Authoress� Notes:
Hi guys! Thanks again for the reviews! And I�m sorry if some
of you weren�t satisfied with the last chapter� Xޠ

I know, I know! This update has been long overdue! I already
told you why and I have been suicidal lately, honestly� I also have this
unhealthy obsession of making sure I have at least 2500 to 3000+ words in every
chapter I make unless it�s a one-shot fic. X��

And I am currently lost in the valley of nothingness�

Chapter 5

- - - - - - - - -

Naruto and Jiraiya stopped in their tracks. Naruto looked at
the white-haired sannin, slightly confused.

�We�re here.� Jiraiya said as he looked at the blonde boy.
�Welcome to your new home.�

�Eh? Where?� Naruto asked, not really knowing where to look.
The street was lined with white Sakura trees illuminated by the bright street
lamps.

Naruto inwardly hoped earlier that the place itself wasn�t
situated near those smug, rich, uptight, no non-sense families. He couldn�t
possibly survive a lifetime mingling with them. He was thankful however, when
Jiraiya informed him that the place itself was almost near the Hyuuga compound
and not really far away from where the Uchiha�s were settled. For him, that
made sense, knowing about his own bloodline.

Jiraiya grabbed Naruto by the collar and turned his head.
Naruto scowled at Jiraiya who then motioned him to look in front.

�Here.� Jiraiya pointed to the direction of a gate. Naruto�s
line of sight followed to where Jiraiya�s thumb was pointing. Naruto�s jaw
literally dropped to the ground when he saw to where the Ero-sennin was
pointing. Dumbfounded would be damned well be the highly used understatement of
the year. He was gawking at a fairly large wooden gate; the walls to which it
was attached to, stretched a couple of meters along from where they passed
until the end of the street on the opposite end and was high enough to hide the
inner estate that it held in it�s confines. (1)

�I know what you�re thinking brat and you better believe it.
You got the keys right? Lend me.� Naruto dumbly nodded as he handed Jiraiya the
keys. As Jiraiya unlocked the gate, Naruto held his breath as they entered the
compound. What lay before almost made him faint for the lack of oxygen running
through his system.

�Breathe kid; I don�t want to carry you inside the house.�
Jiraiya said as he playfully slapped the boy�s back.

Naruto stumbled a bit forward as he surveyed the sight
before him. It was nothing grand or fancy. In fact, it was simple and neat and
well taken care of. The bushes lining the walls were trimmed and kept, there
were a couple of Cherry Blossoms and Willow trees in the compound as well a the
pond had live fishes too!

: Wait a minute, how
come there are fishes swimming in that pond? : Naruto wondered as he ogled
at the carps that were currently sleeping.

: They�re probably new
kit. : Kyuubi answered.

�You know, those fishes aren�t going to wake up any time
soon unless you have plans on joining them in the water.� Jiraiya said
good-naturedly. Naruto simply glared back at the man.

Once the duo entered the comforts of the house, the two of
them sat down in the living room and talked about the plans Naruto had in mind
and Jiraiya, for once every blue moon, gave handed out some useful and
parent-like advice to the healthy bundle of nerves named Naruto.

�Ne, Ero-sennin, there�s something I would like to ask you.�
Naruto said.

�Stop calling me that you damn brat! And what is it?�
Jiraiya said as he playfully smacked the back of Naruto�s head.

�If Rookie 9 and the rest would ask you or something about
why I left, just tell them it was a spur of the moment thing that you wanted to
train me or something�please?�

Jiraiya paused midway from sipping his tea and looked
thoughtfully at Naruto. What did really happen to this boy four years ago?

�Sure thing kid, who am I to deny a distressed apprentice of
mine.� Jiraiya nodded as he flashed a genuine smile at Naruto.

And the two continued to talk the rest of the night.

Naruto woke up early in the morning, excited that he was now
officially a part of Konoha�s elite ANBU squad. He proudly donned his uniform
as he walked down the hallway only to be greeted by the smell of sweet waffles
for breakfast.

�Wait a minute!
Waffles!? Ero-sennin doesn�t even know how to make waffles unless��

�Iruka-sensei!?� Naruto lunged forward as he glomped the
sweet-tempered chuunin by the midsection. Thankfully, Iruka had already set
down the plates when he felt Naruto near the kitchen.

�What are you doing here so early in the morning? Don�t you
have a bunch of kids to teach back at the academy?� Naruto asked.

