Chapter-4

Arriving at the Hokage's office Kurenai knocked on the door, As she waited for a reply she checked both sides of herself to make sure the girls were still close to her.

"Come in," came the reply from the other side of the door.

As Kurenai walked in to the Hokages office follewed quickly bt the two young girls, Sarutobi stood up to greet them. He was more of a grandfather figure than that of a military figure now-a-days in these times of pieces unless he had to be.

Sarutobi smiled lightly lookng at Kurenai with the two young girls, the twins were close to each side of and slightly behind her. "Hello Kurenai, I'm guessing these two here are what this is all about?" asked the old man even though it was obvious to him that the two young girls were both Hyuuga. He could also tell who they were by the fact that there was nothing covering there forehead. There was also the fact that twins were uncommon among the Hyuuga.

Kurenai knew that the Hokage is smart, heck one of his commonly used nicknames is "The proffessor."

After thinking for just a second she said "Hai Lord Hokage" knowing that he knew pretty much everything about what was going on.

Sarutobi reach down and grabbed one of the scrolls off his desk, "This has everything that Inoichi and Ibiki could get. Trust me when i say there is plenty there and then some for what you asked, as well Hitomi has agreed to sign the emancipation papers. The investigation is not over yet but as of now Hitomi knew nothing of what has been going on. The rest I will let you read from the scroll. If Hitomi comes to me should i tell her where you and the girls are?"

Kurenai had already guessed that from there meeting in the park. So she smiled lightly knowing that her friend had nothing to do with what was going on. "Sure, can you also tell her that I need to speak with her about something?" replied Kurenai seemingly to be in thought.

Sarutobi smiled lightly and said "And where will she be able to find you?"

Kurenai smiled "Well after we get done here I was gooing to take the girls out to my favorite training grounds, you know the same one Anko uses when she is not training in the FOD." She used the acronym for the Forest Of Deather so as not to scare the girls and hopefully not influence them on there opinion of Anko either.

"Oh, yes thats right the girls here will be starting the accademy soon, So we have a few up and coming ninja huh well are you two gonna stay there behind Kurenai or are you gonna come out and meet me." said Sarutobi more as a statement than a question.

Smiling in embaressment becauseshe had forgot to introduce them sooner Kurenai reached behind her left side with one hand and the same on the right, pushing the girls gently forward "Say hello to the Hokage girls."

Hotaru bowed and said "Hello, Lord Hokage I am Hotaru Hyuuga."

Hinata followed what her sister did but said "A-and I-I a-am H-Hi-Hinata H-Hy-Hyuuga." Being slightly scared by the important old man in front of her. The only other old important people that she had et had been those on the Hyuuga Coubcil and as far as she knew none of them were very nice.

The Hokage had realised that he was probably scarring the girls. He's just so used to dealing with, Veteran Jonin and ANBU that he forgot, So walking around his desk he knelt down in front of the girls, This caused Hotaru to stiffen up slightly and Hinata to Flinch when he gave them both a hug. "Don't worry girls you wont have to see the Hyuuga compound anymore unless you want to of couse and your mother can come and see you whenever you want as well she will be able to come and help you train. Having learned of the relationship with there mother from the reports her got, showed him just how much she cared. He knew Hiashi would be mad but since Hitomi had agreed with the investigation then it became his problem and not just a clan issue therefore the other clan's couldn't get upset about him interferring in clan business.

"You had better get going, Anko and Naruto have already started training but they should still be there," Said Sarutobi as he stood back up releasing the girls and watching them once again move closer to Kurenai's side. "Oh, Kurenai just to let you know I will be doing the same for you as I am doing with Anko if you want the details ask her for them," the Hokage said with a little bit of authority letting her know how important it was.

Smiling down at the girls from behind Kurenai said "Hai Lord Hokage, besides the girls and I need to do some shopping and we have to make sure they have proper gear and clothes for training, we will probably meet up with them after lunch." After telling the Hokage that Kurenai put her hands on the girls shoulder's feeling them relax a little and turned around keeping the girls in front of her mpt wanting to get caught up in conversation with anyone else. Heading away from the tower Kurenai led the girls to the same place Anko and Naruto had been to get gear then on to the clothing store for Kunoichi where they could get cloths with armour already in it and get some custome made.

After they had some fun out shopping Kurenai notice it was lunch time so they headed over to the Akimichi owned barbequ restruant.

