the last student The Child Arc

chapter 38

*it was a rainy day in Konoha, the perfect excuse to stay inside and read a book or watch TV. But we all know that Naruto isn't letting a bit of rain stop him, so there he is, jumping on puddles, with much to his mother's horror, a monkey-themed raincoat While she had a beach umbrella to protect her from the rain, anko was having not so nice thoughts about Naruto's grandpa and his little surprise gift, aka the monkey themed raincoat.*

Anko: "Stupid ass hiruzen, oh. He's gonna pay. I swear to Kami, that he's gonna pay. I'm gonna make Naruto visit him with a snake-themed something to show him!"

Naruto: Whoa! Mom, did you see that!? That splash was so big!!

*Naruto said excitedly, jumping up and down on the same puddle, while his mother stayed a safe distance away, so she wouldn't get dirty. She just cleaned their clothes yesterday, she's not looking to get them dirty so soon, at the very least her clothes dirty that soon. Anko smiled at her son as she nodded at him, so he knew that she was listening to him and was not dismissing his words. Even if she was a little.*

Anko: I saw that baby! Just make sure not to ruin your raincoat. Wait. What am I saying? Hey baby! I see a very big and muddy puddle over there!

*anko said as her smile turned evil, thinking of how ruined the stupid monkey raincoat would be. And before you judge her, yes, she knows she's acting silly, but to be fair...... shut up. Snakes are better than monkeys in Anko's very correct and very biased opinion. Naruto looked where his mother was pointing and gasped before running towards the puddle and jumping on it as hard as possible, making mud and water spill all around. Anko took a few steps back before any of the filth touched her, but her son was smiling so brightly that she almost thought that the rain had stopped.*

Naruto: Did you see that?!

Anko: I did. It was a big one.

*anko said calmly as they continued to walk around their district in Konoha, with Naruto walking around and jumping on whatever puddle he saw. After a few jumps, Naruto gasped as he thought of something, if he loves to jump on the puddles, then surely his mom would love to do the same, and here he was jumping on all of them. He turned around and smiled excitedly at his mother. While anko couldn't help but let an unintentional chuckle escape her throat, since she knew that look, her son was giving her.*

Naruto: You do one, Mama!

Anko: Oh, honey, I don't think that's a good idea. I'm not dressed for it. If I jump on one, I'll get sick

*Anko said with a nod, even if it was a bit of a lie. One of the few things she could be....not grateful per se, but a benefit of being that snake's lab rat was that one of his tests made her build up just a ridiculously strong immune system. She just didn't want to feel the mud and water hit her pants since this was one of the few times. She wore long pants, and she wanted them to stay nice. Naruto nodded, instantly accepting that answer. He turned around to jump, and he did, but then noticed something while he was mid-jump, or more specifically, he noticed someone.*

Naruto: ok! Hey! That's my friend over there!

Anko: Huh? Naruto, who is that girl? I've never seen you play with her.

*Anko said, looking where Naruto was looking with such excitement. There in one of the park's gazebos was a little girl around Naruto's age painting. The girl had long brown hair and light brown eyes. Her hair is straight on one side, and the other side of her hair is styled into a braid. In addition, she sports a clip with two circular designs. For her outfit, she wore a pink robe held closed by a pink sash with two pockets on the front. One thing was for sure, Anko had never seen her around her little Naruto. Naruto looked at his mother excitedly.*
