A/N: I would like to thank everyone that added this story to their favourites and follows as well as everyone that reviewed the last chapter. I know that this chapter might be short but the next chapter will be the start of the USJ arc.
Namikaze Keisuke has been called a fool many times since she took in her granddaughter.
If I lose connection with the ACR Poker Client what happens to my hand and my money? How long do I have to reconnect and get back in the hand after I’ve been disconnected? What happens in event of a server interruption on Americas Cardroom? How is Bonus Cash Released? How can I re-size the tables? How can I straddle? What is a Geo Target.
She wasn't dumb. That much Keisuke was certain. Especially since she had been one of the few civilian girls in her family that knew how to read, write and count. How could she raise the demon's child? When the girl took away her child. Those words whispered in the streets of Konoha whenever Keisuke ventured out with Naruto in the streets of Konoha.
The villagers saw those whisker marks and called her sweet Naru-chan, a demon. But Keisuke saw those ruffles of blond hair, resembling the sunshine hair of her deceased husband and his child, and sees Minato and Souta staring back at her. Kushina was there too. She was in Naruto's eyes and face. Both Minato and Kushina had been a good looking couple, so it was just natural that their child would grow to be a looker just like her son feared.
At the age of two, Naruto looked like a little angel and she probably would grow even more beautiful when she reached her teens. Minato had been a good-looking boy and Souta had been so handsome as a teen, always the talk of the village and having so many girls admiring him.
Her husband would probably spoil Naruto rotten if he was here; he always wanted a daughter to spoil.
Tears burned behind her eyes and Keisuke stared at the secret wedding photo of her son with his wife. Light brown eyes flickered to the ground, where Naruto sat on the ground with a crayon on her small chubby hand. Today was her birthday, a day where Keisuke should take her out to enjoy the festival but something nagged in her stomach. Something bad was going to happen today and Keisuke would rather stay at home with Naruto then venture out into a festival, where people might look at her grandchild with hate.
Naruto dropped the crayon, blue eyes focused on her and the little girl pushed herself up from the ground. The little girl's legs wobbled, almost forcing Keisuke to rush to the girl but Naruto puffed her chubby cheeks. Blue eyes flared with determination, reminding her of Kushina and how determined the woman was to impress her.
'Granny, don't be sad!' Naruto tugged on her apron, blue eyes growing wide and hands reaching up to give her a hug. Keisuke smiled, buried her face against the girl's hair and ticked the girl's stomach. Giggles erupted from the little girl, blue eyes twinkling with joy and Keisuke thanked the Hokage for giving her this chance to raise Minato's daughter.
'Silly Naru-chan,' she blew against the girl's stomach. 'Granny won't ever be sad because today is her precious Naru-chan's birthday. Do you know how old you are, today?'
The girl grinned and held out two fingers. 'Naru-chan is two!'
Things would become a concern when Naruto turned four. Keisuke flickered her eyes to the smiling photo of Minato, lips pressed into a thin line and eyebrows knitted together. Just another two more years and then it would be known if Naruto did have a Kekkai Genkai from her father's side of the family.
Keisuke frowned. Minato never inherited the Kekkai Genkai, which was never a big problem in Konoha. Not everyone can activate or inherit their family's Kekkai Genkai. But a person could still be a shinobi as long as they accessed their chakra from a young age…or so her husband explained to his son.
Minato always wanted to inherit his mother's Kekkai Genkai, but Keisuke prayed Naruto never inherited it.
Charmspeak was the Kekkai Genkai of Minato's mother. A strange Kekkai Genkai if Keisuke think about it when she considers the various Kekkai Genkai in Konoha. The power to convince people to follow a certain view? That shuddered her. Politics were not her strong suit, especially shinobi but if the shinobi learn of it then they might just use her precious granddaughter.
Keisuke doesn't want to lose Naruto, not when seeing her draw so many pretty pictures brought a smile to her face. Not when the girl was just so young but already had so many people hating her.
The door to her cabin shook and trembled, alerting Keisuke that people were attempting to get in. She flickered her eyes to Naruto, the blue-eyed girl stared distantly at the door. Her little legs wobbling towards the door, hands reaching to open the door. Fear curled in Keisuke's stomach as her throat became dried. She took a deep breath, grabbed hold of her granddaughter and stride towards her bedroom.
'Granny?' Blue eyes shone with fear and Keisuke plastered a smile. 'Door shaking.'
If your opponent folds at all more frequently, it is right to shove that $400 with any hand that has no reasonable shot to win a showdown.In practice, a $400 all-in river shove is called nowhere near 75 percent of the time in these games. Only at this frequency does bluffing with all of your hands become a break-even proposition. Casino cash game poker strategy.
