[Most important A/N: Hello, everyone. I'm here because this chapter is a really important one, this is the chapter that marks not only a record of my own but also a new leaf for the fanfic itself. Anyway, my point is: I want to say to everyone that has been accompanying the fanfic up to now, we have attained the mark of 100 chapters, cheers! Thanks for all the support given up to now!]

1 year later, Uzushiogakure.

'Hm... I feel three signatures coming towards Uzushiogakure, from what I remember they're Nii-san, Sasuke and Karin. They don't know how to enter, no wonder they are circling around the Fuuinjutsus I placed, dumb me.' Naruto thought to himself while facepalming.

Pondering to himself, Naruto thought about a certain Clan that became one Uzushiogakure military strengths 'It would be pretty nice, I still remember about six months ago, the Chinoike Clan... They were pretty similar to mine in some parts, they were overshadowed and then annihilated, however, quite a few survived by hiding.'

'Hahahahaha... I wonder how Sasuke would see a Clan whose Genjutsu is even better than his Sharingan?' The blonde youngster thought to himself while laughing mischievously.

..

''Brother-in-l- I mean, Kakashi-san, didn't you say that you knew the way to Uzushiogakure? Why aren't we finding it?'' Karin asked in an annoyed manner while looking towards Kakashi.

The latter shrugged and decided not to say anything. Sasuke seemed to understand something: ''Naruto is like a master on Fuuinjutsu, he probably has placed many Seals around the Village and changes them regularly. Also... I'm sure there's Genjutsu involved on them, a very high-level one.''

''BOO!''

''Kyaaa!'' Karin jumped in fright while yelling. Kakashi was composed but his heart did skip a beat or two, as for Sasuke... he was also scared but as an Uchiha, he just nodded slightly with his usual speech: ''Hn.''

''Sup, everyone! I missed you all!'' Naruto said with a wide smile as their eyes seemed to water a bit.

Looking towards Naruto in a daze for a few seconds, Karin finally snapped out of her daze before saying while tearing up: ''Wooooo! Naruto-kuuuuun, I missed you so much!''

This time, however, Naruto didn't dodge her attempt to hug him and simply accepted. Despite always rejecting these kinds of feelings as he felt they were futile, the blonde youngster did miss Karin, Sasuke, Hinata and even Sakura.

''Yo, Naruto.'' Sasuke said before adding with a light smile: ''You probably became very strong, eh? But I also became extremely strong in these two years. I'm eager to fight you but I don't think now is an appropriate moment.''

Kakashi just facepalmed at this battle maniac while adding in his mind: 'Naruto is also a battle maniac, ugh...'

Giving a bear hug to his brother as the redhead finally let the former go, Kakashi said: ''I missed you, otouto. However... if you stay 2 years without giving me even a single bit of news again, I won't let you eat even a single Ramen.''

Naruto smirked at his brother while pointing his nose towards the sky: ''Hehe, Nii-san, I'm now stronger than you! As such, I can eat Ramen whenever I want!''

''Ouch...'' Naruto muttered to himself with aggrieved eyes after Kakashi chopped his head with his hands. Sasuke and Karin facepalmed while laughing at his antics.

It seems that somethings don't change, even after you become extremely strong.

...

''Hey, Naruto, what was up with these Fuuinjutsus? Even though we could feel that we were being deceived by our eyes, we just couldn't ignore it. I could also feel a bit of Genjutsu!'' Sasuke asked while looking towards Naruto. The Fuuinjutsu plus Genjutsu combination seemed to scare him quite a bit.

Smiling lightly as he teleported everyone directly to his Uzukage's Office, Naruto said: ''Oh, you mean the Fuuinjutsu-Genjutsu combination? You see, I found a very interesting Clan in the verge of destruction and saved around two to three hundred of their members. They have a Doujutsu called 'Ketsuryugan' and its functions are very unique.''

Then, he added: ''Their Genjutsu is even stronger than your Sharingan one.''

''What? A Genjutsu stronger than the Sharingan? Damn, that Clan must be hella strong, right?'' Sasuke said, shock plastered all over his face.

Naruto nodded lightly: ''Even if you can ignore the Genjutsu and know how to evade the Fuuinjutsu, you can't join the Village. This happens because everything that happens is monitored by me and by my clansmen.''

''Also, did the Hag Sannin give you permission to come? I already knew about Nii-san and Karin but not you, Sasuke.'' Naruto said, Karin wasn't a Shinobi from Konoha to begin with. As for Kakashi, he retired from his duties as a Konohagakure's Shinobi and simply left.

Pondering for a bit, Sasuke nodded before he said: ''Yeah. She said that under the pretense of being the representative of Konohagakure, I could come here. Hinata will also be coming here as the female representative.''

''Cool. That's good and all but tell me something...'' Naruto said as his face became extremely serious. Sasuke couldn't help but become serious as well as the blonde youngster started to talk: ''Say... what's up with that ridiculous clothing?''

Thud!

Sasuke was so shocked about his question that he fell to the ground before standing up in anger. Looking towards Naruto, he said: ''This is not ridiculous, this is style, you know? Style!''

''If I had to guess, it was Sakura that made your clothing.'' Naruto said while scratching the back of his head. Karin and Kakashi couldn't help but laugh because Naruto guessed it completely right!

Seeing Sasuke's face that became red as an apple, Naruto smiled teasingly as he said with a small smile: ''Eh... Don't worry, your clothing is completely normal, not ridiculous at all. Pffft...''

''Please stop, Naruto... You don't know what I had to go through while trying to reject using this. I... I feel that all of my dignity was taken away after being threatened by Sakura!'' Sasuke said while almost crying rivers. Even Naruto couldn't help but feel pity.

Patting Sasuke's shoulders, Naruto consoled him: ''Don't worry, man. But... I'm certain you are stronger than Sakura, why did you even allow her to threaten you? What happened to your strength? To your pride as an Uchiha? Brother of the incredible Itachi Uchiha!''

''This reminds me... How is your brother's disease going?'' Naruto asked with genuine concern. One of the few humans he cared inside Konoha besides Tsunade, Jiraiya and his friends were Fugaku, Mikoto, Itachi and Shisui.

A happy smile appeared over the black-haired youngster's face as he said with a tinge of respect: ''Tsunade-sama cured his disease!''

Naruto nodded as he said with a wide smile: ''That's good! Now, let's go for a walk through Uzushiogakure, shall we?''
