Konohagakure No sato :
Uzumaki Apartment :
The Usual silence that constantly lingers the orphan's apartment seems to be absent today . The whole apartment is filled with the voices of Naruto and the newest addition of the family .
Both of them still bickering on the terrace , under the watchful eyes of ANBU and an OWl .
" I told you , Boruto is a good name "
" *yiiiiiip*yiiiiiii* "
" don't be like that .....this is a name , I thought for my son you know , do you understand it's importance "
" *wooooo*wwwooooooooooo* "
" ALRIGHT Alright , I get it , Stop crying will you "
The pup finally stops his acting , and looks at Naruto , his eyes means Business .
" *yi*yip* "
"..... you can act ehh. "
( ...and he is only 1 month old )
Naruto bends down and picks up the puppy and holds him high , just like before . The Puppy felt Deja Vu and starts to warn him in advance .
" *grr*grrrrrrrr* "
" ....Simba "
"..." PUPPY
"..." OWl
" ...." X 4 ANBU
" Simba , it means King of the jungle .....how is it "
Naruto uses Hound Senses skill to covey his feeling , And the Pup soon relaxes and joyfull growled
" *yip*yiiippppp* "
Naruto gets inside the apartment while closing his terrace , He keeps Simba in his arms and approaches his Toilet
" Alright , don't forget to shit "
Seeing Naruto disrespectful behaviour , Simba growls and barks
"*woooooff*wooofff*"
" .....what do mean get out , .....how are you gonna reach toilet , you pipsqueak shorty "
" *woooooooo*woooooooooo* "
" ...Alright , I get it "
( even dog has more brain than me )
Naruto puts Simba down , and goes to collect Toiletpaper , Rolling it he puts the toilet paper down and leaves the Toilet , but
" *wof*woof* "
" ..... "
hearing Simba's command Naruto's eyes twitched , he came back and closes the door .
( with that attitude , He may become the king of the House soon )
Naruto grumbled and decided to brush his Teeth , while waiting for HIS MAJESTY . The wait didn't take long , after washing his teeth Naruto soon heard his summons
" *yiiii* "
Naruto opens the door and let Simba out , while going inside Naruto said to simba .
" Go to your own bed , not mine "
" *woooo* "
" A King has his own bed , you understand "
" *yip*yip* "
Naruto goes his morning routine , after taking a bath he gets out and notices the time
7:30 AM
( I forgot the morning training with Lee .....slepping late again *sigh* )
Despite being a holiday , Yesterday was a tiring day , from going to different shops around konoha , preparations for the feast and finally the Inuzuka's .
Even though it was a happy day .
( ....Mentally exhausting )
Before deciding to cook breakfast and his Lunchbox , Naruto goes to his new companions . Afterall they are all equally important and need their names too .
He first approached the nearest terrace and connects his Avian Skill with the Ravens . The Level 2 Avian Skill , it's total range of connection is now 200 meters and now he can also link with two birds instead of one .
Before Naruto can only link with one bird but now he can simultaneously connect with both the Ravens.
" alright , now you Husband and Wife "
"...*caw* "
" *caa* "
The ravens responded in their own way and waits silently for their names
" You look like twins .....So the male one 'Ram' and the female one 'Rem' "
" *caaa* "
" *caw* "
Naruto understood their meaning with his Avian Link skill .
" A Surname ??? "
" *caw* "
The Male one cawed again to express his feelings
".....how about 'Kurogane' ....Kurogane Ram & Kurogane Rem "
" *cawww* "
" what does it mean ??? ....it means 'Black Steel' I guess "
"*caw*"
"*caww*"
Seeing the couple happily chirping , expressing their acknowledgement for the names and also acccepting him , Naruto smiled and walks over to the last one .
( all Ninja Animals are intelligent , ..... their intelligence will only increase over time )
The difference between normal animals and Ninja animals is actually the same , just like Shinobi and a Civilian .
( Chakra )
The reason these animals were so costly was simply because when he bought them from the shop , they all came with their chakra activated . And Chakra is a fusion of physical energy and spiritual energy .
You may help in activating or sensing chakra for one , but a talent like that is really one in thousands . All animals have much less threshold , especially because of their spiritual energy .
( well , I don't know nor do I care how they helped animals to 'awaken' their chakra )
Naruto still wonders did how he got them cheaply , but soon remembered the Inuzuka clan , and Tsume's 'coincidence' visit .
( they must be controlled 'goods', just like jutsus )
Naruto winces at that word , but soon put the matter behind and once again comes face to face with the scary and spooky owl .
