-Naruto POV-
It was the morning after the treaty signing and I was incredibly hung over. I woke up in an Uchiha bar surrounded by Uchiha Civilians. I got up slowly and went outside to find that it was still dark. I stretched and most of my joints popped. I used a water Justu to clean myself and my clothes, then a wind jutsu to dry off.After a quick session of real stretching, I began my physical routine. A few hours later, on my run, I ran into Lee and Guy, running on their hands. "Yes Lee! Show me your power of youth!" Guy called.
I laughed at their antics. "Good morning you two! I see you like to start early too." I said.
Guy nodded. "The youthful always start before first light!" He said.
Lee furrowed his brows in an intense manner. "Naruto! Join us in our youthful endeavors!" He said.
I laughed some more. "I think I'll pass. I'm on my fourth hour and I have a test in a bit." I said.
Guy spoke. "Naruto! Your youth burns so brightly! Lee, we must match his youth!" He said.
Lee nodded. "Yes Guy-Sensei!" He said and they picked up the pace.
I shook my head in amusement. "Those guys. Wait, how did they recognize me?" I muttered.
Soon I was joined by Kiba and his hounds who were much bigger. "I know that smell anywhere. Naruto?" He asked.
I looked over at him. "The one and only. How are things Kiba?" I asked.
He grinned. "Good! The Hokage made me a tokubetsu Jonin because of my tracking skill. What about you?" He asked.
"I'm still a Chunin, but that'll change soon enough." I said.
He chuckled. "I don't doubt it. How were your travels?" He asked.
"They were good, I learned a lot." I said.
He raised his eyebrow. "A lot of jutsu?" He asked.
I nodded. "I learned a lot of jutsu, but I also learned a lot about myself, how to relax... Hey, I'm sorry I was so hard on you back then, I know it wasn't all your fault." I said.
He chuckled. "Naruto Uzumaki apologizing to me? That's never gonna happen again." He said.
I laughed. "No it won't." I said before speeding up.
A little under an hour later, I was at training ground three, stretching. The Hokage was waiting in a tree, but she didn't realize I knew she was there. I unsealed a hot cup of coffee. I felt her chakra twitch a bit.
I flash stepped out of sight, then jumped up next to here with a second cup in my hand. "Coffee miss Senju?" I asked as I sat next to her on the branch, holding a cup out to her.
She took the cup with a raised brow. "You knew I was here?" She asked.
I nodded. "One of my many hidden skills." I said.
