Disclaimer I own neither Naruto or the legend of Korra.
Sunlight filtered through the forest canopy, painting the floor with golden hues. Birds were singing, leaves rustling, and the air was filled with the scent of trees and wildflowers. It was a serene oasis inviting you to bask in nature's embrace.
That is if you didn't have kids anyway.
"Dad! Dad! Watch me do a back flip!" Boruto screamed as he ran towards Naruto Himawari hot on his tails.
"Noooo! Boruto is stealing my things daddy! I could do it first!" She launched into him glaring at her brother.
"No! I could to it first!"
"No me!"
"No me!"
"No me!"
"No me!"
"Kids!" Naruto raised his voice a tad getting them to settle down. It wasn't that he felt they were doing something that needed reprimand however they were progressively shouting even higher than he thought possible and nearly ruptured his ear drum!
They were in his arms after all.
"How about this? You both show me what you can do and I'll watch okay?" He pushed them away allowing them to settle it on their own.
'Hopefully they'll burn up that Bijju like energy they have! Goodness.' Naruto sighed internally.
It was getting mentally exhausting. It seemed their activity was sky rocketing when they came out of their slump and he was dreading every extra day knowing.
Of course he had never once thought about using shadow clones to shirk off his duties. While they were him technically it didn't feel right to do so when he could just do it himself. Even if it costed him some sanity.
No one said being a dad was a easy job.
'Actually being a dad is a very easy job' He smiled looking down with soft smile before shaking his head. No need to get into those kind of thoughts here.
'It's being a good dad that is the hard part.' He mused watching them get into position.
Any guy could become a father if he played his cards right. It was after that decided if you were worth it or not.
"Daddy look!" Himawari got his attention as she did a...cartwheel?
Naruto perking up in confusion looked towards Boruto who also shouted "Look look!" Before nearly falling flat onto his face.
Nearly.
A gust of wind had gently pushed him up before impact and he had landed gently giggling at the wind in his face.
Naruto smiling at the sound, frowned internally at his action.
'Have they ever gotten hurt around me? Isn't this bad?' He had very complicated thoughts on the matter.
He didn't known if saving them from every single pain was the right thing. Weren't you suppose to learn how to navigate the world by pain and consequences? So how would they turn out if he protected them from every little thing?
These little things concerned Naruto. He had no one to ask these questions to or consult with. They didn't write about these kind of things either.
Deep in thought Naruto looked down at the grass dragging it through his fingers feeling the texture.
Looking foward hearing the squeals his eyes widened seeing the glowing floating ... bunny flies?
'Why the hell do bunnies have fly wings? Is this some kind of crossbreeding again?' He thought to himself amused at the creatures.
This place never ceased to amaze him. How this was even possible didnt even cross his mind anymore.
He was quickly integrating with the weirdness that was this world. Surprisingly he was okay with that. For some reason this place felt a bit more peaceful than Konoha ever did to him.
Glancing to the side for a second, he smiled before looking towards his kids playing with the spirits again.
"Jinora? Good morning." He said to the kid. He wasn't suprised to see her accompanying these little guys knowing she already had the same ability as him.
"Mr. Naruto good morning!" She responded gladly sitting with her legs under and to the side of her watching the kids play with a smile on her lips.
Her eyes were shining too as she realized they could see the spirits. They hadn't materialized after all!
Feeling the vibrating girl beside him Naruto chuckled a bit. He could feel the sheer curiosity coming off from her as if wanting to personally pick his brain apart.
'Was I like that when I was younger? Oh how the times change.' The young man not even 20 shook his acting like he was some kind of old man.
He knew his trademark enthusiasm for most things had burnt out when he grew up becoming more focused and sharpened.
Now? He did not think he could find the slightest joy if it did not concern his kids. That past events made sure of it, staining his soul and mind to be in perpetual grief.
'Well I guess that isn't a bad thing. I'd be a awful parent if I was still so immature.' He allowed the breeze to carry the grasses he plucked into the wind watching as they left.
