Side Story 2: Pieces of a House

After the incident with the rouge ninjas that were after Naruto and Train, things settled down for the night…or did it?

Walking back from the Hokage's place and all the way back to Naruto's house it seems though his house was left somewhat in ruins. Including mostly the inside plus a little of the outside apparently.

"I can't believe this! My house's all destroyed!" exclaimed Naruto looking for pieces of his house to fix it up.

"Oh, c'mon Naruto it's not that bad," said Train helping him.

"Are you serious, Train?"

"Yep!" he says with a grin.

"I just don't get you at times."

"Haha, me too sometimes I don't get you either Naruto."

Naruto too depressed at how his house has become just sighed and started on fixing his house. The good thing was his house wasn't too much in bad shape so fixing it up shouldn't take too much time. At least he would be able to get some sleep.

"Hey, Train you can to sleep while I –"

"Hey, Naruto."

"Yeah?"

"How'd you expect me to sleep in this house's condition?"

"Huh? What do you mean things should –"

"What I mean is take a look inside your house, kid."

Without paying attention before at what Train was talking about, Naruto this time turned his head and looked. Surprised at the mess that inside had contained he couldn't believe his eyes. Even though the outside seemed more damage, the inside seemed had it worse even though not much were damaged at all.

"I cannot believe this," said Naruto.

"Well believe it or not we might not even get to sleep after all."

"Please Train, don't remind me while I'm working on the house. As I do that you can –"

"Like I said Naruto, you don't expect me to sleep in this condition do you? Well don't worry about it; I'll help anyway, besides I'm staying here after all."

"Thanks Train, I owe you one."

"Nah, milk will do just fine."

"M-milk? Uh, sure thing then."

"Alright then let's start…and um, where should I start, Naruto?"

"Oh, just start by clearing out the pieces of the house that fell in there, out here and afterwards if you can, tidy up things and then that should be good while I do things out here."

"Alright then, I'll get it."

As they both got to work, it seemed though time was moving pretty fast as though they were only halfway through the fixing. As for Train, he's been snacking on milk since finishing up the inside of the house. As for the outside, things seemed a little more complicated than usual.

"I can't believe all this stuff was damaged off my house!"

"Hmmm, something the matter?"

"Yeah, I'm really tired and hungry now," grouched Naruto.

"…want some milk? Besides it helps with anger."

"R-really?"

"I don't know, but I heard it from somewhere before."

"Wow, lovely and greatly appreciated sir…and by the way, no thanks."

"Alright, alright calm down, I was going to help you any way Naruto."

With that said, Train went to help Naruto on the outside of the house. Sadly as they finally finished patching up the house, morning had already approached with the both of them not getting any sleep. As they decided to take a quick nap, Kakashi-sensei had appeared with some news for them.

"Oh boy, can my day get any worse?" mumbled Naruto.

"I feel your pain, Naruto, I really do," says Train as he pat Naruto on the back.

As train laughed if off, Naruto gave a smirking face as Kakashi talked about the important news.
