Chapter 1
It happened to be Naruto's birthday, the one day that he woke up from a nightmare. It was very vivid, but he could only remember parts of it. Naruto had a flashback dream about him when he was born. He didn't see this very clearly, but he saw a man with blonde, spiky hair that was wearing a robe with white and red on it. He was also smiling, as much as anyone could smile.
"Naruto, I must go, but I will be back, someday. Remember my name. It is Min-"a new voice interrupted," Wake up idiot!"
"Hey! I was dreaming Sakura!" Naruto complained.
"Well, it's your birthday! Kakashi-sensei assigned it as a mission to wake you up, and take you to Ichiraku Ramen. Sasuke's downstairs, waiting. We don't want to make him upset!" Sakura fussed. Naruto got dressed, and went downstairs. Sakura and Sasuke were waiting for him. Naruto glared at Sasuke, and Sasuke stared coolly back, and then faced another way and started sulking. Secretly, Naruto was happy that Sasuke was coming to Ichiraku Ramen to celebrate his birthday.
Naruto walked into the Ichiraku Ramen shop.
"Happy birthday, Naruto!" A bunch of people yelled. Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, Lady Tsunade, Shizune, Jiraiya, all of the rookie genin, and Gai-sensei's squad were all there.
Naruto's eyes sparkled with delight, as he saw all of these people who actually came to Ichiraku Ramen to celebrate. There was one thing missing, though, but Naruto couldn't quite figure it out. He just dismissed the feeling of something missing as fast as he could eat a bowl of ramen. "Let's have a ramen eating contest, the one who can eat the most ramen bowls, in the least amount of time wins!" Naruto shouted so that the whole world could hear him.
