Futher down in Kohana a jonin was leaning against a wall in a calm and non-crowded city taking part in his favorite pastime.

"Kakashi sensei! Hey!"

Kakashi lifted his head and greeted the young ninja.

"Hello there Naruto, I was wondering when you'd be returning. Welcome back"

"Heh, thanks sensei! I see your still reading that book too! I guess not much has changed." Naruto said as he put his arms behind his head with a grin.

"Things may seem the same, Naruto, but believe me, things have changed."

"Huh?" Naruto whirled around, grin dissolved into confusion, saw someone he remembered perfectly from his old squad.

"Oh! Sakura! I didn't know you were here! Hey!" Naruto said gaining his grin back.

"I've been here, doing what you left the village to do. Train." She says, matter-of-factly.

"You've been training to? I guess were both way stronger!" The blonde teen laughed.

"I think I'll be the judge of that." Said Kakashi as he stood up straight while closing and putting away his book.

This got both of the teen ninja's attention. They both turned to him in question, and awaiting an answer. Finally they got that answer.

"You two are to be tested once more. Its the same as the first time. You must each retrieve a bell from me. Think you two are up for it?" The jonin questioned.

The two turned and looked at each other, smirked and swiftly turned to him again.

"Yeah, were ready for it Kakashi sensei! And this time we won't take as long to do it either, believe it!"

Kakashi smiles (not that it could actually be seen by anyone) and said: "Good, follow me"

Later that day:

"Well, congratulations, even though you two tricked me...you've passed my test. "

"WOOOOWHOO! " Naruto screamed out, hopping into the air happily.

"OH - YEAH! " Sakura yelled. (Inner Sakura: CHA! You bet we tricked you! You never even saw it coming!)

Naruto suddenly stopped when he felt a insistent growling in his stomech. He frowned and closed his eyes, puting a hand over his stomech.

"Ah, man! After all that's gone on today, I could really go for some ramen right about now!" Naruto announced.

"Yeah, im kinda hungry too. " Sakura added in, agreeing with Naruto for once.

"Hmm...well, I guess I could treat you guys to dinner...after all you guys did pass my tes-" Kakashi's words were cut off by Naruto's outburst of food induced excitment.

"Really Kakashi Sensei?! Well what are you waiting for?! Lets go eat!"

Kakashi sighed and began walking. A few minutes later and a few more minutes of walking, it didn't seem they were heading for Naruto's favorite ramen shop.

"Hey, what gives! This isn't the way to the ramen shop! " The blonde ninja complained.

"Bingo. "

" 'bingo' ? What do you mean 'bingo' ?" Naruto nearly shouted.

"I mean were not going to the ramen shop." The jonin responded calmly.

"Wha? Why? If were not goin' to the ramen shop then were are we goin' ?" He asked.

Kakashi responded with a quick reply of: "You'll find out when we get there"

"Sensei...your not making any sense..." Sakura added in. Naruto had a point...where were they going?

Sakura got no response so she tried again. " Sensei, we're not even heading in the direction of any food places...Were heading towards the homes. "

" Again, bingo. "

"..."

Neither knew what to say to that. So was he taking them to...his house?

" Kakashi sensei, your taking us to your house? " Sakura asked.

" Well I have dinner waiting at home and I don't think food should ever go to waste. So yes, I am. The food should aleady be ready. "

" We get to finally see what your house looks like! This might be fun after all! " Naruto said, arms behind his head again as he laughed.

Naruto opened his eyes and saw a house in the fare back, behind the rest of the houses, that seemed to be where they were headed. It was shaded and calm looking, nearly hiden under the trees that swayed in the light breez of the on coming night.

" Hey! Thats gadda be it! Alright! Where there! Food time! " Naruto shouted and took off runing to the house.

"Ah man! I can't wait! I bet dinner is ganna be something great! Like a whole lot of ramen! " He said to himself as he neared the house.

"Grrrrr! Naruto! You can't just burst into someone elses house like that! You should ATLEAST wait for Kakashi sensei and me! " Sakura shouted after him.