He was a bit envious at her ability to be excited for something as little as this. On the other hand he was happy to see a kid being a kid. What a intresting duality.
'Duality?' Naruto face faulted feeling a deep shiver run through him.
'I need to stop thinking so much. I don't even recognize my self anymore.' Glancing at the girl who was still holding in her inquisition Naruto shook his head.
"Jinora you look like you're about to explode. Take a breath in and talk to me. I'm not going anywhere nor do I mind the questions." He scratched his head.
He didn't realise when or know how she got the impression that he would be against her asking questions.
Of course Naruto wouldn't know unlike his perception in the Elemental Nations as a reliable goofball with a big heart and temper to match he was viewed in a entirely different spectrum here.
Stoic yet willing to break the act to play into jokes. Responsible and kind by the condition of his children and the way he treated them and the avatar family.
Not greedy either as he came so far to transfer the bison when he did not need to.
While they did not actively think of all these things their subconscious linked these terms to him and they treated him as such.
Breathing out at the permission she gulped in air before asking "Do you think this spirit affinity is hereditary?" She looked at the kids again to emphasize her point.
Naruto nodded in showing his agreement. " It seems so doesn't? I doubt a couple of kids would be able to see things others who've tried to do it their lives couldn't. If it wasn't hereditary what else could it be?"
Nodding at the reaffirmation she questioned "Then why are my siblings unable to do so? We can all airbend so..?"
Massaging his legs feeling them stiff Naruto answered " Maybe it just doesn't have anything to do with airbending then." He gave her a hint to answer. He was sure she'd figure it out herself.
"So your saying this is some new kind of bending or a derivative of another? Like metal or blood?" She placed her hand onto her chin holding it as she thought about it her eyes wide.
"I have no clue. Though it does sound like the most likely reason." He got up walking to the children who began following the spirits.
Quickly getting up Jinora followed him like a baby duck still wanting to know more of his thoughts on the matter. If he said it was okay then she wouldn't hold back!
"So have you found out how to do anything else with your power?" She asked him curious. If it was bending then it should have more than one use than simply seeing spirits right?
It only made sense. She did after thinking about it realised it would be foolish if this spirit bending was tied only tied to air bending. That meant it was a completely undiscovered way of bending!
And like all bending that mean it had alot of possibilities!
Almost shaking his head instinctively Naruto stopped. He did not know why he was trying to hide it. It wasn't as if he did anything wrong nor was this kid being malicious in asking.
'Hmm I'm more closed off than I thought.' He realised unhappily.
Determined not to become so, knowing it would harm his kids he tried opening up.
"I have actually. What's your opinion on spirits do you think they're all good?"
"No. Of course not! Just like humans they're can be good or bad spirits." She immediately responded without hesitation.
Nodding Naruto said "I met one of these 'bad' spirits before and what did you think I did to them?"
Sweating a bit she looked at him" You killed them?"
Naruto shook head "No. Actually you can see for yourself. The same little guy who came with us, was what you can consider a 'bad' spirit."
"Ah! You mean Julien!" She exclaimed remebering the excitable Lemur before blushing realising she let the name slip.
Naruto sounded out the name Julien before looking at her weirdly. He thought she was the least quirky of her siblings. He was wrong.
"Mr Naruto! It is completely fine to name them! Please don't look at me like a crazy!" She slouched deeper feeling her evaluation go down in his eyes.
That was the last thing she wanted.
Stopping a bit of way from his children Naruto made sure there was nothing around to harm them before adressing her.
"Don't worry about. I named my plants back when I was your age afterall. I've got no room to jugde." He revealed wanting her to take her mind off it.
Perking up at the bit he let slip she asked "What did you name it Mr Naruto. "
Blinking at the curiosity he simply responded "Ukki. His name was Ukki."
"Ukki. Hmm that's less weird than your name Mr.Naruto!" She told him feeling a bit mischievous. He did not seem as stern as he looked so she thought it'd be okay.
"My name is weird? Really? I think Jinora is more weird no?" He immediately responded back not letting her off.
"What's weird about Jinora?!"
