Hello guys, additionally, I want to wish you a Happy New Year. I hope you get everything that you wanted for Christmas. Thank you to everyone who took the time to read the 4th chapter and left a comment. I was pretty nervous about releasing it. It turned out I was worried for nothing. And a question for you all: how long do you want upcoming chapters? I was thinking about 6k or 7k words. But I want to know your opinion. Enjoy the 5th chapter. :) And have a nice day. :D
I don't own rights to Naruto or Persona 5. All rights go to their creators.
"Kurama…? "Naruto said with restlessness in his voice. But before he got any answer back. Some loud and young voice brought him back to reality.
"What was all that anyways? That castle, and Kamoshida, and that weird cat! The hell's goin' on!? "Ryuji yelled. Because of this, a few passersby looked at them like fools. Sakamoto's yelling also did not escape the police's attention. The officers walked right to the trio.
"Yeah… Like we don't have enough problems. Alright, we can get out of this situation. Just don't let Ryuji open his mouth. It will also be a good chance to learn any information about that castle. "Namikaze thought about his upcoming steps.
"What's with the yelling? Are you a students of Shujin? Cutting classes, are we? "The officer asked grumpily. The loud blonde was about to answer.
"Huh? No! We-Gah! "Ryuji wanted to continue, but he felt a pain in his right leg. Like somebody stomped on his toes, that someone was Naruto. Sakamoto started to jump on one leg and hold his hurt one comically.
"No, of course not officers. We are sorry, but my cousin is here. He had something with his leg this morning, as you can see. So I took him to a doctor; it was nothing serious. And this guy is new in Shujin; he got lost. Now we are all heading to the school. "The blue-eyed boy lied to the police. The aggressive officer sharpened and looked at Naruto. The officer measured him from head to toe. Ryuji finally stopped jumping around and was shocked at how quickly the boy came up with this. Kurusu stood there calmly and was looking at the scene.
"Is that truth, young man? "The timid officer asked Akira.
"Yes, it is. You know, this is what it looks like when the country boy is in the city. "The transfer student joked. However, the police did not find it amusing. The calmer blonde student decided to ask to get their attention.
"If I may ask? Do you know anything about theater in Shujin? It should be a drama about one cruel false king and his gothic castle from around the 13th century. "The young ninja questioned the police officers.
"We passed by Shujin on our way here. There was nothing about this theater that you described. "The less aggressive officer replied.
"Then it must be next month. My schedule is most likely mixed up. Thanks, officer. "Naruto said with a fake smile and scratched his head.
"Whatever. Now go to your school, or we will contact your school. Is that what you want? "The aggressive policeman said, or more like ordered the trio. But the students were not intimated by his words. The boys started to walk the way they did before and ended up in Kamoshida's castle. Naruto felt that officers were still watching them. Once they were out of their reach, Ryuji started to yell quietly at his long-haired friend.
"Hey! What was that back there?! Did you have to stomp so hard?! "Sakamoto said as quietly as possible but also angrily. Namikaze stopped in his walking and turned around to his loud blonde friend.
"You were about to start talking about that castle, Kamoshida, and Morgana. Right the moment those two spotted us, how YOU were yelling. So tell me, what wodo you think would happen if you DID tell them? "Naruto replied firmly and logically.
"Well, I… I don't know… Maybe they-"
"They would immediately think that we are taking drugs or that we've gone crazy. Or maybe, in the worst-case scenario, they would arrest us. But at least we know one thing for sure. "The hero of Leaf explained.
"The castle, Morgana, everything we saw there… We three were the only ones who did... "Akira trailed off with a calm voice.
"Okay! Fine! I get it! Now, let's get this over with! "Ryuji exclaimed. The loud blonde was about to head on; however, the spiky blonde-haired boy stopped in his tracks.
"I am not finished yet! "Namikaze blurted quietly at his about-to-leave friend. Sakamoto turned his gaze back at Naruto. So, the shinobi continues.
"We can't tell what happened to us to anyone. Not now, at least. Especially YOU, Ryuji! The whisker-boy said sternly.
"Fine! I get it! "The problematic student agreed. With these words, Ryuji continued down the alley. The blonde boy was leaving the other two boys behind.
"Naruto, you do know that those t wouldn't arrest us, even if they would want to, right? "Kurusu pointed it out and whispered it in his ear.
"I know that, but Ryuji doesn't. "Naruto replied with a confident smirk on his face and went on. Akira laughed at Naruto's point and followed right behind him.
