Chapter 73: Home, sweet home.
And now, finally, the day of moving has come.
The children were saying goodbye to friends and babysitters.
I had no friends among the children, for obvious reasons, so I went to say goodbye to the teachers… It was a mistake.
I underestimated myself and these women again.
All the nurses were crying, squeezing me, hugging me tightly and tenderly.
They pressed me to their breasts, not even letting me breathe…
But then one of them dropped a bomb.
One of them suddenly exclaimed: “Oh my God! He’s going to be a shinobi! What if he dies!?”
I swear to you, I have never seen such a rapid transformation.
The tender, tear-stained faces of the girls suddenly turned into the faces of wild tigresses who looked at my carcass with adoration bordering on obsession.
At that moment, I was even a little scared.
They started saying that they would not give me to anyone, that even if the Hokage himself came here personally, they would fight him to the end.
And as if the situation was not “stuffy” enough and one of the teachers again gave out a brilliant idea: “Wait! Why don’t we just adopt him!?”.
The situation has changed dramatically again. Now they were deciding who exactly would become my mom.
Everyone wanted to be a mom. Disputes and more disputes went one after another, until, su # and one of them again gave out a “brilliant” idea: “Why don’t we all become his mom! Together we will give Tetsuya our common affection and love!”
Everyone really liked the idea, because only together they will be able to protect me from everything … including other women…
I didn’t really like this outcome. I still came into this world to become a shinobi, not a toy.
I had to persuade them to let me go.
I immediately went with trumps, they are children’s tears.
They had never seen them on my face, so it was a real critical hit on them.
With tears, I said that my dream was to become the strongest ninja to protect Konoha and especially my beloved teachers.
After some time of persuasion, I still managed to escape from their tenacious but gentle hands.
It may seem that they let me go easily, but believe me, I had to use all my eloquence and charm for this.
Then they wanted to help me with furniture, shoved money. At that moment I felt like some kind of gigolo-prostitute…
Naturally, I refused, saying that all this would be useful to the children in the shelter.
Tears again, again what a wonderful boy Tetsuya has grown up to be…
It was hard, but in the end, I still managed to escape from this shelter, even though I was squeezed out like a lemon in the end. Tired not physically, but mentally.
– Well, it remains only to show you the new housing, Tetsuya. The attendant said with a smile.
First, he took us, those who enter the academy, and took everyone home.
I was lucky and I was the last one, which, it seems to me, is not for nothing.
After a while we stopped in front of a small, two-story house.
– Well, this is your new home! Not bad, right? – he said with a smile, looking at my face, apparently waiting for a reaction.
– I really like it. – I played along with him, smiling like a truly happy child.
Looks like this guy came from Hiruzen.
And the other guys just got small, slightly old apartments, when I had a whole two-story house with a balcony and a small backyard.
Everything is as I planned. He wants to tie me to the village, so even my allowance will be more than the rest.
It’s funny that he thinks he can endear me to the village, when in fact I’m just manipulating him a little.
Although I really like Konoha, it’s much better than other villages.
But whether I will always be with her, only time will tell.
Let’s get back to the conversation.
– Of course baby! Our Hokage is the best! He takes care of all the inhabitants of our village! – he spoke enthusiastically, gesturing with his hands.
Is he serious? Such a speech can only work on fools like Naruto…
– Really? I asked with childish naivety.
– Of course! Here, keep the keys to the house, and so here is your allowance for this month. – he said with a wide grin, handing me a keychain with keys and a paper envelope with a manual.
The envelope is the same as the other guys, but the “fillings” are at least three times larger, judging by the size.
– Thank you! I’m going to take a look at everything! I exclaimed when I took everything.
– Run baby! – he shouted, looking kindly after me.
It was only thanks to the active “Imperial Zone” that I noticed that when my carcass disappeared behind the threshold of the house, his gaze became calm and calculating.
Apparently Hiruzen sent him to evaluate me. I hope he will be satisfied with what I have done.
Well, let’s look around the house.
Ground floor: Living room, kitchen, toilet and a large bathroom with an equally large stone bathtub.
Second floor: Two bedrooms, as I understood the master and guest. A small library and a training room. Moreover, the training equipment was already available, and the library in general was half full.
However, the books were only educational and propagandizing the will of fire, along with love for the village.
That’s all. The only thing that can be added is that it feels like this house has just been built today, well, or just renovated.
I wonder if they’ll be watching me? I don’t know, but it’s better not to create any game.
Lunch will be ready in an hour, so I’m going to cook myself something.
When I come to the kitchen and open the refrigerator, I realize that I have a whole stock of food for at least a week.
I’ll cook something simple, eat and go for a walk around the village.
Sounds like a great plan.
Having taken the necessary products, I started the “creation”.
We wash the rice, and then stew it with carrots, sweet pepper and spices.
While the rice is languishing, let’s do the meat.
We beat off two large chicken breasts, slightly salting in the process. A little spice.
Then we break a few eggs into a cup, add spices, seasonings and flour.
Whisk and the batter is ready.
Next, we dip the breasts in the resulting batter, and put them in a pre-prepared frying pan.
At the exact time we turn it over so that the meat remains juicy and at the same time has a crispy crust.
The smell in the kitchen is simply divine, even an experienced ninja will not be able to just sit watching me cook and then eat.
The result is a delicious, juicy chicken breast in batter and perfect rice with vegetables.
I also cut some cucumbers and tomatoes into a simple salad.
Now you can have lunch.
After a while, after eating and cleaning up after yourself, you could go out.
With a light, calm step, I began to inspect Konoha and of course I started from the center of the village.
Academy, Hokage Building, Hospital, Library, Clans…
I walked all over Konoha up and down until evening came.
Already at home, in bed, before going to bed, he whispered softly.
– Tomorrow will be a very interesting day… –
