That shit was hanging on with tape, books that I bought but never read (it was a phase), and hope, that it could withstand my 231 pounds plus 2 heavy-duty fans on top of it. So once again, thank you to my patreon members. Without them, I wouldn't be able to have the money to replace it. So, as a thank you, y'all get an extra chapter this week
Chapter 36: Just the nature of things
*it was anko's day off, it was a beautiful sunny day in konoha, the perfect day for extroverts like Naruto to be out on a adventure and for introverts like shikamaru to stay inside and sleep in till noon. And that's just what we see. We see little Naruto on his next adventure. Since just like she promised she would, she took her little sunshine to the lake to spend the day together. She took him to the lake to show him how to fish. It was amusing for anko to see Naruto so concentrated on his pole. Since he wanted to catch a big fish. Anko placed the latest fish she caught on her bucket of water to kill later. When her son finally spoke, as he always does, the little boy had a question to ask, as his mind was forever wandering.*
Naruto: mom. What are gonna do with these fishes? We can't eat this many.
Anko: For some, We'll eat them. For others, we'll gut them and clean them. And then put them in our freezer. There's enough meat to last us a few days. Why? Is something wrong?
*anko said, looking at her son, who wasn't looking at her. He was looking down at the bucket where multiple fishes were swimming around. They looked crammed inside the bucket. It didn't seem right for Naruto that they looked so uncomfortable. But he was too young to understand why he was caring for the fish. And like any child, with what they don't understand, he asks questions.*
Naruto: Well. Don't fishes have families? Aren't we being mean if we kill them and leave them without a mommy or a daddy?
Anko: No. Since that's not how they operate. At least not these fishes. These fishes eat their own babies.
*Anko said with a shrug. But she still gave a crooked smile to her son, the boy was so curious, even after answer his question, anko could see that her little baby snake, and again I say, little baby snake not little monkey no matter what that senile old man may say, her son is a snake not a monkey. Ejem. Anko could see that Naruto had another question locked and loaded right after the next one.*
Naruto: they do? Why?
Anko: it's just in their nature. But what you asked is the perfect Segway for a moral story. This is the story of the sheep and their Anatolian Shepard dog protector.
*Anko said, remembering an old story she heard in passing long ago, before she just thought it was a tale for children, to be entertained, now that she's a mother. She could see that it was more than a story. It was a lesson. A lesson that she's gonna teach her son right now. Naruto, being the innocent child that he is, looked at her mother with wonder behind his eyes. That just made anko so happy that the little event with kurenai must've been forgotten by him.*
