"ramen" Naruto hurried to the ramen shop. They had finished training all of the UA students, and then training with Kakashi, and he was exhausted. While they were training, they pretended not to notice the UA students watching them, but it was difficult to ignore them. They had managed to improve their taijutsu though, as it would be their greatest strength in this world. They were no match for Rock Lee in taijutsu, but good enough. The UA students marveled at how hard the foreigners worked. Their Sensei worked with Sakura, while Naruto and Sasuke fought each other. It was so fast that they couldn't even see the fight. Naruto and Sasuke were moving fast and were equally matched, but Sakura had almost no skill in taijutsu. Hey only strength in this kind of fight was from her dodging training with Lady Tsunade. Still, when she did eventually get a hit on the Hokage it took him out. Naruto and Sasuke were still fighting, and would probably be going the whole night had Kakashi not stopped and forced them to rest.

Naruto dug into his ramen and it was gone immediately. Since they were working in the shop, the shopkeeper offered free ramen, which Kakashi wisely refused for the sake of the shop, much to Naruto's disappointment.


Naruto went to the park after he was done working to hone his shurikan practice. Almost out of nowhere, he was knocked to the ground.

"What the heck?" He looked around for the assailant, finding a rather large man standing a little distance away.

"Take your toys somewhere else, boy. This is our territory." Naruto was so confused he didn't notice the others gathering in the shadows.

"Um ok fine. I mean if this is clan territory I have to respect that. Well see you around!" This time the assailant was shocked. The boy had been knocked to the ground be himself. He shouldn't be standing so easily. He's dangerous, the man thought. Without a word, he attacked Naruto again. This time though, Naruto was ready and dodged it easily. The others moved in, helping their comrade.

Naruto, use my chakra just to scare these guys. It'll be funny. Naruto grinned. Everyone shuffled back as Naruto began glowing and became more fox-like.

"Wh-what is he?" Everyone ran backwards as the nine tails extended, knocking many to the ground. Once everyone was gone, Naruto laughed. He knew he hadn't killed anyone, but he sure did scare them off.

Across town, a man in a cloak watched a small TV. The glowing power amazed him. I need this, he thought.


"Kurama, I think that was funnest I've had here. Sure those UA students are cute, but I miss the feeling of fighting, even though that wasn't much of one." Kurama laughed. Maybe we should become heroes, and do this every day until we get home. Naruto grinned.

"Maybe."


"Come in!" Principal Nezu's voice rang.

"Sir, I was wondering how we could get a liscence to become heroes." Naruto got right to the point. The grin on his face shone and Nezu couldn't help but be swayed by it.

"Well, there is a liscensing exam, and luckily you'll have just enough time to apply, but you have to be very skilled to take it. And you'll be facing a vast number of opponents. Do you think you are prepared?"

"Are we allowed to bring weapons?" Sasuke asked, looking straight in Nezu's eyes. Nezu got a chill.

"Well yes I suppose so. Just know they won't take it easy on you."

"No problem." Even though Kakashi was the leader, he sat back and let the boys handle the talking. Sakura also took a look around the room. Nezu eyed them nervously. They were so serious he didn't know what their intentions were taking the exam if they wanted to get back home. Even though the research team was doing their best to find a way, nothing was looking hopeful.


"Naruto! I heard you're taking the provisional liscensing exams!" Team 7 spun around as Midorya from class 1A came running up to them.

"Well yeah. We figured as long as we're here we might as well get comfy, you know?" Deku smiled.

"Well, I'm not supposed to tell you much about it but I think you got this one in the bag. I have an idea! We should have a big party after the exams!"

"Yeah that'd be great!" Naruto and Deku began talking excitedly. Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi couldn't understand as they were speaking so fast, so they just stood there awkwardly.

"Alright it's decided! I'll supply the ramen!"

"Naruto do you even have enough money to buy that much ramen?" Sakura interrupted. Naruto grabbed his froggy wallet.

"Umm..."

"It's ok Sakura. I'll help him pay."

"Oh you will Sasuke! I always knew you were the greatest friend!"

"-but only on the condition that I don't have to come."

"Sasuke.." Naruto slumped in defeat.

"Well. Either way see you next Friday!"

"See ya!"
