Naruto had gotten up late the next morning after the Party.
He had slept like a log and had not had any dreams, at least he didn't remember the one he could of had.
He stumbled his way into the Master bedrooms Bathroom, and after spending himself in the face a few times to wake up, he brushed his messy Red hair, and got changed into an Orange long-sleeve shirt and Black pants.
As Naruto excited his Bedroom, He saw Kakashi exit his room as well.
But he looked absolutely terrible.
More terrible than usual.
Naruto knew Kakshi wasn't a morning person, but the fact he had also been black out drunk coudltn of helped his situation.
"Hey Kakashi... You doing alright?" Naruto asked his Older brother.
Kakashi shook his head slowly, "Natuto... I'm dying..."
Naruto knew that he was joking and exaggerating his condition, but he could help but feel bad for his brother, if only a little bit.
"How much did you drink last night? It must have been a lot, Fenrir and I had to carry you into your room after you collapsed in from of your door" Naruto poitmed out.
Kakashi groaned in pain and shame.
"Let's... Let's go get some Coffee, it usually helps me when this happens..." Kakashi said as Naruto Guided his stumbling brother down the stairs and into the Kitchen, where Tengan was found cooking up a storm, with Fenrir in a smaller version of his wolf form, chewing in a large piece of Roast meat
"Kakashi! Just in time. I've made you some special Coffee, it should help with your Hangover" Tengan said, handing Kakashi the Mug of Coffee.
Kakashi, with reckless abandon, chugged the still-hot coffee, repressing his urge to spit out the very hot liquid.
After he had chuggged half of it, he stopped and stumbled backwards.
"What... What was in that Coffee?" Kakashi asked, Sounding much less Hungover and sleepy.
"Hahahaha! It's a special medical herb that grows near the Den, It used to be used by The people of Uzu to help with party hangovers. Fenrir told me of how you were when he came down. I Thought you could use it more than Fenrir, since that bastard cousin of mine is notoriously hard to get drunk" Tengan explain per with a laugh.
Fenrir just nodded as he continued to ear his chuck of meat.
Kakashi grabbed a plate of food and left to eat and continue with his coffee.
As he did that Naruto went to do that same, But Fenrir stopped his chewing and drew Naruto's attention.
"Naruto... the Nara, Yakamada and Akimichi clans will be here today to start the renovations on the buildings they've been given, I want you to go and oversee their progress"
"Really? Are you sure?" Naruto asked his large Wolf Regent.
"It will be good for you to interact with other clans for official business from time to time, It'll give you practice in handling situations that you'll need to deal with" said Fenrir as he scarfed down the rest of his meat and and stretched.
"What will you be doing?" Naruto asked.
"I got a message from Hiruzen this morning by an Anbu Messgaer, He wants my opinion on some matters of the village's Current state as I am a leader of a large population of people myself, and I said I would help the best I could, as I'm not the best with politics. So I'll be over at the Hokage office for most of the day" Fenrir explained.
Naruto nodded and left to join Kakashi in eating the breakfast that Tengan had prepared.

After Breakfast was finished, and Kakashi left to see if he was assigned to any missions, Naruto exited the clan compound and was surprised to see a group of people walking around, examining the buildings and having a look around..
And it was the leader of the group, A very familiar Tired looking Nara, who noticed him first..
"Naruto, What is we can do for you?" Shikaku asked, which lead the attention of the other Adults to be drawn to him.
"Nothing much Shikaku, I 'm here to oversee the work you'll be doing. Fenrir thought it would be a good idea to have me here in case you needed to do any excessive work, that way you wouldn't have to go looking for me. Plus I need to learn to interact with the Other clan heads in the capacity of a leader, and this is the perfect opportunity" Naruto explained.
The Nara nodded the reasoning, and brought Naruto over to where the group was and started to explain the plans they had for the Area.
"The Ino-Shika-Cho all work on different things, but we all interact with each other on shared projects form time to time. We of the Nara, are researchers and are the ones who developed ; a medicine that aids the Akimichi Clan in the use of a very powerful technique, and also a powerful sensitive/relaxant that makes it harder for a Shinobi to focus, making it easier for the Yakamada Clan to use their more powerful Mind Jutsu that need a target with a weakened will" The Nara Explained.
