Last Chapter

Naruto looked at them surprised, "Wow… so you went from what you had before to what you have now. Y-You guys must really."

Yotsuba walked up and said, "As we talked about before, it's not where we are that matters."

Ichika then said, "Come on, let's go inside and eat cake together! Since we live in our place."

Itsuki smiled and looped an arm around one of Naruto's, "It means we can keep tutoring you."

Naruto looked at the quintuplets amazed, he smiled, and his smile grew wider. Naruto's smile grew from ear to ear, "Yeah! Let's! I promise that we will do better! You girls are truly amazing… I cherish you all for that. I love you all… I truly do." Naruto placed his hands in the pockets of the Santa suit and began to make his way up the stairs. The girls all blushed as they watched him walk up the stairs of their house. Naruto stopped as he turned to them on the railing and said, "Itsuki, Ichika, Miku, Nino, and Yotsuba… Thank you for sticking with a guy like me. Thank you… thank you so much. I'll go to hell and back for you five. Because that's what love is, fighting the demons to get to heaven." Naruto gestured to them to follow him as they all smiled and began to laugh as they ran up the stairs to join Naruto inside their new house.

This Chapter *Day the Nakano Quintuplets took their Exams*

Naruto who was using Itsuki's phone was talking to their dad, "Yes, all five are working hard".

The dad replied over the phone saying, "I see. Then I expect good things from their finals."

Before Naruto answered he said, "Can I say something? I have a bit of a selfish request."

"What is it?" The Nakano sister's father replied curiously to what Naruto had to say.

Naruto who was on the roof of the school building looked out at the horizon, "I am deciding to quit tutoring as of this day. Are you aware that what type of girls your children are?"

The father was a little confused and asked, "What type of question is that what do you mean what type of girls my daughters are?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes as his face scrunched up, "Don't you know how much Miku loves history? Specifically, anything to do with the Sengoku era. Nino's talent for cooking and fashion? Itsuki's desire to succeed and do well in school for you? Ichika has been striving to become an actor. She has been trying to make a path for herself in the world? Do you know any of the sports that Yotsuba plays?"

The father was rather confused, "Why are you asking this of me, why are you telling me what my daughters like to do? If that is all you're telling me then goodbye."

Before he could hand up Naruto said, "That's it? Do you have no interest? No care? Don't you care at all about what your daughters do? Have you ever stopped once to hang out with them or even see what they like to do in their spare time?" Just then Naruto made a 180 and chuckled saying, "Oh, sorry, I shouldn't be talking to my employer like that… wait I QUIT!" Naruto glared at the phone as he shouted, "WHY DON'T YOU TRY ACTING LIKE A FATHER FOR ONCE! BE A PART OF YOUR DAUGHTER'S LIVES! LEARN ABOUT THEM! SHOW THEM THAT YOU CARE AND YOU WANT THEM TO SUCCEED! You're a pathetic excuse as a father! Rena Nakano would be disappointed in you!" Naruto then hung up after yelling at their father.

Naruto tucked the phone away as he took out a letter, it was the wills of Rena Nakano and Kushina Uzumaki. Naruto looked at the wills and sighed as he closed his eyes. The wills were written as such,

Kushina's Will: All possession I own will be equally distributed to my three kids Naruto Uzumaki, Naruko Uzumaki, and Kasumi Uzumaki/Namikaze. If my children are too young to care for themselves. I ask that they are taken in by my friends Rena Nakano and that Tsunade and Jiraiya Senju can come to check up on their wellbeing.

Signed,

Kushina Uzumaki

Rena's Will: All possession I own will be equally distributed to my five children. Miku Nakano, Itsuki Nakano, Ichika Nakano, Nino Nakano, and Yotsuba Nakano. If my children are too young to care for themselves, I ask they are taken in by my friend Kushina Uzumaki and after her Maruo Nakano is their stepfather who will also be allowed to visit them to check up on their wellbeing.

Signed,

Rena Nakano

Naruto folded the two letters up and tucked them away into his shirt. The girls were old enough to be on their own, Naruto wondered why the Nakano sisters were never given to his mother. Regardless, there're here now and well. It seems their mothers knew one another very well, well enough to entrust one another with their kids.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

With Maruo Nakano

He was in his limo as he rested his head on the back of the seat. He mumbled out, "Uzumaki-kun… you've done it now… But I won't give my daughters to a man like you."

