Chapter Two
[I will find you my innocent daughter…]"You three don't just stand there! Move around," shouted Naruto as he began to chuck the tomatoes at his male servants. "Ha! In your face!"
Even at the age of twenty Naruto Uzamaki was still an immature young man who liked to play and eat around all day. The energetic blond youth continued laughing and throwing his tomatoes while humiliating his servants at the same time.
Suddenly an old distressed lady with a wooden cane popped out of nowhere. She walked straight towards Naruto pointing her crane at him before slipping on a tomato. Naruto ran quickly to his grandma's side and asked, "Are you ok?"
Grandma Uzamaki frowned angrily at Naruto and shouted, "When will you grow up? When I was your age, I got married and had children! You three go clean yourselves up."
"Grandma, I'm sorry. I was just having some fun…" trailed Naruto before his Grandma's crane hit him.
"You call that fun? How would you like it if I threw tomatoes at you!" asked Grandma and added, "From now on you will work at the material warehouse!"
"But…"
"No buts! I punish you to kneel at the Uzamaki shrine for one hour! IRUKA, watch over Naruto while I'm gone! " Yelled Grandma before leaving for her afternoon tea.
Naruto walked slowly to the shrine and knelt for a few minutes before he got bored. A smile crept up his face as he opened the doors slowly. He peeped his head out slowly before Iruka shouted, "Master you…"
"Shut up Iruka, I promise to come back in an hour!" shouted Naruto.
Iruka pulled his arm and said sternly, "Master, you mustn't."
Naruto cried, "Iruka help me. Grandma's coming!"
Iruka turned his head to see if Grandma Uzamaki was coming while letting go of Naruto. Iruka realised it was a lie but the mischievous youth had disappeared. He hoped Naruto would keep to his words and come back in an hour.
The blond youth was walking happily until his auntie Tsunade called him, "Naruto dear are you busy?"
"Ah not really…" trailed Naruto.
"Can you come with me to the shipping dock? My daughter's arriving soon," asked Tsunade.
"I-no is com-ing back?" stuttered Naruto as a vague memory of a girl in two pigtails flashed in his mind. "Ok, I'll come."

It had taken a few hours for the horse carriage to finally arrive outside the Uzamaki entrance. Normally it would take a whole day to walk from the city's outskirt to Konoha. Mr Nara normally walked to the city once every fortnight to exchange his wife's embroidery for money. Then he would use some of that money to buy food like flour and rice.
When the six farm girls arrived at the entrance of Uzamaki residence they continued to gaze at the walls. Kiba ordered the servant to open the door and upon stepping inside the girls continued to stare at the beauty of the front gardens.
"This place is so big," said Ten.
"It's very beautiful too!" exclaimed Sakura.
The girls exchanged many ooos and ahhs before a maid came out with some clothes. Kiba took the clothing from the girl and handed it to the girls. After another few minutes of following behind Kiba they finally arrived at a small building.
"This will be your new living quarter. Go in and change!" ordered Kiba.
The girls went inside and were surprised to find 16 beds. The quality of the blankets was better than the ones the girls were used to. They even had their own pillows rather than the material stuffed one they had at home.
"Amazing, even the maids bed place is better than the one I have at home," cooed a random farm girl.
"Look everyone aren't these dresses more prettier than our tattered clothing?" asked another random farm girl.
"I think it's a uniform. It looks similar to the one the maid was wearing," said Sakura.
The girls changed into their uniforms and were amazed to find a mirror on the side. "Look everyone, there's a mirror on the wall," shouted Ten ten.
The girls gathered up to the mirror to check out their new look. "You look good Tennie," complimented Sakura.
"Nah, I think you look better," said Sakura before the girls heard a cough.
"You girl's don't have all day. I have to teach you some house rules and set out some chores for you guys!" shouted Kiba.
The girls scurried out the room and waited for Kiba's command. Kiba took a quick glance at the girls before resting his eyes on Sakura. He smiled and thought 'She is definitely better looking then all of them…'
"Ok listen up! In this house we have a young Master and Grandma Uzamaki. Young Master's parents are dead and that is all you girls need to know. We also have a Lady (Tsunade) Yamanaka whom her husband is also sadly deceased. Little Miss Yamanaka will be arriving today and one of you girls may be appointed to serve her."
"Firstly, it is forbidden for servants to ask about the Uzamaki's history! Secondly, you must complete all your chores in the day. Thirdly, you are to listen to all commands from the Uzamaki's. Fourthly, you must wake up at 6 am every day and sleep whenever you are dismissed. Fifthly, there are to be no quarrels between you girls and the other maids. Sixthly, you will be addressed as servant or maid or any name the Uzamaki's give you. That's about it, any questions?" asked Kiba.
"Yes, how much do we get paid?" asked Ten ten.
"That's a blunt question. You get paid 1 silver nugget each month," replied Kiba.
"WA!" said a random farm girl.
"I want to know if we can be permitted to leave this estate and if we can have any visitors," wondered Sakura.
"Good question! You girls will be permitted to leave only when an Uzamaki member allow you to leave. Yes, we allow visitors to come visit you guys once a month. Also, you are allowed to write to your family so you see the Uzamaki's aren't that strict. Any more questions?" asked Kiba after waiting for a minute he continued, "If there's no more questions, I'll show you around the place once and then lay out your chores."

Later on the evening Shikamaru continued running to the Uzamaki residence. He hoped to get Sakura back though his parents had warned him not to. He had only been to the city a few times but he promised himself to bring Sakura home no matter what.
In the dark he saw a light and as he got closer loud noises filled the air. He saw the glint of swords as a number of robbers decided to attack the horse carriage up front. Meanwhile Kakashi was trying to fight off the thieves though he was greatly out numbered. His two servants now rest on the floor injured and bleeding badly. Shikamaru grabbed a thick branch and decided to help the silver hair man. Shika's surprise attack knocked down two to three robbers. The other three to four robbers was soon taken care of by Kakashi.
The carriage rattled as Anko came out after Kakashi called, "It's safe." When Anko laid eyes on the young bushy hair man she said, "Kakashi there's another robber there!"
"No dear, he helped me. You there what's your name?" asked Kakashi.
"Shikamaru Nara," answered Shika.
"He's bleeding. Here let me help you," offered Anko as she ripped some material and wrapped it around the hand wound.
"Why are you wondering in the middle of the night?" asked Kakashi.
"I'm looking for an Uzamaki residence," said Shika.
"Oh I live there," smiled Kakashi before a rough hand cuffed his collar.
"Where's my sister? Where did you guys take her?" demanded Shika.
"Calm down we only work for their material warehouse," explained Anko and added, "But we'll take you there…"
"Really?" said Shika happily.
"Yes, by the way I'm Kakashi Hatake and she is my wife Anko," said Kakashi while the three hopped in the carriage with the two wounded servants.
