It was about 8 p.m. and Naruto was walking home from Ichiraku Ramen, the blond haired boy was happy and full. He was almost to his apartment when he heard an explosion, "what was that" he said getting worried. When he turned the corner he was crushed almost instantly, for what he saw was his home in many different pieces.
Naruto scrambled to find who did this deed but alas hindered to find anyone. About 15 minutes later the anbu black ops showed up and Naruto explained everything, they in turn relayed this information to Tsunade and she said "we will find whoever did this Naruto" which didn't help him much because even IF they found the culprit it wouldn't change the fact that he was now homeless. "Who would do something like this, do the villagers hate me that much, or was it the akatsuki after him again?" These are some of the many questions that Naruto wondered about while he travelled aimlessly throughout Konaha.
Naruto would usually try to survive on his own but he lost everything in his apartment except for the clothes on his back and a little money in his frog wallet, so he went around asking his classmates if maybe he could stay with them even for just one night, most of them said they didn't have enough room while some of his friends' parents answered the door and looked at him with utter disgust. So after trying for hours he gave up and went to go sit on a bench near a street light, knowing that he would most likely sleep there he began to sulk, he had his head in between his legs until he heard someone say his name "Naruto?" He looked up to find Ino Yamanaka, a blonde Kunoichi who worked at the flower shop.
"What are you doing out here Naruto?" She asked with worry in her eye, "Someone blew up my apartment and no one would take me in." He said dryly. "Well maybe you just didn't ask the right gal" she said and began to smile. Naruto's eyes widened "Does that mean..." "Yup, you can stay with me." She could've sworn Naruto was about to jump up but he held in his excitement making Ino smile a bit. They began to walk to Ino's home when Naruto asks "so what were you doing out this late anyway?" "I was just admiring the flowers around our village and lost track of time, I started heading home and saw you on a bench looking sad so I had to see what was bothering you." She replied simply. "Not to be a nuisance but, where will I sleep?" "Well I would say you could sleep on the couch but it was recently broken, so if you're ok with it I can let you sleep on the futon, it's in my room so I hope you don't mind." Naruto had a slight blush at that but wasn't going to complain. "How did the couch get broken?" asked a confused Naruto. "After my dad comes home from a mission he just falls on the couch with all of his weight and goes to sleep, so after about a year of this the couch finally fell with him, so yeah." The two walked in silence until they reached the home of Ino, before she turned the nob to go inside she just realized something, how am I going to explain this to my dad. I come home late with a boy and say he's going to live with us for a while and he's sleeping in my room. Ino looked at Naruto and thought "what's the worst that could happen"