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Naruto and Naruko were at the shrine today to celebrate the upcoming new year. Naruko opened her fortune as she cheered out, "Yeah! Great luck this year!" Naruko danced around as Naruto shook his head and sighed.

Naruto had his fortune as he opened it, he read it saying 'Good Health' which he deadpanned at. Naruto turned his head to hear Naruko letting out a 'wow!' Naruto saw the Nakano Quintuplets in different Kimonos going to the shrine they were just at.

Yotsuba smiled as she cheered out, "Uzumaki-san! Naruko-chan!"

Nino's face brightened up as she said, "You two decided to come here too!"

Ichika beat Yotsuba to the punch as she said, "You two should stop by our place today!" Yotsuba was gently pushed to the side by Ichika who seemed to be happy to see Naruto.

Naruto rubbed the back of his head saying, "We couldn't possibly intrude." Naruto was cur off by Naruko.

"I'll go!" Naruko raised her hand in the air as high as she could.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Nakano Apartments

Naruto was standing off to the side she watched them move, 'And I love you.' The male actor kissed the female actor. Nino blushed as she began to hug herself, "It's so romantic."

Itsuki had her hand up to her mouth with a tint of red staining her cheeks, "T-They kissed." Itsuki's ahoge twitched in the air. Yotsuba and Ichika were both learning by staring at the screen intensely.

Naruto deadpanned as he said, "Why did you invite us over?"

Ichika giggled as she smiled at Naruto, "Come on, it's the new year. Let's relax."

Naruto turned around hearing Miku's voice, "Happy New Year, Naruto. I made a New Year's meal. Want some?" Naruto saw the bento having a dark purple aura coming off of it. Naruto extended a handout to try some, honestly this time Miku's cooking looked like it didn't turn out right.

Though Naruko was looking around left and right a little confused. Yotsuba came walking up and asked, "What's wrong, Naruko-chan?"

Naruko tapped her fingers together nervously, "I think I had the wrong idea about you all. I thought you were all rich. What happened to your old hose?"

Yotsuba began to rub the back of her head chuckling as she said, "O-Oh, well, things happened."

Ichika gave a light heart laugh and said, "Sorry we don't have much."

Itsuki reminded everyone, "We have to return the kimonos to our landlord, too."

Ichika smiled at Naruko, "Anyway, you can make yourself at home."

Naruto shook his head as he sat down over by the wall, "Are you guys sure you're all right?"

Just then Nino said, "Hey. Why are you sitting over there?" Nino lifted the kotatsu from their table, "Isn't it cold? Get in the kotatsu."

Naruto got up and grabbed Naruko, "Naruko why don't you go in!" Naruto's face turned red a bit.

Ichika scooched next to Naruto with her hands up, "Come on, don't be shy." Naruko had a blush on her cheeks with a smile on her face. Ichika's hands came up together behind Naruto's back, "Let me give you a massage, to help you relax a little."

Naruto waved it off as he said, "I-I'm fine I am!"

Naruko watched in shock as Itsuki called out, "First come first serve!"

Yotsuba called out, "I get his arm, then!"

"Make some room Yotsuba!" Nino called out wanting a piece of Naruto.

"Oh, fine then!" Itsuki said with annoyance in her voice, "I'd like to massage his legs, then." Miku moved over towards Naruto's other leg that Itsuki had.

Naruko watched in awe as the Nakano quintuplets were servicing Naruto. Itsuki was massaging his cheeks, Nino his left shoulder, Yotsuba his left forearm, Miku his right leg, and Itsuki his left leg. Naruko was so happy as a happy look appeared on her face. "Onii-chan is so popular with the girls all of a sudden!" She turned to the side and look up at an imaginary light that was shining from above. Naruko said, "Okaa-chan, spring has come early for Onii-chan."

Naruto deadpanned at what Naruko was doing, and was super confused about what the Nakano quintuplets were doing, "What are you five plotting, and Naruko who are you praying to?"

Just then Yotsuba's ribbons on her head flinched, "I-It's nothing." She lifted his left hand massaging it.

Miku in response to Yotsuba said, "We're trying to make it up to you."

"What are you guys asking of me then?" Naruto looked at them mildly confused by what they were doing.

