Third Person POV ~

He looked around the mansion; a professional dojo with all the right equipments, a gardening space but there weren't any plants, 3 huge bedrooms.

Seeing one of the bedroom Naruto had busted crying, the room had one wall painted orange and other light blue, there was a baby crib, baby clothes in closet and stuff toys, he was overjoyed to see what all his parents had done for an unborn child, there were also books from bedtime story to mid academy in a shelf nearby and a study desk. His clothes were divided in two sections, pastels and dark. Pity he couldn't fit in any, they look really comfortable.

There were 2 guestrooms, one which looked more like a storage room.

A room with complicated intricates designed on walls, he could tell it was room for practicing seals.

In the basement he found his father's tri-prolonged kunai and his mother's Katana.

The kitchen and hall looked so homey, he could imagine his parents having a meal talking and laughing and him getting scolded by Kaa-chan.

There was a floor solely dedicated to books and Naruto drooled at the sight, he literally had anime stars in his eyes.

Overall the mansion wasn't filled with expensive or showey things just gave the impression that they had enough people or would have had anyway.

It was a place worthy living for a Hokage.

He checked the closets. There were clothes of his father which, Naruto begrudgingly admitted, were big for him, but his father's necklace was something he fell in love with.

His mother had really pretty Kimonos. He guessed it was an Uzumaki thing that stuck. He noted she was fond of wearing dresses.

He had tears and a big smile all the while he looked around the house. There were several pictures of his parents from various events in different clothes, Naruto's heart filled with happiness seeing his parents so happy. There were also pictures of his father's team as sensei, his mother's team as sensei, his parents' genin team, his father in Hokage robes ( there was an exclaim of, 'he looked so damn cool!'), their wedding pictures, pictures when his mother was pregnant, his parents with kid Kakashi and his female teammate (who had purple marks on cheeks and whose name he didn't know yet), his parents with kid Kakashi, pictures with Jiraiya, etcetera etcetera. He just knew he would never get enough of seeing his parents smile so bright.

As his parents had said there were their diaries, books and scrolls in the library about several subjects. Still there was space, he could add more books. Add the ones he already has and others with latest Shonen Jump of the Manga that he likes to read.

The mansion was fully furnished so he wouldn't have to buy any furniture (which was good). He would like to save his money. He liked his Gama-chan fhat!

He will have to work on the garden though, which he didn't mind at all. He always wanted his own garden, he had discovered he had green thumb the first time Iruka sensei had bought him a plant. Now that he has so much space he can finally fulfill his dream to have his own garden. Variety of flowers, fruits and vegetables. He can imagine them alright. Oooohhhh he was going to enjoy his stay here.

He decided it was enough snooping for the day and get settled in. He made clones to get his possessions from his apartment and set up in the mansion. Meanwhile, he started redecorating his room. Though it was big enough to fit his still growing body, he really didn't want to sleep in a crib. Oh but he was keeping everything else the same just a little shifting of this and that, here and there. The room was perfect already. He made space for his clothes, that he could fit in, and put his would-have-been baby clothes in the store room. He kept the stuff toys with himself, he liked them; toads of different colors and sizes and ah! A Kyuubi plushie.

"Kurama look how cute you can be if you aren't grumpy all the time!" Naruto said out loud while snickering.

Kurama huffed and grumbled but didn't comment back.

After setting his stuff up in the mansion and eating lunch, Naruto still had the day to himself. So he decided to go for shopping, he didn't have food materials in the mansion and his apartment ration was almost over as well, and hopefully he would find something that would catch his interest.

Naruto had almost finished all the shopping. He bought new books, clothes, seeds, gardening tools, food and everyday required stuff.

Naruto bought clothes just like his father and a kimono that had caught his eye because it looked like one his mother owned. His Kaa-chan's was purple with yellow tulips designed while his was rich violet with silver dahlias and white lilies.

He was quite happy today, his meeting with Tsunade went fine, forgetting the part he had caught a spy right under the nose of Hokage and ANBU. His henge had charmed the shop keepers yet again and he had successfully bought everything at a good rate.

He dropped his henge, sealed everything and walked calmly with his hands resting behind his head. He was strolling all over the village aimlessly when he ran into Chouji and Shikamaru.