Keisuke pressed her lips against her grandchild's forehead. 'Granny knows, Naru-chan but Granny wants Naru-chan to stay here until Granny tells you that it is safe.'
'Safe?' Her granddaughter knitted her eyebrow.
Keisuke took a deep breath, hands trembling as the knocks from outside the door became louder and louder to the point that even their neighbors would hear them. 'It means I want to protect you from any bad people that wants to hurt you.'
'Granny come back? Promise?' Naruto looked up at her, blue eyes growing large with fear and it really was amazing to know that the girl was just two. Only two but already understanding what might just happen outside that door. Keisuke nibbled her bottom lip, hands trembling as her eyes flickered to the old kunai belonging to her deceased husband.
She closed her eyes and nodded. 'Granny will come back 'cause she needs to take care of Naru-chan and make sure she becomes a strong little girl like she promised Naru-chan's Mummy and Daddy.'
Keisuke stride towards the door, one hand reaching out to the knob but only to pause and the other hand grabbing the kunai. She swirled her head around, lips wobbling at the sight of the tears streaming down Naruto's eyes. Those tears looked so much like Minato with the snot drooling out of her nose and her loud brawls.
'Granny loves you, Naru-chan.' Tears leaked out of her eyes. 'Don't you ever forget that Granny loves you just as much as your Mummy and Daddy loves you. No matter what happens, I want you to know that you are my precious grandchild. That you are the daughter born from two people, very much in love and heroes of this village.'
She wasn't certain if she was going to come back to this room to reassure her grandchild, but Keisuke wanted her grandchild's last memory of her to be a bright smile on her face.
The child deserved to have happy memories.
Naruto really wished she made up some excuse for not doing the stupid therapist appointment today.

Blue walls surrounded Naruto as her body dropped onto the chair. Pictures of smiling families and several bad drawing that might have been drawn by a couple of kids decorated the walls. Her hands trembled as Naruto plastered a smile on her face. Sitting across her was a young woman, probably a little bit younger than Aizawa-sensei, with light blond hair and sparkling emerald eyes.
Would it be possible to escape from this room? Well the therapist sat close to the window, making it pretty difficult for Naruto to flee without alerting her. Maybe a justu could be used? No, Aizawa-sensei would be alerted from the loud sound. The man was sitting outside the room like he promised her.
'Do you know why you are here?'
Naruto tilted her head, eyebrows scrunched together as the woman regarded her. She shrugged and shook her head, blue eyes avoiding the searching eyes of the woman in front of her. The young woman pressed her lips into a thin line almost looking as if she tasted a bad lemon, but then it faded; replaced by a smile.
'Why don't we start the session with getting to know each other?' The woman leaned forward and tapped the nameplate displayed proudly on the table. 'I am Dr. Hashimoto, but you can call me Yuna. I am twenty-seven this year.'
Naruto regarded her, lips pressed into a wider smile. 'My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I am fifteen.'
The woman regarded her, eyebrows scrunched together as if waiting for Naruto to say something more. The fifteen-year-old flickered her eyes to the walls. Several of the paintings looked gaudy, conflicting with some of the more expensive art works scattered around the office. Green eyes followed her movement.
'What would you like to be called during our sessions? Uzumaki? Naruto? Naruto-san? Naruto-chan? Or…'
'Uzumaki, I guess.' Naruto shrugged.
Yuna nodded. 'How are you, Uzumaki?'

Oh? So they were going to play that game. The therapist leaned forward, green eyes searching her blue eyes as Naruto plastered her goofy smile and closed her eyes. 'Fine. I eat well, sleep well and I have two legs that I can use to walk.'
Yuna's lips twitched, almost a smile but it was almost like the woman was holding herself back from chuckling at the answer. Naruto just shrugged. She leaned against the chair, hands wrapping either side of her head and blue eyes looking everywhere but the green eyes of the therapist. This whole session was stupid. She didn't have trust issues or else she would have never told Aizawa-sensei about what she did.
The woman hummed. 'It is a good thing you are physically well, but I am not talking about your physical health.'
Yuna pointed to Naruto's chest, in the location where the heart should be. Blue eyes blew up like balloons at the question but the blue-eyed girl tightened her smile. Who cared about emotional pain? There might be a constant ache in her heart but not enough to complain about. It was just there, always in the background like those annoying songs playing in the radio that Naruto could never get out of her head.
'I think my heart is fine,' she flashed a bigger smile. 'My heart rate is normal.'
Yuno sighed. 'I am talking about your emotions, Naruto-san.'
