It has been more than two and a half years now since Uzumaki Naruto; The Fenikkusu Sannin of Konoha left the village to train. During that time a lot has changed. Konoha's Genjutsu Mistress had finally become a Jounin, with her friend Konoha's Snake Mistress who was now a special jounin. A certain Inu masked Anbu Captain left his Anbu duty to become a full pledge Jounin. Also rumor about the Fenikkusu Sannin has spread through out the shinobi world, and when shinobi of another country heard that he was child of age 12 they would laugh thinking that Konoha is making anyone a member of Sannin these days, because they were probably desperate to keep the title going. In spite of that Iwa and Kumo decided to make Naruto an S-class nin ordered to kill on site, because he looked exactly like the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha. The new-formed village Oto also made him an S-class nin, because he had killed several dozen of their Jounin and Chuunin thus pissing off the self proclaimed Otokage.

There was also another shinobi that was making name for himself though no one actually saw him, because he was simply too fast to see. Not even several squads of Anbu from Iwa were any match for him. Before they even knew what hit them, they were laying in their own pool of blood. He would come and simply disappear. Whenever this ninja comes and leaves there would be a trail of orange that would also disappear with the wind a second later so there would be no way to follow him. He called himself Senkou no Kami and the only reason anyone knew this was due to the time when he killed several Iwa Anbu squads who were rumored to have slaughtered a tiny town on the border of Fire and Earth where he left a small black plate with the kanji for Senkou no Kami in the middle of the mangled corpses of the Iwa Anbu.

During this time Naruto managed to create his own kenjutsu style that was impossible for anyone not of his blood to use. Aside from that he also added more jutsu to his arsenal and increased his natural speed, which was extremely important for the kenjutsu style he created. He also trained with all the different kinds of Phoenix who taught him some jutsu and teamwork. He would usually train about 8 hours a day and the rest would go between eating, taking shower, sleep, and hunting missing nin`s for some extra cash. He also formed his own spy network that in his opinion was pretty good.

It was now officially three and a half years since Naruto left and the Hokage was wondering when Naruto would return do to the self imposed return date he set for himself was drawing near. Then there was a knock on the door, before it opened suddenly and in came three people. The first could be identified, as Hatake Kakashi who was currently reading Icha Icha Paradise, second was his son Sarutobi Asuma, and the last one was the rookie jounin Yuuhi Kurenai.

Asuma is the first one to speak up as he asked a question, "Hokage-sama, why have you called us here today?" before he lit a new cigarette.

"As you all know we have a batch of students who will be graduating tomorrow from the academy. Only the passing students will be picked to become rookie gennin and…” trailed off the Old Kage while taking a silent puff on his pipe.

"That's where we come in don't we?" said Kakashi putting away his book with a sigh as he was not looking forward to this.

"Hai I want you three to take teams and I know Kurenai that you are a rookie jounin, but I think that the experience will be good for you and beside your team and Kakashi's team will be a joint team since there is uneven number of students so you have nothing to worry about. That is if they pass, which I am pretty sure they will." The Sandaime finished as he let out a puff of smoke.

"So who will I be getting?" asked Kakashi lazily.

"You'll get the Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura, with Kurenai getting Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuuga Hinata, and Aburame Shino. Asuma you'll be getting the next generation Ino-Shika-Cho trio, oh and Kakashi, don't be late or you'll be doing D-rank mission for the next year." said Hokage in a serious tone making Kakashi take up on the threat. "That's all for now, you three are free to leave." getting nods from all three as they vanished in a puff of smoke.

A mile away from Konoha a figure was speeding toward Konoha at incredible speed. The figure had blond hair with red tips that was spiky which went down to the middle of his shoulder blades, along with his beautiful blue eyes. He had a face men would kill for and women would drool over. He had a forehead protector that was tied around his forehead with black cloth identifying him as a shinobi. The insignia on it was unseen since his hair covered it. On his back was a sword with black sheath. Currently he was wearing a black sweater with a gray shinobi pants and on his right thigh was a kunai hostler. He was also wearing black ninja sandals, and over his sweater was a black trench coat with orange flame licking the bottom of it and also on the bottom of the short sleeves. On the back of the cloak there was the kanji for "Fenikkusu." Before he arrived in front of Konoha's gate he put a black mask over his face for he feared the plague known as…Fan-girls!

