I walked down the stairs on my way to the exit. I got a few shocked glances from the shinobi. I just ignored them as I went through the exit on my way to ichraku. I walked past the villagers and shopkeepers .one took one glance at me and the pot in her hand fell .children pointed and stared, the mothers picking them up and running away .'finally ' i thought as I stood in front of Ichiraku. I walked in noticing a head full of blond hair. I walked over to 5-year-old naruto and sat next to him on the ground. I nudged his dangling legs with my nose .he looked over at me with a frightened look. I licked his leg .he seemed to relax a little ."hello" I said in a tone someone spoke to a crying child."hi-i" he stuttered. I used one of my tails to climb on the barstool. The chef's daughter looked frightened by me but the chef smiled at me. Probably happy about someone finally being nice to naruto." I'm kunime " I said smiling at him." I'm Naruto," he says stuttering again ."hi, naruto, it's nice to meet you," I say giving one of Kakashi's closed eyes a smile. "You too!" He said happily. I nodded "so, I heard the academy is starting tomorrow, you going ?" .i say remembering it from the manga .he looked down to his lap and shook his head signaling 'no' ." no? why not "I say disappointed already knowing the answer ." the people are mean to me " he said eye's watering .used my tail to touch his making him look at me ." I'll go with you tomorrow, will you go then? " I say with a smile ."y-you'd do that ?" He said fidgeting with his fingers ." of course " I say messing his hair with my other tail .'i don't think the Hokage would mind ' i thought to myself. I saw he was done with his ramen so asked "can I show you something? " I say looking back at him. he nodded slowly. I jumped off the chair "climb on "I command .he jumped off the barstool and slowly climbed on. I hold him tightly with two tails as a seatbelt .and I began walking after thanked the ichraku owners. I walked down to the training grounds, I walked to a forest towards a small stream. I saw the third Hokage come here once. I began walking on the water, walking into the waterfall .there was a secret place behind it. I sat in front of the waterfall letting him see the waterfall, it looked like crystals with the sun shining through ."beautiful isn't it "I say chuckling .he nodded slowly still looking at the waterfall ." I want you to know that you can trust me ". I say seriously. He turned to me eye's watering at what I said ."thank you " he says for once not stuttering. "Come on, "I say picking him up and putting him back on. I ran through the waterfall .running towards the trees, naruto laughed loudly as I jumped up a tree .we jumped from tree to tree until we were on buildings .people looked shocked and scared as we jumped by. I jumped down on naruto's balcony. I didn't put him down until we were in the apartment. I looked at the place with wide eyes, it was a mess. I wasn't actually surprised though. I went over to the kitchen naruto following ." I'll call you when dinners ready".I say trying to sound nice. I never cleaned my room or house. well, I have a responsibility now .he looked hesitant but nodded . he left to the bathroom to bathe, I exhaled. It's going to be a long night. And so I began cleaning, there was no food in the fridge. I need to groceries shopping .another thing on my list.
