Kurenai looked up, and absently, excepted the message from the bird fluttering in the window. It had been a year or so, since she and Anko had started living together, and just as long since she, Hiashi, and Anko had started the mission to take care of Naruto.
It was a little hard at times, but any misgiving's that they had had in the beginning, had long since disappeared. Though sometimes it was hard to tell when Naruto needed them, as he couldn't make a sound, and they had made mistakes, they had all learned to love little Naruto as their own.
Kurenai had taken up the role of a mother for little Naruto.
Hiashi had turned out to be a good father for him, as he knew what to expect from him thanks to his own little girl.
And Anko had become an older sister figure for him.
Also the attacks on the boy had all but stopped, as the three of them would glare at anyone who even looked the wrong way at him.
Kurenai opened the letter and started to read.
'Is it about Naruto?'

Anko looked up, 'Hn, annoying bird…' she thought, even as she excepted the letter. She was currently in a Dango stand next to the Hokage tower, trying to help a two year old Naruto understand people. They had, (Naruto's extended family) decided that they would try to teach Naruto every thing they knew, so that eventually, he could defend himself, and to do that, they first had to teach Naruto to be aware of what was going on. So far, he could walk well, and understood simple words, but could not communicate with them beyond a simple yes, or no.
She was happy with her life now, and she wasn't motivated on revenge, she could relax and play with her family, and be with people who didn't shun her.
In the beginning, there had been a lot of assignation attempts, and they had stopped most of them, but a few had gotten to Naruto and left some nasty scars, especially one that had destroyed his left eye, for all that it was worth. It went from his temple, down his face, over his eye. Then it twisted and ran over the bridge of his nose, down his cheek. Then the attacker had gotten creative and tried to take off Naruto's head, but all he succeeded in doing was scaring Naruto all the way around his neck several times. The scar then ran down his back and twisted over his right side, before going across his kidneys, and back up to his heart. They had gotten that attacker alive, and tortured him for hours, on what he had done to Naruto.
Anko sighed, now the attacks had narrowed down to about once a week, and if she was counting right, there had been over four-hundred-seventy-three, attacks since she had gotten this job.
Anko looked at Naruto again, happily eating Dango, and then opened the letter.
'Now, to see what he wants…'

Hiashi looked up as a bird fluttered into his training grounds. He could see that this bird was from the Hokage. He reached up and took the letter, and dismissed his daughter to go see her mother.
Naruto had improved a lot since they first found him. At first he had shied away from them whenever they came near, and he was scared most of the time. Now he was still shy and scared, but not around them, he was more cheerful as well, but not obsessively so.
Kurenai and Anko, along with himself, had desided to train Naruto to be a ninja, if only so he could protect himself, and so far they were teaching him how to understand people, and how to run. They had given him so weights, and so far he was improving steadily. They were all proud of him.
Hiashi took the letter and started to read it.
'If this is about the council…'

Sarutobi looked up as he felt the four chakra signatures near his door. "Come in." he called.
Sarutobi smiled as Kurenai, Hiashi, Anko and Naruto walked in. Anko was carrying Naruto and he was snuggled up to her side. It was cute. Fast as a Flash, Sarutobi whipped out a camera and took a picture. At the flash, they all looked surprised.
Anko got over it first. "What was that for Old Man?" she raged, after carefully giving Naruto to Kurenai.
Sarutobi chuckled. "I've started a scrap book on your little family, and this is just another picture for it."
Hiashi spoke next. "Why did you call us here, all your note said was to come here and bring Naruto."
The Third softened up. "I wanted you to be here to decide what to do with Naruto, after that last attack, we need him to know how to defend himself.What do you think we should do?"
All members in the room started to think. While doing so the four wandered over to the couch, and with a affirmative gesture from Sarutobi, took a seat.
Suprisingly it was Anko who spoke first. "We should get teach him, and when he's ready, we'll put him in the academy."
Kurenai spoke up next. "What if he doesn't want to be a ninja?"
It was Hiashi who answered. "Then we'll teach him enough to defend him self, and let him do ahat he wants."
All three turned to look at Sarutobi. "Is that good?" Anko asked.
Sarutobi nodded. "That'll do."

After that, all was good. For a while.

5/24/06- 7:59 am- Okay the first part of chapter 3! Enjoy. Oh and if anyone was wondering about that last others note, in the last chapter, I just wrote it backwards to see if anyone actually read those authors notes. This chapter is not finished yet, and I think that I am going to continue to write like this, unless some body gives me a good reason why I shouldn't. Bye!
