"Ok Genins and Shikamaru, this week Ichiraku Ramen are holding a competition to see who could make the Number One Ramen!!!" announced Iruka "The person who makes the best ramen will be rewarded..."

"4th prize, a signed copy of Icha Icha Paradise" Kakashi said, holding up a copy of the book with "Jiraiya" scribbled on it, ignoring the fact that was a very obvious 18+ sign on the book.

"3rd prize is a brand new green spandex suit, so your youthful glow will burn brighter than the sun!!! It also comes with a Bonus Gai sticker!!!" yelled Gai while Lee pisses himself in excitement.

"2nd prize, Shikamaru's Chuunin vest, with its Shikamaru-ish features and Shikamaru-like looks, you'll love it!!!" Asuma exclaimed while hugging the vest "Not only that, it also SMELLS like Shikamaru" he added breathing in deeply.

"But it doesn't mean you're a Chuunin, it only means you're a Genin wearing Shikamaru's clothes" Kurenai said.

"…" said Shikamaru.

"And the 1st prize is 100 coupons for Ichiraku Ramen!!!" the Jounins exclaimed crossing their fingers behind their backs.

"Do we have to enter the competition?" Neji asked.

"Oh yes, if you don't, you can't enter the Chuunin exams!!!" Gai replied "And it also means, you forfeited and Lee wins!!!"

"Yosh!!! If I can't win against Neji, I'll run 200 laps around Konoha and if I can't do that, I'll do 500 push-ups!!!" Lee cried, tears streaming down his face.

"OH LEE!!!" Gai exclaimed giving him a punch.

"GAI!!!" Lee gasped, as his face began bruising up.

"LEE!!!" Gai said again with outstretched arms.

"GAI!!!" Lee screamed as they leap into each other's arms crying and screaming with youthfulness, as a scene of the sunset fell behind them.

Neji turned around and walked away muttering something about "This is all the main house's fault…"

Tenten sighed, wondering how psychotic this week was gonna turn out to be and why the hell was the sun setting when it was the morning.

"This is so troublesome" Shikamaru muttered while he stared at the clouds wishing that his teachers weren't so psychotic.

"Shikamaru, DO THIS FOR YOUR CHUUNIN-NESS!!!" Asuma exclaimed beaming at Shikamaru.

"I'm going to win Shikamaru's vest no matter what," said Chouji with a look determination in his eyes "I'm going to make the BEST RAMEN EVER!!!"

"Chouji, if you made the best ramen ever, you wouldn't get Shikamaru's vest because that's 2nd prize" Ino pointed out.

"Then I'll make the 2ND BEST RAMEN EVER!!!" Chouji corrected.

Shikamaru sighed, wondering how he was going to get his vest back.

"I fully expect you 3 to win this ramen competition, by looking underneath the underneath" Kakashi said while reading You-Know-What.

"I'm going to make the best ramen and dedicate it to Sasuke-kun!!!" Sakura said, hoping to impress Sasuke, but of course Sasuke was practically ignoring her.

"Shannaro!!! I'll force feed Sasuke if I have to!!!" shouted Inner Sakura.

"I'm going to beat Sasuke!!! And then take Sakura-chan out to eat with the coupons I won!!!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Hmmph, as if YOU could EVER beat me dobe, I AM the Number ONE rookie" Sasuke smirked waving his "Number One Rookie" badge around.

"I demand you to fight me right now!!! C'mon!!! Bring it on!!!" shouted Naruto.

"Baka Naruto!!! Sasuke can completely beat the crap out of you!!!" yelled Sakura while she bashes the crap out of Naruto.

Kakashi sighed, as he returned to reading Icha Icha Paradise.

"Alright Akamaru!!!" Kiba yelled "Those coupons would be ours in no time!!!"

"So Shino, any ideas what kind of ramen you're going to cook?" Kurenai asked.

"Ramen," said Shino.

"What kind of ramen?" repeated Kurenai.

"Ramen."

"Yea, but what flavour?"

"Ramen."

"Ramen mixed with what?"

"Ramen."

"Ok…"

Hinata sighed, wondering what ramen Naruto would like best.
