Walking up to the front gates of Konohagakure, his siblings walking behind him, Gaara smile slightly at the sight of the two desk Chunins where were tucked away in the small office to the side. He tilted his head to the side as he looked out of the corner of his eye, easily spotting the one ANBU who had perched on a tree branch. He wasn’t surprised by the show of power, instead, he turned his attention back to the two Chunin who were watching him. He pulled out his papers from an inner pocket of his travel cloak.
“Welcome, Kazekage-sama. The Hokage is already waiting for you in her office. She welcomes you to Konohagakure and hopes that you and your siblings find your stay welcoming. She told me that I was to tell you that she does have a place for you and your siblings to stay, even if it might be a bit cramped,” Izumo said. Kotetsu smiled as he took the papers from the siblings, writing something down in his log book before stamping the pages.
“We have to also ask that you head directly to the Tower. Rat will be your escort, and I hope that you find no insult by this. We do kind of need you to stay with the ANBU until you’ve been cleared by the Hokage. There has been a few problems,” Kotetsu said, smiling sheepishly as a lanky ANBU with a Rat mask landed behind them.
“It is not a problem, Kotetsu-san. We have heard about some of your troubles from our pen pals but not a lot,” Temari admitted, scratching at her cheek, wrinkling her nose. She shifted her battle fan as she told herself to stop the formal talk. “Now, outside of our formal business…”
Izumo just smirked at them as he finished his paperwork. “You guys are just worried about Naru-chan, aren’t you?” he asked, getting a snort from Temari, a leer from Kankuro, and a blank look from Gaara. “Here you guys go. You’re in luck. He’s with the Hokage today so you’ll be able to at least check up on him,” he said, handing over the three passes. The siblings wrapped the bracelet like passes around their wrists when shown how to by the two Chunins.
“They’re some new measure for the moment,” Kotetsu said, shrugging at the questioning looks. “Anyone who doesn’t live here that is coming in has to have one on them while here. Anyone who is leaving for whatever reason has to wear one while gone depending on the length of time that they’re gone. Or if they’re coming back they wear one for about a week or so depending on the person.” He smiled. “Whoever is working the gates also have to wear different ones.”
“They make notes of where you are and what you do. Amazing detailed work,” Izumo continued, leaning his chin on one hand. “Rat, can you show them to the Hokage now?” he asked, turning his head slightly to the ANBU.
“Of course,” Rat replied, bowing to the two Chunins, turning to the group and nodding. “Please, follow after me,” he instructed, walking through the gates with the Sand siblings, taking to the roofs just past the doors. The group ran over the roofs and were soon landing before the Tower, Rat continuing to lead them to the office, knocking on the partially opened door.
“Enter,” came Tsunade’s voice, Rat pushing the door open with one hand. Stepping past Rat, Gaara smiled softly at the sight of his friend standing next to the blond Hokage, looking good even in the basic Chunin uniform that had the Uzumaki spiral on the shoulder. “Ah, so it seems that the Kazekage and his escorts have finally arrived then?” she asked, smiling in welcome before nodding to Rat.
The ANBU bowed before he left, closing the door after him as Temari and Kankuro stepped forward to stand next to Gaara. Naruto smiled at his friends as he shuffled through some papers on the desk. “I have to welcome and thank you for taking the time to come to us,” he said as a formality. “Okay, now that’s out of the way, welcome back to the Leaf Village. I hope that you guys don’t mind, but due to a variety of reasons, you three are going to end up staying at my place. Gaara, Kankuro-san, due to some massive water damage, you two are staying in one room while Temari takes the other. And we’re also short a room since we have a guard or two with us at all time,” he said, shrugging a shoulder.
“Who usually is your guard?” Gaara asked as he took a seat when Naruto waved a hand to the small seating area.
“Actually, Gai-san is the one who usually watches over Iruka and I. Due to all of this bullshit, we had to move into my family’s home since it’s better protected. If we could squish everyone in, we’d have Izumo-san, Kotetsu-san, Raidou-san, and Genma-san, but we can’t right now. Iruka-san and I still have our apartments though, especially since the move was a sudden thing.”
