(Meanings)

"I am too old for this.." came the half drunken candor from a woman that looked barely over her twentieth year of life in the cold cruel world. Yet that was not the truth, for the voice belonged to a certain Slug Princess of Leaf who was currently holding a half empty bottle of sake in his left hand as the other was in the process of falling off the arm rest of the Hokage's overstuffed chair.

It had been a long seven years, mused Tsunade as she straightened in the chair and placed the sake bottle onto the desk top. Seven years ago the council had pulled a large list of reasons to banish Naruto, most of which at the time the Godanime Hokage could do nothing about till they were proven false so she had to exile Naruto. She kept telling herself that, as more and more Hunter-nin were sent after him, yet more and more corpses or mental victims came back. Lucky none of the more intelligent ANBU or Hunters took up the task of hunting the Kyuubi vessel. Tsunade still remembered the last batch that was send home three months before the last reason for the exile was proven false and the council members responsible dealt with as traitors for lying to the Hokage and the Village. The medical reports of the corpses were to say the least bone chilling, only the lower jaws were returned so that the dead could be identified by denial records.

Then came the plan to get Naruto to come home that was dreamed up by Shikamura involving the Missing Nin in the northern regions, again Naruto showed that he worked better alone and with brutal yet efficient results. Now the whole business with the Iwa-nin, well hell, thought Tsunade no worst than what he has done in the past to Stone and other foes he had faced. But then came the cryptic message coupled with a fox kit that Kakashi had performed a mad dash to get home to tell her about.

A Tricky wind came through here and with it a Fox came to play. Now he heads to his den and awaits for his parents to return.

In the back of her mind she knew that it was a risky gamble to think that after all this time away that Naruto would return yet here was a message saying that he might do just that. It had been several hours after Kakashi had left to meet the caravan at the gates, and now as the Village began to quiet down once more she couldn't help but start to think that maybe just maybe tomorrow she'd awaken to hear a loud piercing voice cut the morning air like a Wind of Blade does an exposed throat. Yet she turned to look to the sky, not a cloud dwelled there and the stars had began to show.

"Come tomorrow...well lets hope shall we..,"She mutter to no one.

"He's coming home you know...,"came the reply from the window where the crouched figure of the aged Toad Hermit loamed. He looked the same for in truth only his wrinkles had deepened and his eyes seemed to be as old as the deep stones of the mountains.

"Maybe... who knows maybe he's just teasing us, a sort of punishment to us I would guess,"came the slow draw of a tired and slightly drunken Godanime which was accompanied with much blinking.

"I doubt that, it's just...part of me wants to look for him and yet part of me doesn't. Back a few years ago I tired once to find him, maybe I could have brought him in for questioning so all of this could have ended sooner. All I could find was dirt and old tracks that lead no where at all," Jiraiya said as he absently stared off to the horizon line.

"You know what would have happened... you two would have fought and one of you would have died," Tsunade said with a air of finality.

"I would have died, I make no mistake about my chances of fighting Naruto. I would much rather fight a freed Kyuubi for my chances would be much greater of living,"Jiraiya groaned with a slight chuckle, "My apprentice... my second apprentice and the son of my first. Karma is a cruel mistress that is truly cold hearted I tell you."

"Agreed,"Tsunade said as she nodded to her former teammate, "If and I mean if he returns..then what? I mean his home is gone, so where would he live. Wait I answered my own question didn't I, Toad. He'd simply have one built and he wouldn't even bloody well blink,"She choked out with a laugh which was shared by both at the irony of it all. Konohagakure was in a war, had just finished rebuilding and was hurting for funds yet an exile Leaf shinobi was most likely one of the most wealth shinobi alive.

"Well cross that bridge when we get too it," said Jiraiya as he smiled half-heartily back at his female teammate. His face darkened as his eyes turned back outwards towards the distance horizon, there were wicked storm clouds brewing for even from here he could see lighting flash as it rolled across the sky. Yet something else caught his attention, three crows were flying towards the Hokage's monument, to the untrained and unschooled mind that might not seem odd if not for a simple concept. Crows never flew in groups fewer than five, it was in their nature, think it would be best if he scored out the possible threat just to set his own war addled mind at easy.

"Tsunade-hime," He said quietly to which he received a 'hn' from the slightly drunken Sannin, "I am going to check on something. If you hear fighting call a ANBU squad up to the Hokage's Monument , okay?"

