(CHAPTER 41 PART II)

“Kakashi? What are you doing here?” Ibiki said as Kakashi dropped the three shinobi he had been carrying. “Iwa shinobi? Are those the ones that have been spotted here?” “Yes, one of Naruto’s students said they were after him.” “Oh... did they pass?” The Hatake shrugged his shoulders, “I’m sure you can handle them.” “Yes, would you help me to bring them to their cell?” “Ah… uhm well I still have some files that has to be filled in so I’m sorry, bye,” Kakashi said and was gone. Ibiki sighed.

---------------

Naruto knocked on the door of the Hokage office. His three students were nervously standing behind him, they had never been here. “Come in,” came from the other side. Naruto opened the door and entered, the three stayed in the hallway, too scared to move.
“Ah, Naruto! And?”

“You lost,” Naruto grinned. Tsunade gaped at him as the blonde told the three kids to enter. They were confused why Naruto had said she lost. “Wh-what?!” Naruto could only laugh while Shizune was sweat dropping. “You just made them pass so I would loose didn’t you brat.” “No, they passed because they are worth to pass,” Naruto said with a serious face, “I don’t just pass someone.” “Now I lost a bet again! It’s your fault, Naruto!” Tsunade said as she slammed her hands on the desk.
Amaya, Minoru and Kojirou were shaking in fear, wanting to get away from this place as fast as possible. “Ano… Naruto-kun, tomorrow you can start with missions, but it might be a wise idea to leave…” Shizune said looking at Tsunade every now and then.
“Hehe, yeah, you might be right,” Naruto grinned. He turned around and signed the kids to leave. They didn’t need to think twice for that and rushed to the door.
“Bye baa-chan!” Naruto grinned and closed the door behind him. “Eh?! You call Hokage-sama baa-chan?!” his three students said.

“NA-RU-TO!” came from the other side of the door.

There was a loud crash and when the three kids looked around they saw a chair, or what it used to be, against the wall, while the door was having the shape of the chair in it. Naruto chuckled and pushed his students forward, who were too stunned to walk without help.

Once outside they dared to speak again. “Wh-what was that all about?” Minoru asked, still in shock. “Well like I told you kids I had three previous teams and none of them passed. People started to think I was living up to my teacher Kakashi who hadn’t passed a lot of teams until me and my team-mates. So this time, just like last time, a lot started to bet about if I would pass you kids or not.”
“You let us pass so you would win something?” Kojirou asked in a growl. “I didn’t bet, it’s a stupid thing to do and you’re supposed to have faith in the new ge-nin. You kids passed because you deserved it,” Naruto said as he looked at the three. “But… we’re the worst of our year,” Amaya said embarrassed as looked down. Naruto shrugged his shoulders, “So was I, but that didn’t stop me from keep going on. Next to that, Amaya…” Naruto kneeled down and made her look up as he smiled at her, “My girlfriend once told me that having the guts to keep on going even after failing makes one a proud failure. She wasn’t my girlfriend at that time though, but I never forgot it. So don’t worry, you’ll get better, heck your journey has only begun.”
“Is that really true?” Minoru asked as he looked at Naruto. “Of course it is and if you don’t believe I was the dead last of the class you should go ask Iruka,” the blonde grinned somewhat ashamed as he scratched the back of his head. “Well let’s go, I want Iruka-sensei to confirm that,” Kojirou grinned somewhat evilly. “Ah by the way, he did take part in the bet,” Naruto mentioned as they walked the academy. “What did Iruka-sensei bet?” Amaya asked looking up. “Just like always he bet the team would pass, he always has faith in his students,” Naruto smiled, thinking about his old teacher who had been the only one to accept him.

At the academy they found Iruka checking homework. He looked up surprised when three of his old students entered. “Kojirou, Amaya, Minoru?” he said surprised. ‘They didn’t pass…?’

