Chapter 5: Explanations and Reunions

(Top of Hokage Monument)

"That would be our doing." All but Naruto looked to the source of the new voice.

There by the edge of the forest stood six figures. They were only wearing the same black cloak that Naruto had on. All three of the figures were women and the other three were little girls. All of the women look all but similar to one another, all but their hair. The three girls stood in front of one of the tree women and again looked similar to one another with their hair being the only thing to tell them apart.

"They must be mother and daughter in order to look alike to the grown-ups?" thought Sarutobi. He took a good look at all to see if he could tell them all apart.

The first one he saw was the one to the left of him. She had bright red hair that reached down to her lower back and very smooth cream like skin. She looked to be a good seven feet tall. He also noticed that she had red eyes, almost of that of a ruby. The girl in front of her might as well have been a clone copy of her from hair, eyes and skin. In fact the only difference was that she looked about 4.7 feet tall.

After seeing those two the remaining four was not that hard to see how they were different. All of them had smooth white skin, were the same height as the following two and had hair that reached mid-way down.

In fact the only way to tell them apart was that the two who was in the middle had black hair and light brown eyes. The last two had light brown hair and dark brown eyes. As they all had the same black cloak Naruto had.

Speaking of which, Naruto was staring at Hinata with a look of disgust as Hinata was looking at the new comers.

"Who are you and how did you all get here?" Sarutobi said as both Cat and Anko got into fighting stance.

"An old man who looks to be over the age of a 100 and has people follow his every order, you must be Hiruzen Sarutobi." said the brown haired women.

"An ANBU with purple like hair and wears a cat mask, you must be Yūgao Uzuki." said the black haired women.

"And finally a women who has purple like hair and wears a fishnet suit and has eyes that look like they belong to someone insane, you must be Anko Mitarashi." said the red haired.

Again everyone in question eyes went wide. The Hokage was about to say what were on mines of everyone but only to be stopped by Naruto's voice. "It's alright old man. They're with me. They won't hurt anyone as long as you stay on my good side"

The Hokage didn't know what to do at this point but to put his trust in the hands of Naruto. "Very well boy. Would you mind introducing them to use because they seem to know use already."

"We're sorry how could we have forgotten our manners," said the red head, "I'm Kura and this little one in front of me is Mia my daughter."

"My name is Kat," said the black haired women.

"And I'm Kira her daughter." said the little black haired girl.

"That leaves use," said the brown haired women, "My name is Aki and like the other two this is my daughter Kyo."

Even with their names, the Hokage and his two kunoichi still didn't know if they were to trust them. Before any of them could say a thing, they heard the voice of Naruto.

"Please Hinata why is that on your head."

"Well you see… I um… this is…" Hinata had no words for this. Anko thought that they could tell him a small lie till he could understand what it was. However, that plan went out the window when Naruto said,

"I know that is the Hyūga clan's Cage Bird Seal. My question is why is that on your head. I thought you were from the main branch."

Said seal was a green "X" like shape on the middle of her forehead with what look like a small hook on each side with the right hook was pointed up and the other was pointing down.

Naruto suddenly came to a scary conclusion. "Hinata did you get that because of me."

Her face became shock that he would ask her that. "Tell me Hinata did you get that because I save you from those bullies."

Hinata lowered her head. She knew why she got the seal on her head, but was scared to tell him because it did have to do with Naruto.

She took in a deep breath and looked him in the eye. "Naruto," she stared, "I have the seal because I'm no longer a member of the Hyūga clan."

This gave Naruto and Kura confused look as they each tried to figure out what she meant. Nevertheless, Hinata continued,

"I was forced to leave the clan because I was seen as weak. I'm no longer a Hyūga and thanks to Anko and Yūgao I learned to become strong and to not be afraid. However, I must tell you the truth."

Naruto raised an eyebrow at that but allowed her to finish what she had to say.

"You said if you were to blame for the seal being placed on my head. Will that can be a little bit true."

Naruto was shocked but let her finished what she had to say.

"I say this because the reason I was so weak was because I was worried about you. I thought the boy who saved me came from a good household. I thought that you were amazing that you went so far to help someone you barely knew. I hated how my family talked about you that very same day and every other day I ask about you. It wasn't till the day I ask Anko to help me, where I heard everything about. You had no family, you were hurt so many times and not many cared about you. It was then that I made up my mind," she pulled him in to a hug. "I will become strong, so if ever met the boy who helped me, I'll be his friend and help him reach his dreams," She looked him the eye, "Please Naruto don't blame yourself for this, it's not your fault. But I want to tell you thank you, thank you for giving me a reason to fight. I ask you for one more favor, can I be your friend and help one another to be strong and to not be alone anymore."