"Alright Toad but why...," She had turned the chair to address him yet Jaraiya was no longer there only a open window and flapping curtains. "I wonder... just come back alive Toad... I have already lost far too much."

With that she picked up the bottle of sake and gazed at it, then frowned throwing the bottle across the room to hear a soul heartening crash as the bottle broke against the unforgivening wall. Damn stuff still doesn't lessen the damn pain, She though bitterly as she gazed out the window onto her village as it began to settle in to the sleepy embrace of night.

Jaraiya leapt as quickly as his legs would allow him from roof to roof in a mad attempt to meet the crows when they landed on the faces, why even him did not know yet something told him something was going to happen and happen soon up on the faces of the Hokages of old. Thinking quickly he focused chakra to the bottoms of his feet and sprinted up the gap between First and Second faces only to be greeted with a unforseen sight.

There upon the carved face of his students were three completely robed figures, two of whom were standing while a smaller figure was sitting with his legs dangling off the edge of the Fourth's hair. That was not the fact that Jiraiya was nervous, their chakra was so well hidden that even he a Sannin couldn't find it yet they stood their plain as day. He performed a simple 'Kai' to check for genjutsu and then he bit on his tongue hard just for good measure, still the three figures remained. Though their chakra signatures could not be scented, an staggering aura of power flowed off of each of the figures like the ripple of a pond after a pebble had been dropped into it. Preparing himself for battle by subtly drawing the chakra needed for the Rasegan into both hands, he leapt as quietly as he could onto the Fourth's head merely twenty feet from the figures, to non shinobi this would be ideal distance but to skilled shinobi this was like putting your neck into your opponent's hands and daring them to break it.

Yet not one of the three moved till the smallest of the figures turned his head and looked dead at Jiraiya. Slowly the figures' hands moved up and pulled down the cowl to reveal the head of Hitorik with a Naruto-ish grin.

"Look whose here it's Ojiisan, Chichioya (informal way of saying Father)!," Hitorik chimed excitedly as he back flipped up into a standing position.

"Hai that it is, so tell me Ero-Ojiisan have you missed me?," As this was said the tallest figure pulled down his hood to reveal himself as the returned twenty-five year old Uzumaki Naruto. As he did this Ryousika also removed his hood and had a small grin on his face as he choked back laughter at the look on Jiraiya's face.

Jiraiya's face went through some many emotions all at once, happiness, sadness, embarrassment and then vein popping rage. "SEVEN YEARS YOU HAVE BEEN GONE AND YOU ASK ME THAT! YES I HAVE MISSED YOU BAKA-GAKI!," then too this day Jiraiya had no idea why but he hugged the most feared and dreaded shinobi every to be born of Konohagakure like he would disappear.

Naruto just smiled as he patted the man on the back there while his sons looked on in awe at the two.

"I am back to stay this time sensei, I am back to stay," was all Naruto said quietly as Jiraiya tried his best to hug the live out of his apprentice/adopted grandson. Then Jiraiya realized something the small one had called Naruto, Dad.

"Naruto who are the kids?,"asked Jiraiya as he broke the embrace with his returned student.

"My adopted sons of course," Naruto said beaming with pride at both of his sons.

"Aww I thought.."Jiraiya was cut off as Naruto bonked him on the head.

"No perverting my kids sensei!," Naruto said in a raised tone, "The short little ball of energy is Hitorik and the quiet yet mysterious one is Ryousika." Both of which sent death glares at their father for the way he introduced them to Jiraiya.

That was when Jiraiya looked at both of the Naruto's adopted sons with more than a cursor glance. Hitorik's face held child like wonder as he meant the gaze of Jiraiya, for this was the man had been like a father to his father. Those bright chocolate brown eyes that seemed to ensnare you with a glance and draw you in like the tide on a beach. Long pitch black hair that was braided tightly closed off with a strangle metal band with blunted spikes. His face at that age was handsome and Jiraiya knew that the child would break the hearts of any woman he meet with just a smile as he grew.