“They passed,” Naruto said as he was leaning against the wall with folded arms. Iruka looked at the other side of the room and smiled at the blonde who smiled back. “They’re here to check if I really was that much of a dead last in class.” Iruka chuckled, while Naruto cheeks were covered with an ashamed blush.
“Well, I’ll show you his report card.” “Wh-what, you still have that?” Naruto freaked a little as he looked at Iruka. “Of course I have,” Iruka laughed as he searched in the documents, “Ah here it is. Take a look at that you three.” “Ninjutsu F, Cooperation F, Taijutsu B, Positivity A, Genjutsu F, Classroom attitude F,” Amaya summed up. Naruto looked away in horror. Kojirou started to laugh. “Oi you are one to laugh, Kojirou, I saw your report card at it wasn’t much better,” Naruto said, “As a matter of fact your Positivity was a F and your Taijutsu a C.” “Wh-what? You saw that?” “Of course, Kojirou,” Iruka said as he placed the old report card back on its place, “When you’re assigned to jo-nin teacher they will get your report card.”

Naruto pushed himself away from the wall. “In any case, Iruka you gotta pay for dinner tonight,” Naruto grinned whilst looking halfway down. “True,” the teacher smiled. “Eh? Sensei why?” Minoru asked confused. “If Naruto would pass the team he was assigned to I promised I would pay for his and his team’s dinner.” “You mean we’re going out and eat together tonight?” Amaya asked smiling. “Yes, that’s indeed how it is,” Naruto smiled. “Let’s go then!” the girl exclaimed and already ran out of the door. Naruto watched her going in surprise.

Soon the five were sitting at Ichiraku ramen enjoying their ramen.

“Naluto-nii-san!” a voice said cheerfully and someone jumped on Naruto’s back. Naruto turned around, still having ramen in his mouth. “Takashi? Shouldn’t you be with Hinata-chan?” “We’re playing hide and seek, I’m hiding!” The boy crawled over Naruto’s shoulders and sat down on Naruto’s lap. “Teuchi-san can I have a miso ramen please?” he smiled. Naruto sighed, though smiling, and nodded to Teuchi that it was okay. Iruka chuckled as he continued eating while the Minoru, Amaya and Kojirou gave the kid confused glances.

Takashi didn’t have to wait long and soon he was stuffing in ramen as well as the other five there. While Naruto started on his fifth, his students were looking staggered at him, he noticed someone was coming. “Chicken, Hinata-chan is coming.” “EH?” Takashi quickly hid himself by slipping of Naruto’s lap and looked around the nineteen year old’s legs.

“Naruto-kun, have you seen Takashi-chan?” Hinata asked as she walked up to her boyfriend. He was eating ramen, again. Naruto turned around with a smile. “Nope, sorry.” “Oh, that’s too bad, his mother just returned.”
“Mom is back?!” the boy exclaimed while coming out of his hiding place. He ran up to Hinata jumping eagerly. “Where? Where? Where’s mommy?” Hinata kneeled down and laid a hand on the boy’s head. “Found you,” the Hyuga said smiling. Takashi’s smile faltered, while Naruto was having a good laugh. He stood up, leaving his ramen. “Sorry Takashi, Hinata-chan tricked you.” “Whaaa, not fair!” Naruto still chuckled and grasped Hinata’s hand. He pulled her into a kiss.

Amaya, Minoru and Kojirou were looking at their sensei. Teuchi chuckled. “Naruto never leaves his ramen except for Hinata.” “Hm-m,” Iruka smiled. “So that’s his girlfriend,” Amaya said as she looked at Iruka. “She is,” the teacher confirmed looking at the couple as well. “O-kay….normally I hate to watch such a thing… especially when nee-san or my parents do that, but I’m not really bothered by this,” Minoru muttered.
“It looks kinda cute…” Amaya whispered. “That’s what I hear quite a lot when people see them together,” Teuchi chuckled. “But who’s this kid?” Kojirou asked as he tried to get his ramen away from Takashi. “I’m Haruno Takashi,” Takashi smiled and decided to go for Naruto’s ramen.
Naruto walked back while holding Hinata’s hand and saw the kid eating his ramen. “O-oi!” Takashi turned around, laughed, jumped of the stool and started running. “Come here you little chicken! That was my ramen!” Naruto said as he ran after the boy.” Kojirou laughed at the scene as Hinata and Iruka sweat dropped and Amaya and Minoru were just staring.

Soon Naruto had caught Takashi and gave him a tickle attack. “No more eating my ramen you.” “But it would have gone cold if I didn’t eat it,” the three year old laughed. “Fine fine,” Naruto sighed, knowing the kid was right, so he placed Takashi on his feet again.

