86Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Chapter 3 – Beginning
Naruto was standing in front of the Sandiame Hokage in his office. He was trying to play it cool, but he was anxiously waiting what would be his first real lesson.
"What will we be learning today sensei?" Naruto asked.
Sarutobi had to smile at the boy when his thoughts ventured to a time back he taught a promising young group of shinobi.
'He reminds me so much of Jiraiya at times' Sarutobi thought with a smile.
But he quickly had to school his emotions as his next thought nearly made him scowl.
'Yet he also reminds me of Orochimaru. If only he had not received that damned cursed bloodline of his.'
"Actually Naruto, I thought today I would give you a test to see how much you have learned on your own" Sarutobi says.
Naruto frowned a little disappointed at the thought of not getting any real training today. He needed to graduate to get his scrolls and he needed his scrolls to gain control of his bloodline, which in his opinion was more of a curse at this point. Still he reasoned that this was just the start of his training and getting an honest evaluation of his skills wouldn't hurt so he nodded.
"This is the standard exit exam the academy gives all potential graduates to ascertain their knowledge of general shinobi history and skills. I don't expect you to get everything correct on the first try so just do your best okay?" he asked the boy as he handed him the five-page exam.
Naruto nodded, but had to admit he was a little nervous. He had never been tested before, but he was confident that all the books he had read before now would help him.
"Good, take this wooden tablet to write on and go over to the coach. You can begin when you are ready. You have one hour, good luck" Sarutobi says.
Naruto took the tablet and the test and sat on the coach. He decided to look over the questions first.
'Let's see … first question is, 'Who was the first Hokage?' That's easy' Naruto thought.
He quickly wrote down the correct answer and then continued on to read the next question.
'Okay second question, 'What ability was the second Hokage known for' Wow that's easy also' Naruto thought.
This continued on for the forty-five minutes as Naruto found it was a lot easier than he thought it would be.
'Could that really be the Academy test?' 'There's got to be more to it if they spend six years there learning to be a shinobi' Naruto thought.
Naruto looked at the Sandiame and saw he was busy. As Naruto spent the last fifteen minutes watching the old man work he couldn't help but think, 'There is no way I would ever want his job'. When the Sandiame looked up he noticed Naruto calmly waiting for him.
'Odd' 'Most kids would have been jumping around' thought the Sandiame.
"Thank you for waiting patiently Naruto. Please hand me your test and wait quietly as I grade it" Sarutobi says.
Naruto nods in understanding then stands and walks over to Sarutobi handing him the tablet with the finished test on it.
"Would you mind if I read one of those books while I waited?" Naruto asked.
"Not at all my boy, go ahead and pick which ever one you like" the Sandiame replied.
"Thank you Hokage-sama" Naruto says.
Hiruzen nods as he begins to look over the paper. Naruto went over to the book-case and picked a book titled 'Introduction to Ninja Careers and Path's'. He sat down and began to read up imagining what he might like to do when he officially became a ninja.
It took ten minutes for Sarutobi to go over the test. He had to say he was fairly impressed. It wasn't perfect, but Naruto definitely would pass the written portion of the Gennin Exam if this was a serious test. He looked over towards the couch and found Naruto engrossed in the book he picked. He cleared his throat a few times to get the boys attention.
"Alright, after going over your test I'd give you a score of seventy-three out of one hundred. That's pretty good for your first attempt. As we go along I will occasionally test you in this way to make sure you are tending to the mental aspects of being a shinobi and taking the time to read the books I assign you at the Library.
I am sorry Naruto, but being the Hokage means I won't have the time to directly teach you most of the time. However, I will be using a special clone that will allow me to give you instruction and supervision as you train. I will also from time to time have one of my shinobi instruct you to help you with the more physical aspects of your training.
However, since it's your first day training under me I will be testing you on your physical fitness. Now let's head out to a near by training ground so I can see how far along you are physically" the Sandiame says.
Naruto took this all in stride. He liked going to the library and while being trained by the reigning Hokage was awesome, being trained by his clone would be practically the same thing. And the old man didn't say he wouldn't ever directly teach him, he just said mostly.
Plus, Naruto was banking on something else. He was hoping with the Hokage's authority he could accidentally slip into sections he most likely wasn't meant to go in. He knew initially they would watch him carefully to make sure he stayed out of sections reserved for those higher than gennin in rank, but eventually they would let up. The library staff was lazy and often sat around on their butts reading different books or magazines themselves if they weren't talking to each other or someone they knew in the village. Naruto would give it a month and a half before he made his first attempt.
