I do not own Naruto, if I did... well... the plot would be more intelligible...
~~~~~~~~~~~
Naruto felt a pang of regret as he woke up the next morning. He'd had that dream again; the one where he was Hokage, happily married to Haku. The pain quickly subsided when Naruto realized that it was time to go see his new home. He'd seen it several times before, he'd heard rumors that it was the 4th Hokage's old house, and now those rumors were confirmed.
It was located on an obscure pathway in Konoha Park, so that's were Naruto went. Thinking ahead for once, Naruto decided that it was best that as few people as possible knew where he lived for the time being. Naruto used henge and transformed into a plain-looking carpenter. He then walked downstairs to exit the apartment building. As Naruto walked down the street, a small part of him missed the admiration that he experienced yesterday, but that was of little relevance at the moment.
Naruto eventually reached Konoha Park, as he walked through it, he looked at the swings, the lake, everything. They all brought back painful memories from his child hood. Everywhere he turned, it reminded him of his early years of isolation. Fighting off kids who tried to attack or bully him, wondering why adults snatched their kids away. Sometimes it got so bad the "Neko-san" had to step in and break up the fights. Even with all the painful memories surrounding him, Naruto was able to find solace in knowing that everything that's happened to him at this point has made him a stronger person.
Naruto finally passed through the park, and walked down the back-wood pathway. It led through a grove of cherry blossom trees, and when he came out, he found a gated manor, surrounded by the red gates his mother described to him in her letter. Naruto pulled out the scroll and unsealed his key. He couldn't find a keyhole on the gate, so he looked at the note attached to the key itself. There was the message his mother left him, but he'd never looked at the other side of the note until now. He flipped it over and looked.
"Just run some chakra through this key and tap the swirl on the gate. Do the same with the front door too. ~Dad"
Naruto nodded and did exactly as the note said, and the gate opened. Naruto walked through the gate and examined the long sidewalk that lead to the mansion. The lengthy path was made red and yellow stone, and on either side there were expansive grass fields with oak trees scattered along them. Naruto was confused at the well maintained appearance of the house, gate, and yard.
"I guess Baa-chan and Ojii-san had someone take care of this place until I got old enough." Naruto dispelled his henge and strolled down the pathway, observing the tranquil beauty of the area. He reached the large wooden doors and opened them with his key. To his surprise, he smelled food. The door made a loud sound as it slammed, and then Naruto heard voices.
Out of nowhere, an army of maids and butlers came from various rooms and bowed to Naruto. Then a girl, probably only a few years older than Naruto, appeared at the top of the stairs.
She began to speak but immediately trailed off when her eyes met with Naruto's. "Welcome to your new home Namikaze-sama. I, uh... -oh my-."
Naruto stared back with a blank expression, waiting for her to finish her sentence, but after a few more seconds, Naruto interjected. "Hey, you alright pretty-lady?"
She narrowed her eyes and smirked for a second before reapplying her air of professionalism, Naruto felt a familiar chill shoot up his spine. "... You're quite the charmer."
Naruto's eyes widened slightly, he gave her a blank expression. "I am?"
Mitsuki nodded, holding that same smirk. "It's just... I can tell you're being sincere. That's not very common among most guys, try not to change, okay Namikaze-sama?"
Naruto nodded and allowed her to continue.
"... I can understand that you're probably confused right now. We were commissioned to maintain this house for you two years ago. You'll find that the Namikaze estate is fully staffed for your comfort. We cook, clean, and even provide security for you." When the girl said security, the maids and butlers all took out their forehead-protectors and showed them to Naruto. She continued; "My name is Mitsuki Tachibana, and any requests you have for the staff can be relayed through me."
Naruto blinked. "Thanks. I'll go get my things and move-" Mitsuki put her hand up and stopped Naruto. "We'll handle that." Mistuki wolf-whistled and 10 butlers disappeared in swirls of leaves.
"Please, make yourself at home, Namikaze-sama." Mitsuki smiled warmly at Naruto. It was then that he took a second to really look at her. She had medium-length black hair, it was slightly wavy, giving her a wild, yet elegant look. She also had an extremely natural-looking bronze complexion, but her most distinguishing features were her neon green eyes, Naruto could swear to himself that they were glowing. Mitsuki's sharp features along with her clothes marked her as a ninja. She was wearing black ninja pants with white ankle wraps and black boots. She wore a kunoichi's halter-top, and also had a long navy scarf adorning her neck. Naruto looked at the scar on her chest and followed it all the way to her shoulder, which had an ANBU tattoo on it.
"Mitsuki-san. What did you do before this?" She placed her hands behind her back and took a breath.
"You can't already tell, Namikaze-sama? I was ANBU... at least until Orochimaru attacked about three years ago... those days are behind me now though."
"I mean... what was your specialty as an ANBU?"
