It was a bright and sunny day in konoha, there was much hustle and bustle because tomorrow was konoha's yearly music festival. It was also the day that Uzumaki Naruto and Jiraiya of the sannin would return from their training trip. But little did the rookie eleven know that Naruto would not be the same knucklehead ninja he was before they left, his mask had finally fallen and everyone would be able to see his pain and suffering. Much to the surprise of Jiraiya as soon as they got one hundred yards from the walls of konoha his posture and behavior immediately changed, where before he was relaxed and happy he was now alert and emotionless."Ah come on this is so boring"Izumo groaned "why do we always have to guard the gate."Calm down Izumo I have a feeling today isn't going to be so bad"Kotetsu said, "dear Kami I hope your right" Izumo said as two shadowy figures approached the gate. one was approximately 6'4 the other was about 5'5 the taller one was wearing a ridiculous almost kabuki outfit, and the smaller one was wearing anbu style pants, a fishnet shirt, with a long black trench coat covering the shirt with the necklace he won from tsunade hanging proudly from his neck."Ne ero sensei when will we report to baa-chan before or after lunch", "damnit gaki how many times must I tell you to stop calling me that" Jiraiya shouted with a tick mark "okay I will stop calling you that" Naruto said "really" Jiraiya said with hope in his voice."As soon as you stop peeping on women for your perverted books" said Naruto with a smug smile, "why must you treat me like this my apprentice" Jiraiya said with anime style tears streaming down his face."So anyway when are we going to report to baa-chan" Naruto inquired again, "as soon as we enter the village Naruto"."okay ero-sensei then get ready we are approaching the gate" Naruto said "by the way Naruto, we are going to tell her everything that has happened from you taking off the mask, to the kyuubi befriending you, all the way to you performing with your band in the festival" jiraiya stated. "Okay ero-sensei" naruto said. "Halt state your buisness in konoha and show us your id" said Izumo."Jiraiya of the sannin and apprentice Uzumaki Naruto returning from our training trip". "Oh forgive us Jiraiya-sama please go through" said Kotetsu."Hey wait where is Naruto?" Izumo asked, "ahem right here Izumo" said naruto with a small smile."WHOAH holy crap is that really you" said Izumo with a huge grin slowly spreading across his face "how you been man we missed you around here"said Izumo his grin threatening to break his face, "Nice new duds bro I like the look on you", "thanks Izumo how you and Kotetsu doing still got boring ass gate duty" Naruto said. Izumo and Kotetsu immediately put there heads down and crawled into emo corner crying fountains of anime style tears."*sniff sniff* yes we're starting to think the hokage hates us" Iumo and Kotetsu cried in creepy unision. Naruto and Jiraiya slowly crept away to the hokages office.
A/N:well this is where im going to end it for now. I know I said this story would be serious and this chapter had a lot of comedy, but it will get more serious. Now as I'm sure I'm sure I will get a few reviews asking about Naruto being friendly to everyone so far, he will only be cold and unemotional to people who have wronged him or hurt him...Well for now this MAD-REAPER748 signing off.