"I don't know sounds like some kind of fruit doesn't? Jin-ora, orange sounds the same to me." Naruto spouted some bullshit not really believing it. He wasn't the one who needed to however.
While Jinora was contemplating existence Naruto glanced at the sun before realizing he didn't have the slightest clue what time it was. Or how to tell time via sun.
'Would be a cool skill to have ' He thought deciding to learn it.
Deciding it was better safe than sorry he called both kids to come back. It was time they stopped imposing onto their guest and deal with their own issues.
"Boruto! Hima! Come back it's time to go home!" He shouted out startling Jinora something fierce not knowing he had such a loud voice.
It was really shocking.
Kneeling as the toddlers came he opened his arms as they leaped towards him before he stood up with them in his arms.
'Toddlers? Only in name I guess. ' He smirked proud when he saw where they lept from.
'Sorry honey but that's from my side of the family!' He amused himself at the thought feeling as if she was right beside him shaking her head in fondness.
Smiling as he turned around he frowned seeing the sad look on the girl.
"You're leaving so soon Mr. Naruto? " She said aloud the silent, but I have so many questions being conveyed well.
Nodding a bit Naruto informed her" Unfortunately I need to get back home so these guys can get adjusted somewhere. Can't have them being up and about all the time. That isn't good."
While he knew his words wouldn't be well received he fortunately realized it wasn't all fun and games. He'd be doing a disservice to his kids and wife if he allowed his curiosity to stop him from providing for his children.
"No No! I was suggesting that!" She shook her hands infront of her panicking at the thought.
Shaking his head with a smile Naruto began walking foward ignoring the children making faces to the spirits behind him.
"You're a good kid Jinora. When I get back you can come over to visit. I'd love talking about spirits with you." He patted her on the head keeping his pace. He knew she was quite smart so she should figure out what that all meant.
Smiling widely a step behind the man she hummed letting him know eveything he needed.
"What did you do to Julien Mr. Naruto?"
"Hmm I guess you can say I purified him? He seemed to be corrupted by some kind of source so I guess that's the correct term." He mused aloud.
"Purify?" She tilted her head at the term.
"Yep. Worked like a charm."
"So where do you live Mr-"
"I said you can call me Naruto Jinora? I guess we aren't friends huh?" He said expertly hiding his amusement. He had a handle on the kid so he knew how she'd react.
"That's not proper Mr. Naruto! You're my elder and -"
"Ah I see I'm too old, huh? It's alright then." He feigned sadness expertly, getting pats on the back by his smart little tots who caught on.
'Sneaky daddy!'
'Very sneaky dad!'
Panicking for the umpteenth time she breathed out in resignation before saying "Okay...Naruto. "
Immediately dropping the look he threw a tiny grin down at her before letting it drop.
Blinking at the man stopping watching his long strides leave her she could only come to one slow conclusion.
"H-hey! You tricked me!"
"Tenzin please! Enough this is not working! We need to figure out another way because this is just wasting time!" Korra slammed her head onto the table.
She was appreciative truly but it was obvious whatever all this stuff was, wouldn't get them anywhere near the spirit world!
Not only that he was being extremely unreasonable blaming everything and everyone because he couldn't help her!
"Korra we just need a bit more-" He tried reasoning before being interrupted.
"We don't have anymore time! The world is at stake here!" She got up looking at him pleading for his understanding.
"I understand that but I'm sure the next method will-"
"We've been doing your methods for hours! We need to try something else!"
"Just one more-"
"Not only have we been trying your methods for hours on end! You don't even have the patience to wait of they're actually effective! "
The silent family simply sat and watched in worry as the 2 hard heads butted in the confrontation. It had been building all morning and it finally came to head.
"Psst! Ikki!" Meelo whispered over to her bumping her.
"What!?" She repiled immediately, annoyed on principle.
"I bet 5 yuan Korra wins!" He pulled out the coins showing it to her.
"How did you even get that?!" They didn't get allowances. They were monks for goodness sake!