Two Chuunin stopped in front of him whom he didn't recognize and one of them said, "Halt, state you name and reason for coming to Konoha." while on the inside both thought, "hmmm, he looks familiar."

"Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha returning from his training mission." said Naruto in a laid back tone that while showing he`s slightly bored, also commanded respect.

This made both Chuunin eyes wide and they hurried and said, “Gomen-nesai Naruto-sama, we didn't recognize you with that mask on." Naruto waved his hand and said it didn't matter before he left in a swirl of black and orange flames that made both of the Chuunin gape mouths ajar considering they never saw any types of shunshin like this one.

The Hokage was currently reading a certain orange book and was pretty caught up in it since he hadn't sensed anyone lingering around the office, when suddenly he saw flames swirl around a figure he quickly put a his book and assumed a relaxed yet defensive posture in his chair. As the flames vanished and he saw a person with blond hair with red streaks, blue eyes, whose face was covered in black mask, also he was about 6'0 feet tall, and very muscular yet not bulky standing in the middle of his office. He couldn't help, but feel like he'd seen him before until it clicked. “Na-Naruto, is that you?” asked the bewildered Hokage.

Naruto chuckled and said, “I'm surprised you recognized me sensei. Though I'm glad you did or else I would have had to beat you senseless until you did remember me.” chuckling the whole time.

Which made the Hokage smile, before responding. “You sure have grown Naruto, haven't you?”

“Of course I have, I am pretty sure I could beat you in an all out battle now.” said Naruto in a tone that held absolute confidence in himself and not a bit of cockiness.

“N-no I mean, you got taller than me now and I am pretty sure you could beat me if you wanted to.” Said Sarutobi with pride in his voice, happy that he could train such a student though slightly shaken by the confidence Naruto conveyed in his tone as he mentioned that he felt he could beat him. “So Naruto why are you wearing a mask?” asked the curious kage.

Naruto blushed slightly out of embarrassment before saying, “Well you see a year after I left I um…started getting fan-girls wherever I went. So to keep under the radar and keep the fan-girls at bay I chose to start wearing a mask.”

“Well can I at least see your face?” Asked the Hokage who was anxious to determine how many fan-girls Naruto would get if he didn't use his mask in Konoha.

“Um, sure, but you can't let it slip out or I Will beat the crap out of you go it?” asked Naruto in a frightening tone, before getting a nod from Hokage.

Then as he started to pull of his mask in slow motion, which gave a tick on his sensei's forehead, before he had enough and yelled, “HURRY UP ALREADY!”

Naruto ducked at the volume before respond in pained voice while trying to clean out his ears with his pinky, “Alright, geez you don`t have to be so loud about it.”

He then took of his mask completely and Hokage blinked for a few seconds before his eyes went wide and his jaw dropped to the ground from shock. If he didn't know that this was Naruto he would've thought this was the former Hokage of Konoha, the Yondaime Hokage. It still didn't stop him from whispering, “M-Minato.” before thinking `Damn, he looks so much like Minato that it's not even funny. No wonder he has fan-girls Minato was practically beating them off with a stick, before Kushina actually started to beat them with sticks, kunai, shuriken, swords, jutsu and whatever else was handy hehehe. I'm actually surprised he has been able to avoid them, though I don`t know why hehehehe.'

Naruto gave him a questioning look, “Did you say something sensei?” feigning ignorance as he heard what was said.

“Oh sorry, no I was just thinking about someone who you reminded me of.” quickly said the aging Kage while taking in all that is his student.

“Okaaaaaaayy” said Naruto putting back his mask on his face before anyone else barged in and saw him.

“Naruto, why don't you have the whisker like marks on your face?” questioned a confused Hokage as he knew he was old, but he could have sworn Naruto always had whisker marks.

“Oh that, well you see when I found out about me having the Kyuubi and that it was the reason I had those whiskers marks I decided to make a seal that would separate my chakra from it's and keep them from mixing so it wouldn't be able to alter my body like that. After a year and half of researching the Yondaime's seal I was finally able to come up with a way to make his seal more powerful without hindering my growth. Also the Kyuubi will never be able to communicate with me or ever wake up from his slumber, though if the need was to ever arise I could forcibly withdraw its chakra.” Explained the blond before getting a nod of understanding from his sensei.

