After getting Her parents blessing to be trained by Anko and Gai, Naruto made a suggestion that would make things easier.

"Why not move into the Compound? It will certainly save Sakura the treck from the Vilage to here every day" Naruto suggested.

Sakura's parents were shocked at the suggestion.

"Lord Uzumaki, We couldn't possibly accept. We have no skills as Shinobi to offer the Clan. We are just Simple Bakers"

Naruto shook his head, "Then the deal is even better. You can relocate your shop here to the Uzumaki district. Being in the center of a bustling Shoping district would certainly help business. And with the Support that the Akimichi clan can offer with providing Ingredients and A few helpers, and the Uzumaki with the financial backing, business will be booming. Besides, The Uzumaki Clan may be a Shinobi clan, but Sakura is a friend of mine, and An Uzumaki always helps their friends to the best of their ability" Hearing Naruto say these words, both Sakura and her parents were in shock.

This was an offer of a lifetime.

Naruto understood that a civilian Shinobi never went far unless they had exceptional Help and resources.

He had all of them, more than he needed in fact, so it wasn't a problem to offer the deal.

"Naruto... You don't have to do this" Sakura said, he voice low with embarrassment.

Naruto shook his head again, "I know. But I want to. Plus it would help the Compound fell more lively if more people moved in" Naruto said with a wry smile.

Sakura's parents looked at each other, and with a few whispered words, they came to an agreement.

"We insist that you take the a majority of the profits from the bakery" Sakura's father said.

"There is no need to give me that. The Uzumaki have no problems with money, and if anything, by keeping the money for yourself, you doing me a favour. Trying to handle money in large amounts is hard enough, we don't really need any more" Naruto said.

Sakura's parents both stood and bowed before Naruto, making the young redhead blush a little.

"We thank you for you your generosity!" they both said, finally agreeing.

Naruto nodded, "there is no need to thank me, really! But if you want to get started with the plans, Go inform Fenrir of the deal and He'll handle all your requests" Naruto said.

Both of Sakura's parents nodded and left with Anko as their guide to talk with Fenrir.

And Gai left to go get something to eat, Leaving Sakura and Naruto by themselves.

"Thank you Naruto... For all of this" Sakura said with a slightly blushing face.

"No need to thank me, It's the least I can do. And besides, I wasnt lying when I said it would help me by filling up the Compound a little, it does get lonely around here with not many people"

Sakura hugged Naruto tightly, surprising the Red head.

After she was done, They both went back to the table to inform the others of the things that had happened.

.

.

.

Three months past, and a lot had happened.

With Sakura and her family moving into the Compound, Things started to seem more lively, even if just by a little,

They had set up their bakery and business was indeed booming, just as Naruto had said it would.

Sakura also started her training in preparation for Gai's Training.

She had Become quite the decent Healer, and was constantly aiming to improve, and with access to the knowledge in the Uzumaki Vault, that Tengan had became the unofficial Curator of, she was indeed making great progress as Anko's student.

And with Ino and Her both training in Medical Ninjutsu, It lit a fire in them both to out do the other.

But that wasn't all.

Sakura had also developed Physically as well.

Her grades in the Sparring sessions at the academy and the Physical training classes had skyrocketed.

She wasn't on the level of Sasuke, Hinata to Naruto, who held the top three spots.

But she gave Kiba a run for his money, which also motivated him to improve.

And apart from standard progress from every one of his friends, which had quickly made them the strongest first years in the academy, Naruto himself also had a few bits of progress.

Naruto's skills, while not rising in any noticeable way, Had become more refined.

His Chakra control had finally reached a level where he could perform most basic jutsu with few seals and with a low cost.

His Kenjutsu had progressed to great heights. H was far from being a master, but he was very well a skilled Swordsmen.

Sure the fact that he was one of the only ones in Konoha helped his case, but that didn't matter to Naruto.

Naruto's Fuinjutsu, which had also improved, Had reached a level where Tengan was very proud of Naruto's work.

And his progress with his Sealing Chains, which had become a great weapon and tool, made Naruto confident that he was on the right track to being a proper Seal Master.

He has also chosen a second Storm Release Jutsu to learn.

Cloud Sentinal, was a Clone type jutsu, that formed a clone that was made of storm clouds

They had little to no physical mass, being made of Water and Air, but made up for it in their Ability to shoot small bolts of lightning, explode and electrocute opponents, and Even fly around at low altitudes at very fast speeds.

They made for amazing Distractions, and had proven to be very good in a fight when he sparred with Fenrir, or Skoll when he had time to spare in between his own training.

And lastly, Naruto's grades in the Academy were quite good.

He had a very high score in most things, his theoretical test results were bellow only a few, and his Physical test results were top of that class, second to none.

But with no notable Things happening, Naruto's life quickly turned into a blur of time, as he continued his growth.

.

.

.

It was in the middle of his second year at the Acadmey, Naruto had grown a lot and so had everybody else.

But all that growth was for naught as In the dead of night, While the village slept.

One Anbu had slaughtered an entire Clan.

Itachi Uchiha, Now a Missing Nin, had been the perpetrator of on of the biggest events in all Konoha history that wasn't a war.

The Uchiha Clan, was no more.

The clan reduced to a Single child, Sasuke.

And a missing Nin, Itachi.

The Uchiha Massacre, or 'The Night the Red Eyes Shut' as it had become known as by the more poetic/insensitive members of the village, has caused a lot of issues.

But also, it seemed that not everybody was as saddened by the event.

As one Elder Shinobi, who had served with the Current Hokage under the Second Hokage, Seemed to be more delighted than anything else.

'Danzo... I'll have to keep an eye on you, you slippery Eal' Naruto thought as the Entered the Clan Meeting, that had been called just an hour ago to address the situation that had happened two days ago.
