"I…see." Naruto didn't understand everything, but he gathered the fact that his Jiji was giving him a lesson and strove to try and understand it, "What are you suggesting, Jiji?"

"As she is right now, Haruno Sakura is a genjutsu/med-nin candidate." Sarutobi sighed, "That is, if she lives past her first C-Rank, which is unlikely at the moment. Reading between the lines of the Academy reports, her Taijutsu is just barely sufficient, her Shurikenjutsu is adequate and her skill with Genjutsu is impressive. Her chakra reserves are small and she continues to 'diet', reducing her physical energy compared to her mental energy. This also means she tires easily and thus cannot train for extended periods of time."

Naruto was taken aback. Why was the Hokage sharing this with him?

"Because I have a solution to this problem and I need your help to execute it." The Hokage replied when he voiced this question, "Despite her current issues, Haruno Sakura is someone who has the potential to be great. A Genjutsu Mistress, a great Med-Nin, Infiltration…there are many possibilities as to what she could be. Are you willing to help me help her?"

"Of course." Naruto nodded. After all his Jiji had done for him, if he could repay him, all he had to do was ask. He saw several small windows appear out of the corner of his eye, but as none of them were a quest window, ignored them for now.

"Thank you, Naruto-kun." Sarutobi said with a glimmer of pride in his eyes, "Now, the situation is this; the person who was responsible for smashing your former apartment's window since you were seven was a member of the Haruno Clan, Haruno Isuca, who is Haruno Sakura's second cousin. Tomorrow after the Academy, you will be called for a meeting with me, as well as Haruno Mebuki and Sakura in order to resolve the issue. This is what I would like you to do…"

Sarutobi outlined his plan and then asked if that would be alright with him.

"Do you think they'll accept it?" Naruto asked doubtfully.

"Mebuki is not stupid." Sarutobi snorted, "For one of her blood-relatives to be caught doing this kind of petty crime is a deeply shameful thing. She will allow it so long as the matter goes no further than this and the matter is buried in the depths of the bureaucracy."

"OK then. I'll help you out, Jiji." Naruto grinned then forced himself not to jump as Neko appeared from nowhere with a cardboard box tucked under one arm.

"Hokage-sama, I discovered this box in a secret panel behind where Uzumaki-san's dresser used to be." the ANBU operative reported as she handed the box to Naruto, "In addition, I would estimate that at least three people were responsible for the destruction of Uzumaki-san's property, although there is no clue as to who they were other than the urine on the decoy books Uzumaki-san left out."

"Decoys?" Sarutobi raised an eyebrow at Naruto at this.

"My place has been broken into a couple of times before." Naruto replied uncomfortably, "After the first time, I carved the secret panel out so whenever I left the apartment, no one other than an ANBU or a very thorough searcher could find anything I hid in it."

Naruto opened the box to reveal his academy textbooks, a couple of photos of him when he was younger with the Hokage at Ichiraku's, as well as the book on Intermediate Hakage Taijutsu that he had been given by Iruka.

"I don't suppose my new clothes were spared?" Naruto asked Neko, who shook her masked head.

"All your jumpsuits and new purchases were shredded to pieces." the ANBU replied, "I am sorry, Uzumaki-san."

"It's OK." Naruto sighed, "I'll just have to wash the set I have on every day…wait, let me guess; my appliances are either stolen or broken beyond repair?"

"An accurate guess, Uzumaki-san." Neko replied, "There looked to have been gratuitous use of a crowbar or some similar blunt object. All have been smashed beyond reasonable repair."

Sarutobi felt a growing anger at whomsoever had perpetrated this crime and resolved to put an ANBU team onto investigating it as soon as was feasible.

"I do believe this revelation upgrades Naruto-kun's status to critical." he said aloud, "Neko, kindly inform the work crew at the former ANBU HQ that household appliances will also be required. Naruto-kun, I'll give you some money as emergency funds so you can buy some more clothes."

"You don't have to do this for me Jiji." Naruto protested as the ANBU vanished again, "I can handle myself!"

"I do actually; it is under the guidelines for Guardians of Orphans." Sarutobi replied, "Even if it wasn't required, I'd still do it because I want you to be happy. I want you to be able to at least relax at home, if nowhere else. Moving you into the former ANBU HQ will help with that as it is still watched by a team of ANBU to make sure no one attempts to enter it to find secrets that might have been left behind after the HQ was moved."

"Jiji…" Naruto smiled at his surrogate grandfather, "Thank you."
