What would you do if we gave you permission to sign our contract? Would you use us simply for our power? To gain respect and make people fear you?" Sheba asked as if testing him.
Naruto quickly shook his head. "No that would not be the reason." He said as Sheba and Kiara listened in. "If I got the chance to sign your contract then I would be eternally grateful. With your power I would use it to help protect my home, my village, my friends and my family."
"I would use your power to fight the evil and the darkness of this world and keep it at bay while keeping everything I hold dear safe and protected. That is what I would do if you allowed me to sign your contract."
Sheba said nothing as she stared down at Naruto as she listen contemplated his words in her head. Beside Naruto, Kiara beamed up at him and was rubbing her body against his leg while purring happily, showing her like to the words that he had just spoken.
After a moment Sheba looked down towards Kiara and gave her a small nod which made the little cub bounce in happiness before she placed her paw on the ground and another poof went out, though this time was only a tiny one.
Out of the smoke was a large scroll, about the size of the one Jiraiya carried on his back for the Toads. It was grey in color and on each end had a silver tiger heads while the Kanji's for White Tiger was written on the side.
"Open it up." Sheba said to Naruto who quick nodded and did so. He opened up the scroll to show long empty columns, once again proving that they really had never had any summoners before.
'Cool.' He thought as he went down to his knees and look the scroll over as Kiara sat beside him and Sheba looked over him.
"How do I do this?" he asked looking up at the Tiger boss.
"Bite your finger and write your name in one of the columns with your blood. Once your name has been applied to the scroll, the contract will be complete."
'Sounds easy enough.' He thought before he took his right thumb and bit into the skin. He saw a tiny bit of blood flow out of the wounds and quickly began to write his name into the scroll. After a few moments he took his hand away and looks at the scroll that now had his name written in the first column.
"And that's it." Sheba said as the name glowed for a moment before it turned black, now permanently becoming part of the scroll. "You are now officially the first summoner of the White Tiger Summons. Don't disappoint us." She warned as Naruto quickly nodded though he had a big smile plastered on his face.
As she quickly told him the hand signs for the summoning jutsu and Naruto familiarized himself with the set Sheba looked to Kiara. "Kiara, since this was your idea, you will be the boys familiar." Kiara happily nodded before she jumped up and climbed on Naruto until she sat comfortably on his head while an amused Naruto looked up at her.
Sheba coughed getting their attention back to her. "If that will be all then I shall return home. I want you home before sunset Kiara." She said as her little cub nodded at her mother before Sheba disappeared in a large puff of smoke leaving behind a very happy Naruto and Kiara as the two began to get to know one another a little better.
Namikaze Household
Kushina swept the floor with her broom as she kept looking towards the front door of her house wondering when her eldest was going to step through it. Since the big reveal of how they had been pushing their eldest away despite doing so unknowingly, Kushina had tried to bring her eldest back to them but it was proving to be more of a challenge then both thought and deep down Kushina's heart was cracking. 'It's nothing more then I deserve though. We did this and we can't expect to have forgive us so quickly. Five years he had to suffer because of our stupidity.' She thought. She rarely saw him at meal time since he either had it with Anko, or around at the Senju compound with Tsunade or at the Sarutobi manor.
After she finished sweeping, Mina and Eiji came down the stairs with Eiji chasing Mina with a pillow while Mina squealed in mock horror. She knew Mito was at the Yamanaka's house at the moment having a girly afternoon with Inora's daughter Ino.
Kushina chuckled at her two children antics and put the broom away before she went to one of the cabinets in the hallway. She began looking through it in order to give it a quick tidy up but saw four photo albums at the back. Three were quite clean and had obviously been used recently but her gaze was fixed on the one at the bottom.
She pulled it out and blew on it, removing some of the dust that was on the top of it. It was a little smaller than the other three but was very fancy looking with a grey cover and gold leaf designs around it. On front she read what it said and was surprised at what she saw.
Naruto's Baby Book 'I forgot all about this.' She thought to herself before she stood up, went into the living room and sat on the largest sofa as she brought her legs up onto the couch and placed the photo book on her lap.
She opened up the first page and immediately felt her eyes water. The first picture was the ultrasound of when she was still pregnant with Naruto and was about six months into her first pregnancy. The photo was a little torn around the edges but other than that it was fine.
