Chapter 1: The Devil Wears Mask

It was a peaceful Sunday morning in Konoha village, as peaceful as it could be for a village that had survived multiple invasions and wars. The face of the Sixth Hokage was freshly carved on the Hokage Mountain. The lower half of the face however was left blank deliberately (it saved the artisan half of his time and effort to get the work done). Kishimoto sensei banzai! The artisan exclaimed in his heart.

The said Hokage however was not happy at the moment. His hand twitched when he reached into his pocket and found nothing. Right, my book was stolen by that cheap bastard. A dark cloud began to gather on top of his head. Those who were smart enough to see it from afar avoided direct eye contact with their annoyed Hokage. Unfortunately, Naruto wasn't one of them.

"Hey, Kaka-sensei!"

He barged into the Sixth Hokage's office without bothering to knock on the door first.

"It's Hokage-sama now, Naruto." Kakashi reminded him pointedly.

Naruto scratched the whiskers mark on his cheeks sheepishly.

"Sorry. Say, do you have any mission that you can assign me today, Hokage-sama?"

"No." Kakashi replied in a dead pan manner.

Naruto's shoulders slumped dejectedly. But he hadn't given up hope yet.

"Not even a D-rank mission that I can complete with blindfold and only one arm?"

"No. Go away and pester someone else, Naruto. I have better work to do."

"Yeah, like what? Reading your Icha Icha novel?" Naruto pointed to the Hokage's desk which was pretty much bare and didn't have any paperwork on it.

At the mention of his Icha Icha novel (currently missing), the copy nin's mood just got darker if that was even possible.

"What I do is none of your business."

"Why are you being so grumpy lately? Are you having a midlife crisis or something?" Naruto huffed.

A lightning bolt struck from the mini dark cloud on top of Kakashi's head. This is it! The boy has pushed his button!

"Naruto," his voice low and dangerous, "because of your insubordinate towards the Hokage, I hereby ban you from a month of ramen supply."

"WHAT! You can't do that!" Naruto protested loudly, not caring if all the staff in Hokage office could hear him.

"Yes, I just did. Starting from right now, you shall have no ramen for thirty days. Anyone who supplied you ramen will be punished severely. If you disobey my order, you'll be punished more severely." Kakashi began to write down his orders on a scroll without wasting time.

Sensing that his former sensei was dead serious, Naruto gaped in shock.

"But… but…" the blond boy could only stutter incoherently.

Kakashi scribbled his signature on the scroll complete with the Hokage stamp in record time, making his order official before Naruto could recover from his shock. "Now get out from my office!" he barked one last order.

Naruto felt as if he had just being sent to the deepest pit of hell.

"Ne, Sakura-chan. Please help me to persuade Kakashi to remove his inhumane 30 days-ramen-ban on me, please?" Naruto held his palm together like he was praying to the Buddha. Right now, the only one who could save him was Sakura.

Sakura didn't look up from the thick medical book that she was reading. Damn it, she had better things to do at the moment like researching on how to make him and Sasuke prosthetic arms that would function just like real ones. "No thanks to both of you, my forehead just got bigger!" Inner Sakura yelled.

"Served you right to provoke him." She said coldly.

Naruto's lower lips trembled. Tears in his big blue eyes threatened to overflow and flood the whole Konoha village.

"Sakura-chan, you're the only who can save me! Do you want to see me dead? You know I can't live without ramen even for a single day."

"Shh, this is a hospital. Keep your voice down!" a nurse passing by berated him but the blond jinchuriki paid no heed to her warning.

Sakura sighed exasperatedly.

"Fine." She finally gave in, even if it's just to keep his mouth shut.

"Do you pinky swear?" Naruto held up his pinky finger.

A vein popped up on her forehead. Her patience was running thin.

"Leave me alone, NOW! Before I change my mind and break the other arm of yours and use it to beat you into a bloody pulp!"

Naruto scrambled out from her sight like his life depended on it.

Naruto wandered on the street aimlessly. It felt as if he was back to the time when he was younger and no one acknowledged him. Everyone else seemed to have better work to do, except him. He didn't feel like a hero who had just saved the world. Instead, he felt like an invalid now that he had lost his right arm. Nothing could console him better than a bowl of ramen. Now even that was taken away from him!

A very unhappy Naruto unleashed his frustration the best way his could with minimal damage – vandalize the Hokage Mountain with paint. This time, he only focused on the Sixth Hokage's face.

Hatake Kakashi wasn't a heartless man. He did feel guilty for cutting Naruto off one month ramen supply. Well, almost. Until he found out that Naruto had drawn fish lips, gap teeth, centipede-like scars and a large mole with bright paint on his handsome rock face on Hokage Mountain.

"Ahah!"

An idea lit up like a light bulb in his genius mind. Perhaps the blond boy could find a way to redeem himself.

"Summon Uzumaki Naruto to my office immediately."

"I have a mission for you, Naruto." Kakashi crossed his arms across his chest while staring at his former student intently. "If you succeed in this mission, the 30 days ramen ban will be lifted immediately."

"I'm listening…" Naruto eyed the copy-nin suspiciously. "What's the catch?"

Kakashi smirked and said, "No catch." But the strange glint in his eyes suggested otherwise.

"Fine, what is the mission?"

"Your mission should you choose to accept it, is to retrieve my missing Icha Icha Ten Year Limited Edition volume-"

Naruto snorted in response.

"I'm not finished yet." Kakashi paused mysteriously before continued, "In another universe."

Naruto couldn't believe his ears. "What the *beep* you just said?"

"Language, young man, language. We have young readers here. You heard me, it's in another universe."

Naruto's expression was simply priceless when Kakashi suddenly produced a camera out of nowhere and clicked on it. The copy nin was grinning from ear to ear under his mask. Oh, he would keep this picture of Naruto in a safe as blackmail material later.

A Hatake always pays his debts.

A/N: Muahaha, if you haven't noticed, this chapter's title is meant to be a parody of "The Devil Wears Prada" and the last line was a parody of the Lannister's infamous quote in "Games of Throne".
