*~*~*~*
Looking around the living room as he walked in, Kiba raised an eyebrow at what would usually be a neat floor desk that sat near the windows covered in papers. Couches and a loveseat were the usual furniture and he flopped down onto one couch. They had caught Naruto just as he had been about to make a pot of tea and settle into his paperwork, luckily before he had done so. It made the dog nin smirk as he noticed that once again, Naruto was wearing a simple day kimono.
He found that it did something to the usually hyper blond, calming him and making him something more. The current one was a rich gold color that was almost sandish with little kits that were playing along the edge, his hitai-ate sitting on his desk. His usually held back hair was fluffing just a bit more than normal.
Frowning slightly to himself, Kiba thought back to the few times that he had seen Naruto without his goggles during the Academy years and later on without his hitai-ate. His hair tended to fall in softer fluff than just sticking straight up all over the place. Looking at said hair at the moment, Kiba had to admit that it was looking longer, making the locks dip even more to frame the strong face.
“You’re thinking rather hard, Kiba-kun,” Hinata said softly as she sat down next to him, having finally moved to sit down instead of stare at Naruto as he left them to walk into the kitchen.
“Ah, yeah. I’m just not real sure what to think about Naruto actually,” he said as he scratched the side of his head. He and his teammates had all agree that they needed to work on their communications, get things out into the air before they started to fester, and he was trying. Admitting that he was confused about their blond friend, Hinata smiling in understanding.
“I think that might be because he’s showing us who he really is,” Kurenai hummed, eyeing the ANBU that was lounging back in a chair, feet kicked up with a tea cup steaming next to him. The entire setup was in a corner and settled so that he could watch the entire room, including the windows but still be out of sight from Naruto’s eyes. “Crow-san?” she asked.
“His normal bodyguard is out for the day,” Crow said as he flipped a page in the report that he was reading. “So I got stuck with this while I’m going over reports to hand to him tomorrow,” he said.
“And here I was going to make you a special bento box to take home with you tonight before you leave for your office,” Naruto drawled as he came out with the first tray. On it were the creamer and sugar dishes along with cups, saucers and spoons. Kiba hummed as he watched the way that Naruto laid out the cups in such a way that they could grab theirs from anywhere that they sat. “I hope that you guys don’t mind sencha. We’re out of our other teas at the moment. Outside of the matcha that Iruka keeps for cooking that is, but he’d slice off my hands if I dared to touch it.”
“Iruka gave me some really nice matcha when I first got here,” Crow drawled, Naruto already feeling the smirk that came from the ANBU.
“Iruka wants to get laid and really likes the way you’re built,” Naruto snorted, Kiba staring at him with wide eyes while Shino buried himself in his jacket, Hinata blushing bright red. “If he does get you in his bed, just make sure that there’s a silencing jutsu up, yeah? I know that he can get noisy and it’s not something I want to hear again,” he said, walking out of the living room.
Crow’s mask turned to follow him, Team Kurenai feeling the leer that came from behind the mask. “I wouldn’t mind taking either of them to bed actually,” he mused.
“Ugh, that is not what I wanted to think about,” Kiba grunted as he slumped down in his seat, listening to Naruto putter around in his kitchen.
Crow turned to stare at him. “What? Think about Naruto getting fucked or Iruka getting fucked?” he asked him. He had to hide the fact that he was amused, especially considering who he was and hiding in plain sight. Kiba narrowed his eyes at the ANBU.
“Iruka-san getting laid actually. I like him and all of that, but I can still remember him kickin’ our asses all over the place,” the dog nin finally said. Naruto walked past them and opened the front door, allowing Akamaru to walk in with a huff of thanks. He growled at Kiba for leaving him behind. “Sorry, boy, but ya didn’t want to get out of bed this morning and I still had to meet these guys for breakfast.”
“Hey! The fuck is that?” Kiba asked, watching Naruto give Akamaru a treat, leaning over the edge of the couch and watching him.
“It’s a Tsume-san approved treat that I make when I have time,” Naruto said as he walked back to pour the hot water into two tea pots. “I started to make them while I was still in the academy. I had to make a few extra dollars and since then I liked to cook, playing with some recipes,” he explained as he put the lids on the tea pots and carrying them out. “After Tsume-san found out about some of the treats that I made for a few of the stray dogs around my old apartments, she wanted to check them out. A few tweaks to the recipe and suddenly I’m selling doggy treats through Hana-san’s clinic for some extra profit.”
