Thank you for the reviews and feedbacks.

Originally, I was going to involve these chapters and other stories in mass update but something come up and it force me to change the plan…Let me explain…

The reason why I'm planning a mass update is because I'm going into a temporary hiatus in order to focus on my youtube projects and I don't know how long it'll take since I'm planning to make roughly fifty to hundred videos first to cover a year and few months in advance (Planning to update weekly).

That was my original plan but few days ago, I kinda got recruited by a friend for his game project. Just brainstorming and nothing else. He know that I'm always imaginative and make up a lot of things for stories (Beside fanfiction, he don't know about them). He offers to teach me few lessons with game developing and I can't say no to free stuff and that would benfit both of us, he'll get a helper and I learn something new that I can follow one of my many dreams…So…With setting Youtube channel up and working with his project, it'll be pretty busy time for me.

Because of that, I'm putting up a poll in my profile for the update and it will end in about a week. So please check the profile as soon as I put it up…Before you vote, read the poll section in my profile for clear explanation.

Special Announcement: From now on, please check my profile frequently for status or any change.

Some questions won't be answered to avoid the spoilers and if I miss some questions, sorry!

Corncob Prank: ...I-I-I do not want to speak about it...O-O-Oh, deities, the horror! THE HORROR!

Coldblue: 4) I'm mute on the pairing like always. Don't want to spoil everything for you guys. I should answer the other good questions but that would be a spoiler.

Most characters might be OOC and there might be some grammar errors but I'm trying my best.

Enjoy the sixth chapter of NL.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and Loud House.

Chapter 6: Peacekeeper?

Naruto hum a tune to a song on his radio as he work on his school project, it has been about one month after he get together with Reggie and everything return back to normal…Well, there are few other things but it don't matter for now. He stop humming to check the time, it was close to dinnertime and he need to stop for now because he have been doing his project for two hours. "Good time to take a little break." Naruto get up from his chair with a stretch before he mumble with slumped shoulders, "Can't believe I get nothing to do this weekend."

"Lori's in charge!" He suddenly hears his mother's voice from below, "Do as she says! Bye!" Naruto can hear his parent race out of the house, possibly late for something before he remember something.

"Oh, yeah…" Naruto muttered, "Date night." He opened the attic door and drop the ladder before he climb down, heading downstairs to the kitchen before he hear his older sister's barking voice.

"NO!" Lori's voice yelled as the music from Luna's room ceased, following by some disappointed cries. "No music! No mud pies! No phone calls! And no video games!" It went on for a bit while as Naruto look through the refrigerator, grabbing some ingredients and leftover before he hear her voice again. "Naruto? Where are you?!"

"In kitchen, making dinner!" He hollered back, starting the oven up as he reheats the leftover dinners in microwave.

"…Carry on!" She barked back after few moments before a sharp whistle can be heard in the hallway next to dinning room, "Sisters, Lincoln, line up!" A rapid footsteps fall in line, "At ease!" There were a collective of sighs before she yell again, "JUST KIDDING! NOBODY IS TO BE AT EASE IN MY PRESENCE! As you know, Mom and Dad left me in charge. That means, you have to do as I say, whether you're tall, short, or covered in fur and can only understand the word 'sit'." Naruto walked out of the kitchen and he almost trip over speeding hamster ball as it zoom past him before he see Lori pulling a sheet out in front of their young siblings. "Now, here is our schedule for this evening. Six to Seven, sitting on bed with arms folded. Seven to 7:30, Chow. 7:30 to Eight, thorough cleaning of mess hall. Eight, staring at wall until falling asleep. Everyone got that?" They were about to answer her but their older brother speak up.

"Don't you think it's a little too much?" Naruto crossed his arms with a raised eyebrow, "I mean doing nothing for hours and only eat for short time?"

"No, it's not too much because it's…" Lori narrowed her eyes at him.

"Weekend." He cut her off before he glance at his youngest sisters, "While little sisters still have their bedtime, I don't think everyone will be able to fall asleeping after eight since it's the weekend." The blonde teenager scratched his chin, "Beside, some of your rules are kinda lousy."

"What rules?" She scowled at him as their siblings glanced between them worriedly and scared for their brother. "Why don't you give me any examples? Huh?"

"Let me see…" Naruto counted up with his fingers, "No music…"

"Because Luna play her music too loud and our neighbor will complain!" Lori growled.

"Luna'll play her music at modest volume if we ask her to…" He said.

"Yes, I promise to never go max." Luna spoke rapidly, "I swear on my grave."

