Konohagakure no sato :
Nara Clan Grounds :
Seeing Shikamaru finally blowing out candles on that massive cake , Naruto finally sighs in relief . The Mother Alliance finally retreated and now he can finally breathe . A Shame that he still couldn't talk with Hinata .
Looking Around Naruto saw all the Clan Heads & their family's around together .
A strange envy crept in his heart , The Birthday , The Celebration and the Families that are together .
( But My Birthday is a death Anniversery.....not just of my Parents but whole village cele-... mourns that day )
After realizing the reality , Naruto's mood got into a trance and daze. The Subsequent events and the whole celebration goes by , in this distracted state . Looking around Naruto has only one thought
( ....I want to go Home , this hustle-bustle is .... annoying )
Despite his thoughts and state ,Naruto kept a 'smile' and 'joy' on his face while sitting with his friends who finally decided to show up
" You guyyysssssss....."
Naruto looked at Ino and Choji with an accusatory Stare
*jiiiiiiiii*
" Sorry Naruto , but Aunt Yoshina is scary " Choji
" yup and when all three are together , it's better to not be in their sight " Ino
" And What about me "
" You looked like you could do it " choji
" How could the Greatest Hokage shake in front of three Old women " Ino
" They were not that scary though "Naruto
" yeah , we saw that too but they are not like that all the time "
" yeah choji's right , don't think they are good people "
" My mom gives me lots of food but also works me to bone " Choji
" Right and mine , disrupts my plan all the time " Ino
" Ino , your mom said you talked about me at mom "
" ...........what did she say ???? "
" it's a Secret "
" you..!!!"
Looking at red-faced Ino , Naruto felt like teasing her more for abandoning him , At this time Choji speaks
" I have never seen my mother care a kid like today "
" ME too , I also never see my mother interact with anyone like that "
" Maybe because I am Handsome "
" Naruto-kun definitly looks good "
Somehow choji got depressed after saying that
" ......Choji don't be like that , he is joking "
" I am joking choji "
" Really , ......thank god "
" but why are they so good to you " Ino
" Maybe it's because of you "
" ME ..!!" Ino
" You are the only one who talked about me at your house "
"........ ShuT UPP.!! , I didn't talk any weird things ., Choji ...!! "
" I didn't say anything weird either , Ino "
Choji replies innocently
" Maybe they were curious about you guys new friend " Naruto
" Maybe ? " Choji
" But what about Kiba and Hinata's Moms then ...!!??" Ino
" Must have come to join the fun "
Naruto decides to steer the conversation away from two innocent children
" yeah ...that stupid adult stuff "
Ino also decided to drop the troublesome and stupid mature matter and her face finally regains healthy complexion after those teasings from naruto that made her embarrased .
" Let's go eat , I am hungry " Choji
" yeah , let's go " Ino
" Hmm " naruto
" Naruto , you can still eat...!!! after all that " Ino
" yeah , I have good appetite "
" No wonder we are friends , let's eat together Naruto" Choji
" yeah let's go , .......What about Shikamaru though ??" Naruto
"Ohh, he is gonna handle 'toublesome' things today , let's gooo " Ino
And so the Three kids head together , totally oblivious to the surrounding stares and attention.
=======================================
Nara Clan Meeting Hall :
" All right then , That will be all for today "
Saying his final words for the meeting today , Nara Shikaku picks some scrolls and heads out of meeting room with his trusted friends and also fellow Alliance members Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Chouza .
But the crowd inside was left utterly stupified at the surprised departure of him
' he didn't clarify anything '
' what does he me S-class secret after coming this far '
' right '
' A new Hokage huh'
' I think this is good though '
' but what about jinchuriki '
' and also his parentage '
' he didn't give a clear answer '
' He dropped some hints though '
' but nothing accurate '
' he wants us to investigate ourself '
' Shimura Danzo'
' i am definitly supporting this though '
' me too '
' let's go back '
==============================
Uzumaki Apartment :
After getting back from the party , Naruto finally felt relaxed at his safe house . Naruto thoughts drifted back to party and his fight against Mother Alliance
( That just made things easier.......I hope )
Getting surrounded by the Mothers of his friends was defintly troublesome but this defintly made things easier .
( I thought Kushina was only friends with Mikoto ...but Guess not )
Their eagerness and care about his well being did not seems to be an act , and even if it was
( as long as it works anyway )
HE also met Kiba's mother , Inuzuka Kiba . That one was defintly a Feral . She also introduced Kiba too .
( That was awkward ......but not that much )
Even before his 'change' , He and Kiba bunk classes or do pranks together but that was not some friendship but more about people with aligning path on same road .
And After the change , Naruto also sparred with Kiba and other students , especially now the sparring has become a weekly thing . Looking at it like that after his 'change' , He hadn't tried any conversation with kiba .
( His face was hillarious when akamaru settled on my lap )
He was definitly eager to meet Hinata . But
( .........just how did she even give birth with that kind of personality )
Hinata's Mother Hitomi Hyuga , their meeting was brief , and when the mother decided to introduce her daughter , She found Hinata fainted with a red face .
