Uzumaki Naruto's life had changed a lot recently. One change was that Naruto couldn't keep up with the payments on his apartment, so he now lived with a roommate named Sora Saori. Sora was a very interesting person to say the least. He was the only ninja who changed his clothes daily for example, although he only had five different clothes; all the same style, but each a different color. Sora's "regular" clothes, or the clothes he wore the most was a black shirt with a black jacket, very baggy black pants, and overlarge yellow and black shoes. His other clothes were only single colors though: one was red, one was blue, one was yellow, and one was silver Also, Sora always went on about how he was destined to save the world from darkness. Naruto always thought it was a bunch of crap. Well, with the exception of Sora, the town of Konoha was more boring than ever. However, one day would change that all.
Naruto woke up and rubbed his eyes and sat up in his bed until he was truly awake as usual. His stomach told him it was around noon as it gave a low growl. Naruto grabbed a carton of milk from the refrigerator and a spoon and sat down at the table he would always eat his meals at. His eyes were still closed when he started eating the cottage cheese that had grown in the carton when Sora came by "…" was Sora's first impression. Finally, he spoke up: "You're eating cottage cheese out of a milk carton."
Naruto gave out an obscured "mmhmm," from his continuous eating.
Sora looked at his oddly as he put an easy mac in the microwave "cottage cheese doesn't come in a milk carton." He said
Naruto replied with an ok, and continued eating. Sora shrugged the whole situation off as he joined Naruto for lunch with his easy mac, which had taken almost no time at all to cook. As lunch progressed, another growl could be heard from Naruto's stomach. He finally opened his eyes as his face twisted into a look of discomfort "oh no. That's a bathroom growl," he said and his eyes fell to the cottage cheese "OH NO. I'VE BEEN EATING COTTAGE CHEESE! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SORA?" he yelled as he rushed to the bathroom.
Sora could only sigh. It was just another regular day in the apartment after all. After having a proper lunch, Naruto headed for the front door, but Sora called after him: "Hey Naruto, why don't you wear different clothes for once. I don't know why everyone in this village never changes, but maybe you can change that." He said and laughed "I made a pun."
Naruto agreed to change and so he put on pants that were similar to Rock Lee's and a shirt that had "Right here, right now," written on it. It was really the only other shirt he had. So, with a semi-disgusted grunt that expressed his feelings toward his clothes, Naruto left for training. On his walk through the town, many windows opened, the townspeople looking at his new clothing. Naruto ignored their stares. He didn't know what their opinions were toward his clothes, but he immediately assumed they didn't like it. He was about to head back to the apartment and change when he bumped into Hinata.
Hinata took a look at his shirt and blushed. She blushed and turned around and started poking her index fingers into each other as a sign of nervousness. This is finally my chance, she decided "Naruto. I didn't realize you wanted a girl so bad. Looks like Kakashi was right. I'll go and agree to the terms right now. Thank you Naruto. You've helped me become more confident of myself," she said mumbling.
"What did you say? You're always mumbling. Nothing important I'm sure. However, could you tell me if I look good in these clothes? I've always trusted your judgment. You've helped me out a lot before you know," he stated.
Hinata blushed "me…help you? I…never realized. By the way, those clothes are nice. Would you like me to wear anything in particular for you?" she asked, wondering where all this courage was coming from, then she remembered what she did with Kakashi and quietly giggled. She remembered that there was in fat a reason behind her newfound confidence
Naruto took her sexual euphemism as a joke and decided to play along as well, especially since he could hear her giggle after she had asked the question. "sure. I would like nothing better. I want you to real something real revealing. Just for me, ok?" he asked with a wink.
With another giggle, Hinata agreed, and was on her way to her own training. As Naruto walked through the village, he saw a lot of people outside the town hall. Naruto decided to ask someone what was going on.
"Apparently, there's a monster around town. We keep trying to tell people it's a jutsu, but they just wont listen," the person said
"Wow. A real ghost! I'm going to hunt him down and begin my legacy as savior of Konoha, because I'm Uzumaki Naruto, the next Hokage. Believe It!" he said with a grin, thrusting his fist into the air.
The person punched him on the head "my God! I'm so sick and tired of that catch phrase. We don't hate you because you're the nine tailed fox. We hate you for your phrase and for your voice," the person said, growing ten times in size. Naruto slinked away to avoid this crazy person, and made his way to the training site.
Naruto finally got to the site where Kakashi had told them to meet. Kakashi wasn't there yet as always. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura decided to do some training before Kakashi got there. After a few hours, Kakashi arrived, but there were many townspeople with torches behind him. "Uhh…Naruto, I may have done something for you without your consent. It has to do with Hinata." He said
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura looked at Kakashi oddly. Kakashi seemed oddly mellow for having obviously done something wrong. It was like how Kakashi's eyes would suddenly go emotionless and make him look mellow. "Oh right. The mob behind me. Yeah…that has to do with Hinata as well…and something else. Maybe I ought to just explain myself," he said
Author's Note: It's a bit short, but I couldn't exactly include too much with out spoiling
Next Chapter: What is it that Kakashi did and what is the significance of a ghost, and does that have anything to do with the story's title? All this and more…on the next…Dragon ball Z. Err…I mean Naruto