Naruto blinked. The smile playing on her lips faltered but then it grew even larger, stretched so thin that her face almost felt like it might crack into tiny pieces. Yuna pressed her lips into a thin line, pulled out the notebook from the drawer and scribbled down some notes. Naruto leaned forward, blue eyes darting to catch a glimpse of the notes but the woman brought it close to her chest.
She sighed. 'Look if I don't want to talk then can I just leave? You can make some bullshit story to Aizawa-sensei about how I opened my heart to you and all that stuff.'
'That would be lying,' Yuna paused. 'But we can do something else if you don't want to talk.'
Naruto poked her tongue against her cheek, blue eyes darting around to find something to do. Anything would be better than spilling her guts to some woman that doesn't care about her. Her lips curled into a grin at the sight of the familiar pack of cards lying around on the table.
'How about poker?'
Yuna blinked. 'You know how to play?'
'A little,' Naruto shrugged as the woman regarded her for a good couple of seconds before bringing out the cards to play. If she was going to be stuck here for one hour then a game of poker seemed good. Probably breaking the rules Ero-Sennin taught her but the man never followed his own rules. She smiled at the woman.
They spent thirty minutes playing the game with Naruto smiling like an idiot, even though her cards were crap. Poker was fun. Allowed her to observe the therapist like how the woman constantly brightened whenever she had a good set of cards in her hands. Poker was probably the easiest game. Even if luck was not on her side then act like a fool to make your opponent think they win.
'Okay, I fold!' Yuna dropped her cards, revealing her cards for the whole world to see. Naruto grinned, dropped her cards and crackled when the woman's eyes grew wide at the sight of the bad set of cards in the teen's hands. Naruto tilted her head when the woman observed her, eyebrows knitted together as if Naruto was an anomaly.
'This isn't the second time you played this game, is it?' The woman observed. 'You made me believe that you had a good set of cards, just now. You kept smiling even though your cards were bad; it isn't easy to hide your emotions.'
Naruto shrugged. 'Poker is a game of luck and observation.'
How Tsunade could constantly keep losing was a mystery. No matter how bad a person's luck was, the poker face should be enough to fool people into thinking that you are good. Naruto raised her eyebrow as Yuna scribbled down a couple of notes, her green eyes never leaving Naruto's eyes.
'You are an observant child, aren't you?' Yuna observed. 'Even though you smile like a fool and give off an appearance that you aren't that bright, you are actually more intelligent then people give you credit for.'
Naruto regarded the woman, blue eyes turning completely emotionless as Yuna leaned forward. Her hands clasped together, her head balancing on top of her hands as her green eyes sparkled like she had a breakthrough. Just from knowing her poker style, the woman seemed to deduce this much about her and only one other person deduced her intelligence that quickly. Naruto frowned.
She shrugged. 'Isn't there some saying about not judging a book by its cover? People want to see what they want to see.'
'You are a monster.'
She clenched and unclenched her hands.
'You? Hokage? Like an idiot like you can become Hokage.'
Her hands trembled but Naruto took a deep breath and plastered a tight smile. Yuna put down her pen, lips pressed into a thin line and regarded her with concern eyes. Oh god. She walked right into a trap, didn't she? Naruto's smile stretched even thinner as the woman tilted her head.
'Not many teenagers would jump to your conclusion,' Yuna stated. 'Would you say you have to be on guard your entire life?'
'You're a liar.'
'You are not smart enough to get this score.'
Her head throbbed as more and more voices swirled around her head, echoing and chanting things like a broken radio recorder. She balled her hands into a tight fist, nails digging into her palm till blood soaked out of her palm.
She relaxed her hands and shrugged. 'I don't know.'
The woman pressed her lips into a thin line, green eyes searching her before nodding her head. 'Then tell me something that you do know.'
Naruto regarded the woman. Blue eyes searched those green eyes and her head began to throb like it always did whenever she stared at someone with green eyes. She took a deep breath, pressed her lips and released it in slow puffs. Right, Aizawa-sensei asked her to take this a little bit seriously and the man was standing outside, so the woman might tell him that she refused to cooperate.
Green eyes stared at her with concern.
'I hate my birthday.'
Yuna frowned. 'Why?'
'Because Granny abandoned us on our birthday. She broke her promise to us.' Naruto blinked and swirled her head around as a pair of loving green eyes flashed before her eyes. Who was that voice? It sounded like her but younger, so much younger than her fifteen-year-old self. Who was Granny? And why was her heart hurting so badly? The ache in her heart intensified to the point that her hands reached out to clutch her chest. She grinded her teeth, dug her nails against her palm and allowed the blood to soak her fingers.
She took a deep breath. 'I think my one hour is up.'
The Kyuubi had always been the reason she hated her birthday, but maybe there was another reason for her hatred towards her birthday. It was just buried under the chest of memories that Naruto never wanted to open up.
