Konohagakure no Sato
The Hokage Office :
The Hokage arranges a meeting with his trusted aids . The Hokage recounts his outing and the status of the Jinchuriki and the condition of the seal .
Both The Jonin commander and The T&I Division Head notice the Distracted state of Third Hokage but they decided to not inquire .
simply because they not only Trust the wise Hokage but also it was just Troublesome.
" after that we parted ways and naruto heads back to his 'Home' , What do you guys think "
hearing Hokage inquiring about their thoughts & opinions , Shikaku glances at his friend to start first as this is his expertise , Inoichi groans but decided to approach the matter Proffessionaly
" Before the Jinchuri--"
At this point the Hokage intervenes
" Naruto , Uzumaki Naruto "
hearing this change both Shikaku and Inoichi were surprised but also felt a little relieved, Before every time they have this kind of meetings about Naruto .
Maybe because of the guilt or sense of duty towards the village , they always addresess it as a Status of Jinchuriki and has to be cautious about their own stand too , the same for The Hokage .
Hearing the change in address for Naruto , Inoichi's tense shoulders relaxed and he shares his thoughts
" Before Naruto's apartment was just a sleeping place and an undesired place to return for Naruto , because of not just the loneliness but also as a kid with too much energy "
Shikaku also speaks
" And that's why he wonders around the village , trying to draw attention with pranks and other things "
Inoichi continues
" Now it seems Naruto is comfortable and accepted his 'Home' and also Konoha , considering his recent outings "
at this point Shikaku raised concern
" What IF , he has just accepted the status quo and given up trying to connect "
At this both Hokage and Nara looks towards Inoichi
" If it was the same then Naruto would have stopped going out or maybe even loathe the village and himself , in my view the main point is , his change of perspective towards people and accepting himself "
Hokage inquires further
" Explain "
Inoichi continues
" Hmmm , Naruto hasn't really stopped approaching people over the days , He has stopped becoming attention-starved child , In his morning run , he responds to all greetings coming his way , He has also accepted people's reaction towards himself and his name .......... His always never give up attitude and Optimism has found New direction "
" hmmmm"
" hmmm "
hearing this both Hokage And Nara Shikaku hums and started reviewing his life and routine , during past Two weeks. The Hokage says
" Is it finding better life and instead of looking for acknowledgement and getting accepted "
Inoichi intervenes
" It's not about getting accepted and wasting efforts on those people but ...........seeing who already acknowledges him "
Hokage mutters
" Isn't it worrying , I thought his ninja way was to never give up "
Nara chimes here
" It's not about giving up , If it was the same then he would have stopped training to Be Hokage "
" Yes , Naruto still thinks he will be acknowledged by everyone by becoming Hokage but he also understand it's a long process and on his way to become Hokage. "
" instead of wasting time on these people it's better to train and become Hokage faster and while enjoying his life with those who accepts him as he is "
Hearing Inoichi's Explanation , The Hokage starts smoking and sucking his Tobacco pipe , It's then The Jonin Commander intervenes
" No one can get accepted by everyone Hokage-sama , even if it's you , having designed this kind of dream is just a punishment for child , even in academy there are always some who may not speak but always have opinions inside "
Inoichi also starts to back his friend
" Naruto is looking for bonds in his life , even then and now , it's still same only the process is different , He is also looking at village in optimism especially those who didn't get affected and still greet him the same instead of the Shunning Crowd "
The Hokage says
" Minato , not only did he use Ghoul seal but he also used a new Untested 8 trigram sealing , but Of all things he let out a gap in seal so which Naruto can become perfect jinchuriki , he may have had vision at that time for Naruto to be Hero but That same Chakra full of malice also affects nearby people unconsciously it's not all villagers fault "
hearing this The Nara and Yamanaka stopped the objection from leaving their mouth. The Nara spoke
" according to Other Village's Jinchuriki , their usual method to become Jinchuriki is to isolate him to outskirts and let Tailed beast and Jinchuriki 'bond' over time "
Inoichi says here
" But all those Jinchuriki knew about their destiny and have already accepted it , especially Tailed beast are only sealed after 12 years of age , just like Kushina or Bee from Kumogakure "
" It's first time a Tailed beast is sealed on someone's birth with such complicated seal too , we also can't help but be cautious , especially for The village "
Replies Nara and Office the office becomes silent .
=============================================
Konoha Academy Library :
It's been 7 days since His hospital check-up and this morning Our Blonde finally arrives at Academy Library on Tuesday . getting some basic 3rd year stuff , Naruto wonders around the Library to look over some other materials while thinking
( just yesterday the academy student leveled up to 3rd year after 9 sign-in , basic maths means 16+25+36= 77 days , the skill will reach 6th year academy student in 77 days )
But there is only 24 days left before academy starts
( hmm let's focus on some diffrent sign-in locations , let's start with different shops next week )
having decided the next course of action , Naruto shifts back and looks around Konoha Library.
The Library includes all scrolls , courses and additional Books , It's only limited to 6th year of academy student stuff , Anything further seems to Be Placed at Konoha Archives .
That includes different Ninjutsu to some Secret Techniques collecting over the years by the village and of course it's not free .
Only Academy Library is free
( hmm Medical ninjutsu related stuff )
Looking breifly at the bookshelf with too much books in it , Naruto comes to a conclusion
( It Only has 70 % of stuff that i got from sign-in and there are no jutsu's )
Thinking it over Naruto heads to the Librarian , the stern-looking baba
" ano "
" hmm "
The elderly woman glances towards the blonde
" Why is there no classes of Medical Ninjutsu in academy "
" That's advanced stuff kid , which class are you "
" In 4th year i guess , soo"
" Hm it's Too early for you but listen i will explain briefly , During 6th year or after graduating if someone wants to speacialize in any field , then they need to apply and pass that Divisions test , and all the materials here are the things you will need to study , Like Intelligence Department , Medical or even Sealing Division etc. "
The women speaks concisely and calmly to the kid , who stumbled in an empty library during holidays
" so that's how it is , but how to find which one to go "
"*sigh* that's what academy and life will teach you overtime and even if you pass a test , you will first be only an intern , later if they seem you are worth training you will become legit , For you little kid , first focus on this year stuff hmmm , Anything else "
" No , Thank you Grandma "
" I am not that old , little twerp , shooo"
Naruto runs away when he saw an Oni materializing in background
