(Chapter 6) Thirds curiosity

It happens been almost a year since Hayai's granddaughter, became friends with the fourth son. Much to the relief of the massive headache of the third who currently was smoking a pipe in his office. He had sent Anbu to watch over Naruto, and these were the lastest reports. There was also the fact that someone had been leaking the fact that Naruto was the container of the nine tails. Perhaps it was time he when and met the boy.

"Where is Naruto currently located at?" He asked into his empty office, Suddenly a Ninja wearing a kitsune mask appeared. His white spikey hair leaning towards one side. "He was on the Hokage cliff overlooking the village. But is currently making his way to one of the village rivers." The anbo finished his report, while resting one knee on the ground.

"And what of Hayai team, how is their progress?" taking a long inhale on the pipe as he finished his question.

"He said there would be ready soon for the exam" The white-haired Ninja replied. Nodding his head as he rose from his seat and made his way towards the door. "Very good, you are dismissed" and as that last word left his lips the boy vanished. Placing his hat on the mountain of paperwork towards the right, he made his way out. While moving through the building he smiled and nodded to many of the staff, Exiting and briskly walking down the road and towards Naruto. His mind wandered toward the decision that he had made, treat the boy this way.

Had anyone known about his true identity, other villages would have sent assassins. This was the best outcome they had thought of. The Son of a hero now was an outcast and shunned by his people. Mayhaps this girl would be able to change those feelings of the boy. But for now, it was high time they meet, and he gave the boy his own home. The orphanage had been mistreating the boy, but there was nothing he could do to help without it seeming odd.

He slowed his walking speed, finally reaching his destination. A little further ahead he could see Naruto sitting by a campfire, the setting sun ahead of the boy. It was a good scenery he thought as he made his way towards the boy. And the boy seemed to be distracted by the cooked fish he was eating.

"Munch munch" was all I did as the smell of the freshly cooked fish filled my noise. The campfire cooking 8 more fish. The stream gave off a nice calming sound when a strange sniffing noise caught my attention. Turning my head to the side I saw an old man. Startled I moved a way towards another rock.

"Wh-who are you?" I asked nervously as I leaned back to make the distance between our faces. Then suddenly the sound of a hungry stomach rang out. "Pff.....hahahahahahahaha" We both laughed as I reached down and grabbed one of the fish and offered it to him.

"Here, gramps, Eat this," I said with a smile.

"Oh thank you," he said as he grabbed it and started to eat "Oh Hot hot".

"Hey, Naruto you started to eat without us!" A girlish voice said from a distance. I and the gramps turned out heads to see two people heading towards us. Ayumi and her Grandfather waved at us as she sprinted over with a goofy smile.

"Hey, Ayumi I caught enough for all of us," I shouted back as she finally made it over, her grandfather only a few steps behind. His eyes landed on Gramps and stood there for a bit before moving closer. Turning my head to see Gramps with a smile.

"You know this Gramps?" I asked while turning my eyes back towards Old Man Kure.

Turning my head to look between my grandpa and the old man. Before staring hard at him, He seemed so familiar. "Ah, Grandpa is this the show off from your stories?" I asked as I tilted my head to the side with a finger under my chin.

"The one you said always put on a show and did reckless stuff around girls?" I added while nodding at my good memory while having my eyes closed. As I opened them and looked towards my grandpa, he looked hurt and pained for a sec before going back to his normal stern look. It was so fast that I couldn't help but think I had imagined it.

"Ah, a show off was I? I remember you weren't any different from me on that one old friend." The old man said while looking at my grandpa with a smile but it didn't feel very kind.

"I don't doubt it my friend but I'm sure we can hold off on that conversation afterward," Grandpa said while giving a small nod to the old man.

"Hey, Naruto have you decided on what you want to do? As for myself, I'm going to become a Shinobi!" I exclaimed excitedly as I throw my wooden Koni into a nearby tree.

"Yeah, I'll become a Shinobi but ill be aiming for the top. I'll become the Hokage believe it!" he said while sticking out his thumb and smiling brightly. Both laughed and eat into the night. Before my grandpa brought us home safely.
