"Man Im so hungry..." Naruto thought as his stomache growled for the tenth time in the past few minutes.

"Hmmm... I think Ill head over for a few dozen bowls of Ichiraku's Ramen, then head to the training fields to improve my rasengan."

Naruto headed over to Ichiraku's only to his dismay find that they were closed. Terrified that he wasnt going to get ramen, he ran to the back of Ichiraku's. There he found Ichiraku and his wife cleaning the alley.

"Hey, why are you guys closed today?" Naruto asked trying to hide his frustration.

"Sorry Naruto, but we never got our shipment of noodles." Ichiraku's wife replied.

Naruto's stomache growled more. After a few minutes of roaming the Leaf Village's streets Naruto couldnt take they hunger. The Nine-Tails chakra enveloped him and he took off like a bullet toward the noodle factory which lay over a mile away to the east. With the help of the Nine-Tails chakra, Naruto reached it within a few minutes.

"Where's Ichiraku's noodles!" Naruto demanded as soon as he saw the factory owner.

"Ahh! Its the Nine Tails!" He shouted not noticing the clear difference between the one tails cloak Naruto was enveloped in and the Nine Tails.

Naruto forced the cloak back and the owner calmed down a bit.

"The delivery man was sick today and we have nobody else to take them. They are over there." He said pointing to the crates of noodles.

Naruto picked up the boxes and sped to the Leaf Village as fast as he possibly could with the weight of the crates.

Later Naruto got his ramen on the house for saving Ichiraku's paycheck.