“Can I see this new seal you added to Yondaime's, Naruto?” asked the Hokage and getting a nod in return. Naruto then lifted up his shirt and focused some chakra around his abdomen where the seal was. As the Hokage came closer to Naruto and looked carefully at the seal admiring its complexity. There were three circles inside each other, which were surrounding the original seal to keep Kyuubi in Naruto, connected with the first circle were ten lines connected with each other to create a star.

“This seal is much stronger that the one Yondaime created, but both combined could contain at least five Kyuubi's without a problem.” Said Naruto making Hokage's eyes wide open before continuing. “Though without the masterful seal the Yondaime put on to begin with, this seal would never have worked.”

“Pretty confident in it aren't you Naruto?” said the Hokage with a smirk knowing while confident Naruto was rarely ever cocky.

“Of course, I am the one who created it after all.” Boasted Naruto jokingly, with a smile.

“So, what do you call it?” questioned the old man while smoking his pipe.

“Orichalcos no Fuuin” said Naruto nonchalantly as he relaxed in a chair.

“So what else can you do that I don't know about, because I don't want to have a heart attack if I see you fight and pull something amazing. I`m old you know and knowing you, that stuff can happen.” Said the Hokage eying Naruto's hair while laying a small guilt trip on the young man.

“Well I learned some new jutsu from a couple missing nin`s, some from my summons, created my own style of kenjutsu, and also a speed technique. No I won't tell you what it is.” Making the Hokage pout at his response, which made Naruto laugh whole-heartedly at the God of Shinobi pouting like an academy student.

Then the door to the Hokage's office opened and in came the grandson of the Hokage charging and saying “Old-man, today victory shall be mine,” making Naruto and Hokage sweat drop.

“This is the tenth times today” said the old man while watching Konohamaru trip on his own scarp and fall.

Konohamaru then looked at Naruto and pointed his finger at him then said, “YOU, how dare you trip me!” getting another sweat-drop Naruto and Hokage.

“Ohayo, Konohamaru.” said Naruto ignoring his comment, while he waited for the young boy to recognize who he was.

Konohamaru's eyes widened in recognition yelled,” NARUTO-NII-SAN YOUR BACK.” before he jumped and hugged Naruto.

Naruto chuckled at this and hugged him back and after releasing Konohamaru from the hug Naruto ruffled his hair and said, “So what are you doing these days besides trying to defeat you grandfather?”

“Well I joined the academy, but the teachers are really boring and they don't teach any jutsu except the crappy basics.” spitefully said Konohamaru, which earned a laugh from Naruto and a chuckle from his grandfather. “So nii-san, can you teach me one of your cool jutsu?” asked the energetic youth full of hope.

“Hmm once you're a gennin I'll teach you a couple. Deal?“ said Naruto earning him a sad yet hopeful nod. “Well guys, I have to go since I am kind of hungry from the traveling so I'll see you two later. Oh and when is the gennin team selection?” asked Naruto.

“Tomorrow at Ten, but why do you want to know?” responded the Kage before asking his own question.

“I want to see the batch that graduated and maybe check out the Jounin,” answered the blond with barely contained glee at the prospect of seeing that red eyed beauty again. “Well, ja nee” then Naruto used the flame shunshin and disappeared.

Konohamaru was looking at the spot from where Naruto disappeared in awe before he yelled, “SUGOI!!” Which was heard throughout the leaf village.

Naruto was now walking through the streets of Konoha getting odd glances from time to time from nearby people. He could tell that these glances were not that of hate, but it was that of familiarity. He didn't know that people looked at him like that because he was wearing the cloak that looked awfully like the Yondaime Hokage's. He headed straight towards his destination, which was the Ichiraku Ramen. When he got there he saw old man Teuchi cleaning the table. He went up to him and sat there then said, "Old man, can I have two miso and one pork ramen."

"Coming right up, AYAME TWO MISO AND ONE PORK." Yelled the old Ramen chef as he took in the sight of the new customer.

Naruto sighed. `It seems he didn't recognize me, but then again with the mask on he shouldn't.'

"So are you new in Konoha." asked the old man while trying to see if he'll be a repeat customer.

