Academy

After passing out because of fatigue and chakra exhaustion Haruto slept the whole day and while he was asleep Kushina stood by his side smiling and slept with him that night.

Haruto woke up from the sunshine entering his room. When he woke up he saw Kushina hugging him while he slept and smiled and got closer to her and slept again.

It was around 8 am that everyone woke up. When Haruto came out of his room he saw a man beaten black and blue lying on the floor. When he approached him and saw his mask he recognised him. The man lying down was Kakashi whose face could not be recognised at the moment.

Seeing him like that Haruto started to use his healing jutsu to help him relieve some of the pain. After some time his face was again recognisable and sensing that he was fine. Haruto woke up and started to walk towards the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for himself and the others.

After he set up the table he woke up Kakashi and called everyone. When Kushina came out of the room Kakashi paled on seeing her and gulped his saliva. He started to move towards the door and said, "I-I-I I should go back now." But as he was about to open the door Haruto said, "have some breakfast first sensei, I have prepared your share as well." Hearing which Kakashi forgot about Kushina and his face beamed with happiness."

Since Haruto's cooking was way too good and he only cooks sometimes it was lucky for him to be present at that time.

Kakashi vanished from his spot and was now sitting on the chair farthest from Kushina. Seeing his antics everyone laughed and started eating.

After breakfast was over Kakashi took his leave. While Haruto and Minato were washing the dishes, Minato suddenly remembered something and looked towards Haruto and said, "Hey Haruto I just remembered that your application for studying at the academy has been accepted and you can join this year's batch even though it's still early for you."

Haruto was about to thank him but he felt killing intent from behind. He turned his head and saw Kushina looking at him and his father and was smiling.

From an outsider's point of view this smile would look very charming but for those who are familiar with her would be very nervous.

Minato and Haruto gulped their saliva on seeing her smile. Kushina moved towards them and asked calmly, "nee Haruto, you didn't told me anything about joining academy, did you?"

She then turned towards Minato and placed her hand on his shoulder and said, "even you didn't told me anything huh."

Kushina's hair started flow randomly and her aura started to flare. Both Haruto and Minato were shivering in fear until Haruto built up his courage and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise and thought you would be happy, I apologize for doing this without your permission."

Haruto lowered his head and was about to cry but suddenly he was hugged by someone. Haruto looked up and saw his mother hugging him and was rubbing his back. Kushina was smiling lightly and softly said, "I am happy about this but you should not take these type of decisions on your own, you should at least ask your father or me from now on, understood?"

Haruto nodded and hugged her back. Seeing them Minato gave a sigh of relief and thought that they somehow avoided the disaster and gave Haruto a thumbs up.

After that Haruto left the house for his training leaving Minato and Kushina alone in the house. Minato was about to leave for his work but Kushina grabbed his shoulder and said, "where do you think you are going? You are still not out of trouble yet."

Minato gulped and thought, 'what have I done to suffer such kind of treatment?'

While Minato was relying on hope and was clinging to his life Haruto was with Jiraya and the others training and perfecting his jutsus.

"RASENGAN" shouted both Jiraya and Haruto and collided their rasengans and an explosion occurred and both of them were thrown away but still landed on their feets.

Jiraya looked towards Haruto and nodded satisfactorily and said, "your control and power are getting better and better, as expected from the student of the great Jiraya-sama."

Haruto snorted and looked towards Jiraya and said, "yeah yeah whatever you say ero-jiji." Hearing him being called by that nickname Jiraya got angry and glared at Haruto and shouted, "HEY BRAT WHO ARE YOU CALLING ERO-JIJI, THE ONE STANDING IN FRONT OF YO---"

Haruto ignored Jiraya and started to practice his other jutsus.

Like this his days passed by and now Haruto was seven years old.

Haruto has trained a lot during this time and is quite strong for his age. He is now capable of giving Kakashi a scratch or two when Kakashi is not serious which is a great achievement considering Haruto's age.

HOKAGE'S RESIDENCE:

Right now in Haruto and his family along with Jiraya, Kakashi and Gai are having a feast as tomorrow Haruto would be joining the academy. Everyone was enjoying the feast when suddenly Gai turned towards Haruto and asked, "so Haruto what would be your next goal after joining the academy?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards Haruto. Haruto crossed his arms and started to think very hard and then suddenly he smiled and looked towards them and said, "I guess I would try to graduate from the academy by the next year or so."
