Chapter 14: The Way Home

Anticipating the long-awaited meeting with Hinata, Naruto left his office, and then the residence, only halfway realizing that he was going in an unknown direction.

- Oh, damn it ... - it's late, at least eleven o'clock in the evening. People were still roaming the village and the midnight lights were blazing everywhere, only Naruto didn't know where his home was at all!

Slapping his forehead, the man sighed:

"If I ask passers-by where I live, it will be the best idea of ​​the day ..." - scratching the back of his head, he sighed:

- Well, in the end, do not sleep on the street, right? Hmm, - with a thoughtful look, the Hokage walked up to the first old man he met and sharply slapped him on the shoulder. He already shuddered and screamed:

- Ay! Help! - turning sharply, the old man stumbled and fell. As he was about to crawl away in fear, he finally realized that in this lonely alley he had met the Hokage himself!

`` Hey grandpa, '' Naruto sat down opposite and looked around suspiciously.

- Are you up to something?

- Uh-uh! No, Master Hokage! I was just passing by here! I swear! - he quickly got up and brushed off his jacket: - I'll go home, now!

"Wait," Naruto stood up and slowly waved his hand. With a thoughtful look, he looked around the old man and asked:

- Listen, grandpa. Do you know where I live?

- W-well, yes ... - he nodded stammering. That evening, he just wanted to breathe fresh air near the house and try to find the escaped dog again, but suddenly he met the Hokage himself! How can you not stutter here? In addition, Naruto looked clearly different from the TV, completely different. Some kind of calm, mysteriously calm! And the look is too formidable! The old man imagined the good Seventh Hokage in a completely different way. But, not that he was surprised at such a behavior of a war hero ...

"W-he didn't find out about that diner situation, did he?" Cheer-yert! "

The Hokage tapped the old man on the shoulder again.

- Lead.

- Eh? W-excuse me?

- I say, bring me home! Let's see if you are who you pretend to be!

- Huh ?! The old man was already shaking when Naruto added, "I heard a spy in Konoha, so we'll see. If you know where I live, so be it, I'll believe you. Got it ?!

The old man was so scared that he did not even attach any importance to such delirium, so he quickly nodded:

- Of course! Mister, come on, I'm definitely not a spy! I've lived here all my life!

- Let's go, let's see more, - the Hokage waved his hand.

It was then that he finally managed to find his home. A bit of a delusional method, but the timid grandfather was so glad to get rid of the problems as soon as possible that he did not attach any importance to this and led Naruto to the Uzumaki residence. It's funny, of course, although as soon as the old man ran away, Naruto shook his head in displeasure.

- Here, he brought me as if nothing was, he also ran away as if stung ... What if it's me a spy?

Finally, the Hokage's gaze turned to his own home. He looked quite dignified. Not to match, of course, the legendary shinobi and even more so the leader of such a huge village - the strongest man in the country and possibly on the planet, but still a bearable house, tolerant, so to speak ...

A simple two-story building with a circular roof, in the style of the Hokage residence, and the tiles had a similar red finish. Well, well, a large house and a wide courtyard, various flowers grew under the windows, and a couple of fruit trees to the side.

Naruto opened the steel gate and entered the stone-paved path. Climbing the stairs, he encountered a pleasant floral scent.

"Beauty ... There is even something in this" - touching a couple of sleepy flowers, the man smiled. The mood allowed me to enjoy even such little things. It's really nice to feel alive, and even in such a comfortable position!

Stopping at the door, Naruto calmly grabbed the wooden handle. He did not even think of knocking, but confidently entered the house, as the owner assumes.

The door was not locked, so he crossed the threshold without any problems, took off his shoes and walked down the corridor. The light was on only in the kitchen, the rest of the house was full of midnight darkness and mysterious silence.

Once here, Naruto was confronted with the pleasant aroma of freshly prepared dinner, while realizing his inner hunger.

"Ha ... Indeed, my first meal ..."

Stretching out with his whole body, the Hokage yawned and decided to have a bite first, and only then start inspecting his property: from the rooms in the house to his wife and children. He was going to rate them all properly!

With a predatory glint in his eyes, a completely different person arrived in this house. No one could have thought that everything would change now. A new Naruto has come to this house, very greedy and domineering - he will take whatever he wants! After all, he is the master here!