"Hmmm, not really. I've lived here all my life, but went on a training trip about three and a half years ago. Dare I say I'm your favorite customer." Naruto said smiling on the inside.

Teuchi then looked at him carefully and noted the things that he might be able to recognize the person who claims to be his favorite customer. He noted the blue eyes and the blond hair with red tips. Now if you take away the tips he would look like Naruto then his eyes went wide when realization hit him and he stuttered, “Na-Naruto?"

Naruto smiled when Teuchi was finally able to recognize him, “In the flesh old man." Said Naruto with an eye smile eerily familiar to a certain copy nin.

Ayame then came in with the ramen and put the food in front of him and was about to leave when her father said, “Guess what Ayame, our favorite customer came back after a long time away..."

Ayame looked at him with a questioning look and said, “Where is he Otou-san?"

Teuchi pointed at Naruto who had just finished eating his ramen and looked at them before cheekily saying "Yo, how you doing Ayame-chan?"

Ayame blushed at the nickname even though Naruto used to call her that before. "I-is that you, Naruto-kun?" getting a nod from him. Ayame ran over to him and gave him a hug. After few seconds she let him go to look at him and asked, "So Naruto-kun what have you been doing for the past years?"

"Besides training and traveling, nothing much. How about you guys, how is the business going?" asked a seriously concerned as he was the bulk of their business before he left.

"Well, better than before thanks to you?" said Ayame cheerfully while finishing up the ramen.

"What do you mean?" questioned a curious Naruto as he drooled slightly at the smell of the ramen.

"Shinobi would come more often than they used to and they would mostly talked about Naruto-sama. It seems you've become quite famous around some shinobi.” said the old man with a broad smile.

Naruto smiled that he was actually being recognized by at least some people. Now he decided that it was time to go so he pushed his stool back and got up to leave but not before saying "It was nice seeing you guys again, but I have to go so bye." As he dropped enough money to cover the meal a hundred times over, with that he jumped on top of one of the houses.

"Come back soon Naruto" yelled Teuchi as he collected all the money and a note that said the money was to cover all the money they missed out on while he was gone.

Naruto waved his hand motioning that he will without looking back then disappeared out of their sight. He was currently thinking about the red-eyed kunoichi, who happened to catch his attention that particular day so long ago. He didn't know why but something about her makes his heart soar. She was also the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, even in his journey he didn't see a women like her and believe it or not he saw a lot, hell most were chasing him trying to bed him He couldn't wait to see her again and perhaps ask her out on a date or something though he was pretty sure that she wouldn't be accepting his offer if she knew how old he was though. Her name was a mystery to him though he knew her alias as Konoha's Ice Queen. He would have to ask someone if they knew if she was seeing anyone at the moment before even considered asking her out on a date.

He was so lost in thoughts that he didn't even realize that he was in the middle of a training ground until a kunai was coming his way and if he didn't tilt his head he would've been a dead man…or most people would have been a dead man. He looked around to see who threw the kunai, he saw four people making their way toward him. There was a girl and three guys. She was wearing a pink sleeveless shirt and green ninja pants. She also had brown hair and with her was a boy who could be mistaken for a girl because his hair was long. Judging by his eyes Naruto could tell that he is a Hyuuga. Behind them were two guys who freaked him out. They looked like clones of each other except on was taller than the other one. The only other difference was that taller one had a Jounin vest while mini him had white wrappers around both his forearms. They both had same bowl cut and eye brows that looked like black leeches.

"Gomen." the girl interjected "My idiotic teammate suddenly decided to see if he could hit a target with a kunai and it seems hetotally missed." while giving a glare at the mini clone.

"Ah ha ha, you shouldn't be sorry. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't even know where I was, and I still don't.” said Naruto, feeling kind of embarrassed.

Deciding to introduce herself to the tall blonde she said, "I'm TenTen." she moved her hand forward to shake his and he gladly accepted. Then she pointed to Hyuuga and said, "That's Hyuuga Neji" who gave Naruto a "hnn" and "the taller one is our sensei Maito Gai, and the other is Rock Lee. We're gennin team number nine." Both of them gave him their trademark smile with sparkling teeth, which served to freak Naruto out even more.

