Chapter 19: Just Some Bad Habits
It was a holiday and Naruto & Sasuke woke up early at 5 am doing some warm up exercises. Both of them were trying to control their chakra nature. Sasuke was trying to control fire from bonfire and Naruto was trying to do the same with water from lake. Naruto didn't check his chakra nature but he wanted to use water as his primary element.
Crox was in lake trying to catch some fish for his breakfast. He didn't grow much bigger than he was in last year.
Around 8 am Kushina & Mikoto arrived with their children. And they saw what they were trying to do.
Mikoto: Aren't you too young to control you chakra nature?
Sasuke: It was Naruto's idea to do so because the reason I don't understand but I trust his judgment.
Shogo: Are you really that far ahead of us in terms of combat (feeling depressed)?
Sasuke: No we just barely scratch the surface, you can also reach up to our level in no time. There is a whole mountain ahead of us to reach.
Shoko: Is Naruto as strong as you?
Sasuke: Yes, no matter what he says he is ruthless when he gets serious.
Kushina: Where is he?
Sasuke: He is on the lake trying to do the same with water.
Shogo: Don't you mean 'in' the water.
Sasuke: Go ahead and just be careful from Crox, he bites.
Both the siblings with their mother went further leaving Sasuke and his mother alone. They saw Naruto performing his taijutsu style on the water with raising water like a rope till his waist level. From their eyes Naruto looked like an angel with shoulder length hair moving in all directions performing a dance and water was joining him.
Shoko: Wow!
After hearing Shoko's voice Naruto lost his concentration and fell in the water.
Naruto: Note; I get easily distracted while training. Still need to control it like walking on land & water.
Kushina: Are you alright?
Naruto: Water. Is. Cold
Naruto quickly came out of water and wrap himself with towel and rushed towards the bonfire.
Sasuke: You fell huh.
Naruto: Got. Distracted
Sasuke: That is no excuse and you know it.
Naruto: I am not making excuses, just telling you the reason (stuttering).
Sasuke: Oh.
Kushina: You need to change or you'll catch a cold.
With hearing her Naruto quickly ran inside to change his clothes and came out.
Kushina: Did you two, ow!
Crox was trying to chew of her shoes.
Kushina: What the hell is this (raising the little creature)?
Naruto: (In a sorry position) I am sorry for what he did; please don't kill him for his misdeed (about to cry).
Sasuke: He is Crox, he is Naruto's son.
Shoko: Son?
Sasuke: He raised him.
Kushina: Don't worry sweetie I am not going to hurt him because he takes so much good care of you (lifting him up).
Naruto: Thank you.
After a little breakfast they decided to do physical training till lunch. Sasuke was sparing with Shogo and Naruto with Shoko. Shogo was not holding back going all out from the beginning and Sasuke was getting a new experience as he was used to Naruto's fighting style. Similar thing was happening with the other pair but Shoko was having more trouble sparing because she is not used to do more physical.
Kushina & Mikoto was impressed by seeing the taijutsu skills displayed by their son and could only help Shogo & Shoko improving their stances. Kushina knew Naruto & Sasuke were holding back, only problem was they terrible at holding back. Sasuke was not going easy on Shogo by activating his chakra enhancement unconsciously which was again and again stopped by Mikoto. On the other hand Naruto was not hitting back to Shoko fearing he would injure her after seeing Sasuke spar and this only frustrated Shoko as she was not able to land a single hit on him.
When it was lunch time Naruto had already prepared a meal for everyone as good host.
Kushina: Oh shit! He is better cook than me, what if Shoko & Shogo notice this, oh no! He is coming tomorrow I can't serve him my tasteless cooking; he might think I am terrible as a mother.
Shoko & Shogo taste buds have not improved. They still can't tell the difference.
Mikoto: Damn! So good, if only I could enjoy his cooking every day.
Sasuke: I wanted ask where our young siblings is.
Mikoto: Itachi is taking care of them.
Sasuke: All three of them?
Mikoto: Yep.
Sasuke: Why?
Mikoto: Do I really need a reason to make him do something.
Kushina: So where did you learn your taijutsu skills?
Naruto: From Guy sensei.
Kushina: I need to thank him for doing a great job.
Mikoto: Speaking of him why doesn't he train with you guys anymore?
Sasuke: He comes by sometimes as he says there is nothing he can teach us anymore, all we need to do is improve and gain some experience.
Shoko: You two train like this often?
Naruto: Not often but every single day since last year.
Shogo: Well you won't be at the top for long; I'll be top ranking student in our class one day.
Kushina: Speaking of goals why do you all want to be ninja.
Shogo: I want to be the Hokage.
Sasuke: Why?
Shogo: I will be the strongest in the village.
Sasuke: So you want to be Hokage because he is the strongest.
Shogo: Yes and then I can protect everyone in the village.
Naruto: But isn't the job of the Hokage boring?
Kushina: Sweetie it may be boring but it is the most important job in the whole village.
Naruto: Oh but I don't want to be one. Will you hate me for that (looking down at his plate with a sad expression)?
Kushina: You can be whatever you want to be (rubbing his hair).
Sasuke: Well I want to be the strongest Uchiha who ever lived following my own path.
Mikoto: That's a nice goal.
Shoko: I want surpass Princess Tsunade.
Mikoto: Good. And what about you Naruto what are your goals?
Naruto: I want to be rich explorer.
Everyone except Sasuke have a surprised expression on their faces as they did not expect this answer from Naruto.
