Hey guys
Hey guys! I am now introducing the post time skip era! Now since they are going through puberty and have raging hormones, I am going to change some of their attitudes and reactions. I'll try to keep their personalities the same, but only older and not as innocent.
You will see when u read this chapter. As I said before I am introducing a love triangle into my story. James, I think you will enjoy this pairing! Hehe
Disclaimer: this is pointless. Who would sue me? I gots no money….. :(
P.S. im am changing the entire first episode of shippuden so forget about that episode and don't complain "that's not what happened!" cuz im not listening!
"It's good to be back!" Naruto shouted from atop a large pole.
He couldn't wait to meet all his friends and see how they changed. It had been almost three years since he saw them.
"WOOHOO!!" Naruto shouted as he jumped from the pole.
"Hey! Quiet down!" A familiar voice shouted.
Naruto turned only to see his old friend Kiba riding on the back of a huge white dog.
"Kiba! How have you been doing?"
"Naruto? Is that you?
"Yep!"
Kiba ran up to his friend and playfully slugged him in the shoulder. "It's been forever, man! When did you get back?
"Only a few moments ago. H-Hey… whose dog is that?"
"You idiot. Don't you recognize Ackamaru?"
"What!? That giant dog is Ackamaru?"
"Is he really that big to you?"
"To me? HE used to ride on YOUR head! Now look at him!"
"Hmm… I guess you're right. I never really noticed."
"Ahem. It's about time you two notice I'm here."
Naruto turned towards the mysterious voice only to see someone in a dark trench coat and glasses leaning against a tree.
Kiba sighed. "Shino! Stop being so depressing!"
"That's S-Shino?! I didn't even recognize him in that outfit!"
You should remember your comrade's faces. That way, you won't hurt their feelings when you meet."
"Like I could even see your face under that hood!" Naruto argued.
"Eep!"
"Hmm?" Naruto turned around. "Did you guys hear that?"
Shino and Kiba shared a look that seemed to say "Uh-oh".
Naruto walked towards the sound. He turned a corner barely avoiding running into a very pretty girl.
"H-Hey Kiba! Who is this beautiful girl? I don't recognize her!"
"You dunce! That's Hinata!"
"H-H-H-Hinata?" Naruto's face flushed with embarrassment. However, it was nowhere near as red as Hinata's.
… Beautiful? Naruto thinks I'm beautiful? She had almost fainted at seeing him, but what he had said made her freeze.
Naruto quickly recovered from his embarrassment and pulled Hinata into a deep hug. "Long time no see! Did you get my letter?"
Still blushing and barely managing to stay conscious, Hinata smiled. "Y-Yes. It really helped me out."
Kina smirked. "Are you kidding? Hinata didn't even talk until-"
Kiba was interrupted as Hinata rammed her elbow into his side.
"That's great!" Naruto said, totally oblivious to Hinata's elbow and crimson blush.
"Anyways…" Naruto began. " I was thinking about throwing a little reunion by the lake tomorrow. Do you guys think you could come?
"I don't kn-" Kiba was once again interrupted by Hinata's elbow.
"Of c-course! We will be there!" Hinata promised
Naruto broke out into a huge grin. "Great! I'll go invite everyone else!"
With this, Naruto ran off looking for his other friends. However, as soon as he was out of sight, Hinata began to panic.
What will I say to him? I haven't seen him in three years! I wonder what he looks like in a swimsuit… and what am I going to wear!?
"Hinata! Where are you going?!" Kiba shouted as Hinata ran off towards the Konoha shopping district.
Meanwhile, Naruto was searching for the rest of his friends. He figured Chouji would be the easiest to find so he headed towards Chouji's favorite barbeque restaurant.
Just as he had expected, Chouji was sitting in a booth with a steaming pile of pork in front of his face. What he had not expected was to also find Ino and Shikamaru sitting with Chouji.
"You know something, Chouji? If you spent hapf the time training as you did eating, you would be the greatest ninja in Konoha! You really…."
Ino trailed off as she noticed a super hot blonde standing by the entrance. Who is that total hottie? I think I should get to know him better!
Ino waved her hand to the cute guy, inviting him to their table
Seeing Ino's wave, Naruto broke into a huge grin, which nearly caused Ino to faint.
"Hey guys! What's up?"
"N-Nothing at all! Why don't you join us for lunch?" Ino said giving Naruto a very "inviting" smile.
Naruto smiled back and sat next to Ino.
Ino scooted right over next to him. "Here. Let me serve you." Ino said as she placed the finest pork slices onto Naruto's plate.
Shikamaru and Chouji gawked as Ino fawned all over Naruto. She was feeding him with her own chopsticks and even wiping his mouth for him!
Finally, after all the food was gone, Ino gave Naruto a more than friendly smile. "So…what's your name, cutie?"
Suddenly, Naruto began to feel very awkward.
Shikamaru and Chouji's jaws dropped. "Um, Ino? That's Naruto." Shikamaru whispered into Ino's ear.
"WHAT?!" That can't be! He's even cuter than Sasuke!
Naruto began to feel out of place, so he decided it was time to leave.
Naruto stood up. "Anyways, before I leave, I wanted to ask you guys if you could come to a reunion party at the lake tomorrow."
"Yes! We'll be there!" Ino said loudly. So what if it's Naruto. He is still cute as hell!
"Troublesome girl…"Shikamaru muttered.
"Great! Well, I'll see you there!" Naruto said and walked out of the restaurant.
"Omigosh! I need to buy a new swimsuit!" Ino yelled as she also ran out of the restaurant,
"Troublesome girl… She was supposed to pay…" Shikamaru complained as he reached for his wallet.
