I had an apple that was really weird looking, my brother commented on how the tree it cam from must have been really weird too, and I had just read a Naruto fic, so this happened. I'm sorry, but I don't even know.
This is when someone puts minor emphasis on a word
'This is when someone is thinking'
This is when they are putting a lot of emphasis on a word
"This is someone talking"
Disclaimer: I do not own anything but this computer and a funny looking apple.
The Hokage sighed as he did paperwork. Truly, it was the most terrible thing to ever come into existence. He was in the middle of wishing there was something to distract him, anything, when he heard a thump come from outside. When he looked out the window, he could barely make out Naruto sitting down, staring at something out of his line of sight. He could barley hear Naruto speaking, and when he concentrated, he made out the words "Odd apple tree."
He furrowed his eyebrows. 'There are no apple trees in Konoha." But it was Naruto he was talking about. Naruto said the strangest things.
This was a first, however. Hiruzen crinkled his eyebrows, wondering what brought that sentence on. It was possible the old man had heard wrong. There was a large enough distance between them, along with a wall and window. Plus, lately the Third Hokage had been mishearing things. He was getting old.
But his age was beside the point.
The point being that Naruto may have just commented on an apple tree that shouldn't exist.
But then he heard Naruto repeat himself, followed by murmurs of agreement from others, shinobi and civilian alike. Which means he didnt hear wrong, and it wasn't just Naruto being Naruto. There actually was an apple tree. An odd one, judging by the boy's repeated sentence.
Of course, the odd part could be because it shouldn't be here. Since they live in Konoha. And there are no apple trees in Konoha. Being Konoha.
So the Hokage was understandably confused.
"That is one... odd apple tree."
Starting to get annoyed, the Third tried to pry the window open -how, and why, his ANBU did this every time they entered as opposed to using the front door, he would never know- and managed to open it a crack.
"That... is one oddapple tree." Naruto emphasized, yet again. Sarutobi finally got the window open enough to stick his head out to see what exactly was going on, and promptly froze, staring numbly at the tree outside.
"That is one odd apple tree," he admitted.
I have an excuse. This was written first at three in the morning, then later (and by later I mean, like, a year later) improved by me at midnight. So. Yeah.