She took a step back and looked at him. She looked about she was about to cry but Naruto can tell that she was strong to hold it back.

"Of course Hinata, you can always be my friend and of course I'll help you along the way." Naruto gave his fox smile to her. Everyone had a smile on their face. They like to see that the two hit things off very well.

"However," Naruto said, "before we become friends I want to help you get rid of that seal that's on your head."

The Hokage was the first to answer, "Naruto the Hyūga Bird Seal is a seal that was meant to keep their eyes from getting into the wrong hands. It is impossible to remove the seal unless the person loses the eyes or dies but even then the seal will still be on the person's forehead."

"I know that old man. That's why I'm going to give Hinata a new bloodline." Everyone's eyes widen at the thought that anyone can give someone a bloodline. Before anyone could question the idea, a blur ran right past them. When the blur stop, they saw the women called Aki right behind Naruto with her hands on his shoulders.

"Naruto we've been through this already. You can't use that, you might cause Hinata harm."

"I know but I would rather go through with harm her this way then let her so call 'family' control her life."

Aki looked at Hinata, "Very well, but tell Hinata your plan before going through with this."

"I know. Hinata I want to give you a new bloodline but you must put your fate in me." Hinata just stared at him, trying to figure out what he wanted to do, "I can remove that seal if I give you a new bloodline but if I fail at doing it correctly you might go blind until I can do it again."

"Naruto just what are you trying to do?" Anko asked.

"Naruto is trying to use a jutsu he learned." said Kura who was standing next to Anko, "Like he said he can give her a new bloodline but if he fails at doing it he can make her go blind intel he does it again. We will explain later right now we need to know if Hinata wants to go through with it. Sorry Hokage but you have no say in this because this has to do with Hinata and Hinata alone."

The Hokage said nothing but watch what was going to happen. "Naruto you haven't even join the academy and you say you can do a jutsu that can give a bloodline to somebody. What happen to you out there?"

"Very well," The Hokage was pulled out of thought by Hinata's voice. "I trust you Naruto."

With nothing more said, Naruto took a couple steps back and Aki got out of the way. When he was far away he made a hand seal and closed his eyes. Everyone watched to see what would happen. It didn't take long for them to feel a difference in the air. Naruto then put his left arm on his shoulders and his right arm lower down as he crouched down.

Everyone watched as the wind stated to pick up and his right arm was glowing al light blue color.

"Uzumaki style:" he whispered. Within a blink an eye Naruto vanish, only to reappear in front of Hinata. His left hand was now on Hinata's right shoulder and his blue glowing hand was on her forehead. "Dōjutsu Metamorphosis"

As soon as those words were said, all the blue that was on Naruto's arm began to glow brighter. The wind itself began to blow hard due to the force of the jutsu. Everyone shield their eyes due to the blue light and the dirt that the winds were throw around wasn't make it easy to see.

Then it stopped. Everyone remove their hands over their eyes to see some smoke of dirt still blocking their view of the two kids. When it finally settled, they say Naruto was on his knees and he was holding Hinata in his arms. Her eyes were closed but saw that the seal was no longer on her head.

"Did it work?" they all thought. Hinata slow open her eyes, as they watch not saying a word. When her eyes open, she saw that everyone was looking at her with a shock look on all their faces.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Hinata you have pupils in your eyes." said Yūgao. Hinata couldn't believe what she was hearing. She looked back at Naruto and looked at him in the eye. Sure enough she saw it.

In his eyes she saw herself. She saw her eyes were still their purple like color, like she knew they always been, but this time she saw a black dot that were know her pupils. Her next sight was her forehead. She no longer had the seal on her head. All at once the feeling of joy over took her, as her eyes became to water and let some tears run down her cheek. She reclosed her eyes. She was become sleepy. She rested her head on Naruto's chest and drift off to sleep.

Everyone couldn't help but smile at the scene. Naruto slowly got up from his knees and carried Hinata's body as he began to walk over to Anko. He stop in front of her and handed Hinata to her, and she picked her up from her.

"Very well let's get started Hokage," the old man was lost at what he meant but soon remember. "I'm sure you have plenty of questions for use, and we'll answer them how we see fit."

The Hokage could hear the serious tone in his voice and know that the boy was not playing a game.

