Naruto looked around her new room in content.
The room was painted a soothing light blue, with a full bed for her and a playpen for Hika chan, as he normally just slept with her. She had a bookcase, and a dresser, and even a desk.
Her bookcase had been filled with books and scrolls on the history of Konoha, the five great nations, all the previous Hokages, including her father, and a bunch of Jutsu's and other such training techniques.
The dresser was filled with the clothes Tsume had insisted on buying for both herself and Hikaru chan.
Most Inuzuka's shared rooms as they prefered to be close to their pack, Kiba had his own room, but could normally be found sleeping with his mom and sister, however due to her situation she was given her own room, but had been told that she was always welcome to sleep with any of them when and if she wanted.
The clan was friendly enough to her, though only Kiba, Hana, and Tsume knew of her situation in full, all the details and everything, though enough had gotten out that the rest of the clan pretty much knew everything as well.
After a week Kiba stopped tip-toeing around her and now tackled her in a hug whenever he wanted to without hesitation, as had Hana and Tsume, the rest of the clan wasn't that close with her yet, but she had a feeling it wouldn't be long.
Hika chan loved being around all the dogs, or, 'doogies' as he called them, and they had all laughed themselves hoarse after he called Tsume Obaa chan.
The clan loved Hika chan as well, she was very scared and hesitant to let him alone with them at first, but now she let some of the clan members she knew best babysit while she was at practice or on a mission.
All in all, Naruto loved living with the Inuzuka clan, sure Anko was great, but it was just… different with a whole family around.
Sighing she stood from her seat on the edge of her bed and lifted Hika from his play pen.
"Mama where we goin?" Hika chan asked, slurring slightly, he'd been taking a lot more lately.
She smiled at him as she spoke, she wasn't sure how she was going to put this…
"Hika chan, Mama has to go away for a while, she has to go with Uncle Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura for a while for work."
"How wong will you be awawy?" Hika chan asked, his eyes wide.
"I don't know baby, I don't know, but I promise i'll come back, and when I do, we can go get Ramen, K?"
Hika chan till looked as though he might cry, but he stiffened his upper lip, and nodded. She smiled at how her baby was growing.
Naruto pulled her little boy close as she shouldered her pack, and left her room.
She would be going on her first C-rank today, to Wave country.
She was hesitant to leave Hika, but she's been when the Inuzuka's for almost 5 months now, and Hika was nearly three, it was time.
She came to a stop in the living room where both Tsume and Kiba were waiting for her.
"Kibwa! Obaa chan!" Hika shouted, holding his arms out for one of them.
Kiba smiled and stepped forward, taking Hika from Naruto gently and holding the child close in a hug.
Naruto had been surprised to find that Kiba held a soft spot for kids.
Tsume stepped forward, pulling Naruto into a hug before pulling back and taking her by the shoulders.
"You have everything you need? You've sharpened your Kunai? Your shuriken? You have fresh Senbon? You remember the technique I taught you?" She fired the questions off at rapid succession.
Naruto nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, and yes." She smiled at Tsume's concern for her.
Tsume nodded before pulling her into another hug, then taking Hika from Kiba.
Kiba stepped forward pulling her into a tight hug.
"You be careful out there got it?" he whispered in her ear, not pulling back until she nodded.
She smiled at Kiba before turning back to her baby, taking him back from Tsume and hugging him tight.
"You go now Mama?" he asked, looking sad.
She nodded, "Yeah I gotta go now baby, but I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Then we go get Wamen?" Hika asked, eyes huge.
She smiled, "Yeah baby, then we'll go get ramen."
She hugged him again, "I love you Hika chan."
"I wuv you too Mama."
She sighed as she finally pulled away and kissed him on the forehead before handing him to Tsume, she needed to leave now or she'd be late.
She waved at Kiba and Tsume before she took off, running towards the village gates.
There she met her team, Jiraiya, and their client, Tazuna.
After settling in with the Inuzuka's Naruto had met up with Jiraiya as promised.
The meeting had been filled with many tears, laughs, nice words, and some not so nice words, it all turned out okay in the end though, there relationship was still a bit rocky, but it was mending, especially since he started teaching her her father's technique.
In the past few months Kakashi had really stepped up as a Sensei, he taught them about tree climbing, water walking, the basic anatomy and how to paralyze certain parts of one's body with senbon, and many more.
He has Sasuke working on his fire and lighting elements, Sakura working with earth, and after realizing she had perfect chakra control, medical ninjutsu.
While she worked on wind jutsus and controlling the nine tails chakra.
Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday, were team training, while Monday and Saturday were full of D-ranks, and Tuesday and Thursday were personal training days.
She spent most of Tuesday and Thursday with Jiraiya, learning about controlling Kyuubi's chakra and trying to use Rasengan.
So far she's popped the balloon, and now she'd working on the rubber ball. With Kyuubi's chakra, well, it was going… strangely was the only word she could use to describe it.
She started out meditating, looking for the source, and after a while found the Kyuubi's seal, and his cage.
The demon had started out insulting her, threatening to eat her, and such, but she stood her ground, trying to show dominance over him like Jiraiya had told her too, and after a while the giant orange fox had shut up and just stared at her.
That's what he has been doing the last couple times she'd visited her mindscape, just, stared at her.
It creeped her out, but Jiraiya assured her it was because he was assessing her she dealt with it.
Other than that, she'd learnt a few wind style jutsu it isn't much, but she and Sasuke have made a killer duo technique with their wind and fire.
Kakashi has been helping improve her taijutsu, as they learnt the academy sensei's had seriously sabotaged her learning.
All in all, life was good and she was about to go on her first C-rank!
After a quick and slightly awkward hug from Jiraiya, she was off with her team and Tazuna.
Everything was going great, what could go wrong?
