Still in the past…
"You!" said two voices simultaneously.
Kisame looked back and forth from Naruto and Tazuna. "I take it you two know each other."
"This old fool was the cause of my first serious mission."
"Who you calling old, you brat?" Tazuna barked as veins on his forehead made themselves known.
"Speaking of the mission, you still haven't paid for it yet!"
"The Hokage told me to send it when my country could afford it. I sent the money yesterday."
"Shit," Naruto muttered to himself.
"I'd say from the look of you that you're hard up for money. That and the fact you came here with fish face and the mute."
Kisame bristled at the comment while Itachi just stood there with a neutral expression.
"Why don't you three come in and tell me the situation," he said as stepped aside to let the three pass, "Just be quiet, Inari and Tsunami are sleeping."
The three nodded and followed Tazuna into the parlor. Naruto took a seat on one of the chairs near the fireplace while Kisame flopped down on the couch. Itachi just leaned against the wall.
"OK, why don't you explain to me why you're here and with those two?"
Naruto nodded and began to talk about the time since he left to the point where he arrived at Tazuna's house. It was half an hour later when he finished. Tazuna just stared at the boy while the information sank in. After a couple minutes he finally spoke.
"So your now on a training journey after finishing one with Jiraiya, Kisame is going to train you in the use of Zabuza's sword, and your low on cash?"
"That's pretty much it in a nutshell."
Tazuna stroked his beard solemnly as he contemplated something. After a moment a plan came to fruition.
"Well Naruto, I guess I can let you stay here with those two and help you with money."
"Awesome!"
"But, you're not going to get either for free. You're going to have to work for it. Think of it as a trade."
"I'm cool with it. So what do you need? Bodyguard or something?"
Tazuna chuckled darkly, "You'll see in the morning…"
Naruto didn't like the look the old man had, but he couldn't complain. He was going to give him room and board. He knew that he needed to change the subject.
"Tazuna can I ask you something?"
"Hmm?"
"How do you know Kisame and Itachi?"
"Well they took care of a bandit problem we had a few months ago. I'm sure they can explain it better than I can."
Naruto looked at Kisame first.
"They attacked our camp, we couldn't let it slide," Kisame told him.
Naruto nodded and looked at Itachi.
"They stole my pocky."
Naruto was about to say something but was interrupted by Tazuna
"I think it's time to head to bed, Naruto you will be bunking with those two in the room next to Inari's."
----
Back to the present…
"Naruto can I ask you something?" Kisame asked.
"Yessum?"
"Why are we heading into town now? I mean you're not supposed to meet with the Hokage till tomorrow."
"Well I don't know about you, but I think I can speak for Itachi and myself when I say this. Neither of us wants to camp out if we can help it."
Kisame looked hurt at this comment. He couldn't understand how people could hate camping out. Being out in the real world surrounded by nature was surely better than spending time in a city.
"Anyways my apartment is close by. According to the old bag it should still be vacant. I mean who wants to live in the place the demon did?" he said with a sad chuckle.
"Listen kid, people fear what they don't understand. It's the nature of you humans," the fox said, hoping to lift the boy's spirits a bit.
"Whatever fuzz butt, it's only a few blocks away so we should hurry. I know people can't recognize us but the ANBU might and I don't feel like hurting people tonight."
Kisame and Itachi nodded while Naruto lifted the mask that was around hanging under his chin. When that was done, Naruto led the way to his old home. As he walked, he couldn't help being amazed at how much the village has changed over the years. Apparently Tsunade was doing something right as Hokage for the village to be this prosperous. After a few minutes of walking the four were walking through Naruto's old neighborhood. It changed the most in these past nine years.
Gone were the signs of the lower class neighborhood. Replaced with buildings that looked new, with stores taking up the most the lowest floors in most of them. Soon they were near the corner that Naruto's apartment was around. Stopping and turning, trying to build up dramatics Naruto spoke.
"Around this corner my boys, is the place I called home for seven hellish years. The one and only home of Naruto Uzamaki," Naruto said with an eye grin.
Turning back around Naruto turned around the corner. Only to be met with something he would never expect. He gaped along with Kisame as he stared at the sight. The fox was currently on the ground rolling in laughter. Gone was his apartment, the only place he could have called home. Replaced by a massive snack food store. It was Itachi who said the name of the store out loud.
"Yuka's House of Pocky"
Naruto just stared at the abomination. The last letter he received from Tsunade told him that his home was still around and that she would take care of it. She didn't mention it being replaced with a Pocky store. Naruto's thoughts were interrupted as he was hugged from behind.
