"How much more time do you believe it will take until I'm back to 100%?" Naruto did not react to the fingers that were now stroking his scalp. Ni released a pleased hum as she continued her actions while swaying her lower body from side to side like a small child.

"Tomorrow at the least, the end of the week at the most. I believe you will be fine by the time of the Gokage meeting."

The curly haired Uzumaki member tugged lightly on Naruto's spikey locks as she tried to get his attention. The blond teen rotated his head enough to see what the girl wanted. Ni made several noises as she gestured with her hand.

"Do as you please. I do not care." Naruto closed his eyes and returned to his previous position as Ni released what he assumed to be a pleased hum. The mute woman began to lather her hands together with Shampoo before running them through his hair.

"Have you been able to locate the source of the problem Kurama?"

The Kyuubi was silent for several moments as Naruto waited patiently for a response. Several moments passed by in silence before Kurama responded.

"Your body has not grown fully accustomed to the influx of power that you've attained in such a short amount of time. Pulling that stunt did not help either but I don't necessarily disagree with it either."

Naruto scoffed quietly as he responded. "Of course, you don't. Your appetite for destruction is one that will never be quenched." Kurama released a dark chuckle before responding to his host.

"You know me so well."

Naruto did not respond to his Bijuu and remained silent. He allowed himself to drift away as Ni continued to fulfill the duties that her Queen had tasked her with.

The next few days were going to be extremely tiring...

He just wanted everything to be over with.

--------------------------

Ni hummed quietly to herself as she skipped down the long hallway of the Palace that led to her King's room. Her curly hair bounced with every step as she closed the distance. The Queen had been very adamant about Naruto being confined to his quarters.

Ni was just happy she got to spend more time with her King. He was always so nice. Even when she messed up certain orders or got lost in her train of thought, he was always so patient.

The woman's lilac pupils glanced around the area as she came to a stop just outside her King's personal quarters. She bounced on the balls of her heels before placing her hand on the door and pulsing her Chakra. Several Kanji appeared on the door before flashing brightly. The door opened with a quiet click as Ni immediately made her way into the room.

The short woman danced her way around the room as she made her way towards Naruto's position. She proceeded to lightly shake Naruto to wake him from his slumber. She frowned slightly when the boy began to smack her hands away.

A small pout formed on the woman's face before she began to shake him with more vigor. The response was the same with Naruto smacking the girl's hand away. He proceeded to roll over away from the girl while pulling the blankets closer to his body.

A small noise of dissatisfaction exited Ni's throat as she began to tug on the blankets. She tried several times to no avail and proceeded to pout. The girl narrowed her eyes before climbing onto the teen's bed. A small smile crept onto her face as she bent her knees before jumping in the air. The small girl was airborne for all but two seconds before gravity began to take over.
