I woke up the next morning bright and early. "What am I going to make for dinner today? I need to make a run into the village. Let's see what I need…" I said to myself grabbing a piece of paper and pencil. "I need chocolate and flour and I need my knives sharpened and I need spaghetti noodles and I need more chicken…" I started rattling stuff off to write down.
I chose my clothes a little differently, since I was going into the village and not into the fields this morning. I didn't wear my usual brown yucky clothes, instead I slipped on a tight blue v-neck tank top with black legging capris. I tied my bright red hair into a braid that wrapped over my left shoulder and ended just under my larger than normal breasts. My caramel eyes stared at my reflection in the mirror and I figured I was satisfied. So I threw my wallet into the front pocket of my backpack, locked up my cottage, locked my gates, and started on the path to the Leaf Village.
"Welcome back, Sayuri." Izumo Kamizuki greeted from the gates of the village.
"What brings you into the village today?" Kotetsu Hagane asked.
"Just a little low on some supplies" I said with a smile.
So I started my walk on the main road deeper into the village to get to all the shops and such. It was still really early, maybe eight thirty so the streets were yet to be busy. Which was to my benefit, so I could get in the village and out. I went to the noodle shop first and with the intention to get spaghetti noodles, I also came out with potato gnocchis also with an idea of what I was going to make for dinner. Although it just added to the stuff I needed to get while I was in the village. Next I made a stop at the nearest supermarket for milk, flour, and chocolate. After that, it was near noon and I was headed to the butchers so I could get my meats, but I got stopped at the Yamanaka Flower Shop when I noticed they were selling fruit seeds.
"Oh, hey Sayuri" Someone said from inside the shop. It was the pink hair kunoichi that stopped by the other day.
"Oh hello! Nice to see you again!" I replied to her.
"What brings you into town?" She asked.
"Well, I'm getting some things that I ran out of. I was on the way to the butcher shop, but I noticed there are fruit seeds for sell, and I just can't pass that up!" I replied.
"Ino! Someone is here to buy some seeds." The pink hair kunoichi shouted into the shop. And a blonde female with pupil less baby blue eyes wearing an apron came out.
"What can I get you?" Asked who I assumed was Ino.
"I just need some strawberry seeds and watermelon seeds."
"Ino, this is Sayuri, the girl Naruto and I were talking about the other day."
"Oh, so you're the one that tamed Naruto's large stomache?"
"I wouldn't say I tamed him. I just fed him some homemade stew."
"Homemade stew?"
"Yeah, I grow my own fruits, vegetables, and herbs outside the village. Then I make a huge pot of whatever I can think of and if there's some friendly folks on the way to the village, I offer some food. There's no possible way I can eat all of anything I make!"
"Then why do you make so much?" The pink hair kunoichi asked.
"Because I like to see happy faces of people who eat my food!" I said with a large smile.
"Well it certainly was delicious" and in popped the blond hair ninja.
"Well thank you! You all are more than welcome to come back! It may be a small house, but there is always plenty of food to go around!" I said, that big smile still on my face.
"What do you have cooking tonight?!" the blond asked with excitement.
"I'm making Spinach Gnocchi Soup! If I ever get to the butcher before they close."
"Well, then let's go!" the blond said, lifting me onto his back.
"Let's go!" I choked out between giggles.
"Hold it, Naruto! You can't just go inviting yourself to someone else's house for dinner!" the pink hair kunoichi scolded.
"It's no trouble, really. I don't mind, I like the extra company!"
"Well then lets invite all of Team Ten and Seven!" Naruto exclaimed.
"The more the merrier!" I agreed.
"Well Kiba's team and Neji's team are on missions, so it looks like it'll be Ten and Seven."
"Sooo how many people is that?" I said in a pouty voice trying to figure out how much to make.
"Uhhhhhhh…." The blond, Naruto I presume, deadpanned. "Six. I think."
"Well, then let's meet at six at my place!"
Meanwhile in the background, Ino was bagging up Sayuri's seeds and Sakura was watching Naruto with an annoyed expression on her face at Naruto inviting everyone over to someone else's house.
"Well, are you going to go, Sakura?" Ino asked.
"Probably. They're both too excited to say no to."
"Well, I guess I have to tell Shikamaru and Choji to come too, then. Choji will be thrilled."
"What about Shikamaru?" Sakura asked.
"He'll tag along because Choji will be going."
"Well that's good." Sakura stated. She watched Sayuri and Naruto talk back and forth about tonight's gathering at her little cottage.
"To the butcher!" Sakura heard Sayuri shout out with a childish grin on her face. Then Naruto was off running down the street with Sayuri clinging onto his back with her arms around his neck.
"Well, I better take my lunch break to go tell the other two about tonight's gathering. Should we meet at the gates of the village?" Ino asked.
"Yeah, that'll work." Sakura said.
Ino went into the back of the shop to tell her manager she was taking her lunch break, so Sakura went off to find Sai and tell him of the offer of dinner for the farm girl.