Looking at the owl , Naruto considered his options
( The Owl is female , so a feminine name ???)
The 4 pets that he brought yesterday , Simba is male , The Ravens are a couple and the Owl is another female . After selecting the Owl , Tsume instructed Naruto to find a young ones to connect better .
The Ravens are not even year old , But The Owl was preety old , So they brought this new one in the same species.
" alright Miss , It's your turn "
Naruto connects with the Owl and spoke up
" *...* "
The only response he got was a simple stare
" a woman of few words , I see "
" *....* "
( Damn , she is scary , and it's morning )
Naruto noticed her eyes and silky black feather , different from the Ravens . naruto also remembered her spooky eyes in the night and now this silent presence like some ghost .
" ... Sadako "
"..."
"..ok ??"
" *hoot* "
The Owl hoots at Naruto , her expression of acceptence and a clear dismissal of naruto
" ...what do you mean ' ok , now don't bother me '"
" *hoo*hoo* "
" ....don't you want a surname "
" *hoo* "
The Owl rolled her eyes and flies away , She flies across the roofs and takes a seat on top of a pole .
" ...what the hell .... are you Uchiha or what...SO ARROGANT "
Naruto keeps the Avian Link active and keeps the connection with Ram & Sadako. Naruto heads to the Kitchen , but before going inside he calls out to Sadako .
" ...It's cold outside , come back in , I am preparing breakfast "
Saying his piece Naruto moves to the Kitchen and gets busy , He notices Simba sprawled on his bed like some King , and wonders where did things go wrong
( ....I am really a servant now , and everyone is a king )
Before Naruto can think further , he notices Ram coming inside and perching on the chair
" *caw* "
".....nah , I don't need help , just relax "
( It seems like , Avian Link Skill's connection also sends the message to both birds at once )
Naruto remembered that he send the message to Sadako , but now it seemed both the birds , Ram & Sadako received the message .
( next time , i will address them with their names )
Naruto starts preparing his breakfast and Lunch , He already got the food for the pets , so he didn't need to prepare for that , but he still prepared some snack , like some pre-prepared jerky or rice grains for the birds and the pup .
Picking up Simba , he dresses him in his winter clothes , Naruto gets ready to attend the Academy , before leaving Naruto says goodbye to Sadako and then connects with the Raven Couple .
( Ram , Ren ....you both follow me to the Academy )
Sadako being an Owl and Nocturnal , Naruto decided to bring the Ravens . Seeing everyone well fed and ready , Naruto heads out .
=====================================
Konoha Academy :
The Classroom was the same as usual , Naruto introduced Simba to his friends before the class starts . Iruka Sensei also noticed Simba but he didn't point him out in the middle of the class .
He did summon Naruto alone . Knowing that Simba is a Ninja beast , Iruka sensei was pretty surprised. Later He told Naruto to get permissions for these kinds of things in the future . As expected of a Shinobi Academy .
While attending the classes , Naruto communicates the Birds with his mind and orders them to patrol over the Academy . With the Avian Link and the shared vision , Naruto saw Academy in a different way .
Naruto also found more things about his Avian Link Skill .
( With me as a center , their moving range is a circle of radius 200 meters.....but once the connection brekes , they need to come near me again to establish it )
Lunchbreak arrived soon , everyone gathered around for the lunch and it was finally time to introduces Simba to everyone .
" His name is Simba "
Naruto does the introductions and everyone gathers around . Simba looks around and sees everyone bowing their head when talking with him .
Simba felt happy and replies cheerfully .
" *woof* "
" hello Simba , I am Shikamaru "
" want chips , Simba "
" .....Shino "
" yo Simba , remember me and Akamaru "
"*yip*yii*"
Their meeting gets broken by a blonde hurricane
"NARUTO...!!! Who is this cutie .... and why didn't you tell me ,...OH MY GOD look at his clothes .....so CUTE...!!"
Ino Arrives and directly scoops up Simba and hugs him . Naruto and others seeing this took a step back .
" ughh ..it's trouble "
" .....well , Ino is not giving back Simba before the Lunch ends "
" ..He doesn't like chips , what about meat then ..... Ino wait "
" ughh I still remember , when She got Akamaru in first year "
Seeing Kiba moving away , and others also taking a step back , Naruto smiled wryly and steps forward
" I just got him yesterday , at Kiba's shop "
" really , what's his name "
" Simba , I also got some Ravens and an Owl "
" ehhh , really "
" you got Owl too "
" Raven , not crows ??"
