Chapter 1: A Hero Emerges For Them

It has been three years since the most potential ninja in the village left. Everything has been quiet for the most part, except for a certain purple-haired kunoichi has been too preoccupied on his return. Most people he knew kept waiting for him, in one way or the other, while the rest just ignored that fact, and kept on training, hoping to become better or just like him.

It was the deadline for him to return, and at the gates of Konoha, three ninjas were walking inside. One of them was an old man, with long white hair, a saoshi on, and high sandals on. The second was wearing a red yukata with blue japanese pants, had red hair that hung in a ponytail, blue eyes, a scar over and down his left eye, and was carrying a red hilted one with a blue scabbard on his left waist.

The third and last was the youngest. He had blue eyes that look like a clear ocean, blonde hair with green streaks that was greased up in a wavy school student fashion, a white mask over his entire face in which the only thing you could see was his eyes. The boy was sporting aqua jeans, with white and blue striped sneakers. He also sported a white t-shirt and a jacket that had the same color as his jeans. There was also a green and blue gem around his neck.

As they approached the gate, they were stopped by two chunin.

"State your name and business." One of them said.

"I am the Toad Sannin Jiraiya, this is a friend of mine named Yuuki Kenshin, and the last is my prized pupil, Uzumaki Naruto." Stated the white haired one. They each looked at the boy in the white mask, and could see the blue in his eyes.

"Oh sorry! My mistake! We'll let you in right away!" They both said, letting the group in at once. As they past, one of them turned to the other.

"Did you see that kid, the one he called Naruto?" He said. The other nodded.

"Hai. He looks as if he had a huge major change in him, and something about those eyes, he seems different from the boy who left before." He stated. "We better inform the Hokage about this. You know how she feels for this kid."

As they dispersed, the three were already in town.

"Naruto, how about you go get reacquainted with the town? Me and Kenshin have to be somewhere now." Suggested the Toad Sannin.

"Don't go peeping." Naruto stated, and left in a flash. He kept walking, until he made his way to his old training ground. He kept walking around, and fighting in the distance. He could easily make out the figures in there:a girl in a white chinese shirt in green cargo pants. She had brown hair in the shape of two buns and the most chocolate eyes you could find. She was sparring with a girl in a thick purple sweater with blue pants. She had purple long hair that hung down to her back spine, and the whitest eyes you can imagine. He recognized them immediately, and jumped into the fray.

"Hey! Who are you!?" Shouted the brown-haired girl. She stared at the figure, and stopped at his chest. 'Wow! He's so well built! I feel like I want to touch them! Wait..What am I saying?! This guy doesn't even know me, nor do I know him!!' She shook her thoughts and came back to reality.

Hinata kept looking at him, and felt like she was blushing brightly. 'This man...he came out of nowhere, and I didn't see him. But why does he seem familiar??' She asked herself in her head.

"You forgotten about me already huh? I guess I don't make that much of an impression on people." He spoke, then made a laugh.

Hinata gasped at the sound of his voice, then used her Byakugan to try and peek through the mask, but something was blocking her.

"That mask is somehow blocking my Dojutsu from seeing him! Who are you?!" Naruto then placed his hand on the mask, and moved it to the left side of his skull, to reveal a handsome face, with three whiskers on each face, and a smile planted on it. The two looked at him, and could feel as red as a tomato.

"Naruto!? Is that really you?!!?" Tenten asked, running up closer to him. Hinata only gazed at him, and tried as hard as possible not to pass out again, or stare too much as him, trailing downwrd and getting a nosebleed.

"Yup. I'm back. I also wish to say that I want you guys not to tell anyone else that I've returned. Beyond you two, my senseis, and probably Tsunade-sama, I really wish to surprise everyone on a party I'm having. But enough of that, how are things going with you guys?!" He said, removing his vest to lay in on the ground for them to sit on. Tenten and Hinata blushed even deeper shades of red, an stared at his rippled chest and abs. The bushi master wanted to walk to him and just feel on them, but retrained herself, knowing that he wouldn't approve.

'He's even sexier than Neji used to be! But maybe if I ask him out, I can start something with him...' She thought, with a very happy smile on her face. "Oh I'm just fine. I got even better at my kenjutsu. Lee finally recovered from his injuries, and Neji-teme became a jonin. Everyone else from your class and mine became chunin...Hey! Since when do you call her by her name?!"