Then Jiraiya's eyes meet with the unique green eyes of Ryousika, they were the eyes of a warrior born and bred. Jiraiay's flicked to his forehead seeing the two dots that shown him as one of the few Kaguya still alive. A slow smile crossed Jiraiya, Leaving it to Naruto to find strays a give them a family and hope. Ryousika looked ever bit the warrior with his shoulder length silverily white hair cut in the traditional style of mist shinobi, Naruto must have wanted him to remember his roots, Jiraiya mused. Yet the look on Ryousika face was happy if Jiraiya could judge him right, Naruto must be a excellent father if the boys are this happy with him, again mused Jiraiya. Ryousika's face held the aristocratic allure that would make most teenager girls his age drool, yet he seemed humble for the tales Jiraiya had heard of the Kaguya clan of Mist.

"Gashi Jiraiya-ojiisan," came the soft tone of Ryousika as he smiled at Jiraiya in attempt to ease the Toad Sannin mind.

"How do I have the feeling I am about to be tackled..." Jiraiya said this Hitorik tackled him to the ground and sat in the center of Jiraiya's chest only to begin poking Jiraiya's nose with a cheeky smile on his face. "Hitorik could you.."

"Only if you ask Ojiisan,"Hitorik smiled as he spoke with his brother and father laughing merrily in the background.

"Okay okay... just like your dad you know that, ne gaki," Jiraiya said before ruffling Hitorik hair to which his nose was flicked before Hitorik hopped up off Jiraiya's chest. "It's great to hear your laughter again Naruto hasn't been the same around here you know baka without you."

"Aye I bet it hasn't so how about some ramen before anything else?," asked Naruto as turned to walked down the face of the mountain like a simple path.

"Hai I would enjoy that, you coming Jakutei(Younger Brother)? How about you Ojiisan?," asked Ryousika as he walked down the face after his father.

"Hai, we'll be there in a second," Jiraiya grinned evilly down at Hitorik, "Hitorik how would you like to ride something cool?"

"One of your toads Ojiisan?," Hitorik asked tilting his head to the side to which Jiraiya faltered before regaining his place.

"Hai... let me guess your father told you about them,"Jiraiya asked to which he received a nod, "Then how about I teleport us there?"

"Hai,"Hitorik shouted happily before Jiraiya grabbed his shoulder and they disappeared in a swirl of leafs to Ichiraku leaving only the wind on top of the monument.

When all four reached the Ramen Bar ran by the kind Ichiraku family, they found it hadn't changed much in the long time Naruto had been away, true it was bigger and true it held more space in back for the kitchen coupled with a wider menu yet it warmer Naruto's heart to see something from his past that was good memory still intact. He turned to his son and smiled at Ryousika before flipping his hood up but not before flashing Ryousika a cheeky smile then stepping under the curtain into the stand but paused as Jiraiya and Hitorik flashed into existence behind him.

"I am going to surprise the Old man and Ayame-chan with being back just don't mention my name ne?," came the lower voice of Naruto while Ryousika grinned behind his father before giving his brother and grandfather a thumbs up. Only to get a snicker from Hitorik and shake of the head from Jiraiya.

Behind the counter stood the two newer chefs of the stand, Matsu & Nishi , with a older Ayame walking about taking orders behind the stand. They years had been kind to Ayame turning a pretty young teenager of Naruto's youth into a beautiful woman of the present. She still worn her hair the same way yet her face and body had matured into what it was now, a body of a virgin goddess yet if Naruto remembered they way Iruka looked at her she mind not be a virgin any longer. At this thought Naruto shook his head before sighing, he had been away for far too long yet just enough to become fond of this place once more. No one was at the stand at the moment so when Naruto dressed in his traveling robes came into it they sent their full attention onto him and Ryousika.

They both sat down on a stool and humbly waited for Hitorik to dash in, which he did in true eight year old style before leaping onto a stoop and spinning to which he received a chuckle from the cooks and his family. When Jiraiya stepped in, Ayame and the cooks simply belted out a warm round of greetings ranging from.

"Gashi Jiraiya-sama," from Nishi and Matsu while they prepared themselves to make anything the Sannin order because of the last seven years he had become their second best customer.

"Gashi Ero-sama,"quipped Ayame with a half smirk that made the resting Sannin response in true Jiraiya style of sulking at the pretty woman's remark.

"Ahh so cold yet so beautiful," shot back Jiraiya to which Ayame blushed slightly, "well whatever these three wish to eat it is.."

