Ch: 6

It is early in the morning at the house of Tazuna and we can see all the applicants of the house begging to wake up while some are still trying to get in extra hours of sleep. Kakashi is already up and getting some early morning reads in before anyone can interrupt him. Sakura is still sleep mumbling about nonsense. Sasuke is up doing morning workouts thinking of his brother. Inari can be seen walking the halls to his mother's room. Tsunami is just waking up to make breakfast for everyone. Tazuna is on the floor passed out from too much drinking. Anko is sprawled out in her futon with one leg out and a plushie of Naruto close to her. Naruto is in the futon with one Rukia attached to his right arm with blinking eyes seeing where she is.

"Wow, that was the best sleep I have ever had in my life" she says looking around with sleepy eyes until she remembers what happened last night "so it wasn't a dream i really have a d-dad." She then tries to shake Naruto awake but he doesn't budge. An evil smile appears on her face.

"So you don't want to wake up ha papa, well I know how to wake you up" she then gets up silently and stands over Naruto evil grin still in place. She then jumps up as high as she can and comes down screaming. "Wake uppp!" she comes down with an elbow drop to his stomach. This causes Naruto to shoot up with wide eyes and he can hear a laughing Kasumi in his head.

"R-rukia-chan what w-was that for." He was able to get out through labored breath. Rukia could only stand there with a smirk in place at what she did to her dad. That thought makes her smile.

"Good morning daddy I just needed you to wake up so you can teach me how to write like you said you would." This causes Naruto to smile at her and pulls her into a hug. "Good morning to you as well baby" he then kisses her on the top of her head. He then puts her in a head lock and gives her a nuggie. This is the scene one Anko walks in on and can't help but smile at them.

"Well, you two seem to be having fun" Anko says with a grin leaning against the door. "Well when you two are done I would like to let you know that everyone else is up and kakashi wants to talk about training."

"Okay Anko-chan we will be down when we get dressed" he says getting up only for Anko to turn around with a red face at what she saw. "Oh my God he's so big it was sticking out of his boxers. Maybe I should check again to be sure I saw what I saw was real." Only to sigh sadly because he put on orange jogging pants and a black long sleeve.

"Okay Rukia-chan I'll teach you how to write and a little about seals while we wait for dinner." They then walk out but not before giving Anko a peck on the lips. They made their way downstairs saying good morning to everyone getting replies even from sakura. Naruto sits at the table and rukia in his lap jumping with excitement at learning how to write.

"Okay papa, I am ready, what do we do first?" she says looking at him with a smile. "This is a scroll I use to write seals In and I want you to practice writing your name, let me show you how it is done first." He then writes her name on the scroll. "Now you go." She then takes the brush and starts to concentrate so hard she even sticks her tongue out to the side of her mouth much to the amusement of everyone else. They then spend 45 minutes teaching her how to write and she is able to write her name fast while making all the letters in the alphabet.

"Okay teams I have some training I want us to do." He says with his eye smile to everyone in the room. " My team, we will be doing something that can increase the efficiency of your jutsu." This goat Sasuke up and ready to go immediately while Sakura also had a fire in her eyes much to the happiness of Kakashi. He looks at Anko and Naruto still helping Rukia. "Anko does Naruto already know the basic exercise" This causes her to grin at him. "Kakashi, he can fly. I think that's all you need to hear.

"Naruto-kun, I want you to do some training as well. Work on some more water manipulation. You mention you couldn't make waves in a still lake yet, well now is your chance." She says to him, making him understand.

"Okay Rukia-chan how about we unlock your chakra and teach you how to walk on trees while you see how awesome your dad is" he says giving her a foxy smile. "Really we can unlock my chakra that will be so cool." She then jumps up and gives him hugs and kisses all over his face making everyone laugh except Sasuke and Inari who have scowls.

"Why are you even trying? You're just going to die anyway, there is no hope for us." He says running off with tears in his eyes. But before he can get away Naruto hits him in the head with a water bullet that makes him fall.

