Bijuu talk/think or Jutsu

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Summons talk

One week had passed since the chunin exams ended and the newly promoted shinobi already started their job with their new position. Team Kushina broke and Haku, Nier and Naruto went their own way, not before Kushina made them promise to meet every couple of years, but they cherished their moment together. For Kushina, after sleeping for 12 years she not only got her own son but three other children also and she loved them like her own. For Nier, she was accepted with open arms there and no one judged her by her past and she loved them unconditionally though she had things with Naruto. And for Naruto, he got an older brother, and he got his mother back, what happiness can beat when you find out your mother.

====Currently====

Naruto was peeping on two people for two days to spy on them, "Heh I never thought Haku and Ino would hang out together... well it's not like I can do anything if they become one... to think Ino might become my Giri no Shimai (Sister-in-law)... all though it's too early to think that..." what Naruto didn't know was a certain someone was watching him from a distance though there was a wall between them but there are eyes which can see through them.

The certain someone was about Naruto's age and the heiress of the Hyūga clan: Hyūga Hinata. Hinata came out from her hiding and jumped on the roof where her crush was, and she was extremely nervous.

Naruto turned at the sound of someone jumping behind him, "Kon'nichiwa (Hello) Hinata..."

"K-Kon'nichiwa Naruto-kun... what are you doing here?" despite Hinata had gotten over her extreme shyness but it didn't help her much in front of him.

"Oh, nothing much... come here and see by yourself..." answered Naruto.

Hinata looked where Naruto was pointing and saw his adopted brother was gossiping and smiling with Ino, "That's Haku-san and Ino..."

"Yeah... I'm spying on them since Ino has taken interest on my Nii-chan but he has also returned this interest... so I was checking if they are in a date or it's just a friendly hang out..." explained Naruto.

"D-Date..." Hinata looked at the ice user and platinum blonde then turned her gaze towards Naruto, she suddenly remembered for what reason she was there, so she took out something from her kunai pouch. Naruto also noticed her shift but didn't look at her.

"Naruto-kun..." said Hinata.

Then Naruto looked towards her, "Yes Hinata..."

"Please take this..." with that Hinata shoved something in Naruto's hands and ran out.

"What the..." Naruto believed for a moment that Hinata was faster than him and Minato combined. He then looked at the box which was red colored heart shaped box and heard his father's comical cries.

"My son is so grown up and getting love proportions almost every day in a while..." cried Minato.

'Don't say that Tou-san... you used to get these attentions at your age too... and Kaa-san's too...' thought Naruto.

"You don't know how much I have gone through to get your Kaa-san's attention..." said Minato.

'Just because you didn't want to get beaten in a bloody pulp... to think you tamed a woman who used to be scarier than all the tailed beasts... only you could do it...' thought Naruto.

"Come on Naruto... don't say that aloud and because of my efforts you got the best Kaa-san..." said Minato.

'Well, I'm not saying it aloud because I'm thinking it... and sure I got the best Kaa-san...' thought Naruto.

====Later That Night at Konoha North Gate====

"I guess this is goodbye for some years..." said Naruto.

"Don't forget to write letter every week... if you forget then I'll be there..." said Kushina.

"Hehe sure..." said Naruto.

"Are you sure you don't need anyone to escort you?" asked Kakashi, "I mean after the world learned you are the Yondaime Hokage's son there are many uproars... and some of them want you dead..."

"Well good time for the fox since they will be the fox's food..." said Naruto.

"I wanted to train you, but you don't need my training which I don't like..." said Jiraiya.

"Come on Ero-Sennin I'm the best... you all know..." said Naruto confidently.

"Don't be a cocky brat..." Kushina smacked Naruto in the back of his head.

"Ouch!" Naruto rubbed his head and went to hug his mother, "I'll miss you..."

"I'll miss you too... I want you to stay close to me within my eyesight, but I can't stop you from growing into a great man... be a prod man and make your village proud too... let the burn help your success..." Kushina hugged back and patted Naruto's head.