"So you all need each other to work at full capacity? Since the Nara don't have any inherently Physically powerful Shinobi and rely on team work" Naruto asked, using knowledge he had recently learned about the clan to his advantage.
Shikaku nodded, "Exactly, in typical team placements that involve our clans, The Akimichi are the ones who take on the Target Head on, The Nara are the ones who restrain the target, and the Yakamada take what we need for the enemies mind, and also incapacitating them in the process. Our clans have been working with this formation for generations, it's become second nature to work together on all matters"
"Hmmm... Doesn't this mean that any enemy with knowledge of how your trio work and operate could easily dispatch of the teams involving your clans? It just seems like a huge disadvantage to specialize so much. Wouldn't it be better to expand your arsenal?" As the Young Uzumaki asked these questions, the Nara did indeed look as though he considered his words.
"Indeed it would be better, but such changes would take too long without proper knowledge or resources" the Nara rebuked.
"Why don't I help?" Naruto asked.
Shikaku looked puzzled, something that never happened often. And seeing this, Naruto explained his words.
"The village of Uzu was the Home of three very diverse clans. So we have a wider variety of knowledge than Just Fuinjutsu like most believe. Plus Uzushio were a village of raiders. We took everything we could form other villagers we raided, or so I've been told. So we have even more to give"
"So you want to aid us in developing our clans foundations?" Shikaku asked, slightly shocked at the proposal.
"Of course, we are all clans of Konoha. And as much as the people have mistreated me, It is still my home, the home my father and mother died protecting. If I can help in anyway, I won't mind sharing what Knowledge the Uzumaki clan has in our. Vault... But I have a few conditions for such a deal" Naruto said.
The Nara clan head was, again for the second time today, shocked.
He expected Naruto to be a naive boy with no real agency except for wanting to be a shinobi.
But he seemed much more capable that what Shikaku initially thought.
"What are these conditions?" One of the Elders of the Yakamada clan that had come along to represent his clan, asked.
"Nothing too costly, you can be sure. I just want a few things. First is a simple exchange of knowledge, While we don't want any clan techniques, Any research the Nara has on medicines would be greatly appreciated. The Akimichi can contribute a slightly larger amount of the monetary income from their businesses, along with any delicious Recipes they might have. And... I want help from Inoichi personally, for a private matter"
"May we know the nature of this matter?" The Yakamada Clan elder asked.
"It involves the Kyuubi" Naruto said simply.
The mention of the beast caused everybody to freeze.
But all the people nodded in agreement,
Shikaku, especially feeling like he was taking advantage of the Young red head.
"Is that all? There is so much more we could give? Is that really all?" The Nara asked.
Naruto nodded, "We don't have any real use for anything else.
The Medicine knowledge is more for just the sake of having it to study, I've always liked the idea of knowing a little something about Medical Ninjutsu and Medicine. The money and Recipies, are for our Parties, which will most likely happen again and in greater Force than ever. As for Inoichi's help... It would help me greatly if he could help me talk with the beast inside of me" Naruto's words made Shikaku uneasy.
Talking to a beast that destroyed so many lives and had wrecked the village? It wasn't a very logical thing.
"Are you sure you want to talk to it? Is it even possible?" Shikaku asked.
Naruto nodded.
"Fenrir spoke of my mother and Mito Uzumaki talking to the beast on at least one occasion each. I want to try and get on amicable terms with it"
"Amicable terms?" The Nara clan head questioned.
Naruto once again nodded, "Yes, I've heard of the power a jinchuriki can have, but what use is that power to the source of it struggles against me and tries to undermine my efforts in using it's power"
"So you want to be able to use it's power without it pulling back? In order to help the village?" Shikaku came to the conclusion.
Naruto nodded, "Exacly. Hiruzen will only be around for so much longer, and not many candidates for the Kage position have shown themselves. I want to be at least in the running for the position so I might make this village a better place"
Hearing Narutos words, Shikaku truly felt he didn't know anything about the boy in front of him.
Putting the subject aside for a later date, They continued with their original reason for being here.
Planning out the use for the buildings the Clans would be using.