Naruto felt a bit discourage that he was the only one left from the rookie nine, excluding Sasuke because he defected, who is still a genin. It was like he failed the exams again, and was left behind like before. HE shook it off, and smiled. "That's great. But why did you call Neji a bastard? Isn't he like your boyfriend now?"

She shook her head, and sat down, a bit of sadness inside. "A year after you left, I told him my feelings for him. I don't know why, but he rejected me!" She was holding a stick while talking, and it started to break in two. Tears then came down her eyes. "I thought about forgetting about him, and being with Lee, but with him always being around Sakura, and her starting like him more, I don't think I have a chance." Hinata went to her and placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.

"Atleast she's not the kind of girl who thinks about her looks than her skills. She used to be that, but she changed after you left. I can forgive Lee for that, but I hate Neji! He didn't even give me a reason, or a chance!" She yelled out, punching the ground. Naruto went towards the two of them.

"TEnten, you do realize the mistake he made right? He gave up the chance to be with a girl who has the skills to become stronger than many of the people around him, even himself. I'm not even sure if what I said made sense." Naruto said, causing the two of them to look at him.

"TEnten, you have excellent marksmanship, and you never miss the target. You have kenjutsu skills and many others that would make most ninjas jealous." He said, then leans in closer. "And between you and me, you look way better than Sakura-chan does." HE then chuckles, and backs away, leaving her to stare at him with a major blush. Hinata glared at Tenten, with hate and jealously in her eyes for Naruto gave her a compliment about her looks.

"And you Hinata," He continues, causing her to stare at him. "You may not have had anything to do with this conversation, but you have something no otehr kunoichi will have either: kindness beyond good and evil. You always fight to keep people safe, and never in your life do you feel the feel the need to take things beyond your job description. In a way you both are just like me, if only a little." HE finishes up, and stands them up, reaching down to put on his vest. The two girls stared at him for a sec.

"I'm heading off to my place to stay and rest. Remember, don't tell anyone about me yet, savvy? Anyway, sayonara Ten-chan, Hina-chan." He shouts to them, then leaves for home. The two girls were still staring into space, completely red, and staring in the air. One of them finally got up, and looked at the still gazing face of her purple-haired friend.

"Hinata, you can stop gaping at him. He's gone." Tenten announces. Hinata snaps out of her gaze, and looks at her. "Oh, it's nice to see him again. Tenten, do you have a crush on Naruto-kun?"

TEnten was taken back a few, looking at her directly. "Of course not! What gave you that idea?" She states.

"You were blushing the entire time he was here." She points out, which causes her to blush even more, and get a bit angry. "Tenten, do you remember that party we had months ago, with me, you, Sakura, that sand girl Temari, Anko, Shizune-san, Ino, and Kurenai-sama, right?"

Tenten thinks back to it, and nods. "Of course, but it was more of a slumber party than a regular one. Although that sadistic snake chunin wasn't there either. Don't know why though, but why did you bring that up?"

"You see, well, remember the particular game we played?" She spoke, almost in the same habit she used to do before she got more confident. Tenten kept thinking, and flicked her fingers.

"Oh yeah! That's right! It was truth or dare, and we all had to take turns, and ask someone a truth about something or to do something. And when it hi-" She paused, remembering something she had almost forgotten.

"That's right. It was my turn, and I had truth. Temari asked me who I had a crush on, so I spoke it out, and well, uh, I...said-"

"You said Naruto, I know." Tenten interupted, looking at the ground, sighing. "I get it. You wish to pursue the man you always had a crush on, which means you don't want me to..." She began to raise her head in a cheery smiling mood. "So, I'll help you with that! Tomorrow we'll go set you up with him, alright?!"

"Are you sure you're ok with this, Ten-chan? I mean you never really enjoyed being torn apart like this." Hinata could tell she was doing the exact same thing Naruto does to hide his feelings, and it wasn't fooling her. "I'm fine Hinata. There are always more fish in the sea, and what not! Why don't you go home for now? You have a big day tomorrow."

"Ano, ok. I'll see you later." The Hyuga Heiress bowed to her, and left for home. Tenten kept on smiling, until she was out of sight, then slowely, but surely, her face faultered, returning to the same state as before. She rose to her feet, and walked over to a tree. With one punch and a scream added she broke through it, the top part falling to the ground. The bushi ninja stomped onto the tree, as she headed home.

Elsewhere...

Back with Naruto, he made it to his place. But just before he could unlock it, he gets stopped. Two hands placed on his shoulders made him turn around, and sees two people he automatically knew.
