The next morning a sound woke Natsu up. It sounded like a flute? Natsu got out of bed and went to see what was making the sound. After going outside and walking he found the source of mesmerizing sound sitting on the dock ... it was Naruto.

Natsu leaned against the pillar next to Naruto and closed his eyes to listened to each beautiful note until the song reached its end, "That was beautiful, Naruto."

Naruto smiled and scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "Thanks, I'm making it to go with Mina's present, but I'm not that g-"

"Don't be modest! You're really good! You're making her present? That's so sweet! She'll love that!" smiled Natsu making a light blush appear on his twin's face. "Hey Naruto, why do you use seals? I mean, you don't even have pockets on your coat or pants let alone a holster, why is that?" He asked curiously when he spotted Naruto's coat and goggles draped on the pillar next to the blonde.

"They're convenient and you can't drop or lose things. You can program them to work without chakra so you can get what you need without wasting chakra, which would is great if you're low on chakra. Besides, what would you think if you saw someone with no pockets or holsters?" Naruto askeded.

"I would think they're unarmed- OH! You want people to underestimate you!" grinned Natsu making the blonde chuckle as he reached out and unsealed a small bottle of pills. "What are those?"

"This? It's a special type of food pill my Dad made for me. I have a really high metabolism so I have to consume a certain number of calories a day. Much more than most. Eating these pills help me get enough. There four times higher in calories than a normal food pill." The ROOT agent explained and popped a pill in his mouth.

"Why take one now when we are going to eat breakfast soon?"

The ROOT agent twitched, "I was going to skip ... things kind of got awkward after last night." After Naruto put Natsu to bed Tsunami accused Kushina of being a bad mother and the shit hit the fan after that. Naruto had to separate the two women who afterwards became frighteningly sweet towards him as if being overly attentive to him was supposed to help him. He basically became the rope in a 'Best Mother Tug of War ShowDown' ... it was pretty scary ...

The orangette blinked and his eyes widened, "I'm so sorry! It's because I blurted out parts of you life! This is all my fault-" Natsu froze when he felt a light pressure on his cheek ... Naruto had leaned over and kissed him on the cheek!

"Don't worry about it. It made me happy that you said those things. Thank you. I'll be back after dinner." Naruto said as he picked up his jacket and goggles and disappeared into the trees leaving a blushing orangette holding his cheek.

"What do we do now, Zabuza-sama?" asked the masked hunter nin.

Zabuza frowned, "We need to slow down construction ... Haku, how long do I need to recover?"

Haku removed his mask and looked at the herbs he found, "I was able to find some excellent healing herbs so only two weeks, maybe less."

"Good, we'll kill off a few workers until then." He looked out the window and saw a gray squirrel sitting on a branch on the tree. "Stupid chipmunk."

"I'M A FUCKING SQUIRREL, YOU BASTARD!" yelled the pissed off squirrel. Zabuza and Haku's jaws dropped as the fluffy creature continued its tirade. "IS IT SO HARD TO TELL THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CHIPMUNK AND A SQUIRREL?! Look at my tail. Is it fluffy?"
