I was woken by my alarm going off, I got up stretched, yawned then headed into the shower, I use my mint shampoo and condition as normal, I used my citrus body wash to was myself, I then got out dried myself off, then headed back into the bedroom wrapped in my towel. I brushed through my hair and let it fall however it wanted, I then got dressed in my normal baggy jeans, black trainers, I pulled on a brown tank top and a my dark blue denim jacket.
I grabbed my list from the bedside table and headed off, I wasn't normally so organized but I need to get things sorted. I headed into the town and bought a ordered a new dog bed to be delivers and bought some food supplies, after a while a gave up looking for a second hand furniture shop to sell the bed to and decided to do an advert for it later, I took home the food and put it away in the kitchen.
"well finally the boring bit is over let's go find Iruka" I smiled at Anya who barked. I headed over to the academy with Anya at my heels. When I got there I spotted Iruka seeing off all the students, a few of them stared as I walked up to their sensei. Iruka is a man of average height and build. He has brown hair that he keeps in a ponytail, dark eyes and a scar that runs across the bridge of his nose, which he has had since his youth.
"UNCLE IRUKA!" I yelled tackling him in a hug, his students looked shocked, making me chuckle.
"Hey Mich what you doing here?" Iruka beamed.
"I moved in yesterday, I would have come see you then but by the time I'd finished talking with Aunt Tsunade and then Uncle Kakashi wanted to chat so it ended up being so late I didn't want to disturb you" I smiled
"So you still think of me as an uncle then?" Iruka chuckled a little surprised.
"Of course, Oh I finished my training with the toads and Kakashi made good on his promise meet my new ninken companion Anya" I replied cheerfully.
"She lovely, So you finished your training already that's amazing, so what you doing now then?" he asked happily
"I'm thinking of going into writing like dad but I've offered my services to help out with missions, If you ever need an extra pair of hands let me know okay uncle Iruka" I offered
"I'll keep that in mind, why don't I treat you to some lunch, I was going to treat Naruto some Ramen, see how he's doing i'm sure he'd be more than happy to meet you" Iruka chuckled
"Sure, sounds great, I still haven't met him yet" I nodded and walked with him. Naruto a boy with spiky blonde hair was overly excited at being treated to Ramen. As we ate he chatted cheerfully with Iruka and bombarded me with questions and told me he would be Hokage, then some one called him away and he rushed off.
Me and Iruka laughed at the energetic boy, after talking a while longer I then trained a while with Anya which Kakashi insisted in helping me with. As I wandered around the village I noticed a girl with dark blue hair and fair skin sat on her own, so I headed over.
"Hey, where are your team mates?" I asked curiously.
"Oh well I got injured on the last mission and have been hospital, they got called on a mission, I just got out and they're not back yet" The girl said seeming a little shy.
"Well I'm Michiko but some call me Mich or Michi" I smiled
"I'm Hinata Hyuga" The girl told me.
"Well do you need some one to train with?" I asked
"You wouldn't mind?" Hinata muttered
"I wouldn't have offered if I minded, besides I've just finished my senjutsu training with the toads so I'm sure if your struggling with anything" I chuckled.
"Thanks" Hinata beamed and jumped up we headed to hers and started sparing, she wasn't bad.
"You have quite a bit of potential" I smiled as we sat to take a break.
"Who is this Hinata?" A man asked he looked like her dad.
"Oh father this is Michiko she offered to help me train" Hinata explained Yep it was her dad .
"Hello sir it's a pleasure to meet you sir" I said with a small bow.
"Tell me, Michiko what level are you?" Hinata's dad asked
"Well I've recently completed my senjutsu training with the toads in Mount Myoboku, like my dad" I replied. "But I think it's best to asked Tsunade or Kakashi about that as they will probably be able to tell you about my skills better than I can, after all I can be accused of being over confident at times.
"I might just talk to Lady Tsunade" He nodded emphasizing the word lady.
"Ah I realize that my informality while speaking about the lady Hokage may have given of a bad impression, but I have known her my whole life she's like an aunt to me and I often refer to her as Aunt Tsunade, I'm sorry if I came off as disrespectful at all sir" I added, he nodded and walked off. "I don't think I made a good impression"
"Don't worry dads normally like that with new people" Hinata muttered I smiled and trained with her for a while longer before heading home.
Once I got home I started think of what genre book to write but I could only think of things like what dad wrote but more aimed to the female population. I sighed, this was going to be harder than I thought. As I sat thinking I let my mind wander, after a while I gave up trying to think of things but instead just got on with other things around the house.
The next day, Hinata's dad approached me, I wondered what he wanted, he asked me if I wanted some tea at the Hyuga place as he wanted to talk to me. I was a little cautious but my curiosity got the better of me, I followed him to the Hyuga house, he lead me to a porch area and asked me to make myself comfortable, he then went inside.
I sat on the edge of the porch that opened the house onto a training area, after a minute or so Hinata's dad turned up with some cup and a tea pot full of hot fresh tea he poured me some before pouring some for himself. I took a sip waiting for him to talk but he didn't and began drinking his own tea.
"I don't mean to seem impatient sir, but I am curious as to why you wanted to speak to me?" I said breaking the silence
"Ah yes sorry, I spoke to the Hokage and Kakashi about your abilities as a ninja, Iruka also seem to have an input as well, all of them speak highly of your skills and all seem quite proud of how quick you have been to progress, so I asked them about something that I feel may benefit my eldest daughter Hinata greatly" Hinata's dad started.
"Now my interest in this conversation has increased, please go on" I replied taking another sip of tea.
"I was wondering if you would take Hinata on as an apprentice of sorts, My eldest daughter has always been slow at developing and perfecting her Ninja skills, she also has very low confidence and is quite shy, I was hoping that maybe you could help her by training and guiding her, when I mentioned this to Lady Tsunade, Kakashi and Iruka they also believe that Hinata will benefit from your guidance, I'm more than willing to pay you for these services" He told me.
"Don't be ridiculous, I like Hinata she's a lovely girl, I'm more than happy to help, I fell she will be a great friend, I don't need paying for helping a friend out" I snapped
"So your saying you'll help her but expect nothing in return?" He questioned.
"Of course" I beamed. I finished my tea "we'll start tomorrow, she should be at mine for six in the morning so make sure she gets an early night. Just so you know before I can help I need to see what she's like get to know her so it may take a while until we even start to make any progress"
He nodded and I headed off to talk to Tsunade, after telling her about taking Hinata, I also spoke with Kakashi and Iruka. I then trained until it got dark got home and set my alarm for five in the morning and went to bed.
