Because prices went up, the Hokage died. The moral of the story is that economy sucks, period. Any questions?

The Hokage slipped on a banana peel and broke his collarbone. Later, he was too weak to beat Orochimaru and therefore died.

"Come on Akamaru!'' Kiba hollered. "Why won't you just pick it up!'' Akamaru barked. "Yeah, well, that's not a legit excuse!'' Akamaru barked again. ''Yeah, well, you might have a point. You know what? Come on, let's just go.'' The two of them turned around and walked off into the sunset.

Kiba picked up a banana peel. ''Hey, who left this here?'' Then he shrugged. ''Okay Akamaru, fetch!'' Akamaru ran after it. Again and again this went on. ''You know what?'' Kiba said. ''It's getting late. Let's go home. You can pick that up and throw it in the trash.''

''Please, Sasuke!'' Ino begged. Sasuke snorted, turned around and walked off.

''You're so annoying,'' he called behind him. Ino dropped her banana peel and ran away sobbing.

Ino looked in the mirror. Looking good! It was time for the ultimate test. She gulped and stepped onto the bathroom scale. Le gasp! She only weighed idiot pounds! She skipped away to ask Sasuke out, unaware that she was wearing only a bathrobe and holding a banana peel.

Ino took out a banana. Time for breakfast! She ate a banana, looked at her calendar, and realized it was time. She could finally finish her diet. IF she passed the test.

Ino spied shamelessly on Sasuke and Sakura. She had no idea what was going on. She overheard Sasuke saying Sakura was fat, and that good ninja didn't pig out so much. A tiny candle went off over her head. She realized the reason Sasuke rejected her! She was fat. Ino made up her mind. From this day forward, she would DIET.

Sakura begged Sasuke not to go. ''Please Sasuke! I didn't mean to! I didn't know they were yours!'' she sobbed. Sasuke's face soured. ''They said my name on it. Besides, you're fat enough as it is.'' Sakura gasped. ''W-what did you say?''

Sakura was hungry. She spotted a bag of sweets lying on the bench. Giving no heed to who this might belong to, she recklessly devoured the whole thing. ''Sakura.'' Turning around, she found herself face to face with a very angry Sasuke.

Naruto's nose twitched. He smelled ramen. Giving no heed to everything else, he hurtled toward the delicious smell. Crashing into Sakura, he yelped. The ramen splattered to the ground. She growled, ''You, Naruto, are SO dead!''

Choji called out, ''Ramen, fresh ramen!'' Sakura showed up. ''I'll have a large miso ramen, please,'' she said. ''Coming right up,'' Choji beamed. His first customer.

Choji was sad. After the prices went up, he realized how much he was spending on food. He sighed. Maybe he should take up something else instead of eating. Something profitable. Like...like…cooking! That was it! Choji would open up his very own ramen stand.

The prices of, well, everything went up in the Hidden Leaf Village. Yay.
