Naruto entered his home and yawned. It'd been a tiring day, training with Jiraiya and fighting Shadow as well as keeping the Kyuubi from killing him on the spot, sadly Shadow was to die anyway. Naruto went into the bathroom and washed, glad that no more bruises would be added unless it in a real battle, no tears would be shed because of Shadow. It would be alright. He exited the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist and saw something odd in the mirror. He stepped closer and saw his eyes had red around the edges and that purple connected the red and blue. He jumped back and blinked, his heart pounding. This had never happened to him before, and he wondered why it was this way.
We've bonded, the fox mused.
"B-bonded?" Naruto asked aloud.
Yes, this has only happened one other time, and this was your mother's great grandfather, the Kyuubi noted.
"Wow... I look kinda cool," Naruto said with a grin.
Just get dressed, the Nine-Tailed Fox growled in an almost fatherly way.
"Alright," Naruto said, rolling his eyes.
He pulled on his clothes and practically skipped out the door. He wanted to see people, eat ramen... oh the ramen. How he missed it. He almost ran to Ichiraku's and entered, a huge grin on his face.
"Load me up, as much ramen as I can eat!"
"Naruto! It's good to see you," the older man said, a huge smile on his face. "Miso soup?"
"Oh yes," Naruto said, sitting down. As soon as the bowl was placed in front of him he broke apart the chopsticks before he scarfed, no, inhaled his food. "More please!"
"Coming right up," Teuichi said, making more.
Naruto ate fifteen bowls of ramen before he stopped and paid them. "Thanks, I'll come by again tomorrow!"
"Alright, see you later Naruto," Teuichi and his daughter yelled.
Naruto then remembered they had a mission the next day so he walked over to Kakashi's and knocked on the door and there was no answer but he knew the lazy bum was in the house. Naruto pounded on the door. "Open up Kakashi! I haven't got all day!"
Kakashi opened the door immediately after he heard Naruto's voice. "H-hey Naruto. What's up?"
"What's the mission again?"
Kakashi's shoulders slumped and he sighed. "It's an escort mission, we're just taking a merchant back home."
Naruto's blood boiled. He marched towards Tsunade's office, but not before he could throw a goodbye to Kakashi over his shoulder. He burst into Tsunade's office and slammed his hands on her desk.
"What is it Naruto?" Tsunade said in a cautious voice, obviously she thought he was still helpless like only hours ago.
"Why can't I get a real mission? I mean, why escort a merchant home? That's too easy!"
Tsunade gained a small smile and she shook her head. "You're the one that accepted it."
"I should be getting A-Rank missions and having an adventure! Not loping around walking with a merchant," Naruto comlpained.
Yes, Naruto Uzumaki, the knucklehead ninja, was back.
Ali: Oh yeah!
Gai: Wait, weren't you supposed to wait for reviews on your other story?
Ali: They were too slow, and I had an idea in my head.
Gai: *sighs* You're too fast paced.
Ali: You're one to talk!
Gai: shouldn't we be saying review?
ALi: Oh yeah...
Both: Review!~