When they reached the training ground the Hokage told Naruto what he wanted him to do.
"Alright Naruto we'll just do a test of your level of fitness" Sarutobi says.
Naruto just nods ready to get it over with.
"Let's start by doing some stretches to limber up" Sarutobi says.
After ten minutes he starts to put Naruto through his paces.
"Okay that should be enough Naruto, now do twenty push ups" Sarutobi orders.
Naruto nods and completes the exercise. Sarutobi noted that Naruto had little trouble with the exercise, but his form was a little shaky.
"Lets move on to jumping jacks. Do … twenty" he says.
Naruto finishes and still his breath didn't even fluctuate.
"Okay, twenty sit-ups" Sarutobi orders.
Naruto finishes these as well and they move on to the next thing.
"I want you to go over to that tree and use that branch to do 20 pull ups" Sarutobi continues to order.
Naruto finished still seemingly fresh after a few minutes and stood in front of the old Kage.
"Alright Naruto good job so far I have one last task for you to do and then I will hand you a scroll filled with the Academy textbooks, schedule, and the three jutsu you will need to be able to perform to graduate down the road. Before we do that though I want to ask if there is something you would like to learn or study while you are training under me" the old Kage asks.
This surprised Naruto greatly as he never expected to be given a choice of what he'd like to learn even if it was in addition to the already prescribed workload of an academy student.
"I want to learn how to use weapons other than kunai or shuriken" Naruto says carefully.
"Weapons huh, well that's a little difficult …" the Hokage says trailing off.
Of course naturally Naruto became disappointed and it showed on his face. He really liked the idea of a powerful weapon that he could smite his enemies with and do all kinds of cool things.
"You see Naruto my boy we ninja don't really have much use for weapons beyond the standard kunai and shuriken. The ANBU carry short swords with them in case of combat against samurai or bandits with tools, but even then most ninja rely on their ninjutsu or tiajutsu even genjutsu to handle that kind of problem.
There are some ninja's even specialized groups that use specific weapons. Only Kiri and Kumo to a slightly lesser extent have their forces train extensively with weapons. Still we are ninja and the more skills a ninja has the better the ninja generally is. There are ninja that train with and use weird and devastating weapons, some you wouldn't even recognize as such believing them to be mere toys or not strong enough to harm an ant.
Still, the question remains on how to go about this … I guess I could allow you into the ninja archives. They should have records on present and past ninja of Konoha and our enemies that have been cataloged. You could read up on them and what they did, but some records are more detailed than others"
This was exactly what Naruto was hoping to hear and he was so overjoyed he lost the cold façade for a moment and glomped the surprised Hokage.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you" Naruto repeated.
"Yes, yes, now calm yourself Naruto-kun. As ninja we must always be aware of our emotions and control them" Sarutobi says.
"Hai Hokage-sama, sorry I was just really happy. Umm … Hokage-sama" Naruto says.
"Yes, Naruto what is it?" the Hokage asked curiously.
"Are you … alright? You know since I touched you" Naruto gets out.
Of course this shocked the Hokage. He had momentarily forgotten about the curse at seeing how happy Naruto was. Checking himself over he could not find anything wrong though. Thinking it over for a few minutes the Hokage came to a stunning conclusion.
'Now I see what the scroll meant about true love. It's not so much love, but the pure joy or euphoria one feels when one is in love. Kids naturally have this feeling due to their innocence, but Naruto's innocence was ripped from him before he could even walk.
Interesting though … why did he experience such a feeling right then?
Surely he's experienced people doing stuff for him or giving him things before right? He hangs around that Ramen shop a lot and seems to be somewhat more than a customer to the father, daughter duo there so he can't be completely foreign to this feeling can he?' Sarutobi pondered.
"I'm fine Naruto-kun. I am guessing when you are truly happy that your powers don't react like they normally would" Sarutobi says out loud.
"Oh" was the simply reply.
"This is a big development Naruto-kun. We are still trying to figure out as much as we can about your bloodline. Hopefully this will shed a little more light on it" Sarutobi says.
At Naruto's nod Sarutobi decides to move on.
