It has been a few weeks since the team had found Naruto at the crime scene and Gibbs was losing patience not only had the yet to find any new evidence leading to the killer, but also he was getting quite attached to the little boy that had witnessed the event and was beginning to think of him more, and more of as his own son instead of a witness that needed to be protected. Looking over at the child playing with his toy, stoping every now and then to yawn or look out the window as they drove back to Gibbs house. Naruto turned and grinned up at Gibbs, "Are we there yet, Boss?" he questions looking around curiosity, at the not yet familiar streets.
"At the next turn we take a right and where there, buddy." Gibbs yawned tiredly. reaching over to ruffle Naruto's hair "you need a haircut." Gibbs mumbles as He turns into his driveway and steps out of his truck and waits for Naruto to follow.
Naruto runs his fingers threw his hair ,as he follows Gibbs into the house, feeling it go passed his shoulder nodding his agreement. He walks into the bathroom and grabbing a pair of scissors he begins to cut away at his long hair till, falling into spikes, it reaches just passed his ears, He stops and examines his new self given hair cut in the mirror running his fingers though it softly.
"Its not the best defiantly not" He shrugs, speaking to himself before walking back to where Gibbs was standing in the kitchen looking around for anything eatable pulling out containers that might be good and throwing the rest into the trash. "Would you like any help Boss?" Naruto asks as He grabs a chair from the table to sit on.
"If you'll like you could take a look in those containers, and throw out the gross stuff." Gibbs says not turning around.
"Okay." And dragging the chair over Naruto opens each container before looking into them and tossing about half and handing Gibbs the rest. Sighing as he stood up from his crouched position Gibbs rubbed a tired hand down his face and placed one on Naruto's head ruffling the hair as is normal.
"Thanks, for the help Buddy" Gibbs says before picking Naruto up and setting him on the counter so that there at the same height. "Now can you tell me what happened to your hair?"
"You said I needed it cut, so I cut it like I normally do when it gets to long." Naruto mumbbles looking down at the wooden floor boards with his arms crossed over his chest pouting.
"I did, and I should have said that I'll take you to get it cut by someone." Gibbs reaches his and out and lefts Narutos chin so He is looking Gibbs in the eyes. "But you should know that for now your my responsibility and it's my pleaser to provide the things that you need, you don't need to cut your own hair or cook your own food. Okay?"
"Yeah, okay" Naruto nodds then throwing his arms around Gibbs neck "thank you, for everything."
"it's nothing bud."Gibbs says liftin him off the counter and hugging him to his chest as he walks over to a door that Naruto was told not to go though, "Would you like to see my boat?"
Gibbs set Naruto down as they reached the bitten of the basement stairs. Picking up a sander he walked over to the boat. "Would you like to learn a little bit on how to build one?"
"Yes, please!" Naruto exclaimed bouncing on his heels in His excitement.
"Come here." Gibbs gestures with his hand for Naruto to stand in front of him and when he dose he gently puts the sander in his hand and directs Naruto's arms across the Boats surface.
Turning to face Gibbs with a puzzled face Naruto has to know. How, how dose He do it. "Whats eating at you?" Gibbs question seeing the confusion written plainly on Narutos face.
"How do you get the boat out of the basement?" He asks flaying his arms around as he try's to figure it out himself.
"We'll cross that brige when we come to it I guess." Gibbs tells him grinning
"So you don't know." Naruto deadpans making Gidds chuckle at the child's antics.
"Sure kid."