After not seeing Anko so far Kurenai was starting to wonder why she hadn't seen her friend and about what Sarutobi ment by that last statement. So she decided to go tothe training area with the girls.

Kurenai made sure the girls walked in front of her and watched them talk quitly to each other on there way to her and Anko's favorite training grounds. There wasn't a lot of people out and about and they had all of the stuff that they didn't need right away like extra cloths, kunai, shuriken, and other supplies sealed in a storage scroll so that way they wouldn't be carrying a ton of stuff. She had picked up the storage scroll while picking up everything else, she knew that today may be hard on the girls since Anko could sometimes get a little over excited when it came to training and sometimes be a little... unorthodox in her methods of training but she wasn't to worried as she was usually able to make sure it didn't get to far out of hand.

As they got closer to the training field Kurenai felt more than one chakra signature. This was to be expected but she had never really met Naruto and she knew Anko's chakra signature. She had felt that the other chakra signature was about Jonin level, So since she didn't know this person and didn't want to walk in on anything she slowed down there walked and pulsed her chakra letting Anko know that she was going to be getting there soon.

Should could tell that they were doing something because she could feel the chakra fluxuating from both of the people so she figured they were probably just training or practicing ninjustu but usually Anko would do that alone. This didn't bother her to much as sometimes they would bring other people here to either help them train or to get help with something that they were stuck on and since the persons chakra level was high she figured that it was just some ANBU or another Jonin that Anko had asked for help with something though that was not to normal.

Looking at each of the girls Kuranai could tell that they were nervous probably wondering if training was gonna be like it was at the Hyuuga compound. So she reached down and put her hand on there shoulder's to let them know it was ok and that she was right behind them.

When they looked at her she just smiled and told them "My friend is there with someone , but we can see if we can join them, don't worry I wont let anyone hurt either of you."

Seeing that she was there made the girls feel a little better. So they just kept following her directions to the training grounds hoping to reach it soon they had been having so much fun that they were hoping this training was nothing like what they had at the Hyuuga compound if you could call it that. Most of the time they would be left hurting and not learning very much having to spar with the adults until they were exhausted and hurting.

Wanting to get the training over with for the day they hoped they would get there soon.

As they entered the training area Kurenai seen one person leaning against a tree and noticed that it was Anko. She also seen one person not to far away from Anko doing what seemed to be sit-ups so she smiled and waved to Anko, noticing that the girls had moved behind her again.

Walking over to Anko with the girls close behind her she said "Been busy huh?" kind of waving her hand towards the other person.

Anko smiled towards her friend, she had already seen the girls with her, she also knew Naruto had yet to notice any of them as he had been going through the physical training part of the schedule that she had set up for him the night before.

"Ya, been real busy since yesturday. The old man gave me a room-mate and apprentice so missions outside of the village are going to slow way down for me, he's even going to be taking my time for the T&I department, I swear this gaki here must really be liked by the old man though he does kind of remind me of someone." said Anko sith that snake like smile of hers.

Kurenai looked towards the boy training and realized that he had to be about the same age as the two girls with her. "So who is he and do you mind if me and the girls here join you?" asked Kurenai as she gently pushed the girls in front of her showing that she had been really busy, but she had guessed that since her friend had helped her out the day before anyways.

Anko smiled slightly but more of a happy smile "Sure you can join us we have just been working on the gaki's physical workout for a bit now, kid seems to have massive amounts of stamina, as you can tell he is still going and I was just taking a break for a few."

Kurenai smiled and leaned down to the twins " Well why don't you introduce you to Anko-chan here and then we can meet her apprentice."

Both girls looked at her kind of nervous about new people, but they but stepped forward and bowed together. This time Hinata spoke first "H-Hi my name is Hi-Hinata H-Hyuuga." not as nervouse hearing the familiar tone that Kurenai had spoken to the woman with, But still keeping her eyes down towards the ground not wanting to upset anyone.

Hotaru looked towards the women and said " Hello my name is Hotaru Hyuuga."

Anko smiled to the two little girls noticing that they were twins was easy but the difference in how they acted did kind of suprise her. She had noticed that Hotaru seemed to be slightly more confident than Hinata seeing that with just introductions she was nervouse. 'Huh i wonder how well they are gonna do and we really need to work on her confidence if she is gonna be a great Kunoichi' thought Anko. Anko did know a little bit about the twins from Kurenai telling her about them before hand, not being as close to the twins mom, Hitomi as Kurenai was but they had gotten together for drinks before.