"I believe that I will pay for this meal Jiraiya-sama, after all I have heard so many good things of this humble stand from a old friend," stated Naruto in his deepened voice.

"Oh and where have you heard of us, hmm?," asked Ayame awhile she smiled at the adorable Hitorik as he poked the side of Ryousika as they sat side by side. Each time Hitorik would receive a tired glare from those exotic green eyes.

"From a wandering shinobi with blonde hair and whisker marks," Naruto said smiled at Jiraiya gleaming eyes as they watched Ayame pause at that fact.

"When did you see this man," came the shaky voice of Ayame as she closed her eyes as if bracing for a long period of time.

"Today, about two hours from here," Naruto said as he idly played with his chopsticks while Ryousika stared at the menu longingly.

"Ahh, that would be Naruto it hasn't been the same without around.." She voice trailed off as she shook her head as if to banish the memories into her mind once more. "We here have missed as have other, it's been.."

"Seven years, five months and fifteen days since I have had a good bowl of ramen," with that Naruto pulled down his hood to reveal the man he had become, to which Ayame dropped the empty bowl she as holding in shock.

To Ayame eyes before her was a version of the Fourth Hokage yet the man before her was more feral, more dark and more competing. In a word he was breath-taking, yet terrifying all in the same visage. Ayame's mouth began to work yet no words would form as she looked upon the matured little boy that had been like a little brother to her all those years ago. Tears began to form in her eyes as she reached over the counter and hugs him tightly unknownly thrusting his face between her well developed breasts too which Naruto's eyes when wide, while Hitorik looked on before dropping backward in a style most befitting an anime character, while Ryousika laughed long and hard at the nose bleed Jiraiya now had.

"It's nice to see you too Ayame-chan yet I do need to breath," mutter Naruto into Ayame's chest.

"Oh sorry about that..hehe..kind of got carried away," smiled Ayame as she released Naruto and she stepped back to see the other two with him.

"Their my adopted sons, Ayame so think of them as your nephews if you will," said Naruto as he rubbed the back of his neck as he grinned sheepishly.

"Okay then," Ayame smiled as she turned around to clean up the bowl pieces only to find them gone and already in the trash.

"I took care of it Ayame-san," said Ryousike in his slow calm voice.

"Ahh, already then what will you guys have then?," She said smiling at the four.

"Five bowl of Miso Ramen for me as a starter coupled with some of your duck dumplings and two smoked fish," said Naruto with blinking as he motioned to Hitorik to order.

"I'll have two bowls of duck ramen with some shrimp stir fry and brown rices please," said Hitorik with a big cheesy grin.

"Four Bowls of Chicken Ramen, with some Aphen and beef Tataki please," stated Ryousika calmly as drool began to pool at the corner of his mouth.

"I'll have what Naruto is having," stated Jiraiya as he just looked on amused at the busy cooks.

"H..ai," stated Ayame nervously as he turned to aid the cooks.

"You sure about this Naruto?," asked Jiraiya as he relaxed on his stool.

"Hai, I can afford that and much more if your still hungry without using one of my larger funds," stated Naruto as he furrowed his brow before grinning evilly to himself.

"I know that look Chichioya, what do you have planned?,"asked Ryousika as he peered at his father.

"Nothing nothing just thinking of a good use for one of my funds," stated Naruto as he absently waved his hand at Ryousika.

"Right," Ryousika said quietly as he thought back to the first time his father did such a thing it was the formation of his mercenary offices and company in Wave known as the Crimson Tide. It was the Wave's version of a hidden village yet all of it's money was slip into three, one share for the company whom paid Naruto every three months a tribute fund, another went to the mercenary shinobi which was usually a large sum and then the last when to the government to help fund the economy.

"Here is your food," shouted Ayame as she, Nishi and Matsu came carrying a large among of steamy and mouth watering food that was sat before the four.

"Itadakimasu!," came the choirs of hungry patrons as they dung into the well prepare food with almost demonic fervor.

"This is great Ayame-san," mused Ryousika as he finished his first bowl of ramen and began to devour the sweet bean filled bread known as Aphen.

"Domo," said Ayame as she watched in awe and horror at the speed at which Naruto's sons ate. While Naruto seemed to be eating slowly and enjoying the taste along side Jiraiya, yet the true nightmare was Hitorik. He looked well feed, which knowing Naruto was true for he would starve before his own child so they could eat, yet he ate like a man about to face death itself.