"Naruto, you beautiful man. Why didn't you tell me you lived in the greatest store in existence?"
Naruto just stared in disbelief at the man who was now rubbing his face into his chest. Kisame and the fox just looked at the two, trying to contain their laughter, but it was what happened next that ended it for them.
"Naruto," Itachi bent down on one knee, pulling out a ring from god knows where, "Will you marry me?"
Naruto didn't respond. He was speechless. Not from joy mind you, but from the rage of seeing his home not in the condition that he left it in.
"I'M GOING TO KILL THAT OLD BITCH!" He roared, scaring Itachi, who decided that it would be best to slip into the store and see their selection.
Naruto knew he had to see Tsunade now; this wasn't something he could let go. It was then that he noticed Itachi sneaking off towards the store.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?!"
Itachi stopped and looked at Naruto, then back towards the store. He couldn't have been more obvious.
"I'm going in"
"Like hell you are, all of you are going to come with me to the Hokage's tower. She is going to explain to me why my apartment's gone."
"Do we have to? You don't need the three of us," whined Itachi.
"Yes I do! You three don't get a say in the matter."
The fox and Kisame nodded, while Itachi began to shed tears. With a growl from Naruto, Itachi regained his composure and nodded. Soon they were making their way across the rooftops in the direction of the tower. After ten minutes they were there. What surprised Naruto was the lack of personnel. The building seemed to be run by a skeleton crew of workers. The four were able to sneak in easily.
After going up a few flights of stairs they were in the hall that held the Hokage's office. Out front of the door, was a single ANBU. Looking bored out of his mind.
"Man I wish something interesting would happen around here," he mumbled to himself, but loud enough for Naruto to hear.
"Well I guess you're in luck today," Naruto said as he walked toward the guard, still enraged.
"Who the hell are you?! What do you want!?"
"Well my companions," he gestured to the three, "and myself are here to see the Hokage."
"I take it from the look of you guys, that you don't have an appointment?" the man said as he took on a fighting stance.
Naruto just shrugged and disappeared, only to reappear next to the guard.
"How did you…" the man never had a chance to finish his sentence as Naruto backhanded him.
Kisame winced as he watched the man hit the wall.
"Christ, you didn't have to hit him that hard."
Naruto turned and glared at him.
"You say something?"
Kisame shook his head quickly, not wanting to be on the receiving side of Naruto's wrath.
"Good"
----
Today was another boring day at the office for Tsunade. All she ever did was paper work and hand out missions. She would be brought out of her lapse with the sounds of confrontation coming from outside the door. As quickly as it started it ended with a large thump coming from the side of the building. She quickly prepared to defend herself as she waited for the attackers to come. It was then, that the door flew at her, it being kicked off its hinges. She knocked it away from her and sent it through the window behind her. As she turned towards the door, she saw three people walk in followed by a fox.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
No answers came to her, so she did what she normally did. She got physical. Jumping over her desk, she rushed to the one she assumed was the leader and slugged him with all her strength. All she accomplished was to knock off his hat.
"Well that's a new way to greet someone after nine years isn't it, eh baa-Chan?" the man said with a smirk under his mask.
Tsunade just stared at the man. Her punch did nothing, not even getting a flinch out of the man. It was then she noticed something about him. He had blonde hair and eyes a shade of blue that she knew only two people in the world had. One of them being dead for over twenty years.
"Naruto?"
"The one and only," the man said as he pulled down his mask and grinned.
"My god, you've changed," Tsunade said, realizing that she had to tilt her head back to look him in the face.
"I think it's time for pleasantries to end," Naruto said as he replaced his grin with his serious look, "You are going to explain to me why my apartment is gone and replaced with a fucking candy store."
"Huh?"
"You heard me, I want explanations, now."
Tsunade looked at the man for a moment, never having seen a serious side of him before.
"You'll get it after you introduce your friends.
Naruto nodded and turned to his friends.
"The big one is Hoshigake Kisame, the small one is Uchiha Itachi," the two removed their hats and cloaks while Naruto gestured to fox, "and that is Kyuubi."
The three bowed as Tsunade just stood there stupefied. She had not one but two S-Class criminals in her presence along with the greatest known demon in existence.
"Now are you going to tell me what happened to my apartment?"
Tsunade looked back to Naruto, trying to think of an excuse. Naruto didn't need to know that the store owner bribed her into letting him purchase the property. Thinking quickly she came up with something.
