| (Naruto = alive) A year passed without any news of the blond, a period marked by normalcy. The sun still rose in the east and set in the west, Jiraiya still peeked on women and Kakashi still read porn. However, it was painfully obvious that there was something different about Konoha ever since the resurrection of the blonde. Tsunade no longer complained about the mounds of paperwork and instead worked tirelessly to improve Konoha’s condition, which was set to lead Konoha to even greater prosperity. Shinobi were also working and training their hardest, inspired by the story of Uzumaki Naruto. A few months after his departure, when stories of the genin’s adventures started to circulate, the Uzumaki Naruto fan club was created, along with the first ever Naruto Superstore, which sold Naruto merchandise. Coincidentally, the superstore was erected right next to Ichiraku’s ramen stand, whose business had flourished due to the popularity of their new Naruto special. Team 7 had gained a new member, Sai, and was currently on the training grounds standing around. Sasuke still had a scowl on his face as he tried to burn a hole through a training post with his stare. Sakura had toned down from her uninhibited fangirl days, but still snuck occasional glances at Sasuke. Sai was smiling at Kakashi, who had his beloved orange book open. Instead of focusing on his favorite smut, Kakashi’s mind continued to wander over the third member of the original Team 7. Images of Obito and the Yondaime constantly bombarded his mind over his betrayal. ‘Those who ignore rules are trash, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash, huh?’ The stern visage of the Yondaime on the Hokage’s monument glared at Kakashi, as if focusing its disgust on the masked copy-nin. With a sigh, Kakashi snapped his book shut and coughed to get his team’s attention. Hopefully, Tsunade would give them a mission when they went to report in. When Team 7 entered the Hokage’s office, Tsunade didn’t even look up at the trio and threw a scroll at Kakashi, who deftly caught it without a word. Kakashi internally sighed, ‘She’s been that way ever since we did that to Naruto. Obito, Minato-sensei, I’ve failed you two.’ Kakashi led his team out of the Hokage’s office before opening the scroll to reveal an escort mission to Suna. ‘Another C-rank, huh? At least we can get out of Konoha on this mission.’ He then turned to his team with an eye smile. “Well, it looks like we have a c-rank escort mission to Suna. Meet me at the village gates in an hour.” Three hours later, team 7 walked through the village gates on their way to Suna. The group was so wrapped up in their own thoughts that they did not notice as a hooded figure walked past them into Konoha, with a ghost of a smile on his face. |

| The mysterious visitor strolled through the gates of Konoha after passing by Team 7, where immediately, he was confronted by the two chuunin standing guard. Izumo, who was standing guard at the gate, had watched as Team 7 left the gates. ‘So, Tsunade-sama finally gave them a mission outside Konoha? Maybe she couldn’t stand them after what they did to the kid.’ Izumo felt a twinge of guilt course through his body at the memory of the blonde jinchuuriki. It had been that way the over the past year. It seemed as if his very name was enough to cast a gloomy atmosphere. Would the son of the Yondaime come back and destroy Konoha? The villager shuddered at the thought that they might have turned the legacy of their greatest hero into their most feared enemies. Next to Izumo, Kotetsu was also experiencing similar feelings of guilt. He remembered the Iwa war during which the Yondaime had saved him from certain death using this famous Hirashin to catch the enemy shinobi by surprise with a Rasengan. After Naruto’s lineage was revealed, images of his savior kept appearing in his mind, only for the picture to subtly change into that of a sightless Naruto. The duo finally noticed the stranger that had ambled through the gates and moved to confront the hooded figure. “Halt! What is your purpose in Konoha?” Izumo fingered the kunai in his pouch, but the visitor raised his hands in a sign of nonaggression. The chuunin remained wary as Kotetsu repeated his question. “What is your business in Konoha?” In a hoarse, scratchy voice, the stranger replied, “My business is with the Hokage and the Hokage only. I ask you to not interfere. If you must, one of you can accompany me on my way.” Kotetsu nodded at Izumo, who resumed guard duty. The man seemed harmless after all. Just another day on the job for the pair. Kotetsu’s suspicions diminished as he accompanied the man through the streets. The thought that the man could pose a danger to the citizens of Konoha seemed laughable. Earlier, an errant ball thrown by one of the village struck the man square in the back, which caused him to stumble a bit. When the child ran forwards apologizing profusely, he simply laughed it off and returned the ball before continuing on his way with Kotetsu trailing behind. The rest of the journey passed without any further incidents, so when they arrived at the Hokage Tower, Kotetsu bid the stranger farewell and returned to his post. At the receptionist’s desk, the man was stopped once more. Apparently, the Hokage was at work and didn’t wish to be bothered at the moment. The receptionist quickly explained that the Hokage often buried herself in her work, possibly to mask her worry over Naruto’s wellbeing. The man simply bowed and turned back towards the exit, leaving without another word. ‘Looks like we have to this the hard way…’ The man looked up at a window high up in the Tower and grinned underneath his hood. |

