The Only Thing Better Than Ramen

Sequel to A Heart In Need Of Healing

Naruto Uzumaki smiled as he walked down the street in Konoha, he had used the entire morning to perfect the Molten Sphere jutsu, a gift from Mei Terumi herself.

Just then, Naruto heard the all-too familiar shrill of his unrequited love's voice.

With a sullen look, Naruto turned around and faces the pinkette, his cerulean eyes were no longer filled with the happiness that they had, they were- cold.

"What do you want?" Naruto asked.

Naruto's tone was decidedly colder than Sakura had expected,

"Naruto, you weren't at the team meeting this morning, where were you?"

Naruto scoffs.

"Why does it matter to you? It's not like we are friends or anything." Naruto said coldly.

Sakura blanched, her emerald eyes widened at her teammate.

"Naruto, d-did you just say that you and I are not friends?" Sakura asked in shock.

Naruto said nothing before walking away.

Sakura was looking at the blonde as he walked away, tears fell from her eyes.

'Naruto is not my friend anymore?' Sakura thought dejectedly.

After a relaxing meal at Ichiraku's, Naruto heads to the Hokage Tower, he knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in." Naruto heard Tsunade say.

Opening the door, Naruto entered the office, smiling at the Beautiful Hokage who is seated at her desk, hard at work signing papers while her Clones were running to and fro.

"Excuse me, Tsunade-sama, do you need me for anything?" the blonde Jinchuriki inquired.

Tsunade looks up from her work, a gorgeous smile on her face.

"Hello Naruto-kun, I hope you slept well and had a good time with us." Tsunade said, a blush warming her cheeks.

"Oh yes, Hokage-sama, I slept marvelously and I did indeed enjoy my night with you, Hinata-chan, and Mei-sama." Naruto said with a blush.

Tsunade chuckles lightly before pulling out a requisition form.

"Naruto, the Mizukage has asked for your presence in her Village, there is a very important banquet coming up and Mei wants you to be her date, are you OK with this?" the Hokage inquired.

Naruto smiled and nods fiercely.

"I'm happy to be the Mizukage's date." Naruto said.

Suddenly the door burst open and in rushed Mei and then Naruto was crushed against the tremendous bust of the auburn haired woman, not that he was complaining.

"Oh Naruto-kun, you're a life saver, I didn't think you would have agreed. " said Mei.

"I'm happy...t- to h- help, Mei-sama." Naruto said as he gasped between breaths.

Tsunade laughed at the spectacle. Mei smiled at Tsunade who winked at her.

"Um Mei-sama, when do we leave for your village?" Naruto asked.

"In two days, Naruto-kun, but until then I've got more pressing plans for you and they can't wait." Mei said, her beautiful eyes sparkling with lust.

Timeskip - 1 week later,Kirigakure no Sato

Naruto adjusted his black tie as he prepared to meet Mei for the banquet, he was still smiling at the fact that Mei had actually chosen him to be his date. He wouldn't disappoint her.

Kirigakure is having their annual Christmas party in the new Banquet Hall, everyone that is there is having a nice time, then Mei and Naruto walk into the room, effectively garnering all of the attention of the other guests.

Mei nuzzled closer to Naruto as he received looks from men, which bordered on hateful and from some of the women, longing to pure lust, which made the blonde blush.

"Be careful, Naruto-kun, we women of Kiri are very adept at seduction." Mei whispered.

"I'm fine, Mei-chan, besides looking around, I can't find a single attractive woman."

"H-how can y-you say-?" Mei said, but she was stopped when Naruto leaned in and whispered into her left ear.

"Because Mei-chan, you are the most beautiful woman here, believe it." he says with a smile, Mei blushed furiously at Naruto's compliment
