XxX Elemental Nations XxX

In the Village Hidden in the Leaves or more commonly known as Konohakagure it was a day just like any other. A dark haired individual with his hair tied up into a spiky ponytail, who was also sporting his usual lazy expression was walking towards the door to the Hokages office. He soon arrives at the door and knocks first before he starts to open the door. "Hey Naruto I have some forms I need you to sign..." He looks around to see a desk with papers stacked up to the ceiling and...toads of all things were stamping some forms and others seemed to be organizing the room. "Ok just where did he take off to this time? I mean seriously."

The largest toad currently in the room was wearing an orange vest covering his reddish body covered in darker red swirl patterns, he was also wearing an orange beret on his head was currently sitting in the seat which is supposed to be meant for the Hokage looks up to see him standing there. The toad lets out a loud croak before speaking. "Oh you must be Shikamaru-san. I'm Gamaita. Naruto-sama asked us to take care of a few things for him since Ojiji-sama had another prophecy about him. *Croak* As to what its about I have no clue. I'm just happy to be of some help to Naruto-sama." Gamaiti shrugs his shoulders as he explains the situation to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru lets out a groan as he shakes his head in disbelief. "Man this is such a drag." He looks around the room again before returning his gaze to Gamaiti. "I don't suppose you have any idea when he'll be back do you?"

"Naruto-sama said that he should be back sometime this afternoon. If you like I can send one of our tracker toads to find you once he returns?"

Shikamaru smiles a little as he nods in acceptance to the offer. "That sounds good thanks." After a short pause he looks at the beret on the toads head. "I'm sorry but I have to ask. Whats with the-"

"I'd appreciate it if you didn't ask about my beret!" The toad interrupts him. "I have my own style so drop it."

"Ya alright I won't ask again." Says Shikamaru. 'Though that's gonna be bugging me for awhile now.' He thinks to himself as he leaves the room.

Eventually he runs into a pink haired kunoichi. "Oh hey Shikamaru. Did you let Naruto know about the preparations for the yearly Kage meeting?"

Shikamaru grins as he knows how this conversation will end. Most likely will end in a very bruised and beaten up Naruto. 'Oh Naruto is so going to hate me for this. Oh well its what he gets for taking off like he just did.' The kunoichi tilts her head to the side in confusion. "Oh sorry about that Sakura. And to answer your question. Well lets just say that he's not here at the moment. He seems to have taken off again and left a bunch of toads to do his paperwork for him." The moment he finishes speaking he jups out a window in an effort to avoid becoming collateral damage.

Sakura stands there for s short time as her mind attempts to process what Shikamaru just told her. With every second that goes by another tic mark forms on her forehead as well as her fists clenching tighter and tighter in anger. "Oh he is so going to regret taking off like this!" She walks down the hall as she begins thinking about just how brutally shes going to beat on him when he finally returns.

XxX Mount Myoboku XxX

Sitting in a large room was an gigantic elderly Toad who was brown in colour except for his white belly was sitting upon his oversized throne. Two much smaller but also elderly toads were sitting on either side but infront of him watched as a man with blonde hair who was wearing an orange jumpsuit and a short-sleeved red coat with a black flame pattern along the hemline was walking to a platform out in the middle of the room.

The blond grins as he raises his right hand putting his index and middle fingers together and gives the toads a friendly salute. "Yo how have you all been? Its been quite awhile since the last time we were all here like this."

The oversized toad looks down at the blond man. "Why yes it was been quite a while. Umm...who are you again?" With that sentence everyone else in the room falls over in surprise. The female toad known as Shima also referred to as Ma loudly groans before she yells out. "Geeze you old geazer this is seriously getting old. As you should very well know the one standing before you is Naruto Uzu-freaking-Maki! You know the child of prophecy! I mean your the one who called him out here!"

Naruto slowly gets up and proceeds to brush himself off. "Its ok Ma don't worry about it. I'm getting used to it." He says to the female toad before looking back up to the gargatuian toad. "And if I'm right in my timing he should figure out who I am in three. Two. One-" He quietly says to himself.

"Ah yes Naruto I have seen a vision involving you. One where you seems to be sailing the seas, but for why I do not know. I also saw you reuniting with an old friend who's power resides in his eyes." The Great Toad Sage begins but is cut off by Naruto.

"Wait what? Are you talking about Sasuke? During the final battle against Madara wasn't Sasuke sent to another dimension by Obito? I do remember him shoving me out of the way at the last moment to protect me from his power, which allowed me to take advantage of Obitos confusion and take him out." Naruto exclaims in disbelief. "Now your telling me that he may be alive out there somewhere?"

The Toad Sage looks at Naruto curiously. "Ah yes I remember him now. Yes. Yes I'm pretty sure he's the lad in the vision. However something seems off about him. Like a part of him is missing. Although I'm unsure if it's either physical or mental." Naruto looks to the ground as he takes all this information in. 'Sasuke. I hope your safe. Where ever you are.'

