Weeks later

*Naruto is a child. He is a happy child, he's a curious child, he's even an adventurous child, but he's not a perfect child. We see him squirming as he cries, with anko looking down at him with her arms crossed*

Anko: What happened here?

Naruto: I'm really sorry

*Naruto said crying, anko didn't show any emotion on her face, as she kneeled down to Naruto's eye level, putting her hand on his shoulder*

Anko: You ordered this in the mail?

Naruto: I'm really sorry!

*Naruto said, crying even heavier, with big fat ugly tears falling down his face. But anko remained neutral. She didn't show any sort of emotion as she spoke  again*

Anko: Without asking me?

Naruto: I'm really sorry!!

*Naruto said, crying his eyes out. He closed his eyes tightly as he started to hiccup while he cried. Anko kept her neutral tone, not showing if she was angry, disappointed, or anything. Even if she did, Naruto was too young to know it.

Anko: Do you know how much this was?

*Anko asked, but Naruto couldn't answer. His crying and the hiccups got so bad that he started making throwing up sounds*

Anko: Don't throw up, oh my lord, ok

*Anko said as she hugged Naruto and stood up, holding Naruto on her chest.  Naruto put one of his tiny arms around anko's neck while anko rubbed his back, making Naruto cough a little to get the hiccups out*

Naruto: Will you ever forgive me?

Anko: I'll always forgive you. Always. But this was 100 ryo. And you ordered it under my name without asking?

*Anko asked with a sigh, smiling a little since at least Naruto was truthful and didn't try to hide it. He looked at her with guilt ridden eyes, as he spoke again*

Naruto: I'm really sorry...

Anko: Ok. Well, it's not like we can return it now anyway. But Naruto, you are still grounded for a month for doing this. Do you understand?

*Anko asked and saw Naruto nodding. He couldn't speak anymore with how shaky his breath had gotten. Anko sighed and walked to their table, putting Naruto on one of the seats*

Anko: I'll get dinner started. You sit here

*Anko said, and again Naruto only nodded. He didn't even look at her. Anko frowned a little. She went back to the thing that Naruto bought without permission and grabbed it. He bought a custom made, plushie of a monkey with a snake wrapped around it in an embrace.*

Anko " at least it's high quality, but man. That was part of the rent money, i'm gonna have to hide from the landlady till I get paid again. "

*Anko thought as she walked to Naruto and kneeled down next to him. She placed the plushy in front of her and spoke in a high-pitched voice, as if the plushy was speaking*

Anko/Plushie: Hi, little buddy. You still haven't given me a name

Naruto: y.. your name is kaa

*Naruto said with a sniffle. Anko gave Naruto his new plushie and kissed his forehead before going to the kitchen to get started with their dinner. Naruto hugged the plushy tightly as he waited and just sat there*

Meanwhile, in the capital

*It was a regular occurrence to see the uzumaki family out and about in the merchant's market. We see kushina, Mito, narumi, and Karin all shopping, with jiraiya behind them, as a good little mule boy, carrying everyone's stuff. Mito gasped as she dashed to a stand*
