Shisui and Kaida picked out some clothes for Naruto, the on a shopping spree, buying everything from shoes, socks, toothbrushes, etc. They also bought some toys for Naruto too. This was the first time in four years of his life that Naruto was this happy.

  After getting everything they needed, Shisui and Kaida made their way toward the Uchiha pound. Shisui could sehat the Anbu who had been keeping an eye on Naruto until now had left, but the number of eyes had actually increased.

  ‘Maybe other s are going to keep an eye on us for some time. Well, it’s just some extra security for us anyway. There’s no way they would do anything,’ Shisui thought.

  Though Kaida couldn’t sense his surroundings as clearly as Shisui without notifying others of his chakra field, he could also feel many eyes staring at them and came to the same clusion as Shisui.

  Just he was more happy, not like Shisui who always thought of Konoha as a safe zone. Kaida khat all the major antagonists of the series could easily enter a Konoha whehey wished.

  People like Obito and Orochimaru would even have a reason tet Naruto too, so he was actually more happy for this extra prote in case Shisui had to go out on a mission.

  Hae was waiting for them at the door. Shisui had already sent a message that he would have to plete some formalities and would be te, but she still waited for them. And she could see three people walking toward her house.

  A boy with yellow hair and sky blue eyes especially caught her attention. In that little boy, she could see the image of another young boy who once became a bea of hope for all of Konoha and at st gave his life for the same vilge.

  Three of them came in front of the house. “Naruto, she is my mom, and your aunt from now on, and this is the house you will live in from now on,” Shisui said.

  Naruto didn’t even look toward the house at first a in front of Hae. “H... Hello, My name is Naruto Uzumaki,” he said, bowing pletely y degrees. (A.N.: These ese novels have corrupted me. I so dearly wao write ‘Ara Ara...’, I had to trol myself to not ge the genre of the novel.)

  “Oh my, you are such a small gentleman,” Hae said, pig up Naruto. She also noticed how light Naruto was.

  “How old are you?” Hae asked with the same smile, but with a little curious tone in her voice.

  “I am four years old, mam,” Naruto said with his characteristic smile, with all of his teeth fully visible. Shisui and Kaida had already told him about Hae and Yomi, and since Hae was also so kind toward him, he became a little rexed.

  “You call me Aunty, Naruto. What do you eat normally?” Hae asked, a little worried now. Naruto was way too light acc to his age. “Ichiraku Ramen.”

  “Aside from that,” Hae smiled, every child loves to eat that on a while.

  “Umm, different fvors?” Naruto asked.

  “No, I mean, what do you eat as food daily, like rice, curry, fish?” Hae asked.

  “Only Ichiraku Ramen. I oried to eat in a different stall, after saving some money from my pocket money, but they kicked me out, saying I was not allowed to eat there,” Naruto said with his face down.

  “So you o Ramen, and nothing else?” Hae asked, a little shocked, also ging the topic a little. She knew what type of things happeo him until now.

  Naruto nodded his head but then said, “Oh! I am also learning to make instant ramen myself. Ayame-san (Ichiraku’s Daughter) is teag me,” Naruto said, once again being cheerful.

  sigh ‘Well, it’s thanks to Ichiraku that he even ate anything, and I could not actually help Naruto too much otherwise Root may have taken a against him. Also, it’s thanks to his excellent genes and Kurama that he is not so malnourished, otherwise, we would have been taking care of a skeleton,’ Kaida thought but didn’t say anything. He also knew what was going to happe.

  “e inside, I had prepared lunch for everyone,” Hae said. Though it was already five PM, all of them were still hungry.

  grrr

  Naruto’s face became red. Well, it was not in his trol anyway. The smell of Hae cooking was already ing till the gate, and everyone was already hungry. “I was hungry too, let’s go,” Shisui said, entering the house. Hae also put Naruto down, and all three of them followed Shisui to the dining room.

  The table was full of food, bread, curry, fried chi, and even fish. When Naruto saw all that, a pond of drool went in his mouth. He was about to sit on a chair when Hae said, “Wait a minute, Naruto.” Naruto froze in his pce, fearing he may not be allowed to sit with them, or he would get something else to eat, and this was not for him. His experieil now had made him quite paranoid.

  (A.N.: This is a four-year-old Naruto, who has still not bee the prankster we all knew. He is just a small child who everyone just bullied. If not for fear of Kurama ing out of Naruto, he may have beeen to death a few times too… I know this is absurd, but this is what I think about Danzo.)

  Before his mind could form any more theories, Hae tinued, “Before eating, you have to wash your hands.” “Oh!, yes,” Naruto quickly faced went back to normal from the fearful expression, but Shisui and Kaida already noticed that, though they didn’t do anything, Naruto would naturally bee aced to the family with enough time. Now that he was going to live with them, there was no reason to rush things.

  After washing his hands, Naruto joined Shisui and Kaida at the table, and Hae started serving food to Naruto. Naruto quickly picked up chopsticks and started eating the food, but he was not very good at it and spilled a little on his clothes. “Wait, Naruto, let me help,”

  Hae said, pig up Naruto’s rice bowl and started feeding him.

  Sob sob

  “It is delicious.” “There, there, o cry,” Hae said, patting Naruto’s head. Kaida and Shisui just smiled, not saying anything aing Hae deal with Naruto. She was much better tha that anyway.

  After sobbing a little, Naruto once again started eating, and to everyone’s surprise, he ate twice the amount Shisui or Kaida would normally eat. “Were you guys starving this poor boy, on your way back?” Hae asked.

  “No, we bought him some snacks when we were ing here,” Shisui said, still a little astonished about the appetite of such a small. ‘He oe thirty bowls of Ramen in the anime, so eating this much food should be normal for him,’ Kaida thought with a small chuckle which went unnoticed by Hae.

  After finishing the food, Hae removed all the ptes and said, “Naruto, your clothes are a little dirty, and your hair is sticky too. e, I will bathe you,” Hae said, rubbing Naruto’s hair. “No Aunt, I will take a bath on my own,” Naruto said with a red face.