�Hokage-sama gave me the day off. She let Shiranui-san take
care of the kids for me.� Iruka replied. �Serves
him right!� Iruka thought.

�Eh? Does Genma-san even know how to teach?�

�Beats me,� Iruka shrugged. �But if the kids don�t learn
anything useful from that man�� Iruka trailed off, Naruto merely sweatdropped
and mentally highlighted previous mental notes regarding not pissing off a
certain mother hen.

Somewhere in the academy, a certain senbon chewing jounin
sneezed and only hoped that he wouldn�t be catching a cold since it was the
second time he sneezed since he still have plans to seduce a dolphin.

�Well, let�s not talk about that guy, why don�t you sit down
and have some breakfast before you meet up with Hokage-sama.� Iruka ushered as
Naruto let go of his midsection and began to dive in the mound of sweet
smelling waffles...

�Zish ish shoo ngood! Ish delshoos. I misshed fyour
ngooking!� Naruto mumbled in between chew. Being around Naruto every meal time
made Iruka an expert in decoding the blonde�s eating vocabulary. (2)

�You know you shouldn�t be talking with your mouth full
but then again, I�m glad you liked it Naruto. Is Jiraiya-sama coming down
anytime soon?� Iruka asked as he set another plate of waffles on the table and
sat across Naruto.

�Nah, I think he�s going to sleep in. We�ve been talking
all night.� Naruto said as he shoved another forkful of waffles.

Iruka nodded as he took in Naruto�s appearance. Iruka had
previously known that Naruto had already become an ANBU. He can�t help but
worry about Naruto�s well-being every time the boy would be in a mission. He
worried for the sake of being such a worry wart, he truly cared and worried
about Naruto even though he knew that the boy could take care of himself but he
just couldn�t help it. Iruka mentally sighed. How time flies.

Naruto on the other hand noticed Iruka spacing out as he
finished his waffles.

: He�s worried about
you kit. A total mother hen that he is, heck! He might beat me to the GREATEST
MOM in Konoha award! : Kyuubi feigned shock as she supplied filling in the
blank spaces in Naruto�s trail of thought.

: Worried about what
Kyuu-chan? : Naruto asked. Kyuubi merely sweatdropped at Naruto�s honest
and straightforward response; who in the world could not even get it?!

�Iruka-sensei, you okay? You�re food is getting cold.�
Naruto waved his hand in front of Iruka�s face.

�Oh, it�s nothing Naruto, why don�t you go on ahead; you
wouldn�t want to be late with your meeting with Hokage-sama. I�ll clean up
afterwards.� Iruka said as he smiled brightly at Naruto. �And by the way, after
your meeting with Hokage-sama, why don�t we meet by the tea shop near the
training grounds.�

Naruto tilted his head in question.

�I saw Sakura last night with Ino, Ten-ten and Hinata.
They said they wanted to have a picnic with you. Catching up I guess.�

Naruto nodded as he prepared to leave. A few moments later
and a few nods of �I�m off,� Naruto poof-ed out of sight.

Once Naruto arrived at the Hokage Tower,
he immediately headed for Tsunade�s office. The moment he was given permission
to enter, he was surprised to see the toad sannin casually leaning over the
window in the Hokage�s office. Tsunade wasted no time as she discussed with her
surrogate brother what she exactly or should I say what she and Jiraiya
discussed an hour earlier.

�Naruto, you will be the captain of the ANBU squad that I
have prepared. As for the members, I will be informing them later. I shall call
for you to meet with your team mates and discuss your first team assignment
later on.�

Naruto stood there, dumbfounded to actually hear that
Tsunade actually assigned him to become an ANBU captain. Finally gaining some
senses, he opened his mouth to ask the slug sannin,

�Anou� Tsunade-nee-chan, can I ask you something?�

�Shoot.�

�It�s not that I am questioning your decision in
appointing me as ANBU captain, but shouldn�t there be some sort of tests first?
I remember asking Ero-sennin about it before.�

Jiraiya practically twitched upon hearing that familiar
nickname Naruto coined for him but nevertheless spoke to answer the question
for Tsunade.

�Well technically, there is. But given your achievements
and based on my first hand experience and that I am fully aware of just how
capable you really are, I gave my own recommendation as to have you assigned as
captain.�

�True, I may not have seen your abilities myself yet but I
do trust Jiraiya when it comes to matters such as this. He may be the biggest
pervert in the history of shinobi for all he�s worth but he doesn�t lie when it
comes to delicate matters of such importance.� Tsunade quipped as Jiraiya
proudly nodded in agreement.