"Second, no video game…" Naruto held second fingers out.

"Because Lincoln kept taking the television and play all night." Lori pointed at their family's television, "Plus, what if someone want to watch a show on it! Everyone will start fighting because of that!"

"Lincoln can play games on his DS or PSP." The blonde boy rubbed his chin, "So that way someone can watch television and he'll stay out of your hair for a while."

"Yes, yes, what he said!" Lincoln nodded furiously, he'd stay out of trouble as long as he can play a video game in his room.

"Third, no reading…" Naruto arched his eyebrow at Lori, "Really? We're not allowed to read books? Even if it's for school?" Lori opens her mouth before she snaps it close with a silent pause, why did she enforce this rule in first place? "Fourth, no playing…"

"Because they get too rough!" Lori pointed at the twin, "Then I have to break them up and that'll take hours!"

"Well, what if one of us watches after them?" He shrugged his shoulders, "They can stay in line as long as we make sure they don't get out of hand."

"I'll watch after them!" Luan quickly offered, "I'm totally mature enough!" Several sisters rolled their eyes at her for her last comment. It went on for a while as Naruto point some rules out and Lori would give her reasons about it then he'll try his best to make some tweak in favor of his siblings' freedom.

"…Come on!" He threw his hands up with an eyeroll after he finished with last rule, "Just let them have these things, they won't make any troubles if you let them be."

"Yes, yes, we won't cause any troubles!" Lynn held her hands together up to her older sister.

"We promise!" Lincoln clasped his hands with everyone else.

Lori glance at each one with a glare before she look at her brother as he give her a wide grin, "Pretty please, big sis? It's the weekend."

"…Ugh, fine!" Lori sighed out as the Loud siblings cheered together before she thrust her index finger at them, "But one problem, any problem, and it's back to nothing but sleeping!"

"Thank, sis." Naruto gave her a side-hug, earning a light elbow from her.

"Know that, if everything goes wrong…" She side-glared at him, "I'll blame you when our parent gets home."

"Alright." He shrugged his shoulders with a light chuckle before he look at his sisters and Lincoln, "Dinner start in about an hour. You all can go back to whatever you were doing." The siblings scattered apart to resume their activities with several cheers.

"Wow, I can't believe Naruto talk her into letting us doing our things while folks' out." Lincoln whistled as he faced the wall, "I was considering about talking everyone into overthrowing Lori because she always goes on power trip every time mom and dad put her in charge."

"…Lincoln, you know you're talking out loud, right?" Naruto sweatdropped at his little brother as Lori's glare hardened and the white-haired boy give out an yelp before he race back to his room to avoid his older sister's wrath. The blonde boy shakes his head, "He really needs to break this habit."

"And his so-called 'plans'." Lori made an air quote with her fingers, "They always backfire badly."

"True." He walked back into the kitchen to cook their dinner with his sister in tow, "I wonder what'll happen if you stick to your guns and him going through with his plan."

"The house will fall apart…" She snorted, "Literally." Naruto looked up with a pause as he picture his siblings tearing every room apart with Luna's huge speakers, Lynn's habit to make game out of everything, Lisa's explosive chemicals and other things like…

"We have plumber up there next to toilet?" Naruto asked doubtfully.

"Yup." Lori replied, "I hid all tools beforehand, along with fine china and all good stuff."

"Smart." He released his breath.

"More like experience." She fished her phone out to text her boyfriend as she walked toward to stair, "I'm going to my room. Let me know if anything goes wrong."

"Will do." Naruto called back.

Lori would check on her siblings often for the rest of the night until their parent come home and there was no problems so she decide to loosen up on the 'No' rules for the first time ever…As long as no one…Lincoln, Lori mumbled mentally, this kid never learn his lesson until it blow right up in his face…Don't mess it up.

"Holiday is coming up next week so we think we should go on a little trip." Lynn Sr. announced to his family the next day, "Where do you want to go?"

"And before you make your decisions, here are the pamphlets." Rita spread the pamphlets out on table, "Go look through them and pick one out." Their children start to look through them, some toss unwanted papers away.

"How about camping?" Naruto picked a campground pamphlet, "It's been a while since we went camping."

"No, Dairyland!" Lynn held the said pamphlet up over her head excitingly, "They got a new ride that guaranteed you to vomit!"

"Oh, sweet!" Luna snatched it from her tomboyish sister, reading it together with Luan, Lana and Lisa. "We totally should go!"

"No!" Lola flashed a beach pamphlet, "We could go to Aloha Beach!"

