Yamato kept his promise and took the girl out to eat barbecue. He inwardly laughed at how eager she was to start eating. The sizzling of the food made her drool and he thought it was rather cute. Over lunch they spoke of many things. Yamato gave the girl standard rules, like not staying up too late and helping to clean the house. She would be enrolled into Konohas' academy and Yamato expected good grades. Sigyn thought all this was pretty normal and doable. It was the least she could do for everything he's already done for her.

"And no boys!" Yamato suddenly stated and the girl nearly choked on some beef she was chewing on.

She drank some water to wash the food down and replied, "Don't worry about that, trust me. I have no intention on doing anything with boys. I have other things to focus on." She placed some beef on the grill and watched it sizzle.

"Like what?" Yamato also placed some beef to cook.

"Like learning to control my chakra." Sigyn mumbled. Yamato chuckled and nodded in agreement.

Yamato had gone off on another secret mission. He had stocked their home well for Sigyn to be left alone for up to 3 months. He was sure his mission would only take about 2 weeks, but better safe than sorry. Yamato had shown Sigyn around Konoha in great detail. She was familiar with the surrounding forest, all the best places to have lunch at, all of Konoha's shops, schools and the local playground.

He had briefly introduced Sigyn to Naruto one day while at the Hokage's office. Yamato was giving the Hokage his latest reports. One on his recent mission and an update report on how Sigyn was adapting. While in the waiting room, Sigyn noticed a small blond boy sitting anxiously on a chair across from her. He was fidgeting with his hands and the girl couldn't help but stare. The blond boy had looked up just in time to catch her staring and Sigyn became red with embarrassment of being caught. She quickly turned away from him without a word. The boy thought that was a little rude but said nothing. He went back to fidgeting with his hands. He was anxious about what punishment the Hokage would instill this time, due to a prank he pulled.

A moment later, Yamato reappeared from the Hokage's office and noticed the blond boy look up at him. Yamato smiled and turned his gaze over to Sigyn. "This is Naruto Uzumaki." Yamato spoke to the girl.

Sigyn's gaze turned to the blond boy and she awkwardly said, "Hello. Um... I'm Sigyn Berg.'" Naruto became red. A pretty girl was giving him attention. That was rare. With his signature smile, he replied 'hello' back to her and she smiled politely at him. All in all it was a rather awkward exchange.

Suddenly, as though a spark had lit up the blond boys brain, he jumped up from his seat and inquired Yamato how he knew his name. Yamato replied that everyone in the village knew of Konoha's prankster. With what Sigyn thought was odd pride, Naruto puffed out his chest and gave them both a thumbs up.

At that moment, before the boy could say anything, the Hokage stood in front of his opened office door and motioned for the blond boy to enter. Naruto seemed to have lost that pride he had gained and hung his head low. He entered the office and the Hokage smiled warmly at Sigyn.

"You keep out of trouble young lady." The Hokage kindly warned her.

She nodded and softly replied, "Yes sir." The Hokage let out a small chuckle and bid Yamato and Sigyn a farewell. The girl tried to peer inside the Hokage's office for one last, quick, look at Naruto but was unable to.
