Chapter one

'Thinking'

"Speaking"

Inner demon/inner self

Naruto waved goodbye to his friends from Konoha as he makes his way to begin his two and a half year training session with jiraiya. "wow two and a half years alone with pervert hermit and no one else this is going to be interesting" Naruto wisperd as he passed the gates.

That was two and a half years ago.

A much older Naruto about 5/12 in a orange button down jacket watches laughing as Jiraiya gets kicked out of the mixed bath on their way back to Konoha.

"Hurry up you pervert I want to get back home as soon as I can" Naruto yelled

"No need to hurry boy I need to get more inspiration for my next book" Jiraiya mutters 'I need new ripe fruit for my next Makeout Paradise'.

"Hey kit how can you stand to work with that pervert hermit I don't under stand how he finds happiness in them books?" Kyubi asked.

'It's a human thing u would not understand it takes to much time to explain'

"k kit im going to go away now".

Naruto now mad grabs his sensei and pulls him down the road "come on only a hour left sensi".

Three hours later Naruto and Jiraiya step out side Konoha's north gate.

"damit it took two extra hours cause you had to stop at a womens clothes store you perv" naruto said yelling at his sensi.

"halt" two jonin guards appear "what is your buisness here?" they ask

Jiraiya is about to speak but Naruto pushes him out of the way. "Naruto is back from his training quest and ready to kick some snake ass".

The two guards look at him and laugh "Naruto i was enjoying the peace and quiet open the gate!"

As they walk in Naruto smiles "it has no changed a bit since I left".

Inside Konoha was just the way he left it except for one change the fifths head was now next to the fourths on the mountain near the back of the village hidden in the leaves. Naruto could not believe it "how did they get her face one there so fast and they made it look so real."

"That's easy" said Jiraiya "she so old most of the rock they don't need to cut it makes her face equally old" falls on the floor laughing his ass off. His laughing continues till all of a sudden he is shot across the road at blinding speed. Jiraiya looks up to see Tsunade standing there her face steaming red.

"Not funny!" she yelled at him running over to smack him around a bit more.

"Crap" Jiraiya yelled as he ran "I forgot about her super human strength". He continues to run in the direction of the nearest strip bar even thought Tsunade does not fallow.

"Still a pervert as always" she says with a sigh she looks over and notices Naruto standing there. "Wow you sure have grown fallow me back to my office I got some stuff to give you now that your back". She smiles at him.

After about twenty minutes of walking they arrive at the Hokage's office it is about 20 by 20 and is filled with books and paper work at the end of the room is on desk and three chairs. "Please sit down Naruto" she says as he takes a seat behind the desk.

"What do you want to tell me?" Naruto asks just then he notices some very old paperwork each on having a very young picture of him and the old team seven. His gaze rests on the picture of Sasuke 'I will get you back to Konoha sasuke' he says in his mind 'I will rescue you I promised Sakura-Chan I would'.

Flashback

Naruto stands out side of the gate along with the rest of his group about ready to track Sasuke down and drag him back. Sakura come up to them with Lee she is in tears. "Naruto I could not stop him I tried only one person can bring him back and that is you" she says about ready to break down. "Promise me this that you will bring Sakuke back".

"I promise Sakura-Chan" Naruto says doing the nice guy poise.

End Flashback

Naruto still starring at the pictures of Sasuke and Tsunade notices this. " I know you want to find him and soon you can I got two squads of ANBU members in each country gathering info" she says smiling at him.

Naruto looks up a smirk on his face "thank you".

The Hokage just remembers why they are there "oh ya how can I for get here is a few things for you" she says handing him a set of keys a few folders and three old books covered in dust. "The keys are to you families old clan house and the books and folders are info you u on your clans history techniques and blood lines". She says in a calm voice.

"What!" Naruto yells jumping from his seat "I have a clan and a blood limit why was I not told of this sooner?"

"We wanted to Naruto but this info was set and your clan before they died asked the third not to tell you till you became of age" Tsunade said calmly.

