* Another day, the sun is setting on konoha, another day passed of little Naruto's life. We see him on his top bunk of the bunk beds. He had his plushie in hand, hugging it tightly as his mother was sitting on the bed, with a old second hand guitar in her hand that she got at this world's version of the salvation army's aka the salvation shinobi. Anko smiled at her son as she kissed softly his temple*

Anko: ok Naruto, one song, and then you go to bed. Understood?

Naruto: Yes, Mommy

*Naruto said as he got comfortable, anko nodded and started playing the instrument. After years of singing lullaby after lullaby, anko finally found one that spoke to her feelings for Naruto, straight from her heart*

Anko: If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream...

*anko started to sing softly, smiling as she sang, thinking of the last 5 years with her son. How much Naruto has changed it for the better, how different she is from the woman she used to be in the anbu force*

Anko: And for a fraction of a second
You can't remember where you are
Just open your window

*anko sang, as in the back of her mind, she thinks of what her old self would say to what she is now. She wouldn't be happy with it. In fact, she would be down right pissed*

Anko: And follow your memory upstream To the meadow in the mountain Where we counted every falling star

*anko sang, as she could practically hear her old self, saying things like "you've grown soft" "I never wanted to be a mother" " I hate kids, their so annoying". Things everybody says but very few people actually mean it*

Anko: I believe the light that shines on you will shine on you forever, forever
And though I can't guarantee there's nothing scary hiding under your bed

*anko sang softly, trying to keep a frown from her face, since that line of thought led to her to remember her time as orochimaru's "pupil," aka his lab-rat But that quickly changed after what she saw Naruto shift on his bed to his side, to get comfortable*

Anko: I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a Golden Retriever and never leave 'til I leave you. With a sweet dream in your head

*anko sang, All those words from the past, all just disappeared with the wind, when she saw the closed eye smile of her son.  She was a mother and she loved her son. A son she'll do anything to protect*

Anko: I'm gonna watch you shine Gonna watch you grow Gonna paint a sign So you'll always know As long as one and one is two There could never be a mother loved her son More than I love you

*anko sang in a more relaxed tone, as the truth really was just laid bare for her to see, wasn't it? when she saw her son smile, when she saw that look in his eyes that says she's his whole world, that he loves her more than anyone has ever loved anko before.*

Anko: Trust your intuition. It's just like goin' fishin'. You cast your line and hope you get a bite

*anko sang, as she knew the truth.  She wasn't that same rebellious shinobi she once was. She was a domesticated mother, and she was happy with this life. Even if she knows that her past self would hate it so much,*

Anko: But you don't need to waste your time Worryin' about the marketplace Try to help the human race Struggling to survive its harshest night

*anko sang, as she thought of her current life. A life she never even considered as a possibility that she could one day have, but she has it now. All because of this boy. All because of her boy, her son, her Naruto *

Anko: I'm gonna watch you shine. Gonna watch you grow. Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know As long as one and one is two There could never be a mother loved her son More than I love you

*anko sang and just let herself let go of all her thoughts on the guitar solo. She hummed with her eyes closed and just breathed*

Anko: I'm gonna watch you shine. Gonna watch you grow. Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know as long as one and one are two

*anko sang, as she saw her son give out a big yawn, which infected anko as she yawned as well. She couldn't help but feel happy to have thus ball of sunshine in her life*

Anko: There could never be a mother loved his son More than I love you I love you

*anko finished with a huff of amusement at herself. Since for her It was really quite funny, the woman who used to say she'll never have kids, now can't think of a moment without her son in her life. Once she saw her son was asleep, she gave him one more kiss on the temple*

Anko: I love you.

*anko whispered softly as she got down to her bed on the bottom. She placed the guitar under the bed and went to sleep, knowing that when she entered the realm of sleep, only good dreams would be waiting for her.*

Later

*anko was gonna kill somebody. It was early in the morning, like really early in the morning. When the sky was still orange as the sun was getting up, someone was knocking on her door. She sighed deeply as she got up and walked to the door, before whoever was on the other's side woke her son up. She opened the door with crusty eyes and a deep scowl on her face, seeing who it was.*

Anko: Itachi Uchiha. What the fuck are you waking me up, so God damned early in the morning.