"Watch your mouth brat you haven't even seen what I'm fully capable of" he says giving him a smirk to help cheer him up, only for it not to work and Inari still ran off. Then Rukia hits him in the head. "Papa, that was not nice you hit that boy in the head and he was already about to cry." causing him to sulk his head and everyone else to laugh at him.

Outside

"Okay Rukia-chan just focus on the inside of your body and you should feel it inside of your body and when you feel it I want you to grab it and then pull it until it explodes out of your body." He explains to her

"Okay daddy I will give it my all." She then begins to concentrate, sticking her tongue out again making him think how cute she looks. Only for him to look at his leg and see Kasumi between his legs in her fox form. "What is it Kasumi-chan want to see my daughter kick ass?'' he asked, smirking at her.

"Yes I also want to tell you about your mother" she says to the wide eyed Naruto. "She was my previous container and best friend but when she was giving birth to you she was kidnapped by some masked man and I already told you about that masked guy." she says looking at Rukia who is now sweating from what's happening

"Did she love me?" he asked her, feeling a little worried about something he always wanted to know. This makes Kasumi smile at him. "Love isn't even the right word. She was overjoyed to be a mother. She was up all night talking to me about all the things she was going to teach you, most of the time I wouldn't listen because she would just go on and on." she says laughing at the end. Naruto sheds a little tears at what he is hearing about his mother and that she loved him.

"What was her name?" He asked a little more control of himself.

"Her name was Kushina Uzumaki, part of the Uzumaki clan which makes you the heir to her clan." She says smirking.

"I knew I was from some kind of clan, the things I had just made it impossible for me to be some average child, especially if I was able to hold the queen of the biju." he says at the end giving Kasumi a smirk, making her stick her fox chest out. They are snapped back to Rukia when she releases chakra as much as a high chunin would have, making the two go wide at her.

"Dad, I did it, my chakra is unlocked. I can feel it all over my body. I feel like I can do anything." Running around and throwing punches and kicks in the air.

"Kasumi-chan, Is it me or does her chakra feel kind of cold to you?" He said to her how cold the air got because of her chakra. "Yes Naruto-kun, I can feel she is a yuki and has the power of ice."

"Okay Rukia-chan that is good now I need you to focus your chakra in your feet and walk up the tree like this." He then shows her how it is done. "Okay I have my own training to do so i'll leave some clones with you and if you need me just tell a clone and tell me." He say making 100 clones to go train with him.

"Okay dad when I am done I'll be up the tree with no hands." Giving him a nice guy pose making an echo of youth sound in the distance.

Later that day

We can find Naruto in what seems to be an ocean that used to be a lake. There are massive waves and laughter can be heard along with the chants of someone saying they finally did it. A massive wave 20 feet tall is about to crash down and we can see our blond hero surfing the wave with a shit eating grin on his face along with his laughter.

"Hahahah and they called me a mad man…they were right this is so fun I should take the gang to do this surfing thing I just came up with." He then jumps off the top of the wave and crashes in the water.

"Okay now I just need to finish the final step of water manipulation which is making the flow of a waterfall reverse and i'll be a master.I think I can go back now it is getting pretty late."He says looking at the setting sun. " I wonder what Tsunami-chan is making for dinner, some good food is what I need right now." He then flies off to the house of Tazuna with a smirk at giving a nice show to the spy. A girl about his age with long black hair and soft brown eyes which are currently wide as saucers at what she just saw.

"I have to tell Zabuza-sama what I just saw. If he is their back up we will most likely not win." She then runs off to do just as she had said.

Tazuna's house

"Damn girl can you get off the ceiling already you're leaving footprints all on my ceiling." A slightly drunk Tazuna shaking his fist at the girl who is sitting on the ceiling smiling.

"Why don't you make me you old drunk." she says, giving him the middle finger that she learned from Anko who is over at the table laughing with Tsunami who has a hand over her mouth trying to stop herself from laughing while Sakura is holding her stomach laughing. Tazuna goes red with anger and walks away mumbling about bad children.