" What about bugs Naruto-kun"
" yeahh , did you already name them "
Hearing Naruto , everyone gets back again and inquired about it , Naruto described his thoughts and needs for the Ninja beasts . At this time Shikamaru spoke up
" why didn't you come yesterday ?? "
" ....aahhh , I was taking a break , a holiday sort of "
".....what about bugs ?? "
Naruto explains them his absence yesterday , The Lunch break ended soon . everyone goes back to their seat except for Simba , who accompanied Ino to the girls side .
" ... "
" Naruto-kun , bugs are awesome you know "
"... I only like Rhinoceros beetles , Shino "
" .... "
Naruto looked at Simba , who is happily letting his tongue out while getting petted by the girls .
( ....well just be happy )
Naruto throws a bunch of jerky outside the window , the jerky was caught by a 'hard-working Husband' Raven Ram , who goes back to her wife's side for their lunch .
The Classes ended soon and while packing his bag , Naruto asks the others
" you all coming ??"
" ....nah , my mom is teaching me from now on " Shikamaru
" My Dad prepared a feast training for mee , hehe " Choji
" I also decided to ask my father for training " Shino
" ugh.. My Uncle is gonna train me too "
Seeing everyone with their own plans , Naruto gets surprised but he soon understood it
( The Last 'stunt' I pulled , must have lit a fire inside them )
Naruto understood their thoughts , but knowing it doesn't mean He liked it too
( alone again ... well Simba is here ... Ram and Ren too )
Naruto looks around and sees everyone looking at him , it seems they all understood the 'parting' . Naruto smiled at them and answered
" Hehe , then let's get stronger together "
"......you are really troublesome "
" haha , Me too "
" yoshhh , just wait I am gonna win next time , right Akamaru "
" *yip*woof* "
" let's work together , Naruto kun"
Shikamaru felt troubled at naruto's answer
( Now I really can't slack off )
Choji also felt motivated
( yeahh , let's be cool together )
Kiba got fired up at his Rival's answer
( yoshhhh....Tajutsu or what , bring it on )
Shino notices Naruto expression and decided to work for a brighter future
( yes , Naruto-kun is not gonna stop .... And I also shouldn't )
Everyone parted ways , Naruto looked at everyone's back from the Academy Gate
( yes ever---) *smack*
Before Naruto could think further , he felt a smack on top of his head , Naruto looks back aggressively and finds Ino with Simba .
ANd SOmehow both of their faces are red , not because of cold but with anger , It didn't take long for his Smart Mind to understand what happened
( .... I forgot Simba , didn't I )
Naruto tried to apologise first but
" Naruto..!!! How could you ....!!!! "
" * WOOOFF* WOOoooooooooooo* "
Naruto directly bows 90 degrees
" I AM SORRY , Simba ..... SORRY for making you worry INO "
Ino and Simba huffed together , In the end it took quite a bit of pleasing , begging and promises that both of them forgave him.
" here , take care of him "
" hmm "
Naruto takes Simba in his arms , And asks Ino
" I am going to training Ground , you coming Ino "
" ....sorry Naruto , I am training with my Dad and Mom "
" Clan techniques "
" Umm , there is also some other stuff , it's boring but I need to go "
" Oh... "
Seeing Naruto going silent , Ino remembered that they haven't spent much time together since she started her training at home . They either talk during lunch or some other time . nothing more than 10 or 20 minutes .
Even during sundays or other times , Shikamaru and others are always around . resolving herself , Ino's ears turn red while speaking this time
( Shika and others will be busy too , but they should also be free at sunday so ...)
" I am gonna ask for break this saturday " Ino
" eh ??"
" let's train together "
Naruto understood soon , and it didn't take long for him to answer
" .....yeah sure "
" ....then , bye "
Ino tightens her collar around and goes away with a skipping step , Naruto looks at her back and goes to training ground with a smile .
They Both failed to notice a white eye girl , who is looking at them sneakily
"...naruto-kun "
Hinata looked at Naruto-kun , she was here since the beginning , even when he was talking with Shikamaru and others . She resolved herself to talk with Naruto-kun this time
( ...come on Hinata...even if it's just a simple greeting )
But her courage vanished with the presence of Ino . Seeing Naruto-kun talking with another girl . The little girl fell into confusion and forgot to move .
=============================
Naruto headed to his Training Ground with the company of Simba in his hands and Ravens in the sky . The loneliness disappears soon with them and also with
" yoo , Naruto ...!!!" Gian
" just where did you go yesterday, everything ok " Suneo
" ....it's cold " Nobita
" finally here , My prince...!!! " Shizuka