Itachi: Uh. Sorry. But you did say if you needed help, I could come over.

*itachi said awkwardly, shocked to see anko in such a state, since he's still wet behind the ears, and doesn't know that izumi looks pretty much the same in the morning, only she gets in a worse mood when someone wakes her up, she even activated her sharingan because someone woke her up. Anko took a deep breath before talking *

Anko: I didn't think I had to explain that I meant at a reasonable hour. Now, what do you need?

Itachi: If it's any trouble, I can come back later

*itachi said nervously,  even if outwardly he didn't show it. He still remained that neutral expression on his face. Anko chuckled as she rubbed the crust out of her eyes as she spoke in a rough tone*

Anko: Buddy, you already woke me up. You don't want to wake me up a second time.  Now, what is it?

Itachi: Um. Where can I buy a backpack, picnic blanket, and a lunch box for kids?

*itachi asked. It took a moment for anko to understand why itachi needed all of that, when she remembered that Naruto and his class are going on a field trip today. So she spoke up from memory*

Anko: You can buy a backpack and lunch boxes at the store in front of the convenience store. Picnic sheets you can find in thrift shops or home improvement stores. All of that will probably cost, like under 35 ryo

Itachi:.....

* For the first time, izumi wasn't the only person to make itachi feel emotions, snko could see it. This boy was totally and completely lost, over what anko just said. Anko chuckled softly as she crossed her arms*

Anko: You don't know where any of this stuff is, do you?

Itachi: No.

*itacho admitting rubbing the back of his head. Anko sighed, which turned into a groan. Normally, she wouldn't help, but the idea of a little kid not being able to go on the field trip pulled on the right heartstrings.*

Anko: You owe me, today was my day off, and I'm gonna spend the morning helping you. Come inside, let's have breakfast before we go. I also have to make my son some breakfast, since there's no way he's not coming with us.

Itachi: Thanks. I really appreciate this

Anko: Yeah, yeah. Just sit down and wait, I'm going to the bathroom first.

*Anko said with a yawn as she walked away. Itachi nodded and sat down on a dining chair. He looked around the apartment it really didn't have a whole lot or all that big.*

Itachi"man. My room is bigger than this apartment."

*itachi thought, as he picked up Naruto's big books about animals, and started reading it, since he's got nothing better to do. Though he did first go to find the page for crows. He heard anko walk out of the bathroom and instantly went to start breakfast*

Anko: So. Why did you come to me for all of this? Don't you guys have servants or some shit,  like the hyuga clan?

Itachi: we used to. But after the massacre, everyone is being trained to be a shinobi, even those in their 50's with zero experience.

*itachi explained, anko raised an eyebrow confused, as she kept cooking, making a classic konoha breakfast bacon, egg, hashbrown and pancakes*

Anko: Why?

Itachi: Our numbers were cut more than half. We need to protect those who are left, so everyone is being trained. This is why I don't have any servants anymore. I'm the one stuck taking care of Sasuke since my mother is busy with the clan. Of course, if you're offering...?

*itachi said with a ghost of a smirk, anko snorted as a response, since there was no way in the nine hells of DnD that she would ever be caught dead being a servant for one of those high class families*

Anko: Not even if you paid me 5 times my normal rates. I may have changed from my anbu days, but I have more pride than to be anyone's servant

Itachi: Fair enough.

*itachi said, as they remained in a comfortable silence. With anko cooking and itachi reading the animal book, he could tell it belonged to a child, seeing as the pages of the books had drawings of them. Well made drawing by someone of Naruto's age, but still drawings. Of him looking at the animals with binoculars, or bushes with eyes popping out of them, itachi's favorite one was little Naruto with wings, flying next to the crows*

Itachi" hm. This boy sure has a big imagination. He could be good for Sasuke, to be friends with."

Later, after chibi, anko finished making the food

*anko put everything on the table, and itachi looked surprised, everything looks as good as when izumi cooks for him. Which really was normal, itachi just sucks at cooking.*

Itachi: I'm surprised. All this looks fresh

Anko: Because it is? I went shopping yesterday. Why are you so surprised?