Kushina: Why do you want to be a rich explorer (hesitated)?
Naruto: Do you not want me to?
Kushina: Just curious.
Naruto: Oh I want to be rich because then I can buy anything I want while exploring the world and unlocking its secrets. To do this I need to be the strongest where I can go on all the 'S' class mission possible earning more money with exploring.
Kushina: That also a nice goal Naruto. Hah, this will not happen while I'm still breathing.
Mikoto: So what do you do at this time?
Sasuke: I learn about genjutsu while Naruto do fuinjutsu.
Kushina: Alright, I will supervise fuinjutsu training and Mikoto will supervise genjutsu training.
Naruto: I have all my equipment in my room. Let me grab them.
Mikoto: I have never seen their study room ever, I am curious (whispered to Kushina).
Kushina: You think we should check it out (whispered to Mikoto)?
With a quick nod they move in with Naruto to their study hall leaving the rest 3 kids outside. What they saw brought horror to their face.
As they entered the room they saw bar build inside the room with wall sized cabinet full of liquor and medium sized cupboard full of picked out weed. On the study table where Naruto was taking his materials they saw a tobacco pipe and not far from it was a sex doll with some scribbling on it.
Kushina & Mikoto were too shocked to see all this and could not speak a single word kept murmuring to themselves that they are only six and where did I go wrong.
Naruto came out of the house with a normal expression but Kushina & Mikoto came out with faces like they have seen a ghost. Then it clicked to Sasuke.
Sasuke: Oh shit.
After 5 minutes absorbing all the information, they were furious. While all the kids were learning far-away they were still at the door.
Kushina: Did you know about this?
Mikoto: I knew about liquor and smoking, I personally made sure they could not buy it again.
Kushina: Then who is trying to spoil our kids (killing-intend leaking)?
Mikoto: I don't know but what I do know is that they got this terrible habit under Kakashi supervision.
Kushina: And what about that hideous monstrosity.
Mikoto: Calm down or you'll scare the kids away. Let's talk to them.
They call upon Naruto & Sasuke for answers.
Kushina: Hey guys we just wanted to ask something about the things we saw in your room.
Mikoto: Yeah, do you smoke and drink things you shouldn't?
Naruto: Yes only to have fun and when I can't think properly I smoke (not having a clue what was wrong since he didn't assault or badmouth anyone this time).
Sasuke: Oh shit, I really should have the talk with him before about this.
Kushina: Sweetie you shouldn't do this it's a bad habit, it can cause you illness (trying to reason with them calmly as there was no one to tell him right or wrong and that Kakashi didn't stop them in time)
Naruto: Don't worry about it our organs will remain safe plus it was all for a jutsu I have been trying to create for assassination in future missions.
Sasuke & Mikoto: What?
Naruto: Sometimes we get a mission to eliminate the enemy with looking like an accident but now any well-known ninja could tell if it is accident or not but what if we made it look like a disease or medical illness. No one could easily tell unless they were a princess Tsunade level medical expert.
Kushina: (Now curious) how does this work?
Naruto: Each time I smoke the smoke travels towards my lungs and it form a mixture of black in color which damages lungs if they were in contact. With the help of the chakra I can extract it before it reaches my lungs and then I got the poison which could even cause cancer, inject it in lungs and that person will die within seconds with the cause of death smoking. Same goes for liver, cause of death liver failure.
Kushina: But to perform this you need to have the best chakra control.
Naruto: Remember we were having problem with not enhancing our body that was because it is our second habit to use it to use it all day like breathing.
Kushina: Have you tried it?
Naruto: Only on animals.
Kushina: (Sighing in defeat for not able to stop his bad habit rather getting impressed in using it to his advantage) I'll allow you to use it with moderation under our supervision and monthly checkup. Only then you are allowed got it. I don't want you die because of some disease that you caused it yourself.
Sasuke: Deal (happy).
Mikoto: Okay we are going to the hospital next thing after new Hokage selection. But I was also curious about that model I saw in your room.
Sasuke: We asked for Itachi to buy us anatomical model but instead he bought us that telling us that we can use it for study and other things in the future too, right Naruto (glaring at him, not to tell them the truth that it was their mistake)?
Naruto quickly nodded agreeing with Sasuke.
Mikoto: Don't worry about Itachi, he is a dead meat (whispered to Kushina).
Kushina: Alright enough with this interrogation, let's do what we came here to do.
Naruto: Shoko & Shogo wanted to learn fuinjutsu.
Kushina: Is that so; then let's teach them together.
They train together till it was evening and Mikoto dragged Kushina telling Shoko & Shogo that they were going to see their mother during dinner tonight because they are going to have a party for her return.
Naruto: Where were you after we were born?
Kushina: I was on 'S' class mission to protect you (making up a lie on the spot).
Naruto: Okay.
With that they left and after some time Shoko & Shogo also left to their home to meet the infants and father.
Shopping District (Before Dinner)
Kakashi was running while bleeding turning his silver hair red like the person chasing him with the chains screaming that he spoiled her baby.
Uchiha Residence
Similar screams were heard by Itachi as he was being chased by his mother because he was set up by his brother for an ass kicking.
Hokage's Mansion (After children went asleep)
Kushina: Honey, you will prepare and teleport food for us to eat during weekend, okay.
Minato: Why?
Kushina: You weren't there. Naruto prepared us a finger licking meal that would make you overeat (making a drooling face remembering the taste).
Minato: Okay but you don't have to rub it in my face (he ran to his room crying).
Kushina: Idiot.