"Very well, answer me this what happen to you that night you disappear and where have you been all this time"

Naruto looked at the man and made sure to show him his eyes, "I think you may already know what happened that night. However, I tell you what happen in short terms. I was going back to my house but was attack by a group of villagers. They cornered me in my own house. I think one might even throw a bomb in there because I was able to get out and heard an explosion and the building was on fire. Giving the moment, I ran to the village main gate and into the forest. I was then confronted by a team of ANBU who were going to kill me."

This gave the Hokage and his two ninjas hateful looks. Nevertheless, they let him go on,

"I black out sadly so I don't know what happened after that. However I soon woke up in the home of the six who are right behind you." They look at the six in question and all they did was wave back at them. "They told me that they were ninjas of a village that was destroyed. They wanted to settle down in a village that a friend of theirs was in. it just so happens that this is that village."

The Hokage was interested to know what these six individuals wanted to do in this village, but again said nothing and let him finish.

"They took care of me these past few years. And I told them that we could go back to the Leaf village when things died down a bit. And that leads us to now."

The Hokage was impressed with the tale he just heard. "I assume they trained Naruto. If they gone so far to do this then they can be a little bit trusted, however I must not let this get to me. Sure they helped and kept Naruto safe, but we still don't know a thing about them other then what Naruto said."

"Very well Naruto I see that you had it rough we will talk about everything when you fell that you are ready. Other than that welcome back," He was stopped however by Naruto voice,

"That's the thing," This of course got their attention as to what could be the problem. "Why do you want me back? Is it that you care about me or is it to keep your promise to my parents," again everyone's eyes widen at that, "or is it because I'm the holder of the Kyūbi no Yōko and you want to use me for something."

With those words shock was now an understatement to the three. Nobody knew what to say to the boy. They had no clue that knew anything. The Hokage however was the first to answer the boy. "Naruto how do you know all this?"

"That would be use." Everyone turned to look at the three grown women.

"You," Anko said, "How do any of you know about this?"

"We all know a lot of things about Naruto and about what's inside of him." said Kat. That however gave more questions than answers.

"Allow use to explain," said Aki, "Like Naruto said we are ninjas from a village that was destroyed, that village was known as Uzushiogakure home to the Uzumaki clan. I'm Aki, former commanding officer of Uzushiogakure's third elite ANBU Black Ops division."

"I'm Kat, former commanding officer of Uzushiogakure's second elite ANBU Black Ops division." said Kat.

"Then theirs me, I'm Kura, former commanding officer of Uzushiogakure's first elite ANBU Black Ops division." said Kura.

Again shock would be an understatement to the three as they had trouble trying to hide it. They knew if they were telling the truth then they had three very strong people on their hands.

The Hokage know of how strong Uzushiogakure was. Not many knew of them because the people of Uzushiogakure were masters of hiding with in plain sight. The old man also new that the strongest clan that made and ran Uzushiogakure were the Uzumakis, a clan that was known for their abilities of sealing, sword combat and much more. In fact that's what made maid them such a threat. Nobody knew what an Uzumaki was able to do in battle and their large chakra supplies made things much worse. Sarutobi was worried that if this three were in fact Uzushiogakure ninjas then trouble would be the lasting they would have.

"Also," said Kura, "Naruto said we were here to live in the village our friend lived in. I know that you know who we are talking Hokage." The Hokage was lost in words at this point. All he could do is listen and hope that he could come up with something by then with everything out.

"Kushina Uzumaki," he said.

"Correct," Kura replied.

"But that doesn't explain how Naruto knows about the Nine Tails and how can you prove that you really knew Kushina?"

"Ah yes, how could I forget," Kura said. She slammed her on the ground and a puff of smoke came out. When the smoke had cleared everyone saw that there was now, what looked like, a picture frame.

"Here," Kura picked it up and throw it to the old man. He caught it easily and looked at it. What he saw was something he couldn't believe. In the photo was a woman who had a slender, but feminine build to it. She had fair skin that made her glow in perfection. She had violet like eyes and red fiery like hair that looked to go past her shoulders in the photo. "Kushina?"

The Hokage thought that this picture was a fake. Every picture that had Kushina in them where in her old home or the Hokage had hid them for safe keeping.

What he saw next however, proved that this photo was real.