"You don't worry about that. The fart master has his ways! So what do you say?" He wiggled the 5 coins enticing her.
About to accept she was interrupted by Bumi butting in "I want in on this action! 5 on Tenzin. Korra may be good but experience trumps talent!"
"Hah! I know my dad well! He's on the backfoot!" He pointed triumph at the man who had a uncertain look on his face.
"But if you want to lose money, who am I to stop you?" He immediately swiped the change out of his hand counting it. All 5 pieces.
Ikki looking at them in a deadpan looked up at hearing footsteps smiling at seeing her sister and Naruto.
Squinting her eyes seeing the withdrawn face of her sister knowing what it meant, a devil like smile formed onto her face.
'You'll never hear the end of this. I'll follow you to the grave to make sure you remember! '
"Naruto! Hey wanna bet on who wins?! Dad or Korra?!" Meelo immediately jumped up running to him asking him.
Looking at him in confusion he asked "Who's Korra?" He hadn't heard that name when he was here.
"Ah Naruto you're here. It would seem you've prepared to leave?" Tenzin said glad to have something to distract him as he quickly with as much grace as he could stood up walking to him.
Pointedly ignoring the glare he felt directed towards his back.
"Ah Tenzin. Yes I'm afraid we have to go home now. Need to get these kids settled in." He let them down to run around as he addressed Tenzin.
"I see. Completely understandable. Children need stability in their lives. Do you need any help p-packing up?" He stuttered a bit feeling the no doubt avatar standing behind him.
"Jiiiiiiii."
Naruto sweating didn't answer him as he looked behind him before glancing to Tenzin his eyes begging him not to acknowledge it.
Sadly Naruto knew it was a bit rude to do so. So deciding to get the issue out of the way...
"Hello Korra is it? My name is Naruto Uzumaki. Those are my children Boruto and Himawari." He said to her sticking out a hand.
Squinting at the blonde hair and features she looked down at the hand glaring at it before taking it.
"You have blonde hair."
"You have brown skin."
"What?!" She immediately exploded.
"Hmm? I thought we were just saying things about each other?" Naruto looked at her in confusion not understanding the issue.
Blinking she realised she made a mistake she sighed shaking the hand saying "Sorry. The name is Korra, though I'm sure you already know. "
Seeing him look at her weirdly her eye twitched but she said nothing.
"Okay well it's time for us to leave. Kids it's time to go!" He called them as they got up off a beaten Meelo having defeated him and tied him up using him as a chair. Then taking his money.
"My yuans!" He sobbed through the tape completely uncomprehebsible.
Looking at him as he left with wide eyes what he said finally sunk in. Her eyeballs went to the toddlers following him like duck geese to him walking out then back to them as her her eyes bulged.
"I what?" She looked around for a explanation. That couldn't be true right? They looked atleast 3 and he looked her age so how?! He would be what? 15 or 16 when he had them?!
She hadn't even had her first kiss then let alone...She closed her eyes trying to not think about exactly what that image conjured and with who.
"That my dear is the man who discovered a bison herd and brought them here for us and yes they are his children" Kaya shrugging not sugar coating it.
"Bison herd? What? Someone please explain what's going on!" She begged looking around.
And explain they did she thought looking down. Glancing at Tenzin she said " I'm going to do my duties as the avatar and you are going to figure out a way to get me to the spirit world." Spinning on her heel she left him no time to rebut as she strode off in the direction of the family.
"You pissed her off really bad dad." Meelo said as they all watched Korra leave.
"Language Meelo." Tenzin responded on auto pilot but he did not try to argue it.
"Here you go dad." Boruto said taking a sock out of the bag handing it to him, making his work harder unknowingly.
"Thank you son." He simply smiled at him in fond exasperation. It was perhaps the tenth time he did so and he didn't have quite have the heart to tell him to stop.
It was still cute the 10th time.
Putting it inside with all the others he shut the container before picking it up his children right behind him.
It was just a dummy container of course. He had all their items sealed away but he needed a cover for any prying eyes and voila the dummy container idea was born.