“Takashi-kun!”

Takashi looked around Naruto. “Mommy!” he exclaimed happily and dashed over to her. Sakura caught her son when he jumped in her arms. Naruto smiled at it as Sakura caught up with him. “Thanks for your help Naruto,” Sakura smiled at him. “You should thank Hinata, she took care of him today, I had a job today,” the blonde said as he looked at his girlfriend. “It was no problem at all, Sakura-chan, don’t worry about it,” Hinata smiled at the pink haired.
“Oh, let me introduce you to my team.” “What? You finally passed one?” Sakura asked surprised. Naruto grinned, “Yup.” “I almost was afraid you would be like Kakashi-sensei, Naruto-kun,” Hinata said. The blonde scratched his cheek whilst smiling.
The three kids came from their stool and walked over to Naruto. “These are Minoru, Amaya and Kojirou.” “Nice meeting you,” Sakura smiled, “I’m Sakura, Naruto’s team-mate and this here is my son, Takashi.” “I’m Hinata, Naruto-kun’s girlfriend.” “Hajime-mashte, dôzo yoroshiku (nice meeting you),” the three said.

“Naruto, I’m going home, I already paid,” Iruka said. “Hai, arigato, Iruka,” Naruto smiled at him. “Good luck you three,” Iruka said to his ex-students, they nodded as reply.
“I better go report Hokaga-sama.” “You didn’t yet?” Hinata asked. “No, I thought picking up Takashi first would be a good idea.”
“Ah, let me know if the door is already fixed,” Naruto grinned. “Huh, why?” “Hokage-sama threw a chair through the door,” Kojirou answered as he shivered somewhat. Sakura and Hinata gave a stern look to Naruto. “I-it wasn’t my fault. S-she just lost a bet,” Naruto panicked a little. “And he called her baa-chan,” Kojirou continued with an evil grin, liking to see his teacher in trouble. “Naruto-kun, you know she doesn’t like that.” “Ow, come on Hinata-chan, I’ve always called her that,” Naruto whined.
“No ramen for the rest of the week.” “EH?! What? You’re kidding right?!” “I am not,” Hinata said as she walked over to Teuchi. “Hinata-chan!” Naruto whined. “Teuchi-san will you please not give him ramen this week?” “As you wish, Hinata,” Teuchi said smiling. “Ow, why such a mean punishment? Why not just one ramen a day? That is already really mean.” “No, no ramen at all for an entire week.”

Sakura sweat dropped as she looked at the three young ge-nin. “You three better go home, your parents are probably getting worried.” They nodded. “Ano… when do we start with missions?” Amaya asked. “I will tell Naruto he has to meet up with you three at the main bridge at ten AM tomorrow, okay.” “Alright, arigato,” Amaya said, “Bye Minoru, Kojirou.” The girl ran away. Minoru and Kojirou left as well.
“No, Naruto,” Hinata said once again. The blonde let his head hung in disappointment since she also didn’t add the ‘kun’ to his name. Sakura told the blonde he had to meet up with his team at the main bridge at ten AM and then left.

---------------

Amaya stopped at the front door of her house. She sighed and opened then it. “O-kaa-san, I’m home!” She got her ninja’s shoes off and walked down the hallway as two of her younger brothers were chasing after each other. She entered the living room and saw her mother trying to calm down Amaya’s one year old sister who was crying.
“Finally there you are. Go make a quick dinner, while I take your little sister to bed. Hana, Kaori, play nice!” The woman left the room. “And don’t forget to bring your father his dinner!” “HAI!”
Letting out another sigh she first made sure her four year old and five year old sisters stopped fighting about the colouring pencils by promising them pancakes. When the word ‘pancake’ fell her two brothers raced into the living room. “Are we eating pancakes?” they asked in unison. They were seven and nine. Amaya smiled at them and told them to first clean up the mess or else they wouldn’t be able to eat. All together the four cleaned up all the toys as Amaya started with the pancakes.
Twenty minutes later they were enjoying their pancakes as their mother came inside with a worn out expression. She laid a hand on Amaya’s head. “Thanks, you can always calm them down. I’m going to bed, it’s been really busy at work, I can barely keep standing right now. Will you bring them to bed?” “Hai,” Amaya replied. “Did you bring your father his dinner yet?” “No, I will bring it to him in a moment,” Amaya said as she gave Kaori a new pancake. Her mother nodded and left.

