Hi Guys,

It's been awhile. Again, sorry for the long wait.

Enjoy! Reviews are always welcome :)

CHAPTER 8

It was a beautiful day even though the sky has been crying since early morning, and the sun was hiding its beautiful smile from the world.

Incidentally it suits the mood that has been surrounding the Uchiha compound since last night. Because of our favorite ball of sunshine was down with fever for the first time, since Naruto has never ever been sick because of Kyuubi's strong immune system that practically kill every type of diseases and her chakra also helps to increase Naruto's stamina. Therefore, yesterday when Naruto complained about his tummy ache and his red eyes that felt like burning, Fugaku immediately called the best doctor in Konoha, Tsunade which incidentally also Naruto's self proclaimed Godmother.

She came straight ahead through the wall, literally, leafing a gaping hole behind which by this point is a normal occurrence in Uchiha Compound. The amount of money they spend on repair and renovation annually is enough to feed the whole Konoha for a month. It's amazing in itself how they are still able to survive, then again Fugaku spend 80% of his working hour working the budget and using Naruto's luck as his secret weapon *cough*gambling*cough*lottery*cough*.

Once Tsunade saw Naruto's condition, her face was filled with worries and she straight away commanded everyone to left her alone to tend Naruto.

After an hour she came out looking grim with wrinkles between her eyebrows.

"Tsunade, how's Naruto's condition? Is he all right? Will he recover? Please tell me he's safe now!" Fugaku began to panic.

"Fugaku, calm down. He's fine now. The fever have went down but I'm still couldn't find out why he was sick. The only thing that I know his chakra was in a mess right now."

"So will he be okay? Or he's still in danger?" Mikoto asked, concerned about his son's safety.

"He will be fine for now, I have checked Kyuubi's chakra movement and everything seems fine. It's just a normal fever. It seems even with Kyuubi's powerness he can still get sick even if very rare." Tsunade sighed, her face looked older for a moment.

"Let's go, let him have a rest. He wouldn't wake up until tomorrow morning."

Reluctantly, everyone went back to his or her own room to rest. Suddenly, they can feel the whole day's event hitting them at once and exhaustion kicking in.

"Fugaku, dear, let's go back" Mikoto tried pulling Fugaku away from Naruto's room.

"No, I think, I'll stay here tonight, you go." Fugaku responded, still sitting beside Naruto's futon.

"Sigh… Okay, just… Don't stress yourself out and get some rest. Naruto would not like it if you get sick."

"I will, don't worry. Good night." Fugaku said with a tired smile and Mikoto reluctantly left him for the night.

The Next Day

Fugaku wake up, feeling like he was crushed by a boulder and have difficulties in breathing.

He opened his eyes, and saw that during the course of the night, both he and Naruto have been moving around and Naruto ended up cuddling on top of him. Naruto was sleeping peacefully; his face was relaxed and painless. Fugaku went to check his temperature and sighed in relief that it has gone back to normal.

He smiled. "I'm glad that you're back to normal. Don't scare us again." Fugaku settles into a more comfortable positions, hugging Naruto and went back to sleep. This time, without worry, dreaming of blonde and brunette angels running around out in the sunflower fields.

EXTRA – Uchiha's side income

It was a beautiful day and Fugaku was sitting on his desk, cracking his head with Sharingan spinning, trying to find any fault in the budget.

"Argh! This is impossible! How come we spend so much money on renovation?!" he shouted and slammed his hand on his desk.

"Well… Remember, two weeks ago, there was an accident when Jiraiya came over, was caught peeking on the female onsen and got beaten up then completely destroyed the female onsen?" one of the counselor responded.

"And last week, we held an impromptu Ramen party to celebrate Naruto's first D-rank mission." Another counselor piped in.

"Then, yesterday Naruto brought Kiba to came over for training together and then they accidentally set the dojo on fire."

"Or that time…"

"STOP! OKAY, I got your points! We have been spending money unnecessarily and it needs to stop now! Or we will be homeless soon!" Fugaku shouted over the chattering.

"We need to find other source of income." Fugaku sighed.

"How about gambling? Or Lottery?" Shishui chimed in.

"No, we have our pride as Uchiha, we will not be doing such plebeians things." Or that's what Fugaku would like to say but since they need money urgently and he decided to follow Shishui's crazy ideas and giving it a try.

So that is how he found himself going to buy lottery together with Naruto.

"Daddy, where are we going? Are we going to play?" Naruto asked.

"No, I need to go to work to earn money" Fugaku responded while eying the rows of lottery shops.

"Work? Here? But, there are only shops here?"

"Yes, here. Okay, you need to wait here for a while. I need to choose some tickets."

"Oooh, what does it do? Can I have one too? Pretty please? Please! Please! Please!" Naruto begged with his big sparkly eyes and pouty lips.

"Ugh!" "No, stop that, you are too young to play this." Fugaku averted his eyes and refused to back down.

"Please Daddy! Please!" Naruto continued begging with tears glistening on the corner of his eyes.

"Gah!" "Fine! Fine! Just stop that, you know I can't stand that." Fugaku finally gave up.

"Choose one then."

"Thank you Daddy!" "I want this one." "What am I supposed to do with it?"

"You are supposed to scratch it and see if you win anything."

"Okay!" "Scratch…. Scratch…"

"..…..."

"..…."

"Sigh, what am I doing. I should have known that this is useless and waste of money." Fugaku sighed while staring at his blank lottery tickets.

"Daddy, daddy, what does this said? There's lots of zeros…"

"Huh… come let me see."

"…..."

"…..…."

"So what does it means?"

"This! Impossible! Naruto, you won first place!" Fugaku exclaimed excitedly.

"I did? Yaay! Does that means we can buy Ramen now?"

"Yes, yes, you can eat as much Ramen as you want. I'll buy it for you." Fugaku was so happy, he spinned Naruto around while a crowd of people stopped and stared at them.

Noticing the attention they received, Fugaku straighten up and were about to go, but as they passed another shop, Fugaku decided to try again.

"Naru-chan, let's try buying another tickets. Choose one from here."

Again, Naruto did the same thing and lo and behold, he got another first place. Fugaku was staring at the lottery ticket in disbelieve.

"…. Naru-chan, we need to this once a month. The God of Luck is shining over you." Fugaku said with wonder in his tone.

"Sure, if we can get ramen after." Naruto said innocently, not understanding the implication of the situation.

And that is the story, how the Uchiha found an additional income through Naruto's luck. Therefore avoiding becoming bankrupt.