"Hey gaki, come here there are some people I want you to meet." Yelled Anko looking towards where the spikey blond headed boy had started to do more push-up, 'Damn that kid really does have a ton of energy oh well that just means we can get more and more done each day' thought Anko.

Naruto stood up and jogged over to the 4 people just now noticing the others there. Once he got there he reached his hand up and was scratching the back of his had with a smile on his face and said "Hi im Naruto Uzumaki and who are you guys?"

Kurenai smiled at how friendly yet excitable he seemed to be. "Well hello there, Im Kurenai Yuhi, and I am to guess that you are Anko's apprentice." said Kurenai while thinking ' Wow he really does look a lot like the forth Hokage, I will have to ask Anko some questions the next time we get together'.

Naruto just smiled as he stood there "Yup I am her apprentice shes going to help me become a great ninja one day just like the Forth Hokage." Looking towards the other two girls Naruto just smiled and waited for them to tell him there names.

On the other hand Hinata and Hotaru were confused as to why he seemed so confidant and why he didn't bow or anything like that as there were always told that you had to always do that.

"Umm I am Hotaru Hyuuga and I guess Im Kurenai's apprentice." Said Horatu figuring that he was looking at them because he was waiting for them to tell him there names. Still confused because he did not use any of the formalities that they were used to but he seemed to be a lot more relaxed than they were.

"I-Im Hi-Hinata Hy-Hyuuga a-and I am K-Kurenai-s a-ap-aprentice a-also" said Hinata slightly worried because she did not have much experience dealing with others her age besides her sister and she was talking to a boy as well.

"Well are we going to get to training we wont get strong unless we train," said Naruto with a smile wondering if the girls were here to train also.

Anko just laughed "Well the gaki here doesn't seem to mind so i don't care if theres more of us or not but we should probably start from the beginning with the girls as i don't think they are used to training like I have been with the gaki all morning. Then again I don't think anyone has as much stamina as this kid here so don't worry about it. said Anko before laughing lightly again.

Kurenai looked towards her friend thinking 'Wow this kid must be some sort of stamina freak but then agian everyone knows that he is the villages Jinchuriki except the girls here I wonder if I should tell them or just let him do it later oh well it really is his choice to do so and the law and everything.'

"Well then did you already have something set up or should we start with trying to figure out where everyone is at?" Said Kurenai to Anko

Anko looked towards her friend and blinked "Well the gaki here doesn't have anything when it comes to chakra control and needs to work on his power, but his endurance is insane for someone his age so we don't really need to work on that, plus he has just started getting regular amounts of food so for now we were just working on getting him into shape, how about we start off with some laps and then sit-ups, push-up and a generalized work out as its already after lunch and only have until dinner then after dinner it will be time to concentrate on learning about chakra and chakra control." said Anko to her friend having already set up a training schedule for him.

Kurenai smiled lightly and said "Well you heard her girls guess we will be working on getting into shape and our endurance." Laughing that her friend had not seemed to think things through this much in a long time. 'She must really like the kid to put this much effort into his training.'

Looking towards the girls and the boy named Naruto she smiled and said "Well lets get started tomorrow we should work on our aim as well, how about in the morning we can get together and discuss what we plan on doing and Anko can go over her training program that she has made for Naruto here. We might be able to help out in some areas while Anko here can help us in other areas as well as learning about some other things, if we want to change things later we might be able to if there is anything else we can think of. So off we go come on I want to get this going so that way we can still get to the store before they close so we can get some stuff for dinner."

Naruto looked from the girls and the women to Anko and back again before he gave a big fox like smile and said "Well lets do some laps thats what I started with this morning." Before turning around and starting to jog away.

Stopping he turned around and looked at the four woman who seemed to have sweat dropped before saying " well are you coming or am I going to be doing this by myself?"

The girls had heard him and Hotaru who was a little competetive said "Ya we are coming" before grabbing Hinata's hand and started to follow the boy. "Come on Hinata we want to be great Kunoichi like mother right so lets get going."

Hinata just smiled at her sister and the boy lightly before saying "Hai" and started to follow them.

Anko looked towards Kurenai and said "Well shall we go I'm already starting to get sore, i don't know where the gaki gets all of his energy but I have a feeling that hes gonna make things interesting for a while at least and I have a feeling that trying to keep up with him is gonna help increase my own stamina as well, I mean come on this kid has been going all day and is still going strong, so any thoughts on what to get for dinner?" thinking that they would all just go out for dinner together.

