A Few weeks later, on the 7th of October;

A couple of weeks have passed since Naruto was put in the bingo book. Since then, Naruto's daily routine hasn't changed much. He wakes up early in the morning, has an intense physical workout alone or with Guy if he is available, then returns home to clean up, eat breakfast, and make a couple of dozen Shadow clones before leaving home for the hospital.

The clones stay in the safety and privacy of the Senju compound to work on different jutsu that Naruto has assigned them. One of the most important ones is the Flying thunder god that Naruto just started to learn recently, and will take some time to master.

For the last couple of weeks, Naruto was mostly assigned to the hospital, where he took on more responsibilities after his promotion. From doing surgery alone without supervision to making medical supplies like blood pills and Chakra pills, to helping in training new medical candidates.

His reputation has greatly improved through his exposure to patients and the effectiveness of his treatment methods. People gossip about the young red-haired Chunin in the hospital who can heal and cure many injuries and diseases. Of course, many others still see him as the fox demon, but some have started to view him differently, especially his patients, their families, colleagues, and teammates.

Today, Naruto woke up early as if it were just another day, trained alone since Guy was on a mission, showered, ate breakfast with his mother and sister, and then went to the hospital. The only difference today is that it is Naruto's ninth birthday.

But Naruto didn't treat it any differently. He received patients, went on rounds, and even had to do one emergency surgery on a reckless Genin who had a bad accident while training.

Now, with his shift over, he started walking home alone as he couldn't find his mother in the hospital. And when he asked about her whereabouts, he was told that she left early and that was it.

As he neared the Senju compound, he could sense multiple familiar chakra signatures in his home.

As he walked towards his front door, He tried to think of a reason why there were so many people at his home.

After he entered, he took off his footwear with a slight look of confusion on his face. The house sounds so quiet for the number of people inside.

"Surprise. Happy birthday." Multiple voices shouted, as he entered the dark living room and the lights were suddenly turned on.

Naruto's eyes widen slightly in surprise, not from the surprise party itself but from the number of attendees. His birthday was usually a small family event with his parents and two to three more guests, so he was quite surprised to see the number of people in front of him.

Under a banner that read 'Happy ninth birthday Naruto' and other colorful decorations, many people Naruto knew gathered. His mother Tsunade, his sensei Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Shizune, Anko, the leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans and their wives, Mikoto, along with her son Itachi, and even Shisui were present.

"Happy birthday, Naru," Tsunade said with a beaming smile. She put a lot of effort into this party and into inviting all the people who are close to their family. She also wanted to do something nice and memorable for Naruto before he entered the Anbu. She knows the Anbu oranization is dark and that it may change her son or not give him the time to celebrate like this again until he leaves it.

"Thanks, mum. This is a nice surprise." Naruto said with a smile.

"Were you really surprised?" Hiruzen asked with a raised eyebrow. He knows Naruto to be one of, if not the best, sensors.

"Not about their presence as I already sensed them, but about them being here to celebrate my birthday," Naruto said, making Hiruzen nod

"No need to rub in your sensory ability on to us, Naruto," Jiraiya said with a joking, mocking tone.

"Good to see you here, Ero-sennin." Naruto said with a small smirk.

"Bart, don't call me that." Jiraiya said with a fake heated tone as many others laughed lightly. Quite the accurate nickname for Jiraiya.

Naruto turned to the Ino-Shika-Cho families and gave then a welcoming smile.

"I thank you all for being here, I appreciate it," Naruto said

"Don't mention it, Naruto-kun. We couldn't refuse an invitation from Tsunade-sama, and someone needed to do something other than work, sleep, and play Shogi," Yoshino said, giving a sidelong look at her husband, which made the other laugh at his expense.

"Troublesome." Shikaku sighed to himself.

"Still, I thank you all for coming," Naruto said before turning towards Mikoto

"Thank you for coming, Mikoto-nee-san," Naruto said, which surprised a lot of those present due to the choice of such an affectionate title. But they didn't comment when they saw Mikoto smile softly.

"I wouldn't dare miss it, Naruto-kun," Mikoto said, to which Naruto nodded before turning to Anko, Itachi, and Shisui

"Thank you for coming, guys," Naruto said

"Happy birthday, Naruto. I can't believe that you just turned nine years old. You look like my age or even a bit older." Anko said with a big smile as she looked at Naruto up and down. He did look very tall and mature for someone who just turned nine.

"Good to see you again, Naruto, and happy birthday. We haven't seen or trained with each other in some time. We should change that," Shisui said with a smile

"Happy birthday, Naruto-san," Itachi said simply with a blank tone of voice

"I appreciate you guys, and I hope you enjoy the party," Naruto said as Tsunade approached him

"Come on, Naruto, we need to get his party started," Tsunade said as she guided Naruto to the head of the table where the cake is.

"Where is Mito?" Naruto asked as he hadn't seen his little sister since he came back. He could feel her nearby, along with multiple other small signatures.

"Don't worry, she is sleeping in a room nearby, along with the other Children," Tsunade said

From then on, the party went into full swing after Naruto blew out the candles. Food and drinks were served along with pieces of cake. The attendees gave Naruto the presents they brought. It was mostly premium ninja equipment from his mother, Sensei Hiruzen, Shizune, Anko, and the Uchiha. The Ino-Shika-Cho families brought him a premium Shogi set along with other items, while Jiraiya gave him a wrapped gift that looked like a book.

The party continued until ten in the evening before people started to excuse themselves to leave.

This wasn't just a birthday party; it was an event where several Konoha's upper echelons met and discussed many things in a joyful atmosphere.

But everything went fine in the end. Thought there was a discreet incident with Jiraiya as he had to change the gift that he had given Naruto. He meant to gift Naruto a signed copy of the Tale of Utterly Gusty Ninja, but he accidentally gave Naruto a certain book that he meant to give to Kakashi. He thanked his lucky stars that He could change the book secretly without anybody noticing.

If Naruto had read the wrong book, he might have been put in an early grave by what Tsunade would have done with him.

To be continued.