Naruto didn't hear her seeing as he was being guided by his stomech. His mind kicked back into action when he was haulted by an onslot of kunai fly out at him from above.

"AHHHHHHH! WHAT THE HECK?! " Naruto screamed as he quickly stopped runing and started dodging all the flying sharp bombs from the sky.

Sakura stopped walking instently and watched the scene unfold before her.

Naruto must have dodged atleast a couple dozen kunai before he triped over his foot and fell backwards. ' oh no! One of those kunai are ganna hit me for sure! ' As soon as he hit the ground he clenched his eyes shut, readying himself for the pain of his body being throttled by kunai. But no more came. No pain. No sound but the wind.

" What the- ? " He slowly opened his eyes, but didn't get a chance to finish his sentence. A kunai was held at his throat within seconds. Naruto squaked out in surprise at having been caught off guard.

" Stay were you are ninja! You won't be breaking into this home while im around! "

" Huh? " Naruto looked up to find a small child that looked to be no more then 8, or around the age of Konohamaru.

The child had lazy and bored eyes that were currently filled with serious furry. He wore a black tank top shirt with black pants that glisened blue making them seem a different color. To add to the look he had long white bandage wraps wraped around his hands, waist, waist, and ankles. As for pysical aperences he had short light gray-ish brown hair that spiked at the bottom at his neck and bangs that hung over his light black eyes.

Just as soon as Naruto realized it was a child doing all this he composed himself and jumped backwards onto his feet.

" Twerp! How dare you! I wasn't ganna break in! I was invited here for dinner by my sensei! So back off! " naruto Shouted at the kid. But naruto's insults and yelling didn't even fase the young boy. He Merly narrowed his eyes.

" Its ok, Kagashi, these two are my students I informed you of. " Kakashi sayed calmly calmly as he slowly walked up to the two with Sakura close by.

The boy turned to Kakashi and looked back and forth between Naruto and Sakura.

He straightened his posture and swung the kunai he had held to Naruto's neck earlier around his index finger and swiftly packaged it away in his pouch on his leg that carried other numorous wepons.

" I apoligize. I hope I didn't hurt you or your friend."

" yea I forgive ya, but next time you'd better think twice before tryin' to pull that again. Because next time I won't hesitate like I did to knock you out cold. " Naruto said braging.

The kid now known as Kagashi averted his eyes and mumbled out. " I'd like to see you try..."

Naruto growled and yelled again. "Argh! What was that?! Your asking for it kid!"

Kagashi lifted his head back up to Naruto and ground his teeth baring them to Naruto in annoyence and a struggle to mind his place with someone older then him.

Sakura stepped up to Naruto and Kagashi and sighed. "Eh, lay off the kid Naruto. He was just guarding the house." Naruto turned to her and gave her a funny look at her words and she thought over what he must of been thinking.

" Hey, Kakashi sensei, why do you have some little kid gaurding your house?"

" Well he needed an extra hobby so I gave him this job. And he lives here anyways. its his home too. "

"WHAT?! " Naruto and Sakura shrieked in union.

Kagashi walked up to Kakashi and looked up at him. Kakashi smiled, his eyes softened, and placed a hand on the boys head.

"Sensi...do you run a daycare or something?" Sakura asked trying to ignore her other suspition as to why a child would be living at his house. Before Kakashi could answer, the door to the house opened and another child poked his head out.

This child had dark gray hair that spiked out of the open door and disapeared behind it leaving the only other visible hair beyond his eye brows to be his bangs that almost covered his eyes.

Sakura looked at the child while smiling and figured her origonal theory must have been correct.

" So I'm right! You do run something like a daycare!" Sakura anounced with confidence. She turned to Naruto but his expression melted her smile.

"No Sakura...I...Don't think thats it...his eyes...look at his eyes Sakura." Naruto comanded in a shaky whisper.

Sakura swolled hard and slowly turned back to the child at the house door.

" H-his eyes! There different colors! But...his left eye...its..."
