It's been a few days since Naruto and co. have begun their journey towards the leaf village. As they kept walking they saw the gates in the distance amd made their way there.

Only to be greeted by the Hokage himself. He looked at Buddha wit a look of sadness in his eyes but Naruto didn't care. He just wanted to see if anything had changed since he was last here, and to keep his promise to a certain ramen maker.

Minato: Hello, Buddha. It's a pleasure to meet you fsce to face.
He greeted while sticking his hand out for a shake.

Naruto at first didn't want to shake his hand but since this was technically a diplomatic thing he reluctantly shook his hand.

Naruto: Pleasure to meet you as well, Hokage.

Minato: Please call me Minato.

Naruto sighed knowing that he knew who he actually was. He just wanted to look professional.

Naruto: You know your bad at acting right?

Minato frowned a bit knowing that he was caught.

Naruto: I'll just get straight to the point. How long have you known?

Minatos frown deepened.

Minato: *sigh* Was it that obvious?

Naruto only nodded.

Minato: Ok, well I've known for a while. I've known since Kushina and the others came back from the bridge builder mission.

Naruto didn't say anything just nodded with an impassive look. Honestly not surprised that she already told him. But a bit surprised that he didn't send anyone to go look for him. Even though he didn't show it.

Minato: So, would you like a tour of the village?

Naruto: No thanks. But if you get something brought to your office just send someone to let me know.

Minato: Uhh, ok.
He said a bit confused.

Naruto and the group set off on their own personal tour of the village while Minato walked with them incase any of them had questions.

Minato: Hey Naruto?

Naruto looked at him with a short hum.

Minato: Do you have a girlfriend by chance?
He asked trying to start a conversation.

Naruto being curious as to why he would ask that...

Naruto: No why?

Minato: Well just curious and to make sure your mother doesn't flip out about you having a girlfriend.

Naruto: Well I don't have one for a reason. I actually have a boyfriend.

This shocked Minato because he expected to have a daughter in law but didn't know how to feel about his son having a boyfriend.

Minato: Well who's the lucky person then?

Haku: T-that, would be me.
He said a bit shyly.

Minato: Oh and who are you?

Haku was about to say but was stopped by Naruto.

Naruto: Look, Minato, I know why your just hanging around us. Just understand that I want nothing to do with you lot.

Minato looked at the ground in a bit of shame.

Naruto: Bit that doesn't mean that I won't help you when the time comes. I may hate you all and village, but it's the least I can do for you.

Minato looked at him and only nodded with a small smile knowing that he atleast would help when the time came.

Naruto was about to talk more until henheard a certain someones voice. He turned around to see the rest of his family

Kushina: Hey, what happened to "stick together"?

She said as she then looked over to see him again.

Kushina:...

Naruto:....

Zabuza: Awkward....
He whispered to Haku who just nodded in response.

Kushina: H-hi, Naruto.
Sje said with a smile.

Naruto:...Hi.

???: Is this guy really our brother?
Asked a short red haired boy.

Kushina: Yes menma, this is your brother.

Naruko: H-hello, big brother.

Naruto: Pk, hows about we skip the awkward moment and decide where me and my friends will be staying.

Kushina: Your going to have to stay in the clan estate.

Naruto: *Chuckles* Yeah, no.

This shocked them even Narutos siblings were shocked by this.

Kushina: But, why?

Naruto: Well, for starters, I left the village because they didn't want anything to do with me. And you practically kicked me out of the clan.

Kushina: No we didn't.

Naruto: Oh really? Then tell me who's the next head of the Uzumaki clan?

Minato: That would be...Naruko....

Naruto: And who's the future head of the Namikaze clan?

Kushina: It's....Menma...
She said with the realization hitting her full force.

Naruto: Mhm, and did you also forget that I was supposed to be the future clan head for both? And since I'm not the future head of either of the clans than that means I can't stay at the estate.

Kushina: But your name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze!

Naruto: It WAS. Now it's just either Naruto or Buddha. Since I was basically kicked out of the clans by law I can't hold either of those names.

They stood their shocked until a certain someone said something....

Menma: The reason why you were kicked out of the clan was because you were weak.

The welcome group looked at him like this was the first time he said that. But to Naruto, he knew he was one of those cocky types. The type of people who think their tough shit because they have something that others don't.

Haku was about to attack him only to be held back by Naruto and him stopping right infront of him. While he had his staff slung over his shoulder.

Menma: Oh what are you gonna do? "Enlighten" me do death?
He said with a cocky tone.

He was about to say something more only to be cut off by a kick to the gut like he did to Kushina.

