Chapter one: surprised awakening

He woke with a start and then wondered... how did he wake? How could he feel? Yes, it was soothing to feel the wind on ones face and the grass below him, but how? What year was it? It wasn't sure how long he had been dead. Was he even ever dead? Of course he was. He knew he had died. He remebered the feeling of having his soul pulled out of him and the screaming of the new born child. He remembered smiling and thinking "This is it. I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer Naruto. I wish I could stay and watch you grow. Grow and be a wonderful ninja and hero of this town. Live on Naruto. Live on and be a hero." 'Maybe...' he thought, 'maybe the jutsu didn't work!' Maybe the whole village was gone and he had simply been knocked unconscience. No, no no. He remembered the cold feeling of death.

He then thought about the books he read and the movies he'd seen about people being brought back to life. They were usually brought back for evil deeds and usually...

He shot up as fast as possible to make sure all his clothes were on. When he realized he did he breathed a sigh of relief. He laid back down. He could stay here a little longer.

Then he heard a snap, and he shot streight to his feet. Who ever was going to attack him wouldn't know what hit them.

He reached for a kunai when he relized that he didn't have any. Not only that, he had spotted his so called "attacker." The poor girl was hiding behind a near by tree, slightly shaken by his actions. What had the old pervert always told him? Not to attack before understanding the situation. And now he had scared the wits out of some innocent girl. He sat back cross-legged and hit himself in the head.

"It's ok. You can come out. I'm not going to hurt you."

The girl still seemed a little unsure, but came out anyways.

"Umm... um... ano... I'm.. I'm sorry... I.. I.. didn't mean to... to..."

Whatever this girl was trying to say, she was taking a long time to say it. He just looked at her with a confused look (his eyes closed and he had a questioning look on his face). He saw that when he did that it only made the girl gasp, blush and hide her face in her hands. Scratching his head wondering what he had done he decided this was going no where.

"Can you at least tell me how many years its been since Kyuubi?"

The girl looked up surprised. Who didn't know when kyuubi was beaten? It was something taught as soon as one could learn.

"um.. um.. ano..ano.. 13 years.. ago.." She said shyly. This was the first time time he had seen her eyes and relization dawned on him.

"Ah ha! Your a Hyuuga! oh wait.. 13 years ago? Wow! thats a long time! So what's your name?"

"Hi... Hinata... umm... who... who are you?" This guy was completely random. She couldn't help but sense that they were the same in more then looks and gestures.

"Me? I'm Yo..." He couldn't tell her that he was the Yondaime. After all he was supposed to be dead for 13 years. "Yoda!" Oh god, what had he done? "Yoda Uzumaki!" He said with a large grin. With that, whatever little color was in her face left and she looked faint.

"nani? Something wrong Hinata-chan?" the girl just stared at him in disbelief. Then did the last thing he would expect of a Hyuuga. She ran away.

"Hm. Wonder what's wrong with her." He didn't ponder on it to long because his stomach started to growl. "Hm, what if the old man still runs a ramen stand." He got up and started leaving the forest when he hit himself in the head and did a quick transformation. He changed himself so he looked like a man in his mid-30's with black smooth hair and brown eyes. He had a chuunin vest on and a forehead protector actually on his forehead. "That should do it!" he said with a tone of satisfaction and headed for the ramen stand. After that, he would pay some old friends a... visit...