He walked up to them and waved with a grin, "Yo, no missions today?"

The two were taken aback by the new appearance of Naruto.

"Naruto?"

"Yeah it's me. Didn't know you'd forget me so soon Chouji."

"You look different. No we have a free day today. And you are looking good." Chouji said munching his chips.

Naruto blushed, "Thanks Chouji."

"Troublesome blonde, where have you been? Haven't seen you in long time." Shikamaru said yawning.

"Been a little busy." Naruto stated simply shrugging.

"Well, it was good to see you Naruto. We should all go for lunch soon someday. I have to practice with my dad so I'll see you two later. Bye Shikamaru Naruto." The big boned young man spoke.

"Sure, let's do that." The blonde grinned waving.

"Mendokuse." The pineapple head muttered nodding at his retreating friend.

Chouji waved at both then walked away.

"Aimlessly wandering are you? Let's go watch clouds." Shikamaru offered and without waiting for a reply started walking.

Naruto laughed easily falling in to his steps, "Observant as ever Shika. Lead the way."

Shikamaru and Naruto reached the Nara compound and Naruto halted.

Shikamaru glanced back, seeing the troubled expression asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uh uhm, I don't think your parents would like me to be at your house ttebayo." Naruto replied softly looking away.

Shikamaru was about to question him when Shikaku opened the door.

"It's Mendokuse to ask but, Oyaji, would you mind Naruto to stay here for a while?" Shikamaru questioned.

Shikaku looked at his son then at his companion and saw the troubled expression. He frowned seeing his body tense and eyes full of fear, not one for being rejected but for being ...attacked? That alone broke Shikaku's heart. He replied with a shrug, "I don't see why not. Come on in you two."

Naruto sighed in relief and that didn't go unnoticed by the geniuses.

Naruto entered and sighed contently, "The chakra in your house is beautiful Shikamaru." he said softly while removing his sandals as if what he said was an obvious statement. Which to Naruto it was.

Both the Nara rose an eyebrow and Shikaku questioned, "What do you mean by that?"

Naruto cocked his head one said and looked at him with confusion, not realizing how cute he looked.

Both the Nara had blush on their cheeks. Naruto questioned innocently, "Did I say something coherent Nara sama?"

Their blush just increased.

Shikaku coughed clearing his throat, waved his hand in dismissal "Stop with the sama and that shit. Shikaku or whatever is fine. And what I mean is that you said chakra in the house, what does that mean?"

Naruto chuckled lightly and rubbed the back of his neck, "Of course Shikaku-san. What I mean is that a place which on regular basis has interaction with chakra signatures develops a chakra of its own. Like every clan, Nara are someway or the way related to same blood and because of that the whole compound resonates the same type of chakra signature. Nara are known for their laid back manner and sharp brains. Just like your clan even your chakra signatures are cool and calm. The chakra not just in your house but the whole compound is soft and nice, though right now because I'm closest to your house, I can feel it stronger than the others. Your home makes you feel protected of sorts, that's why I called it beautiful Dattebayo." he elaborated.

Both Nara listened intently, this was new. They didn't know there was something like this before.

"Mendokuse blonde, let's play Shogi then we can go for cloud watching." Shikamaru muttered uninterested but his father caught the underlined curiousity to learn more about the blonde and smirked. He couldn't blame his son, the little blonde has peeked his interest too.

Nara after all was his thought.

"Sure!" Naruto chirped happily.

They both observed Naruto's silent graceful walk and noted it in the back of their heads for now. Asking him now would be simply mendokuse.

The match was interesting, it went on for 2 hours in the end unsurprisingly Shikamaru winning. Yet the Nara were impressed how long Naruto could hold the game and also his strategies, they concluded the blonde could be a good tactician.

"Meh Shika, this was a great match. I wanted a good match, when I play with my clone we end up in a tie Dattebayo." Naruto said snorted lightly still observing the Shogi board.

Said guy rose an eyebrow and asked, "Since when did you start playing?"

"3 or 4 months ago. I realized what you do. So I thought to try it out myself." Naruto answered still not moving his eyes from the board missing the curious gazes from the three Nara in the house.