"Ooh, the one that make you feel like you're at Hawaii?" Lori smiled widely, "I'm so all for it." Leni and Lily join them with someone else unexpectedly.

"Lucy, you want to go to the beach?" Luan gaped at her goth sister.

"Two words…" Lucy lifts her two fingers up, "Shark attack."

"…I guess it's time for your first Shark Week." Naruto glanced at Lucy as she tilted her head at him confusingly, she will be very disappointed when she'll find out that shark attacks are rare.

"Ooh, boy…" Their father trade a glance with his wife slightly nervous, "Look like we get a tie here."

"Wait, Lincoln doesn't vote!" Luna pointed out and all eyes turn to the said boy.

"So which one are you voting for?" Lola narrowed her eyes at her old brother as he gulped nervously at her, "You better pick Aloha Beach or I'm gonna…"

"Whoa, don't make some threat." Lynn leaned in between them, "Lincoln can vote for whatever he want and that's it."

"Thank you…" Lincoln sighed out, only to sweat as soon as Lynn finished her sentence.

"Of course, he's gonna pick Dairyland and you have to deal with it!" The tomboy said.

"Um, guys, let me think about it." The white-haired boy rubbed his neck unsurely, "Both places sound like good but…Um…"

"Since you're indecisive, we will give you some time until Wednesday night." Rita said as her young son nodded before she looks at her daughters, "Is that okay with you girls?" Several girls agreed with mumbles.

"Thank, mom." Lincoln left the dining room to his room to think.

"Why can't we ask Naruto to break it?" Leni asked them confusingly.

"Because he's dead-set on camping like always." Lori replied, "He's such a nature freak sometime."

"Hey." Naruto glared at his older sister playfully, "Just because I like to camping out all the time does not make me a nature freak."

"Is there anything we can persuade you into our side?" Lisa asked him and he look down at her.

"Let me see…" He rubbed his chin with a hum before he mess her hair up with a smirk, "Nah! Even if I pick one side, there's no telling that Lincoln will pick other side…" 'Plus, both places are pretty close that we can go there anytime.' Naruto thought to himself, Dairyland was about twenty miles away and Aloha Beach is about four to five hours away. He glance at a clock, "Anyway, I gotta go to work." Naruto give them a quick wave as he left, "See you later."

"Dang…" The genius sister muttered. The sisters decide to persuade Lincoln by doing him some favors.

Naruto emptied the coin trays from unused arcade machines as Tom Williams talk to someone on phone at the counter about replacement parts and any new arcade games while few people wander around, looking for some games that might interest them. He closed the panel up and walk back to the counter, stowing the coins away in a safe box with a white tape label on it, 'For Change Machine'. "Okay, get it." Williams wrote something down on a paper, "I'm going there now. Thank for your help." He hang his phone up before he walk around the counter as he take a glance at his worker, "Naruto, I'm going out for a bit. Look after the place."

"Sure!" Naruto called out to his boss as Williams exited the building and the teenager boy sit down on a stool, picking up a game magazine. He would stop reading it when some kids come up to him to exchange their tickets for prize and it was pretty slow day until he hear a doorbell, following by a familiar voice.

"Sup, Naruto?" He looked up to see Jackie walking up to him as she sipped her cherry slurpee, "How's the business?"

"Slow but good." The blonde teenager smiled at his best friend, "What's up with you?"

"Nothing much." Jackie shrugged her shoulders, "I was thinking about hitting the skate park but I'm not in mood for it." She glanced around, "Hey, where's Mr. Williams?"

"Oh, he went out to pick some parts up." Naruto replied.

"Yikes, you're in charge now?" The skater smirked jokily, "I hope he know what he's getting himself into."

"I'm not like some of my sisters and lil bro." He rolled his eyes at her as they share laughter.

"Pfft, you were wild like them few years ago." Jackie snorted as she lean against the side of the counter, "Remember what you did to your aunt's cats?"

"Yeah, she hates me after that." Naruto chuckled sheepishly, mixed with guilty.

"At least she doesn't let you visit her anymore." She shivered at a memory, Jackie has met their aunt once…And she still can't get rid of this ingrown toe from her mind, this thing still haunt her to this day. Plus, she's a really crazy cat lady who seems to enjoy watching children doing chores nonstop. Naruto tilt his head at her with a light hum and a little girl come up to them for ticket exchange before she leave the arcade with a prize as Jackie turn her head to him again. "By the way, how are things going with Reggie?"

"Um, it's little complicated." He rubbed the back of his head.