"While you are learning I can also start you off practicing with a few weapons I'm familiar with including the staff type weapon, but initially we'll focus on basic kunai and shuriken" Sarutobi informs him.
Now under control and back to normal Naruto nodded. Although the small almost unnoticeable smile he sported couldn't be removed.
"Naruto, I expect that while you are learning from me that you practice and train on your own as well. You will need to take the initiative to figure out what is you want to learn or train in and figure out how best to go about it on your own. I'll be glad to answer the questions you have during our allotted time and give pointers and tips, but if you truly want to be powerful there are things that only you can do.
Plus it always good in the world we live in to keep a few things to yourself. You never know when you may need a hidden ace to defeat a powerful opponent or someone that's researched you.
Knowledge can be a powerful thing Naruto. It can tip the tides of war and keep those you care about safe. There is no such thing as too much knowledge or bad knowledge. It's all in how you use it and if used correctly it can save your life. A good ninja knows at least a little about everyone and everything including other professions and skills that are seemingly unrelated to being a ninja" Sarutobi lectures.
Looking up at the sky the Hokage see's it's already past noon and he has a meeting in a few minutes.
"I believe that is enough for today, but remember to keep training and learning on your own time Naruto-kun" The Hokage says.
"Hai, Hokage-sama" Naruto replies.
"Please call me Sarutobi-sensei while I am training you Naruto-kun and here is the scroll with your school supplies" hands Naruto the scroll "return to my office in two days. I will introduce you to the people who will be helping me to train you then, but for now you are dismissed" the Hokage says.
The Hokage was gone soon after leaving Naruto to his own devices.
Two days later
Naruto was once again in the Hokage's office as he and the old man were waiting for the people who would be helping in his training. He didn't have to wait long before they arrived and entered the office.
"Naruto, glad you are here and on time. Always remember to be punctual as it's important for a ninja to always arrive on time less they miss something important. Plus, it's rude to keep people waiting. Now I'm sure you are not here for a lecture on punctuality or manners so let's get to it.
These are the ninja that will be overseeing different aspects of your training when it requires a more hands on approach. This is Uchiha Mikoto, there are few better in the world than her at genjutsu. She retired to focus on being a mother, but she was quite adamant in being the one to train you.
Naruto thought she was attractive and she gave off a definite motherly vibe. She seemed nice enough, but he was wary of her being a Uchiha. He had few positive memories involving members of that clan. They tended to be arrogant some insanely so enough that more than a few of their ranks had attacked him claiming their bloodline was superior to any freak ability he had. Of course they died.
"This is Inuzuka Tsume, she is our lead tracker and will give you survival as well as tracker training. She has also proposed to give you your own ninken" Sarutobi introduces.
Naruto nodded at the information. When he looked at the Inuzuka matriarch he could tell she would be tough and demanding, but that he would learn a lot from her. He didn't really give much thought of the puppy. From what he know of the Inuzuka's he knew they bonded with their animals. He didn't really think that would be possible for him or non-Inuzuka.
"To her left is Hyūga Hoshimi, the wife of the current Hyūga clan head and an expert in tiajutsu. She will be your tiajutsu instructor and teach you how to control your chakra. The Hyūga are renowned experts of both tiajutsu and chakra control and Hoshimi here is even better than her husband when it comes to chakra control. She also was adamant about helping in your training" Sarutobi says.
When looking at the woman Naruto noticed she gave off the same vibe as the Uchiha matriarch which was a little surprising. He always associated the Uchiha with being arrogant hot heads while the Hyūga were arrogant stuck up jerks. They liked to act cool and calm, but they were actually far from it. Their cold indifferent exterior was usually only skin deep.
Still it was nice to see one that wasn't arrogant even if she did come off as very reserved and subdued. This one came off like a tamed pet especially when standing next to the wild Inuzuka woman. He actually doubted she could be adamant about anything, but he would accept the explanation for now. Despite that he would say she was easily the most beautiful of the three women.
"To the right of Lady Uchiha is Gekkō Hayate, Konoha's foremost expert on kenjutsu. He will be training you in kenjutsu and helping you with training to use various weapons" Sarutobi explains.
The man gave Naruto a nod, which he returned as he studied him. This one looked like a regular guy, but if he was an expert in swords then Naruto was eager to train with him.
