Anko was taking a break in the underground garden. It was pretty ingenious, the roof was made of one-way glass, the top camouflaged as grass, dirt, etc. While the glass itself had seals on it to make it near unbreakable. Only a bijuu bomb or something stronger had a chance of breaking it.

"Anko? Are you here?" Asked Naruto while carrying a two-year-old Mito.

"Yeah, just enjoying the garden. I still can't believe it's underground." She said gesturing her arm's at the trees and flowers of different shapes and sizes.

Naruto chuckled. "Yeah, Dad was amazing wasn't he."

"He really was!" Anko grinned.

"Well, I came to tell you that lunch was ready." He said as he left the garden to head into the kitchen.

"What are we having today?" Anko asked, following him.

"Curry!" He said with a smile.

"What about dessert?" Anko asked with hope evident in her voice.

Naruto took a mock thinking pose. "Hmm, I'm not sure." He let silence fall over them, causing Anko to squirm in anticipation. After he had enough of teasing her he answered. "I've fixed some Dango Skewers."

"Yay!" Anko cheered. "My favorite, you're the best!" Anko pumped her fist into the air.

"Thank you, knowing you enjoy my homemade Dango makes me happy." He said with a warm smile.

"Yours is even better than the ones at the shop I used to go to." She said, smiling ear to ear.

The two sat down at the table, Naruto feeding Mito then eating his own food with Anko practically inhaling hers. "Manners, Anko." Naruto chastised her, getting a grunt from her in between bites.

Mito recently began walking and is on the verge of being able to talk in complete sentences. In another few years, they'd be able to start her training in, well, everything. Naruto wants her to know as much as possible and have the strength and skills to accomplish whatever she wants.

He still wasn't sure how or when to begin her training in using the 9-tail foxes power. But that could wait until he had a chat with the fox and find out whether he could be trusted or not.

"Hey, Naruto, it's been two years since we left. Do you think they're looking for us?" Anko asked after a break in her munching.

Naruto put his hand under his chin "That's a good question, I doubt they even know we're alive. But I imagine the lack of our bodies has confused them." he pointed out.

Anko nodded. "Should we tell them that we're alive? That way we can eventually return without any issues?"

Naruto took a moment to think about it, it made a lot of sense. "Yeah, we should." He performed the hand seal for the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) A single clone of him appeared next to him. Already knowing its orders it left via the secret way back to Konoha. "There, that takes care of that." Naruto said returning to his meal.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, sat in the Hokage office smoking his pipe and doing his dreaded paperwork, when a swirl of wind in the center of the room caught his attention. When the wind stopped a blonde-haired boy standing at 5 feet, 6 inches stared at him with cerulean blue eyes and wearing a dark grey skin tight long sleeve, showing off his surprisingly well-toned muscles, he wore a solid black Jonin-styled vest with the Kanji for Uzumaki on the front pocket, he wore black ANBU styled pants with black steel toes boots, to top the outfit off he wore a white short-sleeved trenchcoat, with black flames at the end of the sleeves and at the bottom of the coat with the Kanji for Namikaze on the back, he also had on black fingerless gloves.

"Who are you?" Hiruzen asked the stranger.

"Awe, you don't recognize me? Well, I guess it's been two years." Naruto replied with a shrug.

"N-Naruto?" Hiruzen asked shocked.

"Hello, I see they put you back in charge when Father died." Naruto said crossing his arms.

Hiruzen winced "Yeah, they needed a strong leader and I was the best option." he answered.

"Modest aren't we?" Naruto said with a raised eyebrow, he then shrugged "Eh, I don't really care. I only came here to tell you that Anko, Mito, and I are all alive and we plan to return in 10 years but that's subject to change." He stated.

"Where are you all at now?" Hiruzen questioned hoping to get a lead so he can bring them back asap.

"Tsk, tsk, that's telling old man. I'm under no legal obligation to tell you that." Naruto said wagging his finger from side to side.

Hiruzen grew a tick mark "As Hokage it's my duty to know where my citizens are."

"Really? I thought that rule applied mainly to shinobi?" Naruto asked looking up to the ceiling with his finger on his chin. "Oh well, see you in 10 years old man." Naruto did a two-finger salute before going poof via dispelling.

"Naruto wai-" Hiruzen tried to call after the blonde but was too late. "Damn brat, thinks he can mock me and get away with it. Just wait and see." Hiruzen let out an evil chuckle

Naruto was playing with Mito when the clone's memory came back to him. "Woah, did I just get the memories of that clone?"

"What?" Anko asked.

"I just gained the memories of the clone I sent to Konoha." He said thinking 'I wonder if we can use that in training?' he thought.

"I wonder if it would help us train?" Anko mused, unknowingly echoing Naruto's thoughts.

"I was just thinking the same thing, we can use a clone to learn Jutsu while we train physically and when we get our reserves high enough we can add more clones to the training." he answered excitedly.

