A/N: Holy cow! I got a puppy for X-mas! :D A beforehand present! :D I love him! A tiny Yorkshire named Rocky! I shared my moment of joy. Thank you, thank you!
Naruto is 3 year-old. He can speak more than befoooore so I will make him talk more! :) I don't develop as much as I used to do because it would take many chapters. XD I think you've had enough with his babyhood.
Oh thank you for your reviews! XD LOVE THEMMMMMM!
*** I do not intend to do any pairings now. I am just introducing more characters in the story! :) Besides, there is not much of the Hyuga in this chapter. It is just a little intro! ***
*Okanari's POV*
"Do you understand, Naruto-kun?"
"Yup."
"Then do it."
"How?"
"Like this."
"Ohh, 'kay!"
"Alright, I will help your other friends okay?"
"No... I need help!"
"But Naruto-kun, I just explained it to you."
"Nuuh! Help me!"
"I will ask Fujiwaki-sensei to help you, okay?"
"Nuuh! You help me!"
During my years as sensei, I had many children under my care but none of them were like Naruto-kun. He is just three year-old but he has caused many troubles. His parents are thinking on taking him out of our daycare. They think I have spoiled their child too much.
"I need help!"
The fact is, that I have spoiled him more than the others. I give him more attention and when he needs something, immediately, I give it right away. He thinks his parents will act as I do so he throws tantrums for anything. Kushina-sama as well as Yondaime are tired of their boy's attitude. I am trying my best to keep Naruto-kun in our daycare. He is an amusing little guy. Public daycare is not as good as privates. After all, he IS the Fourth Hokage's child! I must treat him like a little prince! Or I might be doing wrong.
"Help me peaase!"
"I will help you later. I have something to do."
"Why? Nuh, me need you now."
"Okay," I clap my hands to get my group's attention. "It's nap-time! Take your blankie and form a train in front of me, please."
"Hai!" The eleven toddlers say in unison. Except one.
"Naruto-kun, take your blanket please."
"Nuh."
"I count to three. One."
"You take my blankie."
"No I can't. You are strong enough to bring it with you."
"Nuuuh! I'm not strong! Look!" He makes himself fall on the floor. "I'm no strong. Can't walk."
"Naruto-kun, please."
"I-I can't!" I want to laugh but if I laugh, he will keep going with his game. "Need help!"
"Okay, we leave. The train is ready to leave." I open the classroom's door and slowly walk out, followed by my group. "Naruto-kun, get up and follow us."
"I can't! Me has no legs!" He wiggles on the floor and whines.
"Fujiwaki-sensei, can you hold Naruto-kun's blanket until we reach the nap room?"
"Sure."
Finally, the boy stands up and follows the rest of the group. "Please, quiet kids, there are other friends sleeping."
"Who?" Asks Naruto-kun.
"Friends from another class."
"Can we see new friends?"
"No, not now. They are sleeping."
"HIIIII FRIENDS!" He shouts happily.
"Naruto! Shushh!" Fujiwaki tells him.
"I want mo' friends."
"You will have friends if you are silent. Friends don't like when others scream."
"Oh.."
"Okay, we are going in the nap room, there are friends sleeping so don't make any noise, okay?"
"Okay!" Says my group.
"New friends?" Asks Naruto again.
"Yes but they are sleeping. Take your blankie and go for your bed."
"'kay! Shuuuush!" He gets in the room and walks silently. He looks around himself and finds a free mattress. "Here!" He says whispering.
"Okay, now dodo time."
"'Kay."
When all the children of my group are prepared to sleep, I join Fujiwaki and the two other senseis present in the nap room.
"Phew, I thought I would have trouble dealing with Naruto-kun." The senseis of the Tulip class smile at me.
"Shush Naruto!" I hear him whisper to his mattress neighbour from here.
"Want new friends!" Replies the boy softly.
"Not now. Later."
"'Kay..." He rests his head on his pillow and observes his neighbour.
"Who is the girl next to Naruto-kun?"
Asanagi-sensei, from the Tulip class look at the girl and replies. "She is Hyūga Hinata, the daughter of the clan head, Hyūga Hiashi. Of what her father told me, she will be the heiress-apparent of the her clan."