Kurenai looked towards Anko as she started to jog after the kids and smiled before following. "Well I figured I was just going to stop by the store and make the girls something when we got home."

Anko smiled and told Kurenai once she had caught up to her " Well how about we go out for dango and ramen the gaki seems to love the stuff, plus they could all use a big meal and maybe those girls would like something sweet after todays workout." while laughing

Kurenai looked towards her friend knowing that she was the one who really wanted the dango and said "Sure but the girls need a regular diet as well, cant always be eating ramen and dango."

Anko thought about that and said "Ya I guess this means im gonna have to cut back on dango so that way the kid doesn't think he can always eat the stuff. Well could you help me out with that I usually just go out to eat so im not very good at cooking.

Kurenai looked towards her friend already knowing that as she had tried some of the things that Anko had made and well lets just say it was safer for Anko to go out all the time. "Sure I'm gonna have to teach the girls some ho to cook stuff anyways for when i cant be there, so I can teach you and the boy also, hey thats right Hitomi could probably help out also and shes a great cook, oh and she will probably be joining us on training the kids since we need someone that knows the Hyuuga's gently fist style."

Anko had been watching the kids run and smiled "I don't know how much thats gonna help those two girls there, they seem to have more fluid motion than what the rigid stances of the Gentle Fist Style use we may have to make some adjustments, maybe try to work that in with some other styles, I know of a few that there style would work well with that style and flow a lot more fluidly even my own hebi style would work a lot better for them than the one they have been learning.

As they moved through the different excerises Naruto never seemed to tire, but he always pushed himself even up to the point where everyone else was wanting to stop. Anko had noticed this and she stopped to see what time it was, seeing as how it was close to dinner she smile and called out to everyone " Hey, its time to stop lets all go home and get cleaned up then we can go out and get something to eat."

Kurenai was panting lightly she hadn't done this much physical excerise in a long time and she was a little irritated because that blond boy didn't even seem winded, Anko had told her about his stamina but this was just unreal to her. The girls looked excausted they definetely spent more time on chakra control and sparing then working out physically. She figured that this would be good for both of them, then she remembered that Anko had said the boy didn't have anything when it came to chakra control so she figured that the girls would feel a lot better when they got to that.

She had seen the looks both of the girl were sending towards the boy, at first it seemed like frustration or anger but then it turned to aww once the girls had notice he even out lasted there teachers, smiling to herself she just thought 'well mabey he can return those looks once we start chakra control im sure the girls would appreciate it very much.'

Anko had seen how the girls were sticking together but they seemed to gravitate towards either each other or Kurenai. She liked the idea of going to the restruant because it would give them all time to get to know each other so they would feel better working around each other and with each other. As well she didn't know how long it would take them all to get cleaned up at home since she only had one bathroom and she knew Kurenai's place only had one bathroom also. Realings that and the fact that she didn't know the twin's pretty much at all she said "Hey how about in sted of going back home lets go to the onsen."

Kurenai knew that not a lot of people were at the onsen at this time and she knew the owners so she said "Sure, I don't think anyone else should be there so we can relax for a few before dinner." Smilling Kurenai figured that she could ask the owners to close the place down so that way they could have some privacy even if others were around. She knew of Naruto reputation and the rumors going around. She didn't really believe them after seeing just how hard he worked. Well she figured that Anko, the twin's and herself could get to know eachother more while Naruto relaxed since there was no one to go into the men's side with him.

As they were gathering up there supplies and getting ready to leave Kurenai and Anko both felt two strong chakra signatures heading there way.

Sarutobi and Kakashi came walking into the training grounds from the main road.

Sarutobi spoke up first was they walked over while saying "So how has the training been today?" All the while smiling like he knew what was going on. 'Well I did check up on them occasionally with my crystal ball,' thought the old man as he stood there.

Kakashi eye smiled as he figured out why the Hokage had brought him along outside of his ANBU gear, he noticed that the group currently consisted of two women, two girls, and only one boy meaning that the odd one out when going to the onsen would be by themselves. Kakashi had to wonder 'How often am I going to be dragged into things regarding Naruto here.'

Speaking of Naruto he smiled still full of energy and said "training was great we were just getting ready to go and get cleaned up before going to get some barbaque."