| Tsunade was poring over the treaty and proposals that had come in recently. Once word of Naruto’s execution had gotten out, many of Konoha’s allies had sent representatives demanding an explanation for the execution. Gaara’s arrival mere days after Naruto’s execution had been a nightmare. Flanked by his two siblings, the newly appointed Kazekage had threatened to break off all diplomatic relations and declare war, and emphasized his point by sending a blast of killer intent at the council members. It had taken the entire council apologizing to the enraged former psychopath in order to even have the opportunity to explain Naruto’s improbable resurrection. After being promised that Konoha would send word of Naruto’s return as soon as possible, Gaara swept away, leaving a relieved Tsunade while a couple of the civilian council members crept away to change their soiled pants. Other dignitaries followed Gaara, each expressing disappointment and disgust at Konoha’s behavior. Many threatened to withdraw from their treaty agreements, forcing Tsunade and the council to offer to rework their treaties and arrangements. Tsunade sighed after putting aside yet another piece of paper. She sat back in her chair to close her eyes and think. No matter what, it seemed as if Naruto was constantly the source of trouble in Konoha, even after his belated acceptance by the majority of the villagers. No, she corrected herself; it was Konoha’s foolishness that had caused this in the first place. All they could do was work to change Konoha back into the village that the Yondaime had fought to protect. Maybe Naruto could be convinced to stay in Konoha, where he could find a nice girl to marry and possibly give her grandbabies to spoil. She leaned back and happily daydreamed of tiny blond, blue-eyed bundles of energy running around, oblivious to her surroundings. The gentle breeze felt nice as it ushered out the stale air. Maybe later she’d go to the hot springs with Shizune for a nice soak. Wait a moment. Nice breeze? Tsunade always kept the window closed so that her paperwork wouldn’t blow away. That meant… Tsunade’s eyes flew open and instantly locked onto the hooded figure standing in front of her. She instinctively threw out a punch, but the visitor nimbly skipped backwards to avoid the blow. She held out her fist and glared at the intruder. Before she could question the mysterious stranger, the man spoke up first. “Man, you've really got to work on controlling that temper. First time I see you in ages and you try to hit me? Sheesh, Tsunade-baachan” Tsunade froze as all of her anger vanished. Her outstretched arm fell limply to her side as she slowly stood up and walked over to the hooded man. After what seemed to be an eternity to the two, Tsunade reached the man and raised her hands to grab the hood with both hands. Tsunade pulled back the hood inch by agonizing inch, hardly daring to raise her hopes. Finally, Tsunade removed the offending garment and gazed into the man’s piercing blue eyes. She finally released the breath that she had been holding, murmuring the name that had haunted her dreams over the past year. “Naruto…” After a tearful, bone-crushing hug, Naruto told an incredulous Tsunade about his meeting with Kami and Yami. Tsunade sweat dropped when she heard that Naruto had flirted with two of the most powerful beings in the universe before calling for Shizune. When Shizune entered, she immediately tackled Naruto in a fierce hug, leaving Naruto gasping for breath. Tsunade had Naruto repeat his story, and when he was finished, Shizune wiped away a tear while Tsunade coughed with her hand outstretched, palm face-up. Grumbling, Shizune dumped a wad of cash into Tsunade’s hand grumbling that Kami should have been a man. With a final hug, Shizune left the office with a smile on her face. Tsunade turned back to Naruto, “So your eyes are…” Naruto grinned, “Yeah, a gift from Kami-baasama. Too bad they don’t fire lasers or anything.” A gust of tightly compressed air slapped Naruto upside the head. |

