Naruto POV

He came back! But he didn't come back for me, he came back for Sakura, since he's been back which has only been a few months, I've not see him because she always keeps him away so I eventually stopped trying, there is only so many times a person can try before they need to stop, the village has changed quite a bit over the years, obviously the rookie 11 are no longer genin we have all grown up, as it happens lately I've been going on a lot of missions, not with Kakashi though since he's mostly retired now and only trains new Aubu recruits, he says his body isn't up to the more serious missions anymore but he'll still help train the newbies which I think he likes doing to be honest, no my new team consist of Shikamaru, Ino and Choji, I have to say that I've enjoyed it more than I thought I would, I think they were surprised that I was joining them but when I explained that I needed a solid excuse to keep what I'm doing a secret, they tried to ask me more questions but I didn't tell them anything but joining them was the perfect cover for me since they've been doing a lot of missions outside of the village and I also didn't want to be in the village all of the time anymore, the village itself will always be my home but I don't much care for the villagers and would rather be outside of it

When the war ended I was tested for a place in Aubu and after passing quickly and with top marks I was given a place, my codename was 'Kitsune' pretty obvious why I was named that though, I didn't want people to know about my new shinobi rank and asked if it could be classed as a SSS-Rank secret within the village, luckily I didn't have Danzo around anymore since he was killed by Sasuke something no-one has really bothered about speaking of which helped, so no-one knows about my status in Anbu only granny, Kakashi and Shikamaru's dad, I think Shikamaru might have an idea but he's never made it known, I mean it's kind of obvious why I needed a solid cover to leave the village and it's not like they don't know that I never stay with them for long nor am I ever on their mission reports either

Another thing in my life that has changed is that I no longer live alone now, Kakashi moved in with me at first he said it would be better since I wouldn't be in the village much but I also suspect that he was feeling lonely a little bit well that's the impression he gives me anyway, at first we both had to get use to another person living in the same apartment, I mean I've lived on my own for a long time now and I know so has he but I've kind of gotten use to it and it's nice coming home from a mission to have someone say ''welcome home'' even though he trains the newbies he still makes time to train with me sometimes, we seem to have a brotherly relationship going on and I think that suits us both

I'm not going to lie and say it was easy to adjust to living with someone but we made it work, at first we just carried on doing what we've always done in our own apartments and when we figured out each others patterns it was easier to add other things, like when I'm not on missions I would cook for us before leaving because since returning, I've been helping the red district rebuild some of their shops after they were destroyed and no-one else seem to want to help, so when I'm not busy you can find me there, I'm just surprised no-one has figured it out yet though I do like keeping it quiet since apparently I've got a fan club in that section which surprised me but they aren't like Sasuke's when we were younger which I was very grateful to hear because then I wouldn't be happy about it

At the present moment I'm at the Nara compound training something that I've been doing for the last few months now since this is one of the places that I can train in peace -and the Aubu personal training ground- without running into any of my former teammates and the other rookies "Naruto" I heard bringing me out of my thoughts I looked up and saw Shikamaru walking towards me "yeah" I said breathlessly taking my vest off to wipe the sweat of my forehead, it's been 8 months since the war ended and in that time my body has changed as well as my personality don't get me wrong I haven't changed completely I'm just a lot more calmer and that was from meditation, which let me tell you wasn't easy for me to master but also the war made me quieter the things I saw was something I'll never be able to forget "the hokage wants to see you" he replied sounding bored which isn't unusual "fine, lets go" I answered calmly before following him