Stepping out to the hall he paused seeing the admittedly beautiful girl before carrying on container and kids in tow.
"Hey! I'm here to talk to you, can't you tell?"
"If you wanted to talk, you could have just knocked on the door you know? Not just stand out here." Naruto was confused at her logic. How was he supposed to know she wanted that.
Maybe she was just waiting for someone.
Shaking her head she grabbed him by the shoulder trying to stop him, failing not even budging his steps her eyes widening.
"Hey just wait a sec!" She quickly caught up seeing him drop the container upon another outside.
Turning around looking at her Naruto gestured with his head "Go on then."
He had no clue why she was being so persistent. He hadn't even spoken to her twice before. It was really weird to be honest.
"Ahem!" She coughed ignoring the look before beginning her little speech.
"As the avatar presiding over this era I would like to thank you for your contribution to the recovery of the sky bison." She said to the complete bafflement to the family as both father and children looked at her.
"Helping save the first airbenders of the world is a great feat and I want you to know that we as a whole thank you! " She finished smugly feeling all avatar like.
This was what she was always suppose to be doing. You know avatar duties and stuff. She felt quite proud getting that right.
Opening her eyes hoping to see the awe on the cute kids faces she blinked seeing them play far away as the father loaded equipment onto the bison.
"Bwa?"
Blinking at the strange sound Naruto looked over to the young woman. "Ah you're done. Well thank you for the appreciation but... are you sure the avatar is suppose to be doing this? Seems like something for a secretary or so..."
He knew that from Kakashi sensei telling him when he was helping him prepare to ascend. Something like "Mah mah. If the person in charge had to personally thank everyone for everthing they'd never get a day of rest."
So yeah the Avatar doing this seemed a bit...
"Secretary? What do you think I am? Some kind of corporate boss?" She snorted at the thought immediately thinking of Asami.
"No but if you're supposed to maintain harmony and all that... you'd probably want someone to help lighten the load. Four nations is a lot of people after all." He thought it made sense anyway.
And Korra seemingly did so as well as she lasped into silence nodding. It did make sense having some hired help and having more opinions was always a good thing.
'Now where to find people like that?' She glanced at him for a minute before her eyes lit up.
"Hey! Would you like to-"
"No."
"Tsk!" She kissed her teeth struggling to hide her smile at the byplay.
"You're kinda funny eh Uzumaki...Naruto?" She said confused at which was his real name.
Clasping the the harness onto Gamakichi Naruto looked back at her confused. Did he tell a joke just now?
"You can call me Naruto. Boruto, Himawari. Time to go." He called them before turning to the female.
"Well it was nice talking to you miss but I'm afraid it's time for us to go." He mused picking the kids up before taking a single leap landing on Gama.
Blinking at the superhuman feat Korra said nothing.
"I see. Then hope you enjoyed your stay." She did not pester or engage in any more conversation. She needed to get back to important buisness afterall. You know saving the world?
Nodding Naruto said "It was pretty great. We'll definitely visit again." That'd be a long time from now though.
Watching as he patted the bison Korra saw him taking off.
'Pretty cute.' Now whether she was talking about the children or the man was yet to be seen.
"Finally. Home sweet home." Looking at the mansion he couldn't help but breathe out a sigh. It wasn't that he didn't like the airbender family but he felt he was taking away a lot from his own family needs.
"Daddy can we get down now? It's boring up here." Himawari whined. The allure of flying quickly became stale when it became such a monotonous task.
"Yeah dad I want to go play." Boruto was in agreement with her.
"Give me a minute." He said picking them up and setting them down.
"Don't leave until I'm finished." He turned to unclasp the harnesses not wanting to strain the bison anymore than they did.
Though judging by the tongue he had to dodge this guy wasn't at all worried about it.
"Okay you guys can go! And no running in the halls!" He shouted after them seeing them run inside the house.
Shaking his head he wondered how they thought they'd get in before realizing the keys he had were gone and in Boruto's hands.
Eyes twitching seeing Himawari standing on Boruto's shoulder to open the door Naruto looked on the brighter side of things.