Anko smiled genuilly before turning away from Naruto towards the Hokage and Kakashi as her smiled changed more snake-like and she said "Why don't you join us that way the gaki has some company while we are at the onsen." That and she was hoping that the old man would possibly pay for dinner.

Kurenai was watching the interaction between them as she knew that they had some relationship before, and as she was doing that she felt two people move up close behind her. Realizing that the twins didn't know Kakashi as well as they didn't know Naruto and Anko very well she just looked down at them reasuringly.

Hinata and Hotaru had been watching what was going on and still couldn't believe that someone as important as the Hokage would be wanting to spend time with them. As well they still didn't know what to think of Naruto and Anko, but they did know that they didn't dislike them as well. Mainly because during the whole time they were training neither of them said anything to put either of them down. So the twins figured that they wouldn't mind spending more time with them and they were hoping Naruto would be there friend as they didn't have any friends there age.

As they were standing there talking they all heard a growling sound, looking towards where it was coming from they seen Naruto standing there with one hand behind his head scratching the back of it and the other hand on his stomach.

Naruto noticed that everyone was staring at him so he said "what I haven't eaten anything since lunch and we have been training hard all day so lets go I am starving." While laughing a little bit he had started to walk towards the main road before stopping and turning around almost embaressed he said "Umm, where is the onsen anyways?"

Everyone laughed at this before they stated to leave the training area also. Anko guessed that he had not been to the public onsen, but she knew they would accept him where they were heading, escpecial since the Hokage and the head of ANBU were with him. She was wondering if maybe she should stop at the T and I department and get Ibiki and Inoichi just in case, but desided against it since she didn't want to scare the girls... yet.

As everyone had started walking already Kurenai, Anko, Sarutobi and Kakashi were all talking about the training and idea's that Anko and Kurenai had for Naruto and the girls. They also talked about random things while trying to pay attention to Naruto and the twin's to see how they were doing.

Naruto and the girls had just been chatting amoungst themselves not really paying attention to the adults at all except what direction to go in.

Naruto had been excited that the other people showed up as he thought about it more people ment more friends and he wanted more friends... no he needed more friends as he didn't have any and Anko was his sensie and they had just really met the previous day.

Naruto had stopped talking and was in thought about what had happened when he turned and looked at the everyone including the twins, smiling slightly he just turned back around and listened to Hotaru talk about how she was going to do a lot better tomorrow and be able to keep up with him. Hinata just smiled and blushed slightly still kind of confused about the blound headed boy that they had trained with but not really talked to.

Hinata and Hotaru had always thought alike in everything they are twins to the core, but Hinata was more reserved and shy where as Hotaru liked to brag every once in a while and Naruto had notice this. He thought that both of them would make great friends.

As there were walking Kurenai smiled and said " The onsen is close just around the next corner to the right."

Naruto was thinking quickly, but he had stopped before walking just before the corner and turned around to face everyone. Looking between Kurenai, Hinata and Hotaru he just had to know so he almost shouted on accident "Would you all be my friend?" He had a smile, but what the girls and kurenai seen was the hope in his eyes.

Kurenai stepped foward as everyone had kind of stopped in shock from his turning around and blurting that out. She smiled at the spiky blound boy in front of her and said "Of course, if Anko likes you them im sure you are a great young boy," as she leaned down to look him directly in the eyes so that way she could show him that she ment it.

Hotaru had stepped forward and said "Of course ," with a genuine smile on her face. She had been thinking about asking him but didn't want to hold everyone up and she was taught that you did something like that more in private than in the middle of the street.

Naruto beemed brightly as he looked at Kurenai and Hotaru then he turned towards Hinata and smiled.

At that point Hinata smiled slightly and blushed again, but didn't really understand why maybe it was because he was so confident or maybe it was because he was a boy asking to be her friend. She spoke quietly but loud enough for him to hear and said "Hai."

Kakashi also stepped towards the boy, but he noticed that Anko was tense and he looked around, what he seen shocked him. People were sneering and talking quietly as they looked at the boy trying to hide what they were doing since the Hokage and Anko were there knowing that neither of them would take someone bad mouthing Naruto. Turning back towards the boy he was wondering just how he either didn't notice or didn't care about the stares. So he stepped forward and simply said "Of course" feeling that this boys inner strength was already impressive if he can stand there and smile while all that was going on around him.