"Wow... Such a burden for a young child." I look at Naruto and see him poking Hinata-chan's arm. "Naruto! Stop!" He shushes me and goes back to his sleeping position.
*Naruto's POV*
"Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hiiii.."
"Naruto, stop or I will take you out!"
"Shush!"
I want new friends.
"Hi, hi, hi-"
"Hmm..."
"Hello?"
"Uh?"
"Why you have weird eyes?"
"..."
"Why you have big weird eyes?"
"..."
"Hello? You speak or no?"
"No..."
"AH! YOU SPEAK!"
"Naruto!"
"My name is Naruto! You?"
"Hi-Hinata..."
*Okanari's POV*
"Come here!" I pick him up but he squirms and whines.
"Nuuuuh! I have a friend!"
"It's not time to talk!"
"'Kay, I stop."
"Last warning."
"Uh-huh." I leave him and go back to my place.
"Hello Hiata!"
"Hi-Hinata."
"Hi-Hinata, hi!"
"Shush... Or sensei will not be happy."
"No, I want to talk with you, Hi-Hinata."
"No, my name is Hi-Hi-Hinata."
"'kay, Hi-Hi-Hinata!"
"Okay, enough!" I go back to him and take him out immediately. "Corner time, Naruto-kun."
"NUUUUUUH! Sowwy!"
I sigh and give up. "Please Naruto-kun, be quiet. I don't want to send you to the corner but you don't stop talking."
"Okay, I stop.."
"You promise me?"
"No..."
Ugh... What will I do with this kid? So cocky at his young age.
"Will you sleep in my arms, then?"
"YEEEES!"
"Shushhhhhh!"
He giggles and apologizes. I take him in the room again and nestle him in my arms. In less than five minutes, he falls asleep.
"You are spoiling him too much, Okanari-senpai."
Argh! Why did they say that? I know I'm spoiling him but I can't stop it. "No, I'm not."
"If they take him out of this daycare, you will know why."
"I am fully aware of that."
~O~
After spending the day teaching new stuff to my group, I wait for the parents to pick them up. Today, the Fourth hokage told me none of them would come for Naruto since Kushina-san is in a big mission and himself, is pretty busy. Someone called Jiraiya will come for him.
"Where is daddy? Or mama?"
"Someone special will come for you!"
"Who? Hi-Hinata?"
"Hinata-chan? No sweetheart, your uncle." That's what Minato-sama told me to say to Naruto-kun.
"Ahhh!"
I perceive the Hyūga family and tell to Naruto that his new friend is about to leave. He goes after her and hugs her.
"Byee Hi-Hinata!"
I see the petite toddler blushing and waving her hand toward Naruto-kun. The father looks at him with great surprise and leaves with Neji-san and his daughter.
The kid pokes me and asks me, "Sensei, who is the boy?"
"He is the cousin of Hinata-chan."
"Oh! And the giant man?"
"Her father."
"Excuse me," I feel someone's palm on my shoulder. "Can you tell me where is Naruto the brat?" I turn around the face the man who dared call the child brat.
"Hereeee!" The kid replies with enthusiasm. "I am hereee!"
"Are you his uncle?" I ask, for security reasons.
"You got it. Can I leave with him?"
"May I know your name, please?"
I feel little hands wrapping my leg and a strong heartbeat. "What is it Naruto-kun?"
"I don't know the ugly man..."
"What did you call me brat?!"
"Monster!"
"Excuse meeee?!"
"MONNNNSTER!"
"I'm taking him right away!" The white-haired man says firmly.
"Wait a minute sir. How can I be sure you are his uncle?"
"I am his father's sensei. I lived with this brat for a year and if you don't believe me, go ask the Fourth!"
What a pain.
The confident man winks at me, blowing me a kiss. "I can take you to a special place if you want... Sweety!"
EWWWW! "No way I am giving you this kid! You have no official proof that he is your nephew! Besides, you are such a PERVERT!" I hold Naruto's hand and leave him behind.
"Per-pervt! Ugly per-pervt!"
"Wha-" the man follows me and stops me. "You are not taking him with you! Minato told me to take him home and I will do it!" He snatches Naruto's hand from mine and leaves.
"HEY COME BACK!" I follow him but he is too fast.
He winks at me with a huge pervy smile. "Nice to meet you baby!"
