~ Ninken Naruto ~
Chapter 1
"Oh, come on Kakashi sensei! We're almost there already aren't we? Can we just stop and eat for a while?" Naruto begged in a desperate plea for help assisted with his stomach rumbling. He was hungry. He'd been hungry for the past ten mintues and he just could not take it anymore as they were walking through a conspicuously suspicious village on their journey to the Mist.
"We're barely half way through! We shouldn't really stop Naruto..." Kakashi said.
"Oh, come on! Please! I'm begging!" Naruto pleaded.
"We're already behind schedule..."
"Please... It's all I'm asking... Just some food... Please..?"
"... but, if you're really that desperate..." Kakashi had finally given in. Naruto's face lit up instantly like a puppy: eyes big, bright and jumping with joy. He'd already chosen a ramen place to honour his appetite unsurprisingly enough. He stuffed noodles in his mouth and slurped the soup down whilst Sakura looked at him in slight disgust with a hint of disbelief.
"Jeez Naruto, we've been walking for barely an hour. I can't believe you're that starved. I'm not even hungry yet." Sakura said.
"The bowl's so big... How can you finish it..?" questioned Sai looking at the monstrous serving.
"Aren't- You guys- Gonna- Have any..?" Naruto asked making an effort to talk to them while drinking down small bits of debris in the soup.
"No, we're ok. Come on Naruto! We need to get going." replied Sakura.
"Ok, ok- Ahhh... All done! We can go now!"
So fast and the bowl is so clean... How can he do that? Sai thought to himself.
They continued their journey for a few more hours before they reached the Mist on time to complete their mission and, when they arrived back at the Leaf, they reported to Lady Tsunade and went their separate ways. Naruto dawdled back home with his two hands covering his stomach in an effort to relieve an uncertain pain that had been developing for the past few hours.
Ow- It must have been something I ate... That damn ramen! But... It was delicious! He thought with a happy smile to be interrupted by a tugging pain.
Finally reaching home, he threw himself atop his bed and embraced the sheets that welcomed him.
Ahh... I just need some rest... It'll be over before I know it... he thought before drifting off into a wondrous, quaint sleep mixed with a mumble of nonsense here and there.
Morning soon came and Naruto awoke from his sleep feeling warmer, cosier and, in a way, smaller than usual. He reached into the air stretching before pushing the covers aside still half-asleep. He sat up on the side of his bed, rubbed his eyes and, in an unsuccessful attempt to stand up like a normal human being, fell to the ground and landed on all-fours.
"Huh..? What the..?" He looked at his hands as his eyes widened with terror and his jaw dropped, "HUH? WHA- WHY AM I-"
He looked inside his mirror.
"HHUUUUHHH?! WHAT THE HELL?!"
~ Please tell me what you think by reviewing! Constructive criticism is appreciated! ~
Also, this is an improved version of a story I stopped writing a while back and eventually deleted. I think I will continue updating this unlike last time.
