I am here to bring you more Naruto awesomeness! As I said in my profile, I won't be a consistent post-er, like I would hope, but I will do my best. I won't promise anything because life and technology tend to hate me at alternating times, so yeah... Anyway, on to the story!

Sorry about the false update, had to change the title. I don't really like this one, but it fits better. If you have a better title say it in a review and I'll change it. Sorry it took so long, now, on to the story. I plan to have another chapter up by the end of the week, we'll see.

Disclaimer: If I did not put one, who would think I actually owned Naruto? I mean seriously people, come on.

Traveling

"Naruto, go get some water from the river back there. After breakfast we're heading out. Take Sasuke with you, too. I need my time away from him already." Jiraiya said as he was poking the fire.

"Whatever you say, Ero-Sennin, whatever you say. Let's go Teme. The faster we get this over with the sooner we can get home." Naruto announced as he picked up the six canteens and headed in the direction of the river.

"Hn." Was Sasuke's only response to Naruto.

They were halfway to the river, a good enough distance that Jiraiya would not be able to hear them, when Naruto turned to Sasuke and stopped walking.

"I'm sick of your 'I'm better than everybody' attitude. What will it take to get you to drop it? Sakura will be happy that you are back, but seeing you as stuck up and arrogant as ever can't possibly make her that much happier. I didn't go through all of this to get you back just for you to brood in your mansion again!" Naruto looked like he was about to pummel him.

"I'll stop being 'broody' when you learn to fly. Now leave me alone Dobe." Sasuke then walked around Naruto grabbing his two canteens.

Naruto stared blankly at where Sasuke stood a second ago. He quickly gathered his wits, pivoted on his heel, and marched after Sasuke. "I made a promise that I would always do my best to make Sakura-Chan happy, no matter the cost. If the only way to get her happy is to get him off his podium, and the only way to do that is to learn to fly, then I'm just going to have to learn how to fly. Yes, that's it, I'll just learn how to fly. How hard could it be?" Naruto mentally pumped himself for what he thought to be an easy task.

"Pathetic human. Do you honestly believe You will be able to learn how to fly? Few demons can even master the technique, and they all have wings as it is. There is no physical way for you to accomplish this feat. Give up before you kill both of us from exhaustion." The Kyuubi warned from inside Naruto's head. He wouldn't generally be so caring, but it involved him living aswell, so as such, it was important he intervene.

"Oh great, you again. What will it take for you to permanently shut up? I'm working on getting everyone to stop being a stuck-up Asshole, might as well get you, too." Naruto said to the demon fox. He was expecting a sarcastic remark, but what he got surprised him.

"If you can manage to become the leader of your puny village, get that girl you keep dreaming of as your mate, and learn to fly on top of it I might, let me emphasize, MIGHT, stop. Oh, and all before you are Twenty-five. Might add a better twist." The Kyuubi responded after a second of thought. It shocked Naruto, what he wanted that is. All of those things would help him, aswell as the end result. So what would the Fox gain out of this?

"What do you get out of me completing those, you damn fox?"

"Me? Oh, nothing much. I just get to watch all of your failures. Every last one of them. It will be amusing, ne? The fox all but laughed in Naruto's face.

"I'll show you, you damn fox." "I'll show you all! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and you better believe I'll do it!"

Up ahead at the river, Sasuke smirked. "Good luck, Naruto."

"Naruto, what are you doing? Get to sleep, we arrive in Konoha tomorrow. You wouldn't want to be asleep for our welcome, would you?" Jiraiya said groggily. It was around midnight, well into the time they should be sleeping. Naruto was in a different part of the clearing they were currently camped in, stringing together a bunch a hand signs in a pattern Jiraiya had never seen before. He watched carefully to see what was happening.

"This has got to work, I have a bunch of the hand signs common in air jutsu together. I'm almost out of chakra though, so if this doesn't work I'm either unconscious or dead. Oh well, here goes nothing." Naruto had been thinking almost the same thing for the past few hours. He had been trying to create a flight jutsu and was failing. Unlike the Tsuchikage who really just hid dust in his cloths that he controlled to fly, he was trying to get an actual flight jutsu.

"Here we go!" As he hit the last hand sign he felt the air around him change, and he slowly got pulled off the ground. He couldn't believe it, he was actually flying! He looked towards their camp to see that Jiraiya was walking towards it, carrying something. It kind of looked like a person, but he was too far away and it was too dark for him to be able to tell. He tried walking over but remember he was flying, so he tried to fly over. He felt exhausted, so he opted to land and walk over. "Crap!" he thought, "how am I supposed to land?" He shouted in his mind. Once the words sounded he started to descend.

After he hit ground he took off running towards Jiraiya. When he caught up he saw Jiraiya was indeed carrying someone, and it was him! He closed his eyes and began to panic before he felt another pain in his ribs. He opened his eyes to find Sasuke starring down at him. His face was covered in sweat, and Sasuke's head shaded him from the bright morning's daylight. He looked around to find himself in the clearing, tangled up in his sleeping bag. He saw Jiraiya packing up his sleeping bag and other materials, saw Sasuke's stuff already gathered, and the fire put out.