Later
Location: Shujin Academy, Aoyama-Itchome, Time: Lunchtime, Date: 11th April
The trio finally arrived at their actual school, where it should stand. Sakamoto was shocked by this change, not as when seeing the castle. Kurusu and Namikaze were not as shocked as their loud-mouth friend.
"Is this for real…? I'm sure we came the same way… What's goin' on here…? "Ryuji stated, shocked but also relieved that everything was normal.
"That's exactly what I wanted to ask you. We received a call from the police. "The unknown voice said annoyingly. That voice was one of the counselors from Shujin Academy. The counselor stood with his arms crossed right by the entrance to the school.
"Snitches! "The trio thought the same thing.
"It's rare not to see you alone. But what is more rare is that Namikaze is roaming around with you. And even a transfer student. So where were you three around until the time? "The counselor continued with his interrogation.
"As it happens, I ran into an old lady in trouble on my way here, and then a black cat crossed my way. So I had to take around the entire block to wash away my bad luck. "Naruto lied with a calm voice, just like Kakashi with his excuses for being late the whole time. He never actually thought that he would have to use it. Akira and Ryuji sweatdropped when they heard it. In comparison, the counselor raised an eyebrow as a gesture of distrust.
"So, you have no intention of giving an honest answer? Honestly, I don't get why Mr. Kamoshida is so interested in you, Namikaze. "The counselor replied at his poor excuse. At that moment somebody walked out of the school.
"Is something wrong here? "The newcomer's voice said. That someone was Suguru Kamoshida himself. The trio was shocked when they saw a man who had tried to kill them not that long ago. The PE teacher went to the edge of the stairs. Naruto was not sure what to expect from him. Nevertheless, he knew one thing for sure: what their teacher did in the castle to the trio wouldn't happen in a public place and before witnesses.
"K-Kamoshida!? "Ryuji exclaimed unbelievably with his open mouth. How could someone who tried to take the trio's lives walk up and act like nothing happened? It was ridiculous for the red-eyed student.
"You seem so carefree, Sakamoto. Quite a difference from when you did morning practice for the track team. "Kamoshida mocked with a venom smile Sakamoto right where it hurt him the most.
"Shuddup! It's your fault that-"Ryuji wanted to shout at his PE teacher. Moreover, the boy stopped when he felt Naruto's hand on his shoulder. Sakamoto turned his gaze at his friend, who shook his head. Then, he put his hand away from his shoulder.
"At least there is someone between you who knows not to pick battles they cannot win. There's not much leeway left for you, you know? Do you really want to be expelled!? "Counselor exclaimed angrily.
"No… "Sakamoto trailed off defeatily.
"Good! But in any case, you'll have to explain yourself! Follow me! You, the transfer student, go to the faculty office! And Namikaze, you go to your class! "The counselor ordered annoyingly to the students. Suddenly, Kamoshida intervened.
"Come now, I should have been more considerate, too. Let's say that we were both to blame. Besides that, we should not be so strict with one of our best students, Namikaze-kun. "The PE teacher said with a smile on his face. But Naruto knew better; this was a smile he had seen multiple times. Fake smile.
"Well, if you say so… Still, you're coming with me, Sakamoto. It's undeniable that you're extremely late. And you two, do as I said! "The man with glasses ordered sternly. The students were about to go upstairs to the school when the teacher spoke again and looked at the boy with the glasses.
"By the way… You're that new transfer student, correct? Akira Kurusu? "The black-haired man asked. The called student nodded. Sakamoto, who couldn't stand Kamoshida, followed the counselor into the school. Before Ryuji went on, he looked at the guy he despised the most. The boy's look was full of hostility and anger. Kamoshida just smirked triumphantly. The loud boy entered the building rather than spend another second with this man. Suguru turned back at two students.
"Kurusu, I am sure you've heard from the principal, but cause any trouble, and you'll be expelled. From the kindness of my heart… I'll overlook this just for today. "Kamoshida said.
"Understand and thank you… "Akira trailed off.
"My pleasure. At any rate, do as you must do. Ms. Kawakami's tired of waiting. And good luck trying to enjoy your new school life. "The PE teacher said with a fake smile. Naruto also could not stand his teacher's presence. The two students went right to the entrance doors.
"Namikaze, on a few words. "The black-haired man called. Naruto stopped in his tracks. He turned his look to the man. Akira walked in.
"Yes, Mr. Kamoshida? "Naruto said politely as much as he could.
