Wolf Child

Chapter Two: Dog Boy

Naruto POV ________

"You see this plant, it looks a lot like this one but you can't eat it, it's bad for you." Mama said as I leaned down to take a good look at it.

"So I can eat this one but not this one." I say as I was on all fours and looking at both of them up close.

Mama nodded. "Now if you sniff it you can smell the difference, this one you can't eat smells bitter while the one you can eat smells sweet." Mama stated and I sniffed the plants. I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate. I could slightly smell the difference.

"Okay mama, I'll make sure not to eat this one." I say as I pointed to the bitter smelling one. I could see mama straighten up as she continued walking.

I followed close behind. I was happy with mama, she was nice and taught me many things. She also fed me every single day and made sure my tummy didn't rumble anymore.

She also taught me many things. Like hunting and fishing, I wasn't the best at them but I was good enough that she praised me about what a good pup I was.

"Naru you see that right there? That's a paw print, a rabbit was here." She spoke as she leaned down and sniffed the ground. I trouted behind her clumsily and took a closer look.

"Can you tell which way it went?" She asked as I leaned down and sniffed. "That way." I say pointing towards the scent. Mama smiled and nodded. "Then we follow it, today I'll observe while you hunt." She smiled and I quickly began chasing the smell.

Mama had made sure I learned how to stay quiet so that I didn't scare the rabbit away.

I glanced at mama for her approval and she gave a small nod.

I lowered myself into the bushes and took a deep breath letting out a breath. I got down on all fours and waited to pounce.

The rabbit looked around and went back to eating and I pushed myself forward. I managed to hold it down with my two hands.

The rabbit squirmed as I tried to keep him down. I leaned down and bit it while holding it down and grabbed my kunai. I quickly pulled my face back and slit the rabbit's throat.

I let out a sigh of relief and held up the rabbit. "Mama mama look its dinner." I smiled widely and she nodded as she came out of the underbrush of some thick weeds.

"How will you like to eat your prey today, pup." She smiled as she took the rabbit from my hands and held it in her mouth. "I want it in a soup mama, your soups are always the best. " I squealed in excitement as mama began leading me back to the den.

I followed behind her with a big smile on my face. Mama was proud of me, that was something that made me the happiest.

Back in the village, it was the old man Hokage that took care of me but he barely had time because he was in his office sending strong ninja on some cool secret missions.

But with mama, she listened and played with me all the time. She would teach me new things and we would lay around the house together. Mama also always gave me lots of kisses and snuggled with me.

I never wanna leave mama, I'm happy that I met her.

"Naruto, since you can't eat raw meat you have to learn how to skin and cook a rabbit so come here I'll show you how to skin it." Mama stated as she turned into a human.

I nodded and quickly went to her side so she could teach me. She looked down at me and smiled. She licked my cheek and brightly smiled. "I'm so proud of you pup, the way you tracked the rabbit down was great. But we need to work on your stealth or you'll scare them away. " she smiled as she grabbed a kunai.