Meanwhile, Naruto continued to search for the rest of his friends. There was one person in particular whom he was excited to see again, and he knew exactly where to find him.
Naruto headed towards one of the training grounds deep within the forest. As he got closer he could hear the faint sounds of someone kicking a tree.
Naruto burst through the clearing, shouting his friend's name. "Lee!"
Lee turned around, surprised that someone was invading his training area. He was even more surprised to see such a familiar face.
"Naruto? Is that you?"
"Sure is!"
"Naruto! It's been three years!" Lee said, embracing his friend. "You sure have grown!"
"Yeah! And I learned this really amazing jutsu I wanted to show you!"
"What is it?"
"Well… I've invited everyone to the lake tomorrow and I was thinking about showing everyone the jutsu then."
"Cool! I may have to cut my morning training early, but I will be there!" Lee shouted giving Naruto the "Nice Guy" pose.
"Sweet. Also I-"
Suddenly there was a rustling in the bushes next to Lee.
"Hey, Lee-baby? Are you still out here?" Tenten asked, climbing out of a bush.
'Lee-Baby?' Naruto mouthed to Lee.
Lee blushed and shrugged silently.
"Oh my… Is that Naruto?" Tenten gasped.
"Yep! Listen, I'm throwing a reunion party and the lake tomorrow. Be there and bring Neji and Lee-baby." Naruto laughed and walked off leaving Tenten and Lee blushing fiercely.
Sakura's the only person left to invite… Naruto though as he raced towards the Konoha hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, it didn't take long for Naruto to find Sakura. Her vibrant pink hair was hard to miss.
Naruto smiled to himself when he saw her. She looked exactly the same as she did three years ago.
"Hey, Sakura!"
Sakura gasped. "No way… Is that really you, Naruto?"
"Of course!" Naruto beamed.
Sakura smiled warmly. "It's been sooo long! What have you been up to?"
"Well… I had to- GAH!" Naruto yelled in pain and Sakura drove her fist into his stomach.
"YOU DIDN'T EVEN SEND ME ONE LETTER! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I WAS?" Sakura screamed causing several nearby patients to cower in fear.
"Ugh… well… I was so busy training that I didn't really have time to send letters to anyone." Except Hinata…
"Naruto? Did you want something?" Sakura asked impatiently.
"Oh yeah. Do you think you could come to the lake tomorrow? I'm throwing a reunion party there!"
"Sure! I'll get Yui to cover my shift."
"Great. Well, see you there!" Naruto waved and walked out of the hospital.
Meanwhile, at a swimsuit store, Hinata had a very difficult decision to make.
Should I wear a one-piece or a two-piece? The two-piece is cute and will show off my stomach. Will Naruto like that? Or maybe he'll think I'm a slut. On the other hand, the one-piece is pretty, but will it make me look immature? I don't want Naruto to think I'm too innocent… or do I? I want to look grown-up, but I don't want to be half naked…
"Oh! I don't know which one to pick!" Hinata yelled in frustration.
"Hmm? Is that you, Hinata?"
"Ino? What are you doing here?"
"Buying a swimsuit of course!"
"What for?"
"To attract a certain cute guy." Ino held up a very small and revealing bikini.
"Oh… Maybe you can help me? Which do you think Na- I mean a boy would like better? This one-piece or that two-piece?"
"Definitely the two piece! He will be after your body in seconds!"
My body? I don't want Naruto after me like that… "B-But I think that-"
"Just get the two piece!" Ino shouted impatiently.
Suddenly, defiance arose in Hinata. "I think I'll get the one-piece." As she reached to pick out the one-piece, something caught her eye.
She reached out and pulled out a blue one-piece. However, on the stomach, It had a swirl mark very similar to the one that was on Naruto's jacket. Hinata figured that with some small stitching it would be identical to Naruto's swirl.
Hinata grabbed the swimsuit and headed for the counter along with Ino.
"So… Just who is this boy you're trying to impress?" Ino asked
Hinata gasped and her face would have made a tomato jealous. "N-Nobody!"
Ino laughed. "Too shy? That's ok. But if you don't confess to Naruto soon, somebody might snatch him up."
Hinata nearly fainted. "I-I never said it was N-Naruto!"
"You didn't say it wasn't." Ino smirked.
"He's a great guy. He never gives up and his friends are the most important things to him. Not to mention he's a total hottie!" Ino giggled.
Hinata smiled. "Yeah… I guess your right. He is pretty cute."
"Yeah! I wonder what he looks like in a swimsuit." Ino fantasized.
Hinata's eyes lowered in suspicion, but the thought of Naruto in a swimsuit was too much for her and it soon invaded her every thought.
Afterward, the two girls bade their farewells, swimsuits clutched tightly in their arms. Ino headed towards home, her mind racing.
I know Hinata really likes Naruto, but so do I! And she hasn't made a move at all! But still, she is shy and if I stole him away, it would break her heart. OK! I'll give her a month. If she hasn't made a move then, I will ask Naruto out myself! But could I really hurt Hinata like that? After all she is my friend…
Ino grumbled. She knew she wouldn't sleep much tonight.
Hinata, also, was still up. She had stayed up most of the night, stitching her swimsuit. It was perfect. She couldn't wait to show it to him. However, images of Naruto in a swimsuit continued to pummel her imagination.
It was obvious that Hinata wouldn't get much sleep tonight.
Meanwhile, Naruto was lying in his bed, wide awake.
Hinata is soo cute! And when we hugged… she was so soft! Wait! What am I thinking? Am I turning into Jiraya? I wonder what she looks like in a swimsuit?
Naruto didn't get a lot sleep that night.