"You know, when someone is extending a helping hand to others, they usually say: "Thank you for helping me. "Or your mommy did not teach you how to behave to your teachers? Oh, I am sorry, I forgot. "Kamoshida mocked arrogantly. Namikaze wanted to punch his disgusting face for bringing his mother into this. The blond boy clenched his fist as much as he could. Did he forget? As if! Kamoshida tended to mention things that were hurtful to others. This prick tortured others not just physically but also emotionally. Especially when things did not go the way HE wanted. Sadly, the whisker-boy promised his boss to behave himself no matter what. Naruto was not a hot-headed who rushed into every battle. He was not like that anymore. With that, he released his fist.
"I am sorry, Mr. Kamoshida, but I haven't noticed you helped me. That would be lying. Next time you help me, I can say: "Thank you for helping me. "But now, excuse me. "Naruto replied. With these words, the boy went to his class, leaving his teacher surprised and angry.
The trio's late arrival spread throughout the school among students and teachers. At the same time, walked right to his classroom. The blonde-haired boy could hear talks about him, Ryuji, and Akira. Not like he was paying attention to them. He never much did. Finally, Namikaze arrived where he needed to be, the classroom 2-D. He walked right in. Some of them noticed that the boy had come in. However, almost none of his classmates greeted him or said hello. Not that it mattered to him. So he did just as he usually went to the desk to sit down, located on the left part at the back by the room window. Just as the boy sat down and let out a long sigh, someone covered his eyes.
"Guess who? "Said a girl's voice. It was not hard at all. Only one person in the entire class and maybe the whole school would do that to Naruto.
"Hi, Ann. "Namikaze answered politely. The young shinobi had already enough for one day. He took her hands off his eyes. That was a mistake for the boy because the blonde girl grabbed his hands and went in front of him to stand before him. Those who were still in the classroom watched the scene. They were whispering among themselves something about Ann acting like a bitch and that Namikaze was probably enjoying Kamoshida's girl's company.
"Hi, handsome. And for the correct answer, you deserve a little reward according to your choice. "Takamaki said happily and smiled brightly. She took her right hand to touch his face while she closed her hand into his own. Sadly, the blonde-haired teen did not do the same. The whisker-boy did not mind her touching his hand and face. Her touches were gentle and warm, but the boy knew this was one of her attempts to seduce him. Anything was better than thinking about Kamoshida.
"Then tell me, what have I missed today? "Namikaze asked tiredly but decided to play along. Ann was a little disappointed by his question.
"Really? Of all the things you could ask for, was this among them? Well, bore, bore, and much more of boredom. Besides that, most people talked about you, Sakamoto, and that new transfer student. "Ann replied, although she had seen something and felt something was wrong with him.
"But you look tired. Did that new guy do something to you? "The blonde-haired girl asked worriedly. Probably after a long time, Ann acted normally as a friend. The blue-eyed boy was a little taken aback by her sudden change in mood. Although, he couldn't tell her anything about the castle and broke eye contact.
"No, I… "The shinobi wanted to tell her something; regardless, the school bells startedringing. Everyone began to return to their respective desk. Ann let go of him disappointingly, but before she returned, the girl said one more thing to Naruto.
"Shiho says hi. "The half Japanese and half-American girl said with a little smile. After that, she turned her face to the board. Namikaze smiled at these words that he heard just now. He did not talk with her for too long. However, his thoughts were interrupted when Ms. Kawakami walked in with Akira behind her. Kurusu's eyes managed to find his friend. They both smiled at each other. The teacher and the transfer student stood before the entire class. Almost the whole class chitter between themselves about his super late first day, how he looked like, his leaked criminal record, and so on. The young woman had enough of this.
"Settle down everyone. I want to introduce a transfer student, Akira Kurusu. Today, we… had him attend from the afternoon on since he wasn't feeling well. Now, please say something to the class. "The teacher explained and introduced the transfer student. The boy with the glasses was a little uneasy with everyone's gaze. Naruto saw that coming.
"I am… My name is Akira Kurusu. Nice to meet you all. "The black-haired boy said nervously. Anyway, his introduction launched another wave of whispering. It was awkward for young teachers to let the entire class do as they wanted.
