6 Getting my Apartment(Rewrite)

"So, you both will be living in this building, with your apartments beside each other. It is also very close to the centre of the village, so you can get pretty much everything in the locality.

This apartment is yours Naruto, and this will be yours, Shiori-chan."

"Yay! I am getting my own home!"

Naruto cheered in excitement.

"It's okay."

But it was barely okayish for me. When I have money, I will move to a bigger house.

The apartment was nothing fancy. just a room which had a bed, a table, fridge, a kitchenette, and a washroom-bathroom.

"I will be sending some genins to give you the supplies for a week and some basic books like how to cook and all. And Shiori-chan, the books and supplies you requested will be delivered as well, including the printer. Both of you, here is your pocket money for this month. Spend wisely."

"I will, Dattebayo!"

"Now Shiori-chan, regarding your shop-"

"What is the most popular food shop here? And with good personality and not idiots like all the villagers who would even believe nonsense coming out of a 3 year old child?"

Hiruzen stared at me weirdly, before sighing.

"There is a shop called Ichiraku Ramen. I will buy you a small shop near it."

But it isn't exactly that famous, is it? So Hiruzen wants Naruto to visit Ichiraku Ramen huh.

Well, I also want to taste how special it is.

"Right in front of it will be preferable."

"Yes. Right in front of it. Do you need anything else?"

"Lemme think about it... Wait a minute! I haven't even asked about my parents! Were they rich or something?"

"Well, from what I know, they had some debt-"

"Well, it's not like I care about them. I am suddenly not curious anymore."

"Hey hey old man! Do you know who my parents were!? Were they strong ninja or somethin'?"

Hiruzen just sighed as Naruto asked that question.

One thing that I never understood is why didn't anyone tell him about his parents in the OG? Hiruzen can be called a douchebag, but it doesn't excuse Kakashi and Tsunade. And mainly Jiraiya.

Well, that plothole is for me to exploit. Let's first see what Hiruzen will answer.

"They were normal people Naruto, who had come to the village some time ago and you were delivered here in Konoha. But I know that they loved you."

"Huh? I thought that he is some secret child of Fourth Hokage."

And I dropped a bomb.

"Huh!? I am Fourth Hokage's son!?"

Hiruzen stared at me, intensely. But with his grandfatherly image maintaining, he asked me.

"Oh? Why do you think so?"

"He just looked similar to him from the pictures in the picture book. I asked matron if he had a wife, but she said no. Then it maybe that Naruto is his secret child. Naruto, Minato. Even the names match! If that wasn't the case, who will name their kid fishcake?"

"Hahaha! Kids these days are very good at coming with conspiracy theories. You can find people with blonde hair and blue eyes everywhere. And Shiori-chan, there are weirder people naming their kids naming weirder things. I personally know someone who is named Scarecrow."

Hiruzen laughed it off. Thanks for making my work easier. Manipulating Naruto to be mine will go smoothly.

Though, I still have to keep the conversation going.

"Pffft! I will never allow my kid to have such an embarrassing name! I will name... Naruto-Shiori... Shina if I get a girl, and... Rito for a boy!"

Oops!? Did I just spit out my intentions?

Before Naruto could say something, Hiruzen interrupted the situation.

"Naruto, how about you check out your apartment? I have to go with Shiori-chan to pick out her shop."

"Eh!? But I wanna come too!"

"Then I guess I will have to stop the extra pocket money I am giving you-"

"Old man! I like the apa...tent! I am gonna check it out!"

And Naruto ran away to his apartment, leaving me alone.

Is pocket money more important than me...?

"Now Shiori-chan, do you like Naruto-kun?"

"Of course! Everyone abandoned me as soon as they found out I can't use chakra, and even started harrasing me! I annihilated them in the end though.

But Naruto is different! He said that he will protect me and become a great ninja! And that's why, I will earn large money and become a princess! And then I will marry him, and have cute kids like myself!"

Hiruzen just stared at me, and then asked something weird.

"Do you know how children come?"

Why are you asking a 3 year old kid a question like this?

"You don't even know that? From mother's belly."

"I see. Then how do children go inside children's belly?"

"...Why would they go inside if they are going to come out anyway? Isn't it because mother and father create them and they grow in mother's belly?"

"And how do mother and father create them?"

"... Let me think a bit..."

"Think."

I acted like I was thinking, and Hiruzen was surely feeling amused.

"Picture books didn't have any reference... Princess kisses the ninja so they get married. So... what is more than kiss?... What is it... uggggh! I don't know! Can you tell me?"

"Fufu~ You will get it once you get older."

"How much older? Four?"

"Well, much older than that. Anyway, if you like Naruto, take good care of him. I will have to work out some paperwork to buy you a shop. Prepare what you want to sell till then. Okay? You will get your shop in a week."

"Yeah. Thanks for my reward and compensation. But please tell me how babies are made! I am curious!"

"Hahaha! You will find out when you are old. Okay? Bye bye now. Sell good stuff, okay?"

He said that while ruffling my hair, ruining it. But I let him do that. As much as I hate his spinelessness, being close to the leader is a must for business. He is giving me a shop is weird enough, and that's most probably because I am Naruto's friend.

So I will just take it as a pre-wedding gift because he wouldn't be alive then.

"I assure you, I will become one of the biggest client of Konoha. I will let you make money out of me as a thanks."

"Really? Thanks a lot Shiori-chan! Well then, I will be going. Bye bye."

"Bye Old man!"

And he left while waving his hand.

I would have felt happy and grateful to him if I was normal. But I know that he didn't give Minato's and Kushina's money and techniques to Naruto, and didn't do anything to train him despite him being the dead last in Academy.

But My Naruto will be different than the Rasengan spamming pikachu. He will be a Rasengan and FTG spamming pikachu!

Oh well, let's get my apartment ready. I will have to learn to make food too. I suddenly miss my maid who did everything for me while I wasted away my life doing whatever I wanted. But I guess, I have to become an independent and a dependable person for Naruto.

Shiori-chan, you can do it!
