Ramen Bowl 7
Ah yes, Christmas edged closer to Konoha, and the winter snow blew ever so harder. Many people including ninjas were sick and "sick" at home due to the weather and the festivities. Many holiday banners and colorful hangings of the holiday went up over many living quarters and shopping plazas.
The Ramen Bar was spared no mercy. The roof was decked out with a plastic that was sitting on a little red plastic sleigh that was being "pulled " by three little brown reindeers, the lead one had a blinking red nose. The edges of the roof had strings of Christmas lights blinking every so often, a few burnt out, but left untouched. The interior walls was strung across with long lines of tinsels and small shiny globes. But the kitchen itself and the counters remained untouched.
The strangest thing is that the Ramen Bar's most festive and bright object was not owned by the owner. That most festive and bright object was Rock Lee, who was bouncing up and down on his round seat next to Neji, who was rubbing his temples so much that it looked like he had his Byuugakan activated, even though it wasn't.
Rock Lee wasn't dressed in his usual green attire, instead, his entire body was covered in bright red, and he had a Santa cap that was to small for him. His entire body shook with vigor as he exploded into another burst of energy.
"YOSH! All right Neji-san! You said that if I followed you, you would fight me! Come on! Let's go!" Lee stomped his feet repeatedly and rapidly on the ground until a pile of dust rose up to Neji and Lee's nose.
"Stop it! You're making my shop dusty!" shouted the Ramen Bar owner as he smacked Lee over the head with his bare hands.
Lee immediately stopped and hopped two feet back, bowing down low to the Ramen Bar Owner, his vigor dispersed, "GOMEN NASAI!"
"Hmph, its fine, just stop making so much noise, your just like that other weird guy that was here yesterday…" snorted the Ramen Bar owner as he want back to cutting up some vegetables.
Rock Lee quietly and meekly tiptoed back to his seat and sat down with a small oomph.
A few seconds laters…..
"NEJI! I DEMAND YOU GIVE ME THAT MATCH RIGHT NOW!"
Neji's eyes twitched and he had half a mind to shut down half of the chakra points in Lee's mouth.
"Hey! What's all the commotion about?"
Lee and Neji both turned to find Sasuke and Naruto standing there, staring at the two of them with a raised eye.
Sasuke muttered, "I'm here,"
"What do you mean you're here?" stammered Neji through clenched teeth, "This was your idea in the first place!"
"What idea?" questioned Lee suddenly.
"Oh shut up thick brows," cut in Naruto, he turned to Sasuke, "So where's the unlimited Ramen you promised me?"
"Er…," said Sasuke looking sideways, "let's wait for Shino first; he'll pay for your ramen."
"Yeah...," thought Neji, "you too Lee…wait for Shino…he'll fight in my place…"
"But I wanted to fight you!"
"Eh…if you beat him…you basically beat me."
"How? That makes no sense!"
"Uh…because we're both in clans!"
"Really?"
"Yes…"
"Wow…I never knew that…you learn something new everyday!" cheered Lee.
Sasuke smirked at Lee's idiocy and turned away, Shino should be coming any minute now…
Naruto banged the counter at where he had seated himself. "I want ramen now!"
"You'll get it when Shino comes!"
"NO! I want it NOW!"
Shino suddenly hopped down from a tree with Kiba trailing behind him.
"Sorry," said Shino coolly as he pushed up his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, "It took me a while to convince Kiba to come…"
Kiba was slouching behind Shino and hiding. Everybody looked behind Shino to find Kiba shivering and looking around ever so often with Akamaru huddled up and also shivering in his jacket.
"What's his problem?" asked Neji.
"I told him that his family wanted to nuder him…"
"Shino…are you sure this is a safe spot? I mean my family has pretty good noses…" whimpered Kiba.
Everybody looked away and pretended to hear nothing.
"All right," started Neji, "so what was this challenge you issued us about?"
"Well…I just wanted to prove to you two that my partner is the most annoying and idiotic." Said Sasuke while smirking his almighty smirk.
"……."Shino was silent.
"What? You try working on an undercover mission with this green…er…red "beat of Konoha" freak and see what happens to your fingers!" yelled Neji.