When dinner was finished Amaya washed Hana’s and Kaori’s face and brought them to bed. They however didn’t like that and started running around. Sighing the young ge-nin went after her two sisters and caught them. “If you don’t go to bed now, you will both sleep outside,” she said as she gave the two a stern look. Knowing their sister wasn’t messing around they gave in. “Masami, Nori, get in your pyjama’s,” she told her two little brothers. “But we don’t want to go to bed yet,” the youngest of the two whined. “Masami, just get changed, you don’t have to go to bed yet.”
Amaya brought her two sisters to bed and then went to prepare a dinner for her father. Just before she brought it to her father she brought Masami to bed. Nori would come after that.

Carrying the food on a tray she brought it to her father. “Father, your dinner is ready,” she said as she entered the dark room. Only a small lamp brought some light into the darkness. “You’re late Amaya.” “Gomenasai, o-to-san. I had to meet up with my sensei today. I passed the ge-nin test remember.” “Ah right. How did the test go?” Amaya placed the tray on the table. “You knew about the test?” “Of course… I used to be a shinobi.” The girl looked down with a sad face, she had forgotten about that. “I… I passed.” “I see… Amaya, remember what I told you about a shinobi life.” “I… I remember father, but I think I…” “Just thinking won’t make you survive! I warn you before it’s too late, I don’t want to loose someone again.”

‘If you really don’t want to loose anyone you shouldn’t lock yourself up, dad. You’re a stranger to all of us.’

“Hai,” the girl whispered and left the room. She walked back to the living room where she found Nori playing with some toys. He looked up as she entered and followed her with his gaze as she let herself fall down on the couch.
With eyes closed she remained silent. “Nee-san?” “Hm?” When no reply came the girl opened her eyes and looked at the worried look of her brother. “Why were you late, nee-san?” “Nori, you shouldn’t worry about me.” “But…” “I’m a ge-nin now. I had to meet my sensei.” “Why? Why do you want to be a ge-nin while Riko-nee-san and Shin-nii-san died because of being a ninja,” he started crying. “STOP CRYING!” Amaya snapped. Nori was shocked, and Amaya was shocked by it herself.
“Nori, please understand. I… just have to. If I want to protect all of you and prove to father being a ninja isn’t a bad thing… I… just have to.” “But…” “By the way, you’re getting ten tomorrow, so I think it’s time I teach you a few things.” “Wh-what do you mean?” Amaya grabbed her brother by his wrist and pulled him on the couch. “You’re old enough to take care of your brother and sisters now.” “But… what are you gonna do?” “I have a mission tomorrow.” “EH?! No, don’t go. Don’t go on a mission,” the kid panicked. “Nori, don’t freak like that, I just became ge-nin, they’re not going to send me on a dangerous mission. Now listen to me. Tomorrow you will be in charge, alright?” With his hazel coloured eyes he looked at his sister. “And I still need to buy a present for you, little brother.” “A… a present? But we don’t have a lot of money.” “Don’t worry, I have saved some money. I want to give my little brother a present when he gets ten.” Nori smiled as Amaya ruffled his hair. “Now to bed you, I’m going too.” “Okay. Oyasumi, nee-san.” “Oyasumi, o-to-to.”

---------------

Kiba entered his bedroom and let himself fall on his bed. Akamaru pressed his wet nose against the Inuzuka’s cheek. “Not now, Akamaru,” Kiba said as he pushed the dog away. The dog lay down and sighed. After some time the door opened. “Kiba, is everything alright?” “Just leave me alone, nee-san.” The young woman sighed, “Sheesh I cannot kiss my boyfriend or you go down the road of sulking. Spill it, what is wrong?” Akamaru barked a few times. “Oh? Mitsuki still hasn’t sent a letter to you?” Kiba turned around not answering. “So it is… O-to-to, she might just have moved on. Not seeing your boyfriend for three years makes one forget about it.” “Don’t say that!” Kiba snapped, “She… she wouldn’t do that. That’s not how Mitsuki-chan is.” Hana sighed. “Come Akamaru, let’s leave mister sulk alone. I’ll give you a brush, your fur looks like you haven’t had one in a while.” Akamaru barked a yes and left his best friend alone.

