Chapter 4

3rd Person Pov

The day that Kakashi and Naruto move in together dawns bright, sunny, and beautiful. Kakashi's awkward guilty misery hung over him like a typhoon. The Uzumaki Compound was large and affluent looking compound with a reinforced wall and door. It had been sealed up for years.

Naruto had to slash her hand and put it on the seal on the door. When it opened, she looked back at Kakashi and the ANBU with excitement. Naruto entered with all her things being carried by her clones. One of the clones was holding onto Kakashi as per order of the ANBU who didn't know if anyone besides Naruto could enter.

They both entered without any issues. Kakashi also went out and tried to come back in without her and he was barred. She had to reach across the barrier and grab him. The ANBU left after that and the two fiancés were left at the compound.

They explored the compound. It wasn't huge like some compounds, but it did have enough space for a good amount of people. They were surprised by how clean it was until Kakashi found some seals he recognized.

"Cleaning seals, and seals that keep everything maintained. Makes sense considering the mastery Uzumaki's had over seals."

"Do you think I could learn how to use seals?" She asks quietly.

"Yeah, I know a little bit. I can start you out but there's a library that could tell you more."

"Oh okay." She says dejectedly.

"Do you really hate reading?"

"I mean it's hard when you don't know what all of the words mean." Naruto whispers obviously embarrassed.

"Who taught you how to read?" Kakashi asks hurriedly.

"Um no one. I watched other people read and I matched up the words with the symbols."

"Isn't being taught how to read one of the first lessons in the Academy."

"My sensei kicked me out of that class for fidgeting and being a disturbance."

"What were you doing?" Naruto shrugged.

"I don't really know, I mean I was fidgeting but I had promised jiji that I was going to be on good behavior. I raised my hand but I was thrown out after that."

"Oh, well then we'll go over it and maybe Tsunade will help too." Kakashi wanted blood, he wanted the blood of all of her academy teachers besides Iruka.

"Okay, thanks." Naruto told him happily but a little sheepish.

"Um, well we should probably pick rooms. I'll let you pick first since this is your family's compound." Naruto raced off into the house laughing.

Kakashi followed her slinking around like the outsider he felt like. He knew he had to go see the hokage soon to look into Naruto's education. He already knew that the Sandaime was looking into the curriculum on the Founding of Konoha. It wouldn't be difficult to investigate the two at the same time.

Hokage's Office- Same Time

Tsunade was not a happy woman.

She had been content to spend the rest of her days wandering around Fire Country drinking and gambling her life, and savings, away. However, her old teacher had called her back to Konoha with the threat of being labeled a missing nin if she didn't report to Konoha in the week.

Tsunade was reasonably upset.

So she came into Konoha grumbling the whole way. Shizune following behind her. She immediately went to go yell at her sensei, she stomped through the village releasing killing intent like nobody's business. She entered the hokage tower and stomped up the hokage's office. She slammed open the door.

"Ah Tsunade please sit."

"What the fuck is the meaning of this?!" Her teacher's eyes open and focus on her in a way that would have made her shiver had she been a child again.

"Sit, Tsunade we have a lot to discuss."

"What exactly do we have to discuss that required me to come into Konoha?"

"Your child lived Tsunade." Her eyes widen. "I believe you knew him as Minato Namikaze."

"Is this some kind of joke? Why would you drag me here to tell me that the child I thought died as a child had survived to adulthood and then died?"

"Because his daughter that he had with Kushina, Naruto Uzumaki, your granddaughter needs your help. She is the third jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi, and Danzo and the civilian council have already made one successful play against her."

"What did they do?"

"They managed to get her to eventually marry Kiku Hatake's son, Kakashi. However, Kakashi is loyal to me, and it is at this moment working out in our favor. We managed to give her inheritance early, at least the one from her mother's side."

"When is she getting married?"

"At age 16 barring any more moves made on Danzo's part."

"What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to do two things. First, I want you to claim your clan seat to protect her politically. Second, I want you to train her. She is both an Uzumaki and a jinchuuriki your chakra control could help, but she is also your legacy."

"So Kakashi and I are going to train her politically and physically."

"Hai, you more so as Kakashi was her jounin sensei until recently. To avoid nepotism, they cannot be on the same team."

"I see, I'll do it. I think it's time Shizune was not an apprentice anymore, and I will not allow anyone descended from the royalty of Uzio and Hashirama-jiji be a political plaything for civilians."

"Thank you," the old man sighed. "They should be at the Uzumaki Compound trying to move in. I'll call them here to meet you tomorrow." Tsunade doesn't get out of her chair.

"What should I tell Naruto?" She asks quietly a little unsure.

"The truth, she can't blame you for thinking your own son was dead Tsunade. Honestly, she'll be extremely happy to see you and to meet you. However, you cannot reveal her father's name. If she asks why it's because he had a lot of enemies."

