Ayumi is going through puberty haha, and Naruto is obviously is at a loss about it

Disclaimer: You know the drill.

Naruto was at his wits end. Being Hokage was not easy, at all, he knew it would be hard when he took the job, but lately the work seemed to be piling on him. Sure he had only been Hokage for six years to date, Tsunade handing over the title to him just after he turned thirty, but he did not think it could get to be too much too quickly, he had actually been very good with his paperwork, making sure it was being done on time, attending meetings and the like. But then, he has had a lot on his mind over the past few months.

He had his darling daughter, Ayumi, to thank for that. She was currently at the ripe age of fifteen years old, and it seemed those golden years of her being the new "Number One Hyperactive, Knucklehead Ninja" of Konoha (inherited from her father, Naruto) were well and truly over.

She suddenly turned into your stereotypical teenager.

She defied her parents, and she had some crazy mood swings, for example, just the other day, Ayumi was sat having dinner with her fathers, Naruto and Sasuke, and they were enjoying light conversation, even earning a few laughs from Ayumi, it was when they got onto the subject of how her training was going that caused Ayumi to suddenly shout at her parents, telling them they needed to stop butting into her business all of the time, and she was training as hard as she could but they needed to stop pressuring her.

She just seemed so argumentative all of the time.

Naruto frowned as he sat back in his chair, his arms crossed over his chest, he could not find an explanation for her rash behaviour lately. He had spoken to Kiba about it, seeing as he had gone through the teenager stage with his children four times now (all girls might he add… Naruto really felt for him), and what he said was simple, when it comes to girls, stay out of their way. Those were his exact words, and living with five women, he has learnt a lot about the do's and don'ts. Naruto always felt so sorry for Kiba, he had four daughters one after the other, and he finally got the son he always wanted, but they were still highly outnumbered.

Maybe it was girl troubles, and Naruto knew that the one person his daughter could talk to about anything girl related would be her aunt, Hikari. Being born to two fathers, meant Hikari was the closest thing to a mother figure Ayumi had, and they really were close, but Hikari knew when to not over step the line of aunt, and practically taking over as an extra parent. Ayumi was Naruto and Sasuke's child, and she would never intrude further than was needed. At any rate, as Ayumi has gotten older, her relationship with Hikari is changing quite a bit; it was more a friendship than anything else.

A timid knock on his office door shook the blonde from his deep thoughts, he cleared his throat slightly, before saying, "Come in," he leant forward in his chair resting his hands on the desk in front of him. He kept his demeanour cool and collected, despite the fact he had not been expecting anyone that day.

The door opened slowly, and a head of deep red hair popped up from around the door, bright blue eyes searching. Naruto was surprised to say the least, Ayumi rarely visited him during his work hours anymore, she would usually come by around lunch time, and they would have ramen together, she had done this religiously since she was but a tiny toddler when Sasuke would bring her at her request (or should we say demand, she was very adamant about seeing her daddy), and eventually she would just arrive on her own. He had missed her presence over the few months that have passed.

Eventually she stepped into the office, standing before her father, she was wearing an emerald green kimono, that complimented her hair nicely, and her hair was tied high on her head, with her loose bangs falling around her face, resembling Sasuke's hair style greatly.

"Is everything ok, Mi-chan?" Naruto asked gently, he did not want provoke any unwanted outburst as he had been doing recently.

She nodded, and walked closer to her father's desk, "I just wanted to say… Tou-chan, I'm sorry for how I've been behaving lately, I know I haven't been myself… It's just been really weird… But I promise it's all under control now!" and just like that she was back to her normal self, she beamed brightly, her eyes crinkling at the edges, although Naruto was confused, but he guessed it most definitely had been 'girl troubles', and they were sorted out now, if her vague explanation was anything to go by. It was not exactly something she would say out loud to her father; it would be more than embarrassing for the both of them.

Naruto smiled back, "I'm glad to hear it!" he stood up from his spot in the chair, and walked around the desk to stand in front of his daughter, he patted her head lightly, "I take it you spoke to Hikari about whatever 'it' was?" she nodded, her smile never faltering.

"Mhm! Hika-chan really helped!" Naruto dropped his hand from her head, and suddenly Ayumi's smile dropped, and she bit her lip, her expression becoming one of worry, "Ano… Tou-chan?"

"What is it?"

She threw herself into his arms, throwing her own around his neck tightly, her face buried into his cloaked shoulder, "I really am sorry for being so horrible to you and tou-san! Please don't be angry with me! I don't hate you, I really don't!"

Naruto chuckled under his breath, his arms wrapping tightly around his, surprisingly small, daughter, "Oh, Mi-chan, we both understand, we were teenagers too once you know, we may not have gone through exactly what you're going through, but we do understand it is a very confusing time for you, and we could never be angry at you for that,"

She pulled back slightly, her wide azure eyes locking with her father's, "Really?"

"Of course!" his smile widened into face-splitting grin, "Now how about we get some ramen?"

Ayumi grinned back at him, and it was like looking in the mirror for Naruto, it was shocking really, how alike they were to each other, "Great!" she jumped down from his arms, "I'll race yah, we can call this my days training?" she shouted in glee, looking up at him hopefully.

He laughed heartily, "You're on!"

The two knuckleheads of Konoha sped through the village with the occasional cries of, "Excuse me!" or "Watch out! Gomen!"

Sasuke happened to be one of those villagers his family narrowly missed, he turned around as they zoomed off behind him, shaking his head slightly as he watched the two most important people in his life racing off toward Ichiraku's, a small smile on his face, he did not have a clue how it happened but it seemed his two favourite idiots were back to their normal selves.

"Dobe,"

He wouldn't have them any other way.