"Yay" Naruto said his heart racing this has been the best thing he has heard since he found out he became a Genin. "thank you so much".

"Kakahsi will show you to the new house he is waiting out side my office, he wants to see how much you have grown these last few years." She says with a grin.

"Ok thanks granny Tsunade" Naruto says as he stuffs the books and folders into a bag he has been caring.

"I told you not to call me that!" Tsunade yells a vain showing on her face.

"He he" he says as he dodges a chair that is thrown at him. "Im sorry" Naruto whispers as he dodges the other chair getting thrown at him. He begins to walk to the door to meet Kakashi.

"Naruto before I forget I would like you to take part in the Chunin exam that will be in a few weeks." Tsunade hands Naruto a waver. "Who will be on my team I am sure all the other old Genin are Chunin by now." Naruto asks Tsunade. "Actually no your wrong there is one other who has not passed one yet." She said with a grim look on her face.

"Who is it?" Naruto asks a curious look on his face. Tsunade looks up at Naruto with a smirk "Hinata Hyuuga" she says. "What Hinata is still a Genin why?" Naruto asked her. "Because Naruto she has not been the same since you left she is more depressed and is only using half the strength I know she has." Tsunade says looking down on the file of Hinata she fished out of the desk. "I can arrange you and her into a team of two for the exam but you will be at a disadvantage."

Naruto looked up at the Hokake with a light shining in his eye "it wont matter we will pass the exam in a group of two I know what she is capable of doing."

Flashback

Three bug users stand in front of Hinata. Naruto, Shino, and Kiba are all in wax cocoons and can only watch as the three bug users send swarms of bees at Hinata. The bugs surround her and Hinata raises her fingers and activates her Byakugan. "Shugohakke Rokujyuu Yonshou" she yells as she moves her hands at blazing speed slicing every bee up with a thin line of charka. The big summoned be charges at her as Hinata gathers her charka and the bee fails as it is hit by Hinata's attack.

End Flashback

Naruto gives Tsunade a smile "is that all you need to tell me I want to get home and set up before it gets dark." Tsunade looks up at him "yes that is all for now if there is anything else ill send someone to bring you here." Naruto gets up the leave says goodbye and he walks out of the door. The door slams behind him.

Tsunade smiles "that kid is going to make something of him self." "Yes he will" says a voice behind her. Tsunade does not even look to see who it is. "What have I told you about knocking Jiraiya?" She asks her old team member. "Still have not lost you touch I see that's why you Hokage and I am not" Jiraiya tells Tsunade. She only smiles "the reason I am and you are not is because you said no when they asked you your to much in to your dirty books you perv." Jiraiya only laughs "any way the real reason I came I need your help." He says to Tsunade. Tsunade still does not look at him "if I told you once I told you a million times you will not see them." Jiraiya laughs harder "not this time I ment I need your help with Naruto." He says with a serious face. Tsunade finally looks up "what is that?" She asks. "Naruto is really excited that he can finally go after Sasuke but there is one thing I have not told him "Orochimaru became very ill so he had to transfer bodies again but Sasuke was else were so he had to use the body of a sound shinobi." Jiraiya stops for a minute then continues. "This means Naruto has another few years before Sasuke becomes a vessel." Tsunade looks at Jirayia a minute before speaking "Why have you not told him yet?"

Jiraya looks down and says "I did not want him running off to find Sasuke I am going to tell him but I would like to have a guard around him at all times because of the Akatsuki I need to insure he in safe at all times." Tsunade looks up at him "it will have to be a skilled Genin or Chunin we still don't have any high level ninja to spair ill go ask Naruto who he would prefer to have around him to guard him." "Thank you old friend" Jiraiya sasy as he flies out of the window. Tsunade looks at the picture of Naruto and sighs "this is going to be interesting."

"Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto yells ah he walks over to his old teacher who is busy reading Makeout Paradise "how have you been?"

Kakashi looks up at the old more mature Naruto "I see you have grown Naruto." Naruto smiles and points at him self "yes I have become much stronger I see you're the same old Kakashi always reading that book of yours."