Next to the red haired women stood a man who he knew very well. The man was tall and skinny. In fact if anyone saw this would believe that this person was grown up version of Naruto. The man had bright, blue eyes and spiky, blond hair like Naruto. "Minato,"

The Hokage finally took notice of everything in the background. From what he could tell was that this photo was taken in a wide open place due to no buildings behind them but only the blue sky. The last thing he took notice was that the woman Kura was standing next to Kushina and the woman Kat was standing next to Minato. From what he could tell was that the photo was taken so that only each person's head and shoulders where in and nothing else. He took one more glance at their smiling faces and looked back at the three women.

"I know what you're thinking," said Kura, "You want to know when that photo was taken, along with the fact if Naruto knows about his parents." The Hokage could only look at her with confident stare and have one thought in mind.

"Naruto I'm sorry that I had to lie about your parents. I won't ask you for your forgiveness or for you to trust me. I just hope that you can understand why I did what I did."

"First off," said Kura, "that photo was taken during both Minato and Kushina's free time from their ninja work. We've been in contact with Kushina ever since the fall of Uzushiogakure. In fact almost all of the Uzushiogakure knew were Kushina was. She told use that she meet a nice man in her life and wanted use to meet him. We have been friends with Kushina for a very long time. I don't remember where we met but all I could say was it was not too far away from your village. The point of the photo being taken that way it was, was so if any one who was hunting down anyone from Uzushiogakure they wouldn't be able to find anyone in the photo. Remember the photo was taken way before Minato was appointed Hokage." She paused so that her story could sink into the minds and see if they believed her or not.

The Hokage and both Anko and Yūgao listen closely to the tale as they try to see if there were any lose holes in the tale. So far they were unable to find any. They all knew that anyone from Uzushiogakure had to lay low in shadows so that they wouldn't be found. This of course made them think that they could be telling the truth but, were not too sure.

"As for Naruto," this time it was Kat who spoke, "when we found him we saw that there were a team of ANBU trying to kill him. We are sorry to say that we killed them in order to help Naruto." The Hokage and his ninjas made no reaction to the statement and allowed Kat to continue. "I could tell that he was an Uzumaki because I could smell his chakra had hints of the Kyūbi with in it. Before anyone of you say anything let me tell you something not many know of the Nine-Tails or Uzushiogakure for that matter. "This caught everyone's interested.

"Everyone who has heard of Uzushiogakure knows that the land was an island that was isolated from the main land and had many whirlpools surrounding the area. The Uzumaki clan was the ones who wanted to colonies the island and they did. The island was home to many rare types of wolves, coyotes and of course foxes. It didn't take long for the settlers to notice that the Nine-Tails had made its home on the island. When they found it they noticed that it was in terrible condition, some say it was closed to death. The Uzumaki help the beast by helping it recovery back to health. By doing so they were given a gift. The Nine-Tails gave every Uzumaki on the island some of its chakra. The Uzumaki already had twice as much as chakra as any normal person and this gift gave them twice more than they already had. The Nine-Tails as gave them the right to live on the island and both were able to live peacefully there. Thanks to the Nine-Tails' gift every generation of Uzumaki that followed from then on, had the Kyūbi's chakra fused with their own making them stronger and stronger.

I don't want to bore you all by telling you what happen after but I'll tell you this. Since Uzumakis have the Nine-Tails' chakra in them, that makes them the only ones to be able to seal the Nine-Tails in them without any problems.

Which brings us to now, we knew that Kushina was the only Uzumaki here and that the Nine-Tails was sealed into her. We also know she was going to have a child named Naruto. She told use close to the due date of the child and that's what caused use to come to the village. So that both her child and she would not be alone in the village and that the Uzumaki clan can be born again. Sadly, when word got out that the Hidden Leaf village was attack by the Nine-Tails we were heartbroken to think that both Kushina and her child had died. However, when we heard that the village was still standing, that made us think that ether the child or Kushina had survived the attack. But since the attack we had to take our time coming her since if it looks like we came here out the blue it will look suspicious.

Once we found Naruto and told him everything he wanted use to stay away from the village for a bit until he could join the ninja academy. And to answer your question yes he knows about his parents but we also told him why you couldn't tell him Hokage. So don't think we are making you the bad guy here."

The Hokage just looked at the three and then turn to see Naruto. Naruto was just standing a couple steps from the three with a blank stare.

"Naruto is this true?" he said.

"Yes its true." he replied.

"Then please hear me out." He paused so he could look straight into the boy's eyes. "I never told you about your parents were because both your parents were strong ninjas who both made plenty of enemies both in and outside of the village. They keep their own love life a secret from everyone they knew and only a few know that you are their son. I was going to tell you about your parents eventually but, that wasn't till you made it to be a Chūnin rank ninja and knew how to defend yourself."

