"Why do we have to go back, I wanted to go to the water park again." Tsume asked clutching his father's arm. They were about to jump away into the forest when they stopped to tell their kids about the training. "Plus, we were all tired last time we jumped."
"Which means you'll be less tired this time. Fuuko wasn't tired at all when we jumped all the way last time, because she practices a lot." Sakura explained.
"It's because she's creepy and sits on the ceiling all the time." Tsume said. Naruto poked him in the forehead roughly.
"Be nice, she more experienced then most, and she'll be a chunin soon, right?" Fuuko looked up from her book to smile. Naruto continued, "Anyway, if you don't get to training, you'll never be good enough to make Jounin."
"I will to!" Tsume yelled and jumped into the tree. "Watch me!" He began to bounce away and the rest of them hopped into the tree, except Kumoi who was carried by Sakura, being tired from her nightmares.
"Sakura, don't work too hard today." Naruto said, they kissed quickly and he walked out the door leaving her to their quaint home. She walked into the kitchen and began digging into the dishes. Kumoi rushed in bouncing around quickly. "Mommy, mommy, mommy."
"What?" Sakura said turning off the water.
Kumoi stopped and thrust her hands together and began crying, "Tsume said they were start Kunai practice today and I want to too!"
"Is that all? Of course you can start practice sweetie." Sakura said and walked over to get her pouch and pulled out a shiny new kunai. "Since I only lead a team I don't use mine much. Here, go throw it at the tree in the back yard."
"Is that all kunai training is? I can do that easy!" Kumoi said wiping her eyes and rushing outside. Sakura continued the dishes and watched from the window in front of her.
"Hai, hai." Naruto said slowly flipping through his pile of work. He pulled out a small vanilla folder and opened it pulling out the contents to read them. "Here's the information for your team Chouji."
Chouji stepped foreword and took it, "our first C rank mission. I'll make sure they finish it."
"It's just to deliver some important papers… failing alright, we have copies." Naruto said smiling. Chouji began yelling about how important every missions success was and left. "One day that temper's going to kill me…"
"As long as you don't call him fat, I don't think it would matter." Ino said sitting on the side of his desk. She smiled and handed him a new stack of files. "Here's your work for now."
"More? Already?" Naruto said taking them. "This is over 100 missions!"
"Then I suggest you start separating teams, mores are D rank, a Genin per mission is fine, you know." Ino said and took a sip of her coffee. "I'll bring my team in at five to the hour, I expect half of the pile gone."
"You're suppose to assist me, not boss me around." Naruto said slamming his fist down on the desk. He stopped and sighed, "but you're right. Start sending in available teams in a few minutes. Genin and Chunin teams. I'll split them up too."
"Alright, alright." She said and walked out of the room shutting the door. Naruto quickly began scanning through information and found forty available D rank Missions and 20 available C rank and two A rank. The door opened and Fuuko walked in, Konohamaru her Jounin behind her with two other Genin.
"Hey dad."
"Ho-ka-ge-sa-ma." Konohamaru rubbed her head with every syllable. "When on duty…"
"It's alright. I'm splitting your team up. I have a D rank mission for each of your Genin and if I could get you to wait outside, I have an A rank for you and your old team." Naruto said quickly. "Distribute the missions as you see fit."
"Separate missions? Alright, wish the Fifth would have done that for us." He said slowly and waved as he left the room, shoving the team out with him.
Naruto and Ino, who was forced into carrying the several mission folders, walked up tot eh school, they were assembled outside throwing kunai one by one. "Oy, what's up kids?"
"Hokage-sama?!" Most said whispering around. Tsume jumped up and went over smiling. "Dad, watch me!" Tsume grabbed a kunai and flung it at the middle of the target.
"Nice job, where's Shikamaru?" He said and saw the teacher of the class staring off into the blue sky. "Shikamaru, I'd hate to drag you away but I need you to lead a team."
"A team?" Shikamaru said slowly.
"Ino will be watching the school while you're away."
"What? Me teach?!"
