the last student The Child Arc

chapter 39

End of the day

*The sun was setting giving the sky a beautiful dark orange color for Konoha to see, the two guards in front of the gates of Konoha Izumo and Kotetsu were sleeping since nobody would be coming around this time, that's when they woke up by a huge earthquake around them.*

Izumo: What's going on and invasion?!

Kotetsu: How am I supposed to know?! Go warn the Hokage. I'll hold them down and...

*their conversation was interrupted when a huge snake came out of the ground and slithered to the entrance, Izumo who was deathly afraid of snakes lost all the color on his body, while hot steam was coming out of his pants, aka he pissed himself. The mouth of the snake opened, making Izumo pass out while Kotetsu sighed, seeing who it was inside the mouth of the snake.*

Boiuna: HISSSS!!!

Anko: Yeah, yeah, you're not a form of transportation and blah, blah, blah. Hurry up and go back to the world of the snakes

*anko said dismissively since she knew Boiuna couldn't do anything to her. Boiuna hissed again, even angrier, but disappeared into a cloud of smoke. Anko ignored the shocked look at the guards,  and walked inside the village, holding Naruto in her arms, as he kept talking about how awesome and cool that was. You might be wondering what happened to Anko to use Boiuna's Fast Travel again. Well.*

Flashback

Yakumo: I can't. Father tells me that I can't do it without his permission

Naruto: Oh. Ok then! But that's still so cool! Hey, look at my drawings! They are nowhere near as good as yours, but they're still very good

*Naruto said as he tried to grab his drawing book, but Anko raised her hand, putting them out of Naruto's reach. More specifically, out of the reach of Naruto's dirty hands. Naruto gave his mother a curious look while Anko gave him a small smile at the boy. She kneeled to one knee to be at eye level with him since ruining the raincoat was one thing. That thing was ugly, but ruining the drawing book was another matter entirely, especially since it was a snake-kin-bound book. So Anko was gonna make sure it's well taken care of.*

Anko: Hold on, Naruto. First, take off the muddy raincoat, and then use this water bottle to clean your arms and hands. And finally?

*anko started but didn't finish her sentence so that Naruto could figure it out on her own. Naruto scrunched up his face, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes in thought over what he needed to do to make her mom happy. After a bit, she figured it out, opening her eyes and showing the world his bright smile, which made Yakumo feel like it stopped raining for a second.*

Naruto: Then... I dry my arms with a hand towel.

Anko: Very good. Go on. Do that in the corner over there. While I talk to your little friend for a second.

*anko said as she turned around and did her superpower again, much to the children's amusement and wonder. She turned back around, handing Naruto a bottle of water to clean himself and a hand towel to dry himself. Naruto nodded with gusto as he left to a corner of the large gondola, humming to himself for no other reason than because he wanted to. Anko, on the other side, looked at the girl making a quick check-up for anything that might warrant suspicion.*

Anko: "She doesn't seem malnourished, so they're at least feeding her. Maybe I'm overthinking things."

Anko: So. Yakumo?

*Anko said, sitting on the floor next to Yakumo's seat and watching her paint, Naruto was right. She was a fantastic artist. It looked almost as if it was real. Yakumo stopped painting, not wanting to appear rude. She turned her head and gave Anko her full attention.*