"Relax old man," Naruto said in a calm tone. "I'm not mad at you. It's just I began to question what your true reasoning was to keep me in the village." Everyone was a bit sad to hear this but could see what he meant. "However that doesn't mean I won't try to be the best ninja there is. So I ask you this, is my spot in the academy still up for grabs." He did his foxy grin and made everyone smile a bit.

"Naruto even though you've been gone, you still seem the same but, I know you have changed a bit." The Hokage looked at the six behind him, "Even though I don't know a thing about them, I can tell that they care for you Naruto, and if you can trust them then maybe I can too."

"However," This brought the Hokage back out of thought and look back at Naruto. "There are a few things I want in order for me to come back willingly."

The Hokage looked at the boy and nodded for him to continue. "First, I want Mia, Kira and Kyo to join the academe with me and be in the same class as me."

"I can see if I could do that. What else?" the old man said.

"I want Kura, Kat and Aki to join your ANBU division. They said they will talk to you personally about being citizens and all that."

The Hokage looked at the women and then back at Naruto. "Very well I'll see what I can do."

The Hokage looked back at the six behind him, but his eyes noticed that Anko was holding Hinata in her hands. "That's right I almost forgot."

"Before we end this I like to ask what was that jutsu Naruto used on Hinata and what did it do to her?"

"Ah yes," said Aki, "I can't tell you much since it is a clan personal jutsu. All I can say is that it has the ability to change ones Dōjutsu. It's a jutsu that needs a lot of chakra and a lot of focuses to use. It's one the Uzumaki's medical jutsus. And just so you don't ask, you can say I taught it to him. He found the scroll that had the jutsu and began to teach it to himself. He had trouble with it so I helped him out. It normal for an Uzumaki to channel chakra at a young age so I showed him how to do it hoping he would never use it. Looks like I was wrong."

"Will Hinata be ok?" Anko ask as she slowly walked up to Naruto.

"We have to wait and see what happened to be sure, but from what we saw then it's safe to say Naruto used the jutsu correctly." With that said Anko used her right hand to found herself with his hair and used her left arm to carry Hinata.

"Will you should be happy you didn't hurt her. Good to have you back brat. I can't wait for use to catch up." Anko looked at everyone and said, "Since I might not be needed I'll take Hinata back to my place so she could rest. See around and welcome back Naruto." with that Anko flick away with Hinata.

Kura looked at the Hokage and asked, "Can we please go to your office so that we can finish this meeting. I don't know how long we can keep the jutsu up any longer."

That of course, made the Hokage remember that everything was still frozen in time. "If they have this much strength and can keep on walking like nothing happened, then this three are stronger then they look. I just hope they can work for the village with no problems. I don't even want to think of what other tricks they have, let's just hope we can stay on their good side."

"Very well let's go." The old man stared to walk only to stop by Kura's voice,

"Naruto why don't you take the girls to that Ichiraku place you've always talked about, and after that you can go buy the ninja gear you and the girls will need for the academy. Here's some money and a list of tools you and the girls will need." She handed him both a list and what looked to be a one strapped back bag that looked very full.

"Kura you gave me over 40 million ryō."

"Yay so? That is for everything you will need"

"I don't think the gear will cost that much."

"It doesn't hurt to have a little extra."

"I disagree."

The Hokage had gotten a sweat drop at the back of his head as he watched the two fight back and forth. "At least they won't have to worry about money if they can spend that much."

"Fine let go girls." As Naruto and the three girls passed the Hokage the old man had just remember something.

"Naruto before I forget. Ichiraku had moved from its location not too long ago. There are fliers everywhere to state its reopening today."

"Thanks old man. I'll keep my eye out for them." Naruto and the girls walked down the monument. Leaving the Hokage with one last thought, "Welcome home Naruto I hope that this time things will be a little bit different for you."


(Ichiraku Bar)

It was a quiet day for Ichiraku bar owner Teuchi. He was happy that he now was able to open his new bar in a safe part of the village. Ever since what had happen over the past two years, Teuchi thought it would be good idea to relocate his little restaurant. Thankfully he was able to get one of his families relative to switch shops with him.

His family was known to own many bars though out the village and served different types of foods. He was thankful to get the little bar his cousin had own. The bar itself wasn't that big. All it had was a storage area in the back and had a counter where he cooked the food. The bar also only had six stools and no doors, just sheets that covered the upper half of the entrance. The good thing about this bar was that it was a build into his new house so he lived upstairs from the shop.

