[The Ideal Life]

| 01 | [Name] [Last Name] Has Returned! |

(sighs) Alright, I've decided that I'll start on this first before continuing with [Mama]. Sorry readers who read [Mama], but the majority of people are asking for the sequel :L Sorry, again! Just enjoy this chapter, kay?

Hm yes, I've decided to make Reader-chan 18, and just so you know, she returns right after Naruto-kun does. I might also need to explain her fighting skills later on in the series, since her fighting has improved and I've already got new moves for her locked away in my mind. Continue to read and enjoy, ne?

FEEDBACK: Gets the mini-series!

WARNING: Foul Language. Fluff < I'unno about that one. Crack! < Maybe.

DISCLAIMER: I, LeTiffany, do not own the manga/anime Naruto or its characters. I only own the story plot and the Original Characters (OC) I create. All credits towards Naruto should go to Masashi Kishimoto.

Step. Step. Step.

The birds on the path lifted their heads, turning to the incoming footsteps. When they caught sight of a human, they scattered off with a cry; flying into the air. Said human continued walking, not at all fazed at the sudden noise or action. It was a female - you could easily tell by the curves and chest, despite the short, cropped hair. She only stopped to raise her head up, her [e/c] orbs examining the large gates infront of her, particularly the swirl-like symbol that resembled the Konoha hitai-ate.

It's been about two and a half years since I've seen that symbol so overly large, ne.

Her own hitai-ate flashed in the sunlight, the rays bouncing off the metal object that was tied around her forearm as she started to walk towards the gates again, smiling.

"Halt! State your name and business in Konohagakure!"

Her smile widened as she sucessfully stopped in her tracks, turning her head to look at the people who stopped her.

"Hah! Kotetsu, Izumo, ne! [1] I've only left for about two and a half years, and you guys can't recognise me, ne? I feel hurt, ne!"

The two gatekeepers blinked, absorbing her words before one of them grinned, leaning back into his seat. The other blinked again, before a smile crept onto his face.

"[Name] [Last Name]! Look how much you've changed. Welcome back!"

You sighed as you walked through the streets of Konohagakure, waves of nostalgia hitting you.

Wow...not much has changed here, but...

You blinked, looking off to your left when something caught your eye. After two seconds, a large grin was stretched across your face.

They finally put Tsunade's face on the cliff, eh?!

You laughed inwardly, grin dying down to a smile as you continued walking, preferably to the Hokage's Office.

"KONO BAKAAA! [2]"
