Chapter 14: 14 - Where are the ideas coming from???
Konoha…
Twins' apartment…
After finishing their lunch, the twins took a small rest, something they hadn't done in a long time. As they lay on their beds, Naruto looked at his brother, who seemed to be peacefully asleep with a satisfied smile, or so Naruto thought.
"Hey, Kirito, did you fall asleep already?" Naruto asked casually while looking at Kirito.
On the other hand, Kirito was trying to savor these rare moments of a carefree life he hadn't experienced in over three years.
Finally, he could enjoy life without the constant worry of starving to death. While he was relishing the moment, he heard his brother Naruto calling him from the side, but Kirito thought of ignoring him.
"Hey, don't sleep for too long, okay? You know we need to go out and play, right?" Naruto reiterated from the side, feeling content.
'Yes, I will enjoy my childhood as much as I can until I start training. I know that even though I might have solved the food problem, the world is not safe, and it's much bigger than this village.
So if I want to travel outside, I need to become strong, especially because that masked man is out there, and I will have my revenge…' Kirito thought while savoring the peace he currently enjoyed.
"Hey, Kirito, do you think that I can also become the Hokage?" Naruto asked from the side while looking at him.
'(….)!!!!! I will just ignore that for now.' Kirito thought as he turned his back toward Naruto.
"Hey, don't you think I will become all awesome and amazing when I become the Hokage…" Naruto said, laughing loudly as if he had already become Hokage.
'Where is that coming from?' Kirito asked himself as he tried to ignore his brother.
"You know when I become the Hokage, all the people of the village will acknowledge me and respect me." Naruto said with another loud laugh.
'Yes, that is normal, but do you know what you are thinking about right now?' Kirito thought but didn't say out loud.
"Hey, do you think I should do something to make the villagers notice me?" Naruto said, getting some ideas.
'What do you want to do, brother?' Kirito said to himself, knowing he doesn't need to ask him loudly because Naruto will say it anyway.
"Yes, that sounds like a plan. And when I become the Hokage, I will make sure you get to eat lots of Ramen." Naruto said with another laugh.
'Wait, what about the things you want to do or what is in your mind? You can't just go straight to the point where you will become the Hokage.' Kirito cursed in his mind.
"That's right, I think I have something here." Naruto said as he got down from his bed and retrieved something from under the table.
He came near Kirito and said, "Right, I will start my amazing works of art with you, but don't worry when I am finished with you. You will look amazing."
When Kirito heard that, he knew Naruto was up to no good. He opened his eyes to find out Naruto standing in front of him with a brush and a paint can, and then he shouted playfully, "What do you think you are doing, brother?"
"You're not sleeping???" Naruto asked, surprised, while looking at Kirito. He quickly put his hand behind him along with the brush and paint, then said, "It's not what you think it is…."
"I'm sure it isn't… " Kirito said as he got up from the bed with a smile.
Bam…Bam…

Afternoon…
Konoha...
Park beside the Academy…
Currently, Naruto and Kirito are walking in the direction of the park together while running quietly.
"Shikamaru, you guys are early?" Naruto said as they approached the Ino-Shika-Cho three kids.
"No, it is you guys who are late, but more importantly, what happened to you?" Shikamaru asked, pointing at the bruises on Naruto's face.
"Oh, this is nothing. Actually, they are just painted. You see…" Naruto said as he removed the black and red marks with the palm of his hand while smiling.
"What? They are all fake?" Choji asked, opening his mouth wide open.
"Actually, this one is real..." Naruto said, pointing at his forehead but suddenly said with surprise, "Oh, it's gone already."
"What happened? How did you get hurt?" Shikamaru asked as they walked toward the corner of the park.
"It is all Kirito's fault." Naruto said while pointing at his brother.
"Hey, how is this all my fault… you were the one who had the weird idea of painting on my face…" Kirito asked while rubbing his head.
"Is yours also fake?" Ino asked, coming beside Kirito with a concerned tone.
"Actually, it is not fake, and I got injured while we were fighting, but when we fell from the bed, both of us got hurt. But his wound started healing so fast, while mine is healing very slow." Kirito complained, looking at Naruto.
After that, they talked with each other some more and finally went home after playing some more.
•••••••••••
This is how they continued their days until one day afternoon when Naruto came alone to play in the park…
"Hey, Naruto, where is Kirito?" Ino asked when she saw Naruto coming alone.
"Did he go to train with Saito Sensei?" Shikamaru, being the genius and knowing, after all, he was there when Saito told Kirito about the weekend training day. So even if he wasn't a genius, it wouldn't need a genius to be able to know that because Choji also knows it.
"What do you mean, Shikamaru?" Ino asked, surprised.
"Oh, right, you were not with us that morning." Shikamaru said as he started explaining.
After listening, Ino turned towards Naruto and asked curiously, "So why didn't you go with him, Naruto?"
"I don't understand those complex things, besides, I will learn them when I join the academy anyway." Naruto said while shaking his head as if he was saying 'Take it easy' and then added, "Enough about that, let's start playing."
"So what will we play today? After all, we are short one member?" Choji asked, as they were 4 people instead of 5 now.
"How about..."
