    It's been three years since standing inside the gates of The Hidden Leaf Village. Nostalgia and a little bit of anticipation washed over me as I stepped forward to greet the guards. Izumo and Kotetsu were talking among themselves,well more like arguing about something. They sounded more like an old married couple than best friends. I stood listening to them go back and forth.

"You can't really believe that. There is no way that kid stood against the demon of the hidden mist. Kakashi had to of been the one to take that monster down. The Uchiha kid on the other hand. I can see him possibly giving the guy a fight." Kotetsu said leaning forward against their desk.

"It's going around the entire village. Apparently someone overheard Kakashi's report to the Hokage about what had happened. I'd be one of the last to believe it too."

I cleared my throat startling the two and they both turned and looked up at me. I was used to this kind of reaction. I always made it a habit to minimize my presence. One of the side effects of being in the Anbu too long.One mistake and get detected could risk an entire mission that could have devastating effects on the village. You learn to adjust.Sometimes though I forget to unmask it causing people to startle when I suddenly seem to appear out of thin air.

"Sorry about that."Izumo said standing up

"It's alright. Here's my identification and pass." I said pulling out the proper paperwork from the pouch I keep strapped to my right leg.

"Let's see here," he said grabbing it out of my hand and inspecting it. "What?!" He exclaimed. Shock and surprise showing in his face. He looked at me then back down at the papers in his hand. Kotetsu stood up and grabbed the documentation out of his friends hands.

"Are you serious?" He said as equally stunned as his partner.

I gave them both a small smile and waited patiently.

"It's been, what, three years and you've finally made it back to the village, huh?" Izumo laughed finally getting over his surprise.

"With my mission over I thought it might be good to come home. I kind of missed the place."I smiled back taking back my papers from Kotetsu's hands. "Am I good to go?"

"Yes. Of course. You should probably report straight to Lord Third before doing anything else. I'll send word ahead of your arrival." Izumo said

"No. I think I'll surprise him." I said walking away from the desk and taking my

steps back into the village.

 


The village had hardly changed at all. People bustling through the streets shopping for various things. The smells of the restaurants floating through the air. The familiar smell of Ichiraku ramen caught my attention and made my stomach growl. I'd have to stop by after checking in. I finally made my way to the Hokage's office and stopped before lifting my hand to knock on the door. I could hear voice's from the other side of the door. Not wanting to interrupt I took a step back and leaned against the opposite wall. Reaching down I pulled out my book Make Out Paradise and began reading where I left off.

"Oh come on old man.Give me a mission worth having. I'm tired of chasing cats andsearching for old ladies lost jewelry." A loud voice made it through the door.

"Naruto," A girl's voice called out followed by someone being hit. "Show some respect would you?"

"Come on Sakura. We already completed a high classed mission. We've proven ourselves to go on something better than these lousy missions." Naruto called out