"Hello everyone, the handsome and badass ninja has come back from his training." Naruto says in a soaked black t-shirt and white jogging pants with his ninja sandals. The wet shirt is hugging his muscles making all the girls stare even Sakura.

"DADDY, you're finally back." said a giggling Rukia who dropped from the ceiling landing on top of his head with a smile still on her face. "Hey I see you got the tree walking exercise down that's really great." he says rubbing her head much to her excitement. "I also learned something else" she then shows him her middle finger. "Anko-chan showed me how to do this."

Naruto then slowly turns his head to Anko who is sweating nervously at the look Naruto is giving her. "Anko-chan, why are you teaching my daughter such bad habits?"

"W-well she asked me to learn some hand signs and I thought I should teach her that for perverts." She says trying to defend herself from the wrath of her father.

"Not a good enough answer. I think I will give you 50 spankings tonight as your punishment." He says grinning at Anko who blushes and is scared at the same time.

"N-now there is no need for a-any of that N-naruto-kun." She says, hoping to stop him from doing that to her. "No, I will but now let's eat. I'm sure Tsunami-chan has made us some good food." He says quickly sitting at the table with Rukia in his lap.

"Oh Naruto-kun, you are too kind." Tsunami says red faced. Everyone sits down and starts eating, laughing and everyone talking about how their day went and what else they have planned.

"So while I was out training I made a whole ocean and invented this new thing called surfing and it is really fun. It can get the blood pumping and helps with control,'' he says laughing at the shock of everyone. "Naruto-kun, can you show me please? I want to surf." Anko says giving him the puppy dog eyes. Only to be disappointed when he turned his head just in time. "Papa you will take me right." Rukia says giving him the puppy eyes.

"Aww how could I say no to my little snow princes." Naruto says rubbing his face against hers making her giggle only to be stopped when a hand is slammed on the table.

"What is wrong with you people, why are you just sitting here laughing and talking about all this training like it will ever amount to anything you're all just gonna die so you should just give up." He says yelling at everyone.

"Aww come on kid I'll take you surfing as well if that is why you are so mad." He says laughing at him.

"Shut up, You are sitting here laughing and playing around. You don't know anything about this country or what it's like to suffer. You live in your comfortable village without a care in the world, you don't know how hard we have it." He screams glaring down at Naruto who had stopped laughing and now had his head down and eyes shadowed by his hair.

His one smiling face had been replaced with a deep scowl on his face, one of the likes anyone has never seen beside Anko and Kasumi. "Don't know how hard we have it, Don't know what it is like to suffer" as he is talking the winds pick up thunder starts to sound off the waves outside start to clash violently. " You really don't know how good you have it, do you."

"You foolish child, you have a mother at home who gets up and cleans up after you and your grandfather, a mother who worries about you, a mother who helps you when you are hurt, a grandfather who is putting his life on the line just so people like you who are to scared to do any work can live happily." He says all of this while the storm picks up and his hair changes white for a second. While the occupants of the room worry for their safety.

"When I was your age I was on the streets fighting for my life just to find a place to sleep and put food in my stomach. Fighting the people I am sworn to protect. But did I complain no I didn't I kept getting back on my feet." He says with all in an electrified tone scaring everyone and even Rukia a little bit who is looking at her dad in horror.

"For a reason I had no idea about until 2 months ago from a traitor who tried to kill me and someone I hold close to me. When was the last time you went into that town boy. There are kids your age and younger who are on the streets starving struggling just to make it past this week." He then gets up and sets the wide eyed Rukia in Anko's arm who is giving him a sad smile with a couple tears in the corner of her eyes. He then kisses them both. "Daddy will be back later I have to…clear my head." He walks outside and a lighting bolt strikes him and then he's gone. Leaving everyone speechless.

"K-kakashi-sensei, did all that really happen to him?" Sakura asked in a shaky tone not wanting to believe what she was hearing. "No Sakura it was much worse, Naruto was often in the hospital when the villagers would gang up on him and he would have to fight back." he says, shocking everyone. This makes Rukia clench her fist and she makes a vowel to protect her dad.

