The guards at the front gates have sent forward a report that Jiraiya and Naruto have just arrived, they're just going through the customs protocols to make sure they're not enemy ninja. Yet from the way they were acting, they're either the real thing or a excellent set of imposters. They should be reporting here soon, or Jiraiya at least."
Tsunade perked up at this news, with the hint of rose in her cheeks and a smile on her ruby painted lips. She was already planning the debriefing of Naruto's training, as well as looking for some time alone with the younger man. Moves had also been made to make it easier for her to cross the blond boy's path, even if it had also helped the younger women who were out for the fox boy's body as well. As she held the power of Hokage, she had some pull on the living arrangements of her ninja forces. So it was easy to move herself and the younger chunin into the abandoned apartment building which had housed Mr. Uzumaki. It also took a little work with the genin of the ninja to bring it up to code and make sure it was in better shape then it was for years, with a tasteful appearance for all who visited.
The Fifth Hokage had moved to a nearby mirror, used and mostly hidden to keep an eye on spies trying to look in on her, to neaten up her appearance so she could make an impression on Naruto. The blond woman knew she had a promise to keep with some of the other women in the village and so she asked Shizune, "Shizune, can you bring the news of Naruto's return to the other girls? Hinata, Ino, Sakura and Tenten. Naruto would like to have his friends know he's back and I did promise those girls I would tell them when he was back. Of course, you might want to gather them all in one place at once to tell them the news and this will take time. Perhaps the tea house on the other side of town, I hear they have a unique blend of jasmine tea."
"You want some time to oogle him while the girls are distracted, don't you? Well, I'll try to gather them all up in one place. I'm not going to drag them to the other side of town for you. So just get enough cradle-robbing before all of this goes down, Lady Tsunade." said the medical apprentice as she disappeared with a ninjutsu. Tsunade continued to fix herself up, trying to find the balance of showing off her cleavage for Naruto while keeping her perverted teammate from looking down her chest.
The balancing act was going to be a problem as she thought, 'This is going to take a few minutes, and even then I'm going to fail.'
At the gates of the village...
Naruto was going through the process of being checked out by chunin guarding the over-large portal which would hold back invasion forces. All of their equipment, supplies and personal items were check as were their bodies to a limited amount. The laptop being seized by the older ninja was a worry for him, but it seemed they were just giving it a glance and then returned it to him. Naruto was glad for his friendship with Tsunade for this, since her anger was likely helping him out here to get a fair shake. However, a couple copies of the next book in the series of Icha Icha books were taken for 'further' review by the guards and the customs forces.
'Likely looking for a free copy of the book so they can read it before all of their friends. Even when there are going to be a shipment of them arriving in stores within a week or two, Icha Icha fans will try anything to get their hands on the books. Certainly something I have been using to get advantage of perverts of their types for years. Including some modifications to my village known Sexy jutsu, which I would love to pull out on a few people.' Naruto was thinking of this skill as well as the fact of his creation of the orb around the village which would allow people to accept the feelings of his friends for him.
Even Jiraiya, who would be most understanding, was under the power of the orb. Not that it was needed, but Naruto decided not to go to the work to make an exception for him. Just a single exception for Naruto himself as he wanted to avoid to many changes to himself, even if he was designing some... improvements which were yet to be placed in effect. He was just looking for ways to improve without making himself feel like he was going to cheat by using it. Even if it was a ninja unwritten rule to take any advantage they could get against a foe.
