Chapter 23

When the clones finished cleaning, we started putting the newly bought items. The futon, Wooden Bed, and Bedsheet have been adjusted to fit 1 adult. 1 of the pillow and its cover became long while the remaining 1 stayed at the normal pillow size.

The bed has been placed beside the window. The table has been changed into a normal study table and was placed beside the bed. I made the Mat big, almost covering the whole floor. I put the Galaxy stickers all around the place, including the bathroom. I put the light bulb in the ceiling of the bathroom and bedroom with the switch beside the doors. As for the final touch, I sprayed the air freshener everywhere with a sweet and fruity smell.

After finishing, the clones were dispelled then I carried the tools outside. I was holding one of the tools before creating 4 clones, and because of that, the tool has been cloned too. But only common items can be cloned.

I created 4 Clones with each tool and then separated them into 4 groups. Each group has clones with different tools. They went to the room they were in charge of and started cleaning.

I put the magic trashcan in front of the room beside me, but not the one reserved for Sasuke. They can put the trash there, including the broken bed.

I kept the original tools in my Inventory and then created another clone. I gave it the unused air freshener and then made him wait until the kids arrives.

He'll teach the kids how to use the air freshener and give them the keys to their rooms. I told him to give the key to the remaining room at Kimimaro since I noticed that he was the most mature.

I then created an air cooler seal, It can adjust the temperature of a room, but it only has a small range...just right for my room.

[Congratulations for successfully creating a D rank seal, You obtained 4 coins (+2 per rank up till the twelfth) and there's a bonus of 6 coins (+3 per rank up for the first of every rank). You've obtained a total of 10 coins.]

--------------------------------------------------

Air cooler (Rank D) (can adjust the temperature in a room)

--------------------------------------------------

I put it under the table so it won't be noticed. The effect still covers the whole room anyway. I activated it to cool the room.

After checking that everything was alright, I went to sleep in my newly furnished bed. The clones will dispel by themselves once they're done so I can rest easy. Later on, I need to babysit a lot of kids. Especially the noisy Naruto.

Kimimaro's POV

We're waiting for Ashe at the gate of Konoha cause he suddenly went somewhere. A minute later, men in masks suddenly appeared.

I went on guard while putting the other two behind me. I'm aware that the others can't use what Ashe calls the Kekkei Genkai freely like me.

"Who are you?" I asked, One of them pointed to the direction Ashe went. I saw Ashe talking with another man in a mask.

"Please follow us," he said, so we did.

The one who talked to Ashe said something to the one who guided us, they suddenly kneeled with their back facing us.

"Get on, we'll carry you so we can run faster," he said so we went to the respective back of the men in front of us, Now I took a closer look, the one carrying Haku was a woman with short hair.

Ash looked at us then suddenly said to the one who looked like their leader "You! Carry me in your back" The man complied.

While the men in masks are running, I noticed that Ashe fell asleep. So he still need to sleep? I never saw him sleep during the journey.

We arrived in a room full of papers. So that's the Hokage? Ashe already briefed us on some common sense so we know the leader of this village.

He stared at us and when I started feeling uncomfortable, he stopped.

He looked at Ashe and was about to wake him up so I gathered my courage to stop him.

"Ho-Hokage sama, can you please not wake up Ashe? I never saw him sleep during our journey so he must be pretty tired." The Hokage smiled and stopped.

"Then I'll just ask you. What's your name?" He asked amiably.

"I'm Kimimaro"

"My name is Jugo"

"I'm Haku"

"Did Ashe already tell you how you're supposed to live here?" I suddenly got nervous. Ashe just said that he'll handle it, he never told us anything.

I'm having the urge to wake him up now. The Hokage probably noticed our expression so he laughed.

"Don't be nervous, so he didn't tell you huh? By Ashe's request, you'll live in an apartment. I'll give you a monthly allowance of 10,000 Ryo per month each till you graduate from the academy or become an adult. Normally, you need to live in the orphanage until you're considered an adult which is a genin or grows up to 15 years old. Ashe is already a genin so he can officially adopt you. In the documents, Ashe is your guardian but he's still young so I still need to support you." The Hokage explained.

He then asked us some questions and took a picture for our Residential Certificate.

After that, the man in the mask called Anbu started waking up Ashe.

"Hmm? We're here?" Ashe asked.

"You've arrived long ago, The kids already introduced themselves and I already asked them what I wanted to know. I already gave them their allowance for this month so they can shop for their daily necessities. You can go home and sleep now as the kids said you didn't sleep throughout the journey." The Hokage said.

"Ohh really? good. I want a room in the same apartment too...you know what? Make the whole apartment reserved for us since no one wanted to live there, There are about 10 rooms there. I might find some interesting individuals to take in, and put a D Rank mission to accompany and guide the kids to shop for their things while I clean our rooms. Reduce their pay from my money"

Ash said, he sounded disrespectful but the Hokage doesn't seem to mind. Does he have a high standing here? Or the Hokage is just used to it already?

"No need to pay, I'll give you the money in full" What money are they talking about?

"Hmmm, thanks," Ashe said, the Hokage gave him a stack of money...

"The Uzumaki Kid will arrive shortly, but I'm urgently in need of money. Can I get the remaining in advance?" He said that his power guided him to us, did he lie? Is he just on a mission?

The Hokage gave him another stack of money.

"Thank you very much Hiruzen! You kids wait here for your guides, I'll go clean our rooms" ohhhh, he just called the Hokage by his name but the Hokage didn't react. It's normal?!

We were left here while the Anbus went to submit a D-rank mission to guide us.
