"There's so much more I want to tell you, Naruto," Hiruzen said as he looked out the window, but given the hour, I believe it would be best if you went home for now."
"But I know have three pretty girls living with me; how do you expect me to have them all fit in my apartment?" Naruto asked.
Hinata and Shizune blushed at being called pretty as Tsunade said, "I'll find us a new home tomorrow, Master; there's no way I'm letting you live in that pigsty for any longer than needed."
"You don't have to-"
"I do," Tsunade grumbled. "Now that that seal is on me, my greatest desire is to see you happy. Moving out of that place will make you happy, I just know it."
Naruto looked down to the ground as he said, "Okay, let's go home, everyone."
"Yes, Master," Hinata, Shizune and Tsunade said as they followed Naruto to his apartment. As soon as they arrived, Naruto said, "Tsunade, Shizune, you can sleep on the bed. I'm sorry, there's not much room but-"
"It's fine, Master," Shizune said. "Tsunade has a special trick that can make sure there's enough room. Isn't that right?"
Tsunade glowered at Shizune before sighing. Then, much to Hinata and Naruto's surprise, they saw Tsunade's body begin to de-age until she appeared to be the same age as the two children. "Wow; how did you do that?"
"I'd rather not say, Master," Tsunade answered. "With your level of training, you couldn't get it right, anyway. It requires extensive chakra control."
Naruto got a grin as he said, "That just means I'll have to train even harder now! That technique looks too cool for me to not want to try it!!"
"That's quite the reaction, Master," Shizune said as Tsunade climbed into bed with her.
"Master's always been a hard worker, even if the rest of the village doesn't see it yet," Hinata responded as she held Naruto's hand, a small blush forming on her face as she did.
"Are you two going to be sharing the same space, then?" Tsunade casually asked.
"Wha...can't Hinata sleep with you two tonight?" Naruto asked frantically. "I mean, there should be enough room for all three of you now, so..."
"What? You don't think Hinata's cute?"
"That's not it; she's very cute! It's just...I don't want to intrude on your privacy, you know?"
Tsunade's look softened as she absorbed the honest response that came from Naruto. "Well, I suppose if we squeeze together, we could fit."
"Th...thank you, Master," Hinata said as she blushed. "I'd still like to make sure you're comfortable where you're sleeping."
"That'd be great," Naruto said as he walked to the living room and laid down on the couch. Hinata, Shizune and Tsunade followed him as Hinata threw a blanket over him and asked, "Are you comfortable, Master?"
"Yeah, I am. By the way, before I go to sleep, could I ask what your goals are? Since we're a family now, I want to make sure we all help each other achieve the same goals."