Kiba rolled himself up, trying to make himself smaller as tears rolled over his cheeks. “She wouldn’t…r-right…?” he started sobbing. After a while he sat up and shoved to the side of his bed as his hand reached underneath it. He got a box and placed it on the bed as he sat down. Opening the box he got a letter out and started reading.

Hey Kiba-kun,

I hope you’re alright. I wish I could come back, but there is still so much I need to figure out. I will tell everything when I’m back because this letter would probably be ten pages long if I do now and then the message bird won’t be able to carry it. I can tell you a little though. The key Ryudo gave to me when we all went to my home town happens to be the key of my mother’s dairy. However I needed more than just the key since it wouldn’t open. I was sulking about that pretty bad and tried to think of how to open it until Nodoko (you met her too, the girl who hugs everyone) said “Why there wasn’t some jutsu that would open a lock.” As I told in my last letter she joined me and Rakuna on our travel. Anyway, when she said that I remembered something my mother taught me the day before she died. She let me place my hands in the ram sign and close my eyes and told me it would open a lock. When I had asked her what lock she had shrugged her shoulders. So I thought it was the lock of the dairy she had been talking about and tried it out.
It worked! I was really glad about that. But when I saw my mom’s last name I was kinda shocked. I will tell you about that later, since I want to tell someone else first. He deserves to know first.
I miss you a lot and I hope I can return soon. Please take care of yourself and Akamaru and say hi to Hinata and Naruto for me. I hope they are doing okay.

Lots of kisses
Tsuwata Mitsuki


Kiba smiled as he rubbed some tears and got the next letter.

Heya sweetie,

I’m really sorry for not writing you earlier. I got a little caught up in my mother’s diary. Next to that Nodoka, Rakuna and I met this spiritual woman who taught me some really cool jutsu. I barely had time to eat; that old woman knows how to train you until you’re worn out!
I hope you’re not mad about it and weren’t too worried about me.
Also we came by this town where people lived who summon wolves. Pretty cool, but we were, especially me, stunned when one wolf seemed to recognize Rakuna! The wolf was called Ratjok and was pretty old. He only asked how Rakuna was doing in the human world. Rakuna was in shock, having one of those memory flashes again. I have no idea what exactly happened but I think she used to be one of the animals you can summon. It’s explains a lot, especially her age. She used to be the wolf of my mom’s friend after all, which was quite a lot of years ago. Next to that she can talk, no normal wolf can talk.
When I tried to talk to Ratjok, he didn’t want to speak. Stubborn idiotic old wolf he was. His hence man couldn’t bring him to talk either so I guess we have to wait until Rakuna remembers more. I hope she will be alright; I’m really worried about her.
Again I say I’m sorry, please be okay.

Hugs and kisses
Tsuwata Mitsuki


Dropping back on his bed he stared at the ceiling. “Please be alright Mitsuki-chan,” he whispered into the silence.

---------------

Minoru finally came home after an hour of wandering around on the streets. He opened the door. “I’m home,” he said in normal tone and took his shoes of. On naked feet he walked to the living room, though there was no-one there so he went to his father’s office where he found both his parents.
“Minoru, you missed dinner, again,” his mother said. “Sorry mom.” The woman stood up but was stopped by the man. “No, let him starve, that will teach him for coming late every time.” “But Kuro…” “No buts, it’s over with being nice to him. He slacks of too much, that’s why he’s the dead last of the class.” The woman sat down again, “You heard your father sweetie, you really should try harder.”

‘They just assume I didn’t pass… don’t they?’

Kuro stood up and walked over to the bookshelves to place something away. “I heard you were being tested by Uzumaki Naruto.” “H-hai,” Minoru muttered whilst looking down. “Hm… what I heard he has high expectations of his students… good teacher though; trained by the famous Hatake Kakashi and Jiraiya, one of the legendary sannin. Too bad.” Minoru looked up. “What’s too bad?” “Oh come on, you know it yourself. Do you really think a teacher like him would pass someone like you?”
Shocked the boy looked at his father, he then turned his face away and left.