"Still blowing some dates off?" Jackie's eyebrow arched at him and he nod at her. Naruto tried to set up a date with Reggie few times but she kept calling him for rain check and has been distancing herself from him lately.

"Do you think I did something wrong or…?" Naruto muttered slightly worried, "I mean, it's my first relationship…"

"Nah." She shook her head, "Knowing you, you don't do anything wrong. Maybe something comes up with her family or something personal." She doesn't want to say that she think Reggie must have second thought about the relationship since they rush into that in her option.

"Mmm, you might be right." He hummed, "Hope it's nothing serious."

"Same here." Jackie replied before she push herself off the counter, "I'm gonna play few games."

"Have fun." Naruto said, "And don't think about beating my highest score."

"No promise there." She smirked slyly and he playfully shakes his fist at her.

Jackie and Naruto walk down the street after his shift end and they were talking about their plans for the holiday next week. "Lucky you, my family tends to do nothing on holiday, beside major ones." Jackie muttered after he told her about morning, "So which one do you think Lincoln pick in end?"

"I think it's Diaryland since he loves this place..." Naruto replied, "But knowing Lincoln, he will have hard time to pick one out because he don't want other half mad at him." Jackie nod at that, "I hate to be in his shoes right now…"

"This day has been amazing." Lincoln talked to the wall with a wide grin, his sisters were trying to butter him up for his vote by doing nice things from doing his homework to clearing bathroom schedule up for a long hot shower. They recently ask him if he make a decision and he told them he need more time to think about it but he want to stall more time for a certain reason…"So I figure, why not take advantage of it a little longer?" He rubbed his hands together giddily. Only if he knows what would happen in few minutes when his sisters decide to try sabotaging each other side to gain favor.

"I'm home!" Naruto called out as soon as he enters the house with Jackie in tow, "Jackie's here." No one arrive after few moments and they shrug at each other as they head into the living room to play another fighting video game.

"Guess they're o…" Jackie was about to say something before they hear a collective of shouts from kitchen, "Never mind."

"I'm gonna check it out." Naruto was about to get up from the sofa but his parent walk in.

"Oh, hello, Jackie." Rita smiled at the said teenager.

"Yo, Rita and Sr." Jackie greeted them with a wave.

"Hi, Jackie. Naruto, good news." Lynn Sr. grinned at his older son, "We're going to Scratchy Bottom Campgrounds."

"Really?" The blonde teenager blinked at them, "How did that happen?"

"Lincoln talked us into going." His father replied, "He brought some good points up about camping instead of other two places like lake and having fun in wild."

"Let me guess, he tried to do something with sisters and it bite him back in butt?" Jackie smirked and the Loud parent confirm it with nods. "Figured."

"We were going to camp either way." Rita said with a shrug.

"Ugh, this is literally going to be the worst vacation ever!" Lori stomped upstairs with a groan, "I hope you're happy, Naruto!"

"You'll sing a different tune when we get there." Naruto hollered back with laughter.

"So are you going to stay for dinner tonight?" His mother asked the skater.

"Sure, if that's okay with you guys?" She looked at them, tilting her head slightly.

"Yeah, you're like a family." Lynn Sr. chuckled as he walked into hallway, "I'll pull the extra chair out of the basement."

"I'll call your parent and let them know." Rita left them alone with a smile and the best friends start playing video game.

"Hey, Na…" Lynn was about to race over to the couch, only to stop in her track as soon as she see Jackie playing video game with her older brother and she groan out softly.

"Oh, hey, Junior." Jackie noticed her before she gesture at the television, "Wanna join us?"

"Yeah." The tomboy took seat between them, shoot a hidden glare at Jackie as she rooting for her brother to beat the skater in game.

Several days later, the Loud siblings were getting ready for their bedtime in shared bathroom. "I'm washin' my face, 'cause it makes me feel so beautiful." Luna singed, rubbing some purple cream all over her face.

"Hey, look!" Luan pointed at floss stuck in her brace, "I'm at a floss for words!" She laughed and Naruto snickered as he brush his teeth with the twin, making sure they don't shove each other.

"I brush my hair exactly 50 times a night to keep it beautiful." Leni combed her hair with a smile, "34...35...36..."

"Hey, Leni, how old was that boy that asked you out?" Leni applied ointment.

"16…17…18…" The ditzy sister miscounted as the older sister smirked slyly.

"Wait, who?" Naruto narrowed his eyes as he turned to Leni and Lori.

"I was joking, no one asked her out." Lori rolled her eyes at him, "You're so overprotected."

"For good reason." He grunted, "I don't trust any boys that want to date my sisters. I even gave Bobby hard time at first."