"Hitorik-kun please slow down you'll regret it if you don't," stated Naruto as he bit into one of his fish savoring the taste.

"Hai Chichioya," quipped as he paused long enough to answer before beaming at the cooks, " This is great, you guys out did yourself!," shouted while pushing aside a empty ramen bowl onto the pile that was formed by him and Ryousika.

"Domo Hitorik-san," stated the two chefs while Ayame just shook her head in awe.

"My I ask you something Ayame-san?," asked Ryousika as he set aside a ramen bowl before wiping off his mouth.

"Hai Ryousika-san?," asked Ayame while she leaned against the preparing counter.

"Do you happen to serve breakfasts here?," smiled Ryousika as he began to eat his duck dumplings.

"Hai.. We open at 7 in the mornings,"said Ayame as she eyed the growing mount of disks.

"Domo," said Ryousika as he grinned at Hitorik while Naruto just shook his head.

"Just promise me something Ayame-chan," said Naruto to which he got Ayame attention, " don't let them eat only ramen make them eat some healthy food for breakfast if I am not around them to make sure."

"Hai I can do that," she smiled at the younger boys happily as they finished up their dishes and looked content. A few minutes later Naruto and Jiraiya had finished their meals before Naruto asked for the bill.

"Hai," Ayame said while she passed the large bill to Naruto whom smiled and pulled out the among needed coupled with three large bags. Too which Ayame whom was stagger by the among so easily paid looked at in awe.

"Within each bag among of money that one would get paid for ten S-class missions for Leaf or any of the larger nations," smiled Naruto as he pushed the bags to Ayame. "Please take this as payment for the ramen I would have ate if I had remained."

"Naruto we couldn't," Ayame stammered to which Naruto just smiled at her.

"Yes you can Ayame-chan, if not for that just think of this as a investment as a partner so that fine stand stays open,"Naruto said easily as he reached over the counter and hugged Ayame before waving at the three as he left smiling with Jiraiya shaking his head beside him.

"Chichioya loves this place from all the stories he told us, I think he was right to give you that," said Ryousika smiling as he hopped up and walked away.

"Hai, see you tomorrow Ayame-nee-san," Hitorik chimed as he spun around and dashed off after his brother and father.

"Naruto... Naruto.. Naruto, hehehe welcome back home. Now what to do with this money?," asked Ayame to no one yet everyone.

"More menu items?," asked Matsu as he rubbed his neck.

"Hai with those guys here we'll need them," Ayame said as they began the dark task of cleaning the dishes.

"So tell me sensei, how are all of the rookie nine now a days?," asked Naruto as he leaned up against a fence not far from where he first met Gaara during the Chunin Exam.

"Lee-san finally married Sakura-san about the first year of your 'vacation'," Jiraiya said as he gauged naruto's reaction which was a happy smile.

"Good Bushy Brow Junior finally married Sakura-chan, any children yet?," asked Naruto as Ryousika balanced a kunai tip first on the end of his index finger.

"Aye, their first child they named after Gai," Naruto smiled at this and chuckled gently, "and two little twin girls a year younger than their brother named Ayame and Ino."

"That must have made Ino feel old," Naruto stated as he smiled with pride at Hitorik who was practicing his water control by making balls then moving them in fast patterns.

"Aye, speaking of which Ino-san and Choji-san married about the same time as Lee and Sakura, and before you ask yes they had kids, a little girl with Ino eyes and Choji hair,"Jiraiya said while smiling at that fond memory.

"Bloodline ability?," asked Naruto.

"Ino's and his if memory serves," said Jiraiya while stroking his chin.

"Are Neji and Hinata still married," asked Naruto because as he remembered the Hyuuga family had married them two years before his banishment by the council which thankful the Hyuuga tired to fight against.

"Aye they are and it's a loving marriage for a arranged one, Neji from all accounts is a passionate and devote husband while Hinata is a tender loving wife. They did have triplets, all boys," Jiraiya said grinning, " They named the eldest after you."

Naruto smiled broadly before laughing into the night with such force that it echoed through the city.

"Ahh, I have to talk Neji and Hinata next time I see them,"Naruro said in a merry voice as Hitorik and Ryousika smiled at their father as the moved closer to him to listen to their grandfather.

