I do not own Naruto!

-Chapter 4-

"Hey! LET ME GO!" Naruto cried out angrily. He was strapped to a hospital bed. Across the room stood Tsunade, Sakura, Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru, who sweat dropped as they watched the hyperactive blond struggle against his bonds.

"Hey! This isn't fair! I didn't get to eat my coffee-ramen!"

The group shuddered at the mention of the coffee ramen. They couldn't believe that Naruto was going to EAT that!

Ignoring the loud struggling blond as he squirmed and shouted, Tsunade turned to Sakura, who quickly explained how she had tried to get Naruto a "new food obsession" and that he had discovered coffee.

"He's even gone as far as to buy an entire coffee stash!" Sakura exclaimed worriedly.

The more Sakura described the situation, the more Tsunade could feel a headache coming on.

Tsunade bit her lip.

She was one of the three legendary Sannin. She was one of the best medical-nin in the history of medic-nin! She was THE Tsunade hokage, fifth hokage of the hidden village of the leaves!

But in all of her years as a medic nin, she had only seen one other person with a coffee-case as bad as this.

And that had been none other than Kushina Uzumaki.

"The ramen doesn't splash far from bowl," she thought.

xxXxx

"Eww!" Ino squealed as she looked at the bowl of coffee-ramen, "I can't believe he was going to eat that!"

Sakura grabbed a chopstick and poked the surface of the ramen. As the chopstick created ripples in the black broth, all of them recoiled backwards in disgust as if it were alive.

Choji, although disgusted by the thought of coffee and ramen together, was curious as to what it tasted like. His clan, the akimichi clan, specialized in food after all.

"It can't be that bad," he said out loud as he shakily picked up the chopsticks and hesitantly brought the coffee-infused ramen noodles up to his mouth.

Sakura, Ino, and Shikamaru stared at Choji, who had just swallowed some of the coffee-ramen. Meanwhile, Choji immediately regretted his actions. The savoury taste of the ramen clashed horribly with the bitter-sweet taste of the coffee, and the milk, instead of making it creamy, was curdling! His face became more and more green. Never before had he tasted anything so terrible. His eyes started watering as he felt bile rise to his throat.

"Aaahhh!" he cried as he ran towards the bathroom.

Ino and Sakura looked worried as their friend and teammate ran away screaming.

Shikamaru just sighed. "Troublesome..."

xxXxx

"Hehehehe..." Naruto laughed as he snuck to the room where he knew his coffee-ramen was being stored.

When he had been struggling in bed, he had heard one of the nurses passing by talking about how a "Cursed coffee ramen made that poor Choji sick!" He heard that it had been moved to room 149 for analysis and to check for toxins.

After ten minutes of struggling, he finally managed to escape from the bed and sneak to room 149.

When he entered though, he was shocked at the sight he saw.

Two medic nin, wearing full-body hazmat suits stood above a table where his coffee-ramen was. He could smell the 'delicious' ramen from where he stood.

But he was horrified when one of the medic-nin picked up the bowl with a giant pair of tongs while the other one sealed it into a scroll that had the symbols for 'danger' and 'toxic waste' written on the top.

"Good riddance," one of them said. "If anyone ate something so terrible they probably would have gotten sick."

But Naruto, having lost his coffee-ramen, just kept staring with a look of horror on his face. "NOOOO!" he yelled to the air. "MY COFFEE RAMEN!"

xxXxx

Naruto couldn't believe his luck. After he had shouted, Tsunade immediately found him and had him tied into another bed again. She had told him that until the coffee cleared from his body she wouldn't let him leave.

In one of the hospital rooms, Naruto lay in his bed, while Sakura was near the door entrance.

Sakura looked nervously at Naruto. Had he been yelling in anger, struggling against the bonds that tied him to the bed, or going on one of his Naruto ramblings about coffee and ramen mixed together, she wouldn't be nervous.

But he wasn't doing that. What he was doing was extremely non-Naruto like. He was staying quiet. He just quietly lay there in the bed, as he angrily stared at the ceiling.

Not knowing what to say, she ventured, "Naruto?"

No response. Naruto glared at the ceiling.

A bit annoyed that he didn't respond, Sakura asked again, "Naruto?"

No response. Glares stabbed the ceiling.

She angrily yelled, "NARUTO!"

Naruto's face seemed to twitch for a second, but he still glared at the ceiling.

Sakura's eye twitched. Was Naruto ignoring her?!

"CHYYYAHH!" She yelled, as her fist flew towards the blond.

For a split second, before her fist reached his face, it had a look of dread.

What happened next surprised Sakura.

"Poof!"

After the fist hit his face, the Naruto dispersed into a cloud if smoke.

Cold realization slapped Sakura in the face. This Naruto had been only a clone! The real Naruto must have made this clone and gotten it trapped, as he ran off to escape!

As she stomped out the door, where Ino and was waiting, her eye was once again twitching in anger.

"Forehead, your eye is twitching," Ino pointed out.

"Shut up Ino pig!"

"Bill board brow!"

"Ino pig!"

"Forehead!"

For five minutes, Sakura and Ino's shrill voices screeched at each other before Sakura realized she should alert Tsunade as quickly as possible.

Naruto, calmer now as the coffee wore off and suffering a slight coffee-crash, shuddered as he gained the memory of Sakura from his clone.

He had told his clone NOT to speak to Sakura, knowing that when he talked to her, there was a 90% chance she would get mad at him and hit him, which would have dispelled his clone.

He now knew that Sakura gets mad when he DOESN'T say anything to her, too!

Shuddering again, he knew he needed some ramen to calm his nerves. He rubbed the back of his head in confusion as he headed towards the Ichiraku ramen stand. He wondered why everyone was so against him having coffee... Sakura had said that it was a food obsession worse than ramen...

Speaking of coffee and ramen, Naruto felt disappointed knowing he hadn't gotten to try the first coffee-ramen he had ever made...

xxXxx

"Blauuergg! Roourarggruahh!"

Choji deeply regretted that he had tried the coffee-ramen Naruto made.

What was he thinking? It sounded gross, it looked gross, and it smelled gross, so of it only made SENSE that it would TASTE gross!

Shikamaru put a hand on Choji's shoulder comfortingly, as he handed Choji a new bucket and a soft dark green blanket.

"Thanks Shikamaru," Choji said thankfully.

As Choji grabbed the bucket and blanket, he vowed he would never, ever, EVER eat anything even LIKE coffee-ramen, ever again.

Ever.

xxXxx

A/N Poor Choji... He just had to eat it! Blaghh...

And for some reason I find Fier66's comment highly amusing: "Coffee ramen, huh. Intriguing, but highly disturbing."

Also thank you Bankai for suggestion to reference Kushina in! It was funny to do that!

It was a bit harder to write this chapter, as I was totally NOT hyper at ALL. I wonder if that made my writing style and tone different...?

Ooh, by the way, I just updated my profile, has some more stuff and I made it have a funny quick story there called -How Funny Stories are REALLY Made-. So you if you want a quick laugh, feel free to check it out!

Anyways, all your reviews are AWESOME, so thanks!