"Next time I'll win... I know you are gonna slack off at the capital..." said Haku.

Naruto stopped the embrace and lightly punched Haku's chest, "Oh you are also gonna slack off with Ino around..."

"That's not your business..." Haku said with a faint blush.

"Sure, it's my business... I don't wanna get an annoying brat of nephew or niece very soon..." said Naruto. Haku blushed in both anger and embarrassment.

"Onii-channn... you will get me gifts, won't you?" asked Taiyō.

"I will my dear Shisutā(sister)... you're a princess after all..." Naruto pressed his forehead with hers before giving her a kiss on her forehead.

"When you come back, I will be awesome ninja..." said Taiyō.

"Sure, you will... I have no doubts..." said Naruto.

"You take care of yourself Naruto because when you come back... I'll beat you in a fight..." said Nier.

Naruto grinned, "You get stronger Nier... but that beating me in fight... we'll just have to wait and see..." Naruto looked at Kushina, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Nier, Haku, and Taiyō who had come to bid their farewells.

"Don't sweat it boy... I have heard some people say that you're the boy of miracles..." said Jiraiya.

"I have heard that some say that you're a great pervert..." Naruto shot back.

"Hmmp brats..." muttered Jiraiya.

"Haha... see you again everyone..." said Naruto.

"Yeah... be careful on your way..." said Kushina.

Naruto waved goodbye to everyone and went out for another journey, and adventure, 'I'll live my life to the fullest...' he thought to himself.

"If my son was like him to be proud of..." Mikoto was looking from her apartment roof.

"Mother..." Itachi came from nowhere.

"Huh... Itachi!" Mikoto shouted as Itachi had scared her.

"You are worried about Sasuke..." said Itachi.

"Yes... a mother can't abandon her child even if the child abandons her... I never judged you and I'll not judge him for whatever he does..." said Mikoto.

"What will we do if he comes for revenge?" asked Itachi.

"I'll beat him and knock some sense into him... as a mother I'll punish him and free him from his darkness..." said Mikoto.

"I see..." said Itachi as he sat next to his mother.

====Meanwhile At Konoha Hospital====

Hinat was called by Tsunade at the hospital, but she was nervous since she met Naruto in the morning. She didn't get any answer from him and didn't know what will come for her from her crush. Hinata stopped in front of Tsunade's room and knocked.

"Come in..." shouted Tsunade behind the door.

Hinata opened the door to Tsunade's room, "Konbanwa (Good evening) Tsunade-sama... you called me..." Hinata said nervously.

"Yes Hinata... and don't be so nervous around me... I won't bite you..." said Tsunade.

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama..." Hinata knew she wasn't nervous because of Tsunade but for Naruto's answer.

"Now Hinata... you see I have heard some things about you... and those are good things... that's why I want you to train in Iryō Ninjutsu (Medical Ninjutsu) ... a Hyūga with Iryō Ninjutsu (Medical Ninjutsu) can reach in another peak in medical department..." said Tsunade.

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama... I won't disappoint you if you believe in me..." Hinata said.

"I chose you because I believe in you... and if you do better then I'll take you as my apprentice..." said Tsunade.

"I'll try my best..." said Hinata.

"That's all... you can go now..." said Tsunade.

Hinata waited for moment before speaking, "Tsunade-sama can I ask you something?"

"Yes..." said Tsunade.

"Do you know when Naruto-kun will leave for fire capital?" asked Hinata.

"Oh, you don't know... he already left... you missed him by 10 minutes..." said Tsunade.

"Oh... thank you Tsunade-sama..." Hinata bowed and left the room.

Tsunade didn't miss the sad look in her eyes, and she knew what that sadness meant, she had seen Hinata's match with Naruto and came to a conclusion, "I see... she likes the gaki (brat) but the gaki has other things on his mind..."