Nino then stood up as she said, "You work so hard! We just want to let you know we appreciate you!"

Itsuki held up a pastry, "Please have some of my food, if you'd like, it's some of my favorite." Naruto could see her shaky smile, the tint of pink on her cheeks, and the twitch of her left eyebrow.

Yotsuba then said, "I know! How about a game! A game called Fukuwarai to get into the New Year's spirit! We made a quintuplet version!"

Naruto then said, "Girls! What's going on? Is something wrong, you guys having?" Naruto had a look of worry on his face, were they in debt of some sort?

Naruto was cut off by Miku, her cheeks were red as she looked at his leg. She decided to relent and tell him what was going on, "There's something we'd like to discuss with you."

Just then Yotsuba flinched as she looked at Miku, "It's too early for that!"

Then Itsuki suggested, "Why don't we all go into the other room!" Before Naruto could say anything the five left and slammed the door behind them.

Naruto and Naruko looked at the shut door, "What in the world is up with those girls?" Naruto then took a bite of the pastry that Itsuki gave him.

Instead of waiting for them to come out, Naruto looked at the table. He and Naruko began to play the quintuplet game making the girls, "No this is Ichika's mouth! See Naruko!" Naruto smirked, "You don't think I don't know my friends?!"

The girls watched as they all sighed, Nino however walked over and knelt over the table, "Wow… impressive he got each of our faces down exactly."

Ichika walked over and knelt beside Naruto who was next to Naruko, "Woah Naruto, you did a really good job… oh Naruto you got something on your cheek." Before Ichika realized it, she leaned in and used her tongue to get the cream off Naruto's cheek. Just then Ichika realized what she did as the other girls looked at Ichika in disbelief. However, Miku was giving Ichika the stink eye as a dark aura appeared around her. Ichika's face was turning bright red as she blushed, "Uhh… Uhhhhhh Uwahhh Naruto-kun why don't we consider that your payment for tutoring!"

Naruko was taken aback as her face was flushed red, "Onii-chan! Ichika-san!"

Naruto's face was blushing as he placed his left hand on his cheek, "P-payment? For tutoring?"

So, Itsuki decided to take charge and stepped up. She placed a hand over her chest and said, "We aren't in any position to compensate you fairly right now."

Naruto then understood what she was saying, Naruto gave them a foxy smirk as he stood up, "So that's what this is all about." Naruto walked over making his way and stopped in front of Itsuki. Naruto shook his head as he said, "It doesn't bother me one bit, we're friends enough. I think that's what counts the most. Besides…" Naruto took out two slips of paper and held them in his hand, "You guys might want to take a look at these."

The girls saw the two slips of paper, one read 'Kushina Uzumaki Will' and the other 'Rena Nakano Will'. Naruto extended his hand out to them, "I found this in the mail, somehow it got lost. They were both mailed directly to me… I don't know how or why, but it seems our Kaa-san's were looking out for us."

Itsuki took the notes as she scanned and read both Kushina's and then her own mother's will. Itsuki was shocked as she began to hand them to her sister who read them quickly. The small little family looked at one another. Naruto rubbed the back of his head, "I don't understand it, but it seems like our mothers were great friends at one point. They knew if something happened to either one of them. They had backup plans… so yeah, apparently we were supposed to be raised together if something happened."

Nino was aghast by this, "Wait… well… if both of our Kaa-san's are gone, I guess we're technically on our own. We've yet to receive our mother's inheritance until we've gotten older." Nino closed her eyes as she looked at the notes. Since both parents are gone, it only made sense that their current father was taking care of them. Naruto and Kasumi were old enough to take care of Naruko if both parents were absent.

Ichika was a little surprised, but she smiled, "You know… I swear I remember our Kaa-san talking about another woman before. Wasn't her nickname the 'Red Hot Habanero' or something like that?"

Naruto chuckled as he placed a hand on his hip, "Exactly, she was a hard worker and did everything for her family. It seems our bond goes deeper than just being friends, if things would have changed we might have grown up together." Naruto walked over to the girls and he pulled them all into one giant group hug. Ignoring the fact that Itsuki's and Nino's cheeks were pressed up against Naruto's cheeks caused them to blush. Yotsuba, Miku, and Ichika feeling Naruto's strong arms wrap around all of them shocked them, "In a way, we're all kinda like a big family!" Naruto grinned from ear to ear, he was truly glad he met everyone.