( She looked seriously worried .........I too was worried )
Hinata arrived at that meeting like a storm and took out the most formiddable opponent , Shikamaru's mother and also her own with her , giving Naruto some time to breathe .
Shikamaru's mother talked about all kinds of things and discipline .
Ino's mother talked about flowers and other things .
Choji's mother talked about food , nutrition and also choji.
Hinata's mother came back after some time but also left soon worriedly , She asked me to take care of 'Hinata' in Academy .
( Should I approach Hinata with this excuse )
Kiba's mother talked about her dogs that he found interesting
he didn't see Shino's mom though .
Naruto got up and started taking his clothes off while , his eyes drifted to another Invitation near his bed
( Tomorrow evening is Ino's Birthday party , She said to dress casually because it will be just us friends and not some formal event )
Naruto decided to take a shower and heads to bathroom
( Did Grandpa really allowed all this to happen ...... He definitly shouldn't have expected me to dress like this today )
While remembering Third Hokage and also his Grandpa , Naruto's mood got complicated , especially since his plan was a successful today .
His success of today will defintly give his Granpa headache
( I hope he takes care of his health )
sighing while feeling guilty , Naruto finishes his bath and decided to take a nap this afternoon as a relaxation.
===============================
Yamanaka Clan ground :
" Naruto ..!!"
Seeing Ino near her House gate , Naruto comes close to her and handed her the gift
" Happy Birthday Ino "
" yayyyy , can I open it , hehehe"
" Ino..chan..... aren't you gonna invite Naruto kun"
Before Ino could open her gift , a soft voice drifted over . Even without looking behind , Ino shivered and replied
" yes mom........Naruto let's go "
While laughing inside, Naruto followed Ino . Alas that laugh died down when he found the 3 most powerful members of mothers Alliance inside .
" Ara look everyone , Naruto chan is here "
" ohh finally "
" looking good Naruto "
And soon Naruto got surrounded by them and once again felt the fear of yesterday , but it seems like today they are not coming strong .
At this moment Shikamaru's Dad came over to address them
" Alright why don't you women let me take care of naruto now and see some other things "
" hmm Well let's check everything again then"
" yoshino let's go , let the guys go together "
following behind Nara Shikaku , Naruto felt a little nervous but also curious because of the changes that started to happen from yesterday .
( Without this man , I don't think something like yesterday party was possible )
While walking behind , Naruto looked around the house and saw less than 10% of the guests from yesterdays party . Not even Hyuga or Inuzuka were seen .
( is it only people close to them ??)
Naruto soon arrived in another room and saw Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Chouza together with some other guests . He has already been introduced with all three of them yesterday .
" Good evening Uncle Inoichi and Uncle Chouza "
" haha No need for all that , be comfortable naruto " Chuza
" Hmm " Inoichi
Chouza and Inoichi replied warmly and started small talk , And soon they directed him to other kids gathering.
( I thought it will be some interrogation , but it was just normal Dad talk , of studies and other stuff )
Going towards Shikamaru and others Naruto was pretty confused
" yo "
" Naruto , you are here "
" didn't Ino tell you "
" Nope "
" where is she "
" No idea "
" she disappeared just a while ago "
" What happened Shika"
" Tired ...!!!"
" from Yesterday ?"
" Yeah , ughh my back "
" want some chips "
" yeah "
" me too "
While chatting with Shikamaru and others , Time passed by and the whole evening goes by attending the Celebration . And Naruto also departs after eating dinner and bidding farewell to Ino & others.
( So normal )
Walking back Naruto remembered his previous life's Birthday parties & celebrations , Mostly it was same with some games , food and other stuff . But
( Being Normal actually felt good )
Totally different from his normal Konoha life , at the Yamanaka he felt like a normal kid , not a jinchuriki.
Going inside his apartment , Naruto decided to take a bath and looks at his new skill gains from these two outings
Sharp Mind ( Passive ) - A Sharp mind
Sharp Mind is the same as it's description , it makes the mind sharp , if keen eye notices things then Sharp mind connects and works like some wisdom processor .
Naruto thought he may get those Shadow Jutsu's or something like that , but this passive skill didn't disappoint .
Mind Hub ( Active ) - A Hub for the Mind Activities
From today's gain he got an Active skill that can be levelled up. and since he got his thoughts have become much clearer . there is still lots of testing to be done .
But even in just 1 hour it's already gaining exp. And has reached
Mind Hub Lv0 ( 2/10 )
( Is it gaining exp. by just thinking )
Skills mostly show their value at Lv1 , Dynamic Vision was the same , Only at level 1 did he feel the difference .
Getting outside of washroom , Naruto looks at the time to see it's approaching 9 in the night.
( Will this skill gain exp by even sleeping though ??)
Deciding to test it further , Naruto decided sleep early and heads to his bed .
