Silent genius

Chapter 23

Konoha dispersed into different parts of Suna. A few went to train whilst the rest went around town. Naruto trained his team before letting them home, much to their displeasure. Naruto walked home with Hakura and both enjoyed the silence as they took in the beautiful sunset.
"Mum! Dad! I'm home!" Hakura announced when she finally get her door to open. "Welcome home honey!" Her mum greeted from the kitchen and the aroma of food drifted through the house. "I brought sensei with me! Something happened today." Hakura said as she entered the kitchen.
"Oh dear what happened?" Her mum asked and Naruto bowed slightly at the older Zanshi. "Zanshi-San." Naruto greeted politely before getting tsked by someone by the door of the kitchen. "Don't need to be so polite. The name's Hosuki Zanshi." Hakura's dad greeted and held out a hand. "Naruto. Uzumaki-Namikaze."
"Oh la la la. You're from two clans with powerful beings. I'm impressed. I'm Hana Zanshi... Wait, didn't we meet before?"
"Yeah, I'm that kid with from Konoha." Naruto said and received an 'oh' face from both Hana and Hosuki.
They sat at the dining table and Naruto looked at them for a few seconds before starting. "Today, Hakura almost got kidnapped by Iwa ninjas. I'm assuming they were after the Zanshi bloodline."
"But how did they find out Hakura is a Zanshi?" Hana asked, shocked.
"I don't know. But I'm sure Hakura is excepting answers about why they are after her." Naruto said. The two Zanshi elders looked at each other before one got up to get something while the other turned back to the two young kids and sighed. "So how old are you Naruto-kun?"
"12, Hana-San." Naruto replied politely as he looked past Hana's shoulder to see Hosuki return with a few scrolls, he sat down and set the scrolls down on the table. Hosuki opened a scroll and started explaining to both teens about why Iwa nins were after the Zanshi bloodline. It turns out their ancestors had infuriated Iwa with their bloodline when they single-handedly defeated half the population of Iwa without even moving a single muscle. Iwagakure, as you can tell, was extremely angry yet intrigued by the rare bloodline. They had since been trying to capture any Zanshi they can get their hands on, young or old. None has been successful so far.
When Naruto was about to leave, Hana and Hosuki stopped him and handed him a few scrolls, the trio exchanged a few eye glances before nodding their goodbyes. "Bye sensei!" Hakura yelled from across the room where the kitchen is.

When Naruto got back to the kage mansion, he read over the scrolls and quickly learnt the jutsus in it before sealing the scrolls into another scroll that has all the other jutsus from Hakura's clan that she has yet to learn but will learn sooner or later. One of the scrolls in particular was a will of both the Zanshi elders. Hakura is the heiress of the Zanshi clan and will have to become clan head one day, meaning, attendance at council meetings, etc., it also stated that everything belongs to her and they have left a hefty amount of money in the bank for when she gets older.
Naruto quickly hopped up and walked into the en suite to take a quick shower before he has to go out again. He didn't bother putting any shampoo on his hair, he'll do that later when he gets back. Naruto dried his hair and pulled on his shinobi gears. One thing you should know about Naruto is, he never sleeps in pyjamas, he always goes everywhere in his shinobi gears. However, if you think about it, he doesn't actually need those weapons that he strap to his back as one, he can summon weapons easily and two, he has a bottomless pit of jutsus up his arsenal. When you ever ask him about it, he would actually give you an honest reply. "So I don't use any chakra?" That was actually his legitimate reply when Temari had bumped into him once at home, still fully geared.
Naruto stepped out from his room and almost did a double take because he wasn't actually paying attention to the world around him, he was too busy reading a book. One time, when he just recently arrived at Suna, he almost fell off the stairs when reading a book - it was his quick reflexes that saved him from rolling down the huge flight of stairs. You see, Naruto has a big obsession with reading but he only reads in his spare time. Why... Is the living room empty? Naruto thought to himself as he kept the book and glide down the stairs quietly and gracefully. Usually Kankuro would be on the couch, flipping through the tv channels while Temari would be in the kitchen, making a snack for herself and waiting for Naruto to come back to cook. Gaara would be at the dining table doing... God knows what, with papers everywhere on the table. Then he realised that their were chakra signatures coming from the kitchen and game room that Kankuro owns.
Naruto stepped towards the kitchen, only to pause, still confused by the sight. A few Konoha shinobi were in there, the girls specifically. He faintly heard Kiba's exclamation of 'I won!!'
"I'm going out Temari." Naruto said, scaring them all. They hadn't sense him standing there. "What time would you be home?" The some boys poured out from the game room. Gaara looks like he doesn't want to be there. "I'm going to look at our new anbus, I wanna see how good they are. After that I'm going to pick Yumi up, I promised to bring her over to have dinner with us. Wanna come Gaara?" Naruto said, much to the relief of the young kazekage. Gratefulness flashed through Gaara's eyes as he nodded and followed Naruto out.
"Who's Yumi? Is it his girlfriend?" Sakura asked.
"Nope." Kankuro replied as he headed back into the game room.

Naruto and Gaara headed towards the anbu headquarters and they quickly found the new anbus at the training ground. Gaara's sand swirled towards them subtly. Naruto threw his hiraishin kunai toward them, induced with wind chakra to increase the speed of the kunai. The anbus didn't have time respond as Naruto appeared with his katana drawn and Gaara's sand wrapped around their ankles, holding them down. "Shit." One of them cursed as he barely dodged the sloppy swipe Naruto took at them. Naruto decided to go easy on them first. Naruto slowly increased his attacks and they were holding up pretty after Gaara released the sand grasping their ankles. "Not bad." Naruto said once he stopped and sheathed his weapon.
"Thank you Naruto-sama." Naruto blinked at their formality. After a little chat with the Anbus, he and Gaara left to pick Yumi up.
