Me finding money on my walks :D
*It's been a few days since the last chapter, and things were slowly going back to normal at the capital. Narumi and the other girls were still upset at Kushina and her actions, but there was nothing they could do about it, and at the end of the day she was still their mom/aunty, so they forgave her and kept with their life hoping that one day they'll get to see Naruto. But while the fire capital was going back to normal, in Konoha things couldn't be said the same. We see Naruto and Anko alone in their home, while Gaara spends time getting to know Uncle Ibiki. Anko walked up to her son in the living room writing in his little book when she spoke.*
Anko: Baby. We... we need to talk.
Naruto: yeah mom?
*Naruto asked with his usual bright smile as he looked at Anko, looking at her with those big innocent eyes that made Anko buckle under his gaze. He looked so cute, so innocent, and here she was about to ruin that peace. After much time thinking about it, and many conversations with her friends like Kagura, Anko finally decided to give Naruto those pills, this conversation was the same as when they moved, she was just making sure this was a comfortable experience for Naruto, even if she was looking for any excuse to throw them down the toilet.*
Anko: Uh, ok. How do I say this? Do you ever feel.... different, than the rest of the class?
Naruto:. . . Mom. I'm the only boy who wears girls' clothing. Sure Gaara does it sometimes but that's just because he knows it makes me happy. I am different. And different is ok, you've said so yourself.
*Naruto said with a bit of a chuckle, since yes he was weird. He liked to wear dresses, he likes wearing bright colors that are typically considered girl colors like pink, he likes to play dress up, paint his nails, etc. He was different from any other boy in his friend group, and that was ok. It was the same reason why Gaara was so comfortable with Anko, because Anko didn't care about them being different, she just cared about them being happy. Anko gave a nod with a small chuckle, but soon that amusement left and the nervousness returned as Anko continued to talk about this.*
Anko: I did. I did tell you that. But that's not what I meant. Uh. Do you... Do you ever feel like you can't concentrate on things? Like you can't sit still?
Naruto: Yup, a lot. Like a lot a lot. It's just that there's so much I could be doing! So much fun I could be having! I can't help but feel excited.
*Naruto said with a very happy smile, after this conversation, Naruto hopes that Anko will let Naruto go with Uncle Ibiki and Gaara. And then maybe visit Hinata and play with her for a few hours. There was so much that they could be doing today, that just sitting here was a waste. Anko's smile became more strained, as what she used to see as a positive sign of her son, she now can't help but see it as a symptom like Mr. Kuruo has told her.*
