the last student The Child Arc

chapter 17

Last time

* She walked to the door and opened it, seeing a neutral looking itachi, and a nervous izumi. Anko crossed her arms as she looked at the two Uchiha *

Anko" Well, this should be good."

Now

*it was nighttime in konoha, we see anko on the top bunk of their bunkbeds with Naruto. She was reading her boy a bedtime story*

Anko: On the clearest of nights, when the winds of the Etherium were calm and peaceful, the great merchant ships with their cargoes of precious gems, forbidden jutsu, and so many other valuable things, felt safe and secure. Little did they suspect that they were pursued by Pirates. And the most feared of all these pirates was the notorious Captain Nathaniel Flint.

*anko said, In her hands were small cheap plushies that she's using to tell the story. The pirate plushie bonks the merchant in the head with a stick, making Naruto giggle*

Anko: And like a Candarian zap-wing overtaking its prey. Flint and his band of renegades swooped in out of nowhere.  And then, gathering up their spoils, vanished without a trace.

*anko said, as the pirate plushie grabbed the small box of treasure and runaway. Anko put another eyepatch on the merchant plushie, making it a part of Flint's crew *

Naruto: Where did he take all that treasure?

Anko: Flint's secret trove was never found, but stories have persisted that it remains hidden, somewhere at the farthest reaches of the elemental nations, stowed with riches beyond imagination, the loot of a thousand villages. Flint called it his planet. His Treasure Planet.

*anko said as she kissed Naruto's forehead and put the plushies next to the 100 ryo plushie that still hurt her snake skinned wallet to see. Naruto looked at his mother with tired eyes as he spoke with a yawn*

Naruto: Do you think someone will ever find his treasure?

Anko: Sweetheart. I think it's more like a legend, a really old one. Since I remember my mother telling me that her grandmother told her this story. So it's really old

*anko said, with a small humm at the end, thinking of her family. Both parents died being shinobi, but she wonders how they must look at her now, with a child of her own, to love and to cherish. Naruto's brain already started to think on a little adventure for him and his friends*

Naruto: Then I'll be the first to find it. It has to be here in konoha

Anko: Maybe. Who knows? Their places in this village that even the anbu don't dare to go

*anko said with a hum, she's not really worried of Naruto going do those types of places. Naruto is adventurous, not reckless, so he would never go to a place his mother said no. Anko gave Naruto one final look before she went to the lower bunk and got under the covers*

Naruto: Goodnight, Mommy. I love you

Anko: I love you too, Naruto. With all my heart.

*anko said with a yawn, as she went to sleep. In those final moments, before she goes into the world of dreams, her mind makes her think, of when the Uchiha visited *

Flashback

*anko watched the two of them. Waiting for one of them to speak first, but when they didn't. Anko spoke first since she has things to do, and she would like to keep doing said things before it becomes nightfall. So, to save everyone some time. Anko spoke up the first word, before they stayed their till nightfall*

Anko: Yes?

Itachi: Before anything. I told her not to do this. She wouldn't listen

*itachi said before izumi could speak. Izumi shot him a quick glare before giving anko a nervous smile. Anko stood there with one eyebrow raised, waiting for whatever it was that this girl wanted from her*
