Ever since the kidnapping from last year kushina and Minato decided to start teaching and training naruto and naoki. It began with the basics like Leaf Concentration, that would evolve into tree climbing.
At some point, with that I mean today the twins complained about their training.. they did those two things almost everyday...
"Stop complaining!" Kushina said and hit the twins on the head, of course lightly but with enough impact it still stung
"Itte!!" The twins whined rubbing the just hit spot
"Maa, Kushina let's do something else I mean they got the hang of their current training, kinda... and they have been doing the same thing for like a year.." Minato reasoned
"Then what should we teach them? Their four years old minato! Just. four. years." She argued
"Well, let's just let them decide" minato smiled at naruto and naoki
The twins looked at each other and then back at their parents, their eyes sparkled with happiness
"I wanna learn kaa-chan's chain technique/tou-chan's teleportation technique!" The twins said at the same time, beaming their parents a smile
(A/n: guess who's learning what ^^ I'm revealing it further ahead lol)
"..."
Kushina and Minato were a little troubled by the request.. would naruto and naoki even understand if they explained how it worked and how to properly mold their chakra for it to work..
"Please~" the twins begged
Both kushina and Minato didn't have the heart to reject the request.. not when they gave them the puppy eyes.. they gave in and decided to teach them.. well they'll try to..

A time span from almost 12 months past and the twins really started getting the hang of it.
Naruto was able to summon at leas one chain effortlessly and two chains depending on his amount of chakra and concentration in molding the chains.
Naoki had a bit more difficulties with hiraishin. She could easily make the seals and mark it on people and things but teleporting itself was very straining for her.. she'd get tired after teleporting once and completely drained after teleporting twice
In a span from around 12 months it all may seem like slow progress and achievements, but for 5 year olds it was very impressive.
Naoki and naruto weren't the only ones training hard. The fellow Uchiha their age was also working hard to become more like his older brother and to impress his hard boiled father, who only had eye for perfection.. which was Itachi in his eyes..
The three, naoki, naruto and sasuke would almost always train together, sometimes even hinata would come along.. but barely..
Hinata was in a very strict household that wouldn't let her go outside much, and when they did it was almost always with a guard.. Naoki would sometimes just sneak hinata away from her compound and bring her back before people noticed.. well that's what naoki would want to happened.. most of the time she'd just gets caught..

It was a beautiful day and mostly sunny day but just because the sun shone brightly didn't mean it was warm.. in fact it was the opposite, the day was rather cold with snow on the ground but that didn't stop the twins from going outside to have fun
The twins made plans with their friends to hang out and play today. The group of friend existed of Naoki, naruto, sasuke and hinata. At first Itachi and shisui planned to come to but a mission was suddenly proposed and they couldn't reject.
Naoki was currently waiting for her brother so they could leave together but.. she eventually got fed up with him taking the time of the world and went on ahead.
She was the first to arrive and sat on the swing that was tied to a tree. She unwrapped her blue striped scarf and redid it more properly.
Naoki then heard an uproar, she glanced at where the sounds came from and saw her friend, hinata. She frowned at the sight.. hinata was getting bullied..
the hyuga crouched down into a small ball looking only down and almost crying
Naoki got up and ran to her friend's rescue. She stood before hinata facing the three bullies and had her arms stretched out sideways.
"Stop bullying hinata" She said with a glare
Hinata looked up and her face lightened up
"N-nao-chan.." she stuttered
"Don't worry hinata, I'll protect you" naoki assured her
"Ah! You're the one my parents tell me to stay away from!" One said, started laughing and pointing
"Right right, she belongs to the monster duo" another followed
Naoki wasn't affected by the words they gave her.. she was stronger and had people she could rely on and share the pain with, plus words never bothered her much.. what hurt more were the eyes that they would give her..
"Plus her hair is red, and red is the color of the demons!" The third said and got closer to naoki, He snatched away her scarf and moved back to where he stood before
Naoki was angry, the scarf was a precious gift from her mother that she spent so much time on making..
"Give it back, that's not yours!" Naoki said running after the guy who stole it but the other boy blocked her way by pulling her back by her hair
Naoki then was held in a neck lock..
"O-ow!" Naoki chocked
"Let nao-c-chan g-go" hinata cried out
Naoki elbowed the holder in his stomach. The boy clutched his stomach and shouted in pain, but it didn't end their. Naoki kicked his knee and pushed him back.
"You monster!" The one said that had the scarf
He ripped off a bit of the scarf and trew it at naoki, while jumping on the rest of the scarf. The scarf got dirty and ripped.. after some jumping and then he threw the other shreds to the girl
The other boy who fell victim to naoki's attack was standing up and making a fist. He was ready to punch naoki back
Tho other boy who was doing nothing went to the hyuga and was also ready to punch
"S-stop!" Hinata protested against the bullies
Naoki shut her eyes and hinata did the same, but a hit never came.
Shisui protected hinata and itachi protected naoki.
"S-shit" one bully said
"R-retreat!" The other one said and the three bullies ran away
"Itachi/shisui!" The two exclaimed
The two uchihas looked totally worn out, their clothes dirty and even ripped in some places.. Naoki figured they just returned from the mission
Shisui offered his hand to the still trembling hinata, hinata gladly extended her hand. Shisui pulled her into a comforting hug and patted the hyuga
"Naoki, Are you okay?" Itachi asked the girl..
Naoki was picking up what was left of her scarf and stuffed her pockets with it.. Itachi frowned at the still visible pieces of scarf laying around..
"I'm okay.. not hurt or anything.. just a little cold" she said giving him a assuring smile
"If that's the case, I'll give you this"
Itachi undid his own red scarf and wrapped it around naoki
"Eh? But won't you get cold?" Naoki frowned
Itachi chuckled
"It's fine, I'm headed home unlike you. You're planning on staying outside, right? Then stay warm"
"Okay~" naoki smilled and hugged the older boy
Naoki then glanced at her friend to check if she was alright and all, she seemed to be getting teased by the other uchiha but looked happier than before
Itachi and shisui then left. A few minutes after their departure the other two arrived at the scene, naruto and sasuke were sharing naruto's red scarf and slowly walking toward the group, their face both slightly red.
Who knows what happened~