"Mendokuse. Go ahead and explain Naruto." Shikaku intoned lightly.

"Of course. Well I've noticed how Shikamaru plans and uses tactics on the spot. I had observed once his unusual pattern in one of his games with Asuma sensei long back, that time I was interested but didn't understand, then later I realized his plannings and tactics have a lot to do with Shogi ttebayo." He replied nonchalantly.

They nodded in understanding and Yoshino interjected before the light conversation could become one of an interrogation, she would put her curiosity aside for a while. "Well would look at the time, would you like to stay and have dinner with us Naruto-kun?"

Naruto who didn't notice her before, stood up in haste and bowed respectfully, "You look wonderful Yoshino-sama. I would love to if it won't be a problem."

Yoshino laughed, "Why aren't you polite, thank you Naruto-kun. And please just call me Yoshino. We would love to have you over."

Naruto grinned and nodded.

Behind Shikamaru muttered to himself under his breath keeping in mind to not be heard by his mother, "Would someone believe, this mendokuse woman is shitless scary." but unfortunately for him Yoshino heard him loud and clear.

Yoshino was about to snap but a snort paused her, soon the Nara were blessed with melodious laughter coming from a beautiful blonde. He was standing in a way all three could clearly see him, he wiped the corner of eyes clearly from laughing hard and looked at Shikamaru then at Yoshino, "Maa, there has to be someone to keep the lazy asses in check, ne? In your case Shika it just happens to be your mother." he said and winked playfully at Yoshino.

Yoshino squealed at his cuteness and strangled him with a fierce hug. Naruto tensed for a brief second but melted in the hug while chuckling anyway.

Both male Nara just smiled at the scene, the blonde fit with them.

They chatted for a while and Yoshino went to prepare dinner. Shikamaru looked at Naruto, "It's mendokuse but I brought you over to cloud watch, let's go."

Naruto nodded and bowed to Shikaku before following Shikamaru to the fields throwing a "We'll be back soon Yoshino-san" over his shoulder.

"It's a drag but we usually lure them by normal methods like music and stuff. They are smart themselves they don't need much pushover." Answered the pineapple head when the blonde asked him about gaining attention from the deers.

Naruto nodded. "Can I try?" He asked.

"What a drag... I don't see why not. I have to call them out soon anyway," Shikamaru answered yawning, lying down on the soft grass not opening his eyes though he was curious what did the blonde had in mind.

Naruto sat down next to his friend, summoned a shadow clone, henged it into a flute and started playing.

Shikamaru rose an eyebrow impressed, smirking he listened to the enchanting melody the blonde was playing.

After a couple of minutes the deers started coming out, just then Shikaku came to call the boys in for dinner. He stopped in his tracks and listened to the melody. He watched the scene in amusement, his son lying down on the grass, smirk present which in their clan could be called as a smile, the blonde Jinchuriki playing flute effortlessly and slowly the deers surrounding the blonde male. Shikaku silently snapped a picture, don't ask why he had a camera at the moment just know that he did and he was thankful no matter how mendokuse it is. He stuffed his camera back and stayed in place to listen a little longer, the blonde stopped playing his flute only to giggle when a deer nuzzled into him. He watched as Naruto petted them lovingly smiling brightly. So the blonde was good with animals too, the Nara clan head concluded.

Shikaku walked towards them, "Dinner's ready boys. Mendokuse, let's go before Yoshino decides to serve my head on dinner plate."

Naruto chuckled standing up, he offered his friend a hand which he gratefully took. They started heading back towards the house, "I must compliment on how good you play Naruto, you should come and help us when you aren't busy."

Naruto blushed hearing the praise, "Y-you heard?"

"Yeah and I think not only did I but Shikamaru and the deers liked it as well."

Naruto's blush darkened, "A-ah arigatou Shikaku-san. I would like to spend time here again. It's peaceful ttebayo."

"Mendokuse.." Shikaku heared the amusement in the bored tone loud and clear. They both noted, compliments were like a foreign concept to the blonde.

Their walk continued in silence but the Nara father-son duo had to halt because the blonde had stopped dead in his tracks with creased brows looking at something.