"I specialized in assassination and recon for a few years, but then I switched to being an assault specialist... which is right up your alley, judging from what Hokage-sama has told me."
Naruto looked at her quizzically. "Years huh? ... How old are you anyway? Judging from your appearance, you can't be much older than I am."
Mitsuki gave Naruto a strange look; he couldn't quite assign a specific emotion to it. "It's impolite to ask a girl her age Namikaze-sama."
Naruto raised his hands in a placating manner. "Oh! I didn't mean anything by that! If you come with the house I figure we'll be seeing a lot more of each other from now on so-"
"If you really must know, I'm 21."
Naruto cocked his head slightly and grinned. "For real? You just act a whole lot more mature than you look, that's all... That's the reason I asked."
Naruto cleared his throat and turned to look at his staff, they gradually stopped performing their duties to listen in on what he was going to say.
"Hey guys! You all can go home for the weekend when the others bring my things over, pass that on to anyone who's not here!" The staff nodded and continued their duties, Mitsuki descended the stairs and walked over to Naruto.
"Namikaze-sama, what do you wish to do with your old apartment?" Naruto looked at her and realized that she was notably tall for a woman, likely 5'10" or so, she stood about an inch taller than the jinchuuriki. He thought for a second and then took middle road in terms of action.
"I'll keep it, just move out everything important, and I'll sort it out on my own."
"Understood." Mitsuki walked away and began speaking into a radio reciever around her neck in order to direct the butlers in Naruto's house.
One of the maids approached Naruto. "Namikaze-sama, would you like me to show you to your room?" He nodded in reply.
"Follow me."
She took him up the staircase and there were three hallways, one to the front, the left, and the right. She walked him straight ahead. The left side of the stark white hallway was lined with windows. Naruto looked outside and there was a courtyard with a fountain and patio, he could see some of the staff relaxing on benches and eating lunch, Naruto stared, dumbfounded at the elegance of the estate. Naruto looked to his right, the light cascaded through it's the windows, drawing attention to the potted plants and paintings on the wall. Most of them were of stuffy-looking old men with bright red hair. They all shared the surname, Uzumaki. When Naruto and the maid finally reached the end of the hallway, he saw the final picture. It was a portrait of The Bloody Habañero herself, Kushina Uzumaki.
The maid walked to the brown door and opened it, she waved Naruto inside.
"If you need anything, I'll have someone sent by in ten minutes." With that she bowed and left Naruto to himself.
He stepped into his room. It was vast and bare, with white walls. The ceiling must have been 30 feet high, and there were large windows placed near the top of the walls. The room had a warm glow to it, mainly due to the polished wood floors, and the natural light. To his right, there was a mirror that spanned the length of the room, to his left, there was a single bed, circular in shape, placed an equal distance from both walls. On the other side of the room, there appeared to be a bathroom and closet. Naruto took off his haori and placed it on the bed. He saw two pictures of his parents, one looked to be a wedding photo, and the other was of the Minato and a pregnant Kushina. Naruto took notice of a TV remote on the nightstand, and became confused when he looked at the rest of the room. Failing to find a TV in all its vastness. Naruto shrugged and pressed the power button, he jumped when several floorboards rose from the ground. A flatscreen TV was beneath them, and it flipped to Konoha's news station. Naruto nodded in approval and retracted the TV back into the floor. "I could get used to this."
Ino walked through the streets of Konoha, mainly to run errands. It's not like she needed to though, she was just hoping that she'd run into Naruto by some stroke of luck. She'd figured he'd stop by for more flowers at some point for his departed significant other. Having spoken with Sakura the day before, Ino understood that she'd eventually have some competition for Naruto from Sakura, at least when she gets it through her forehead that she loves him, but until that day, she had plenty of time. Time wasn't an issue, but Ino didn't want to wait.
Her experiences with Naruto had all been rather limited, there was that one mission to the land of noodles she had with him. If her memory served correctly, she was a body double for Princess Fuku, the whole thing turned out to be a waste of time anyway, mainly because Naruto blew their cover and somehow solved the problem at the same time.
"Meh… none of that matters now anyway."
Ino continued to walk down the street, eventually she realized that she'd subconsciously led herself to Naruto's apartment building, she'd gone there before to wake him up when they went on their mission together.
Ino nearly fell flat on her face, she didn't have a legitimate reason to be there, so knocking on his door would get awkward. Especially because of what Sakura had told her about Naruto. The guy was a walking lie detector, according to her best friend, he could just tell. Ino thought for a second, and eventually, she came up with something that would work. She jumped to the nearest roof and quickly sprinted back to the flower shop and grabbed the same type of bouquet she recommended to Naruto the day before. She wrapped it in plastic so that it wouldn't be ruined when she sprinted back to Naruto's apartment.
