- Jiraiya! - A voice rang out in the house of the Uzumaki couple. - What have you done again? A woman in her thirties flew into her son's room. The door miraculously stayed in place. Her green-blue eyes looked at her son sternly and seriously: - Why is Kabuto-san complaining about your behavior again? - No, well what are they? - The seven year old boy with wheat hair, his mother's eyes and three 'fox whiskers' on his cheeks looked at his mother with a resentful look. - Well, so what if I peeked at the girls a couple times..... - You mean a couple dozen times? - The woman raised an eyebrow. Her voice sounded very angry. - Who told you it was a good idea to look for girlfriends like that? - I read it in a book," the boy suddenly cheered up. - "Icha Icha: Childhood Joys by Uzumaki Nagato-san. Father and Uncle Suigetsu left it on the table yesterday, and I decided to read it. The boy smiled cheerfully at his mother, reminding her of Rokudaimyo Hokage, and his father, Naruto Uzumaki. Coincidentally, the beloved husband and main pain in the ass of the now standing in the doorway, Uzumaki Temari. - Let me read it, please," Temari smiled softly at her son. - I really want to know what our father and Uncle Suigetsu were reading. - Here," Jiraiya handed her the book. - I heard from Dad that Nagato-san is a brilliant writer," the blond said, embarrassed. - I'd love to get his autograph... - I think we'll be able to get a couple of autographs from him soon," a woman with red hair and the same color eyes and oval-rimmed glasses entered the room. - Well, if that's what you want, nephew. - Karin-san! - rejoiced the boy. Of all his many aunts and uncles, Karin was the gentlest and kindest. - You've finally arrived," the boy rushed to his aunt and was enveloped in a tight embrace. - It's good to see you too, Ji-kun," Karin smiled warmly. - And have you thought of where we're going today? - Let's go to Uncle Jugo's! - The blond asked. - It's been so long since I've seen him! He promised to sing me some new songs of his own! - You go," Temari nodded her head, slamming the book shut abruptly. Both of her eyes twitched and veins ran down her forehead. - Enjoy your vacation, son. Don't be startled by the noise in the residence, okay? A light wind picked up, and the woman was no longer in her son's room. - What do you think, Aunt Karin," Jiraiya turned to the red-haired woman. - How many minutes until Daddy's residence collapses? *** Work was in full swing at the Residence. While Naruto and his army of shadow clones were sorting through thousands of papers, his inimitable advisors, Shikamaru Nara, Shizune Kato, Suigetsu Hozuki and Neji Hyuga, were bringing in even more. Sometimes each of them wondered: how did they even get so much paper? - Are you still working, Hokage-sama? Perhaps only his wife could enter Rokudaimyo's office without knocking. Looking around, the woman saw that her eldest son was also here. - Are you back from your mission, Yashamaru? - Hello, mother," the boy of twelve bowed slightly. - It's not proper to enter the Hokage-sama's office without knocking. - I'm his wife," Temari snorted, looking at her husband with a smile. - So, drop the formalities when your mother meets you on a mission," she continued, giving her son a slap on the back. - How did it go? Developing your Magnet Element? - Shukaku-san is a cruel but great teacher. And catching a B-class nukenin is a simple task for a ninja of my level," Yashamaru smiled at his mother. Temari was sometimes shocked at how much the boy resembled his father in appearance. Just the same. It's just a pity the character was inherited from Rasa's grandfather. - Just because you're already a jounin doesn't mean you have to fight only on high-ranking missions and prove your superiority. Didn't father and I tell you what that leads to? - I beg your pardon, mother," the copy of Rokudaimyo bowed, then turned to his father. - Can we have a training session today? I want to sharpen some skills. My Wind element isn't good enough yet. - I think it'll be at the 7th training ground at 18:00, Yasha," the village head smiled. The man slowly got up from his chair, then walked over to his wife and son, hugged them and pressed them against him. - I think we should have a dinner tomorrow, get out somewhere as a family. - Your counselors will be cursing at you for a very long time, Father," One-Tailed's apprentice shook his head. - I have to go, the mission details are in the envelope, the clone will take the money," Yashamaru said, slipping out of his parents' embrace. - Now I want to see my little brother. See you tonight, father, mother. Yashamaru bowed slightly to his parents and flew out the window, scattering golden sand in the direction of Jiraiya and Aunt Karin's chakra. - Children grow up so fast," Temari exhaled, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes and clinging tighter to her husband. Naruto loved his steely and strong-willed Sand Princess even more madly than usual in these moments of weakness. Wrapping one arm around her waist, he ran the other through his wife's soft hair. - You're right, dear. Soon Jiraiya will have girls running after him in droves," the Hokage laughed softly, but Temari tensed in his arms. - Darling, are you all right? Speaking of girls, my sunshine," Temari kissed Naruto lightly on the lips, then asked in a slow and affectionate voice. - How come you and Suigetsu brought a book of child pornography that our son later read? The Hokage was unable to finish, for the next second the upper half of the residence was blown to smithereens. *** - You lost it, big brother," Jiraiya smiled at the young Jounin, watching the spectacle with Yashamaru and Karin from the Sixth's head. - I told you the residence would suffer. - Well, there's a silver lining to my loss," Yashamaru said humbly, handing his brother 100 ryo. Seeing the questioning looks, he continued. - It means that the Most Unpredictable Shinobi and the Sand Princess are still the same. Gaara and Kankuro who approached them only smirked at each other.