Just then Naruko spoke up saying, "Onii-chan! What are you going to do then?! You have so many different girlfriends! Who are you going to choose?" Naruko began to count off on her fingers, "You got Mito-Onee, Ino-Onee, Itsuki-Nee, Yotsuba-Nee, Miku-Nee, Nino-Nee, and Ichika-Nee!" Naruko swung her hands into the air as her face turned red from the different thoughts inside of her head, "WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CHOOSE! WHO'S GOING TO BE MY SISTER-IN-LAW!"

Naruto stared at Naruko blankly as his face began to heat up. The quintuplets began to blush a deeper red, quickly Naruto released them as he coughed into his hand, "*Cough* W-Well why don't we all get cracking on the winter homework?"

Itsuki decides to go along with it to change the subject and smirked. The girls all sat down around the table and took out their homework, "Naruto-san you underestimate us." Itsuki smirked holding up her homework while placing it on the table.

Nino smirked placing an arm on the table, "We've all done our homework already."

Naruto was impressed as he placed both hands on his hips, "Well… I guess we can go over it and check to make sure they're right. I guess we can have a regular study session afterward."

After a little while Miku raised her hand, "Naruto-kun, I need help with this one."

Naruto stood up and walked over and knelt next to her. He was pretty close, but Miku took notice as she looked at him. Naruto began to say, "Provide examples of words ending with -ish? Ish is a suffix that means "approximately," or kind of. So you have "pinkish" … "bookish," "thickish" … there's also perkish, but that's…" Miku subconsciously placed a hand on her lip.

Nino however, couldn't notice and stared at the two with her right elbow on the table and her hand under her chin. Miku looked at Nino and said, "What?"

Nino looked away and said, "Nothing. It's nothing."

Naruto then looked over to Ichika, "Oh… it seems Ichika must be tired from her job?"

Nino nodded her head as she said, "Ichika's been working even more than before."

Miku then pipped in saying, "She is paying our bills and expenses. It's all thanks to Ichika that we get to have you here to teach us."

Naruto smiled as he stood up and walked over to Ichika, "Hold up a moment girls." Naruto gently leaned Ichika backward allowing her to rest in his arms. The other four Nakao quintuplets blushed as they watched Naruto. Naruto then maneuvered his arm under Ichika's legs and hoisted her up with ease. Ichika didn't even wake up, her head unconsciously moved right resting up against Naruto's chest. Naruto carried her into the other room where her futon was set up. He laid her down and gently took the covers and tucked her in. Naruto stood up and walked out as he shut the light off and closed the door.

When Naruto left, in the darkness Ichika opened an eye. Even though she was in the dark, her face turned redder than their own mother's hair. Ichika couldn't fall back asleep after that! Soon Naruto came walking out once he was done and heard Itsuki pitching an idea.

"Hey, guys… why don't we begin trying to look for jobs too." Itsuki looked at the table and said, "I-I'll tutor too! I'll study and tutor, that way I can improve my academics too."

Naruto nodded at the idea, "It's possible, but you'll have to put even more effort and studying into it."

Yotsuba smirked and said, "Why don't I work at the supermarket!"

Naruto thought that was a good idea, "Great thinking just make sure you don't get sidetracked. You'll have to do the heavy lifting and organize things in a timely matter."

Miku added in her two cents, "Why don't I work at a maid café?"

Naruto was annoyed that other guys will stare at her, "Well… you certainly got the looks and cuteness working for you Miku. Though, you might want to add more pep into your voice."

Yotsuba pipped in and said, "Nino, hasn't it always been your dream to open up a shop? For now, you could work at a food service place?"

Nino looked away with her hand still under her chin. She looked away and narrowed her eyes embarrassed, "I-I guess I could."

Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Oh? That's right, I remember how good at cooking you are, Nino. It could be a good idea to try it out."

Nino began to blush as she placed her right hand over her nose, "It's just a silly idea I had as a kid. Don't take it so seriously."

Itsuki smiled at Nino's childhood idea, "I think it's a great idea, it could be a cake shop."