Kiba stared at Naruto with wide eyes and an opened mouth, the group watching as a blush spread over his whiskered cheeks, Naruto scowling at the other man. “You’re the guy who makes those dog treats that cost an arm and a leg, but sell well?” the dog nin squeaked.
Naruto sighed as he put one pot of tea down onto the table and checking the other. “Yes, I’m the one who makes the treats. They’re all natural, have a little extra boost according to the dog size, and they’re all things that I’ve bought, hunted, or grew myself. I had to make money somehow after all,” he huffed. “And the treat recipes are all watched over by Tsume-san and Hana-san. They’re also safe for human consumption since it’s natural, but it’s not really geared towards human tastes.”
Crow snickered and went back to his paperwork as Naruto started to pour their tea, refreshing his cup slightly. “He’s actually working with Choji to create some new food recipes for missions.”
“Do you have any time for that though?” Kurenai asked him, watching Naruto pour. “At least with everything that you do along with your training.”
Naruto smirked as he sat back down with his own tea cup in his hand, the others taking theirs with curious looks. “Surprisingly, I was able to get some things done in my day before we had an idiot try to come after us,” he said, crossing his legs, the kimono shifting around his legs.
Kiba grunted and eyed the way the fabric laid over long legs, taking in the fact that Naruto wore rather soft looking house slippers on his feet instead of barefeet that most of them expected. It was looking as if there were things that had changed in Naruto that they hadn’t ever known. It was kind of off-putting, especially knowing that the treats that his partner loved to a point of begging for them daily came from the man before him.
He idly wondered what else Naruto had been hiding from everyone that he was now starting to show them.
“What has been going on lately, Naruto-kun?” Hinata finally asked, breaking into Kiba’s thoughts.
Naruto sighed as he stirred his tea. “I’m sure that you guys heard about the attacks against myself, and earlier on, Kotetsu, right? And of course the stolen files from the Archives to,” he said, getting nods. “Yeah, well, it wasn’t the first time that they’ve tried for the Archives apparently. Much less the third time as we’ve discovered. But it seems as if they had never tripped any of the alarms since they always stopped before tripping one and trying another entrance later.”
Kurenai stared at him in shock. “Different entry ways? I’ve never known that there are other ways that you can get in.”
Crow shifted in his seat. “That’s because they’re mostly used by the Hokage, the Hokage’s Chunins, and the ANBU,” he said, putting his paperwork to the side and dropping his feet to the ground. “They somehow got access to a few of them. We’ve since shut them down, and then put seals onto them so that only certain people can get in them. Those who aren’t keyed into the seal are trapped until we can get them. The rest are so hidden that any new ANBU or pet Chunin have to be trained as to how to get into them. A few older ones were cleared out and new seals placed up out of the way.”
“And all of this had to happen in just a couple of weeks, max,” Naruto sighed as he slumped in his chair. “On top of all of this, we’re short of people to put on rotation so that those who do watch over us have the time to take other missions and get some actual time off,” he continued. He rubbed at his face with a grunt. “It really doesn’t help that everyone so far who has come through the first round of testing has failed at least the third and final test, which is with Ibiki-san and Yamanaka-san.”
“Why is it so hard?” Shino asked him, sipping his tea, finding it perfectly made.
Naruto huffed. “Because of the simple fact that whoever watches over us has to keep what they see and hear as secrets. For life. And they need to be able to do so without a seal on them. Career Chunins are trained to do this, but we do have special seals that we take on willingly. It gives us that added level of security,” he admitted. “But those who have tried were all after the knowledge of what we actually do in our day to day lives instead of keeping us alive.”
Kurenai nodded thoughtfully as she played with her teacup. “Well, I was looking for an in-village mission to take since I learned a few things,” she said slowly, blushing as Naruto smirked at her, her team turning to stare at her. “What? It’s not like I can go on missions while I’m pregnant okay? I could probably fill in a few hours during the day and play gopher for the Hokage for a while. I’ll need something to do after all.”
“Congratulations on the future kid. And see Ibiki-san about filling out the needed paperwork to become a part time fill in babysitter,” Naruto said. He smiled at her over his teacup, eyes dancing. “The same goes for the three of you if you guys want to join,” he continued as he put his cup to the side.
Kiba, Shino, and Hinata shared a talking look before they nodded, smiling and settling in to enjoy tea with friends. Even when Kiba made a betrayed squawk when Akamaru padded into the living room, sprawling out next to Naruto’s chair with a happy puppy groan.
Naruto just laughed at his friend and scratched behind Akamaru’s ear for him.
