Mebuki had known that the blond Jinchūriki had a crush on her daughter and wasn't really surprised he had manipulated things so he could spend time with her. What had puzzled her was why he was insisting on her not dieting. When the ANBU Neko had decreed that Shinobi didn't need to diet and been backed up by the Hokage himself, she had figure it out.
He was worried. Worried that Sakura's dieting could cripple her career as a Kunoichi, cut it short on a mission, and wanted to do something to stop it from getting that far. He simply wanted to help the girl he had a crush on to survive in the world she chose to enter.
"I agree with the punishment and accept on behalf of my daughter." Mebuki inclined her head slightly, "Would tomorrow be acceptable to begin her tutoring sessions?"
"More than acceptable, Haruno-san." Naruto replied with a small bow.
"OKAA-SAN?!" Sakura yelped.
"Enough, Sakura." Mebuki ordered, "This is an exceptionally generous offer which prevents the Haruno Clan from being disgraced by the actions of a single rogue member. I will explain everything to you once we return home, but keep your peace for the moment."
Sakura quietened down and frowned. Feeling Naruto's gaze on her, she looked into his clear blue eyes. They were unapologetic at what he had just wrought and had a pleading quality to them, begging her to accept that what had been done was for her own good.
'Jeez…he really is too much.' she thought with a mental sigh. Smiling crookedly at him, she nodded slightly in acquiescence and was treated to the sight of him perking up slightly at the sign that she didn't hate him..
Sarutobi, Neko and Mebuki noticed this small byplay and swiftly concealed any grins that arose because of it, not that Neko actually needed to, what with the mask and all…
Once the two Haruno women leave, Sarutobi nods at Naruto approvingly and says, "Very well done, my boy."
"It helped that Nezumi-san was holding idiot boards above their heads so I could read them." Naruto replied dryly. A bashful Nezumi appeared with a stack of cardboard rectangles tucked under his arm and muttered, "They're called placards."
"Still, you did well to read them without alerting Sakura and Mebuki to the fact they were there." Sarutobi smirked as he added, "Even although Nezumi almost dropped one on Sakura-chan's head."
Naruto stayed to chat with his surrogate grandfather for a few minutes before heading off, the windows that only he could see floating around him. Double-timing it back to his apartment, Naruto whizzed up the stairs and into his rooms so he could get through the notices from his Gamer ability quickly and without people wondering why he was making odd waving notions in midair.
Sitting down at his kitchen table, he turned his attention to the first one as he waited for his cup ramen to cook…damn these three-minute waiting times!

"Again, like I'd say no." Naruto hit the 'Y' Button just before his egg timer rang, signalling that his Cup Ramen was ready, "Itadakimasu!"
