"No, Aunt, I take a bath on my own," Naruto said, his face turning red.

  "Look at him, getting all shy. Okay, you go and take a bath with Shisui. I’ll prepare your room in the meantime," Hae said.

  Naruto kept his head down to hide his embarrassment and only nodded, while everyone else ughed at his expense.

  Shisui led Naruto to the bathroom, where the bathtub was already filled with hot water. He removed his clothes and then moved to help Naruto with his.

  Naruto unsciously resisted. Shisui, thinking he was just being shy, removed Naruto's shirt and was shocked once again wheiced bruises on Naruto's back.

  "N-Naruto, when did you get these injuries? Did someo you?" Shisui asked in a ge firm tone, hiding his ao avoid sg the boy.

  "No, no o me. I just went to a shop to buy a new shirt, but the shopkeeper didn’t want to sell it to me and told me to leave. But I liked that shirt, so I asked about the price. He may have gotten a little angry and pushed me out of his shop, and I fell... It was my mistake. I won't do that again," Naruto added at the end, worried they might think he was rude and send him back.

  "You little... It was not your mistake. From now on, you buy anything you want. Just tell me what you like, and I’ll buy it for you, okay?" Shisui said, ruffling Naruto's hair. Naruto nodded, happy.

  "KAIDA!" Shisui shouted.

  "Yes, brother?"

  "e take a bath with us."

  "...? Okay, brother," Kaida said, a little fused about the reason, but he didn’t see any problem with it.

  He ehe bathroom to find Shisui and Naruto sitting there, notig the bruises on Naruto's back.

  "What happened? Brother, were you so careless that you couldn’t handle a kid and dropped him?" Kaida asked.

  Smack

  "It wasn’t me, brat! He fell before. you heal him, or are you just wasting your time at the hospital?" Shisui asked.

  "You didn’t have to hit me so hard," Kaida said, rubbing his head. Naruto first chuckled but stopped when he saw Kaida rubbing his head.

  Kaida sat down near Naruto, his palm glowing green with chakra. With his level of mediinjutsu, a small bruise like this was no problem.

  "So cool," Naruto said.

  "Huh? You think this is cool? Wait until after the bath; I’ll show you something way cooler than that," Shisui said.

  "Sometimes I feel like I’m the older one among us," Kaida said.

  Smack

  RUB RUB

  Naruto rubbed Kaida’s head with his little hand, repaying the favor.

  "Oh! Thank you, Naruto. The pai away so quickly! Are you a mediinja too?" Kaida asked in an exaggerated tone.

  "HEHEHEHE."

  "Okay, okay, let's take a bath, or Mom will get angry," Shisui said. Then he and Kaida washed Naruto's hair and body before washing themselves, and they all went to the bathtub.

  ***

  "It’s been half an hour! Are you guys sleeping in there?" Hae shouted from outside the bathroom.

  "No, we’re just ing out," Shisui’s voice came from inside.

  After ten minutes, all three of them came out of the bathroom, their skin a little red from soaking in hot water for too long.

  "We might have ehat bath a little too much," Kaida said, chug a bit.

  "Yeah, but that was so nice," Naruto said. It was his first time truly enjoying a hot bath, and he loved it.

  They went to the hall only to find Yomi and Hae sitting there.

  "Hi, Naruto, I’m Yomi," Yomi said, waving at him.

  "Oh! You’re big brother Kaida’s girlfriend, right? He told me about you."

  "WHAT?" Yomi nearly shouted. Even though they were lovers, they hadn’t told Hae and Shisui yet.

  "You’re a girl and my friend. Is that wrong?" Kaida asked ily.

  Hae and Shisui just ughed. They already knew about this, so it wasn’t a shock to them, though Yomi turned a little red.

  "I have something I o do in my room," she said, and quickly ran to her room.

  "BAKKA," she shouted before closing her door.

  Everyone chuckled except Naruto, who was a little fused about what had just happened.

  "Oh! I almost didn’t reize you now, Naruto. You’re looking so cute!" Hae said, fog orio.

  "Thank you," Naruto said shyly.

  "e o me show you your room," Hae said, leading Naruto to his room, which was right o hers. The room was decorated for a small boy by Hae. It had everything: a bed, a chair, a table, an almirah, and a big mirror on the wall, all adjusted for a small boy.

  "Do you like it?" Hae asked.

  "I love it! Thank you, Auntie," Naruto said, bowing a little.

  "I wish my son were as well-mannered as you, Naruto," Hae said, sighing a little.

  "MOM, I hear you!" Shisui said, sounding hurt.

  "I wahat, so you learn a thing or two from your little brothers," Hae said.

  "Don’t worry, Aunt. I’ll teach him well," Kaida said, patting his chest.

  Smack

  "One is already affected by him," Hae said, sighing once again.

  "Naruto, make sure not to learn their behavior," Hae said, pointing her finger in Kaida and Shisui’s dire.

  "Somehow, I feel like we’re being treated as bad influences," Shisui said.

  "Such sharp intuition. Are you using your Mangekyo?" Kaida said, as Shisui ointing out the obvious.

  Smabsp;If this were a cartoon, Kaida would have 4-5 bumps on his head by now from all the punches he got from Shisui.

  Naruto and Hae just chuckled, seeing all this.
