Right, really sorry about the shortness of these. I'm really busy planning some story stuff and doing important work, so they'll most likely be short for a while. I will try and make more of an effort, though!
Shino found it odd his family had an orchard.
They were not exactly the farmly kind, mostly dealing in silk from the family's silkworms, among other things. But an orchard? That was honestly the most bizarre thing he had ever heard about. And he was an Aburame.
And so, the six year old sat, as his father and mother picked apple after apple from the rows of trees. He watched curiously, but soon decided he wanted to see what all the fuss was about. So, standing upwards, he ran over to a nearby tree, and kicked it roughly. It shook slightly. However, an apple did not fall down.
Grunting in annoyance, Shino went to turn away, only to yell out, "Ow!" as an apple slammed into the top of his head. Rubbing the injured area, he glowered at the shiny red fruit on the ground. Reaching down, he picked it up and took a bite.
Instantly, his taste buds were delighted, filled with sweet crunches as he devoured the apple.
Perhaps this was the reason his family had an orchard.
