"It is a peaceful day again in Gotham; I hope we don't have trouble like other cities." A young girl of sixteen muttered in a happy tone as she sat in the café of Gotham University with her best friend. She had long purplish hair, violet eyes and she had looks that attracted attention and adoration

"Yeah, you are lucky that you weren't here when this place was a cesspool of crime. I still wonder how it happened, everything just became so right, and the criminals are so scared that they don't even enter the city anymore." A red haired girl at the age of nineteen said in a curious tone, she was Barbara Gordon also known as Batgirl

"I am happy that way, I dislike ugly things." Himawari Uzumaki the only child of the Seventh Hokage spoke in a calm manner as she took a sip from her cup of tea

"I am also happy but you should probable get that fixed, your obsessiveness with cleanliness can be really troublesome." Barbara commented as Hima was really over the top with it and reacted with extreme dislike when she was touched by someone or something she presumed dirty or ugly

"I am trying so you don't have to worry, let's not talk about that."

"How are your classes going?" Hima changed the subject and asked as she looked at her friend but just like always she also concentrated on all around her as her father wanted

"Too easy, if some of them didn't require attendance I had probably skipped and we could hang out more." Barbara said in a friendly tone

"What about you?"

"Have you found someone interesting now?" Barbara asked curiously as she had been friends with Hima for 6 months at least and she had never seen the girl show interest in guys or most people

"No one, I do not wish to make father feel lonely. So I don't feel any desire to find someone."

"What about your relationship?" Hima replied and asked in a calm tone as she thought of her father who was obsessed with her well being and was probably keeping watch on her even now

"It ended on a bad note, the asshole cheated on me with some alien." Barbara replied in a controlled tone as she felt anger remembering the scene of Nightwing with Starfire

"Relax and forget. You will find someone better. Do you want to come by my place today?"

"We have known each other for long but I have never invited you in, it makes me feel ungrateful so do you want to?" Hima enquired as she smiled at Barbara

"Of course, I would love to. Though I really I never thought I would go to the worst place in Gotham before but now it is the cleanest and the greenest part of the city. Your father spends a lot helping the neighborhood or is it because his little princess doesn't like to see dirt." Barbara teased

"Nothing like that, father just likes to help." Hima smiled proudly at the mention of her father, just like her father was obsessed with her she was as well though she would deny such charges

"Uzumaki Naruto, The strongest man in the world and the Martial King, having beaten the champions of the world you gained such titles and more but for what reason was it truly to just advertise your dojo." Amanda Walker entered the dojo and spoke as she saw Naruto sitting in the center in a meditative pose

"How can I help you, Amanda?" Naruto asked in an indifferent tone without opening his eyes

"No answer I suppose only theories about your motive can be made, personally I believe it was to make your daughter proud isn't it."

"The apple of your eyes and what not." Amanda said with a chuckle

"I have asked for your service for long but you continue to decline so I have come for an easy request, train my team. 2 or 3 sessions a week and I will pay you thrice the amount in advance for each month." Amanda offered, she knew the man was very difficult to talk to as he cared not for anything and was living a fulfilling life

"If it means getting rid of your annoying attempts, I accept. Tell them my conditions and if they are injured or anything, it is not responsibility and I do not take kind to anyone who doesn't follow the rules." Naruto said as he got up, his chest was dripping with sweat along with his head

"They will be like loyal puppies so don't worry, I am happy if they even learnt something from you."

"And it is good doing business with you; I hope your daughter is always the happy princess." Amanda said with a smile as she caught the card, on it were the days written for the appointments to his dojo and the contact information

She didn't need it but it was courtesy, Amanda had one look at the widowed man and left as she wondered how such a human was born.

'Both his parents were villagers in a farming village in Japan; he lived most of his time there and decided to move once his wife died. How did he become so strong, the information gathered said he was always physically strong and his muscle mass is abnormal.' Amanda mused as she sat inside her car and drove away

Once again in the café known as Spiral, on the Uzumaki district named after Naruto's name after his generous service to the city, a recurring customer visited but unlike others she was special.

Nora fields the woman of the past that had been frozen in time because of her sickness, who had been brought back to life three years ago when the day of Miracles took place. She had been given a place in Wayne Enterprises as she was stored their previously and had a good life for the upcoming years, when she stumbled upon the café a month ago. She felt warm and safe like never before she thought she knew this feeling from somewhere but she couldn't place the memory.

Her eyes were always attracted to the man, the owner known as Naruto Uzumaki, as he worked here on some days. He had said he enjoyed cooking so he cooked in this small café and not at his restaurants.

'How I would love to see him cook for me, just for me?'

'Why does this man attract me so?'

'Is it his smile or is it his looks or his personality?'

'He has a daughter already would he ever accept me?'

'I will never if I don't try, I have almost died before so I shouldn't hesitate.' Nora concluded as she stared at the man making coffee and got up from her seat with a confident look

"Another woman charmed by Mr. Uzumaki"

"She is going to be shot like the others."

"Yeah, she ain't special. Just a daintily little thing, Mr. Uzumaki needs a real woman not a wall flower." Nora was not the only one who had tried, Naruto was well known in the hood and his personality along with his looks and status attracted others to him but all had been shot down to becoming friends

These words were loud enough for her to hear which caused the tension to increase and she was hesitating when she saw him smile gently at her, this reinvigorated her spirit.

"Excuse me"

"Yes, how may I help you?" Naruto asked gently, the background noise he had heard and knew what she wanted but he didn't push

"I love you, would you go out with me with the intention of marriage." Nora blurted out quickly so that she won't hesitate

That was a first as the others had asked for marriage or girlfriend but both mixed in one now but just like every other woman or girl, Naruto didn't feel any interest in them and he replied, "Sorry, I am not interested in such relations but I would be happy to be your friend."
