Chapter Three:Naruto:Ramen
When Team 7 was at the bridge waiting for Kakashi, a question popped into Sakura's head.
"Hey Naruto," she said.
"Yes Sakura!" Naruto said excitely that Sakura was talking to him without hitting him, yelling at him, or scolding him.
"Why do you love ramen so much?" Sakura asked.
"Huh?" Naruto asked. "Why do you want to know?"
"Just wondering," Sakura said. Naruto smiled at a memory. He remembered it like it was yesterday.
Chibi Naruto was going to the park in his chibi orange coat out in the snow. He hoped other kids would play with him today. Ho hoped he would make some new frinds.
When he got there, he saw Chibi Sakura and Chibi Ino sitting on the swings.
"Sakura-chan!" he exclaimed. He ran over to them. "How are you doing? Want to play?"
"We are waiting for Sasuke," Sakura said.
"There he is! Sasuke!" Chibi Sasuke looked at them coldly and turned to climb a tree.
"Come on Ino!" Sakura sais excitely going over to Sauke,dragging a reluctant Ino.
"See ya Sakura!" Naruto called after sadly. "Hey Shino! Want to play?"
Chibi Shino looked up from what he was doing. "No Naruto. I have to save these bugs from the cold." Shino walks near a tree to save more helpless bugs.
Naruto sighed. Then heard a loud sneeze behind him. He whirled around to find Chibi Shikamaru and Chibi Chouji playing Chinese chess.
"Hey Shikamaru and Chouji!" Naruto exclaimed. "Can I play with you guys! I know how to play Chinese chess. I've been studying it."
"Sorry Naruto," Shikamaru said sneezing again. "I told you I would catch a cold, Chouji. I'm going home now. See you both tomorrow." He waved good bye.
"Wait for me!" Chouji said running after him.
"Sayonora," Naruto sighed. Chibi Kiba walked by just then. "Hey Kiba! Want to race?"
"No can do Naruto," Kiba said. "Hey I rhymed! Anyways, Akamaru has a cold and I need to bring home this medicine bought." Kiba lifted up the bag. "See ya!"
"Bye," Naruto said sadly. Just then, he sees ChibiHinata passing by.
"Hey Hinata want to play?" Hinata looks at Naruto shyly and blushes.
"S-sorry N-Naruto," Hinata said. "I have to get home. My father ordered me to not stay out late. Bye." She quickly walks away. Naruto sits at the swing sadly and continues to ask passing kids to play with him. They all say no and walk away. Then a teen stops in front of Naruto.
"You should stop asking freak," the teen said. "You are a nobody. I hope you freeze to death, demon. I, Mizuki, will one day kill you if you are alive by the time your twelve." The teen walks away leaving a shocked and scared Naruto. When Naruto is all alone in the park, he cries himself to sleep.
A masked Jonin was passing the park reading a Come Come Paradise book when he looks up and sees Chibi Naruto.
(Isn't that)...!" the Jonin thought. "Hey kid." He shakes Naruto. "Wake up"
"Huh?" Naruto said looking up. "Who are you?"
"I am a Jonin," the Jonin said. "What are you doing out here?" He pockets his book.
"Nothing," Naruto sniffed. "Thank you for waking me up. I'll be going now." Naruto starts walking away.
"Wait a minute," said the Jonin stopping Naruto. "Why don't I buy you some ramen?"
"Ramen?" Naruto asked. "What's that?"
"You're kidding me," the Jonin said. "You don't know what ramen is?"
Naruto shakes his head. "No sir."
"Then I'll show you," the Jonin said. He took Naruto down to the Ichiraku bar. "Old man Raku," the Jonin called. "Bring me two bowls of miso ramen." "Okay pervet," the shop owner said. But stopped in his tracks when he saw Naruto. "K-k-k"
"This is Naruto," the Jonin said glaring. "Don't worry. He's harmless."
"If you say so," Raku grunted. Giving them each a bowl of ramen.
"Holy crap!" Naruto said after tasting it. "This is great! This is the best bowl of food I've ever eaten! I'm going to come here everyday for now on to eat!"
"Really!" Raku said excitely. "You like it that much?"
"Yep!" Naruto replied.
"Maybe you aren't so bad after all!" Raku said happily. After the two ate the Jonin payed for the food. "Thank you for the food sir," Naruto said.
"No prob," the Jonin said. "See you around."
"Okay," Naruto grinned friendily. "But what's your name?"
"You don't have to know," said the Jonin with a grin he disappeared in a poof of smoke.
"You know what?" Naruto said to Sakura and Sasuke. "I'm in the mood for some miso ramen."
"You always are in the mood for ramen!" Sakura said.
"Yo," said Kakashi. "I'm sorry I'm late. I was thinking about becoming a monk."
"YEAH RIGHT!" Naruto and Sakura yelled. Kakashi grinned.