"Quiet class! ...Uhh, so… Your seat will be… Hmm… Over there. Right behind Namikaze-kun. And please, can the people nearby share your textbooks with him for today? "The brunette teacher asked and pointed to the seat behind Naruto. Students who sat closer to Akira were not that happy about this situation. Kurusu went from the blackboard to the back of the classroom. The students that the black-haired boy passed by moved a bit away from him as if he were dusty. But two blonde students did not do such an act. Something happened when the boy with glasses was close to the blonde girl.
"...Lies, I saw you. "Takamaki whispered. The new classmate stopped and looked at her, but she avoided any eye contact with him. He was confused by her words. Naruto was unsure if it was because of their last conversation or something different. The dark-haired student moved on; then, he saw his new friend. Both of them nodded at each other. And Akira finally sat down on a chair. Although Ann's words and Naruto's interaction did not escape the students who sat nearby. The two short-haired students chitter about topics like Takamaki cheating on Kamoshida with Namikaze and now with a new guy, which could also make her a criminal and whore at the same time. Others joked that Takamaki cannot be satisfied by one man. Some students started to think that he was a school more for criminals. Kawakami saw that and continued.
"Right! The volleyball rally's in two days… Everyone's just changed classes, so make sure you use that time to get to know each other. And now, let's get class started. Who's on duty today? "Sadayo said and asked. One student raised his hand. This student was likely of average height or shorter, with spiky blue-tinted black hair, black eyes, and a relatively "average" face. However, this boy was one of the members of the volleyball team. The boy's face was fairly injured, and his left arm was wrapped in bandages. Those were the results of his volleyball training. The student wore Shujin Academy's standard winter uniform, sans the blazer, with the shirt untucked, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and suspenders off his shoulders. He also had white tennis shoes with green accents. This boy was Yuuki Mishima.
Time: After the school
The school bell rang, meaning that the last class of school just ended. All students were prepared for departure. Some students stayed a little longer for chit-chat. With a friendly smile, Akira returned his textbooks to Naruto because he was the only one who willingly shared his books with the transfer student.
"Thanks, Naruto. You helped me a lot today. Tomorrow, I am gonna have everything I need, hopefully. "Kurusu thanked his blonde friend.
"It was nothing. Come on, we should get- "Namikaze replied in a friendly tone but wanted to continue if he wasn't interrupted. Their class teacher walked the duo.
"Namikaze-kun. Please come with me; we need to discuss what happened today. And Kurusu, please head straight home without stopping by anywhere. Sakura-san sounded pretty angry. Oh, and if I can give you advice, don't get involved with Sakamoto-kun. "Kawakami advised. The blonde-haired boy nodded. Before the blue-eyed student left, he whispered to the boy with glasses.
"Wait for me here. I still want to speak with you. "Naruto said. The frizzy-haired boy nodded in agreement. The whisker boy picked up his belongings, and the student and teacher left the classroom.
Location: Faculty office
Naruto and Kawakami arrived at the office. Beside them, no one else was there in the room. The young woman put down her grade book and her notebook. She turned her look to the shinobi. Naruto has not had any problems with her in the past. He dared to say she was one of the teachers who were normal and trustworthy but also tired. Not arrogant, annoyed, or hostile. And because of this, the boy tried as much as he wanted not to cause her problems. This was the first time she called him here. The brunette teacher gave a long sigh and sat on her chair. The woman turned her look on her student.
„Please sit down, Namikaze-kun." Sadayo said tiredly. The boy did as she asked him to.
"So, talk... "The teacher said.
"I am sorry for being late today. "
"Okay, that is a good start… Go on. "Sadayo gestured to continue. However, Naruto has decided not to. He sat motionless, still without a word. Between them was an awkward silence for a few seconds.
"Nothing? Namikaze-kun, listen. I want to help you, but I can't do that, if you don't speak with me. "
"I know that you want to. Even if I did say, you wouldn't believe me. Because even I don't understand it either. "Naruto avoided the answer. He could tell he was originally shinobi from a different world sent here by an evil goddess. Today, Akira and Ryuji almost died in Kamoshida's castle, which they ended up unknowingly. Did that not sound ridiculous? The brunette-haired sighed again at his answer. She tried to be nice and help him but had enough for today.
"Fine. I thought… It doesn't matter. Look, even though you had troubles in the past with the law, like Kurusu. I am going to overlook it. But don't do that anymore… "Sadayo trailed off. Namikaze smiled and nodded gratefully. Nevertheless, there was one more thing the boy wanted to know.
"I am grateful to you, Ms. Kawakami. But there is something that has been bugging me off for quite a while.
