Konoha…
Yamanaka clan head's house…
As Naruto entered the room he discovered only 4 people inside the house and a small cake with some dinner at the side not far from the table and the people of the house.
After having a proper look he calculated even though Inoichi is the current clan head comparing with the Uchiha clan head he is pretty poor just by comparing the living continuations of both of them.
As for the people, he actually doesn't know anyone except Inami who is in front of the birthday cake and after thinking he made some guesses the man in the back with long hair should be Inoichi who is Ino's father and the man with short blonde hair beside Inami who is talking with her with smile on his face should be Inami's father and lastly the black-haired woman should be Inami's mother.
'Should I really be here? It looks like a small family party and after looking around I think I am the only outsider in this party. ' Naruto thought with a complicated expression looking at the room and the peoples inside from behind Ino and her mother.
"Big Sis Ino you finally arrived. " Inami shouted with excitement upon seeing Ino entering the house I believe she just wants to eat some cakes.
Naruto in the background thought 'Wait isn't Inami her niece? Oh, right she doesn't like it when she is being called aunt. ' Naruto nodded his head after understanding.
"I have brought a guest with me here. " Ino said with a smile holding Inami in her hands.
After seeing Naruto Inami without hesitation jumped in Naruto's hands ignoring Ino and said with an excited smile"Big brother Naruto you came. Inami is very happy you came to Inami's birthday. "
"Oh, I am also happy to attend your birthday, Inami-chan. " Naruto replied with a smile holding her in his hands and after she calms down Naruto gave her his gifts "Here are some chocolate and sweets I brought for you. "
"Thank you. Inami is very happy receiving your gift. " Inami said excitedly and without care, she started eating the chocolates and with a blissful smile closing her eyes enjoying the chocolate she said "Good this is very good. Inami likes it very much. "
"I am also happy to hear Inami-chan is happy. " Naruto said cherishing Inami's head with a smile.
Looking at Naruto cherishing Inami's with such affection Ino started feeling jealousy and coughed asking "Inami-chan didn't you want to cut the cake? "
"Here quickly come inside Inami want to cut the cake. " After hearing Ino's reminder Inami finally stopped eating the chocolate and sweet's and came out of her blissful moment than holding Naruto's hand she pulled him towards the cake table and arriving beside her parents she asked "Make way for big brother Naruto to stand. "
Naruto who already knows he came without asking for everyone knowing and it might be Ino giving surprise to Inami but thought of ignoring Ino and Inami's father who is giving him the cold eye and instore with a professional smile stood beside Inami to help her cut the cake.

It's already a month from the time Naruto joined Inami's birthday and after that day he sometimes visits Ino's home to play with Inami as she is really happy when he visited her and looking at her smiling face he also felt happy because this is his first time making anyone happy without interest in mind or some getting happy without receiving money or gifts from him just his presence that is all she wants from him.
While he was playing with Inami from time to time Ino would also join them which gave her a chance to become closer to Naruto and after some consideration, he also doesn't mind her sticking to him like glue all the time and even started liking her.
As Naruto is getting closer to Ino by their side Hinata who is too shy to say her feelings towards directly started feeling nervous, uneasy and worried as the dread of losing Naruto started growing inside her because of how Naruto and Ino smile and laugh at each other sometimes even ignoring her.

Uzumaki Training Ground…
Today Hinata followed Naruto or in your words stalked Naruto who is now training his basic ninjutsu and developing his jutsus from those basic jutsus which he learned from Kakashi, who is now reading his Icha-Icha Paradise above a big tree's branch.
Standing above a small pond Naruto started making hand seals (Tiger + Serpent + Tiger) then shouted "Water style: Water Wall. "
With that, he opened his mouth and a small water wave came out of his mouth and formed a medium-sized water wall, then he nodded with a satisfactory and again made the same seal and using a bit more chakra he formed a bigger water wall than the previous one this way he made small and sometimes bug water wall to gain a better control over his water wall.
Kakashi who is observing him all along jumped doen from the tree he was sitting on and asked coming closer tk him "What are you trying to accomplish by creating big and small water wall Naruto? "
"I am trying to control my chakra better. " Naruto replied with a serious face.
"I see.." Kakashi nodded with an understanding fave than said while shaking his "But this is not the correct way to have better control over your chakra. "
"Then how? " Naruto asked with a curious face as he thinks the way he is doing is helping him pretty well in learning how to use chakra better than before.
"You need to learn medical ninjutsu. " Kakashi replied with a serious face.
"Will that help me have good mastery over my chakra control? " Naruto asked with a serious face looking at Kakashi.
"Yes, and to give you an example I would like to mention Lady Tsunade who is the best medical shinobi in the Shinobi continent and she has so good mastery over her chakra that she can maintain her transformation jutsu all the time without any effort whatsoever. "
"Then teach me medical ninjutsu. " Naruto demanded without any hesitation.
Hearing his demand Kakashi almost collapse on the ground but with great efforts, he held back himself and after balancing himself he said after giving some fake coughs with an embarrassed face "You see I am not a medical ninjutsu user, so I am sorry to say I won't be able to teach you that. "
Hearing him Naruto shouted, "The old man sold me defected stuff. I want a refund. "
I know there are a lot of mistakes but I wasn't able to find suitable words for the time being so I will use them as for the error of mistakes in the Name remember I use my smartphone to type so it can't be helped when the phone autocorrect or when I copy my chapter it gets flow.