“You weren’t expectin’ to open it up so soon?” Kankuro asked. He watched as Naruto moved to a small side room, watching the way his body shifted with each step, working to make fresh tea.
“We weren’t expecting to have to for another month or so. I had to do some massive clean up since pipes burst while no one was living there. As it is, you luckily don’t really have to share a bathroom with Temari-san,” Naruto admitted as he poured water into a teapot, placing the teapot onto a tray along with the cups and carrying it to the table, setting it down. He sat down and waited for the tea to seep. Tsunade was quite happy to let him talk for the moment. “Like I said, there’s water damage in five other rooms and four of my bathrooms. They’ve pretty much been stripped down to the studs to replace any support boards and the such. The builders are working to finish that part before they lay floors and walls, which will take another two days.”
He finally poured the tea and handed out the cups, Kankuro nodding when he took his own. “We don’t mind sharing a room,” Kankuro promised as he sipped his tea, eyeing Naruto as the blond smiled and tasted his own. As Gaara and Tsunade settled in to talk about what they were going to go over during the meetings that were to happen for the next two weeks, he took the time to really study Naruto.
The first real thing he noticed was that Naruto had grown up, quite a bit. They had seen that fact after the whole Gaara being kidnapped and Shukaku being unsuccessfully extracted from him. But he hadn’t seemed content with his lot in life at the time. But now, here, he seemed balanced, a contentment that came from having found something that made him happy.
And in a nin’s life? That was a hard thing to fine.
He was smiling and glowed with his happiness, even with everything going on. Even though someone had started to target the career Chunin of the Village Hidden in the Leaves, it didn’t touch him.
Standing with his siblings as the talks finished, Kankuro bowed to the Hokage with a smile. “Thank you, Tsunade-sama, for seeing us during such a turbulent time,” he said, smirking. “I hope that the attacks end soon too. I would hate for our allies to be hurt.”
Tsunade smirked at him in return before waving at Naruto. “Naruto here can take a couple of hours to get you settled in and to tell you all about what is going on and what we know so far. I have a feeling that having the three of you around will be helpful to us in the long run,” she said, wiggling her tea cup at him.
Naruto just sent her a look before he sniffed. “Let me go get Shizune. Tsunade-sama does have paperwork and it’s much easier to get through it when you have someone there to actually remove all of those bullshit papers and files that have no place on the Hokage’s desk,” he drawled.
“I keep asking if he’d just leave a clone behind but he refuses to,” Tsunade teased, Naruto rolling blue eyes.
“And I keep telling you it’s because we want someone who is a bit more solid than a clone to be with you just in case those idiots decide to try for you instead of us,” Naruto snorted as he stood and lead the Sand siblings out. Finding Shizune, he sent her to Tsunade’s office before turning to the three with a smile. “Come on. I need to key you guys into the wards so you can get in and out without someone with you each time,” he said, leading the three from the Tower and onto the streets.
Kankuro fell behind slightly, content to continue to watch Naruto, smirking at the way the other male moved with an easy grace, something that was delightful to see in regards to the one hyper blond. It seemed as if the last year or so had treated him rather good. He had grown up, disabled the idiots who had been after the tailed beasts for even just a short time, and found a life that made him very happy.
It wasn’t very long before they were standing at the gate of Naruto’s land, spreading their blood over the seals and being allowed to walk onto the land as he told them the same rules as he had told everyone else. They used a bit more blood to key the wards to them before they stepped into the house and moved to their rooms.
Once they had cleaned up, changed out of their traveling clothes and started the wash, they sat down to the easy lunch that Naruto had made before going over what had happened. Naruto huffed and complained lightly about having to tell the same damn story over and over again. He was finding that it was starting to get annoying.
Kankuro just continued to watch Naruto as much as he could, mentally smirking.
