Jiraiya: Yo, Naruto!
Naruto: Eh? What do you want?
Jiraiya: You know that girl you like? Uh... What's her name...
Naruto: Sakura-chan?
Jiraiya: So that's her name! Very suiting, don't you think?
Naruto: What do you mean by that? And where are you going with this conversation?
Jiraiya: What it means, nothing. Where I'm going with this, somewhere.
Naruto: I don't like the sound of that...
Jiraiya: May i ask, when are you going to tell Sakura that you like her?
Naruto: Well, I don't know, I mean, she hasn't gotten over Sasuke yet-
Jiraiya: Ahh! I see! So you want her to start to like you, and then you'll make your move! Nice... I wonder what she looks like with only a towel on? He he he...
Naruto: No, no, no! It's not that... it's just, wait, what did you say!?
Jiraiya: Ah, you're not sure! I get it, no worries, oh, and what i said was none of your buisness!
Naruto: If this is all we're going to talk about, I'm out of here!
Jiraiya: Wait, wait, wait a second!
Naruto: Why should I?
Jiraiya: Because, i can help you win Sakuras heart!
Naruto: Fine... I'm listening
Jiraiya: Okay now, here's what I'm thinking you guys do.
Naruto: great (sigh)
Jiraiya: you guys should go out - just the two of you- somewhere romantic! Anywhere but ichiraku Ramen shop, though.
Naruto: But Ichiraku is awesome! No other Ramen Shop can compete with it!
Jiraiya: yes, that is true. But, do you realize that ramen isn't romantic?
Naruto: Yes, but-
Jiraiya: Leave it to me! I will find you somewhere so romantic Sakura will not like you... BUT LOVE YOU!
Naruto: Oh yes, leave it up to the pervy sage who can't even keep a girl for 10 minutes and peeps on them in the hot springs!
Jiraiya: I will have you know it was 15 minutes AND with a girl not even from a bar! HAH!
Naruto: Oh, that makes a difference. Can we go back to me and Sakura, please?
Jiraiya: Yes, fine, where was I? Oh yes, let's see, what's romantic? Oh! There's a moonlight walk around the training grounds, a nice dinner at a romantic resrurant, or a nice night like this, tonight relaxing in a hot spring. Yeah, that's good, what do you think, Naruto?
Naruto: I'm thinking she's going to think I'm some pervert like you!
Jiraiya: fine, id you don't like it, then what do you suggest, Huh?!
Naruto: Oh, umm, maybe a picnic is nice and romantic, i guess...
Jiraiya: wow, Naruto, you have a very good imagination, I never would have thought of a picnic! When shall it be? Mornoing, after noon, evening, or even better, sunset like tonight. What do you thin? Eh?
Naruto: Umm, maybe sunset I guess...
Jiraiya: Hey, do oyu mind if I write my next book on your date or rejection? It would make a great book. I promize to give you 30 of the profits! Come on, pleeeeeeeease?
Naruto: Fine, but try to stay hidden (more sighs)