"YOSH, YOU MUST BE A GREAT NINJA TO BE ABLE TO DODGE MY SUPIRIOR THROWING SKILL. I MUST KNOW THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO IS AS YOUTHFUL AS ME AND GAI-SENSEI!" yelled the mini clone while giving a thumb up.

Naruto winced at loudness of his voice and sweat dropped when he heard mini clone talk about his superior skill and so did his teammates. When he looked at both clones he saw them hugging each other and yelling.

"GAI-SENSEI!"

"LEE!"

"GAI-SENSEI!"

“LEE!” and a sun rose and now there were two suns in the sky accompanied by crashing wave.

While this was continuing Naruto looked at TenTen and said, "Um, are they always like that?" his tone showed a hint of fear.

TenTen sighed and answered, "You have no idea. This is nothing compared to their other 'antics.' You know, you still haven't told us your name."

"Right sorry, my name Uzumaki Naruto. A pleasure to you." said Naruto while giving her a short bow. Tenten blushed a little at that since no one even bowed to her before.

When Gai heard naruto say his name, he stopped hugging lee. He got up then ran to Naruto and stuttered with excitement, "D-Di-Did you say you are Uzumaki Naruto!?" while his students were thinking what's so special about this guy that got their sensei this excited over.

"Um, yes?" answered a scared Naruto seeing this guy's face.

Then Gai's eyes went wide and he hurriedly took out a book which had a title called, "Autograph of Super Strong Allies and Rivals" and he opened it then gave it to Naruto with a pen and said, "NARUTO-SAMA WOULD YOU GIVE ME THE PLEASURE OF HAVING YOUR NAME IN MY PRECIOUS BOOK!!"

Naruto unsure of what to do at the moment said, "S-sure." then opened the booked and only saw on name in whole book, that of one Hatake Kakashi. He then signed the book and after giving it back to Gai, before he disappeared so fast he left an afterimage for three seconds before it dissipated.

"SUGOI, HE WAS SO FAST I DIDN'T EVEN SEE HIM GO!!" yelled Gai and his Clone while the other two had their jaw on the ground at the display of Naruto's speed.

TenTen wanted to know just who that guy was so she decided to just ask her sensei, "Gai-sensei, why are you so excited to see that guy? Also why are you calling him Naruto-sama? He doesn`t look any older than us."

"My youthful students, we just had the pleasure to meet one of the strongest shinobi in the world. He is famed Fenikkusu Sannin of Konoha who gained the title at the age of twelve and now he should be around fifteen years of age." explained Gai in an excited voice while looking at the sky. When he looked at his students he saw their eyes as big as a saucer and had their jaw on the floor. He couldn't help but laugh at their expression since this was the same look he had when he heard Naruto became a Sannin.

"T-tha-that's im-impossible." stuttered Neji thinking fate was playing a cruel joke.

"He's too young to be that strong." TenTen said, Neji also agreed to that though he couldn't voice it due to shock.

"Believe it or not he is and he gained it through hard work." said Gai as he looked at Lee who had stars around his eyes before shouting out, "YOSH MY YOUTHFULL LEE, WE WILL UP YOUR WEIGHTS AND TRAINING SO YOU CAN ONE DAY BECOME STRONG LIKE NARUTO-SAMA. BEFORE THAT WE WILL RUN FIVE HUNDRED LAPS AROUND KONOHA FOR NOT RECOGNIZING OUR PRESTIGIOUS SANNIN AND IF WE CAN'T DO THAT, WE WILL DO FIVE THOUSAND PUSH-UP AND IF WE...”

"ALL RIGHT WE GET IT, GEEZ!" yelled TenTen who had enough of the two idiots. She then started walking with Neji while both were thinking how it was possible for someone so young to be so powerful. Tenten also thought he was cute with his flaming hair even though she couldn't see his face because of that cursed mask`I will see his whole face! I swear it!' thought a slightly obsessed TenTen even though she had no idea why she cared, but just shrugged it off.

(With Naruto)

Naruto was currently in his room in the Sarutobi estate laying face down on the bed. He was hoping to never meet those nut jobs again after today, sure they seemed like great people it`s just that they were a bit to...eccentric for him to take. He was also wondering what tomorrow would have in store for him, and with that he drifted off to sleep.
