Thank you, again, TimeShifter and Dragon Man 180, and now, lunarangel is constantly reviewing. I also thank warprince2000 for reviewing Chapter 5.

I sometimes wonder why I have three constant reviewers: TimeShifter, Dragon Man 180, and lunarangel, when this fic is on 11 favorite stories and 5 story alerts. Review, please! Arigato Gozaimasu!

Also a big thank you to tuareg shinobi, because she is a good friend of mine who is also reading this fanfic. HI TUAREG SHINOBI!

Sorry for not updating in a while, because, having Asian parents, I have to finish up work before I can do other stuff, such as write.

No questions in my puny four reviews and my one review for chapter 1, so onto Chapter 6!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Ajisen Ramen.
Chapter 6

Suddenly, the man drew the knife across Hinata's neck, drawing huge amounts of blood from her neck artery. The red liquid splashed across the man's arm, and he smiled while waving his blood-covered knife.

Naruto, in a rage, snarled and released an insane amount of Kyuubi's chakra, allowing his nails to lengthen. In one huge roar, he was immediately behind the man, skewering him with long claws...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was pretty fun, but we all know that Hinata gets saved by Naruto and a few other people, and a little romantic moment blossoms out of the danger of the situation. Here's the real chapter six:

Chapter 6

'…One…Two…Three!'

Hinata swerved around and placed a palm strike directly into the man's stomach. She, however, did not release much chakra into the attack, knowing that too much chakra would both kill him and would attract attention from the blue energy that would be visible to (af-s: I can't find the right term here-- ) civilians.

The man reeled back from the blow, yet evidently, he was not harmed enough and charged after the girl, who was afraid that she would show off ninja techniques in her attempt to defeat the enemy.

Hinata lightly activated her Byakugan, only allowing the veins closest to her eyes to bulge out, which would be enough to increase her vision to 180 degrees, yet would not attract attention from the civilians.

The man came in with a knife thrust, his eyes bloodshot and full of anger. Hinata deflected it with a palm strike, yet before she could lash out again, Naruto and Neji, who had immediately reacted to the situation, appeared directly in front of the man, with Neji's white eyes full of anger. Some of Neji's veins around his eyes had simply "popped" out due to his anger. Naruto was yelling madly as he brought his knee up to the man's place where the sun don't shine (af-s: Actually, Dragon Man 180, I had this in mind even before you sent your review).

All of the men watching the fight winced and unconsciously twitched, except for, of course, Neji and Naruto, who were too angry.

The man reeled backwards, howling loudly and clutching his groin. Jiraiya chose this moment to say under his breath, "He won't be having any children sometime soon…"

Neji immediately dealt three quick palm strikes as Naruto finished him with a strong uppercut, which sent the unfortunate man crashing to the floor, already unconscious.

Hinata stared first at the half-dead man, then looked up at Naruto and Neji, who were both panting lightly and staring suspiciously at the unconscious man, as though he would suddenly get back up and attack again.

Everyone at the airport merely stared at Naruto, Neji, and Hinata, who were all looking sheepishly at the crowd of bewildered folks. Tsunade buried her face with her hands, moaning at their display of ninja-ness.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU GUYS WERE DOING!"

The 12 chuunins cringed at the Hokage's evident anger. They had just been interrogated by the police, who were asking for details about the man. They had just gotten out of the airport and were waiting outside for their ride. Evidently, the police, as well as the countless spectators, were astounded that three 13-year-olds could easily and calmly beat up a knife-wielding madman.

Naruto, the only one brave enough to stand up to the Hokage's temper tantrums, yelled back in equal force, "WELL, ME AND NEJI WERE TRYING TO SAVE HINATA!"

Tsunade responded, "WELL, YOU COULD HAVE DONE IT MORE DISCREETLY!"

Naruto shouted, "HOW COULD WE DO THAT!"

Tsunade yelled, "MAYBE BY NOT DODGING EVERY FRICKIN' KNIFE STAB, LOOKING AS THOUGH YOU WERE FIGHTING A THREE-YEAR OLD!"

Hinata tried to intervene, "Ano, Tsunade-sama, Naruto-kun, gomen, but a lot of people are staring at us."

Tsunade looked around to see a bunch of people glancing at them.

"Excuse me, but I would like to see your passports, please. Your friend here is dressed quite suspiciously, and we need to see some identification, as a security measure," said a cop, coming out of nowhere and gesturing at Shino, who was glaring at the officer for deeming him suspicious.

Tsunade groaned while thinking, 'How could I have been so stupid! America's all freaked out about terrorism, and here, I had the stupidity to bring along an Aburame to an airport!'

Tsunade explained, "We don't have passports; we just came from Miami. None of us have traveled outside of the US." (af-s: Of course, she's lying, she's not going to tell that she just came from an island filled with shinobis.)

The officer said, "Well, I need some confirmation that you guys are not dangerous."

Tsunade reached into her bag and fished around until she pulled out a folder, which held a document. She handed this to the officer, who read it and nodded his head, saying, "Thank you, ma'am, I suppose this will pass as confirmation. Have a nice day."

Sakura stared at Tsunade, who was stuffing the folder back into her bag. "What was that paper?"

Tsunade grinned and said, "I've got some connections with high-ranking government officials who are ex-Konoha shinobis. Basically, the paper says that we all under the government's protection. It's a backup in case we run into legal problems."

Sasuke said, "Hn, can we just go already? There seems to be a transport for us."

