Theme 2 : Enthusiasm

"Hey, hey- Sensei! Can we take a break? It's time for lunch- dattebayo!" Wide, blue eyes peered hopefully up at him, the other two genin stopping to look at him.

Kakashi huffed, "I don't suppose I'll be getting any work out of you until you're fed, hmm? Anything in mind?"

"Ramen!" Naruto cheered, teammates rolling their eyes but looking resigned as the blond started leading the way.

"Oi! Lemon-head! It's break time!" He blinked when red hair covered his vision as the kunoichi snatched him up. "Let's get lunch- dattebane!"

His resigned "Hello Kushina-san" was drowned out by Sensei's protest of, "You can't just steal my student whenever you feel like it, Kushina."

"It's not stealing." The Uzumaki scoffed, "I'm making sure he gets fed so he won't end up like a stick-person like you." She said, marching off as the blond sputtered a bit at the insult. "So, what do you want to eat, 'Kashi-kun?"

Kakashi started saying "I want-" before the kunoichi cut him off with, "Let's get ramen! That'll be good for you!"

"Ayame! Can I get three bowls of...hm...chashumen!" Naruto called, seating himself.

The girl smiled at the genin, "Sure thing! What about the rest of you?"

"The usual miso." Kakashi said after the two others muttered their own choices (shoyu for Sakura and tonkotsu for Sasuke).

"Ojisan! Can I get three bowls of chashumen!?" Kushina called, depositing him in a chair before sitting herself beside him.

"Alright," the man laughed, looking towards him. "You want the same kind as last time, Kakashi-kun?" At his nod the man turned towards Sensei, who'd followed them. "What about you?"

"Ah." the blond floundered a moment before saying, "I'll try a regular shio, I guess?"

Kakashi broke his chopsticks, silently wondering if Uzumaki were bred to have such...enthusiasm for ramen.


It was going to be something to do with Gai but, well, then I got hungry and thought "Ramen".