"At least they're working toget-" He paused passing the pond seeing a fish float up before being swiped up by a eagle hawk.
Looking at the now half full pond he smiled though it came out strained.
"Teehee! Probably should've gotten somebody to uhh-" He scratched his head sighing realizing how he easily forgot that.
He told the 'Avatar' about how she needed a secretary but seemed he need one to huh? Or maybe just a to do list.
Shaking his head looked and realized every fish other than the Koi died. Now what did that mean?
Looking deeper he saw some algae at the bottom before his mouth opened to exclaim" Ah ha!"
So it seemed the next fish he needed to get, should be able to exclusively eat algae to live. Good to know.
Satisfied with the rationalizing he walked inside looking around before stopping seeing the uninvited guest playing with the lemur 'Julien'.
Blinking at the strange sight he sighed before quickly swiping the kids who tried running past him.
"Let go daddy!"
"Let go! Let go!"
Ignoring the squeals and wiggles he went back out realizing it should be around time for lunch.
Looking at the forest Naruto peered silently as he stopped before a 'What the fuck' look appeared on his face.
Why? Because a ton of spirits were squatting on his land! Walking through the forest eyes wide in disbelief at the sheer number he truly wondered what hell was going on, as he began holding the suddenly struggling kids tighter.
Just as he was about to evict these unwanted tenants, a group of...monkey peacock spirits?? Yes a group of monkey peacock spirits came offering him fruits.
Looking at it blandly, he looked up at the spirits who turned their head away, saying "You're paying me with my fruits? The ones I grew?"
The spirits said nothing but the embarrassment could be felt.
Sighing he took 3 fruits one for himself and 2 for his kids.
Looking at them with squinted eyes he said "You can carry the rest home."
Walking behind the cheering spirits who seemingly thought that meant they could stay Naruto wondered what to do here.
'It's not like they take up any space really and I'm not using the forest but...' Still the thought of someone living on his land whilst he didn't get the chance yet kinda bugged him.
Seeing them drop the fruits down on the ground Naruto eye twitched but said nothing knowing spirits probably didn't understand well why they shouldn't.
However, he did have the stray thought that they seemed like a very cheap labor force. He did have a lot of fruits and vegetables that needed picking...
"Bring it here Himawari. " He said taking the fruit she picked up before washing it throughly.
'Now I need to clean this place, sell some of the fruits, get these kids in school and to a doctor, buy some supplies, get the plumbing and electricity checked and...'
Wow this was going to be a lot.
"Ugh! My babies are growing up so fast!" Naruto said squeezing seeing them wearing the pre school uniform looking all intelligent.
"Daddy please stop."
"Yes. Dad let go."
Not caring for the complaints he squeezed harder picking them up. It was about to be their first day and he needed to make sure to savour this hug.
Placing them down he quickly got the camera before telling them to get closer.
The flash going off, he looked at it and smiled.
"Alright time to get you guys to school." He said aloud as he went outside them following. Looking at the smooth rock ground going all the way out he made,he glanced at the 'Sato mobile' waiting for them.
Ushering them quickly he glanced at his watch nodding before seeing someone come out and open it for them.
"Thank you Lee." He nodded to the man.
"My pleasure Mr. Uzumaki." He closed it after him before getting in the driving seat.
"Where to this time Sir?" He asked starting the vehicle reversing and turning before leaving again on the stone path.
"The Iroh Academy know of it?" He looked out the window ignoring the spirits waving.
"Know of it? Sir that's one of the most premier schools in Republic City. I'd be concerned if I didn't. " He argued internally mapping the route in his mind.
"Is it? I suppose it makes sense when I was asking around it was said to be one of the best." He nodded seeing the confirmation.
Blinking the man looked in the mirror looking at the blonde hair. "I'm sure they don't take admissions this time of the year Mr. Naruto how'd you get in?"
He knew how the snobby types got with rules and regulations.
"Ah. It only took some persuading. They're surprisingly reasonable. Well that and these little guys aced their little entrance test." In fact they tested higher however he held them back not wanting to make a hasty decision.
