(Naruto) Team Seven: Life Returned (OLD)

Start of the Past

"You know Gaki. If your fuuinjutsu is still lacking I'll teach you"

"Yeah hehehe, I'm still stuck in Level 8" Naruto grinned sheepishly

They were now in Ichiraku's, eating ramen and reminiscing. Naruto notice a man enter as he inhaled the ramen he was eating

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto said grinning at the man. Kakashi raised a hand to acknowledge the boy. Then he notices the man sitting next to him

"Jiraiya-sama. What are you doing here?"

"Well, I'm just talking to the brat here, Rokudaime-sama" Jiraiya smirked as Kakashi raised his eyes

"You told him?" Kakashi said to Naruto

"Nah, summoning contract" Naruto said to Kakashi which he understood and nodded

"So you're still going tomorrow, Jiraiya-sama?" Kakashi asked the man. Jiraiya shooked his head

"I'm gonna connect with some of my contacts outside and try to figure out something from these invaders Naruto told me about..." said Jiraiya as he notices Kakashi and Naruto flinch. "Why are you so scared of this guys anyways?"

"Because Ero-sennin, if you were there, you would be" said Naruto as his eyes darkened

"Why the sudden change, Orochimaru-sama?" Kabuto asked his master

They were at the south walls of Konoha, cloaked to cover their appearance. Orochimaru was going through a number of seals as sweat trickled down his face

"It is none of your concern Kabuto. It's just a simple matter of changing my mind" hissed Orochimaru said to Kabuto, as he put his hand to the ground. A wave of chakra covered half of the wall before dissipating.

"If I may ask, Orochimaru-sama... what is the purpose of this jutsu you're doing?" Kabuto asked in total confusion

"Kukuku, let's say that this will surprise everyone in the village. A very big surprise." Satisfied with the result, Orochimaru motioned Kabuto to follow him

"Let's go the next one"

After accompanying Jiraiya and saying goodbye after he announced he would meet up with his contacts, Naruto was now walking to his apartment, trying to avoid the villagers stares

'This is so uncomfortable... How the hell did I live through this?' Naruto thought remembering the days before he was a hero. Alone, avoided. It made Naruto just miss his past.

"This is one of the days I miss Boruto and Himawari..." Naruto muttered feeling downcast. Then he saw someone very familiar "Is that... Hinata?"

Hyuuga Hinata, was the heiress of the Hyuuga clan, walking with grace and sophistication, she is a proper and prim Princess of Konoha.

Inside though... she was a simple pre-teen girl with the thoughts of her crush in her head.

'Did Naruto-kun just asked me on a date yesterday? No, that's Impossible... I mean, I woke up in my bed, but I clearly remember...' she thought with intensity. If it was a dream... it was a very good one

Then a familiar blond fox boy suddenly appeared in front of her

"Heyyo Hinata!" The blonde had said in a familiar foxy grin. Hinata widened her eyes as she took a step back

"N-Naruto-kun?" She asked in surprise. 'Keep your cool! Don't faint!'

"Yep! The one and only!"