"The council did it."
"What?! How could you let those old bastards give away my home?"
"I tried to stop them but they overruled me. I had to let it pass."
Naruto didn't hear her; he was currently plotting how to get back at the bastards. Itachi on the other hand noticed something was amiss. He could see the uneasiness in the woman.
'There's some wrong with this situation. The council doesn't have any say in civilian matters, besides my pocky sense is tingling.'
Scanning the room he noticed something peculiar about the one wall. Activating his sharingan discreetly, he looked closer at the wall. What he realized was that it was a false wall, hidden with a simple genjutsu that most would overlook. He inched closer to it, trying to not alert Tsunade to what he was doing.
Tsunade was impressed with her ability to lie, but she couldn't believe that Naruto bought it. While she was watching Naruto grumble away she noticed movement from the corner of her eye. She turned to see Itachi inching towards the wall that had her stash.
"What do you think you're doing?" she asked the man.
Itachi looked at her and knew that he was busted, but he wasn't going to stop now. Stepping forward, he pressed his palm against the wall and forced some chakra into it. Instantly the genjutsu was dispelled, revealing a door. Opening it quickly, he saw several large cases.
Naruto noticed the look of distress on Tsunade and the pure glee of Itachi. Cautiously, he walked over to Itachi and saw what he was staring at. Before him stood cases of what Naruto assumed was Pocky, if the name of the company on the boxes was any indication.
"Yuka…hey Kisame isn't that the name of place where my apartment used to be?"
Kisame nodded. It then dawned on Naruto, before him were cases of Pocky, hidden in a genjutsu. The pieces seemed to fall in place.
"You didn't…" he looked at the older woman who wouldn't meet his gaze, "You did…"
"I'm sorry Naruto, but the deal was too sweet to pass up."
"I'd have to agree with her Naruto," Itachi said as he happily munched on a stick of pilfered Pocky, "I mean this is quad chocolate Pocky. The company who makes this stuff only makes so many units per year. I mean I never thought I would see it much less have a chance to eat some."
Tsunade nodded in agreement with Itachi till she realized that he was eating away her stash.
"Hey, quit eating that!" She screeched as he attempted to pull the box away from Itachi, who refused to give it up.
Naruto watched the two struggle for a minute before pulling them apart.
"Okay, now that I know my apartment, which you told me still existed, was worth a few cases of sweets, I have no place to stay now," he pointed at Tsunade, "How are you going to rectify this?"
Tsunade looked at the boy for a moment before speaking, "Naruto, you knew that I sent for you, but do you know the reason?"
Naruto simply shook his head.
"Well it's about your parents."
"What about them?"
"Do you know who they were? Do you know who your father or mother was?"
"Kisame"
Kisame nodded to his younger friend. Reaching into his cloak he pulled out a marker and stepped over to the picture of the Yondaime. Drawing whiskers onto his face, the man turned into a spitting image of Naruto. Tsunade just stood there staring at what Kisame has done.
"Come on Baa-Chan, even I'm not that stupid. I mean it was obvious."
"How?"
"You think the 4th Hokage would sacrifice someone else's child? He wouldn't do that to some family. Also Jiraiya kind of let it slip."
"He what?! I'm going to skin him alive, next time I see him. Wait a minute, when did you see Jiraiya?" she asked.
"He met up with us a few times, ended up travelling with us for about a year. Learned a lot of new things, especially seals, that's the reason why fuzz butt over there is out and about."
The fox just snarled at the comment, but decided against attacking him.
"So, I know who my dad was. So do I get to use his house or something? I mean it's the least you could do."
"I sorry Naruto, but Minato didn't leave a house behind. He was the only other member of the Namikaze clan besides you. He didn't bother set up a clan housing district."
Naruto just sighed as he heard this. 'If it isn't one kick in the balls, it's another. Story of my life.'
"But, he did leave behind a large plot of land outside the village to be used in any way you see fit."
Naruto perked up when he heard this. 'Well at least my old man did something right.'
Tsunade glanced at the clock on the wall noting the time. Reaching into her desk she pulled out a scroll and tossed it to Naruto.
"Inside is the deed and directions how to get there. I don't mean to be blowing you off, but I have an important meeting I need to get to. We'll talk more tomorrow, so be here at 5pm."
Naruto nodded and turned to leave with Kisame and Kyuubi following him. Itachi was still filling the pocket of his cloak with Pocky before he followed the others. Tsunade watched them leave before reaching into desk. Pulling out a box she began to munch.