"Disgusting mannn!" I walk back to my daycare with arm crossed. "You will pay for that."
*Jiraiya's POV*
"Hey brat, do you want ramen?"
"Noooo! I don't know youu, pervt!"
"First, I am your godfather but you don't remember me because you were a baby brat. Second, we say 'pervert' not pervt and lastly, are you sure you don't want ramen?"
"No... I want cookie."
"Alright then. Let's go home for a cookie." I sigh at the kid and walk my way home.
I put him down and make myself comfortable in the Uzumaki house.
"Cookie!"
Ugh... I almost forgot about his cookie. "Yeah, come with me." He follows me to the kitchen and waits patiently for his cookie. I see your parents have raised you well so far, I say in my thoughts. I open every drawer and kitchen counter's doors but find nothing that looks like cookies. "Do you know where your mum hides the cookies?"
"Uh-huh!" He points me the oven with his little finger and smiles. "Der'!"
"In the oven?"
"Nooo! Hm what's even?"
"Oven!" I show him what's the oven and look for the frigging cookies. "Ah! Found them!"
"Yayyyyyy!"
"Hmph, never seen a brat that happy for a mere cookie." I give him his cookie and leave the kitchen. "Don't mess around."
I sit on the couch and open my book; my forbidden magazine.
"What's that?"
"Ah! You scared me brat!" My heart is pounding, almost like exploding. "That's a magazine you should never look nor read!" I shrug and keep reading.
"I want to seeeeeee! Pwease!"
"No way!"
"I want milk!"
"Argh... Wait for me then." I leave the magazine on the couch and go directly to the kitchen. Kushina has changed her kitchen since I left so finding Naruto's bottles is a hard game for grown-ups.
When I find it, I pour warm milk and walk back to the living room, where I expect Naruto to be sitting quietly for his milk.
"Here you-" I freeze for a second and stutter incessantly. "Wha-N-Sto-No-no-" I pull myself together and raise my voice furiously at Naruto. "What do you think you are doing!?"
"Boo-!"
"Eeeeeek! GIMME THAT MAGAZINE OF SINS BACK!" I snatch it from his hands and shred it with my bare hands. "Your parents are so going to kill me!" I walk around nervously, trying to find a solution to Naruto's new discovery.
"Hmm me has a question."
"No! Don't talk to me now. I am busy, don't you see?"
"Why the mum has no clothes?"
AHHHHH! Oh please! "She was poor and did not have clothes to put on." Stupid reply of mine!
"Oh! I can give my pj!"
Such innocent human! "NO." The frightened toddler looks at me with insecurity and lowers his head.
"Daddy say we have to help sad friends."
Well let me tell you this, that chick was not a friend at all! I wish I could tell him that but he won't understand my message. "Some friends like to be naked..." I daydream for a while before realizing what I said to the young kid. "AHHH! No no! I mean... They-they feel better without clothes." Oh I'm putting myself in deeper troubles.
"But mama say to use clothes always! And the mum has no clothes."
"She is not a mum. She is a pretty lady."
"Lady? And what's that?" The kid points my pectorals with an intriguing look.
"Uh? Those are called pectorals."
"Oh! Thanks you!"
"Your dad and mom will be back for supper. What just happened is a secret between us, ok?"
"'Kay! Hm what's your name?"
"Jiraiya! The great and handsome toad sage."
"Jiji!"
"No I'm not a jiji! I am JI-RAI-YA!"
"Jiiiiraya!"
"Never mind... Time for your nap." I pick him up by his waist and drop him in his bed.
"Aaaaagain!"
"Noo! You sleep and wait until I come for you."
"I'm no sleepy!"
"I can tell you a story then."
"YESSS!"
"Once upon a time, a tall and handsome white-haired man baby-sat a brat. The brat was still alive. End of the story."
"..." I can see confusion in his eyes.
"Sleep well." I leave the room, leaving the puzzled boy in his bed. He will fall asleep trying to understand the story. I don't need to worry.
"JIIRRAYAAAA!"
Oh goshhhhh! "WHAT?!" I scream from the living room.
"Hi-Hinata!"
"Hinata?! What is Hinata?"
"My friend!"
"We will visit your friend later. Now, sleep!"
"Prewmise?"
"Yes, I promise, but sleep!"