"To the right of him is Aburame Shikuro, he is Konoha's poison's expert. He will be teaching you how to create poisons, identify poisons, defend against poison, and how to treat yourself if poisoned. I know your bloodline pretty much makes it impossible to harm you but these could be valuable lessons in the future" Sarutobi explains.
Naruto had only seen a few Aburame before and he looked like the ones he saw. High collared trench coat, dark glasses, and dark hair. He nodded in respect to the man. Unlike the Hyūga Naruto could tell the cool, calm exterior wasn't an act for this particular clan.
To the left of Lady Hyūga stands the final person that will be training you Namiashi Raidō. He is an expert in a special brand of ninjutsu and is well versed in a rare field called fūinjutsu. He will oversee your ninjutsu training and introduce you to fūinjutsu. If you show interest in the field he will also train you in that" The Hokage finishes.
Naruto looked at the man and tried hard not to stare at his scar. Thankfully he was successful as he didn't think his staring would be appreciated. The man seemed disciplined and strict. He knew it would be difficult training, but he would probably learn a lot.
This did make Naruto wonder why he was getting such from what he could tell experienced and talented trainers. He was sure the Hokage was going to pawn him off on some gennin or chūnin that would be little more than babysitters. So he now wondered what the catch was.
The Hokage had also noticed Naruto's look. The look of someone trying to spot a trick. It was time now for the second reason this little group meeting was called. He had his office scanned for listening devices earlier this morning and the ANBU checked for their loyalty. He was sure their were no prying eyes or ears that would learn of what would be revealed.
"As I am sure you guessed by now Naruto-kun these people would not agree or want to train you without a reason." he received a slow nod " I know I told you in the council meeting that you would have to wait until you become a gennin to learn of what I am about to tell you, but when you passed that test I gave you earlier and the conditioning I have decided you have passed the standards met to become a gennin even if you are not technically one as of this moment, understand?" He asked.
He once again received a nod of affirmation from the boy as he focused solely on the old man.
"The men and women in this room all knew your parents to some degree. Lady Uchiha, Lady Inuzuka, and Lady Hyūga were all friends of your mother Uzumaki Kushina" The Hokage tells him.
Naruto looked at the three women and saw how they smiled at him. They all expected him to cry, but instead he turned back to the Hokage to hear the rest. All the ninja in the room filed that away to think about later. Seeing Naruto focused back on him Sarutobi continued.
"Raidō is a bodyguard to the Hokage. He was also guarded your father whom you may know as the Yondiame Hokage Namikaze Minato" Sarutobi informs him.
Naruto glances at the man again making sure to once again avoid lingering on the scar. He then turned back to the Hokage and asked a question.
"What about Gekkō-san and Aburame-san?" He asked respectfully.
"As ninja of the village they of course knew your father, but neither had a real relationship with either of your parents. Their reasons for training you are their own. I'm sure they will tell you in time. Now unless you want a minute I will move on to the last thing I have to tell you before ending this meeting" he says.
Naruto just shakes his head, but was disappointed to learn that once again he received no real training, but he let it go as it was just the second day and so far he was learning important things. As to why he didn't get all emotional over what he was learning, well he had studied and trained hard on controlling himself to avoid accidents. He had to keep his emotions in check or bad things would happen. He just never trained himself to reign in happy feelings or moments, because he had never experienced that around other people only caution, fear, sorrow and anger.
"Then I shall tell you your parents loved you very much Naruto. I'm sure everyone here will vouch for that being true" the Hokage says.
The others all nodded in affirmation even the Aburame, which Naruto found odd because his glasses never moved.
"They died protecting you" The Hokage tells him.
"Protecting me?" Naruto questions.
"Yes protecting you. See when you were born a demon known as the Kyūbi attacked the village. As the reigning Hokage it was your father's job to protect the village. We lost many lives that night mainly ninja but also some civilians caught in the destruction.
Your father had no other way to defeat the beast than to seal it into a container and due to the overwhelming strength and ferocity of the beast that container had to be human, a child at that for the seal to work. As I'm sure the others will attest your father was an honorable man, which is rare for a ninja, he refused to seal the beast in any other child than his own.
As he said what kind of Hokage would he be if he forced such a burden on another family. That is why he chose you to bear this burden. He trusted that you will be able to handle it and asked that you be seen as a hero. Unfortunately with all the destruction and death that happened that night the people couldn't accept that and chose to blame you as the container or as you and others burdened with such responsibility are called a Jinchūriki. It means the power of human sacrifice" the Hokage tells him.