"Oh whatever, I obviously have the worst teammate, I mean he was trying to make ramen while we were two feet away from some Mist guards!"
"So what? Mine tried to hug our quarry once right before Tenten unleashed her scrolls! It took my team four hours to take out all those kunais and senbon needles out of his ass!"
"………,"Shino was still silent.
"I had to save mine because he was chasing a fish off a waterfall once!"
"Well, mine tried to write some scroll jutsus…"
"And?"
"Do you even know why my hands and legs are bandaged?"
"Well, I have curse seal!"
"So do I!"
"My family was slaughtered by my brother!"
"My uncle killed my father!"
Sasuke and Neji bickered over things now that were no longer related to their original argument. All the while, Lee and Naruto was giving each other sad and depressed looks as Sasuke and Neji bad-mouthed them as though they weren't even there. As for Shino, he was still silent, and Kiba ran off attempting to find a better hiding spot.
"I HAVE A HANGNAIL!" roared Neji as he flipped Sasuke off with his middle finger, which did have a hangnail in fact.
"WELL! I HAVE A SUNBURN ON MY NECK!" hollered Sasuke as he pulled by his hair to show his burnt and peeled neck.
Neji suddenly slapped Sasuke's neck and Sasuke pulled out Neji's hangnail with all his might. They both yelped in pain and they got into a strange tussle.
Suddenly Shino spoke and all was quiet.
"Mine tried to sniff my ass once."
"…….," Sasuke was silent.
"…….," Neji was silent.
"…….," Naruto was silent.
"…….," Lee was silent.
Everything was quiet, even the Ramen Bar owner stopped his chopping of vegetables and everybody was staring at Shino.
"I take it I win than…," Shino said quietly.
Lee's small hat fell to the ground.
"Yeah…that was pretty bad…I wouldn't want Naruto sniffing my ass, " said Sasuke disgustedly.
"Why would I sniff your ass anyways? It's the same thing as your face!"
Sasuke ignored him because of the fact that he couldn't think of a better insult than that at the moment.
"Yeah…that is pretty wrong…I mean…Lee's all ready brown-nosing Gai-sensei…I don't want to get myself on him…"
"What's brown-nosing?" questioned Lee innocently.
Sasuke and Neji gave each other a look and hurriedly walked off into opposite directions, hoping not to deal with their teammates' randomness.
A few silent awkward minutes later…..
Shino, Naruto and Lee were left, and they kept on staring at each other. The wind blew again and snow started falling very lightly. Shino stepped gently under the coverings of the Ramen Bar and brushed off the light snow that has fallen on him.
Lee gave a shout of joy and went out to catch snow flakes on his tongue while saying something about youth pride.
Naruto stared at Lee for a moment and than spoke slowly to Shino.
"I want to start off with five bowls of spicy octopus ramen first…"
"What?" asked Shino politely.
"You're buying me ramen…"
"What led you to that conclusion?"
"Sasuke said so…"
Shino contemplated over this and decided that it wouldn't hurt to buy Naruto, an old Academy friend/student some cheap ramen.
"Fine…."stated Shino promptly.
"Suddenly Lee rushed over and shouted at Shino, "WAIT! BEFORE YOU DO! FIGHT ME!"
"Why should I?"
"Because Neji said to fight you in his stead!"
Shino also contemplated over this and decided that a friendly spar amongst peers would cause no harm.
Little did Shino know about the troubles that were about to start…
A few hours later…
"Did you hear?" said one civilian to another.
"Hear what?"
"That the Aburame clan has waged war against the last Uchiha survivor and the Hyuuga clan."
"Wow! Really? What for?'
"Apparently they went broke due to something the Uchiha prodigy did and also one of their heirs is in the hospital currently under intense care due to what one of the Hyuugas did."
"Wow, do you think we should do something?"
"Nah, our Hokage will take care of it…"
THE END
Wow…that was like really really really long! Lol…you guys can tell that the next chapter is going to be on the Hokage…Ok, one minor note…I'm not to specific about what time period this is during…so say that the 5th and 4th are somehow coexisting…but there is still only 1 hokage…even though they both are in control…don't worry…I'll only have one pop up at a time at the proper moments…sorry if your confused about this….
