Itachi merely looked up from his work as a woman stomped over to his desk, red-faced and soaked with some sort of blue liquid. Her hair, which was normally red, was a bleached blonde. She pushed up her glasses and glared at him.

"I cannot take this any longer, Uchiha-san! Your son has tried to kill me on several occasions and he has been pranking me non-stop! I quit!"

Itachi sighed and took off his glasses.

"Uzumaki-san..."

Karin cut him off with a wave of her hand, turned on her heel, and stormed out. A few seconds later, a small boy peeked in.

"Papa... Karin-nee's gone." he chirped.

"And whose fault would that be, Sasuke-kun?"

Sasuke came into the home office and took a seat in front of his father's desk with a pout. He looked up at Itachi.

"So what if it's m'fault? I didn' like 'er! She, She didn' wanna play superheros, ninja, or pillow forts wi'me! She jus' call'd me 'cute' and spent 'er time lookin' at you! She stopp'd callin me cute when I put blue dye on 'er though. She got super mad too when I put the bleach in 'er shampoo."

Itachi massaged his temples and sighed as second time. Uzumaki Karin was the 99th nanny he had hired to take care of his son, and so far, Sasuke hated every single one of them and drove them off all sorts of different ways. That did include shaving their heads while they slept, hiding their clothes all over the house, and dumping the clothes he didn't hide in an orange-dyed jacuzzi.

Itachi pulled out his phone and texted his butler.

Naruto-kun, I know you're out with a friend, but afterwards, I need you to look for another nanny. Uzumaki Karin quit.

"You already finished your residency? But you're like, twenty-six years old, Sakura-chan!" Naruto whined.

"Twenty-seven." Sakura corrected with a smile, "And I got my M.D. when I was twenty-three, remember? Tsunade-sama offered me the job right after I got it and I worked at Konoha Hospital. You should know this, Naruto. You were there."

"Eh?! I was?!"

Sakura laughed. The two of them had been best friends ever since they learned to walk and had been almost inseparable up until high school. Naruto had decided to take the standard four years of college and moved to Konohagakure, which was 2-3 day drive from Sunagakure.

With Sakura busy with med-school and Naruto with his studies, they barely had time for each other. Within the timespan of a decade, they've really only been able to skype, text and talk over the phone with short visits to each other on special occasions. In those years, Naruto got his bachelor's degree and started working under one Uchiha Itachi. And once Sakura got her M.D, she herself moved to Konohagakure.

Right after Teuchi served them their ramen, Naruto's back pocket buzzed. He pulled out his phone and frowned as he read the screen. Sakura looked at him.

"What's up?" she asked, taking a bite of pork.

"The boss just texted me. Seems that Sasuke drove another nanny out." he sighed, "Dammit, and she was the 99th one too. Gahh, I'm sooo tired of looking for more nannies for the brat, dattebayo!"

Sakura looked down at her ramen bowl with furrowed eyebrows for a few seconds before turning to her distraught friend.

"Well... I guess I can do it? I'm taking a break from medicine for who knows how long and I'm looking for a job. He can't be that-"

"THANK YOU, SAKURA-CHAN!" Naruto gushed, wrapping his arms around her, "Right after we eat, I'll take you to the house! Don't even worry about it, he's almost entirely likeable!"

"... What do you mean, 'almost entirely'?"