"You know when Naruto found me I stole all his money and gave it away." Rukia speaks up with tears going down her face. "I was living in a box and barely had food and clothes to eat but I never let it stop me because that's what cowards do and Rukia Uzumaki is no coward,'' she says running upstairs to the room she shares with her dad.

Most smile at what the young girl says while Tsunami, Inari and Sakura are still shedding tears. "Why didn't anyone help him and I was so mean to him I just feel so terrible." Sakura cries more when remembering how she treated him.

"That loser was just joking he was always pulling pranks and running around with that stupid smile on his face." Sasuke says only to be shocked when he is slapped by an angry Anko he is sending him massive KI making him shake like a leaf. Kakashi grabs her to calm her down only to be pushed off. "I am going to Rukia-chan. Kami knows she needs someone to help her with her daddy problems." Anko says walking upstairs leaving everyone to do whatever they want.

"I think it's best if we all go to sleep. We have some more training to do tomorrow." Kakashi speaks up clapping his hands and everyone goes to their rooms.

Next morning

It was the morning after Naruto had his little outburst at Inari. He just had to get away. He didn't mean to yell at the kid like that. He had to get away from his…daughter who was scared of him, "Will she leave me now that she has seen me like that? Will she think I'm a monster?" he asked in a scared tone.

The once forest Naruto was in now looks like a storm came through but with Naruto I guess that is not far from the truth in his case. The once tall trees were all destroyed and laying on the ground with some looking like they were hit by lighting. Naruto's clothes had scratch marks all on his clothes cuts and dirt on his face. This was the scene Haku Yuki came and was looking for some herbs for her master.

"That's the boy I saw yesterday, what is he doing out in the forest? This is my chance to get rid of him because Zabuza-sama didn't believe me." She thinks a little irritated at her master. Hovering a hand over to him she is surprised when something unexpected happens to her.

"Eep." A girlish sound comes from her lips when Naruto pulls her down and puts her against him. Her face is as red as a tomato. Something like this has never happened to her. She can hear him mumbling about how she was some plushie-chan.

"E-e-excuse me mister can y-you p-please let me go." She says red face when getting a feel of his body.

"What, why would I let such a beautiful girl out of my arms" A smirk playing on his lips.

"B-but I-I am a boy." trying to lie to make her way out of this position.

"Yea that might work on some bandits but It will not work on me. So tell me, did you come back to try and spy on me again." He says, giving her a foxy smirk.

This causes her to go wide eyed before making Ice senbon and jamming them in his chest and jumping back getting in a position with more senbon in her hand. "Ow that hurt." pulling the senbon out of his hand he then floats up.

"You know you should give your name before stabbing someone." Unbothered by the fact that he had just pulled senbon out of his chest.

"My n-name is Haku." She is a little surprised at how he just pulled those out of his chest.

"Well Haku-chan my name is Naruto Uzumaki but you can call me Naruto-kun." Giving her a charming smile makes her blush a bit. "On a serious note you are a Yuki clan member who can use ice release." Haku just nodded a little shocked at how he knew that because not many people were aware of that.

"Yes, I am and I am the last of my clan." She then goes to tell him about how her clan was killed by the civil war in kiri and how her own dad tried to kill her and her mother but she got away. Naruto can sympathize with her and feels a sort of kin ship with her. He then goes to tell her about his life and how they are kind of similar. They then spend another hour just talking and telling each other's funny story until Naruto drops a bomb on her.

"Haku-chan, I believe you are not the last member of your clan, my daughter I believe has the ice release." she is next to him in an instant with hope in her eyes at maybe finding some family.

"D-do you really mean it Naruto-kun, how can you be sure?"

"Well when she unlocked her chakra the area got a little colder and her chakra also feels a little similar to yours because they both have that cold feeling to it." Haku shed a couple tears because the same thing happened to her.