Nino blushed harder as she began to daydream. She could see herself and Naruto in their small bakery. They made cakes, doughnuts, croissants, pastries, and much more. She thought of herself in a baker outfit with Naruto with a chef's hat on his head. Just then Nino snapped out of it as she moved to the other side on all fours.

Naruto understood, but he worked a few jobs here and there until he started working at his boss's bakery. With that said, everyone else got back to work for the rest of the night.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Time Skip a Few Days Later

*Revival*

Naruto was told that the bakery was being closed early for a show. Naruto rubbed the back of his head as he went toward the changing room. Naruto opened the door and found Ichika standing there. Specifically with her hair in pigtails with red ribbons in each pigtail and her large blue jacket. Naruto was surprised and Ichika was even more so, along with a huge blush across her face. Not only that, but Ichika had another gig as well. The gig Kasumi was doing with Ichika and Naruto, was still on temporary hold. There were some more issues with the casting and now were down more people. So the progress of the movie was put on temporary hold.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

*Later*

"Scene 37-4… ACTION!" The director called out.

Naruto stood from afar with a surprised look on his face. Ichika was playing out a scene, she was wearing a typical schoolgirl's uniform. Ichika smiled as she used her left pointer finger placing it on her cheek. She looked up to the right as she said, "I've always wanted to try this cake shop." Ichika's voice was much lighter and younger sounding than Naruto is used to hearing her speak.

The actor to the left of Ichika said, "Now's not the time. Tamako!"

Ichika turned to her still with a smile on her face, "Huh? What do you mean?"

The one from across Ichika said, "That's the cursed reply."

The one next to her then said, "They say if you get one, you die."

Ichika raised both of her hands and leaned back and said, "I'm too dumb to know what you're talking about. Let's just have some cake!" Ichika smiled as she placed her right hand on her cheek, however, she secretly sent a scowl toward Naruto. The said Naruto was currently watching from afar with a grin plastered on his face.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

*Revival's Storage Room*

*Slam* Naruto stood up against the wall as Ichika slammed her right hand next to his face. Naruto smirked and said, "Is something wrong. Tamako-chan?"

Ichika had a bright red blush across her face as she said, "N-Naruto-kun…would you mind not watching? It's embarrassing."

Naruto raised an eyebrow and shrugged his shoulder, "Ichika, what could you ever mean? I'm just watching a show being performed at my job? Besides, I think you're doing a great job, Tamako-chan." Naruto said with a chided remark at the end.

Ichika sighed and said, "I'm trying not to tell the others, but we're running out of savings." Ichika stepped back removing her hand from the wall and she looked down, "I mean, it turns out food and power are a lot more expensive than I thought. So, I decided to accept any work I can find. I have to be strong for the girls. So don't try and stop me."

Naruto scratched his head confused, "Ichika, I would never diss the efforts you're putting in for your family. Besides, I'm just happy that we're staying such good friends. Not only that but you guys gave me another opportunity to keep tutoring you five." Naruto shook his head and a brighter smile appeared on his face, "A job is a job, you get paid. You're doing more than you think, and I'm sure your sisters are proud of you no matter what you do. I know I am, but that's because you're being the Ichika I know. Hardworking, someone who puts others before themselves, even for family." Naruto brought his right hand up and placed it under her chin to make her look up at him. Ichika's face blushed as she looked at Naruto's smile at her, not only was their happiness in his eyes. There was something else, it was pride, pride Naruto has in her for doing this, "I'm proud of you Ichika, you and the others have come a long way. Keep it up." Naruto gently removed his hand and gave her a thumbs-up, "You can do it, keep up the great work."

Itsuki smiled as she began to fidget with her hands as she slowly steps forward. She gave Naruto a hug and Naruto returned the embrace, but before Naruto could wrap his arm around her. Naruto found Ichika's hands on his cheek. Itsuki smiled as she says, "Naruto-kun… you are one amazing guy you know that? I also thank you for that… don't ever change, never stop being you." Ichika leaned forward and went up on her tippy toes. Ichika's lips connected with Naruto's as the two hold it together.

Naruto's eyes widen a bit but then relaxed. He didn't know what to do or even say, he was taken back by it. Though he was also not surprised, the Nakano Quintuplets, each one of them. Is or are already falling in love with him. Just then the director called out and said, "Nakano-san! We're going to the beginning again soon!"

