. "He looked around thirteen or fourteen year old."
Mei asked, "What is the girl's name, who was with them?"
"I think her name was something like Thi...Thalia," Shikamaru said.
"Hmm, weird name," Mizukage said.
"Then we must attempt to find them!" A shouted, slamming his hand on the table.
"There is no need for that."
They quickly turned towards the voice direction to see Naruto was leaning his back against the wall.
"Naruto," Tsunade said, her eyes winded to see him alive after three and half years.
Naruto took a few steps forward as everyone in the room tensed. "No Hello or welcome back to me?" he asked in a mocking tone.
"Brat! You should be grateful we are not attacking you," A said. He was ready to use his Lightning Release Armour. "Now, tell us how you and that brat are still alive?"
"Gods save me," Naruto said. It was a truth, but the Ninjas front of him didn't believe in him.
"Bullshit! Tell us truth!"
"It's a truth. It's up to you if you believe it or not," Naruto said. Then suddenly, his expression on his face turned one-eighty degrees. His voice lost all the playfulness and amusement in it. "Now, I want something from you."
"What do you want?" Tsunade asked as she narrowed her eyes at her ex-Konoha ninja.
"I want to fight with some of your ninjas."
Gaara asked, "Why?"
"I want to test their power," Naruto answered.
"And, why should we agree with it?" Mei asked.
"If you do agree with it, I'll give you guaranty, I'll leave them alive...And if you don't," Naruto said, and he disappeared and reappeared behind Shikamaru. He thrust his hand straight through his stomach.
"Shikamaru!" Tsunade shouted as she and every person that was in the room tried to attack on Naruto, but they found unable to move because of the shadow that had spread across the floor.
Naruto pulled back his hand from Shikamaru's body as Shikamaru fell to the ground, bleeding heavily. "I'll make it sure they will not alive to see tomorrow's sun."
"Very well," Tsunade said as she gritted her teeth. "Just tell us place and time."
"Two hours later in the arena of Chunin exams final match...And wake up Shikamaru for me," Naruto said before disappearing into a murder of crows.
"What?" Tsunade shouted.
Kakashi knelt down at Shikamaru and saw there wasn't any wound on his body. He was just unconscious. "He is alive," he informed all five Kage.
Gaara said, "It was a genjutsu."
"That sneaky little brat just convinced all of us with a genjutsu," Ōnoki said.
"I think so," Mei said.
Ōnoki muttered under his breath, "I hate that brat."
"Still, we can't take his warning lightly," Tsunade said. She turned to Kakashi. "Inform Konohamaru, Sasuke and all our high-class ninjas who are on a mission about this. I want all of them in Konoha in one hour."
"Hai, Tsunade-sama," Kakashi said.