"Ah, right…" The older sister thinks back to the day that she introduced Bobby to the family before she mumble under her breath, "Good thing that you don't use corncob prank on him."

"Hey!" Lynn wrestled the toothpaste with Lucy, "I had the toothpaste first!"

"No, I did." Lucy retorted.

"Keep your spooky hands off it!" The tomboy sister scowled before Lincoln come out of nowhere, snatching toothpaste tube out of their hands.

"I'll take that." Lincoln said with toothbrush in one hand.

"Hey!" Lynn glared at her young brother, "Learn to share!" The white-haired boy accidently dab the paste on Lily's head without noticing it and he hand the toothpaste tube back to his tomboyish sister as he face the mirror.

"Space…" The young boy said, "The final frontier. As you might imagine, with ten sisters and one brother, space is limited." He scoop some toothpaste off his baby sister's head with toothbrush, "Everywhere you go, you gotta deal with crowds. But being a boy in this family comes with a perk…" Lincoln walked out of the bathroom as several siblings glance at his back blankly.

"Is it me or does he talks to everything frequently more than before?" Naruto deadpanned.

"It's not you." Lisa replied.

"Ah, just checking." He turned back to the mirror before he finish up, heading to his own room.

"Sure, it's just a converted linen closet, but it's my own space." Lincoln's voice spoke through the door, "Naruto is so lucky that he get whole attic to himself because this linen is too small for him…Lucky." Naruto chuckled at that as he climbed up the ladder, it comes with a perk when you're the older boy in the family and the attic may will be Lincoln's someday.

"Tomorrow will be math test…" Naruto reminded himself with a mumble and he was about to get in his bed but there was a loud thud below. The blonde teenager blink at that before he climb down to see his sisters grouping together in front of a certain room and he peek in from behind to see Lynn and Lucy fighting as Lincoln exited his room with confusing expression.

You're always Miss Gloom and Doom!" Lynn screamed at her goth sister, "Like, would it kill you to smile once in a while?!"

"It would." Lucy replied.

"What's going on?" Lincoln asked.

"Lucy and Lynn are going at it." Lori sighed, "Again."

"I'd make a joke about fighting, but I can't think of a good punchline." Luan laughed, "Get it? Get it?"

"Luan, that isn't one of these times." Naruto muttered and his fellow prankster keeps laughing.

"I can't bare to watch!" Leni suddenly put cucumber slices over her eyes as she smiled, "That's better." Some siblings duck under jock strap, thrown by Lucy.

"I'd hate to get in the middle of this one." Lori muttered.

"I totally agree." Lincoln walked away from the scene.

"Well, I'm getting involved." Naruto stepped into the quarreling sisters' room.

"Wait, why?" The young boy popped back in with rapid blinks.

"Because I'm the older brother and that's brothers' job to play peacekeeper between his young sisters." He replied.

"…Wait, does that mean I have to meddle if Lana and Lola fight each other?" Lincoln paled but no one give him a respond.

"Break it up, you two." Naruto separated Lucy and Lynn away as he looked between them, "What's going on?"

"It's her fault!" Lynn jabbed her finger at her goth sister, "She touch my stuff and put them in wrong place!"

"Because they were all over the floor." Lucy said, "But it's your fault because you try to throw Edward out in first place."

"This thing is so gross and ugly!" The tomboy snarled, "I don't want to walk on you making out with this thing again!" They start to arguing again and Naruto was about to stop them but Lynn shout at her sister. "That's it! There's no way I'm staying in the same room with the Duchess of Darkness!" She grabbed her pillow, "I'm gonna bunk with Naruto!" The tomboy climb up the ladder as the group watch on and Naruto slowly blink.

"Um, alright then…" He scratched his head as he glanced at the goth girl, "I'll talk to Lynn first then you the first thing after school."

"Whatever." Lucy turned her face away from him with crossed arms, "I'm glad to have this room to myself." Naruto pat her head as he enter the now-empty hallway, the siblings had retreated to their rooms as soon as the quarrel ended for now, and he climb up into his room. He look at his tomboyish sister as she toss her pillow next to his and she start to look around his room, examining few objects that catch her interest.

"Hey, since when did you get these new games?" Lynn picked several cases up, "Mega Man legacy one and two…Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. I never heard of them before."

"Oh, lil sis, sometime I pity you for born late." Naruto shook his head at her, "I'll let you play them later so you can learn how awesome they are." He sat down on his bed, "Anyway…Do you want to talk about it?"