Today was not a good day for one Hyuuga Hanabi. It started out nice, but changed for the worse when she got out of her morning shower. When she went to get her clothes from her closet, she found all but one thing gone. The only thing left was the gift she was given by Anko on her sixteenth birthday. Which was an outfit similar to what she wore. With nothing else to wear, she had to put it on.
'Christ if I knew Hinata would resort to this; I wouldn't have 'borrowed' her personal massager(1)' and that picture of the boy who defeated Neji at the Chuunin exams.'
'Now I'm running late for the meeting, can this day get any worse?'
It indeed could, for Hanabi tripped on a piece of roofing tile, causing her to fall towards the ground.
"SHIT!"
----
Naruto was walking ahead of others. He since replaced his mask and hat and was now reading through the scroll, according to it, his father owned almost fifty acres of land in the forest.
"Hey Kisame"
"Yeah?"
"We got fifty acres to play around with. Guess we're going to have to build our own house?"
"Our?" Itachi asked.
"Well, I figured you guys would be staying with me. I mean you guys are the closest things I have to brothers."
Kisame and Itachi smiled and nodded. Naruto kept walking when he heard a voice.
"SHIT!"
"One of you guys say something?" Naruto asked before the world went black.
----
Hanabi was expecting pain. At least a broken limb, but she didn't feel any. Looking around she saw that she was indeed on the ground. Next to her stood two men wearing cloaks and straw hats, next to them sat a fox that appeared to be grinning. It was then she sensed movements from under her.
"Ant 'eath!"
Hanabi looked down and realized what had broken her fall. She also realized that she was literally sitting on the man's face. She began to blush furiously and quickly got off him and began to apologize.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to land on top of you!"
Naruto just laid there, trying to regain his breath. After a moment he got up and looked at the girl. She looked familiar but couldn't quite place her. He then noticed her eyes; they were just like Hinata's. 'Must be a relative' he thought to himself.
"No harm done," he said dusting himself off and flashing the girl a smile she couldn't see. Looking down he saw that his hat was ruined, it being crushed in the fall and began to frown
Hanabi nodded as she met his gaze. Instantly she was entranced by his eyes. They were such a beautiful blue. 'My god they're gorgeous' she thought to herself. She glanced at her watch and realized the time.
"Shit I'm late! I'm sorry for falling on you but I've got to go."
Naruto nodded to her as she turned to jump back to the rooftops.
'What a strange girl' Naruto thought as he watched her jump from roof to roof.
"Well boys, I think it's time we go get ourselves a drink or dozen."
----
The meeting hall was filled with kunoichi from all the ninja villages. There were even a few female civilians from the village as well. All were busy making small talk with each other. It was when a sweating Hanabi burst through the doors that the place grew silent. All eyes were on her.
'Looks like I made it in time' Hanabi thought to herself as she looked in the room. She spied her sister in the front of the room snickering at her appearance. Next to her were Ino, Sakura, Ten-ten, and Temari. Quietly she walked up to them and took a seat next to Temari. She was about to say something but was interrupted when someone tapped on her shoulder. Turning she saw Anko and Kurenai grinning.
"I see you finally went with my idea. Soon all the boys will be throwing themselves at you," Anko said with giggle.
Hanabi just sighed and slumped into her seat a bit farther. 'Hinata is so going to pay.'
The sound of someone walking up to the podium interrupted her thoughts. In front of stood Tsunade, she waited for the room to quiet down before speaking.
"Ok people. It's time for the meeting of the S.K.A.(2) to begin."
Hanabi tried to listen to the meeting but her thoughts kept drifting back to the man she met earlier. He felt familiar but she couldn't place him. The thought of what he would have looked like without mask on soon came to a head. 'If his eyes were any indication, he must be gorgeous.'
----
Naruto led the guys to a bar in a secluded section of town. The place looked a bit run down, but he heard good things about the place from Jiraiya. It was a place where most of the patrons were villagers, so there was little chance of being discovered. Entering quietly as possible, the four walked to the back of the joint and sat around a small table. They say for a few minutes before Naruto realized the place had no table service. With a sigh Naruto stood up and headed to the bar.
"Can I get four bottles of sake with a bottle of your strongest liquor? I'm also going to need four saucers along with two shot glasses please."
The bartender nodded to Naruto before turning to gather what he asked. Placing them on a tray with a bowl of sugar cubes a pitcher of ice water and a slotted spoon, he looked at Naruto.