"Alright sensei."

"Also, I would lay off the saké. Naruto will be able to outdrink you, and she has great luck."

Tsunade almost bristled at the implication but then she remembered her grandmother Mito. She could drink full on caskets of saké and not be even the slightest bit affected. If she was anything like Mito and Kushina that girl could outdrink anyone.

Uzumaki Compound

Naruto and Kakashi quickly learned that there wasn't anything edible in the Uzumaki Compound. By the time that they had unpacked they were hungry and it was lunch. Kakashi had also discovered that Naruto had plants that she now had the space to plant. They send Naruto's clones to unpack everything.

They had to figure out who went to get the groceries. Naruto had embarrassedly explained that she couldn't do it unless she was wearing a henge, and since Ino and Hinata weren't there with her this time she didn't feel comfortable going alone.

Kakashi had to control himself from releasing huge amount of ki. He told her he would get the groceries. She could go get gardening supplies from the Yamanaka flower shop. Naruto had given him and quick glomp of a hug before running off.

Kakashi made his way to the grocery store, and started to shop for a variety of food. He hoped to get Naruto to stop eating only ramen. He had seen her cupboard before and if she really couldn't shop without being kicked out or sold bad food at outrageous prices it was no wonder she solely eats ramen.

On his way, he noticed he was being stalked. He recognized them as Misaki Tori and Hana Sakana the co-presidents of his fan club. Those two had been following him since hormones had become a thing in their lives. While he had only been 5 when he graduated, much too young for all of the children in his class to flirt with. By the time, he was 12 he was a jonin ninja, the last member of an infamous shinobi clan, relatively mysterious, and had a melancholy bad boy vibe. All the girls his age wanted to "fix" him, and decided that the best way to do that was to stalk him in groups.

He really hoped that they didn't know about his newly forged engagement or who exactly it was.

Unfortunately, that seemed to wishful thinking on Kakashi's part. As soon as he was in a relatively open space he was approached by the two women. The two civilian councilman's daughters went to the Academy but had failed their jounin sensei's test much to his appreciation. He wouldn't know what to do if they learned to walk up walls. Misaki spoke first.

"Kakashi-kun," her voice was high enough to hurt and her attempt at sounding sexy was just strange and ineffective. "What's this I hear about you marrying the demon in a couple of years?" She tries to intimidate him.

"First, Tori-san you just violated an S-class law in public, so Tenzo here will take you to T&I. Second, you should ask you father. I mean he voted for it." The woman was taken away by his old friend.

"B-but Kakashi-kun why did you say yes?"

"Sanaka-san while I understand the Third Hokage might have let everyone have a lot of personal freedom, Konoha like every ninja village is a military dictatorship. Hokage-sama tells me to do something, I do it. Also, I honestly would rather marry someone that understands my profession and the dangers it presents than some woman ignorant of every problem trying to 'fix' me. Like you and the rest of your fan club want to do."

Kakashi then leaves the woman behind. He decides to go and search for Naruto.

With Naruto

Naruto was on her way to the Yamanaka Flower Shop when she felt eyes on her back. While that was pretty normal the sheer number and the bad feelings she was getting wasn't. She snuck a quick look back at what was going on, and found a group of women following her. She knew that they were most likely not kunoichis which was a relief.

They were all civilian women, wearing pretty dresses, with nice hair, and nails. The group looked like an older version of most Sasuke's fangirls. Naruto almost face planted. Kakashi had fan girls she had seen them a couple times, but she had never really understood why. Then she thought about it and he was last of a clan, mysterious, and a prodigy. He was essentially an older version of Sasuke, no wonder he had fangirls.

Naruto knew that they were probably angry at Kakashi being forced into a marriage, which won't happen for three years, and doubly so that the girl that was going to 'get' Kakashi was the demon brat. Naruto also knew that fangirls were idiots when doing anything remotely related to the boy or man that they were after. Naruto had never understood it, but she knew that she could use it to her advantage. She would not be walked over by these civilian twits.

Naruto began to plan, usually she had a lot more time for her pranks. She wasn't sure how long she had before they would strike so she had to do something fast. Naruto began to smell the air and came across one scent she knew: Tora the Demon Cat. Naruto almost smiled and thanked Kami for her luck. Tora absolutely hated Naruto and it would be easy to lure the beast towards her and jump out of the way letting the fan girls get scratched.

If Naruto could smell Tora, then that meant Tora could smell her and that Tora was going to try to attack her for vengeance. So, Naruto just acted like nothing was wrong and kept calmly walking forward. She kept an eye out for Tora and saw the cat on a building looking ready to pounce.

She waited until the cat was almost about to attack her before jumping out of the way. The cat wasn't fast enough to turn towards her and ended up scratching up the face of the first fan girl. She watched the chaos unfold with barely restrained glee.

Naruto 1, fan girls 0.