Ichika turned towards the door, "Coming!" She began to trot back off onto stage.

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Scene Shift *Inside the Restaurant*

Ichika back in character took a bite of the pie that was in front of her. She placed both hands on her face smiling, "Mmmmmm! Yummy!"

Then the director shouted, "Cut! That was good, but why don't we try another take?" Naruto stood off to the side, it was rather amusing to see Ichika like this.

Then one of the workers on stage walked past Naruto and said, "I hope you don't mind, but we're going to use this one too." The worker said as he continued to walk forward, and Naruto realized what the guy took, "Oh… that's the one I made… I know the boss like's my cooking. I just hope Ichika like's it too."

Ichika, who was back in character, took another bite of food, which this time was the one he made. Ichika placed both hands on her cheeks and shouted out with more enthusiasm in her voice, "It's so yummy!"

The director shouted, "Cut! Nice! That was great!"

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Later *Sundown*

Naruto came walking up to find Ichika working on her home. Naruto then spoke up and said, "You're close on number 5, might want to look over that one."

Ichika looked up and smiled as she placed her homework down, "Ah! Well… it seems you've caught me."

Naruto smiled as he placed his bag to his right and sat down next to him, "No need to hide anything from me."

Ichika smiled and kept her eyes closed saying, "These things are only cool when done in secret."

Naruto only looked at her blankly as he rubbed the back of his head. Naruto looked at her script, "You got your lines down too?"

"Yeah." Ichika will with her eyes closed placed both of her hands on her lap, "I memorized the whole thing already."

Naruto smiled as he jokingly said, "I see… well you memorize what you like doing. Only if that was also for doing your homework and studying." Naruto let a chuckle out as Ichika looked at him opening her eyes at him and glaring at him. She also puffed her cheeks out in annoyance.

Ichika then began to chuckle as she rubbed the back of her head, "Ahahaha… the curse kills me in the first part, so I don't have that many lines."

Naruto deadpanned a bit and said, "That's rather… morbid."

Ichika removed her hand from her head and turned to Naruto, "Oh yeah, that reminds me. Did your boss make that pie earlier? I have to say it was rather well done. I liked it."

Naruto smiled a bit as he said, "Well… yeah actually I made that one. I didn't realize they took it until it was too late. Though said it wasn't bad... so I'm rather relieved." Naruto rubbed the back of his head as he looked away from Ichika and he said, "Well… I do have to say though Ichika. You are… well doing a great job acting. You're really good… I look forward to working with you once Kasumi's production starts back… up…" Naruto stared blankly at her as she slumped forward, "YOU FELL ASLEEP!" Naruto looked at her worried as he gently lifted her back up. Naruto sighed as he said, "Jeez… I guess it's a lot of stress and work." Naruto then gently rested her head against his shoulder. Naruto shook his head and said, "Man, you must be amazing at this type of thing. I usually don't care, but when I was told I had to perform after I go you the job. I was worried as hell… but I was glad you were there." Naruto shook his head and turned to Ichika and continued to speak, "I hope and wish that one day your sisters could see you. I'm sure they would be proud of what you've been doing." Naruto gently rubbed her shoulder making sure she was lulled to sleep, "Keep up the great work, Ichika."

Ichika slowly opened her eyes, her dark blue eyes shimmered in the sunlight. She said to herself, "I wish I wasn't acting right now… I guess I am lying to you right now Naruto…" Naruto moved his head to rest on top of hers. Naruto closed his eyes and smiled, "You five all are wonderful… I'm glad to have met you all."

¯҉¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯҉

Later *Grocery Store*

Naruto found himself carrying a bag of rice, "So… there's a sale and you wanted me to help with the bag carrying?" Naruto deadpanned a bit as Yotsuba nodded her head.

Nino who was pushing the cart placed in chocolates, "Miku asked me to get her these."

Naruto was a little surprised, "That's new… didn't take Miku for someone who liked sweets."

Nino shook her head as she turned to him. "I can't believe you sometimes, you're so smart but can be dense at times."

Yotsuba smiled and said, "It's so early. It's only January." Before Nino began to walk off Yotsuba said, "Nino, wait a sec." Yotsuba leaned down to tie her shoe.

