Chapitre 10: Naruto : Uchiha : Chapter 10
"Hai, just you see I'll ace the Academy." Naruto boasted proudly making Kagami chuckle and pat his head a couple of times to calm him down. The boy in turn looked sheepish and bowed politely when Kagami turned to leave.
...
Naruto walked in going straight to the porch of his house leading to the vast gardens his estate housed. He loved them as if they were his life, his mother used to tend to them and had taught him her skills before she passed away and he took care of them as a remembrance to the times he spent here with her.
He looked down when he felt a small weight on his lap and brushed the pure white fur of the cub now rested on his lap softly.
"You're really smart Kiara, I'm glad you didn't come out in front of Ojii-san." he whispered, placing a kiss on her head to get a small purr out of the little feline and kept brushing her hair.
He saw her yawn and sighed tiredly himself, the cub was too lazy for her own good sometimes. But he loved her all the more for her antics.
KNOCK…KNOCK…
Naruto's head snapped back, hearing the door's knock and he ran upstairs quickly with the little ball of fur in his arms. He ran into his room, opening the closet containing his futon and mattresses and placed the cub on them.
"Mewww?" the cub mewled in confusion, tilting her head to the side cutely. He placed a ball by her side to play with and kept another pillow that she was glad and curled up on instantly.
"Alright now you stay here and don't come out until I tell you to 'kay?" he asked not really expecting an answer and ran downstairs straight to the main door.
He opened the door and saw Tobirama standing there with his usual stoic look marred on his face and his arms crossed in front of his chest, but he was surprised to see the red headed women with her hair in two buns, the same one from yesterday standing there with him.
She wore an elegant white kimono with a red obi and the Uzumaki spiral adorned on the back of it, plus, he saw strange tags with some strange markings there hanging by her head. He bowed to them politely like his mother had taught him to do if someone came to his home.
"Welcome to the Uchiha residence." He said politely and the two looked at each other with a smile at the young boy's manners and the way he held himself like a true heir of royal blood. The two sighed inwardly though, instantly noticing the differences between this blonde and the one they had at home.
They had tried to have Tsunade be just like him too, soft spoken and polite but the girl had been spoiled rotten by her grandfather before they could instill their ways of manners into her.
She had even picked up on Hashirama's gambling habits and his infamous bad luck and his legendary losing streak was even bad with the girl.
"It is our pleasure to make your acquaintance my cute little thing!" Mito cooed the boy, ruffling his hair playfully making the boy a little shy and his cheeks turned pink clearly not used to such affection from a lady.
Naruto led them into his house, unaware to himself the two took in the sights of the large yet elegant estate. It had been quite a few years since Tobirama stepped foot in this house, the last time being when he brought the news of Izuna's demise to the boy's mother.
He shook of that line of thought while the boy walked them into the guest room.
The two stepped in the traditional Japanese style room and sat on the two offered cushions by the table in the middle. Several calligraphy scrolls hung on the wall as decorations, while small but faintly visible Uchiha clan symbols were carved into the wood almost everywhere.
But both the elders couldn't help but feel nostalgic at the faint amounts of thick and potent chakra still lying everywhere around the house. It belonged to the man who had carved the wood himself along with Madara Uchiha to build the house from the ground up as a symbol of alliance between the two formidable clans.
"I'll go and get some refreshments please make yourselves comfortable." he said with yet another boy and left before Mito could stop him from the formalities. She put her cheek in her palm with a pout, though smiled seeing the faintest of smirks donning on the current Senju clan head's face.
"The boy certainly is full of surprises, he holds himself like a true heir of royal blood should and his house has been well taken care of." Tobirama's stoic voice said with a hint of pride in his voice. He was always one to take note of such fine things and admire them, and the boy was scoring high marks on his list of manners and lifestyle.
Mito herself had expected everything to be a complete mess, with a small child like him having the whole house to himself she hadn't expected….well this.
But only one thing was still ringing in her mind right now.
"And he's such a sweet little munchkin too…" she cooed happily, making Tobirama sigh and pinch the bridge of his nose in exhasparation. While she was more into these things when it came to little kids. All these Uzumaki's were too impulsive for their own good sometimes.
Both their musings were cut short when the door in front of them slid open while their little host walked in with a tray full of simple and plain cookies with two cups of tea. He served them with a little sad smile.
"I'm sorry, I only have these…" he mumbled apologetically, a bit ashamed at having to serve his guests such bland looking snacks. The two glanced at each other and dismissed his little nervousness away by picking up their cups and taking a sip of their beverages.
Tobirama placed the cup down, once more taking note that the boy was sitting on his knees in a formal way rather than simply sitting comfortably like he could have. Mito too took note of it but didn't give it much thought as much as Tobirama did. He pulled out a scroll from his hip pouch, handing it over to the boy who took them with a grateful smile.
"That contains all the learning material you will need for the Academy." he stated stoically, dismissing the boy's question with his answer even before it could be brought out of his lips. Naruto nodded hesitantly, not quite understanding how a little scroll like this could be all the learning material he would need for the Academy.
Did they really teach so little at the Academy?
Was all his innocent and naive six-year-old mind could perceive at the moment. He unfurled the scroll slightly only to frown even more in confusion and looked at it inquisitively.
He couldn't understand even in the slightest what this was, maybe they would teach him another language in the Academy.
Mito let out a soft sigh seeing the boy looking at the scroll a little calculatively yet with a firm confusion now marring his face. She couldn't believe that Tobirama could imply that the boy really knew what a storage scroll was when he hadn't even had a single day at the Academy yet.
She looked at him with narrowed accusing eyes while he stared back at her impassively, not quite understanding what her problem was. She turned her eyes back to the blonde who had finally given up on trying to understand the scroll and was rolling it back up.
"Naruto…" she called out making the boy perk up and look at her questionably. She smiled seeing his wide baby blue eyes, they were such an exotic color and he looked so adorable with his narrow Uchiha features enhancing them so much.
"…come on over here." she patted the space by her side. The boy though a little confused, nodded and went to sit by her side when she took the scroll in his hands and unfurled it yet again. She scooted closer to him, startling him a bit and put the scroll straight in front of him.
"Naruto this is a storage scroll…" she explained getting a nod from the boy who was now paying rapt attention to her. He loved learning something new and this must be some shinobi affair.
Though he looked on in amazement when she placed two fingers over the strange symbols and there was a small poof of smoke. His eyes widened when he saw the small pile of books and scrolls now resting atop the storage scroll.