Sadly, even on this joyful day old man Teuchi was depressed. He stood over a huge pot that was filled with Miso Pork Ramen. A dish he was well known for. Sadly, each time he made it, he felt something inside of him he just couldn't understand. He looked at liquid soup inside the pot. He could only come to one thought as he remembered his favorite costumer, "Naruto… if you are alive then where are you?"

"Excuse me," a voice pulled him out of thought. He looked at front of the bar and thought he was seeing things. There at the entrance stood three girls who all looked the same. From height to facial figure, everything looked the same. All but the hair and eyes. One of the girls had red hair with red eyes, another had black hair and dark brown eyes, the last girl had brown hair with light brown eyes.

"Hum... they could be triplets?" He completely didn't notice the other figure that had a hood cover his head by a clock all of them were wearing and the only thing you can see was his mouth.

"Yes how can I help you all?" Teuchi quickly dropped his train of thought and gave a welcome smile.

"We heard that this place just open so we thought we would stop here and eat." said the red head. She slowly looked at the owner of the small establishment. By far he looked like what many would think any civilian cook in his old age would look like. He was of average height for an ageing adult. His face had some small wrinkles around his cheeks and he had his eyes closed like what you would normally see on old people. He had light/darkish skin and black hair. He wore what looked to be a white robe for cooking and a white paper looking hat on his head.

"He looks like he is in his early forties. If his business is that old then his cooking must really be good." She thought. She took her seat next to the other three.

"So what can I get you all?" the cook asked.

"Do you by any chance have any Miso Pork Ramen now would you?" asked the black haired girl.

The grown man could only smirk and replied, "You're in luck because I'd just fished a new pot of some. How many would you all like?"

This time the brown haired girl answered, "Two bowls each please."

The cook again couldn't help but smirk one more time and then went to ready their meals. Will waiting for their food the brown haired girl just couldn't help but ask the cook something, "Excuse me sir, what happen the person who ran the shop earlier? If you don't mind me asking that is."

Teuchi kept his eyes on the bowls he was going to fill as he answered, "Ah… him. That was my little nephew. Cooking had always been a family business in my family, so when it came down for him to begin, I volunteered my shop for him to begin with. Since this shop is located next to many shopping areas and homes, it looked like a perfect way for him to start." He placed the second bowl he filled and began with the third. "I took the shop he was to work in that's only five blocks from here. Boy I can't tell you how much I missed this place."

"What about both you and your nephew's customers?" asked the brown haired girl.

Teuchi stopped filling the fourth bowl and just looked back down at the big pot before answering, "I didn't really have that many customers over there. They all lived around this area and all my nephew's customers lived around there any ways." Teuchi put the forth bowl down and began on the fifth one. "So what about you four. Are you three triplets or something? If you don't mind me asking."

"Oh sorry. My name Mia. The one with black hair is Kira and the last one is Kyo. The boy with the hood on his head goes by N, sorry he can't talk right now. He had some surgery on his head and doesn't want people to stare at him. We all just transferred to the village and we all start in the academy tomorrow. Our parents are talking to the Hokage as we speak about it."

Teuchi had finish filling up the bowels of ramen and had placed each one in front of them as he heard the brief explanation. "There you all go and let me say that welcome to the village. I hope you all like it here."

"Thank you." The girls said. All of them eat each bowl of their meal as the order man cleaned a bit around. He listened closely to each of them taking in the food. He could tell that they like it due to all the sounds they made each time they took in the soup. However, the old man stared to hear sounds that sounded very familiar to him. The sounds were coming from the boy. He didn't know how but that boy felt strange to him somehow.

"Must be my imagination." he thought.

When everyone finished they quickly paid the man and thanked him for the food. Sadly, the boy was in the front and he didn't see the person that was coming towards him until…

CRASH

Both the boy and the person fell to the ground. The three girls looked at the new comer to see that it was a girl. The girl had slender like body type with fair like looking skin. She had long brown hair that reached all the way to her mid-back and, from what they could tell; brown color eyes. She wore a white robe and had a dark blue apron on top of that. She also wore a white cloth on her head, sort of like bandana. The girls took a guess and thought that the girl was about 13 years old.

"Must be the cook's daughter?" they thought. However, due to them wondering about the new comer, they didn't notice that the boy's hood was off his head and showed off his yellow spike hair.

