Am I getting Emotional

Training Ground 7…

After Hiruzen's shadow clone vanished from training ground 7 Kazuna who is still looking at the moon didn't leave the training ground but started making hand signs "Wood style: Four Pillar House. "

As soon as he is done with the hand signs and slammed his hand on the ground woods started coming out of the ground before splitting the soil and soon forming a house made out of wood making Kazuna amazed "This is truly convenient, now I won't have to build a cave when I stay in the wild but it's too late to stay here let's return home for now. "

With that Kazuna quickly used reversed Four Pillar House Jutsu and removed the house from the training ground before leaving.

---------------------------------------

"I wonder if he will stay outside yet another night and I would have no choice but to give his food to the beggars tomorrow. " looking at the full moon outside thought Honoka before she resumed making paper bombs using Chakra and Ink when a small smile blooms at the corner of her lips.

"Are you still making the Paper Bombs? " Kazuna who has finally arrived at the house asks with concern when he discovered the light in Honoka's room is yet to be turned off just like usual.

"Although you earn enough to support all of us however I also want to help you to the best of my ability, you have saved me and given me a place to stay so I don't want to cause more difficulties for you. " since she has covered the whole of Uzumaki compound with a seal far better than the one covering the whole of Konoha, so how can she not detect his arrival and knowing his query she feels very happy inside but looking at his childish face she says with a serious face.

At the time when most of the children of the same age as him are attending the Academy of the village, Kazuna has not only been supporting his family but also became a Chunin and taking missions of protecting the village and doing who knows what dirty works, at his age why does he needs to go through so much burden. He deserves better.

"If you truly feel grateful then stop stressing yourself with so many works and just enjoy the stay, although I have never said this to you but do you know how grateful I feel towards you. "  says Kazuna with a serious face just to receive a confused look from Honoka before he starts his explanation, "I think you are well aware of the attitude of the villagers and before your arrival, Naruto and I thought there is only the two of us remaining in the Uzumaki Clan.

For us brothers, we didn't have anyone but ourselves to call as a family so we will rely on each other for the high and low times till you joined the family, and the friends we made in our life are mostly from the mutual benefit but soon they became good to us. (At this moment Ino's image came to his mind) 

Well most of them now can be called people we can rely upon without much benefits in their mind, in any case after your arrival we got mentally support and your presence alone is more than enough to make me assured that we aren't alone and have a family.

So don't call yourself a burden but my spiritual support and someone I can rely on to keep an eye on my Naruto when I am out of the village. "

"Kazuna, I never expected for you to… " at this point, Honoka hugs him tightly as she felt very sad for him when the sliding door to her room opens as Karin asks with a red face before running away "Kazuna and Honoka what are you guys doing… "

"Wait Karin don't run let me explain, it's a misunderstanding. " says Honoka with a red face only to earn confusion from the little kid who is in her hug.

----------------------------------

Next morning…

"Come on Naruto get moving else we are going to be late for the lesson. " cried out Karin with anxiety in her tone.

"Stop hitting me, I am also going to be late not only you, you know. " says Naruto with a miscible cry.

"Then don't blame me when I accuse you of making us late again and you receive a scolding from Sensei. " says Karin with a serious tone as she pulls Naruto in a hurry before they start running.

"They are as likely as ever. " says Kazuna with a smile as he left his room after waking up from his slumber after hearing the commotion from the two of them.

"Yes they are always quarreling with one another but I have yet to find Karin blames Naruto for anything when they are outside even if she says she will blame him. " says Honoka with a gentle smile as she looks at their back.

"Yeah~ surprisingly she even protects him from the villagers and the Academy students whenever he is in some kind of trouble as if she is his older sister. " says Kazuna in an agreement since he clearly remembers how Karin protected Naruto a few days ago when he went to the Academy to have a look at Naruto's well-being and found him pranking some students not soon after getting himself into trouble just to be rescued by Karin this reminds me of the day we were saved by Hinata when we went to help her.

"Yeah~ she is certainly looking after him and it looks like Naruto is also hesitating to do major pranks like paint the Hokage face or the different stores and houses after getting scolded since Karin will find him no matter how or where he went to hide. " says Hinoka with a laugh.

"Man I shouldn't have graduated from the academy so early, now I regret not enjoying the fun with them. " says Kazuna with some regret.

"Yea, it would have been better if you had enjoyed the academy for a while longer but then again if you really did so then Karin and I might have had a different end instead of joining you. " says Honoka with a sigh as she wonders where would she be if Kazuna and his team never rescued her and he was still in the academy.

"Nah~ on second thought I don't regret it since after leaving the academy I have learned a lot... "

---------------------------------

After a warm breakfast with Honoka without further ado Kazuna directly started moving towards the training ground since he is also late for his training and it's not a good thing for him to make the Kage of the village wait for too long even if he is a perverse old man who is using his crystal ball in the middle of the day "What are you look at old man? "

"Rude as ever you never change do you Kazuna. " says Hiruzen with a nod before hiding the crystal ball and asking "Anyway, tell me what you think about making Honoka a part of the guarding unite of the village. "

"Are you talking about the team staying in the underground library or the Hokage tower? " asks Kazuna with a serious face.

"Yes as a member of the Uzumaki clan she is well proficient in the sealing Jutsu, so I believe she will be a nice choice even if she isn't at the same level as them. " explains Hiruzen with an agreement.

"Are you sure, she isn't at the Jounin level at all and might not be able to handle the huge burden or agree to join them since she wants peaceful life in the house with us? " asks Kazuna with a serious face don't tell me he wants to force her to join.

"I am well aware of this and you can rest assured that I won't force her into anything but only need her to inspect the guarding seal and upgrade the ability of the seal whenever she can if possible. " says Hiruzen with a smile knowing how protective he is to his family.

"Then I don't have any problems with that suggestion but you will have to get her opinion. " says Kazuna with a serious face.

"You don't need to remind me of that as I am well aware of the face if I were to force her into performing the Fuinjutsu and she has grudges in her heart then we won't even have the opportunity to prepare when she does something with the seal. " says Hiruzen with a serious face hope I am not doing something irrational and hope she can improve the seal of Lady Moto and Kushina.

"Since you know what you want I am fine with everything. " says Kazuna with a smile since you want to help why should I reject.

"Anyway let's begin today's lesson shall we. " says Hiruzen with a smile before he starts making hand seals "Summoning Jutsu: Monkey King Enema. "