"I'm glad you get some balls around here." Lynn looked around, "Lincoln really don't have any balls in his room." It was pretty clear that she don't want to talk about it, "Oh, I know! Let's wrestle!" She pulled a wrestling mask out of nowhere, "Lucha Libre!"

"No, it's pretty late now." He glanced at his clock, it was close to 9:45.

"Late?" She snorted, "It's still early."

"Not on school night and I have a big math test tomorrow." Naruto said with a small yawn and the tomboy stares at him for a moment before she suddenly climbs up on a bedpost.

"It's Lunatic Lynn off the third turnbuckle!" Lynn leap off in air with a cry and Naruto quickly catch her in midair before he bend backward, using an German suplex on her as Lynn's face smash into the pillows. They remain in this pose for a while until he speaks up calmly.

"Go to sleep." Naruto said flatly.

"…Okay." Lynn uttered as the blonde teenager release her from his hold and they tuck in his bed. Naruto was about to close his eyes before he feel her lifting the blanket up with a snicker. "Dutch ov…"

"Counterattack!" Naruto turned the table on her by pulling cover over her head and she cry out as her own gas assault her nose. "You're few years too early to pull one on me." He released her with a chuckle.

"Dang." She grumbled with several coughs and she was about to do something again but…

"Just go to sleep, please." The blonde teenager suddenly pulls her into his arms as he rolled over to his side, spooning her in process.

"W-W-W-Wait, let me go." Lynn stuttered with red face, squirming around as she tried to pry his arms off but his hold tightened on her.

"Nope." Naruto yawned with closed eyes, "If I do, you'll act up again."

"I-I-I won't, I promise!" She muttered.

"You will, you're too hyper right now." He muttered before he starts to snoring and Lynn make few attempts to break out, only to give up.

'W-W-Well, it's not this bad but still…' Lynn glanced up at her brother's slumbering face shyly, 'He's my brother…Adopted brother…That's okay, right?' She groaned mentally, 'Ugh…Why can't my life be so easy?!' She slowly falls asleep in his arms, snoring loudly.

It was late afternoon when the Loud kids storm into their house after school and Naruto head upstairs to Lucy and Lynn's room. The goth girl was sitting on her bed, reading a book and he draw her attention with a knock on the door. "Can I come in?" He asked.

"Yes." Lucy focused on her book again, "And no, I do not want to talk about it."

"You sure?" Naruto sit down next to her.

"Yes." She replied, "I refuse to patch things up with her until she accepts the fact that it's her fault in first place." Her brother scratch his head with a sigh, sometime it's a little pain in ass to hear same things even if it's from different person.

"What are you two fighting over?" He asked curiously after a while, "I mean, there gotta be some reason for that."

"Girl stuff that you don't want to know." Lucy said.

"Alright…" Naruto sighed again as he get up before he look at her, "Whatever it is, I hope you two forgive each other sooner."

"Maybe not." She waved him away and he leaves the room with a headshake. He hopes they'll patch things up and he knows it will be sooner than he thinks, after all they're close-knitted family.

"Hey, Naruto, I'm gonna bunk with Lincoln tonight." Lynn told her big brother as they head up to bathroom with others.

"Really?" Naruto raised his eyebrow at her, "Is Lincoln okay with that? You can bunk with me again, I don't mind…"

"Yeah!" She cut him off as she walked ahead of him faster, "Lincoln's cool with it, I asked him early!" He blinked at her for few moments before he shrug his shoulders. If he can see Lynn's face, it was so red. She tried to calm herself down, 'There's no way I'm gonna bunk with him tonight after what happened last night.' She still can feel Naruto's chest as they pressed up against her and how he hold her in his toned arms..."ARGH!" She suddenly rammed her head against the wall, causing Lola to jump up with a yelp as she left the bathroom and she give her old sister a puzzling look.

The next day, Naruto was watching some reruns on television until Lincoln approach him. "Naruto, can you please make Lynn sleep in your room tonight?" He clasped his hands up in front of his big brother, "She said she's gonna move into my room! She's in my room right now. Please do something!"

"Sure, I'll try." Naruto messed Lincoln's hair up as he get up and they head up to the boy's room. He look inside to see Lynn pouring all balls out on floor and he cough into his fist to catch her attention. "I heard you're gonna move in here?"

"Yup." Lynn grinned, "Beside you, Lincoln is best roommate ever. I'm gonna have blast time with Lincoln."

"I don't know about that." He replied as she raised her eyebrow at him before he gesture at the room, "It's converted linen closet and it's not meant for two people. It'll be very cramped at a point."

