A/N: Haven't updated in like, forever. Reasons: I had lost my internet for some time (damn you modem for croaking). I was sick (coughcough). I had a Holiday Vendor's Market Fair to work at (Boooored). I went to parties (I like to move it move it, I like to--). Aaaand I was too tired slash busy (lies, LIES!). Anywho, this is an entry for the sixth week challenge on the hl anime community, and the theme was "A picture is worth 1000 words." I am very contradicting, and therefore made Naruto the same way. Enjoy the randomness. No yaoi/pairings. oO;

Not That Much

"No way!" Naruto shook his head slowly, and then held his hands up to his chin in thought. He scrunched up his face before going into another fit. "There's no freaking way!" The blonde then threw his arms up in the air and growled.

Sasuke sniffed. "It's true."

"Who said?"

"Iruka-sensei," Sasuke stated with his matter-of-fact tone. "And you know he's always right."

"Yeah, but--" Naruto bit his lip before closing his eyes and waved clenched fists around his head. "It just can't be!" He paused in his fit before turning to the Uchiha. "I can only think of, like, ten."

"At the moment, I can only think of twenty-nine." Sasuke frowned. "No wait, thirty."

"Hey, if we add them together that'll made forty," Naruto counted off on his fingers. "But that won't even be a tenth of it!"

"Wow, you know math?"

"SHUT UP, BASTARD!" He hissed before plucking at his hair. "Okay, let's see, maybe we can use sentences and stuff like that...will each word in them count?"

"I'm not sure." The dark-haired boy shrugged. "Perhaps. I'm not certain."

The blonde bit his lip again, eyes beginning to water in frustration. "It's impossible. Maybe we need help."

"Iruka-sensei says that each person can do it." Sasuke tugged at his sleeves in agitation. "But he didn't say how long it would take."

The blonde fumed. "It's freaking impossible!"

"Hey guys," Sakura walked up with a wave and a smile. "Whatcha up to?"

"Oh, hey Sakura-chan!" Naruto waved before going back to the previous topic. "Like I said, waaaaay to hard. It's impossible!"

The girl blinked. "What's impossible?"

Naruto waved at the picture in the window. "That right there!"

"What about it?"

"That picture right there can't be worth a thousand words! It's not even worth fifty!"

The pink-haired kunoichi turned and stared quizzically at the Uchiha. "You guys were counting how many words you could come up for that picture?"

Sasuke glared off into space. "Sadly, yes."

"I know something that is worth a thousand words, maybe even more!" Naruto bounded into the conversation with a wide grin.

Both Sakura and Sasuke blinked at him, waiting for the answer.

Naruto's grin spread even wider and his eyes popped open wide. "Ramen!"

"Naruto, ramen isn't even worth existing."

"SHUT UP, BASTARD!"