"So I'm a jinchūriki for the Kyūbi?" Naruto repeats questioningly.
"I'm afraid so my boy and that's why the people who hate you do so, because they are afraid. The civilians are afraid you are the demon, because they have little or no knowledge of ninja techniques let alone an art as obscure and rare not to mention powerful as sealing.
And the ninja are afraid the seal will break as I said there are few who are practitioners of fūinjutsu let alone know it's capabilities. They think your seal will break and the demon will get out to attack us again or take over your body if it already hasn't. They don't know the method your father used was almost impossible to be broken as he contracted the Death God to do the actual sealing at the cost of his life and soul" The Hokage says.
Naruto had to admit so far much of what he wanted to learn in life was all explained in about five or ten minutes. His parents, why the villagers hated and attacked him, why he was different. He still needed to find out about his bloodline but he knew that was coming in time as well.
"What most people don't know is that there were other containers before you. Your mother and another Uzumaki woman named Mito whom married the Shodiame Hokage and actually passed the burden on to your mother before her death" Sarutobi tells him.
"We believe something happened to make her seal, which was different from the one you have, fail. Usually it would have been blamed on the effect of giving birth, but you were born before the seal broke so something else had to have happened. Likely they came under attack by some one extremely powerful and with knowledge of seals, but we can't get around how they knew of your birth and birth place as they were secrets plus Kushina's status because until I told you and by extension the people in the room only a few people should have known and one of them, Mito, was dead. I have been looking into what happened that night for some time, but have come up empty in the investigation" Sarutobi told them.
Naruto nodded. He was grateful to the old man for telling him all this and looking into what happened, but now he had other question. Unfortunately the men in the room missed the guilty looks the three women exchanged. Kushina was a great and terrifying ninja on par with the Yondiame until he invented his signature jutsu and even then she still gave him a tough time when they sparred. Out of everyone she was his preferred sparring partner because of her unique skills and strength.
Yet they all knew she had two flaws that would have been fatal for almost anyone else. One, she was easy to anger if you knew the right trigger and it wasn't a very well kept one. Two, she was a blabber mouth and often gave personal and critical information away when she was with people she considered trustworthy, some times in the open. Her secret had been something each one learned at some point in time Mikoto being the last to know.
They had only been able to show the expected amount of shock because they had no idea the Shodiame's wife was also a jinchūriki. To think the woman who was widely thought of as the 'mother' of the village with the Shodiame the 'father' was a jinchūriki. It was shocking news indeed and explained a few things that happened early when they were still getting to know the red-haired foreign girl.
"Hokage-sama do jinchūriki's gain any abilities or something I can do?" Naruto asked.
"Well unfortunately as I said your mother's and Mito-sama's seals were different. Their seals involved mainly restricting and subjugating the beast constantly so they never used its foul destructive power. Plus, they were powerful warriors themselves and never had the need to call on it or just refused to. So I'm sorry but there is no known method to train you in that way or even examples to help you.
I can tell you that other jinchūriki have displayed powerful and frightening abilities. One that has been seen when a few have been confronted with unfavorable odds is the ability to transform into their tailed beast or bijū's form. How they do this we don't know, but in this form they are capable of wielding their beasts full power.
It has also been noted that each jinchūriki gains some sort of skill or ability. Case in the point the containers for the One-tail called Shukaku can use sand ninjutsu, which makes them particularly dangerous in the deserts of Suna. There are other examples, but we should move on. As far as I remember neither Mito-sama or Kushina-chan displayed any gifts, but as I said their seals were different and focused on restricting the beast's power so they may not have been influenced by it enough to gain anything from it.
I can say your bloodline nor healing ability have to do with the fox, but they may be boosted by it. You would probably have to meet the fox some how to find out if it has done anything beneficial to you. But I warn you that more than most of these Chakura no Bakemono (Chakra Monsters) the Kyūbi is particularly evil and will probably try to hurt you and lie to you so beware of anything it says or does if you ever meet it inside the seal" Sarutobi informs him.
Naruto nodded at all the information, but admittedly he was finding it harder and harder to focus on the conversation.