"Not until we put a bunk bed in here." Lynn pointed at Lincoln's bed, "He'll take top bunk so he can have all stuff up there."

"No way!" Lincoln cried out.

"Lincoln's right, there's no way you can fit a bunk bed in here." Naruto glanced up and down the height of Lincoln's room, "Plus, you two will hit your heads every day…What will you do if you hit your growth spurt?"

"Eh, we'll deal with it later." The tomboy waved it off with a scoff before she turn back to unpack her stuff, "I am so not going back to sharing room with Ms. Gloomy. I'm gonna live here and that's it." She kicked the door closed on the brothers and they stare at it for a moment until Naruto turn to his little brother.

"Well, I tried." He said, "Sorry, lil bro."

"Ugh, I need to come up with some plans!" Lincoln groaned before he looks up to him, "Thank for trying anyway. I'm gonna try and talk Lucy into taking Lynn back." He raced over to the said girl's room and Naruto glance between the rooms before he heads back downstairs.

Another day comes around and Lynn-Lucy feud was still going on. Naruto walk up the stairs after he finished clean the dishes and he hear loud laughing from a certain room before he see his sisters once again gather in front of the door. He peek over them to see Lynn, Lucy and Lincoln throwing meatballs at each other. "Did I miss something?" He whispered to Luna.

"Short version, they made up and decide to celebrate it with food fight." The rocker whispered back.

"Ah, that's good." Naruto chuckled lightly.

"Well…" Lori muttered, "I'm outskies."

"Yeah." Luan nodded, "It's way pasta our bedtime." She laughed out loud, never notice some eyerolls from her sisters as they head into their rooms.

"So, I can move back in?" Lynn smiled at Lucy.

"Nothing would make me happier." Lucy replied with a small smile and the tomboy suddenly bust her fist out.

"Two for flinching!" The tomboy yelled at unflinching girl, "…Dang! It never works on you."

"I assume you play a role in that." Naruto grinned at his little brother with crossed arms as the young boy stood by the doorway while the sisters share hug before he ruffle Lincoln's hair up, "Good job, lil bro." He said proudly.

"Thank, I learned from the best." Lincoln grinned up at him, "Sometime brothers gotta play peacekeeper for his sisters."

"I'm glad we made up, but there's no way we can sleep here tonight." The goth girl break the hug and they glance around at the mess in their room.

"…Lincoln? Naruto?" Both sisters looked at their brothers.

"Not it." Naruto said faster with a smirk, he would let them sleep with him but he has another big test coming up tomorrow.

"Not…" Lincoln's shoulders slumped immediately, "Dang it." His big brother laughs at him.

A week later, Naruto was cleaning his room and he dump his dirty clothes in basket then he was about to make his bed but he hear his phone's ringtone. He check it before a smile appear on his face, it was a text message from Reggie and she want to meet him at park. He slide down the ladder and down the stairs before he notice his parents standing in front of living room, he even hear some fighting inside. "What are they fighting over this time?" Rita asked with fists on her hips, "A nickel under the ottoman?"

"Nope." Lynn Sr. shook his head with a sigh, "A quarter down the sofa."

"We better stop them before they start biting…" The mother said before a loud cry ring out.

"OW!" Lincoln screamed, "LOLA!"

"Too late." The father smacked his forehead before he whistle loudly to stop the fight, "ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY GET DOWSTAIRS AND CLEAN THE BASEMENT! That's punishment for fighting over money!" The kids obeyed their father with groans.

"That punishment makes no cents." Luan laughed.

"Downstairs!" Lynn Sr. hollered before he leans closer to his wife, "But that was a good one." She rolls her eyes at him.

"Sometime I wonder why they don't apply for a part-time job like I did." Naruto walked up to them from behind as he gestured at the older girls with his head.

"Maybe because you spoil them sometime." Rita looked at her son and he give her a sheepish grin. Naruto tend to buy things for his sisters and brother as long as it's affordable, which light up on his parent's budget.

"Right." Naruto chuckled lightly, "I'm going out for a bit. I'm meeting Reggie at a park near here."

"Alright, have fun." Lynn Sr. nodded at him with a smile, he can't force his son to clean the basement since he didn't take part in fighting over money so there's no need to punish him. Naruto give them a quick bye wave as he left the house and heading to the park.

"Reggie!" Naruto waved his hand high up in air with a smile as soon as he spots his girlfriend sitting on a bench with her skateboard.

"Naruto." Reggie smiled at him before her expression become sad to his confusion.

