The Two Halfs

The New Family

And so the three adults worked with Naruto and his up brining. The first years were hard for them taking on missions and a crying screaming bundle of joy. Then came the relationships that just made things more confusing.

It turned out that Nina Hyuuga and Gai fell in love not with each other, which surprised almost everyone at the village (not). They thought that Kakashi and Nina would get married but they were more like brother and sister.

It started when the four of them including the baby and Kakashi had rented out a big apartment. Nina was of course the one who would take care of the baby most of the time while Gai and Kakashi did the missions for money.

Well she got fed up with that one day and demanded a break. It was a sunny afternoon and all was quiet with the baby crying and Nina polling out her hair.

I swear when they get back I’m stopping this. She thought carrying the now semi quiet baby.

Just then the front door opened to the small apartment. It was a pretty nice neighborhood but with four people it got a little cramped sometimes. They had three bedrooms a small kitchen with about eight windows in all. The furniture could have been better but what would you expect from Kakashi?

“Nina how are you? And the youth of tomorrow.” Gai said happily like always while Kakashi just stood there shacking his head.

Nina smiled sweetly to them getting up. “I’m fine and now you get to take care of Naruto.” She said with gleaming eyes.

They literally being the good friends that Kakashi and Gai were the said yes imminently. Not wanting the wreath of the devil I mean Nina.

Nina had left and when she came back it turned out that she had met a guy from another country and soon married. The man was about medium height with brown unruly hair and brown bright eyes. His name was Kyo and he happened to be one of the best swordsmen out there.

Kakashi had reluctantly said yes they could still live here but now with five people. They had to go out for more missions which Gai of course had no complaints. One year latter and Naruto was growing like a weed so they had to buy clothes for him almost constantly. Kakashi would buy beginner books for ninjas. Nina woud buy the clothes and Gai would buy the food with Kyo sitting and doing missions. The group was so popular with the ninjas that they had the nickname “Sphinxes” with all missions they took. (They still didn’t know who came up with that stupid name).

Next came Gai with his girlfriend that he met on one of his missions. She had long back silk hair that would always be pinned in the back and would wear kimono’s with a fan strapped to her back. Her name was Ling. She was pretty shy but she would gather her own weight unlike Kyo.

Now Kakashi had six people in his apartment and lets just say that the apartment was growing rapidly. Ling would now stay home with the baby and Nina. But they didn’t care they always had stuff to do or talk and Nina would always go to the Hyuuga compound with Naruto and prance around with him. (Literally).

Next was Kakashi and his girlfriend that was a medical nin. They had been working on a mission and well they hit it off so good that they decided to get married once they had enough money and approval. They to moved into the apartment. She had fiery red long hair with violet eyes. Her name was Yuna. She was nice but thorough and she would always work at the hospital. She was a nice addiction to the growing family because now it was free to go to the hospital. Yes everything was at peace in Konoha. Kakashi would still be late to everything though but he had a good enough reason.

While this was happening the baby named Naruto was getting so much attention that he himself didn’t know what to do about it. First he saw the pretty girl with long blue hair that took care of him. Then he sees a guy with a weird thing on his head with fuzzy things growing on his face that Naruto loved to pull. And last but not least was the guy who had some kind of black thing covering half of his face with one eye. Naruto didn’t know if he was a monster or not but he liked him. Add that to other people moving in and Naruto thought it was a big party or something.

After about three months in the apartment everyone decided enough was enough. They all marched into the tower where the Hokage was with Nina in front. To say the least it looked very funny. No one dared to step in his or her way when Nina was in charge.

Behind her was Kyo with his long sword and strong imitating skills. Next was Ling with Naruto and Gai then Yuna making funny faces towards the baby. And finally but not least was Kakashi. Everyone in the group looked like hell. Their hair was everywhere with their clothes all crumpled. It looked like the baby was more then a handful.

The Third was at his desk looking out the big window. Today was sunny and bright with a light wind. It seemed the Third mused that his plan was well on its way with Naruto being loved. The villagers didn’t know about the fox in him and his “family” was growing rapidly. The Third was cut short on his musings when a loud crash was heard and the next thing he knew was a bunch of people standing before him. They were just standing their until the brave and powerful Nina stepped forward.

“Hokage sama sorry to barge in like this but the apartment is to small and we all were hoping you had something a little bigger for us.” Nina said while dragging up Ling with Naruto in hand to tie the deal. All the while smiling sweetly.

The Third just laughed and stood up, “I don’t know if we have anymore houses.” He said lightly. Taping his chin looking like he was in thought.

Kakashi also walked up looking like he didn’t have a good night’s rest in ages. “ Hokage you must have something.” He said while everyone else nodded. For a moment he looked like he was pleading.

“Well I might but it might be to big.” He said smiling then he threw a set of keys towards Kakashi who caught it and practically ran out of the room with the others.

Nina said back laughing at the sight. “Thank you. You don’t know how hectic it has been with three small families living like that.” She said getting ready to leave.

“You do know that I had bought the house sometime ago right? I just wanted to see when everyone got fed up.” The Third laughed closing the door. Nina on the other side just laughed and walked away. The Third was still the same.

The Third walked back to the table looking out the window watching the big group particle run towards their destination. He took a puff of smoke, yes that group would certainly have their hands full. He just hoped Naruto would be ready when the time came. Only time would tell if he was destined for magic along with other children.