"I-i don't believe this I always thought I was the only one left, but she is a part of my clan. After this little mission is over can I meet her?" Haku asked, giving Naruto the puppy dog eyes with tears and a quivering lip almost as good as his daughter.

"Okay but you just have to try not to die and tell Zabuza to hurry up because I want to test his blade against one of the seven and see how good I am with my blade."

"Okay Naruto-kun, just be careful when you fight him he is really strong. Naruto smirked at her which unnerved her a bit.

"Oh Haku-chan, I thank you for worrying about me so much, maybe I should give you a reward." He trails a finger up her side and trails a hand to her chest but Haku backs up red faced and panting.

"N-n-naruto-kun we should not do that. I have to go." She then runs off with the basket of herbs and a chuckle can be heard from Naruto.

"Well let's get up and get going before they send a watch party after me." Taking off in a bolt of lighting he makes his way to town for a gift to apologize to Anko and Rukia.

Tazuna's house

"I swear when he gets back here I am going to feed him to my snakes." Anko could be seen pacing back. "Not to mention I didn't get my spankings." Rukia could be seen pacing with Anko as well.

"When papa gets back here he is going to get introduced to my fist." she says bumping her fist together.

"Hello guys I am back. Did you miss me?" Only to have to dodge snakes and punches from his daughter. "Hey, what is going on here?" Dodging an attack he grabs both of them in a hug and they start to sniffle a little bit and he hugs them tighter.

"Look I got you guys some gifts to make it up to you." pulling out the gifts they are both shocked at what they see. For Rukia it is a bunny onesie suit and for Anko it is a black trench coat with purple flames at the bottom.

They both jump and give him kisses on the cheek. They both say thank you to him but are interrupted when Sakura comes over to Naruto a little nervously.

"Naruto, can we go talk somewhere please?" she asked hesitantly

"Sure we can bubble gum." He rubs her hair, messing it up making a tick mark appear on his head. They walk upstairs but not before giving Rukia a kiss on the head and Anko a kiss on the lips and a slap to the ass.

The two go into Sakura's room and Naruto can't help but try to tease her about it. "Wow Sakura-chan If you wanted to get me in your room by yourself all you had to do was ask,'' he says in a sexy tone causing her to turn the color of her hair and Inner Sakura to pass out with a nosebleed at all the things she just pictured.

"N-n-no I-i j-just wanted to say get some things off my chest you know." she says waving her hands and face still red.

"Well there is not much to get off your chest so we won't have a problem." causing a tick mark to appear on her head. "NARUTO-BAKA can you just listen to me." She yells trying not to hit him. He laughs at her and then just smiles and motions her to go on ahead.

"I just want to say that I am sorry for having treated you the way I did and always being mean to you and hitting you for no reason. My eyes have been opened to the world a little bit at how the ninja world and how people are now. I realize Sasuke-kun, no Sasuke isn't the person I thought he was. I want to be a better ninja and person and I want to know if you can help me with that?" She says to Naruto with a straight face.

Naruto can only stand there with a stoic face and unmoving posture unnerving her a little. He then smiles at her and she gives him a little smile back. "Don't worry Sakura I forgive you but I can't feel the same way about you the way I used to. But it is obvious you don't have a strong male in your life so I will be that for you. You can now call me big brother or Oni-chan." For Sakura's part she can't help but let out how this has gone.

"Okay big bro, and will you help me with training?" Naruto wraps her in a bear hug picking her up.

"Of course I will when I am done with you Tsunade Senju will be nothing compared to you. She hugs him back feeling relieved and happy at how this planned out. Naruto then moves his hands down to her butt giving a squeeze making her go red in the face.

"Wow Sakura, no wonder your chest is flat, everything is going down to your ass. " Sakura is red with anger and embarrassment at this.

"Get your hands off me, pervy big brother." She hits him in the head and huffs and walks off.

"Damn she hits as hard as ever. This is gonna be a fun week. I'll run her in the ground for all those hits." He gives an evil chuckle that goes through all of the house making everyone shutter even Kasumi who is in the seal watching all this.