"What's the matter, Reggie?" He sat down next to her with concern, "Did something happen?" She looks at him then her eyes shift back to the ground and after few moments, she turns her gaze at him again.

"I'm…" She bit her lower lip as she placed her hand on top of his left hand, "My family is moving again. To Hawaii."

"What?" Naruto's head jerked up sharply, "Why?"

"Dad finally get his chain-stores up and he decide to move us there, partly for mom's family and to run everything from one place as headquarter." Reggie replied.

"Oh, um…" Naruto muttered, "So it's gonna be long-distance for us now? Skype, facetime and things like that?"

"…No." She sniffled, "I-I…I don't think the long-distance relationship will work out…I'm sorry."

"…W-Wait, are you saying…" He looked at her shocked.

"It's over." Reggie can't bring herself to look at him, "I'm really sorry. You're a great guy and anyone would be lucky to have you…I really want to make it work but I don't trust the whole long-distance relationship." She sobbed quietly, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

"H-Hey, it's not your fault." Naruto placed his hand on her shoulder, "W-We can give it a try and…"

"No, it'll fall apart." She shrugged his hand off sadly as she gets up, "I-I-I hate to say it but we're through…" She glanced at him, "…And if you want to know, I'm moving tomorrow in early morning…"

"…What?!" His eyes widened, "W-Why did you don't tell me anything until now…" Slowly, he realizes why she was starting distancing herself from him for a while. "…Y-You know? And you don't tell me because you thought it would make it easy?"

"…I'm sorry, I gotta go…" Reggie slowly walked away with few sniffles, trying her best to not break down in middle of the park.

"Wa…" Naruto was about to call her back but for some reason, he can't say her name and his head slowly lower until his eyes stare at the ground. How the hell does that happen to him and why?

Part of him want to blame her for not telling him until it's too late and other part of him blame himself for not doing anything about it as much as he could…

Naruto trudge back to his home and he can hear his siblings cheering over money as several bills toss up in air behind the fence but he don't pay mind to it, due to his sudden break-up. He walks through the front door and toward the stairs as his parent look at their cheering children from a window, never notice him coming in.

"It was really nice of you to give up your work bonus." Rita said to Lynn Sr., "Are you ever gonna tell them that you're Sharon DeMonet?"

"Nah." Lynn Sr. smirked proudly.

"I have to admit, it's nice to see them sharing money and not fighting over it." She glanced at the kids.

"Yup." He laughed smugly, "All part of Sharon's plan."

"Was destroying the house part of Sharon's plan?" Rita turned her head to him with a look.

"…No…" Lynn Sr. glanced around at the damages, created by their children in search for the 'treasure', and a deep sigh escape his lip. "No, it was not…" He finally notices Naruto trudging up the stair to his attic room, "Naruto?" They peek up at his back as Naruto turn around the corner and they trade a concern look. "Do you want me to go up and check on him?"

"No, I will." Rita replied, "Someone have to clean the mess up and it's you since that was your plan in first place."

"Alright…" The husband glanced upstairs as his wife head to Naruto's room, he's really concerned about his son.

Rita climbs up into the attic, seeing her son lying on his bed with dejection written all over his face. "Naruto, sweet?" She approached him before she sit down on bedside, "What's wrong?"

"…Reggie broke up with me…" Naruto muttered lowly that she almost barely hear him, "She's moving away tomorrow…"

"Oh, I'm sorry." His mother rubbed his back with a wince, "Do you want to talk about it or do you want me to do anything for you?"

"…Just leave me alone…" He buried his face into pillow and she stare at him worriedly.

"Okay." Rita stood up with a sigh, "I'll bring dinner up to you later." She rub his back in an attempt to sooth him before she head down to tell her husband about it and Naruto just lie there, silently crying into his pillow.

And that end the sixth chapter of NL! Love it? Hate it?

We covered few episodes and we just saw some little difference like Naruto manage to talk Lori into lighting up with some rules when their parent put her in charge and how he tried to do something for his feuding sisters. Sometime it work out and sometime it don't work out like in real life if you have siblings. As we get near to the end of this chapter, Reggie suddenly break up with him!

Before anyone ask…Yes, I planned that a long time ago before I update the first chapter of NL

It is done on purpose to reflect the real life in high school. If you think about it, most first relationship was done on impulse then ended immediately in a short time and I have seen that happened during my school days. I think there were few in middle schools? (Oh jeez, I'm older now because that feels like many years ago for me…)

How will Naruto deal with the breakup? What will his family and friends do? What will happen next? Let's find out in next chapter!

Anyway, I think that's all I can say for now. Thank you for reading it.