Kakashi closes the book and sighs "well I got to go in a hour so lets take you to your new house" he says as he begins to walk down the hall.

Kakashi and Naruto walk out off the Hokage building and down the street to where the Hyuuga and Uchiha clan houses are located. They come to a huge house at the half way mark in the road about a half a mile away from the Hyuuga house. Naruto looks up wide eyed "this is my house it is as big as the Hyuuga manor." Kakashi looks over to Naruto "yes it is we wanted to wait till you were of age to give you it was too big for a 12 year old to use so we waited." Kakashi looks up at the sky "well I got to leave Naruto ill visit later" and with a swift movement he is gone.

Naruto looks over to the gate and unlocks it and steps inside the front yard. He walks to the door and unlocks it he turns on some lights to find a note on the closet door.

Dear Naruto

We placed all your old belongings in the master bed room on the second floor

Best of luck,

Tsunade

Naruto walk up the stairs "dam there must be like 60 rooms in this house." He finally finds the master bed room and walks in to find a pile of clothes a tv, a clock and a huge pile of instant ramen. "I forgot I owned to little." "Hey kit nice place you got here mind if I come out for some fun?" 'Hell no you dam fox why would I let you out you would trash the place.' "Your no fun at all just remember that next time you need me to show off to some girls." Naruto goes red 'that is the past forget about it'. Naruto grabs a towel and runs to take a shower.

Sakura is walking down the street to the Hokage's office when she spots a tall ninja dressed fully in green. "Hello Lee" Sakura says greeting him Lee looks over to a young women with long pink hair and a nice filled out body. "Hello Sakura you going to see the Hokage too walk with me." Sakura looks over at her friend "ok Lee-San" they walk together up to the Hokages office out side the door when they both walk in. "you wanted to speak with us" they said at the same time that when they noticed the file open with Naruto picture in it. "You still doing a file check on Naruto parents?" Sakura asked her Sensei.

Tsunade looks up at them "I am glad you both came I need you two to deliver this message to the Hyuuga clan I would go but I don't like that family that much." She hands them a letter. Sakura and Lee are about to leave when Tsunade speaks again "oh before I for get Sakura your old team member Naruto is back from training here is his address I thought you might want to say hi." Lee and Sakura's eyes light up at this sentence "comrade is back" Lee shouts "Naruto" Sakura whispers she had not seen him in a while. Sakura takes the piece of paper from Tsunade "thank you Sensi." Lee and Sakura walk down the street "I can't believe Naruto is back I want to see how strong he has gotten." Lee shouts. "Naruto is back!" this came from behind them as Lee and Sakura turn around they see six ninja standing. The first one is a tall character his face covered by sun glasses and a coat. The next has long bond hair in a pony tail and wears a skirt. Way to the back is a medium high guy riding a huge dog. In front of the dog stands a girl in a skirt also with buns in her hair. The two other characters are a pudgy ninja with swirls on his cheeks and a bag of chips in his hand the other has brown hair and a forehead protector on his arm.

"Hello Ino, Chouji, Shino, Kiba, Ten Ten, and Shikamaru." Sakura says a bit surprised that they were all hanging out together.

Ino looks Sakura a vain appearing in her forehead "you were not just about to visit Naruto and not invite us were you?" Sakura put her hands up in the air "no no we were just looking for you guys." 'I hope they believe me Ino is scary when angry'. The six ninja nodded and walk up to them "show us the way Lee we are coming too." Sakura turned back and continued to walk in the direction of the Hyuuga manor. "why are we walking to the Hyuugas I thought we were going to see Naruto before we delivered the message Sakura" Lees asked. "We are Lee Naruto's new house is on the same street as the Hyuugas and Uchihas." Sakura answered. After twenty minutes they arrived at Naruto's house "holy shit this house is as big as Hinatas" Kiba yelled. "When did he get enough to own his own clan house?" Ino asked. They all walked through the gate to the front of the house and knocked on the door. It took them only a minute to notice the shower was running. "Knock loader Sakura" Shino said. Before she could hit the door again the door creaped open. They peaked there head inside the house and saw two small frogs the first was orange the other was a bit fat and yellow.