The other smaller toad known as Fukasaku or is more commonly referred to as Pa by the other toads gives Naruto some time to take everything in before saying anything. "Naruto-bozu it would appear that you now have another reason to explore the world." The blond looks up with a puzzled look on his face as he looks at Fukasaku. "Huh? What do you mean by that Pa?" He asks.

Fukasaku shakes his head a little. "Think about it Naruto-bozu. Jiraiya-bozu wanted to bring peace to the world and he left that quest to you. Well the Elemental Nations have now entered a time of peace. However this land is actually just a tiny part of the wide world out there. So if you truly wish to bring peace to the world you will sadly have to leave the land of your birth and head out to sea. I'm sorry about this but it is your choice to make. But remember your never alone! You can always summon any of the toads here in Myoboku to assist you at anytime."

Naruto allows himself a few moments of personal reflection before a big and bright grin spreads across his face. "Thank for the quite pep talk Pa. I needed that. And your right I'm never truly alone. Well I guess I should probably head back home. I have to attend the yearly Kage meeting in the new port town Nanobee. I better let them all know whats going on. Later guys!" He then turns around and suddenly vanishes from sight in a flash of yellow light.

"My word. Isn't that his fathers signature jutsu? The Hiraishin Jutsu? Well I'm glad to see that even though in these times of peace he's still trying to improve himself." Shima says in astonishment.

XxX Hokage Tower in Konohakagure XxX

Naruto appears in a flash of yellow light just in front of his desk. Unfortunately his sudden appearance scare the smaller toads senseless causing them to dive under the deck or anything else they could find. He looks around at the small toads fearfully poking their noses out from under cover however they aren't quite relieved about Nautos sudden appearance. He looks around with a puzzled look on his face as he crouches down to ask one of the little toads a question.

"Umm...do any of you happen to know where Gamaiti is? I kinda left him in charge of paperwork duty while I was gone." Naruto asks.

The sound of a chair moving as well as the creak of pressure being applied to the desk. Naruto turns his head to the source of the sound. A large and shaking arm comes into sight from behind the desk. "Is. Is that you Naruto-sama?" Asks the owner of the shaking arm which so happens to be Gamaiti.

"Are you alright Gamaiti? Did something happen since I left?" Naruto asks.

Gamaiti slowly looks around to see if the coast is clear before responding. "Y-ya you could say that. If that's what you call a pink typhoon that came in here and attacked us while demanding for your location. Also sorry but I'm not gonna be able to help you out anytime soon after today." He slowly walks towards the window before screaming. "OH MY GOD SHE'S COMING BACK! EVERYONE RETREAT!" And with that being said every single toad in the room disappeared in a puff of smoke leaving Naruto in the room alone trying to figure out what happened.

"What did they mean by a pink typhoon?" He quietly asks himself. "Wait. They did say it was pink, and that it was a she. Hmm I wonder what they meant? *thinks to himself for a moment before he slowly realizes whats coming.*OH MY GOD SAKURA-CHAN'S COMING!" He races to the door which he quickly opens just to find said person standing on the other side giving him a warm yet terrifying smile. "Why if it isn't Hokage-dono. Its so nice of you to face your punishment like a man."

'Ok this is not good. I have two choices here. 1. Just stand here and let Sakura take out her frustration now to get it over with or...the preferred option 2. Run like hell and try to explain to her as I run for my life. However when she DOES catch me in that scenario...she is going to beat me even more...' Is what goes through Narutos mind in about 2 seconds. He attempts to weigh the odds of his survival on the choices but realizes he doesn't have much more time to reach a decision as he notices her right hand form into a fist. "Fuck it." Is all he says before he focuses as much chakra as possible in his legs and releases it all at once quickly repelling him in the opposite direction of Sakura forcing him through the window behind his desk.

"AIYA SAKURA-CHAN PLEASE LET ME EXPLAIN!"

He then spends the rest of the afternoon and some of the night engaged in a deadly game of cat and mouse throughout the village. Those in the village who were suppose to adore and respect him spent the entire time laughing their ungrateful asses off as he dashed around trying to evade Sakuras attacks.

Eventually after a long chase Sakura eventually catches his red coat and proceeds to beat the living shit out of him. After the beat down given to him he is finally able to explain the situation and calm her down.

"You know Naruto. If you had just told me from the start this entire chase wouldn't have even happened." She explains as she leads a bruised Naruto back to his parents estate.

He glances over to her and shakes his head a little. "Sakura-chan you know very well you have and probably will never give me the chance to explain before you pummel me."

She tilts her head upwards as she ponders this. "You know you may be right about that. Wow its hard to believe you can actually be right." She says as she childishly sticks her tongue out at him.

"Well I need to get some rest. I have that Kage meeting to attend in the morning, Then everything is probably going to change." Naruto says.

"I guess so." Is all Sakura says.

'Well I can still bring two bodyguards to this thing. Shikamarus the obvious choice. Now who should be the second?...' He thinks to himself.
