Chapter 110: Guidance (Short)

Getting back to Konoha after a few hours of sun, we swiftly turned in the Mission Scrolls before entering the Compound, collapsing into bed and using this day to rest.

Sleeping for a few hours, I found myself under each of my women for another hour before getting up, using my chakra to heal up my aches and enter the kitchen.

Makoto was preparing lunch, and I slid beside her, glancing around and helping her as we started slicing some vegetables.

"How was Karin?"

Eventually breaking the silence, I glanced at the mature woman, a small smile on her face as she said "She was a little lonely yesterday, but she was outside for a few hours, practicing what her 'Aunt Cameia' taught her. Oh, and Naruto came by, which cheered her up. He said he wanted to tell you something..."

Nodding, I continued chopping away, listening to the woman as she talked about the young Uzumaki's and how they had practiced until dusk, before Makoto forced them to stop.

As we talked, the little girl in question entered, flinging herself at me when she saw me.

Hugging the girl back, I chuckled as she remained beside me as I continued cooking, her crimson eyes sparkling as she watched me put together a simple sandwich.

When Makoto and I had finished, my wives had walked in, Anko and Kurenai yawning and stretching while Cameia sat down quietly, her stoic face glowing slightly.

Chuckling at the obvious implications, I gave each a kiss before putting the plates in front of them, sitting between Kurenai and Cameia.

As for Karin and Makoto, they sat opposite me, and we all dug in, only to be interrupted by Naruto entering the house.

Like Karin, the boy threw himself at me, laughing when I flicked his head.

Giving him his own plate, we finished eating before I went out with the two kids, standing across from them in the yard out back.

"Alright, get to it!"

I had them go about their normal routine; starting with physical exercise before moving to chakra control.

After that, I had them do what I thought they needed most.

Sitting Karin down, I got the girl to go through some more chakra control techniques, wanting her to improve that first before moving to improving her physique.

As for Naruto, I had him show me his seals before telling him to stand across from me.

Raising my hands, I grinned at him, watching as the blonde shivered.

"Come on, it's not that bad~"

Gulping, he lowered into a stance before launching himself forwards.

Raising his fist, he threw a basic punch, before following it up with a sweep kick.

Nodding, I said "Good! Seems like the class is helping you! Not bad Naruto, not bad..."

Pushing his arm to the side, I closed the distance between us and shoved him back, before saying "Just remember, don't leave yourself open like that."

He nodded before resuming the basic stance, launching another attack at me.

Naruto's kicks had gotten a little stronger, and the boy was also more flexible than before, making me think of adding more diverse stretches to his regimen.

His technique was also more refined, and he had less openings then before; that first one had been due to him not warming up.

When I finished with him, I got Karin up and had them go through some more basic exercises.

Time passed by quickly, and laying on the ground in front of me were two exhausted children, which I carried inside.

Letting them rest, I made dinner before slipping away with Anko, my wife dragging me away for a quick session.

After feeding everyone, we all retired, the blonde trickster making his way home.

The next day was another of rest, with Naruto and Hinata coming by to practice with Karin, the two girls going at it as soon as they saw one another.

When that hectic day of keeping two hissing cats away from one another was over, Kurenai and I went to the Academy the next day, with me lounging in my room until all the girls came in.

Leading them out to the yard, I started getting them used to more physical exercise, starting small and wanting to work my way up.

Then, when Taijutsu rolled around, I started pairing the kids up and having them practice together, showing them how to block a basic jab and having them swap between throwing the jab and blocking it.

I was proud of all of them, watching over them as they started dipping their toes into learning how to spar.

When the Academy let out, Kurenai and I returned home, greeted with the sight of Cameia guiding Karin some more while Anko lounged around.

Giving Kurenai a knowing smirk, I chuckled at how she blushed before greeting my wives.

It wasn't time yet, but soon~
