"You actually did, I'm glad." Kurama was glad that Naruto was able to get a full night's rest for once. 
When Naruto left the mindscape and fully woke up, he was greeted with a blinding light.
"Good morning, Naruto! Or should I say afternoon? You slept so long I was about to check if you were dead or not!" Jiraiya laughed at his own joke. "Anyways, we had better get going if we want to be back to the village before it gets dark."
Naruto agreed and nodded his head to what Jiraiya was saying. "Yeah, let's get going, Pervy Sage." With that said he quickly gathered up what little he had with him and they set off back down the road.
It was late afternoon when they reached the village. "Aw man, I never realized how much I would miss home. I need some Ichiraku Ramen!" Naruto had a huge smile on his face as he walked through the somewhat familiar streets.
Jiraiya was watching Naruto with amusement. "You have a lot of energy, kid." He just shook his head as he continued to follow Naruto down the streets of the Leaf Village.
Naruto was almost to Ichiracku's when a young boy ran into him.
"Oh I'm so sorry mister!"
Naruto looked down at the little boy. He had dark raven hair and onyx eyes. "It's okay!" Naruto had a huge smile on his face. "What's your name?" Naruto knelt down so he could be face to face with the boy.
"My name's Itachi!" The boy said this with a grin on his face.
Oh my gosh! It's baby Itachi! Naruto couldn't help but think to himself how cute Itachi was as a little kid. "Well hi Itachi, I'm Naruto!"
"Will you be my friend?" Itachi looked at Naruto with big pleading eyes. 
He's too adorable! "Of course I will!" Once Naruto had said this, Itachi ran up and gave him a huge hug, thanking him over and over again.
"Itachi! Don't go running off like that. I am so sorry if he was bothering you sir." A young woman came up and picked up the young Itachi. 
"It's no problem! He was just too cute to say no to." Naruto brushed off the woman's worries. 
"I'm Mikoto, Itachi's mom. It's nice to meet you." Mikoto held out her hand to Naruto.
Naruto shook Mikoto's hand as he spoke. "It's nice to meet you Mikoto, I'm Naruto."
"Naruto! Will you play with me?!" Itachi spoke up from within his mom's arms.
Naruto almost couldn't say no while looking into the cute eyes of Itachi. Dang, why is he so darn cute! He went up and tapped him on the forehead like he had done to Sasuke so many times. "Sorry Itachi, I've got somewhere to be right now. Next time, okay. I promise." Naruto smiled at Itachi as he and his mom walked away.
Naruto was following Jiraiya through the village until he came to a stop in front of a bar. "Uh Pervy Sage... I'm only seventeen. I'm too young to be drinking." Naruto rolled his eyes at the familiar one-track mindedness of his Master. 
"Now now, Naruto. We are meeting someone here. And you can just get water if you want." Jiraiya continued on into the bar, sitting at the far table to wait for the one they were meeting.
"So who are we meeting, Pervy Sage?" Naruto asked from across the booth they were in.
"You'll see when he gets here Naruto, so just wait." Jiraiya just shrugged as he continued to pour his sake. Now all Naruto could do was wait.
Minato was walking through the streets towards the bar they had chosen. I can't believe he already found Naruto. That was even faster than I thought it would be. Minato was almost at the bar when an ANBU Black Ops member appeared behind him. "What can I do for you?"
