Note: a wallet that has seen the growth of Naruto along with us... Froggy!

Jiraiya: we will be staying in this town to do some information gathering.
Itachi: it's quite lively here, isn't it?
Anko: can we go join the festival?
Jiraiya: sure, why not? Have some fun.
Naruto: ( looks around the town )
Iruka: Naruto? Is there something wrong?
Naruto: ( shakes his head ) just that it's my first time at a festival... I'm quite clueless about what to do.
Kakashi; first time? I'm sure you would have gone at least one time.
Naruto: I went to something similar to a festival before though...
Anko: what is it?
Naruto: the fox hunt.
Anko: is there such an event?
Kakashi: the event where the villagers hunt down the fox for their ceremony.
Iruka:... animal abuse?
Itachi: why did you join that event?
Naruto:... I don't remember already. Since nowadays, the villagers would also hunt on normal days.
Anko: is there an overpopulation of fox lately?
Naruto: maybe, who knows?
Kakashi:... let's end this topic now, we are supposed to have fun right?
Jiraiya: ( nod his head ) yes. So enjoy yourself to the fullest!... Oh ya, Naruto. Did you bring your wallet?
Naruto: yes, why? ( show him his full of money happy frog wallet )
Jiraiya: ( took his wallet and gave him 300 ryou ) you are only allowed to spend this much.
Naruto: oh okay.
Jiraiya:... can you give me more reaction? Like "eh?!" Or "Why?!".
Naruto:... why?
Jiraiya: glad you ask!
Anko: ( whisper ) are they playing some sort of game?
Kakashi: who knows?
Jiraiya: there are three sins that a Shinobi must avoid! They are...
Naruto: money, alcohol, and women. Yes, I know. Can I go now?
Jiraiya: ( cough ) good that you know! You may leave now.

Naruto just turns and walks away.

Jiraiya: hehe... there is still a lot of things you still don't know...

At the same time...

Iruka: I thought Jiraiya San took your wallet?
Naruto: that is my allowance wallet. This one is my salary wallet.
Anko: jeez. Is there a need to separate your saving into two wallets?
Naruto: for instances like this. Besides, I save up three-quarter of my money in my bank account. So there isn't a lot in this wallet.
Kakashi: so basically, you are rich.
Naruto: maybe. Okay, so teach me how does this festival thing works.
Iruka: you can buy stuff they sell and play the games they have.
Naruto: let's try the games out first then.

After a while...

Anko: I will NEVER EVER go out to a festival with Naruto again
Iruka: the shop owners look at us as if they want to kill us...
Naruto: ( holding a bag of 12 goldfish, 3 water yo-yo, a bag full of rubber balls, fireworks set, and some coupons ) so what are we playing next?
Kakashi: ( sweat dropped ) you still have money?
Naruto: ( have a questioned look ) I only spend 500 yen for five games. Of course, I still have money.
Kakashi:... let's stop before getting banned from the festival...
Naruto: oh, okay. Then should we buy food? The shop owner from the Senbonbiki stall said that I can change for any snacks with these.
Kakashi: ( sighed ) how are you good at these games when you never play them before?
Naruto: maybe it's my talent? Oh, takoyaki, I always wanted to try them... ( rubbing his forehead ) my headache is getting worse...
Kakashi: ( thought ) looks like he's having fun... those villagers are getting out of control...
Anko: ( whisper ) hey Iruka, is it only me or is Naruto acting... like a child?
Iruka: ( also whispering ) he is... but isn't he a child?
Anko: .... ( sigh ) look likes I subconsciously take him as an adult again...

.....

Jiraiya: ( drinking sake ) haha! What nice young ladies you two are...
Naruto: Ero Sannin, stop playing with young ladies.
Jiraiya: Naruto, I'm still having fun... Naruto!! Since when were you here?!
Naruto: a couple of minutes ago. We were going to the hostel first, so have fun playing. ( took his empty sad frog wallet ) spend your own money next time okay? Oh, here's a grilled squid for you, taste quite good.
Jiraiya: ... ( got the feeling that he should be ashamed but no )
Naruto: Anko, Iruka sensei, Kakashi sensei, let's go.
Anko: hey! Why are you calling me by name while you called Kakashi and Iruka sensei?!
Naruto: I was too used to it. I called Kakashi sensei cause he is my team instructor, I also called Iruka Sensei during the academy days.
Iruka: those days were a nightmare...
Anko: I want to be called Sensei too!!!
Naruto: I did call you sensei before, during the Chuunin exam.
Anko: you only called me once!!! It's still not fair!!
Naruto: ( sigh ) stop acting like a child when you are older than me.
Anko: like I care!