Nino looked at her sister and let a sigh out, "Yotsuba, pay attention, you dropped your wallet." Nino walked over and grabbed it. However, Yotsuba and Nino both grabbed the wallet at the same time by accident.

They both said, "Ops! Sorry!" The two bumped heads together and began to stumble backward.

Naruto acting on his feet stretched his arms out dropping the bag of rice on the ground. Naruto caught Nino in his left arm and then Yotsuba in his right arm. He pulled them together as their faces were pushed up against his chest. Naruto sighed as he said, "You two, okay?" Naruto sighed as he patted both of their backs.

Nino was blushing up a storm as she looked down. She picked up the wallet and said, "Y-Yeah… I'm fine." Nino gave it to Yotsuba and quickly turned around. Yotsuba in turn also just accepted the quick return of her wallet from Nino staying quiet. Yotsuba was blushing just as much as Nino was.

Soon the three walked out with the groceries in hand. Naruto was looking forward until he felt eyes looking at him. Naruto turned his head to see Nino looking at him, "Something up?" Naruto asked curiously.

Nino quickly turned her head the other way and said, "N-Nothing."

Just then Yotsuba's happy calm expression changed, "Nino… look." The three turned to look and saw Itsuki in a café shop with their father.

Naruto stayed put and watched as Yotsuba and Nino went to a sign near the window to peek in. Naruto sighed as he said, "What they say and do is none of our business… okay maybe for you guys, but come on peeking isn't right." Naruto mumbled as he watched Nino and Yotsuba.

Just then Naruto found himself dragged into the café by Nino and Yotsuba. He was crying internally about why he was being forced into this. Naruto was appreciative of how much the girls wanted him in their lives. The three simply heard Itsuki say, "Okay… then what about Naruto-kun."

The father looked at her blankly and said, "Oh? Uzumaki-kun… I hate him." Itsuki looked at him shocked.

Nino turned to Naruto and said, "What did you do to papa?"

Naruto shook his head and said, "I'll tell you all later, and I don't regret it in the least bit."

Itsuki steeled her resolve, "We can't go home yet. He's far too involved in this to call him an outsider."

Their father tried to make another deal, "I'll allow Uzumaki-kun back into the home and ask him to continue tutoring." Naruto subtly looked back along with Yotsuba and Nino. The Nakano Quintuplet's father crossed his legs, "But he'll be working alongside a professional tutor. He'll be acting as her support."

Itsuki retorted back saying, "But we're all working so hard."

Their father shot back, "Do you even suppose, if Uzumaki-kun was brought back in as your tutor as before, that Yotsuba could earn a passing grade?" Naruto looked to his right seeing Yotsuba steeling herself. He could feel it, the anxiety coming off of Yotsuba along with Nino and Itsuki. Itsuki looked down. Their father continued, "From what I've seen her grades in the second term, I have very little hope." Naruto's fist tightened, "There's no support at all? There's nothing… all he simply is doing is pointing out their faults. They get it… they know that they struggle to pass… but it doesn't mean he can't try to encourage them?"

Naruto turned his head and went to get up, but Nino placed a hand over him, "No." Nino continued to look straight, "You'll only make things worse if you go."

Naruto hung his head low and said, "Even still… what a Tou-san should never look down on their children like that!" Naruto whispered angrily.

Itsuki looked down with a small smile and said, "I-I guess… w-we can do better with two… tutors."

Just then another voice spoke up, "We can do it." Itsuki looked up and so did their father to see Yotsuba.

"Yotsuba!" Itsuki looked at her shocked, Yotsuba had a very serious look on her face.

"Uzumaki-san and the five of us can do it." Yotsuba didn't falter in her words, "I want the six of us to pull it off. So please, believe in us. We won't make the same mistake again."

Their father who showed no emotion said, "And if you do?" Yotsuba flinched as her eyes grew with worry. Their father continued, "I would rather not say this out loud, but I've arranged with an acquaintance who is a board member at a high school that would allow you to enroll in third years. If you fail the last exam, I'll have you transfer to that school. If you insist on doing things your way, the responsibility is all yours. I hope you understand."

Itsuki's hair covered her eyes, "I understand."

