Konohagakure no Sato
The Hokage Office :
In the meeting with his trusted aids While recounting his outing and status of the Jinchuriki and the seal , Both The Jonin commander and The T&I Division Head notice the Distracted state of Third Hokage and decided not to inquire simply because they not only Trust the wise Hokage but also it was just Troublesome.
" after that we parted ways and naruto heads back to his 'Home' , What do you guys think "
hearing Hokage inquiring about their thoughts , Shikaku glances at his friend to start first as this is his expertise , Inoichi groans but decided to approach the matter Proffessionaly
" Before the Jinchuri--"
At this point the Hokage intervenes
" Naruto , Uzumaki Naruto "
hearing this change both Shikaku and Inoichi were surprised but also smiles a little relieved, Before every time they have this kind of meetings about Naruto .
Maybe because of guilt or sense of duty towards the village they always addresess it as Status of Jinchuriki and has to be cautious about their own stand too , the same for The Hokage .
Hearing the change in addressing Naruto , Inoichi tense shoulders relaxed and he shares his thoughts
" Before Naruto's apartment was just a sleeping place and an undesired place to return for Naruto , because of not just the loneliness but also as a kid with too much energy "
Shikaku also speaks
" And that's why he wonders around village , trying to draw attention with pranks and other things "
Inoichi continues
" Now it seems he is comfortabe and accepted his 'Home' and also Konoha , considering his recent outings "
at this point Shikaku raised concern
" What IF , he has just accepted the status quo and given up trying to connect "
At this both Hokage and Nara looks towards Inoichi
" If it was the same then he would have stopped going out or maybe even loathe the village and himself , in my view the main point is , his change of perspective towards people and accepting himself "
Hokage inquires further
" Explain "
Inoichi continues
" Hmmm , He hasn't really stopped approaching people over days , He has stopped becoming attention-starved child , In his morning run , he responds to all greetings coming his way , He has also accepted people's reaction towards himself and his name . His always never give up attitude and Optimism has found New direction "
" hmmmm"
" hmmm "
hearing this both Hokage And Nara Shikaku hums and started reviewing his life and routine during past Two weeks. The Hokage says
" Is it finding better life and instead of looking for acknowledgement and getting accepted "
Inoichi intervenes
" It's not about getting accepted and wasting efforts on those people but seeing who already acknowledges him "
Hokage mutters
" Isn't it worrying , I thought his ninja way was to never give up "
Nara chimes here
" It's not about giving up , If it was the same then he would have stopped training to Be Hokage "
" Yes , Naruto still thinks he will be acknowledged by everyone by becoming Hokage but he also understand it's a long process and in his way to become Hokage instead of wasting time on these people it's better to train and become Hokage faster and while enjoying his life with those who accepts him as he is "
Hearing Inoichi's Explanation , The Hokage starts smoking and sucking his Tobacco pipe , It's then The Jonin Commander intervenes
" No one can get accepted by everyone Hokage-sama , even if it's you , having designed this kind of dream is just a punishment for child , even in academy there are always some who may not speak but always have opinions inside "
Inoichi also starts to back his friend
" He is looking for bonds in his life even then and now , it's still same only the process is diffrent , He is also looking village in optimism especially those who didn't get affected and still greet him the same instead of the Shunning Crowd "
The Hokage says
" Minato , not only did he use Ghoul seal but also used a new Untested 8 trigram sealing , but Of all things he let out a gap in seal so which Naruto can become perfect jinchuriki , he may have had vision at that time for Naruto to be Hero but That same Chakra full of malice also affects nearby people unconsciously it's not all villagers fault "
hearing this The Nara and Yamanaka stopped their objection from leaving their mouth. The Nara spoke
" according to Other Village's Jinchuriki , their usual method to become Jinchuriki is to isolate him to outskirts and let Tailed beast and Jinchuriki 'bond' over time "
Inoichi says here
" But all those Jinchuriki knew about their destiny and have already accepted it , especially Tailed beast are only sealed after 12 years of age , just like Kushina or Bee from Kumogakure "
" It's first time a Tailed beast is sealed on someone's birth with such complicated seal too , we also can't help but be cautious , especially for The village "
Replies Nara and Office the office becomes silent .
=============================================
Konoha Academy Library :
It's been 7 days since His hospital check-up and this morning Our Blonde finally arrives at Academy Library on Tuesday . getting some basic 3rd year stuff he wonders around the Library to look over some other materials while thinking
( just yesterday the academy student leveled up to 3rd year after 9 sign-in , basic maths means 16+25+36= 77 days , the skill will reach 6th year academy student )
But there is only 24 days left before academy starts
( hmm let's focus some diffrent sign-in locations , let's start with diffrent shops next week )
having decided the next course of action , Naruto shifts back and looks around Konoha Library.
The Library includes all books and courses and additional Books , It's only limted to 6th year of academy students , Anything further seems to Be Placed at Konoha Archives .
That includes different Ninjutsu to some Secret Techniques collecting over the years by the village and of course it's not free .
Only Academy Library is free
( hmm Medical ninjutsu related stuff )
Looking breifly at the bookshelf with not much books in it he comes to conclusion
( It Only has 70 % of stuff that i got from sign-in with no jutsu's )
Thinking it over he heads to Librarian to inquire the stern-looking baba
" ano "
" hmm "
The elderly woman glances towards the blonde
" Why is there no classes of Medical Ninjutsu in academy "
" That's advanced stuff kid , which class are you "
" In 4th year i guess , soo"
" Hm it's Too early for you but listen i will explain briefly , During 6th year or after graduating if someone wants to speacialize in any field , then they need to apply and pass that Divisions test , and all the materials here are the things you will need to study , Like Intelligence Department , Medical or even Sealing corps etc. "
The women speaks concisely and calmely to the kid who stumbled in empty library during holidays
" so that's how it is , but how to find which one to go "
sigh " that's what academy and life will teach you overtime and even if you pass you will first be only intern , later if they seem you are worth training you will become legit , For you little kid first focus on this year stuff hmmm , Anything else "
" No , Thank you Grandma "
" I am not that old little twerp , shooo"
Naruto runs away when he saw an Oni materializing in background