"Are you all right?" The boy said, as he was already on his feet and was holding out his hand to help her up.

"Yes I'm fine…" the girl stopped in mid-sentence as she looked at the boy. She looked as if she had seen a ghost. "Naruto?"

The boy seemed lost at what she was acting at until he looked in to her eyes. In her eyes he saw his reflection and he saw he wasn't wearing his hood any more. Looking back he could see that Teuchi was watching and that he too looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Um… we should go." Before he could make a move he was pulled into a tight hug by the girl.

"Naruto," she said, "it's you. It really is you."

Naruto could hear the happy tone in her voice but also could tell she was about to cry. "Ayame please I can't breathe."

Again Naruto was found in a tight hug with another female with his head in her breast.

The now known Ayame slightly loosen her hold on the boy so that he could at least move his head. When he did, his blue eyes met her brown eyes. He could see the joy mixed with a hint of sadness in them.

"Ayame it really great to see you again," Naruto said, "I'm sorry you had to worry about me and I want you to meet some of my new friends."

Ayame looked up to see the friend in questions and saw the three girls just standing there looking at them both.

"From the right it is Mia, Kira and Kyo." Each girl waved at her in the order Naruto had called them by. "Their parents helped me out after the incident." That was when Ayame remembered what had happen to her Naruto but before she could saw anything, Naruto got lose from the hug and said,

"I'm sure you have many questions for me but I'm afraid I can't answer any of them. We have to go buy a few things and since the villagers still don't know I'm here it would be safer to do it now then later. Please understand."

"But…" Ayame was cut off by Teuchi voice,

"Honey if Naruto has things to do let him get them done first. I'm sure he will tell you everything when he has time. Beside you don't want to be the cause of the villagers figuring out that Naruto is in the village, now would you." That last statement caused her to not talk back about the subject since he did have a point. "Now Naruto get going or you'll be seen by others. Oh and welcome back"

"Will do and thanks old man." With that said Naruto put his hood back on and left with the girls behind him leaving the two in their thoughts.

"Great to see your back kid, I hope things are better this time around."

"Naruto, please be safe."


(With Naruto)

Both Naruto and the girls were walking thought some sort of small park trueing to find their next location.

"Are you sure it around here?" asked Kyo.

"Yes I'm sure. It's not hard to miss it." replied Naruto.

"Tell again what it looks like." asked Mia

"It's a two story tall store. It's painted red over it and says 'The Iron Leaf' on top of the entrance. Last time I remember it is on the corner of the street by the park."

"Found it." Mia said as they turn to see that she was looking at the building that fit the description.

With that said they all walk to the building with all of them having the same thought, "I wonder how this will turn out."


(In The Iron Leaf)

Within the store, a girl could be seen holding a clipboard. The girl looked about nine years old with dark brown eyes and hair. She had a set of buns, one on each side of her head and short bangs on the edges of her forehead. From what someone could see, she was wearing pink sleeveless qipao-style blouse with red sleeve with dark green pants with the standard blue ninja sandals. She also was wearing a dark green apron over her clothes.

She was slowly counting the ninja tools that were on display for costumers. In fact the store itself was different from what may think it was. It did look like a typical weapon shop, from the weapons out on display to the left of the door and had the casher counter with a bit more weapons to show and a door to the back of the store with the weapons were stored.

However, if one would continue to walk to the other side of the room from the door opening, there would be a small little hallway that had stares go to the second floor of the store were a library full of ninja books, from basics to more complex things to even some low rank beginner or D-Rank jutsus to weapons guide, could be seen. After, the stares the store goes to the other half were plenty of ninja clothing can be seen, from outdoor daily life to mission base clothing and more.

The girl had just finished her count and was happy that her job was done.

"Excuse use." A male voice came behind her.

"Yes welcome to The Iron Le…" she cut herself short as she turn to see the new comers but froze when she saw one of them. They were a group of four that had three girls and one boy. The boy stood in the middle as a girl with red hair stood to the left side of him and a girl with brown hair next to her.

The boy however, was what she really wanted to know about as she looked at his blond spike hair and the three dark whiskers like marks on each side of his checks.

"No that can't be, is that really Naruto? After so long is he really back." She just kept staring at the boy asking herself if this person was who she hoped was.

After what felt like minutes, but really seconds, the boy said, "Long time no see huh Teddy bear." He said this with a foxy grin soon following and he closed his eyes for good measure. While the girls however just gave an odd look at the name he had given and looked at him in their thoughts.