| Tsunade simply nodded. There wasn’t much to say, especially since it had been divine intervention that had brought Naruto back to life in the first place. She cleared her throat. “Anyways, we need to test you to see your strengths so we can place you on missions. The Chuunin exams are four months away, and I doubt you’d want to wait until then. That’s why we’ve arranged a test for you. It’s going to be a one-on-one combat to determine your abilities. Do you accept?” Naruto replaced his hood and nodded, “Who am I to face?” Tsunade snapped her fingers and with a puff of smoke, a figure appeared in the shadows. “Your opponent will be me, Namikaze-san.” Naruto watched as the figure stepped out of the darkness. Beneath his hood, Naruto’s eyes widened in recognition. “You…” END CHAPTER 2 |

| Hyuuga Hiashi nodded. “Namikaze-san, I would like to apologize for my role during the events leading to your execution. I also speak on behalf of the Hyuuga Clan when I ask you to forgive us for our transgressions against your person.” Naruto responded by merely tilting his head. Hiashi then answered the unspoken question, “I was a teammate of your father and counted myself as one of his closest friends. He stressed teamwork and compassion over everything else. I cannot count the number of times he has saved my family and me. When I found out that I had played such a direct role in the murder of my best friends’ son, the grief was unbearable.” Tsunade glanced towards Naruto and whispered, “Hiashi-sama tried to take his own life.” The only sign that Naruto had heard was the slight movement as he focused more attention on Hiashi. Having guessed Tsunade’s message, Hiashi continued, “It was at that moment that Neji, of all people, stopped me. He told me that by taking my life, I would be running away from all Minato again. He told me of how his battle with you during his first chuunin exam had changed him, a metamorphosis that continues to this day as he and I work with Hinata on healing the rift between the Main House and the Branch Houses. For that, I thank you.” To Tsunade’s surprise, the Hyuuga Clan bowed to Naruto, an action that Naruto reciprocated. There was a brief silence before Naruto spoke, “Who arranged this fight?” Hiashi stepped forward, “Namikaze-san, I requested to administer your test when I heard Tsunade-sama mention it in passing. I have seen how you have changed my nephew’s life. I wish to see that strength myself and better hopefully understand the meaning behind that strength. Only then may I consider myself worthy of being a friend of Minato.” As Naruto considered Hiashi’s words, Tsunade stole nervous glances at the blond by her side. What had happened during his year away from Konoha? How had he changed? Naruto’s calm voice broke the lull in the conversation. |

saitoXhenrietta said: “Very well, Hiashi-sama.” Naruto turned to Tsunade, “Where and when will the test be held?”Hyuuga Hiashi nodded. “Namikaze-san, I would like to apologize for my role during the events leading to your execution.

What had happened during his year away from Konoha? How had he changed? Naruto’s calm voice broke the lull in the conversation. “The test will be held tomorrow at 10 am in the chuunin exam stadium. I trust you do not mind if a few shinobi decide to watch.” Naruto shook his head. “If that is all, then I will take my leave. Tsunade-sama, Namikaze-san.” Before Hiashi could shushin out of the office, Naruto spoke up, “Naruto is fine, Hyuuga-sama.” For the first time during his visit, a small smile passed over Hiashi’s lips. “Very well Naruto. In return, I ask that you address me as Hiashi. Know that no matter what the rest of Konoha may say, you will always be welcome among the Hyuuga.” With that, Hiashi shushined out of the office, leaving a flabbergasted Tsunade and a bemused Naruto. Naruto turned back to Tsunade and gave her a quick hug before leaving, calling over his shoulder, “I’ll see you at the stadium soon, baachan.” Tsunade watched the blond walk off before heading back to her desk. Maybe there was still some hope left. |