"Yes? "
"How did my and Akira's criminal records get leaked onto the internet? Do you know anything about it? "
"I am not the one who told them back then and now. But if I should take a guess, then it would be a work of one student. "
"And what if it was someone from teachers? "
"Where are you getting with this? "Kawakami said, pretty annoyed.
"I am not accusing you or anything like that. I am trying to say that there are two new students who didn't even step into the school before, and the entire Shujin knew about their criminal records. This doesn't seem like a coincidence but more like work from someone who wanted to hurt us. "The blue-eyed boy explained logically. After hearing the boy's words, the teacher crossed her arms and thought briefly.
"I can't say that doesn't make sense, but you have no proof whatsover. "
"Doesn't mean I don't have suspects. "The boy thought.
"And I probably won't find it either… Thanks though for hearing me out… May I go? "Naruto asked defeatingly.
"You may go. And I am sorry that I could not help you. Before you go, I also called Iwai-san, and he was taken aback about your late arrival. "Kawakami apologized and told him what to expect at the shop.
"It's alright. Thanks for letting me know. Bye. "Namikaze stood up from the chair and left the office. Right after he closed the doors behind himself, a notification arrived on his cell phone. He pulled the device out of the trousers. The message was from Ryuji.
Naruto's and Ryuji's chat
Ryuji: Yo, I am with Akira right now. We are waitin' for you on the rooftop. We've got to talk.
Naruto: On my way.
The blonde-haired teen pulled the phone back to where it was. He heard for the first time that people in this world don't use pigeons for communications at great distances, but these little devices. He thought that someone was pulling his leg. Sure, shinobis had radios like headphones for missions for short distances, but nothing like this. Namikaze could feel a slight similarity compared with Yamanaka's clan techniques. People in this world, with its technologies, could easily be put in some shinobi world Jutsu pocket, and most Justus could do the same.
"Looks like Ryuji is eager to speak with us. I should go to see what's up. "
Naruto went to his meeting with the boys. However, before turning around the corner, he heard Kamoshida and the principal talking with each other. The blonde-haired teen hid behind the corner and listened.
"Why did you allow another student with a criminal record to transfer here? He's already started associating with Sakamoto. "The former Olympic victor said.
"Now, don't be like that… This school counts on you, Kamoshida-kun. You are our star. " Kobayakawa said desperately.
"At this rate, it'd be pointless how much I contribute to the school. Unless...
"Unless? "
"Unless I could build a volleyball team with the best students. And I think you know, where I am going with this. "The PE teacher replied. The principal knew exactly what he meant.
"You still want to recruit Namikaze. As I already told you in the past, even as principal, I can't force students into something that they are not interested in. No matter if they have a talent or not. Besides, he is not the only student in the Shujin. "The bold principal explained seriously when the blue-eyed teen heard that; he smirked, for the shinobi knew that this answer pissed him off.
"Sorry, prick. I am not somekind a punching bag, I am someone who gives punches. They don't call me "The Wild Fox "for nothing. "Naruto thought confidently.
"*Sigh* All right, I understand. Well then, I'll continue to do my best to answer your expectations of me. "Kamoshida replied with a smile disappointedly. The teacher and principal then went both separately. Luckily, neither of them managed to spot the listening student.
Location: Rooftop
The rooftop was one of the places that were strict with the students. Naruto and
"I heard that you got also a criminal record. Everyone's talkin' about it. No wonder you were so gutsy. "Ryuji said., who sat on an old folding chair.
"Yeah… Naruto warned me that this will happen… So you are saying that I am not the only criminal here? "Akira replied jokily. At that moment, the doors to the rooftop opened.
"Speaking of devil… Hey man. "Sakamoto greeted his fellow blonde friend. Naruto moved closer to the duo.
"Hey, you two. So, did you call us here to talk about what happened today? "Naruto questioned. Kurusu listened too.
"Yeah… Like, what was all that that happened? You know, how we almost got killed at a castle… It wasn't a dream...right? Guys, you remember it too, yeah? "The red-eyed teen asked worriedly. Both questioned teens nodded.
"It was not a dream, Ryuji. That was real. "The boy with glasses answered.
"Yeah… I mean, even if it was a dream, you two saved me from Kamoshida. So… Thanks, Akira, Naruto. "Sakamoto thanked them both.
"I really didn't that much, if it wasn't for Naruto. Who knew what would have happened. "Akira said shamefully.
"Don't be so hard on yourself. You fought well. Besides that, we managed to get out of Kamoshida's castle safely, and that's what matters most. "Namikaze cheered up his new friend, although Sakamoto decided to continue.