The two Nara followed his gaze, he was looking at an injured deer that wobbly walked. Before either of the pineapple head could take action, Naruto walked up to the deer smiling gently and petted her. And then he did something which shot the geniuses eyebrow to their hairline. It would have been funny to see a Nara loosing composure but there was only one blonde apart from the duo who was rather focused on the injured deer and had totally missed that expression of incredulity.

The reason for that? Naruto's hand was glowing shimmering gold. Just like that, the deer was healed in a matter of seconds. "There little one, now it shouldn't be a problem." he said gently and the deer bowed before him. He petted it again and walked back towards the Nara duo.

"Let's go, I don't want to be a part Yoshino-san's 'love pats'" Naruto said laughing lightly at the paling faces of the geniuses.

While eating dinner Shikaku asked what he knew was not only pestering him but also his son which would also catch Yoshino's interest. "Naruto, was that Iryou ninjutsu you used on the injured deer?"

He cocked his head in his adorable expression to which the male Naras blushed and Yoshino silently squealed.

He blinked and as if a switch to remember has just turned on, he nodded.

"Mendokuse. How was that golden though?" Shikaku questioned.

"Golden?" Yoshino asked curious.

"Uhm, I-I d-don't know ttebayo?" Naruto replied slightly scared.

"When did you learn Iryou ninjutsu?" Shikamaru asked noticing the discomfort of the blonde.

"Just recently. I've been trying to learn a few things." Naruto answered.

Shikamaru grabbed a knife and wordlessly sliced his palm. It wasn't his style to recklessly act but it was the only way to he could observe himself about the mysterious color. His parents rose an eyebrow while Naruto gasped.

"Shikamaru! What are you trying to do Dattebayo!?" Naruto exclaimed while grabbing his palm with both hands, one to hold firmly and other to perform medical ninjutsu.

Shikamaru noted the difference between regular and Naruto's healing. His palm healed and Naruto was glaring at him, which he wouldn't tell Naruto, was more adorable than scary.

Yoshino broke the silence, "Golden huh now I understand."

"Your healing is much softer and warmer also painless, makes you forget you're hurt in the first." Shikamaru mused out loud.

"It's Mendokuse but you know about it don't you? This has something to do with your tenant." Shikamaru spoke. His parents watching the display intently.

Naruto bit his lip and his brows furrowed. He took a deep breath, looked in the eyes of his friend-turned-interrogater and nodded but before he could be asked more questions he said, "I'll tell you more when I'm ready." making eye contact with the three one by one.

"Mendokuse.. " came a simultaneous tired reply from the males. Yoshino just smiled in comforting way at the lithe blonde.

Rest of the dinner went peacefully. Naruto thanked the Nara family for having him over and was delighted to be invited again. With that Naruto left to his new house.

He was going to start missions tomorrow and see what results did his hard work pay.

Naruto yawned "Mendokuse.." he sighed again but more amused this time "Great! A day at the Naras and I'm already sounding like one."

Reaching home, Naruto smiled seeing the pictures of his parents, "Good night Kaa-chan Tou-chan."

He smirked to himself 'Night fluff ball.'

Kurama was rather perplexed if his host was a good kit or an absolute asshole. He settled with 'good asshole' and purred which made Naruto purr too.

The deep rumble of Kurama's voice purring was soothing, shocking I know but you better believe it Reader-san.

''Shit Naruto, the fourth wall!''

"To hell with it, I can say whatever I want. This story is 'bout me bunny bitch."

''You delusional little shit. How naïve are you?''

"Whatever Kurama. Let's just say 'fuck it we need sleep' and let the reader continue with the next chapter."

''Do you really think we wouldn't lose views because apparently the 'Great Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto' couldn't even maintain a fucking wall? All you had to do was maintain a goddamn wall you fleshbag!''

Le sassy eye roll* "Well, No. They love us. Don't you Reader-san?" *wink*

*Snort*

"Alright you big-bad-rule-maintaining-chakra-fox. You reader boy or girl! Keep reading or I'll let loose Kurama on all your asses Dattebayo."

''Now that's like it.''

Chuckle... *snores* *snores*