"I got to warn you kid," The man said as he gestured to the bottle of green liquid, "This stuff is strong; my advice to you is to cut it with water that you pour over the cubes, hence the special spoon. It will be two hundred ryo by the way."
Naruto nodded to the man and reached into his cloak to grab his beloved frog wallet, only to be stopped when someone placed a hand on his shoulder. Turning he found himself staring at a masked man with silver hair. His visible eye formed an upside down U, signaling that the man was grinning under his mask.
"It's been a long time Naruto," Kakashi said as paid for Naruto's drinks.
Naruto stared at the man in disbelief. "How did you know it was me?"
"Well I can't see your face with the mask, but you can't hide this." He reached up and ruffled Naruto's hair, "Christ, how'd you get so damn big?"
"Finally took your advice and started eating right. Guess my body made up for lost time."
Kakashi nodded, "I take it your back for good now?"
"Yeah, damn Baa-Chan let them tear down my apartment, so I'm out of a home." He said with a frown. "But at least she gave me the land my old man left for me. Going to build a house with my friends."
Kakashi nodded once again. He figured out who Naruto's father was about a year after he left. With Naruto gone, he didn't get a chance to apologize to him, something he planned to make up for.
"Speaking of my friends, they're waiting for me to bring the drinks. Care to join us?"
"Sure"
Naruto grinned as he reached for the tray, oblivious to the white blur that was barreling towards him. He didn't see it till it was too late. With a sound that caused the bottles behind the bar to rattle. Naruto was knocked back while throwing the tray in the air. Luckily Kakashi was fast enough to save it. Leaving Naruto to deal with the large dog that was currently licking his face.
"What the hell, Akamaru?" Naruto said as he tried to lift the massive animal off him.
"Well shit, look who Akamaru found guys." A voice said from the entrance of the bar.
Turning his head to the side, he could see Kiba grinning at him, before taking a step forward. He was followed by the rest of the male members of the rookie nine with Asuma and Neji.
"Is that you Naruto?" Neji asked, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
Kiba smacked him upside the head and pointed to the man currently pinned under his dog. "Of course it's him, Akamaru smelled him when he got close to this place."
Soon the two were having a small argument. Ignoring Naruto's pleas for help. Luckily it was Shikimaru who helped Naruto get the dog off him.
"You know Naruto, even after you're gone for nine years, your still a pain in my ass."
Naruto glared at him for a moment before grinning. "I try"
"So Naruto, what brings you around these parts?" Chouji asked while eating a handful of nuts from the bar.
"Baa-Chan sent for me. But enough of that, I came here to have a drink with my friends. So you guys might as well join us."
Naruto glanced at the tray Kakashi was holding then back to the rest of his friends. 'Going to need more drinks' he thought to himself. Kakashi saw what Naruto was doing and understood. Signaling to the bartended he ordered another tray's worth of drinks and more glasses. With that done he turned to Naruto.
"Shall we?"
Naruto nodded and took one of the trays and headed to where his other friends were sitting with the others following behind him. When he got to the table, he noticed that Asuma and Kakashi were missing. Turning he saw them staring at Itachi and Kisame along with a fox. It was Asuma who spoke.
"What are you two doing here?!"
Kisame looked at the man and grinned.
"I believe we were trying to get drunk."
Naruto didn't know what happened between these four, but he wasn't going to let his evening get ruined. Placing the tray on the table, he turned and placed a hand on Asuma's shoulder.
"Guys, relax, these are my friends that I mentioned."
Kakashi leaned over to Naruto and whispered into his ear.
"You do realize those are two missing-nin, who I might add tried to capture you."
Naruto looked at him and shrugged before taking a seat next to Kyuubi. He watched the two jounin stand there, before he started pouring drinks. After pouring one for each of them, he poured two extra and handed them to Kisame. Who looked at them before glancing at Naruto. Realizing what they were for the large man stood up, picked them up, and walked over to Asuma and Kakashi. Shoving them into their hands, he said one thing.
"Drink"
Instantly the tense atmosphere was broken. Kakashi and Asuma looked at what they were holding, then to the shark-like man. He just flashed them a smile. Seeing that there wasn't going to be a fight anytime soon, they grabbed a chair and sat down next to them. The others soon followed suit. Kakashi lifted his mask to allow him to sip his drink and turned to Naruto.
"Naruto, I've been meaning to ask you this. I say you make it look good, but what's the deal with the mask?"
"Well, it hides my face. Without it, my life gets more troublesome, as Shikimaru would put it."