*anko asked, confused, as she looked down at the food. Of course, it was fresh, not like she's gonna feed her son old food or say, instant Ramen for breakfast,  I mean, who would give a child instant Ramen for breakfast? Itachi, for his part, waved his hand dismissively*

Itachi: Nothing, nothing, I was just expecting the eggs to be powdered eggs, for example

Anko: First of all, rude. Second of all, there's nothing wrong with powdered eggs. Sure, they can be a bit watery, but food is food, and as long as I can feed my son, I'm satisfied. Third of all, not all of us are nepotism babies, who can afford the freshest farm to table ingredients

*anko said with her arm crossed, she was feeling rather insulted, that she made this breakfast, and itachi was insinuating that she couldn't afford normal ingredients. Itachi feeling that he fucked up, bowed his head a little.*

Itachi: I apologize for any disrespect. I guess I let rumors get the better of me.

Anko:....and what rumors might those be?

*anko asked, with a hint of danger in her tone. Itachi hummed as he decided if it would be best to tell the truth or not. To save himself some pain, and the fact that he still needs her help, itachi told anko the truth*

Itachi: Someone in your work heard you complaining to ibiki. About how you couldn't afford a toy for your child

Anko: .   .   .when I find that person. And I can promise you that I WILL find that person. I'll kill them.

*anko said with a hiss, a dark aura surrounding her, showing a bit of her old self. She quickly took a few breaths to calm herself down. She'll need time to think of a perfect revenge for whoever wasn't minding their nose in their business*

Anko: Secondly, that's not what I said. I said that I had to ground Naruto because he bought a toy under my name without permission. And thirdly,  it had nothing to do with that I don't have money. It has to do with that. I don't have 100 Ryo to spend on a single toy. That's simply ridiculous. I've got bills to pay, food to buy, etc.

Itachi: I suppose that makes more sense

*itachi said softly, anko nodded as she turned around and started walking to the bunk beds in the room, it was way earlier than she normally wakes Naruto up, but today she'll make an exception.*

Anko: it should, because it's the truth. Now let me wake my son up so that we can enjoy this spread.

Itachi: Of course, don't mind me.

*itachi said as he waited patiently for the other two, his upbringing not allowing him to eat before everyone was on the table. Anko climbed up to Naruto's bed and saw him sleeping peacefully, hugging his plushie. Anko smiled softly as she felt her anger just disappeared seeing her son there. The only real thing that mattered to her*

Later, after breakfast and chibi anko dragging itachi around to get everything,  with a very little chibi Naruto on anko's back like a koala

Anko: ok, you have fun and listen to whatever your teacher tells you, ok?

Naruto: ok mommy, I will!

*Naruto said with a bright smile, as anko was kneeled down, fixing Naruto's collar, giving a last-minute check up on everything. Meanwhile, with the Uchiha siblings.*

Itachi: behave.

Sasuke: Hm.

*Sasuke just gave a short nod as he waited for Naruto to be finished with his mother. Which took another 5 minutes, thanks to anko. Once she was done, Naruto walked to Sasuke, grabbed his hand, and walked with him to the group,  as always talking his ear off. Itachi and anko watched them go*

Anko: I'm glad those two seem to be getting along.

Itachi: Not as glad as I am. Thank you. For helping me this morning

*itachi said politely, with a bow. But anko waved her hand dismissively. She didn't even look at him. She kept looking at her son, who made it with his friend group. She smirked a little when she saw  Naruto grabbing hinata's sleeve, stopping her from running away from the shyness again*

Anko" My boy really won't let anyone feel like their alone."

Anko: Don't mention it. Us single parents need to stick together. Even if you're an honorary parent, with being a big brother and all. Come see me if you need any more help. But not at the crack of dawn

*anko said with a yawn, as she left for home, to enjoy the rest of her day off with sleeping in and sleeping deep until it was time to collect her son. Itachi, for his part, nodded at anko as she left and left himself to find and spend time with izumi*