He could always let them do so in the future if need be.
"I see."
Feeling the conversation end Naruto looked at the passing people along with his kids.
Skyscrapers towering over bustling streets, while he could also see some airships filling the sky.
Looking around he could feel the separation as he went into the upper ring from the lower ring the different status making its self known immediately.
His face twisting a bit Naruto did not know what to feel about it, as they came up upon some traffic.
He did not know if he would have changed his decision even knowing where it was. He didn't really feel any reluctance sending them to a clearly elite school but...
'Was it the right choice?' He felt like he was reaching around blindly in the dark honestly.
Sighing looking at the kids knocked out he kept a eye out watching the street signs while also observing the man driving to try learn something himself.
No offense to him, he was a great chauffeur but Naruto would rather be more independent than having him drive him around.
Sadly he would need him for quite some time to get a good grasp on the land.
He wouldn't mind using Gama to get around but he'd rather not be stopping to use the map every 5 seconds.
Blinking as they broke off from the street he looked up as they came upon a rather large gate with a bold fire nation symbol on it.
Driving through the Lee came to a stop at the booth.
Rolling down the window Naruto looked at the man asking "Good morning! My kids are new additions to the school. Can you tell me where to go?"
They had came to him to test them afterall. He didn't have the slightest clue.
"What's their names sir? " The guard asked in return flipping the book to the pre school section after catching a glance at them from here.
"Himawari Uzumaki and Boruto Uzumaki."
'A noble?' He stiffened a bit before looking quickly.
"They western block 1st floor door number 33 sir." He said pointing to the direction his tone much more respectful.
"Thank you!" Naruto pulled his head back in, smiling as he woke his kids up.
As they groggily came to he glanced futher away at the wandering students seeing kids of all ages as they came to a stop parking.
'Good if this place is as good as they say I can let them stay here the entire time.' He smiled getting out as they pushed open the door on their side.
Ignoring the sudden array of glances he bent wiping the drool off before using a bit of water to clean them.
Taking them by the hand he asked "Now do you know the rules?"
Nodding having been drilled they both twin speaked. Alternating between Himawari and Boruto respectively.
"Don't talk to strangers."
"Don't go where no one is."
"Don't disrespect our teachers."
"Don't bully our classmates."
"Don't get bullied."
And it continued until they reached the classroom Naruto correcting them on the little mistakes they made.
Knocking on the door he stepped back as it opened to a young woman peeking out.
"Ta'lia? You're a teacher here?" Naruto was confused. After all this was one of the people who came to his house after all.
The attractive woman with long dark hair, piercing eyes, and a regal demeanor looked at him with a smile anticipating the arrival.
"It was training for me to become a administrator and good morning to you too mister." She raied a eyebrow before looking at the children.
"Now let's get these little guys inside with the rest."
"Bye daddy." Himawari said immediately going in Boruto hot on her tail.
Blinking the young woman looked at Naruto suprised ." Usually they're a bit more emotional than that." She said lightly.
"Well they aren't your usual kids so you'll have your hand full." He smiled not minding the hasty departure.
Taking the advice in she glanced at him in the eyes for half of a second before turning around flipping her hair saying "I'll see you later today Mr. Uzumaki please make sure to pick your children up on time. Good day."
Watching as she sauntered away Naruto blinked slowly feeling like he forgot something important.
"Hmm.." Not able to figure it out he went back to the mobile sighing before glancing at a far away corner where his clone was laying in wait.
Better safe than sorry and it was only for a little while right?
"Anywhere else Mr.Uzumaki?"
"Uhh.." Naruto dug in his pocket for the paper sighing looking at the long list.
"Do you know anyone who can check my place for any problems electricity wise?" He started off from the first deciding he needed to get it over with.
"Now that you mention it I know the perfect person." Lee responded driving them in the direction of an old friend.
Looking out the window with dead eyes Naruto only had one thought.
'End it all. Please.'
Yeah.
And I think I will do Tenchi Muyo next. Maybe.
