Konohagakure no sato :
Uzumaki Apartment =
Putting things down in a corner goes to the kitchen and drinks a glass of water first and then sighs at Ino's response today
( Indeed a kid putting on brave front )
After drinking another glass Naruto gets out and heads to the butcher area distractedly
Bo's Slaughterhouse :
Heading inside to familiar way he knocks on the Boss's office he meets the familiar Old Butcher Busa
" Boss Bu "
" Yo Naruto , I see Teuchi talked to you "
" He said about some dream job of getting paid when working less "
" Haha nothing like that , you may work less hours but you need to do work the same in that time "
".....Oh so what is it "
" Butchering Of course , you just butcher Meat "
" is it that easy "
" Of course not , meat cutting, boning, trimming, and grinding , Knife work and the Animals know how inside out , It's all quality work Kiddo "
" Sounds tough "
" But you got Chakra Kid , and you wanna be Shinobi , It's a dream job for you , your main job will to cut tough bones and other things first , Of course first you will learn some basics , So what do you say "
" So how many hours should I Work "

" I am good , but i wanna start after tomorrow "
" good , once you have got hand on things we can see further then come 10 minutes before 6 am "
Getting things done Naruto heads back to his apartment while thinking
( Academy starts at 9 Am to 2 PM and sometimes some practical class later in the day , And getting used to cutting meat is good too )
Going on his way Naruto heads to the familiar park and throws some bird feed to the birds and rememberes his Avian Link Skill.
( Should I get a pet bird )
======================
Yamanaka Household =
Getting back from work Yamanaka Inoichi greets his wife only for her to signal with her towards the backgarden.
Taking the hint he goes back to see His precious daughter running around the garden , looking closely to her daughter's face , his face hardens and he heads back to ask his Wife.
" What happened "
" A Date "
" hhhhaaaaaaaa.........WITH WHO ..!! "
" 'Shhhh'... Naruto "
Understanding downed on him , remembering his daughter's latest Training during midday everyday with all the kids .
( Naruto is not the same kid to prank around or even hurt her )
With perplex face he meets asks his wife with his eyes only get a reply
" It's been like that since she came , when she gets tired she lies down and looks at sky and something beat her feet and calf ......... Find out what's going on "
seriousness down on his face when hears his voice but the later half of sentence and the wife's voice made his realizes the cold swear flowing on his back.
( It's summer , ofcourse there will be sweat )
Putting the things down , Inoichi heads to Hokage office and not the Int. Div . and finally find the section responsible for The Jinchuriki's observation .
" Latest Report "
The Jinchuriki's daily activity report gets submitted whenever a ANBU rotates , every ANBU have write a diffrent report including all the activities Naruto did and their own thoughts.
Since the change in Naruto started , there have been more ANBU around and they all rotate at diffrent time but mostly have a min. 3 hour shift to maximum 6 Hours shift .
At this time at 6.30 PM , there is already a report submitted , getting it Inoichi didn't stop and heads back home without reading.
Getting inside he eyes his wife and then they both head to living room couch and reads the report together.
Slowly their face change at the mention of Ino's name on the report and also understanding downed on them . Putting the report down his wife addresses him.
" Go "
" What ????"
" She needs her Father now , she's confused "
"sighhhhhhhhhh but it's troublesome , why don't I go catch Uzumaki Naruto "
" Stop there , he's a good kid and why don't you catch those villagers "
" ......You know it's not my fault "
" And handing your daughter to another man is , what if Ino calls him daddy "
" ....ok stop , I am going "
Seeing the dangerous tone and a her heading towards the pan he flickers to the backyard
( Ugh Head of Int. Div. but what do I say to her if she asks about Naruto's situation and also villager's reaction )
collecting his thoughts he decided in his mind to stay away from this TALK.
Heading over to Ino , he steps in the way of her run
" What are you doing Ino "
" ..... Training 'huff huff' "
Inoichi seeing her dishevelled state speaks again
" Your mother is worried , let's go back inside "
" I 'huff' still ' huff 'have to train , just a little more "
Inoichi sighs inwardly
( Ughh what do i do )
catching a hint he asks
" What are you training for "
at this Ino goes silent and replies looking other way , Only to hear her Father getting close and getting on one knee to her eye level
" How about I help , I am a Jonin you know "
" you won't understand "
" Then tell me why do you train , And I will see what to help with "
Ino looks back and see the concern on his face and replies
" I ..... I ........I wanna catch up "
" Catch up , to who "
" Noooo , just tell me how to catch up "
Looking at her daughter Inoichi sighs
( And that's why i don't want him near my daughter , If I hadn't read report beforehand , I would have thought she want to surpass him but now........sigh)
sighing to himself Inoichi tries to discourage her in his own way first
" It's gonna be tough , You don't need to , I am here "
" ...huff Noo "
" Alright , but let's go inside first "
" Ok "
Seeing her going inside he gets up and follows her back while massaging his head .
