"So, wow," Genma said, his senbon bouncing in his mouth as he watched Naruto work a pen like took that had a round ball on top with paper attached to it over a small wooden statue. "I did not know that you could do that," he breathed, plopping down onto Narutos couch.
"No one really does, but that's because no one knows that Iruka can carve," Naruto chuckled, taking a close look at the sleeping dog in his hand. Picking up a small, wooden sparrow, he slotted it into place and smiled bright. "Perfect fit."
"When did you learn? Who taught you?" Genmas asked as Naruto assembled the entire statue, placing the animals onto a base, along with a carved weeping willow tree.
"Iruka found me playing with a knife and a stick, creating a head for a doll. It was crude at best, but Iruka saw that I had raw, self taught talent," Naruto replied as he placed the statue down and started to clean up the wood dust. "I was about 7 and in my second year of the academy, so he started to give me lessons on how to carve."
"So all those little statues that litter his place," Genma drawled, watching Naruto blush as he flips the dust out of the window.
"Are my earlier attempts," Naruto replied, shrugging with a sheepish smile. "My newer ones are sold and the money put into a specialized fund under my other name."
"Ah, so that's what that bank statement is about," Genma chuckled, pulling Naruto down to straddle his lap.
"Yep. I'm building a fund for any kids we have," Naruto admitted, getting a loving smile asGenma put his senbon aside.
"Great minds think alike."