Anko had been tense and she had noticed so was the old man, but she didn't want to ruin the moment so she just smiled trying to hide the emotions swirling around in her. She had lots of practice at this, but for some reason she was having a hard time doing it when it came to protecting this boy. Maybe it was because she seen a lot of her self in him or mabey it was just the situation so she said "Already enough of the sappy stuff lets keep going we area almost there.

Sarutobi was happy that Anko had said that as he was about ready to snap and possibly do something that a Hokage should not do. Smilling he had looked at them all and felt better know that the boy had a few more friends, he figured they would make quick friends being in somewhat similiar situations but at the same time different.

Naruto was happier that he thought he would be, turning around he jumped in the air and yelled "Yeah," while thrusting a fist in the air. before he started walking again.

Everyone else just sweatdropped upon hearing this but they followed him without a second thought.

Upon getting to the onsen Kurenai stopped everyone, Sarutobi walked over to Kurenai wondering what was going on so Kurenai explained to him that she wanted it to be private and since the onsen normally wasn't busy around this time she was gonna see if they could have the place to themselves. She wanted to do this mainly for Anko and Naruto, but also for the twins because she figured that they had not been to a public area like this because of where they grew up.

Sarutobi smiled at Kurenai and told her he would take care of it. Walking into the onsen with Kakashi following him and Naruto staying with the girls made it easier. Since he was there the owners seen him enter they walked right up to him to figure out why he was there and when he explained that he wanted the place shut down for him and who was with him they didn't mind, he did have to pay a small amount but he didn't mind knowing the comfort that it would bring to the group as there first time out.

walking back outside Sarutobi told them to waite for a couple of minutes while Kakashi made sure the place was empty. When Kakashi came out he just eye smiled and told them it was ready. They all followed him in and went to the side that they were supposed to with Naruto being redirected when he tried to follow Anko not really understanding it he just did as Anko and the Hokage told him and went with the old man and Kakashi.

When they entered there side Naruto was showed where to get undressed and cleaned up before going into the Onsen to relax.

The twins had some help from Kurenai and Anko though both were slightly embaressed since they were not used to doing anyhing like this with anyone but eachother since they had always done it.

Naruto had gotten cleaned up and waited for the other two that were with him, smiling he grumbled a little about slow people, but he didn't have to waite long since they didn't spend all day training and he did. Following them in he was sitting there wondering what he was supposed to be doing when Kakashi looked at him and simply said "Just relax, thats why we are here, you had a long day training and this will help your muscles relax as well," as he eye smiled and leaned back sinking a little more into the water. Sarutobi smiled lightly thinking that it was a good idea to bring Kakashi with him since he was always watching everything around him. Kakashi knew about his reputation but did not think most of what he heard was true until he had see how most people looked at him.

Kakashi looked at Naruto and said "So, how do you like training with Anko-san is it enough of a workout and do you need help with anything yet?" Offering his own service to the boy was a suprise to both of the other two that were with him, Kakashi decided to offer his service since he had seen the way the boy was treated and he knew the truth about what had happened. Being only slightly older than Kurenai and Anko did have slight privlages since he was ANBU for a while now he knew the truth about the forth and what had happened so he thought it only fair that he train his teachers son.

Sarutobi had been Watching the other two since Kakashi had said that, Naruto didn't awnser right away but he did seem to be thinking about it more than what he would have done even a few day ago he figured that would be Anko but they had only been together for about 2 days now. He didn't think changes would happen this fast but he knew Anko wanted to help him atain his dream so she was probably pushing as much info into him as possible before they started the accademy. She would probably keep it up the entire time to, he knew Anko could be sadistic but he wondered just how much he would take after her.

Naruto spend a couple of minutes thinking about what Kakashi had said, he had just got Kakashi as a friend, but Anko is his sensie and he didn't want her to feel bad or hurt because of him accepting Kakashi as a sensie also so he decided to just tell the truth. Looking towards Kakashi he said "Well I wouldn't mind your help and more training is great, but I want to ask Anko-chan first."

Sarutobi and Kakashi had both heard the 'chan' suffix instead of hearing the sensie suffix like they thought so both just smiled knowing that Anko ment a lot to the boy and he didn't want to upset her or loose her.

Kakashi eye smiled and said "Alright we can ask her when we go to dinner how about we just relax for now."

Naruto smiled because he didn't want to turn down kakashi but he also didn't want to hurt Anko-chan, and this felt like the perfect sollution.