Sure enough, there was some middle-aged guy sitting in a charter bus, waving to Tsunade and Jiraiya. The two Sannin waved back, and motioned for the 12 chuunin to board the bus.

As they got in, the bus driver looked at Jiraiya expectantly. Jiraiya sighed and pulled out eight Icha Icha books from his bag and handed them to the driver, who grinned and accepted them.

Naruto glared at Jiraiya, who sheepishly grinned. "Ero-Sennin, you pay this guy in Icha Icha books!"

Jiraiya smiled and said, "Hey, he asked for them. Besides, he's an ex-Konoha shinobi and hasn't read my books in a couple of years, and it's hard to mail stuff from our village, so he's been missing out."

Naruto groaned and sat down next to Hinata, who blushed and looked out the window, tapping her fingers together.

After a bus trip filled with fluffy NaruHina moments, the bus finally stopped in a nice looking neighborhood. Tsunade herded them out of the bus, and the driver left, cackling as he clutched his beloved books.

Tsunade looked at the chuunin and said, "Welcome to La Jolla (af-s: Pronounced "luh hoya", it's Spanish, and it's not pronounced "luh jaula"), one of the nicest places in San Diego. You're lucky that you guys get to stay here, and Konoha's paying for the expenses of housing and food. However, I want costs to be kept to a minimum, and keep in mind that our village is paying, so lower the costs for our beloved Hidden Leaf. I have paid a nearby grocery store to send you guys groceries every week or so. Every thing has been taken care of, so don't worry about anything.

"So, let's walk into your new home."

Tsunade gestured at a nice looking, two story, which seemed average-sized. When they walked in, however, they saw that it was huge.

Tsunade explained, "There are six bedrooms, four upstairs and two downstairs. The girls will be staying downstairs, the guys will be staying upstairs. I don't care how the sleeping arrangements are, just no boys sleeping in the same rooms as the girls.

"There are two bathrooms upstairs and two bathrooms downstairs. The kitchen is over here, I will leave you guys up to the cooking, as you will not be getting catered food.

"This is the living room, where there is a TV, with cable, and a couple of couches and other stuff.

"Essentially, this is a pretty plain house, large enough to accommodate you, but not fancy because there is no need. You are to leave this house intact because you are living in it. No jutsus inside unless it's an absolute emergency, as in a life-threatening event.

"There is a genjutsu set up around the whole house so that any jutsus or chakra cannot be seen by outside eyes. However, should a non-shinobi walk inside the boundaries of this house, they will be able to see jutsus and chakra.

"I am expecting you all to maintain all of your own training while I am gone, because you still have to be alert for Sound-nins. Do not ever invite someone into this house. There is also a security alarm system that will prevent any intrusions during the night.

"Overall, keep yourselves safe, and refrain from letting the outside world know about shinobis. Keep living costs as low as possible. Any questions?"

Naruto immediately spoke up, "Will the grocery store provide ramen?"

Tsunade sighed and said, "I have provided for you, Naruto, a couple of packets of ramen each week. Unfortunately, there are almost no ramen restaurants in America, yet there is one called Ajisen Ramen (af-s: This place really does exist, except I don't know whether a location exists in San Diego. Let's pretend that one does. Ajisen pwns all, try the Tenderous Ribs Ramen. There is definitely one around Los Angeles and New York as well as other major cities and a bunch of them in Asian countries, such as Japan, China, and Indonesia.). I'll give you the address; it's pretty close by.

"Any other questions?"

Sasuke asked, "How will we be doing training? We don't have our senseis to instruct us or anything."

Tsunade answered, "A good question, you will have scrolls mailed to you about once or twice every month, explaining what training you must do. Each of your senseis will give you some training on either ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu, depending on what they believe you need to work on. Any other questions?"

Tsunade looked around and received no response.

"Alright, well, I did tell you guys to leave all of your shinobi clothes, except for your undergarments, back in Konoha, so we are going to go shopping to a local shopping mall for American clothes. First, choose a bedroom and a bunkmate and unpack all of your stuff that you brought, such as weapons, scrolls, and whatever you guys brought."

Naruto looked around to see if any of the boys would voluntarily stay with him. However, it seemed that, while the girls had almost immediately picked who they would stay with (Ino with Sakura, Hinata with Tenten), the boys seemed a little hesitant.

Tsunade looked at the boys, then said, "Alright, for the boys, each will stay with his own teammate. You can change the arrangements once I leave, but this will make it easier."

Sasuke, Shino, and Neji each looked at their own teammate and said simultaneously, "I really don't want to stay with Naruto/Kiba/Lee."

Tsunade sighed and said, "Well, tough luck, deal with it. Anyways, you will staying with this person in Las Vegas, as well, but once you get back here, you can switch the arrangements."

Tsunade then opened the suitcase that held everyone's weapons and scrolls, and each person took out his or her weapon pouches and other ninja accessories. Naruto brought his stuff up, where he met Sasuke, who said, "Hn. We're going to stay in that room over there, Naruto-dobe."

Naruto yelled at Sasuke, who replied with his usual "Hn", and they both met everyone else downstairs.

"Alright, everyone, we are going to head for the shopping mall. We'll walk there," said Tsunade.

So the 12 chuunin and the two Sannin headed for the nearby shopping mall.

Next chapter: Should I depict them at the shopping mall or should I skip ahead to Vegas? Choose in your reviews!