However, by do so; they were unable to see the worker girl charging at the boy until,

CRASH

"Naruto it you, I knew you would come back, I just knew you would." the girl said with a happy tone but had that sound of one about to.

Once again Naruto was found in a bear hug with another female and like last time had his head shoved in the girl's chest. Thankfully, he was able to move his head this time, but felt like his arms and ribs were about to break.

"Ten… ten… can you please… let me go. I… I can't breathe." He said with his face turning slightly blue. He was relieved to feel the grip loosen and took in some air. Once doing so, he was met with a pair of brown eyes in which he couldn't tell what emotion they were showing.

"Oh boy is she sad, happy, or mad at me?" he thought as he just stared into her eyes.

It wasn't till the voice of Mia broke the two out of their trance. "Um Naruto I like that your getting to see your friend again but we have to act quickly here remember."

That of course caused both of them to look at the other three in the room.

"Oh yes Tenten I like you to meet some friends I've meet since I was gone. I like you to meet Mia, Kira and Kyo." He said as he pointed to each girl, "Girls this is Tenten the girl I told you about."

All of them gave each other waves of 'hello' to each other. Have plenty of questions bouncing all over in her head she said, "Naruto what happ…" however she was stopped when Naruto placed two fingers over her lips.

"Tenten," he said with a hint of sadness in his eyes and a little bit of serious in them. "I know you have many questions to ask me, but I'm afraid I can't answer them right now. Please understand. The villagers still don't know I'm in the village and I have to get everything ready when they find out I'm here. Please understand that I can't waste any time. I promise I'll answer any questions you want tomorrow when we all start the academy together."

At that her eyes shoot open to his statement. "You're joining the academy?"

"Of course I'm still going to be the best ninja anyone has seen or have you forgotten Teddy bear." He replied with his cheeky fox grin. The others slightly chuckle at the name he called her as Naruto got up from the floor. "In fact we all are joining and if we are joining we are going to need the best tools from the best store in the village."

He handed her his hand to help her up. She took it and got up from the floor. "So what do you say Teddy bear will you help us."

"Of course Whiskers, what do you all need?" Again the girls found themselves shock and cracking up at the nick names that the two gave each other.

"Of course here's a list." Naruto looked over to the girls and said, "Girls will Tenten here get our things, you three can look around for things you may want but don't think you can buy everything so choose a little stuff."

With that they moved to the different part of the stores. He then turns to see that Tenten was heading to the back storage of the store to get the supplies. Leaving Naruto to look around the store, as he waits for her to finish.


(1 hour and 30 minutes Latter)

During all that time Naruto watched Tenten come back and forth and seal items in to scrolls. When she had finally finished, Naruto called the girls to come back.

He saw that they were caring a few more items like, shirts, pants and some notebooks and a drawing notebook to boot.

Asking Tenten to seal those up too, he waits for her to finish the total payment count for them. "Let's see 120 shurikens, 80 kunai, 5 practice swords, 4 books on sword combat along with academy basic books, 10 ninja street shirts, 5 ninja street pants, 4 ninja tool pouches, 4 notebooks and 1 drawing notebook." Naruto couldn't help but have his eyes twitch as she had listed off all the items and how much that would cost.

"Thankfully you all said that you will be joining the academy and that every person gets a 20% discount on every perches." Naruto let out a breath of relief for his luck. "Ok that leaves you with a payment of 10 million ryōs."

Not wasting any time, Naruto got the amount needed as the girls picked up the scrolls. They all sorted the scrolls into the bag and place most in the pockets of their cloaks. As they look at Tenten one last time, they saw their goodbyes and that they will see each other the next day.

Tenten watched as they walked down the street until they were out of view. "Naruto it seems you have found some friends. I hope that noting more happens to you and that we can live out our dreams like we planned back when we were kids. Please Kami let him be safe and happy."


(With Naruto and Group)

All four of them were walking down the street with their hoods on. Naruto was happy that he didn't have to look at the 'hateful' stares he had gotten before, but knew that that will soon change by tomorrow.

"Relax kit this time you have us by your side."

"Don't forget the others aren't just going to let that happen again to you."

"They are right. Beside they don't even know anything that happened over the years. You have the advantage this time.

Naruto smirked as the three voices were right.

"Thanks you, you three are right. Tomorrow will be our new start and will stop us, nothing. The opening moves in this game have just been played; now it's your turn Konoha make your move. Just know that we have the upper hand here. I guess there is no going back."