Tsunade and Naruto sweatdropped and glared at the said
man.

�Well, all that said, why don�t you get going? I�m sure
there a few more things you want to do and catch up on. I�ll send for you
later.� Tsunade promptly said as Naruto nodded and turned his heel to leave.
Once the two sannin were sure that Naruto was out of earshot, they began to
talk.

�He sure has changed Jiraiya.�

�I told you so. I bet you were expecting him to have been
very excited upon hearing that he would be the captain. He�s matured Tsunade.�

�Yes I was. Somehow, I miss the old brat, but beggars
can�t be choosers. I know deep down inside him, the old Naruto is still there
somewhere. But I do have to say that this change seems good, less of a headache
to deal with.� Tsunade smiled.

�Well then, I better get going. I still have some resear��

But even before Jiraiya could finish, Tsunade knew exactly
what was up his sleeve and punched him squarely in the face, sending him flying
over the rooftops and once again ending up in the onsen district of Konoha.
Poor guy�

�Aaah! I feel younger sending that old bag away.� Tsunade
said as she cracked up her knuckles and neck. Just then, Shizune knocked and
entered the Godaime�s office.

�Tsunade-sama, I thought I heard Jiraiya-sama.� Shizune
said as she placed the tea she brought on the desk.

�He just left.� Tsunade sat back down and began to sip her
tea as another knock resounded a few minutes later.

�Enter.�� Tsunade
commanded.

�Tsunade-sama, you wanted to see me?�

�Kakashi, it�s nice that you decided to drop by on time.�
Tsunade grinned. Kakashi�s visible eye just curved upward as he sheepishly scratched
the back of is head.

�What is that you wanted to talk to me about Tsunade-sama?�
Kakashi started. Tsunade pushed a folder from her desk towards him.

�I want you to tell me what you think.�

Kakashi stepped forward and opened the folder to study the
contents. The first impression he got as he scanned through the pages was that whoever
this person was, was definitely skilled and talented for an 18 year old.

�So?�

�I must say that the person who owns this mission profile is
really something. And to think this person is only 18.�

�Anyway, with that said, I�m assigning you back as a full
time ANBU.�

The expression on Kakashi�s face was priceless, as Tsunade
would like to think.

�No questions asked. I�ll send for you later so you could
meet up with your new team and brief you guys with your first mission. Now
scram, I still have stacks of papers to sign.� Tsunade waved her hand
dismissively as she started signing papers with much forced enthusiasm. Kakashi
sweatdropped and as he was about to turn his heel to leave, Tsunade called for
his attention once again.

�Oh, before you go, this is for you.� Tsunade reached inside
the drawer of her desk and handed Kakashi a neatly wrapped package. The
silver-haired jounin eyed the package and glanced at Tsunade, but before he
could ask what it is or it was from, the Godaime beat him to it seemingly
reading his thoughts. �Just open it.�

Kakashi opened the package carefully. His eyes widened,
albeit the other one being covered and was surprised by the contents of the
package.

It was a navy blue weapon�s pouch with the leaf symbol
embroidered in silver. Inside was a silver kunai case with his initials beautifully
engraved on its smooth surface and along with it was the super special
collector�s limited edition hardbound Icha-Icha Paradise.

Kakashi looked back at the Hokage, but before he could even
voice out the question in his head, Tsunade had beaten him to it.

�It�s from our precious blue-eyed blonde.�

And Kakashi�s eyes widened yet again.

Authoress� Notes:

So, who do you guys think will be in Naruto�s team? Got any
wild guesses? I�ll give you a cookie! (^o^)/

My muse is back. Let�s hope she stays longer or better yet,
FOR GOOD!

And I know this is short in terms of my long absence but I
just can�t make it any longer.

And please don�t kill me! I promise Kakashi will finally get
to meet Naruto on the next chapter! Until then, reviews please? It really makes
my day and it will help me update faster unless you want me to update after 8
months� (Puts on protective gear and hides from flame throwers, bullets and
cannon balls headed her way.)

Footnotes:
(1) Imagine the Uzumaki estate in the likes of the Uchiha
compound, only smaller since they don�t have branch members in the likes the
Hyuuga or Uchiha clan.�

(2) Translation: This is so good! It�s delicious! I missed
your cooking!