"Kieee!" The child lies down in his bed and covers himself with his little blan- wait, he still has the blanket I gave him when he was in his mother's belly? Impressing.
"'night Jirayaa."
"Sweet dreams." I shut the door and shake my head. "Did I promise him we would visit his friend?" facepalm. "Jiraiya... you should control your promises and words."
Meanwhile, I will prepare supper and set the table. That does not ask much of my muscular strength.
*Kushina's POV*
Phew, the mission is completed. I just need to report it to my hubby and head home to relax.
I was the captain of the team so it is of my duty to summarize and explain to the fourth hokage (my lovey) our methods used in the mission and the result.
"It was nice working with you, Kushina-senpai."
One of my teammates, no older than Kakashi, bows and leaves, dragging his tired body home. I am surprised by how strong and courageous he is. Young and full of potential. I walk in the hokage building and head the Hokage's office directly. After making sure that my husband was not occupied, I open the door and greet him with a smile and thumb up.
"Kushina!" His fine and pretty face welcomes me with a huge smile and shiny eyes. "Oh, I am so glad to see you back."
"Pfft! I will always be here to report the missions, sir."
"How did it go?" He shuts the door and sits on his desk.
"Perfect! No complains, no problems and I did not even crush my teammates' face." I laugh intensively and look at him, straight in his eyes.
"I heard about a small organization. It seems like they are after something or someone of big importance." Like I expected, my husband's face changes completely.
"Do you have any information about their hideout or information about the members composing the organization?"
"Unfortunately, I don't. I heard of them only because of the many villagers that came to us, seeking for help."
His eyes turn dark and his breathing changes. "Damn it."
"What is it?" I don't like it when he turns anxious about a problem.
"Uh?" His eyes come back to their light blue colour and a smile appears on his fine face. "Nothing important, not for now." He spreads his arms and gestures me to come to him with a nod. Without hesitation, I go in his arms and hug him tightly.
"You did an excellent job, Kushina. As expected from you."
He is praising me! Oh I'm turning red. "Tha-thank you my lord."
He lets out a subtle happy sigh and he caresses my hair. I know something is bothering him. I feel it.
"Time to go home. Our son is waiting for us." He kisses me before to dismiss me. "See you at home. I will finish filling some reports and I head home right after that."
"I will stay with you."
"Are you sure?"
"More than sure!" I wink at him and he approves with a wink.
I sit on his lap and kiss him intensively, leaving the poor man in a moment of magic love. "Let's start the work." I murmur in his ear.
*Jiraiya's POV*
They should be home by now. Which means that I have to wake up little Naruto and set the table.
I walk directly to Naruto's room when I hear him cry. I run and open the door, running to get by his side. "Naruto!"
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Th-the brat is laughing! Wha-what was- "Naruto..." I take him out of his crib, which is starting to get too small for the child. He should start sleeping in a transitory bed for children but that is not the matter now. "Naruto, why were you crying?"
He cries again and sits on his butt. "Narutooo!" I pick him up and rock him, walking in circles in the room, trying to calm him.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Again! Why is he laughing?! Don-don't tell me is making fun of me? "Laughing much?" I take him to the kitchen and sit him in his chair. I buckle his security belts and set the table. "You won't fool me again, brat!" The toddler grins widely and laughs in delight. "You are creepy, you know that?"
"We are home!" I hear both of Naruto's parents shouting their presence from the main door. So lousy.
"Daddy! Mama!" I let him go while I finish to prepare the meal. "Go and run, feel the joy of liberty."
"Hi sensei!"
"Good evening Jiraiya!"
"Hello jiji!"
Argh! I am not a jiji! I greet the two adults and invite them to take a seat around the table. "Mmm it smells great!"
"Your sensei cooks like a chef, my dear kid."
The red-haired woman inserts a spoon in the curry and licks it. "I think I will hire you to be our private chef." She takes a seat and waits eagerly for the meal.
After I served all the family and myself, we sit on our chair and put our hands' together.
"Itadakimasu!"
We eat in silence until the brat starts giggling.
"Mama.."
"Yes, sweetheart?"
"I have new friend!"
"Who is it?"
"Hi-hinata!"
The father smiles and joins the conversation. "I know Hinata-sama."
"No, no Hinata, Hi-hinata." The two parents laugh at their son.