"I will contact my former student Tsunade Senju. Mito was her grandmother and there might be something of Mito's left behind that can help you. Unfortunately all of your parents belongings and scrolls were destroyed in the attack so anything they have left for you is in the scroll, which I will give you once you are officially a gennin and sorted onto a team" Sarutobi says.
Naruto nods at this not feeling so anxious now that he knows more about himself and his parents.
"If there is nothing else I believe a lot has been said here and I have an important meeting to get to so your all dismissed. Naruto you should get to know your instructors and set up a schedule that works for all of them. You can let me know what's been decided when we meet again on Friday" The Hokage says.
Everyone nodded at this grateful to leave. Once they did a new figure appeared in the office.
"Weasel what do you have for me?" The Hokage asked.
"Hokage-sama I regret to inform you that the rumors are true" the weasel masked ANBU reports.
"I see … that's unfortunate. How much time do we have before they act?" Hiruzen asks.
"I'm unsure" was the reply.
"Explain?" the Hokage ordered.
"Something has changed recently. Instead of talks of a revolt there is a growing call to succeed from Konoha and Fire Country all together" the weasel masked ANBU informs the elderly leader.
If Sarutobi could have been more shocked he'd probably be dead from his body not being able to take it. It took him several moments to recompose himself.
"That might be worse than our strongest clan rebelling. It would never be allowed. For the Uchiha to succeed would call attention to Konoha. Attention we can't afford not to mention the loss of our strongest clan to a potential rival. I'm not sure Konoha would survive either move" Sarutobi offers out loud.
"I'm afraid there is nothing you can do Hokage-sama. The clan feels alienated and that Konoha no longer feels like home. More and more clans men are calling to succeed from Konoha's charter. A move which is allowed by the agreement signed between the Uchiha, Senju, and the Daimyō" the weasel masked ANBU replies.
"Weasel, please remove your mask" Sarutobi orders.
"Yes, Hokage-sama" the ANBU complies with the order.
"Can I still count on you, Itachi?" the Hokage asks.
"If they rebel I will side with you Hokage-sama. A rebellion can not be allowed to take place. However, if they were to choose to leave peacefully then I am sorry Hokage-sama, but I would have to choose my family" Itachi informs the man.
"I … see. I can't say that I'm not a bit disappointed by that" Sarutobi says as he turns away.
"I do not mean to disappoint you Hokage-sama, but if they are choosing the more peaceful solution then I will stand by them. They have tried talking, but that doesn't seem to change the situation. I would prefer to say in Konoha as I do feel it is my home, but I understand their feelings as well. I can only say that I will try to open the dialogue further between you and my father" Itachi says.
The old Hokage nods feeling tired and ready to call it a day. Unfortunately he did have an actual meeting he needed to attend and then he needed to call on Jiraiya to give word to Tsunade about young Naruto and a request.
"If that is all you are free to leave" the Hokage dismisses the boy.
"Hai" Itachi responds before leaving.
Alone in his office the old leader sat thinking on that has happened so far on this day. On one hand he laid a solid foundation with Naruto that would serve to keep him loyal the village and himself in particular. On the other he might be responsible for losing the village's most powerful and respected clan after the decline of the Senju.
Getting up he headed to the meeting. Maybe he would come up with a solution for the Uchiha problem after a good night's rest.
Thank you all for reading the newest chapter of Hungering Cold. The time between this and the last update was unacceptable so I promise to do better by my stories, all of them. Which mean expect new chapters of some of my old dormant stories within the next two month as I try to keep moving forward on Work Release.
Unfortunately it is now Football season and well I'm heavily invested in Fantasy Leagues and Football talk so forgive me if I am unable to fulfill my promise immediately. With that said onto some things about this chapter that might be questioned
Hinata's mother is alive. The Wiki neither lists her as dead or alive so maybe like a lot of characters she's just hidden in the background. With the way the Hyuga clan works and Hiashi's attitude I wouldn't be surprised if the female Hyuga's are kept on short leash or a to be seen not heard kind of unwritten rule.
So instead of having him meet and save Hinata I am going to use her mother to train him in the areas mentioned as the Hyuga's are really the best at those particular areas and I didn't want to use Gai/Kakashi to train Naruto.
Oh and to head off such talk none of the 3 will be involved with Naruto in any way except as teacher-pupil. They might provide a further role such as female friend/aunty/motherly ones, but that is undecided. There will be no Milf pairing involved and as of now this isn't a harem, sorry.