"How so?"
Naruto pulled it down, revealing his face. Instantly he could feel many sets of eyes upon him. All of them female, while he wanted to put it back. He couldn't drink with it on.
Kakashi noticed all the women in the bar were staring at Naruto's face. Some were even beginning to drool.
"I see. It is indeed a curse the two of us have to bear." The older man said with a smile.
Naruto chuckled as he took a sip of his sake, doing his damndest to ignore the looks. Soon everyone was on their way to total inebriation. Somehow the conversation turned into one about each other's experiences for the past nine years.
"So Naruto, what the hell have you been up to?" Kiba asked.
"You know the usual, train, beat, bad guys, and rescue women in need."
Kakashi started to grin, "Rescue women you say? I'm sure they were very appreciative of your efforts Naruto. Please give details."
Naruto took on a look of horror. 'God, why did I mention women? I hope those two can keep their mouths shut.' Naruto thought. Unluckily for him Kisame began to speak.
"You could say that, Kakashi."
"But it seems kit is a bit green when it comes to women. Even though he still acts perverted at times," Kyuubi said as he took a sip from a saucer, ignoring the stares that were being focused on him.
"Did that fox just talk?" Chouji asked.
"Talk? The frigging thing just took a saucer and drank from it!" Kiba exclaimed.
"How did he hold the saucer?" Shino asked, the only words he spoke so far this evening.
Kyuubi laughed before raising a paw. With all attention on him, he showed that he could move one of his toes into a makeshift thumb.
"Quit showing off, ya damn lush of a fox," Naruto said to Kyuubi before turning back to his friends. "So what about you guys? Any of you finally get girlfriends?"
All of them nodded with perverted grins.
"So who's the lucky kunoichi?"
"None of them," Asuma stated as he poured himself another drink.
"Huh?"
"Female ninja are more troublesome than they're worth. Ask Asuma," Shikimaru said as he lit up a cigarette.
"What's he mean Asuma?"
"Kurenai wanted me to quit smoking. Of course I wasn't going to stop, so she ended up placing me in a genjutsu. Let me say this, it wasn't pretty. Needless to say kunoichi aren't worth it. Too damn bossy."
With that said, the rookie nine said an "Amen."
"I feel ya," Naruto said as he reached for the hard liquor, "I think it's time to kick it up a notch."
----
"Ok, the last thing said before this meeting of the S.K.A. is concluded is this. Jiraiya has been caught peeping at a village a day away from here. Because of this, the H.S.P.A.(3) has been raised to red. I advise staying away from the hot springs, if you must go, be wary."
Tsunade stepped down from the podium, signaling the end of the meeting. Hanabi missed most of it, lost in her thoughts she was. She wanted to meet that man again. Wanted to see what was under the mask. She realized halfway through the meeting, that her bloodline would be able to penetrate it without him being none the wiser. She was pulled from her thoughts when her sister and her friends got up and headed towards the door. Following behind them, she could hear them talk about one of the main problems affecting the group.
"God isn't there any decent men left in this village?!" Ino exclaimed.
"There used to be many willing men, till a certain woman tortured a certain man," Ten-ten said as she glared at Kurenai.
"Hey, I didn't think it would go this far" Kurenai said in an attempt to defend her actions.
"Too far?! None of them will give us the time of day now!"
"Well at least you don't have to worry about a crazy brother," Temari said.
"Shit, you guys are fucking lucky you have decent guys to look at. All we have is that dick Kabuto," a voice said from behind them.
Turning they saw an angry looking red head.
"Tayuya, you're just mad at him because he saved you. You can't say he doesn't make a decent kage," a black haired girl said from behind her.
"He's still a dick."
Kin sighed and shook her head. Not noticing Tsunade walking up to them.
"I think you girls are going to be in for a surprise then. My sources said a very handsome individual has returned to the village," Tsunade said as she walked past.
The Konoha Kunoichi looked at each other, trying to figure out what she meant.
----
A cold feeling ran up Naruto's spine, causing him to shudder. 'That can't be a good sign' he thought.
"Anyone else see the pretty green fairy?" Neji asked as he tried to grasp something the others couldn't see.
'Not a good sign at all.'

A/N: Well another chapter up. A nice long one. I think I'm going to keep the rest around this length, gives me plenty to work with. The next chapter will get into a bit of Naruto's past and begin the hell his life will become. As always read and review. Another question for you guys. What's the liquor that Naruto ordered? There are two clues.