"Yeah, and seeing as Mito here already has genin-level chakra despite being two she'd probably be able to use the Taju-Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Multi-Shadow Clone Technique)." Anko said proudly.

"You're probably right, though I'm a little hesitant when it comes to that Jutsu, last thing I want is for you or Mito to get hurt… or worse." He immediately shook his head to clear it of those thoughts. "Anyway, We should probably begin training with our shadow clowns now." He said standing up intending on putting Mito to bed first.

"Alright, I'm up for a late-night spar." she said grinning an evil grin making Naruto shiver a bit.

"Let's not destroy the training ground, we came very close to doing it yesterday." Naruto reminded her.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be careful." She said waving her hand dismissively.

A red blur dashed through the underground compound, before ultimately crashing into something or someone. "Oi! Watch where you're running Mito!" Naruto said while sprawled out on the ground with a beaming Mito sitting on his chest.

"You promised you'd start my training today!" She said barely containing her excitement, literally bouncing on his chest causing him to grunt in pain on each bounce.

"Okay, okay, calm down you're gonna cave my chest in." Naruto said attempting to sit up.

Mito shuffled off of him and sat on her knees still bouncing an excitement "So, what first!?" she asked.

Naruto took a thinking pose "Well, it's usually best to start with chakra control first, however, I know you're too impatient to do only that so we'll have a few shadow clones do that while I teach you our Mothers Taijutsu (Body Technique)."

Mito's face lit up "Really! I get to learn Mom's fighting style?" she jumped to her feet and began jumping around repeating "Yay!" over and over again.

Naruto just watched with a smile while his sister expressed her happiness, after a while he decided to reel her back in. "Okay, Mito, Let's head to the training ground."

"Okay!" Mito called out as she sprinted after him her red hair flying behind her.

"Alright!" Naruto said "Copy my movements." He began going through the different positions of the fighting style all the while Mito's violet eyes never left him copying his every move to the best of her ability. "Good, that's a good start!" he said with a smile, Mito beamed at the praise. 'Now again!" he said as they went through the positions over and over again for the next few hours.

Naruto, Anko, and Mito sat around the dinner table and enjoyed their meal of sushi and miso soup with fried tofu on the side. When Naruto's head snapped to the left.

"What's wrong, Naruto" Anko said after swallowing some sushi.

"I just felt Tsunade's chakra nearby." He said, his head still facing the same direction. "...and not just her there's someone with her. Judging by their chakra level they must be… Jonin." He said with a smile on his face.

"What's Tsunade doing near Konoha? Doesn't she hate that place?" Anko asked, then promptly shoved another piece of sushi in her mouth.

"I thought so too, maybe she didn't mean to get this close either way it works in my favor." He said his smile never leaving his face.

"What do you mean?" Anko asked before shoving some fried tofu in her mouth.

"Well, lately I've been thinking-" he began before Anko cut him off "That's not good" she teased. "Anyway…" He continued clearing his throat. "I noticed today during Mito and I's training session that she heals extremely fast, of course, I've only seen her heal small bruises or cuts. She might be able to heal worse injuries than that, now normally that wouldn't be a problem. In fact, I don't think it is, but it made me think… Could we heal that fast?"

Anko put her hand on her cheek "I don't know, where are you going with this?" she asked him.

"Simple, my godmother, Tsunade is an amazing medic. Her medical skills are said to be unrivaled by anyone, now imagine you and I become her apprentices." he stated with a grin.

"What? Us? Apprentices under Tsunade? Would she even accept us?" Anko rapidly questioned.

"I don't know if she would, but even if she says no it still doesn't change the fact that she's my godmother and I'd like to see her." Naruto said a warm smile on his face.

Anko nodded "Well, go on! I'll keep an eye on Mito while you're out." Anko said making a shooing gesture with her hands.

Naruto stood up, hugged Mito told her he'd be back, then he hugged Anko and said the same. Next, he was by the exit closest to the town Tsunade was in, he gave the two seated at the table a two-finger salute. "Be back in a flash!"

Tsunade and Shizune were sitting in a booth chatting about the day they'd been having and how crazy it had been so far, oh how naive they were.

"So, then the punk decides to through a punch at me, me." Tsunade said with a laugh

"I know right, poor fool never knew what hit him." Shizune remarked

"Ha, Ha, laid that fool out on the pavement." Tsunade boasted

Shizune chuckled but then stopped dead in her tracks, her face as white as a ghost. She was staring dumbly at the space behind Tsunade.

"Shizune?" Tsunade asked waving her hand in front of her face. Shizune could only point. Tsunade turned around and her face immediately matched Shizunes.

"Yo!" Naruto said with a one-finger salute.

Okay, that's 3 chapters in one day and I'm seriously considering writing the 4th I'm not sure if I will yet or not, but yeah love ya!