“Kuro, you could be a little nicer to Minoru-kun, he tries very hard.” “I know that… he just…” Kuro sighed and sat down in his chair again.

Minoru closed his door and leaned against it as he stared at his feet. “Stupid…” he muttered. After a while he walked over to the window of his room and opened it. In the garden he saw his five years older sister train; it looked more like dancing the way she moved. Minoru smiled. Even though his father would always say ‘be more like your sister’ he cannot hate her. She was the only one who liked him the way he was.
“Manami-nee-san,” he called out to her. Immediately the girl stopped her practise and looked at her little brother. “Minoru, you’re back,” she smiled and with nice jump she was near his window. She climbed on the window sill and looked at him. “And…? How did it go? Tell me.”
“I… I passed.” Not a second after saying that he got hugged by his sister. “That’s wonderful news. Did you tell mother and father yet?” With a sad face he looked away. “They believe I didn’t pass because Uzumaki Naruto is my sensei.”
The girl stared at him. “You… you have him as teacher?” Minoru nodded as his sister jumped of the window sill. “Oh my… I heard he didn’t pass three teams in row and that he was living up to his own teacher who didn’t pass a lot of new ge-nin.” The two sat down on the side of the bed. “Sensei said we were an interesting bunch of kids.” “How so?” “Well what I could understand from it is because we worked together from the start, didn’t ditch our team-mates and… At the end he asked us who would go back to the academy if we had managed to get the bells and we said we would decide with a game of rock-paper-scissors.” His sister started to laugh and Minoru grinned a little. “Iruka-sensei treated us on ramen afterwards. That was nice.” His sister ruffled through his blue hair. “But Hokage-sama is scary, she threw a chair through the door after Naruto-sensei called her baa-chan… oh and she was pissed off because she lost a bet.” “Yeah, Hokage-sama can be a little dangerous at some points,” the girl grinned and then turned her face to the door.

The door opened. “Manami-chan, leave your brother alone. He needs to think about his actions,” Kuro said with a stern look. “Father, Minoru-kun passed,” the girl said and smiled at her brother.
To say the man was surprised would be an understatement. “Is that true, Minoru?” “H-hai…” The man stared at his son for a while and then turned around. “Well then, show you’re worthy the name of a ge-nin, Minoru,” he said and then left.
“Why is father like that? I really try to do better but…” “Don’t worry about it Minoru. He wants you to be as good as he was when he was your age.” “Can’t he just see me for me?” The blue haired looked at his sister. “He will… in the end he will. Well little brother, you better go to bed.” “Huh… I don’t have to meet up with everyone until ten in the morning.” “First days are really hard, believe me. Get a good sleep and a healthy breakfast in the morning tomorrow.”

Manami stood up and walked to the door. “Oyasumi, little bro.” “Oyasumi,” Minoru said back, “Ano… nee-san?” “Hm?” With a questioned look the girl looked over her shoulder. “Arigato.” Manami smiled and left.

Naruto pushed Hinata against the wall of the Hyuga residence. She looked at him with a blush as his lips met hers and whilst kissing the blonde wrapped his arms around the girl.
“You’re mean,” he whispered when they stopped. She giggled. “And the worst part is I forgot I had to buy new ramen this morning.” “Oh, don’t be like that. Eating other things is good for you.” “But I don’t like vegetables,” the blonde pouted, “Can’t I really have at least one ramen a day?” “No,” she replied with a smile and kissed him on his cheek.
The blonde sighed. “Why?” “First show me that you can be more polite.” “Moh, you know I can do that, I just… Hinata-chan, you know my reasons for not doing so.” “But Tsunade is someone completely different, or am I wrong?” “No… you’re right, but…” the blonde muttered as his girlfriend wrapped her arms around her. “Naruto-kun,” Hinata whispered. Looking down he sighed. “Alright, I’ll do my best…,” he muttered. She smiled and kissed him again.