This resulted in him almost being embedded into a wall. The group ran up to get him out while Naruto said to him...

Naruto: How's that for "Enlightenment"? Let's go guys i know this one place where we can get some food.

He said walking away with both Zabuza and Haku. Tney walked for about 30 minutes until they saw it.....Ichiraku Ramen.

They walked up to the stand and sat in the seats while Naruto and Zabuza put their weapons leaned against the counter.

Naruto: Yo! Old man!

Ichiraku: Huh, Buddha? What are you doing here? Wait if your here....than Narutos here too! Where is he i want to see him!

Naruto: Hahaha, you really don't recognize me?

Ichiraku looked at him confused....

Naruto: It's me Naruto!

It took a minute for him to realize it but once he did he literally ren right around the corner and latched him into a hug and cried happily.

Ayama: Father what happened.....

Naruto: Hey Ayama, long time no see!
He said with a smile.

She too ran and almost tackled him into the ground with a hug.

Zabuza and Haku just watched the scene with smiles. Knowing that Naruto officially kept his promise. After a few minutes of hugging and crying. They started talking and eating.

Naruto told them about the things that Buddha taught him during training and about Ragnarok and how Buddha fought both q God and a demon lord. Safe to say everyone was shocked by this. He even told him that he gave him his staff and powers once he reached 14.

They were upset about Buddha leaving but it's what made Naruto stronger. Not just physically or mentally, it was the emotional strength he possessed. The power to turn such loss like that into strength it's remarkable.

Ichiraku: So, Naruto what brought you back here? Did you miss my Ramen that much?

Naruto: Well, can't someone keep a promise they made? And also to your second question, there wasn't a day that I didn't miss it.

Zabuza: Tell me about it. On some of our missions when someone talked about ramen, this guy literally hops in the conversation and won't leave it till we had to drag him away.
He said as everyone laughed at Narutos obsession with ramen.

As they were talking two anbu appeared, Zabuza was about to attack only to be stopped by Naruto.

Cat: Buddha, there is something for you at the Hokages office.

Naruto: Is it a case with the symbol of two hammers and an anvil?

The one with a bird mask nodded in confirmation.

Naruto: Then bring it here, please?

They sushined and returned a minute later with said case. They handed it to him and left.

Zabuza: Well that was fast.

Naruto: Yeah, no kidding.

Ayame: Excuse me, but what exactly is this.

Naruto smirked and opened the case and pulled out what would be a sword if it wasn't for the fact that.....

IT LOOKED LIKE THAT!!!

Naruto: Your looking at my very own sword. It took the weapon smiths months of work and it's finally finished.

Zabuza admired the weapon. Haku was amazed by it's design. While Ichiraku and Ayama were baffled by it's design and well...beauty.

Ayama: I've seen and read stories of different swords but that is something I've never seen or heard of before.

Naruto: That's because this sword is a one of a kind. Mixed with the strongest materials and pure gold.

Ichiraku/Ayama: GOLD!?

Naruto: Yep, this weapon was actually the same weapon my dad used to defeat Hajun.

Ayama: That's amazing.

Ichiraku: I'll say...Naruto? What's wrong.

They all looked over to see Naruto tearing up.

Naruto: It's nothing...it's just...I miss him very much.
He said as tears began to slowly come down his face.

He then received a friendly hug from everyone and accepted it greatly.

Naruto: Thank you, all of you.

Ayama: Hey Naruto what exactly is that sword called?

Naruto: Oh it's called-

???: NARUTO!!

Naruto groaned annoyingly and saw that it was his mother and family.

Kushina: Naruto, you shouldn't have ran off like that!

Naruto not wanting to deal with her decided to ignore her. Though her attempts at getting his attention were starting to get annoying.

So before he freaked out. He took a deep breath and exhale. He then calmly looked at her....

Naruto: What do you want?

Kushina: We want to make a deal!

Naruto: Then what exactly is this deal?

Naruko: Well, I will fight you and if I win you have to come home and live with us as a family again.

Naruto: Oh, and what if I win, hm?

Naruko: Then we'll leave you be completely.

Naruto: Are you sure about this? Cause once I say so there's no turning back.

Naruko: I just want my brother back. Is that too much to ask for?

Naruto: You zip it, I honestly thought you never had one since you basically considering the thought of my own existence not real.

Kushina: Naruto!

Naruto: Look, let's just get this over with. The sooner we do this the better.

Minato: Well, you'll have to wait tomorrow for us to set up the fight.

Naruto: Fine by me. Come on, let's go.
He said leaving his ex-family.