"Okay, but that Kamoshida we saw there… "The loud blonde student trailed off.
"Sorry to interrupt you, but can you tell me something more about him? Sounds like you two have a history with him. "Kurusu asked curiously. Blonde-haired boys looked at each other to see who would start, then returned their gaze to the transfer student. The first who went was Naruto.
"Kamoshida is a PE teacher and the medalist who took the volleyball team to nationals. The school has major popularity thanks to him. In reality, he is an arrogant, cruel, fake, selfish, perverted prick, especially when things are not going his way. He's been trying to get me into his volleyball team for a while now. Never succeeded and never will. The volleyball team is easily recognizable by their bruises all over their faces. I think you saw a few of them. They are all bullied by him. "Naruto explained as calmly as possible. Kurusu´s had eyes wided.
"If this is true, why did not anybody reported him? "Akira asked unbelievably.
"It's like Naruto said. No one said anything against him, let alone reported him to the police 'cause he took the volleyball team to nationals. And the way Kamoshida was king of that castle felt crazy real 'case of that… "Sakamoto finished for his friend. The boy with glasses tried to process everything he heard. Everything was a lot to take in. There was a silence within the group for a few seconds. Out of nowhere, Sakamoto talked.
"...I wonder if we can go back to that castle again… "The problematic student muttered loudly, and then he wanted. Kurusu and Namikaze were surprised by his words.
"Ugh, forget it. Sorry to drag you out here like this. I fell like we're gonna get along just fine as "troublemakers. "Let's talk again tommorow. Seeya. "Ryuji explained and left the duo alone. Naruto sighed.
"You'll get used to him. He's the just type who first talks and then thinks. But he's not bad. "The blonde-haired boy said. The transfer student smiled a little bit on this.
"I thought so too. Anyway I have to go. I don't want to have to provocked my boss more than I have to. Thanks again for today. "Kurusu said.
"Same; let's talk tomorrow. "Naruto replied. With that, the boys left Shujin Academy.
Later
Location: Untochouable, Shibuya, Time: Evening, Date: 11th April
The young shinobi arrived at his destination. In the shop Untochouable, there waited a pretty unpleasant talk with Iwai. Namikaze opened the door and walked in. In the shop, there were no customers. No surprises since it was rather late. Besides, one owner stood up and crossed his hands.
"Well, well, well… Look who's finally decided to show up. "Iwai said annoyingly.
"Hey, boss. How it went today? "Naruto asked jokily. Unfortunately, the boss did not find it funny at all. And slapped his hand on the table. The boy was startled.
"Don't bullshit me, kid! I know that you did not arrive to the school. Why do you think that you started to going there? That reason starts with a K. "
"Kaneshiro, I know! But I wasn't alone if that is what you want to ask! "Naruto shouted back. Iwai thought a little bit; what did he hear?
"Don't tell me that you have grown a pair of balls and finally asked that blonde chick for a date! What was her name again? "Munehisa said and started to laugh. Sometimes, the boy regretted telling his boss about Ann's endless seduction. If only he kept his mouth off.
"Her name is Ann, and no, I didn't have a date… "Naruto replied grumpily and tiredly. Iwai saw that which was unusual for him.
"Shame, because I would even forgive you that. Now, enough with the jokes. Look, I don't know what happened and if you don't want to tell me where did you spend your time a half day. That is fine. Moreover, you are going to wash up floor as punishment. Got it? "Iwai suggested.
"What if I have homeworks? "
"Your problem kid. Should have thought about it earlier. "
"Got it. I'll get it done. "
"Good. Now if you are gonna excuse. Me and Kaoru are going for dinner. Do you want me to bring you something aftewards? "Iwai asked.
"Thanks, but I am not hungry. Thanks for askin' though. Say hi to Kaoru for me and good night. "Naruto said and smiled.
"Suit yourself then. Will do. Night and don't forget to lock yourself. "Iwai, with his usual, smirked. The boss after that left the shop. Namikaze was not in the mood for cleaning, but he thought it would be worse for the punishment. It took one hour for the whisker-boy to clean up the entire floor. Naruto completed his punishment. It left Naruto to lock the doors, change his clothes, and go to bed. The former hero of Leaf had a lot to think about while lying in bed. Castle, Kamoshida, Ann, Kurama, Akira. And with all those thoughts. The boy fell asleep.
"Naruto. "