| ‘Unfortunately, he’s even more distrustful of strangers, especially those responsible for his persecution. But still, it’s nice to see that Naruto is still giving people a chance.’ She sighed as she sat down at her desk. The paperwork wasn’t going to do itself anytime soon. But first… Tsunade pulled out a blank scroll and began writing a letter to Gaara, informing him that Naruto had safely returned to Konoha. The possibility of one former Jinchuuriki attacking Konoha with righteous vengeance was bad enough. Tsunade shuddered at the thought of two pissed off former demon containers rampaging throughout Konoha. As Naruto walked down the street, still wearing his cloak and hood, he couldn’t help but feel a tiny bit of hope. ‘So the Hyuuga are on my side, huh? Perhaps Konoha can truly change.’ The rumbling of his stomach cut an end to his musings. A trip to Ichiraku’s was in store. “AHH! That was fantastic. Another bowl, old man. Miso this time.” “Haha, you know, you remind me of our favorite customer. He’s been… out of town lately, but when he comes back, I’m going to treat him to our newest ramen- the Naruto special.” “Whoa, you named a ramen after me? Sniff… sniff… that’s so beautiful.” “IS THAT YOU, NARUTO??” Amidst the clattering of pots and pans, Teuchi leapt over the counter followed closely by Ayame. The Ichiraku duo enveloped their favorite customer in a group hug. Naruto felt a rogue hand slip southward and jumped back quickly. “Ayame-neechan!” The buxom ramen waitress winked at the blushing blond before heading back to her station to place another bowl of ramen in front of Naruto. With a sigh, Naruto turned to the steaming bowl of ramen placed in front of him. Out of the corner of his eye, an orange sign caught his eye. ‘The Naruto Superstore- the best place for all things Naruto’ “EHH? What the hell is that?” |

| Teuchi laughed, “So it looks like you finally noticed. It seems that you’ve got yourself quite a following amongst the younger shinobi.” “Yea, but it looks like a piece of crap.” Indeed, the grand Naruto Superstore was nothing more than a rundown shack next to Ichiraku’s ramen store. Ayame giggled and ruffled Naruto’s hair, “Why don’t you go check it out after you’re done. But first, why don’t you tell us about what you’ve been up to. I don’t want to be insensitive or anything, but we’re pretty curious as to how you… well… came back to life.” Teuchi turned down the stove to listen better, trying to hide his own burning curiosity. As Naruto began to explain the events following his execution, Teuchi had trouble believing that the boy, no, man in front of him had come back at the behest of Kami herself. But there he was, sitting there and telling his story with flailing arms and exaggerated facial expressions. Just maybe Kami was real. Teuchi paled as he realized that he hadn’t prayed in quite some time. As Naruto continued to retell his tale to a captivated Ayame, a certain chuunin instructor happened to pass by and notice the blond. “Naruto? Is that you? |

| Naruto turned and saw Iruka standing in the middle of the street staring at him. “Iruka-sensei!” Seeing his former academy teacher for the first time in a year, Naruto ran towards Iruka and tackled the academy instructor in a bone-crushing hug. Iruka pried Naruto off and stared at him. “Naruto, you look more grown up than when I last saw you. And you have your eyes again, after what they did to you.” “Yeah, Kami gave them to me, so now they’re back.” “Ahh, Tsunade-sama mentioned that to me just now. Took me a while to believe it, bet you certainly are Konoha’s number one surprising ninja. In fact, there’s something she wanted me to give you. Close your eyes for one moment, will you Naruto?” Naruto complied, and soon felt a familiar weight being tied around his forehead. He opened his eyes to see a smiling Iruka. Raising one hand, he slowly traced his hand over the worn metal of his old hitai-ate, remembering all the memories contained within the symbol of Konoha. ‘That’s right. Now that I am once again wearing the symbol of the leaf, I must once again protect those that I hold dear to me. If the village is willing to accept me this time, then it’ll be even better.’ “Just like last time, right Iruka-sensei?” “Yeah Naruto, but you have to agree that the circumstances were different last time. So what do you plan to do now?” “Well I finished eating, so I figured I’d take a look inside that store over there.” Iruka smirked, “Getting cocky, are you Naruto? Just because you have your own store doesn’t mean that you should go stomping around inside for kicks.” Naruto pouted, “Jeez, Iruka-sensei, I just wanted to know why a store named after me looks like a piece of shit.” “Ahh, so you haven’t been inside yet, have you? Tell you what. I’ll go in with you and we’ll have a look together. But first, put on your hood. You don’t want to attract too much attention, trust me.” Naruto nodded and raised his hood. After paying for his meal and leaving a generous tip for Ayame, Naruto followed Iruka to the store. |