"Hello" the frogs said "he is in the shower right now he will be out in a minute." Sakura pointed at the orange frog "I remember you helped us when we snuck into the sound village." The orange frog looked up at her "oh yes that was a few years ago fallow me to the living room." They all fallowed the frog to the living room were they sat down on the sofas while the other frog went to get Naruto. "I wonder

how much he has changed" Sakura says.

Naruto has just walked out off the shower with a towel around his waist. He has changed over the last few years all that training has shown as he is ripped six pack and all. He walks over to the dresser and puts on a black tank top and a pair of baggy sweatpants. Just then the frog hops in "Naruto you have some visiters down stairs I counted eight." The frog tells him.

'Eight people I wonder who they are' Naruto thinks to him self as he walks down the stairs.

Everyone is talking to themselves on the sofas when Sakura and Ino see a tall muscular ninja walk down the stairs "who is that hott guy over there they ask Ten Ten." Ten Ten looks over and smiles. "That looks like Naruto to me see he got the same hair. Sakura looks "holy shit that is Naruto" she tells Ino going red from embarrassment.

Naruto just gets fully down the stairs and looks over at the crowd of people who are wide eyed staring at him. 'hmm I was told there are 8 people here but in only see 7' Naruto thoughts are interrupted as a green blur runs up to him putting him into a crushing hug.

"Comrade I have missed you" Lee says as he crushes Naruto in a hug. "Lee" Naruto says as Lee finally stops the hugging. Lee smiles and drags Naruto over to the others. Naruto instantly recognizes them "Kiba, Ten Ten, Ino, Shikamru, Chouji, Sakura, Shino how have you been my friends"

The girls instantly tackle Naruto hugging him to death with a grip even more powerful then Lee's "We missed you" the girls all say at once. The guys on the other hand look at him for a minute before Kiba and Shino rescue him from the group of hugging girls. "How you been doing?" The guys ask at once.

"Wow it is really great to see you guys" Naruto says as he sits over on a couch next to Sakura. "Wow you are almost all here where is Neji and Hinata?" Naruto asks "They are at the clan house they don't know your home yet." Sakura says. The rest of the day was spent catching up on the sofas. Naruto then looked at the clock to notice it was midnight "Dam time sure flies" The other notice the clock too and there answers are a little different "holy shit my parents will kill me!" They all yell at once "Im sorry Naruto but we must leave" Sakura says giving Naruto a hug. Naruto looks at them and smiles "its ok I got to run to the Hyuuga manor for a minute anyway bye." They all go there separate ways.

Naruto is running full force in the direction of the Hyuuga house he arrives in about a half a minute. (not bad if I do say so myself) The gate was locked and he was not in the mood to ring it so he used his own way climbing the seven foot wall. On the other side of the wall was the house but what he did not expect was the figure standing behind him or the two fingers that hit him. He quickly turned around to see a much older Neji standing there with a smirk on his face. "What are you doing here at this hour Naruto?" He asked. Naruto looked at him for a minute knowing Neji is not one to get on your bad side. "I need to talk to Hinata about the Chunin exam and I thought I would surprise her." Neji expression changed to a more calm look "you do know I could kill you for stepping foot in Hyuga manor uninvited, and if you were anyone else I might." He then pointed to a window on the far left side. "She is over there just be quiet if her father finds out he wont be as forgiving oh and hands to your self." Naruto smiled "thanks Neji I will be." And with that he ran over to the window using his charka to allow him the walk up it.

A long dark hair girl sits at a desk writing in her diary since Naruto has left Hinata has grown her hair is not to her shoulders and she has developed many curves she has grown to a C cup. She sits there finishing her diary page on how much she missed Naruto and that is has been two and a half years that he left. 'I hope Naruto-Kun comes back soon' she tells her self as she closes the diary. She then goes into a deep sleep on the desk that is awoken by a tapping on the out side window. She turns on the light to see a strange but some what familiar figure holding on to it.
