Sora was now walking along the trail to the Hokage office. Also, along the way, he met up with Kiba and Akamaru. " Hey Sora!!!! Long time no see!!" " Same to you, Kiba." Sora said waving. As they got to eachother, they talked a bit while they were walking towards the hokage tower. " So, how's the exams so far?" Kiba scoffed at that. " Hmpf. Naruto somehow beat me in the preliminaries. I tell ya, I was shocked. I didn't know such a pipsqueak like Naruto would beat me." Sora then looked like he was about to teach Kiba something. " you know the saying: Don't judge a book by its cover. Just because Naruto looks weak doesn't mean he IS weak." " Yeah, I guess you're right, but still, he got the lowest grades in the academy." " Well..." Sora started. " People can sometimes change in the shortest amount of times." " Yeah, I guess." Kiba said. Just then, they arrived at the tower. " Well, I better take Akamaru home. See ya Sora!" " See ya, Kiba." The two friends waved goodbye as Sora went into the tower.

When he got to the office, two ANBU were in his way. " Halt! State your business." " I came to speak with the hokage." The ANBU thought for a moment. " Hold on." He goes into the office. As Sora waited, he heard the ANBU consulting with the hokage. Finally, the door opened. " Very well, you may enter." In a few minutes, Sora entered the room to see a very busy old man. " Uh, hi?" Sarutobi turned to see Sora standing there. After an extremely large sweatdrop, Sarutobi smiled and welcomed Sora with great kindness. " Sora! It's so nice to see you again back in Konoha!! About how you challenged that organization, and how you teamed up with Naruto to defeat that member was simply amazing."

Sora was honored for a bit, but then curiosity got the best of him. " Wait a minute. Hokage sir, how do you know about that? You weren't there when it happened." Sarutobi chuckled a bit. " Naruto and his friends told me all about it." Sora froze like stone right on the spot. " E-e-e-e-everything?" Sora stuttered quietly. Sarutobi thought for a moment. " Well, they said something about you going against an organization that plans to harm others, about you having a kekke genkai (spelling?), and about your friends, uh..( looks at paper.) What does that say? Ritsu? Kbri? Ugh, these old eyes of mine." Sarutobi then pulled out a drawer, and withdrawed a pair of reading glasses. " Ah, that's better. Uh, yes! Riku and Kairi." " Yeah, they're my friends." Sora said, smiling. Sarutobi also smiled. " Anyway, I suspect you'll be staying for a while?"

Sora rubbed the back of his head. " Yeah, I guess." " Well, like last time, you'll be staying with Mrs. Haruno. Go there at any time you like." Sora then bowed. " Thank you." But before Sora left, he turned to the Hokage. " But sir, when I arrived here, I was attacked by this very weird guy." Sarutobi thought for a minute. " Really? Hmmm... What were his defining characteristics?" Sora thought for a minute, then a visible thought bubble came up. " Well, he was a tall guy that was EXTREMELY pale, like chalk-white, he had some regular civilian cloths, a weird purple belt, long black hair, purple streaks around the edges of his nose, and the weirdest thing is he had eyes that looked like a snake's."

At this, Sarutobi paled greatly. Sora saw this, and seemed a bit concerned. " Lord Hokage, are you alright?" Sarutobi was in a bit of a daze, but then shook it off. " Err, it's nothing, really. Anyway, please be off to your own business. Nothing personal, it's just that I would want to get this paper work done before my deathbed." Sora laughed a bit at this, and so did Sarutobi. " Alright, thanks Hokage sir." Sora then turned and left. When he left, Saru let out a very heavy sigh. " Oh, no, he's back. What does he want this time?!"

( Village roads)

Sora was just walking around, doing nothing but look at the scenes around him. everything was so peacefull, until a certain blond-haired kunoichi jumped on him. " Sora!! Long time, no see!!!" Ino said with a light blush. " Yeah, it's been a while." Sora said, smiling back. Shortly, after Ino came up, Shikamaru and Choji did as well. " Well, well. If it isn't Sora. What's been goin' on?" Shikamaru asked with very little interest. " Nothing, just fighting off heartless, nobodies, etc. etc." Sora said, as if this was an everyday thing for him ( which, technically, it is.). " Wow, (munch, munch) that's a lot (munch) of (swallow) work." Choji said, eating his favorite barbecue flavored chips.

" Meh. You get used to it after a while." Just then, a tall guy, who looked very angry by the way, came up to Choji and yelled, " Hey!! You owe me 50 ryo for that fatty!!!" At this, Choji lowered his head. " Oh, boy, better get out of here. C'mon Sora." Ino said, walking away with Ino and Shikamaru following. After a while, they heard a scream that would even send chills down Orochimaru's back. " I'M NOT FAT!!!! I'M PLEASANTLY PLUMP!!!!!!"

At this shout, the three dashed for their lives as they heard mass destruction coming from the other direction. When they stopped, they nearly fell to the dirt road due to them being in an extreme state of exhaustion. " A bit of advice to you Sora, NEVER call Choji fat." " I HEARD THAT SHIKAMARU!!!!" " Crap!!!" Shikamaru then ran away with Choji high on his tail. All who were left were Ino and Sora. " Uh, anyway, i've got to go to the house i'm staying at. C'ya Ino!!" " C'ya Sor----whoaa!!" Ino tripped in Sora's direction, fell on Sora, who in turn fell down, and they both ended up in the same situation before with Sakura. Both blushing, they went their seperate ways.

(Haruno Household)

Sakura was yet again blushing at the thought of Sora staying with her again. " This time, i'll be brave." Sakura said with determination. All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. A bit excited, Sakura ran to the door and opened it. " Come in, Sora."
