Mugiwara Uzumaki (updates are slow)

Chapter 1: Straw Hat's Comeback!

Izumo and Kotetsu were sitting at the gates as the day rolled on by. "These past three years have been something, eh Izumo?" asked Kotetsu as he was wishing he was somewhere else or just something to happen. "I wouldn't say that, Kotetsu," said Izumo as he peeked through the gates before returning to his newspaper, "Tsunade was named Godaime Hokage a few months after Naruto had left as Minato said something about atoning for his sins. Then there was the appearance of that cult dedicated to some sort of tree and its war against the Akatsuki just a year after that..."

"Isn't that war between them still going?" asked Izumo as he remembered hearing about the two groups clashing, "What was that cult called again? Order of the Nazama?" Izumo turned the page and said, "Order of the Namaki; just some crazy cult that worships some kind of God-tree." Kotetsu blinked and chuckled a bit as he remembered something.

"What about that bandit attack just a year and a half ago?" said the chunin with a perverted smile, "When she appeared, hehehe." Izumo rolled his eyes while giggling to himself inside his mind at who his best friend was talking about. "Of course I remember that day," said Izumo as he set the newspaper to the side, "Who wouldn't forget the day that Hentai Hime returned as she just appeared in nothing but her underwear and a small mask and turned all of those bandits to stone. I just don't know who to feel sorry for; the bandits or that girl's parents." Kotetsu had to agree with that as the bandits were turned to stone as the half-naked girl attacked them or the girl's parents because that is their daughter running around in just her underwear and a small mask that covered the eyes. "I don't know about you," said Kotetsu as he leaned back to stare at the ceiling of their station, "Hentai Hime is one of the most wanted women in Hi no Kuni, right next to Kushina, although I think most of those would be marriage proposals or indecent exposure charges instead of just being a thorn in a village's side."

As the two continued chatting, there was a faint sound of music in the air. "You hear that?" asked Izumo as he and Kotetsu looked to see a familiar figure, "Is that Jiraiya?" It was indeed Jiraiya as he was supposed to be returning from a three year trip training Naruto, a.k.a. Straw Hat...but where was the straw hat wearing teen?

Yohohoho! Yohohoho!

Yohohoho! Yohohoho!

Yohohoho! Yohohoho!

Yohohoho! Yohohoho!

The two chunin then looked up to see Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze skipping in the air while playing a violin and singing. "WHAT THE HELL!?" said both Izumo and Kotetsu stared in shock at what they were seeing. Naruto was wearing dark pants, black boots that had some of the pants tucked inside, a purple vest over a plain white t-shirt, green goggles around his neck, a black jacket draped on his shoulders in a bancho style, and his signature straw hat as he continued skipping in the sky as he sang.

Binkusu no sake wo, Todoke ni yuku yo,

Umikaze kimakase namimakase,

Shio no mo kuo de, yuuhi mo sawagu,

Sora nya wa wo kaku, tori no uta!

Many of the villagers heard the song and looked up to see Naruto and smiled as their hero had returned from his trip. The Straw Hat Fan Club marched along underneath as the girls swoon over the teen while the children skipped along and sang with Naruto. Many of the ninja smiled as the bright tune had lifted their spirits while their hero continued to impress them.

Sayonara minato, Tsumugi no sato yo,

DON to icchou utao, funade no uta,

Kinpa-ginpa mo shibuki ni kaete,

Oretacha yuku zo, umi no kagiri!

Jinbe was walking by, carrying groceries, when he heard singing and look up to see Naruto skipping on thin air. He's back, Jinbe thought as he stroked his new goatee with his free hand, I should let the others know, especially Sakura-chan and his wives. Naruto continued to play as he saw the Hokage Building getting closer and thought, I wonder how much has changed since I left for my training?
