Thank you for the review. This chapter will hopefully be better than the last two. Maybe at a later date, I can redo those.

Disclaimer: I Don't own anything

A few hours had passed since Naruto met with the Hokage and the two Anbu. After a quick stop at ichirakus with his mother, where she constantly complained about not having any. There was a sudden foreboding feeling coming from inside my mind as if something was going to happen. When suddenly, Dad chose to speak, making me jump. "Naruto, please tell me you're not heading to the red-light district's second-floor room 301?" Minato suddenly piped up,"HEHE, how did you know?" I said with curiosity. "Because I lived there before I met your mother and during my genin days." I could only stop mid-step in shock. My rickety old shitty apartment was home to the fourth. 'The irony,' Naruto couldn't help but think.

I quickly made my way home, ducking and weaving to go as unnoticeable as possible. On the way, his parents were telling of multiple safehouses throughout Konoha that they had made in case of necessity, one of them being Naruto's apartment. Naruto quickly arrived at his apartment. "Now what?" Naruto asked. "open your closet. There is a loose floorboard look for a fuin formula and channel your chakra." Minato told him. Doing as told and seeing the fuin formula, he did as instructed.

There was a quick poof, and a few hirashin kunai, clothes, a few hundred thousand of Ryo, and a sword lay there. 'That's a lot of money,' Naruto thought. "I didn't know you used a sword, dad?" "I didn't, but your mother did," Minato replied. " YAY, NOW I CAN TEACH MY PRECIOUS BABY HOW TO BE A TOTAL BADASS WITH A SWORD. 7 SWORDSMAN OF THE MIST, WHO? The two blonde males and one fox could only sweatdrop at the sheer excitement of a certain redhead. "Now, hold on a second, dear I don't think Naruto is ready yet for your tort-training." Minato quickly reiterated after seeing his wife glare directed at him. " 'Hell, I barely survived.' "WHAT WAS THAT MINATO" Kushina growled with her hair in nine strands waving eerily behind her. 'how does she do that' Kurama wondered. "Naruto, feel free to use those clothes there, yours now anyway." "I will once I can fit in them," he said.

Time to get you outfitted. Let's talk to Akihito Higurashi. His shop should be two blocks from ichirakus. The dragon armory is what it is called." "All right, let's go." Naruto was excited about the trip and getting his hands on some training equipment. Suddenly, he looked disappointed. "but what if he doesn't let me go in," Naruto said, downtrodden at the thought of it happening like any other store. "Don't worry. He will trust me. He was an old friend of mine. I am sure he won't mind you going to his shop." Minato replied with a slight frown marring his and kushina's face. 'To think the village we sacrificed everything for would treat our last living legacy as bad as this.' Minato and Kushina thought as coldly. Their outrage would have been more violent if they hadn't had time to calm down after seeing how their son was treated during the walk from the hospital to the apartment. Once Naruto was ready, he quickly left, using the alleys as a cover from the people of the village, not knowing a purple-haired Anbu was her turn to guard him.

Naruto finally reached the shop when he sensed someone following him. It was a new skill that Kurama helped develop for him. He called it emotional chakra sensing. It allowed him to feel anyone's presence and emotions of a person and, to a certain extent, know what their intention was. Feeling the familiar chakra, he turned and waved at a seemingly empty corner. The Anbu could only freeze in surprise and leave to report it. All the while thinking, 'he is a child. How could he have known I am a captain, for crying out loud." Once he felt the Anbu leave, he quickly entered the store, and he wasn't expecting to see a familiar face after not seeing it for some long years. "PANDA-CHAN" He cried out happily. The aforementioned panda-chan could only look in shock as a blonde boy barreled toward her and hugged her. Finally getting a good look at his face, she cried in surprise, "WHISKER'S-Kun," she replied happily.

Meanwhile, a tall blacksmith looked amused at his tomboy of a daughter hugging a boy. "How are you here, panda-chan." Before she could reply, a gruff voice sounded from the back. "Tenten, you got a job to do if he is here, then he is a customer." With a quick "yes, dad," she turned to Naruto, "so what do you need, Naruto?" "I came here looking for Akihito Higurashi," he replied, looking nervous in the shop. "So how would a child know my name, and why would he need something from me?" " the blonde bastard told me to come to you that you would be able to help me despite my 'condition,'" Naruto responded. Instantly all amount of playfulness was wiped from his face, "I see, and who is asking on blonde bastard's request." Although Akihito wasn't stupid, he knew who he was. He just wanted to confirm that he could talk to him. As for how he knew the Hokage had come an hour ago to tell him to expect him and what had happened in broad detail. "His son," Naruto stated firmly. Akihito took a long sigh. All the while, Tenten just looked on, confused, trying to read between the conversation's lines.

Meanwhile, inside Naruto's head Kushina was rolling on the ground laughing along with Kurama, and Minato just cried anime-style. "The great almighty yellow fash reduced to being called the blonde bastard," Kushina said between laughs. "It's not my fault you kept blurting it out when you got angry," Minato couldn't help but mutter.

Back with Naruto, Akihito was already loading up the blonde's order, which consisted of kunai, shuriken, and calligraphy materials. " that will be 500,000 ryo, please". After handing the blacksmith the money, Akihito sealed everything up in a scroll. He finally turned to Tenten. "See you later, panda-chan. I will see you in the academy next year." He said while Tenten nodded to her childhood friend from her time in the orphanage. "See you, and come back again." She replied, waving in childlike glee. And Naruto set off to train for a year and enter the academy when he was done and ready.

Read and Review. Until next time