Naruto quickly stood up. "Am I really me?" he asked, trying to pat down his body to make sure he was actually there.

"How hard did you hit your head when you fell, Dobe? You're fine. You passed out from chakra exhaustion after a ball of air covered you and exploded. It had water droplets and embers in it, aswell. What jutsu did you use?" Sasuke asked. He had seen some pretty interesting jutsu while under Orochimaru, but the thought of a new one that could actually cause a crater intrigued him.

Naruto looked over to the part of the clearing he had been practicing in. He saw a crater bigger than when Tsunade demonstrated her strength after the battle with Orochimaru just to prove to him she wasn't that weak. "Di- did I do that?" He asked as he raised a shaky finger at the crater.

"Yeah, you did. Now hurry up and pack up so we can get back and I can do some more research." Jiraiya said impatiently. As much as he was amazed at the boys strength and ability to make a new devastating jutsu in under a month he would wait to talk about it until he was in the confines of a safer place.

"R-right, Ero-Sennin. I'll be packed in a minute." Naruto said, still a little shaken. He would have to file that string of hand signs away for later exploration, he might have something good. However, as for now he wasn't any closer to getting himself in the air.

"To Konoha! We have Ten more hours of traveling and we will be there. Are you guys ready?" Jiraiya announced proudly. Sasuke gave his normal grunt and Naruto just nodded. "Alright then! Move out!"

"So Naruto, what are you going to do when we get back to the village?" Jiraiya asked, trying to pass time. They had been moving for six hours straight without a sound from either one of them, and he was getting annoyed. He could see the Uchiha being quite, he was before he left, but Naruto was supposed to be loud and brash, even if he had matured. There must be something wrong, but it wasn't the time yet. So Jiraiya figured starting a general conversation would be the best.

"Train."

Jiraiya's face fell. What got into him? He was acting more and more like Sasuke the longer they were closer together.

"Make sure you fix the new jutsu of yours. If you hit me with it again I'll have no choice but to kill. That's a promise." Sasuke responded, looking over at Naruto.

"Is it just me, or does it seem like they switched personalities?" "Okay guys, let's hurry up. I haven't researched in a week so we could get you boys back, and if you make me waste more research time I'll have to hurt you." At this both Naruto and Sasuke subtly started increasing their speed.

After another hour of travel and extremely minimal conversation Jiraiya was starting to say something as both Naruto got shot away from them, into Sasuke, effectively taking him with him. As the smoke and debris cleared, Jiraiya looked around to notice their bodies had gone into the air and started hurtling away from him at a high speed. He quickly took off in pursuit.

Sasuke noticed the task of sitting up to be quite difficult, and for some reason he heard breathing in his head. He paid no attention, figuring his adrenaline was causing him to hear his own breathing. He felt a faint chakra from behind where he was looking, so he tried to activate his sharingan just to realize he couldn't. He heard a voice inside his head that was a deep growl.

"Why am I surrounded by the Uchiha's scent!" the Kyuubi roared. Sasuke did a quick meditation to see what was happening and nearly shit himself when he saw the Kyuubi trotting around, completely unrestricted, looking at all of what he thought to be memories. Upon sensing a presence, the Kyuubi looked over to Sasuke and bared his fangs. "Care to explain why I am in your head?"

Naruto chose this time to wake up, and realized the world looked extremely different. Everything was moving, and it wasn't like he was dizzy, it was all like solid chakra. He heard a scream from his right and turned to see the Kyuubi's chakra begin to leak out of Sasuke. "Sasuke! What's happe-"

He was cut short when another explosion happened sending them both deeper in the ground they were currently sitting. He got up quicker than Sasuke this time and realized he could see normally. He jumped up, looked down at Sasuke, and saw that he no long had Kyuubi chakra leaking from him, and the very light whisker marks that began to appear disappeared. He jumped down and grabbed Sasuke before jumping back up and putting him on the flat ground. Sasuke awoke and looked around. "Fill in those holes. We speak of this to no one, do you understand?" Sasuke all but ordered.

"Whatever. And here I thought you were getting better." Naruto quickly drew a seal and placed it on the ground. The earth began to reform and filled in as if they were never there.

"I felt this strange chakra signal, help me look for it. My eyes aren't responding." Sasuke said as he stood up. Naruto had already stood and turned to look at Sasuke. He saw a tree a little way off and started walking towards it without thinking. Sasuke noticed this and followed him. "Where do you think you're going, Dobe? What's so special about that tree?" Just as they got to it, Naruto bit his thumb and smeared the blood over the wood. The Uzumaki symbol appeared on the ground and just as Jiraiya landed next to them they got surrounded by a beam of light and disappeared.

"Na- Naruto. I l-l-love!" Sakura promptly sat up in her bed. She looked around to find her room was still as empty as ever. She hung her head low to look at he hands that found their way to her lap. "You." She stood up and looked out her window. It was really a quite beautiful day. "Naruto, I want you to come back home. Please get here soon." She then went to start her day. Again.