Some coughing stopped the two and looked around. “Neji-nii-san,” Hinata said surprised. “Are you two going to stand like that all day, or are you going to enter.” “Hm… I like standing here with Hinata-chan,” Naruto grinned which made Neji sigh.
“Naruto are you staying over for tea?” “Ano… I don’t think so… I mean I stayed over last night. I don’t want to be a bother or anything.” “Naruto-kun, you aren’t a bother, besides father doesn’t mind when you’re staying over,” Hinata said and guided him inside, following Neji.
“Hinata-chan, I cannot. I need to read Minoru’s, Kojirou’s and Amaya’s documents better,” the blonde said as he was dragged by his girlfriend. “Reading documents, Naruto? How so?” “Hiashi-sama,” Naruto said surprised by the sudden appearance of the Hyuga leader, “Ano… hai. They passed their test and will be my squad for the upcoming years.” Neji looked at the blonde. “You finally passed a team?” “Yes,” Naruto answered as he took his shoes of. ‘Now I’m still inside…sigh.’
“Why don’t you tell us more about that during tea?” “I cannot stay long though.” “That’s alright,” Hiashi said as the group walked over the tea room. Homare came inside with the tea. “Konban wa, Homare-san,” Naruto smiled at her. “Ano, father, where is Hanabi-i-moto-chan?” “Hm, good question.” “She’s in her room, in a bad mood,” Homare answered as she poured the tea. Naruto chuckled, “I bet she had another fight with Konohamaru.” Hiashi sighed as he stood up to get his daughter.

When he came back with her, Hanabi indeed was grumpy. “I’m not in the mood for tea,” she growled as she sat down. “Had another fight again, Hanabi-chan?” Naruto asked. “Humph.” “I think we have to take that as a yes,” Hinata chuckled and drank some of her tea. Hanabi gave her sister a death glare.
“So Naruto, tell us how the test went that you let the three pass.” Naruto looked up from his tea. “Did you bet as well, Hiashi-sama?” “No, I don’t bet.” “Ah, well it is an interesting group, that’s for sure. They’re all dead last that’s one thing.” “Hm, quite fitting then,” Neji mentioned as he took a nip of his tea. “Very funny, Tsunade did it on purpose so they’re change of passing would be close to zero, but she forgot it isn’t about being a dead last or not,” Naruto grinned.
Hinata gave him a sideway look. “Anyway, they worked together from the beginning and when I asked them who would leave if they had managed to get the bells they replied they would do a game of rock-paper-scissors,” the blonde laughed. Neji grimaced, having bad memories about that game.
“They passed because they said that?” Hanabi asked confused. “No, they passed because they work together as a team and don’t abandon their team-mates. Amaya seemed to do so, but they had come up with a back-up plan, which surprised me.”

As said the blonde didn’t stay too long and left went it was half past nine. He gave a peck on the cheek of his girlfriend. “Sleep well cute one,” he said with a small blush. Hinata smiled back but then got a somewhat worried face. “Be careful on your way home.” The blonde sighed, knowing why she was saying that.
Ever since he became a jo-nin several villagers had decided they had to get rid of the ‘Kyubi’ and started attacking him, especially when it was late and not a lot of people were on the streets.
“Hinata-chan, don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” She sighed, hoping he was right.

Naruto left and soon went for the roofs, it was safer at that spot. Using his nose he smelled the familiar rosemary. ‘They’re here again, those fools… wait the smell of fire?’ Not having the time of checking out where the fire was, since his ‘hunter’s’ were getting close, the blonde started rushing towards his house as he tried to avoid the scent of rosemary. ‘Masking their own scent with rosemary… in one way a good idea, but on the other hand it makes them very detectable.’

“They are smart enough to hide their identity, brat.”

‘Yeah, that way I cannot tell who they are and tell, ba… Tsunade…’

“….whahaha, you’re really going to stop calling her baa-san?” the Kyubi laughed.

‘If I want my ramen back…yes.’

He managed to get home without a fight this time and made sure he locked his door and had his windows closed. He got some cookies, the documents of his students and sat down. “They all pretty much suck at everything… how the hell did they manage to pass the exam…? Mere luck?” the blonde grinned and got a bit of his cracker. “Let’s see… I think after a D-mission or two I should go teach them about how to control their chakra… Genjutsu I cannot really help them with, hehe.”

After an hour he had memorized everything and cleaned up the mess before going to bed.
