11 - Shinobi food shop...

Konoha…

The twins' apartment…

After failing to wake up his own brother, Kirito didn't have any other choice but to answer the door himself. He knew he would have to open the door since his brother is still too young and needs to sleep a lot. He went to the door while shaking off all the laziness in him.

After opening the door with his small hand and rubbing his eyes because he had just woken up a little while ago, he asked the person at the other side of the door with a curious tone because of the early arrival, "Who is it???" He almost fell asleep again but controlled himself due to curiosity.

"Took you long enough, kid." someone said with a charming girl's tone. From the tone of the voice, Kirito understood that the person who knocked on the door must be a girl in her early 20s or less.

"Aaaammm!!!" A curious sound came out of Kirito's mouth. All the sleepiness went out of his eyes because of how curious he was after hearing the sound. He looked up to find who the girl was only to get disappointed to find that she was wearing an Anbu cat mask.

"Anyway, I came to inform the two of you that Lord Hokage sent me to tell you that from now on, you can get your food from the official shinobi food stall since no one is selling anything to you two." The cat Anbu said with a normal tone, but there was still a little emotion in her tone which didn't escape Kirito's senses.

"I understand, but I don't know where the village shinobi shop is located." Kirito said with a nod, feeling happy at the thought that the food problem could be solved.

"Don't worry about that, kid. You can ask Saito sensei for that. Oh right, congratulations on becoming a student of Saito sensei, kid." The cat Anbu girl said with a cheerful tone.

"Thank you, big sister, but..." Kirito said with a smile after receiving the good news from her and thought of asking some questions.

"Don't mention it, kid. Anyway, wish you good luck. Bye." Finishing her words, she disappeared from his sight.

"Hey, I wanted to ask you something. Wait, what is this…?" Kirito wanted to say something but found something in front of him.

"So she left breakfast for us." After opening the box, he said with a smile as he went inside the house with the box of food in his hand, which contained 2 bottles of milk, enough bread for them to eat, and even some eggs.

After putting the food on the table, the 3-year-old Kirito decided to wash himself up and try to practice his first jutsu, which is, of course, transformation jutsu.

After he was done freshening up, he went to his bed and transformed into a bird because he wanted to see if he could fly like one after transforming.

After successfully transforming into a bird, he jumped from the bed and spread his hands, which were now wings, but instead of flying, he fell on the ground, and his transformation was undone as he said, "Well, that wasn't what I expected to happen."

After trying a few more times, he wasn't able to fly but still tried to continue. However, when he transformed back into his human form, Naruto woke up from sleep and asked him with surprise, "What are you doing on the floor?"

"Nothing… Nothing..." Kirito said with surprise when he heard his brother and thought, 'I am not going to tell you what I was doing so you can make fun of me...'

"Anyway, what were those loud sounds earlier? I couldn't sleep and woke up." Naruto asked, as he was really disturbed by the loud sounds of Kirito falling from the bed after transforming into a bird.

Although Kirito became a bird, he wasn't able to decrease his body weight even after becoming so small.

"What sound are you talking about, brother?" Kirito asked as if he didn't know anything about it and added, "Oh right, go wash up. We are late for going to the park. Go wash up; we will leave after breakfast."

"Oh right." Naruto said as he quickly went to get in the bathroom.

….

On the other side of the village...

Ino is going to her friend's house to play as always. Although she wasn't able to come the previous day, she will be able to go today.

After climbing up the stairs, she knocked at the door of her friend's house.

"Ino, you finally came. I thought you wouldn't come just like yesterday because you got ill or something. So I was just going to visit your house when you came." A pink-haired little girl said while opening the door with a smile.

"I am not ill, Sakura. It's just that my parents made me play with Choji and Shikamaru the other day. You know we will be in a team when we grow up and become shinobi in the future." Ino said while going out with her friend.

"Yes, I know. And here I was thinking that you are sick and all, but it turned out you were playing with boys. So how were they?" Sakura asked with a smile as she stopped in front of Ino with a sudden push.

"That Shikamaru is lazy, and that Choji kid is a little fat and always eats. Though they are good, so I don't know." Ino said with a confused tone as she didn't meet those two that much, so she wasn't that good friends with them yet, and Sakura is her best friend.

"So what did you play with them?" Sakura asked curiously as they proceeded onwards.

"Well, yesterday a lot of things happened. First, I went to that park near the academy with them, where I met with the Fox brothers..." Ino said with a smile as she remembered Kirito.

"What?????" Sakura shouted out loud all of a sudden as she heard that and looked at her friend and asked quickly, "You met with those two brothers? Don't you know they are…"

"No, Sakura, I don't think what the people say about them is true at all, and they are nicer than what you think." Ino said with a serious tone as she thought about Kirito, who is different than others his age.

"What do you mean, Ino? Don't you know how much worse they are? The other day, I heard no one is willing to sell food to them…"
