A/n and here we have it chapter 3 of the eroninja
curiousity killed the fox
Naruto was confused. Detractors of the fox jinchuriki would claim that this was a common state but when a child isn't taught by someone and is banned from the library it should be expected.
Naruto understood the concept's of Icha Icha Paradise surprisingly well for a seven year old. There was humor the hero ended up with the princess, the maid and most of the female cast. What Naruto couldn't properly understand was why the romance and relationships was considered so important and why the hero moped when not in the presence of a lady for more than 5 minutes.
Though Naruto was oblivious that was , to an extent, by design after all if you don't notice the name calling and that it wasn't normal to be kicked out or overcharged in stores then it can't hurt you 'out of sight, out of mind' after all but when Naruto lifted his blinders to the world he knew that he wouldn't be able to let anyone see him seeking out knowledge without them blocking every attempt out of spite so he thought like a ninja and ninja's are well known their stealth.
Naruto needed to know why and he couldn't ask anyone because they would question why he was seeking that kind of knowledge. This meant that Naruto would have to 'prank' the library , it wasn't stealing he just moved the books around and if he happened to benifit then that was just an unintended, happy coincidence right ?
Now Naruto would not be called a genius but when he is interested in a topic he is a fast learner and that is why at 3am instead of being asleep we find Naruto blearily looking at an anatomy diagram , many medical books and romance novels scattered around him in an attempt to understand why.
So far Naruto had learnt that A)girl's liked to be complimented often B) being 'close' to the opposite sex came from biological impulses. Finally ,thanks to the romance novels strangly , he learnt that the reason for man's obsession with physical intimacy was mainly that it felt good both physically and emotionally.
Naruto was slightly disappointed that the reasoning was so simple but still he rarely had positive physical contact with anyone so maybe he could relate a little. Naruto decided then and there that he would come to the library more often so that he could gain a better understanding of romance and emotions so that he would know what to expect , even if he didn't put that knowledge into practise for many years. Besides these novels were almost better than his comics Naruto reasoned as he left the library with a much better appreciation for the written word.
A/n I tried to write a longer chapter but I just don't think it's going to happen any time soon. Before anyone says that Naruto isn't that smart he managed to stay at the same level as someone with far more help and information than him (sasuke) with only the most basic of instruction.