| Fuko!!!!!! *goes into trance*, also amy why are you not online right now on msn? *continues trance* |
|
| Whatever Naruto was expecting to see inside the store, it certainly was not an empty room, save fore the lone staircase at the back of the room. He turned to Iruka. “What’s the staircase for?” “So you’ve seen through the genjutsu already? Impressive, seeing how genjutsu was your worst subject at school. The genjutsu, as well as the store itself, was Tsunade-sama’s idea. Before, when your, err, fan club built the store, it was open to everybody. Unfortunately, there are still some people, civilian and shinobi alike, who still cannot see you for who you really are.” Naruto nodded, as this was expected. After all, for every person that able to own up to a mistake and is willing to change, there will be another who stubbornly sticks to his or her own beliefs. “As such, the original store was constantly vandalized. One night, a bunch of shinobi and civilian gathered and tried to burn the store down. Tsunade-sama herself broke up the crowd herself. While she couldn’t punish the civilians for their actions, she made sure that Ibiki personally saw to the shinobi involved. Lots of gruesome rumors have floated out of the Torture and Interrogation Department regarding their fate. “That’s why she decided to put up this genjutsu around the store. The shinobi who still fear you don’t dare to interfere, thanks to Tsunade-sama’s stern warnings, and the civilians can’t see through the genjutsu either so it works out. Well, that was mostly during the early days when people were still starting to change their minds regarding you and the Kyuubi. “Naruto, there are a lot of people who are ashamed of how you were treated and now see you differently than they did before your execution. However, there are still people who fear and hate you out of ignorance and stubbornness. Even though they aren’t out in the open anymore, you still need to remember that not everybody has accepted you.” Naruto bowed his head slightly at this. Iruka noticed and placed a comforting hand on Naruto’s shoulder. “Don’t worry about it, Naruto. Just give it some time and they’ll eventually come around. You have a special knack for that. For now, why don’t we head downstairs and check out what’s inside. It’s been a while since I’ve looked around.” Naruto nodded and the pair headed down the flight of stairs. When the two reached the bottom of the stairwell, Naruto stared at the sight before him, mouth wide open. Everything was so… orange. |

| Iruka half-expected the blond to run from stand to stand in a hyperactive frenzy, trying on the merchandise and chatting happily with the other customers milling about. Instead, Naruto slowly walked among the merchants, occasionally fingering an outfit or picking up and examining an action figure. Iruka sadly watched Naruto knowing that despite his sunny disposition, there was a deeper emotion that surfaced on occasion, the desire to fit in and find unconditional love. ‘Naruto, there are so many times that I wish that I could have been there for you when you were younger. Back at the academy, I treated you much like the others did. If it wasn’t for the Sandaime, I wouldn’t have been able to see this side of you today; I would be like the rest. You are a much better man than I will ever be, Naruto.’ Iruka was roused from his musings when he heard Naruto’s voice. “Hey, Iruka-sensei, I was wondering. Why exactly are the people here doing what they’re doing? What do they see in me?” “Naruto, it may seem a bit… excessive but believe me, all these people here that are buying and selling your stuff truly have been able to look within themselves and realize that they have made a mistake. Like I said earlier, you’ll find that many people, especially the younger generation, look up to you. You’re a hero to them.” Naruto shifted uneasily, and Iruka instantly picked up on the cause. “Naruto, this is nothing like the rabid obsession that the girls had for Sasuke back in the academy. The girls then were caught up in their fantasies over a silly crush. These are people who look up to you for who you are and what you have done for Konoha your whole life. You deserve this recognition. It’s something you’ve worked for.” “Yeah, but aren’t they just doing this because of who my father was?” “Naruto…” |

| “I know, but still, aren’t they doing this not because of me, but out of obligation to my father?” Iruka walked up to Naruto and grabbed his cloak. Pulling his face in close, Iruka stared into Naruto’s hooded eyes. “Naruto, I beg of you, please have some more faith in Konoha. You’ve been ignored for much of your life, and now that people are giving you attention, you’re turning them away? You’re just running away from your past.” Naruto’s eyes flared dangerously. He threw Iruka’s hands off his cloak and stared into Iruka’s now fearful eyes. “Iruka, do not remind me of the hell that I went through as a child.