Having reached her destination for the second time, Ino walked into the building and waited to catch her breath before going up the stairs. She reached his door and knocked. "Well, if he's not here." Ino pulled a pen out of her purse and wrote on the bouquet's card.
"Naruto I'm sorry about your friend. Here are some more flowers for when the other ones wither. Just keep these in sugar water until you need them. If you need anyone to talk to, I'm perfectly willing to listen.
~ Ino Yamanaka"
Ino read over the card one more time, and prepared to leave it on the doorstep, but then she figured she should knock one more time for good measure. Just before her knuckles hit the door, it began to open. Ino's heart sped up and she began to speak.
"Hey, Naruto? … This is the right house isn't it?" She looked confused as ten men carrying boxes walked out, the first nine ignoring her. The tenth stopped and addressed Ino.
"You're looking for Naruto Uzumaki?"
"Yes. I wanted to give him these." Ino motioned to the flowers.
"We're just moving his things out... one moment." The man stopped and listened to someone on his earpiece.
Ino looked at the man worriedly. "He hasn't been evicted or something, has he?"
The man shook his head. "Oh heavens no! We're merely moving his things to his new house!"
"Oh. Well could you give these to him for me, since he's busy with moving in and all?" Ino handed the flowers to the man, but he refused them.
"Please, gifts are best given in person. Follow me… you're a ninja correct?"
Ino nodded.
"Then we can take the rooftops, much quicker than the streets, no?"
"Sure." Ino smiled, but inwardly groaned at more high-speed travel. She'd done plenty of sprinting across roofs in the past 15 minutes.
She followed the black clad man over roofs, toward the more expensive side of Konoha, Ino was beginning to become impressed. Naruto must have gone on some crazy S-Rank missions to be able to afford this part of town. After all the jumping, Ino and the butle landed in Konoha park, next to the lake. It was pretty this time of year, all of the cherry blossoms were blooming.
Ino began to stare at the lovely sight, but then she realized that the mysterious man began to walk down a deteriorated trail that looked all too familiar. "But that's where the 4th Hokage lived."
Ino eagerly followed the man until they reached a red gate with a gold swirl on it. He tapped the swirl and the gate slid open, he motioned for Ino to follow him. Ino looked around, dumbfounded at the beauty of the estate. The vast emptiness of the front yard save for a few trees and the house itself, made it strangely relaxing to look at.
The man led Ino through the front door, and she was startled by the liveliness of the house. Butlers and maids were walking all through the foyer, idle chit chat and greetings peppered Ino's ears. The man she followed whistled and a maid came over, he told her to take Ino to see Naruto.
The maid looked Ino up and down. "Are you Nami- … Uzumaki-sama's girlfriend?"
Ino muttered under her breath. "Not yet…" She looked back up at the maid and gave a less obvious answer. "Not exactly, we're just friends."
The maid smirked at Ino knowingly. "Good luck." She motioned for Ino to follow her up the stairs. Ino was taken aback at the beautiful simplicity of the grounds, she noticed on her right, some familiar pictures she'd seen in her history books… the Uzumaki Clan! … "I always thought it was a coincidence that Naruto's last name was Uzumaki. He doesn't look it at all."
The maid looked back at Ino as they walked toward a brown door at the end of the hallway. "There are many things about Uzumaki-sama that aren't common knowledge."
The maid knocked on the door. "Uzumaki-sama? You have a visitor."
A muffled voice replied soon after. "Come in!" The maid opened the door and walked in with Ino.
"Hey Ino!" Naruto waved and smiled.
Ino flushed a bit, as Naruto wasn't wearing a shirt. He was standing on a small pedestal in the middle of the large room. The maid smiled coyly at Ino and shut the door.
"Hey Naruto. I brought these in case you needed more flowers for… her. The first bouquet should keep for a few more days."
"Thanks!"
"No problem." Ino stared at Naruto absentmindedly, her eyes tracing the scratches, scars, and other muscles on his body, the way the light hit him on the pedistal made him look rather statuesque. Several dirty thoughts ran through her head. "What are you doing?"
Naruto thought for a second and scratched his head. He turned to the far side of the vast room and yelled. "Mitsuki-chan!"
Ino's heart jumped into her throat when she saw a beautiful girl walk out of Naruto's closet, her wild black hair only drew attention to her lime-green eyes, piercing in their brightness. She was carrying something red and white and handed it to Naruto. She looked at Ino quizzically, and then smiled.
Naruto talked to her. "What exactly are we doing again?"
"It's called hemming. Now put this on."
"Yeah, sure."
Naruto put the haori on, and Ino's heart jumped into her throat… again. He looked exactly like the 4th Hokage in all the pictures of him. It all made sense now, why he was living in this house, why there were always ANBU near him when he was a kid. He was the-…
Why is she touching him like that?!