"Her real name is Hinata, but she is a very shy girl, thus, the stuttering when she speaks."
"And-and I looked a book!" The hyper child says with a grin.
"Which book, sweetie?"
"Hmm with ladies! They were poor. No money. No clothes."
AAAAAHHHH! NOOO IT WAS OUR SECRET!
I feel two evil stares directed to me. Oh, evil parental presence. I'm dead.
"Naruto... Where did you read the book?"
"There!" The brat points the couch seen from the kitchen. "The lady has biiiiiiig very very biiig pe-pecorals!" He draws big circles with his two hands in the air, proud to talk about his new discovery.
Pectorals? That's why he asked me earlier what were called my pectorals. He meant boobies. OH YOU BRAT!
I can see the lovely Kushina turning red of anger. She is boiling inside but smiling on the outside.
I wish I could shut that brat's mouth, but two overprotective parents would jump on me and beat me to death. "Ji-jiraya say is a secret! So shuuuush!"
That's no more a secret, you fool! Now, your parents will hate me forever! I can hear them growl of anger.
"Mama?"
She lifts her head to look at her son.
"Mama?"
I know she is very pissed off at me. I know she wants to jump on me and torture me. I know she does not want to talk now.
"Mama! You have small pecorals. Not like in the book!"
Eeeek! Why did you say that, you brat? That's a major insult for a woman to say they have small boobs.
"Na-Naruto, go to your room, please." The fork she has in hand is folded by much displeasure.
"Oh... but food not finished..."
"It's okay for tonight, Naruto." My former student smiles at his son and helps him to leave the table. "We will go for you later."
Are they punishing their son for insulting, his mother, unconsciously? I mean, the brat doesn't know how complex are women!
"Now that Naruto is away, we can talk."
Oh gosh! They sent Naruto to his room only to beat me?! Good parents, good parents.
"Alright, beat me all you want. I know I did wrong, but at least, I know my godson is aware of the beauty women ha-"
"DIE YOU PERVERT!"
She is coming! SHE IS COMING!
"AAAAAAHHHHH I AM SORR-"
~Later~
*Minato's POV*
"Da-daddy! Where is Ji-Jiraya?"
"He left." No, he did not. He went to the hospital. Or should I say, Kushina blew the strongest punch ever to send Jiraiya-sama to the hospital directly.
"Bu-but he prewmise!" I see little tears forming in my son's eyes and smile slightly at him. I am almost scared to ask him what did that pervy sensei promised him.
"What did he promise?"
"To see my-my frewn!"
"Your friend? Sasuke?" Pheww! Nothing that gave me a heart attack.
"Nuuh! Hi-Hinata!"
"Ohhh! We will go tomorrow, okay? Now is too late to visit friends."
"Bu- 'kay.." He sighs and observes his hands. "Da-daddy?"
"Yes?"
"See tv?"
"I am sorry my little sunshine, but watching tv before going to sleep will keep you up and you will adopt that bad habit. And that bad habit can cause you chronic health problems!" I look at my so-
"Naruto?" He is not there anymore. Where did he go? I hear giggles and silly voices coming from the living room. I lean on the wall of the living room and enjoy the view.
"Hahahaha!"
I love when he laughs. It's just like there was nothing to worry about in this world. I join him to watch his episode and sit him on my lap.
"Funny ah?"
"Yes it is, son."
He rests his head on my chest and starts breathing heavily. He is falling asleep. I wrap him in my arms and rock him from left to right. He sucks his thumb and closes his eyes. Ah! He couldn't finish his episode!
"La-lady.." He mumbles in his sleep.
Jiraiya... You messed up my son's innocence! Pfft! "Night night, Naruto."
I keep watching TV with my sleeping boy and slowly, I feel my eyes shutting and fighting against sleepiness. Come on eyes, don't fight! I am going to bed anyway. I turn off the TV and take my son to our room. "You will be warmer between your daddy and mommy's arms."
I will just wait for Kushina. She must be enjoying seeing sensei in pain at the hospital. Humph, is it too much to ask for a good babysitter?
HAPPY HOLIDAY! MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hm no... I think I will update before new year. XD
Here is the title of the next chapter: A Cup of Tea?
Take careeeee my people! LOVE YAAAAAAAA