Back with the girls they had all gotten cleaned up and were relaxing in the onsen, Anko had been watching the girls and noticed how nervous they were, laughing lightly she smiled and said "Don't worry we are all girls here, you can relax and have some fun." Smiling as the girls looked at her and so did Kurenai. Turning a little more towards her friend she quietly so the girls couldn't hear her said "they are both very nervous and shy, what the hell exactly happened or will we talk about that some other time?"

Kurenai had been watching her friend wondering exactly when this would be brought up. For now though she didn't want to talk about it she just wanted to relax in the onsen before they all got together for dinner so looking towards he friend she just whispered "Another day, not now dont want to ruin the mood."

The twins had been sitting there for a little while not really doing much, every once in the while they would look at there new sensie and then at the woman they just met that day. they had talked between each other and figured that most of there days would be spent training with this new person also. So they decided just to talk to both women and possibly get to know them a little more.

Spending there time there just talking was much needed for everyone. The girls and the women had talked more so than the guys, but it was O.K. to Naruto since he had always known the old man and Kakashi just wasn't that talkative about himself. Naruto had talked a little about his dream and how much he wanted to get stronger to become Hokage. Sarutobi had explained what being a Hokage truly ment to Naruto and how it ment more than just being recognized, it also ment that he would have to protect everyone in the village not just those he liked. Naruto had made a promise that he would do such a thing and he did it loud enough that the women could hear him as well.

This had made Kurenai and Anko smile, it also made the twins blush both silently making promises to the selves that they would work hard so they can protect those they care about also. Anko and Kurenai both seen them blush but didn't understand why maybe they would in time but for now they just thought it was cute. Anko didn't mind as long as the girls didn't turn into screaming fangirls she was happy for them.

The girls had talked quietly until kurenai shouted over to the guys that they were getting out and gonna get ready to eat.

Sarutobi just smiled and told them that they should also get ready for dinner and at the mention of food Naruto's stomach grumbled again. Naruto blushed a little and hurried out.

Everyone had gotten out and gotten dressed feeling a lot betterand refreshed so they all met up outside the onsen thanking the owners before heading to the resturant. Anko noticed that Naruto was a lot quieter and at first she was a little worried until she noticed a look of determination in his eyes. She just smiled and thought that maybe this was there best idea yet, maybe now he would take training more seriously, she just hoped he would still be that fun loving brat that she had first met and not turn cold in his attempt to be a great ninja, but she figured she could work with him to make sure that didn't happen.

Everyone talked quietly on the way to the resturant and over dinner, all of them seemed slightly tired, so Sarutobi smiled and told them that he had to get going, but he would cover the bil... this time. This made the adults laugh as the kids didn't understand, they were still a little to young to understand. Sarutobi and Kakashi had already left when Anko looked towards Naruto and told him they better get home so they could work on chakra control for a little bit before they had to go to sleep since they would need the rest for tomarrows training session.

Kurenai made Anko promise that her and Naruto would come over for breakfrest that way they could go over what they would be doing even if it took a week to get everything straightened out she wanted a balance plan for there training she knew they would have a head start on anyone else in the academy but she figured that it would be ok as long as they didn't get arrogent.

Anko had made the promise before leaving and taking Naruto home with her, once they got there she noticed that since he had eaten he seemed to almost be asleep as soon as he sat down, knowing that they wouldn't get much done since he couldn't concentrate she told him to go to bed and they would start chakra and chakra control training tomorrow.

Kurenai had taken the girls home and the same was happening with them so they went to bed knowing that it was going to be day the next day. Smiling as she watched them climb into bed she waited for a little while before heading to bed herself wanting to make sure they were asleep.

Sarutobi had watched through his crystal ball as they all went to sleep before sending some ANBU to watch over them just to make sure, smiling he decided to get caught up and possibly get ahead on his paperwork that way he could check in on there training session and possibly provide some tips along with Kakashi. He had Kakashi with him for a while, but he told him that he should go home and get some rest since tomorrow would most likely be another long day. Kakashi left without a word but on his way home he doubled checked to make sure the ANBU were doing as they were told which they were. Eye smiling he went home and went to sleep knowing the Hokage would be up late but that was ok he wasn't known as the 'God of Shinobi' for no reason.

With everyone sleeping peacefully they had all went to be knowing tomorrow would be another day of training so they would rest well, this was there life now and none of them minded. They all were happy to have other there with and for them.