Ino's heart jumped into her throat for a 3rd time when Mistuki also stepped on top of the pedestal. She was standing rather close to Naruto, close enough for her breasts to press against his chest. Mitsuki failed to notice the slight tint of red on Naruto's face as she was pulling the measuring tape behind his back. She finished measuring the Haori in relation to Naruto, and in one swift motion, she'd taken the coat off of Naruto, exposing his upper body. She took one last set of measurements for his torso, brazenly touching him all over. Naruto continued to blush, her soft hands touched his entire torso with surgical precision, he could feel her breathing the rise and fall of her chest was especially obvious as her own pressed against his.
Ino was annoyed and worried at the same time, she'd never seen this girl before, yet over the span of a day, she was able to get this close to Naruto. With all her experience in acting, Ino was able to hide her annoyance, well, most of it.
She smiled and introduced herself after Mitsuki stepped off the stool.
"Hi! I'm Ino Yamanaka!" She offered Mitsuki her hand.
Mitsuki took it and replied. "I'm Mitsuki Tachibana." She paused and smirked. "So, what's your relationship to Uzumaki-sama."
Ino's eye twitched at the emphasis on your, and how's she get off calling him Uzumaki-sama? It's like she was mocking her.
"Eh? We're friends." Ino worked up her courage and completely readied herself to look like a fool. "What's your relationship with Naruto-kun?"
Mitsuki's extremely bright eyes made Ino freeze as they stared at each other. Mitsuki's expression was blank, and after a pause, she spoke. "I'm his escort."
"Escort." The word echoed through her head over and over. Ino smiled menacingly. She had to restrain herself from punching Mitsuki, but then she looked at Naruto, who was as confused as ever.
"Eh? You're my escort? I don't need a bodyguard."
Mitsuki sighed. "...You ruined the joke, Uzumaki-sama." Mitsuki's demeanor switched to business mode instantly. "As I said, I'm Mitsuki Tachibana, I'm the staff director at the Uzumaki estate, and personal aide to Naruto Uzumaki. I also serve as his bodyguard… not his escort."
"Nani? Then what's an escort?"
Ino piped in. "Don't worry about it Naruto." Ino was relieved. This Mitsuki girl and Sakura may have constant access to Naruto, but the green-eye goddess was duty-bound, and Sakura was too stubborn to understand her feelings.
"Hey, Mitsuki-chan? Can you put these in some sweet water?"
Ino corrected Naruto. "Sugar water."
Naruto corrected himself. "Oh… Sugar water?"
Mitsuki took the flowers from Ino and walked to the door. She bowed and smirked at Ino, "Good luck!" Ino's eye twitched again, this girl had to be trolling her.
Ino turned to Naruto, and was reminded of her earlier revelation.
"Naruto? Just who exactly are you?"
Naruto looked at Ino, she seemed trustworthy enough, besides, she could read his mind if she wanted to.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. Sole surviving member of the Uzumaki clan, and son of the Yondaime Hokage." Naruto shut his eyes… but then they burst open and he started yelling.
"BUT I REFUSE TO LIVE IN THE SHADOW OF MY PARENTS! I'LL MAKE MY OWN MARK ON THIS WORLD DATTEBAYO!"
Ino jumped a bit at his sudden outburst, but was calmed down when she really took notice of how much muscle Naruto put on over the past 2 and a half years. She stared, fantasizing of dirty things, at least until she heard Naruto begin speaking again.
"Oi Ino! I'm going out to eat, wanna come?"
Ino looked at Naruto and raised her eyebrow. "Only if I get to choose the place."
Naruto pouted for a second, and finally agreed.
Ino nodded and went into her purse for her hand mirror, she pulled her hair tie off and swung her hair. She fluffed her locks and let some hair cover one of her eyes so that it gave her a more exotic look. Ino looked in the mirror, satisfied, she put it back in the purse. Then she took her black skirt, and hiked it up so that it was just past halfway between her knee and hip. She rolled the waistband down to match the appearance of a miniskirt, and allow her midriff to be seen when she made her final adjustment. She took her baggy white t-shirt and pulled on the neck until she heard a satisfying pop. She let go and her cleavage was visible. She then tied a knot with the bottom of the shirt, it allowed Naruto to see her well toned stomach. Ino pulled her forehead protector from her purse and tied it around her neck. She smiled.
Naruto, stared, dumbfounded, as Ino went from unremarkable to head turning in about 45 seconds. "So, where are we going, Ino-chan?"
"Maybe you should put a shirt on first, or… actually, feel free not to."
"Heheh. Yeah! I'll to that." Naruto walked into his closet on the far side of the room
Ino walked over to the wall length mirror and put on her makeup, she smirked and mused to herself. "All I need is three dates, just three." She deviously giggled to herself, the hairs on Naruto's neck stood on end.
"Eh? It's that feeling again… Whatever."