"Kiba is still single but is dating some hunter-nin named Nori, Tenten still single but looking if memory serves," To this Naruto raised an eyebrow but he nodded, "Shino is in ANBU so I have no idea maybe a fellow ANBU member," said Jiraiya as he watched as Hitorik began to form shapes with his water control and Ryousika going through a simple Tai-chi route.

"What of the senseis?,"asked Naruto as he pulled out a flute make of white oak.

"Kureni and Asuma are still together and Kureni expecting twins last I checks,"Jiraiya said as he watched Naruto chuckled before playing a gentle song that spoke of gentle winds and soft tides. "Iruke is married a woman named Yugao Uzuki from ANBU, now that was a happy wedding they have five kids, four in school and one still in diapers. The eldests the also named after you, your dad and then the third."

Naruto paused in his playing to smile into the night air at that, leave it to Iruka-sensei to name his children after me, dad and the Third. Then Naruto motioned for him to continue as he noticed Ryousika pulling out a violin from one of the hidden sealed pouched within his robe, then they began to play the same song this time along with the gentle breezes coupled with tides came a gentle rain.

"Gai is still training and teaching like a mad man, saying that he must recapture the 'Flames of Youth',"Jiraiya smiled as he listened along with Hitorik before Hitorik began to hum with the song making it seem like a gentle sea side rain. "Kakashi married Anko of all people," now this gave Naruto paused before he burst into tear bringing laughs, "They live near the Forest of Death now," Jiraiya had to shout slightly to let Naruto hear which he must have for he nodded.

"Aside from them, Temari, you know Gaara's sister," Naruto nodded, " has been asking after you and is now the liaison for Sunagakure now so she lives here. Shizune married Genma about the same day just a few minutes after Sakure married Lee. While myself and Tsunade are single as always,"Jiraiya said slowly to which he was hugged by Hitorik whom was patted on the head by Jiraiya.

"What about Sasuke?," asked Naruto as he placed his flute away as Ryousika keep on playing a so western world song that sound eerily like Beethoven.

"Well after you brought him back before becoming a Jounin he settled down after the probation period as you know," Naruto nodded at that, "He married another one of the Sound Elite that left about the same time, I think she fought Temari and Shikamura but survived. I think her name is Tayuya she a fire brand if I ever meet one. They have had about two sons and three daughters."

"Good least chance he'd do something stupid, parenthood tends to beat that out of you," Naruto quipped as he hugs Hitorik one handed.

"Aye that is most have seeing you so calm and mellowed," Jiraiya said smiling slightly.

"Agreed, so shall we head to Tsuande and check in?," asked Naruto before smiling as Ryousika finished his song and placed his violin away.

"I think that be best before she kills me for not taking you to her, she been the most worried of us Naruto," Jiraiya said as they started the slow journey to the tower.

"I know, I know she did what she had too for she had no real choice ne," Naruto said casually.

"Chichioya should we do what you did to Ayame-san and Ojiisan to Obaachan?," asked Ryousika in a slightly excited voice.

"Hai, I think it would be best so hoods but boys," said Naruto as he patted Ryousika back and Hitorik heads with his well worn hands.

"One second, I have plan," Jiraiya said before performing the needed seals for the summoning jutsu before biting his thumb and slamming in on the ground before calling out, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu."

Where his palm once was a puff of sound appeared along with the small form of Gamakichi. The small toad looked up too see the towering figures of Jiraiya and Naruto smiling down at him.

"Yo, how it going guys?," Gamakichi called up to them.

"As well as well can be expected, could you hop over to Tsunade and tell her to gather the Rookie Nine as quickly as possible along with their Sensei. If you do I'll give you four pounds of foreign candy called gummy worms ne?" requested the aging Toad Hermit.

"Your on!," shouted Gamakichi as he dashed as fast as his little legs could take him to the Hokage tower.

"We'll take the long way so they can be gathered okay guys?," begged Jiraiya.

"Okay Ojiisan," answered Hitorik as he hopped up onto the fence to walk it's tips like a high top wire.

"I am fine with I Chichioya is okay with it," said Ryousika as he played with two kunai as they twirled between his fingers on both hands two to each.

"Hai, we'll give them a few minutes to gather together," Naruto stated as they walked along quietly into the early night.