Their father closed his eyes and went to get up, "Good, I'll make…"

He was cut off as Itsuki said, "No. We'll accept the condition that we transfer schools if we don't make it. I'm sorry I'm not an amenable, understanding, intelligent child." Itsuki had a smile appear on her face as she thought about Naruto supporting her and her sisters. She remembered that he wouldn't leave them again, she knows he did before. He did it so they could move on with their lives since they were all struggling before. But now was different, Itsuki knew that she and her sisters wanted to take their lives with their own hands.

Their father sighed and stood up and said, "It seems that the parent must hear the selfish demands of their children." He stood up with the coffee in his hand, "And the parent also must scold their selfishness. This is your last chance." He began to walk away until another voice spoke up.

"It's also sometimes the duty of a child to tell the parent that they are wrong." Nino, Itsuki, and Yotsuba turned their heads to see Naruto standing in front of their father. Naruto was staring the man down, "You don't get it do you, even from our talk before. Do you have any faith at all in your daughters that they can succeed if they try hard enough? Do you have a single ounce of love or care at all? Seems to me that hasn't been the case at all? I never see you at the house, have you once at least come to visit them in their new apartment? Have they invited you over for dinner, and you never accepted." Naruto tightened his fist, he's seen Itsuki's phone, there have been texts from her asking him if he wanted to eat dinner with them. There was the only time he said he would come, but then he said he had something come up. Naruto shook his head and said, "I understand you're a doctor… but your daughters needed you… not once have you been there for them? You can't even look at them and support them in their endeavors. It's sickening what type of parent you are to them. Rena Nakano would be disappointed in you… so would Kushina Uzumaki as well. Look at what type of man… parent…, if you can even call yourself one, have become. I understand you paid for their food, clothes, a roof over their head, water, and more. But now it's different… they're trying to live their lives. They're looking out for one another. Isn't that good enough for you? Isn't it good enough that they're going out, and working hard for themselves, so they can be independent? I say it takes a lot of guts and determination for what they did… you can't even praise them for trying on their own. Studying hard, working hard, and living out in the real world. The only one here being a child is you… you clearly don't understand your children. The only thing you know how to do is dangle a credit card in front of their faces to get them to do what you want." Naruto closed his eyes and walked past him going towards Itsuki and Yotsuba. Naruto saw Yotsuba on the verge of tears and pulled her into a hug. Itsuki began to sniffle as well, for whatever reason Yotsuba was feeling. Naruto stated the exact thing she always wondered herself. Why did their father never try to encourage her, support her, or help her? More important do something to help her sister and be the parent he is supposed to be. Money and providing are only part of being a parent. Being the one involved in their lives means so much more, more than what money could ever buy.

Nino was in complete and utter shock as she slowly made, he way toward Naruto. He was currently hugging her two sisters as Yotsuba cried. She was crying, Naruto must have said exactly what Yotsuba has been wanting from her father. Yet he never gave her that, their father never gave them anything of true importance. Nino began to feel her own boiling hate for her own father for the way he has been. Was it truly wrong to believe in their friend, Naruto, then their father? Because right now, everything that Naruto has said, has been true.

A/N: With that, this chapter is a wrap! Lol, I hope you all liked this update! Even when the father was first introduced, I never liked him. He may have done his best to support and provide for the Nakano Quintuplets. I know that Futaro saw that Naruto was in how their father was parenting them. Not once has he ever shown he truly cared for any of his daughters. Hell, he even flat out stated that how could Yotsuba ever improve and get better? There's no hope in his children, the kids he was given to help raise and protect. To me, I think that's something Naruto would hate about the guy. Naruto would want him to be the one who opens his eyes. Why doesn't he ever take the time out of his day to help them? Be with them? I understand he is a doctor, but that's why you have days off! Regardless that's my rant of him. I'm also just saying what Naruto would see, and I know this go around Naruto would state the Nakano Quintuplet's desires from their father. They lost their mother at a young age, and Naruto has been the only one, besides their butler, to show any real care for the girls. Naruto specifically said, that Yotsuba just wants her father to believe in her. Even when Yotsuba tried, the father still said, "What if you don't?" Not even telling her to try her best or you can do it. What was more, he knows that she was going to fail. I think Naruto wouldn't stand for that type of shit, that's why I thought throwing in that will thing I made an even stronger connection to Naruto and the Quintuplets together! Regardless, that is it for this chapter! I hope you all enjoyed it! Sage of Prophecy Out! Ja Ne!
