SIX YEARS LATER
I DO NOT OWN NARUTO
Tsunade Senju, Fifth Hokage of Konoha.
Temari and Kankuro, brother and sister to the Kazekage of Suna.
Jiraiya, the Great Toad Sage.
Sasuke Uchiha, ANBU of Konoha.
Kakashi Hatake, ANBU Captain of Konoha.
These people were gathered in the Hokage's office on the sixth death anniversary of Naruto Uzumaki.
Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage of Suna, was unable to attend because of "urgent matters for the growth of Suna" but was really out of pure grief. He couldn't bear to be where his first friend once bound through the streets.
(Just let me say that Gaara is sad because Naruto was his first friend, okay? Nothing else. Just to clear things up)
Sakura Haruno, Second Head of the hospital, was unable to attend for she had an urgent surgery to do in the Hokage's stead.
Iruka Umino, the first to befriend Naruto, was unable to attend for he had the teach in the Academy.
The respectively mournful silence was ripped away when a small child crashed through the glass windows.
"Owie," he mumbled, rubbing his head. Everyone stared in disbelief. He had spiky blonde hair and familiar cerulean blue eyes. He wore dark green ANBU pants and a navy blue short-sleeved hoodie with white sleeves. In other words, a carbon copy of Naruto when he was twelve minus the whiskers and the color orange.
"Hikaru!" A slightly familiar male voice yelled, considerably annoyed.
"Oh crap!" He scrambled up quickly.
"Hikaru, stop!" The door was flung open, and there stood a girl with long, dark brown hair tied in a high side-ponytail and bright green eyes. She wore a bright green short-sleeved hoodie, black fingerless gloves with silver plates of metal on the knuckles, a mid-thigh-length black skater skirt, thigh-length black pants and shin-high black army boots. Her navy blue forehead protector was tied around her waist.
"Would you stop otouto? Nii-san's tensed up enough as it is!" A girl with red hair mixed with orange and yellow highlights running through it tied up in a high side-ponytail stood beside the first one. She had blue eyes and was wearing exactly the same things, only her hoodie was sunset red and her fingerless gloves were dark red with black metal plates on them.
"Ha! Nii-san can't catch me!" The boy yelled, leaping away from the office, breaking yet another window in the process.
"Hikaru!!" the brunette yelled, clearly agitated.
"It's no use Aiko. He's long gone."
The two girls watched as a yellow blur landed momentarily in the office, the gaze sweeping around before fixing itself on the girls. He nodded subtly once before shooting out.
"Nii-san - uh, Sensei, will just have to use Hirashin on him." The redhead stumbled over her words. "Wait, where are we?"
"We're in Konoha, remember Natsumi? Although, this room does seem familiar." The one now known as Aiko said.
"It's like Daddy's office!" Exclaimed the newly-named Natsumi.
"Oh of course! So that means this must be the Hokage's!"
"So um, who are you?" Natsumi asked curiously.
"Well, I'm -" Tsunade started only to be cut off by the expressions of the newcomers. The girls' mouths were wide and they were gaping.
"Y-You!" Aiko stumbled backwards, pointing incredulously.
Everyone was immediately on guard.
"Natsumi! Look! The lady behind the desk *giggle* with the big chest! It's Tsunade, Nii-san's granny!" she exclaimed.
"Oh! Oh! The man who looks like he's crying blood! It's Jiraiya, the Pervy Sage! And Nii-san's brother-in-everything-but-blood! It's definitely Sasuke! Who else has duckbutt hair?" Natsumi giggled.
"And the cyclops with gravity-defying hair! It's Copycat Kakashi!" Aiko clapped her hands and jumped up and down in joy.
"Oh! Four ponytails! And cat ears with weird purple make-up! It's Temari and Kankuro!"
Everyone's jaws were on the floor.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
A voice suddenly spoke, scaring them all out of their wits.
"What happened when I was gone, kiddos?"
"Ah! Nii-san don't scare us!" The girls shouted in simultaneous indignity, whirling around.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry," the man laughed, not looking the least bit sorry, if the teasing twinkle in his eye was anything to go by. He looked around 18 and had hair exactly like the Fourth Hokage's. His blue eyes were just as kind, with the addition of a mischievous sparkle. He was wearing navy blue ANBU pants, a white short-sleeved shirt with an Uzumaki swirl on each sleeve and a green flak jacket. A katana was strapped across his back, and his navy blue forehead protector was on his forehead.
He was a living carbon copy of Minato Namikaze, except for the whisker marks. Wait. Whisker marks?!
"I see you got Hikaru," Aiko noted.
"Yes, I had to use my last resort. He's improving rapidly. You girls better get to work or he'll catch up to you!" He shifted the boy, grinning at the girls.
"I'll carry him," Natsumi offered.
"Thank you imouto. He's fallen asleep," the teenager informed the girl as he handed the boy over. "Ah, and there may or may not be ANBU chasing me," he added sheepishly.
"Nii-san, why can't you enter through gates and doors like civilized people?" Aiko asked in exasperation.
Her brother laughed. "I'm a ninja, Aiko, and ninjas have inborn hatred for doors." He laughed again as she crossed her arms, huffing, clearly annoyed with his shinobi tendencies.
"Well that would explain a lot of things," Tsunade muttered, looking at the two broken windows.
"N-Naruto. . ." Sasuke stuttered out. The blonde looked up casually, but his eyes widened as they flitted around the room, taking in the varying faces of hope and disbelief.
"What the. . . Aiko? Natsumi? Where exactly did you chase Hikaru to?"
His siblings shrugged, making him facepalm. Trust them to mess up like this.
"So we're in the Hokage's office, wonderful," he groaned.
"We figured that out a long time ago," Aiko told him smartly.
"Yeah, and we recognized these people very quickly! Except for one. I forgot who. But that's beside the point! We recognized everyone from your stories, so that means we were listening to you!" Natsumi exclaimed triumphantly.
Kakashi frowned beneath his mask. He had noticed the blonde's brows twitch together when he saw the empty space beside Temari.
"Okay, shoo little midgets. I've got business to attend to with Lady Hokage." The teen smiled, lightly shooing them out the door as the two girls groaned, reluctantly shuffling out.
"When Hikaru wakes up, pull a prank, make a racket and I'll come out, okay?"
"Okay!" The girls instantly lit up, chattering excitedly as they trooped away, arguing and exclaiming as they decided what to do to notify their sensei they were back.
Naruto chuckled as he shut the door. "Midgets," he murmured affectionately. He turned around with his hands on his hips, a trademark, sunny grin on his face. "So! Long time no see!"
"Naruto?" Tsunade whispered.
"What? Did you all think I was dead or something?" He teased, taking out a scroll from his kunai pouch and flicking it so it shot forward and landed on the Hokage's desk.
"I mean yeah sure, I got taken when Sasuke blacked out and replaced with a blood clone that "died". People sure do go overboard when they want to take someone. When I woke up, I asked Mom and Dad if they were dead, Dad spluttered in disbelief and Mom went on a rampage, lecturing and yelling profanities on how anybody could think someone like her could do so easily." He chuckled nervously. "Not your usual reunion but eh. What can you do?" The blonde leaned on the wall casually.
"Naruto. . . where. . . how. . .?" Jiraiya was at loss for words.
"I'm an Uzumaki," he grinned. "Uzumakis don't die easy."
And that's all for today! Thank you for reading, and please review. It really helps. And any and all ideas are welcome! If you want me to put something in, feel free to tell me. If you want this story or another story updated, just tell me and I'll try my best to do so.
Thank you!
