I don't own Naruto, but if I did, the filler episodes would be a hundred times funnier!

-Chapter 4-

He felt something sharp pressed against his throat. Something very sharp.

He should have known. He had forgotten the most important rule of being a dark, creepy dealer. Although making your client feel desperate got you great deals, the more desperate you make your client, the more dangerous he got. Maybe he shouldn't had held ramen back from the kid for so long after all.

But what he really didn't get, was that there were TWO kunai at his throat. One was held by a Naruto, who was yelling with a maniac look on his face, crazed eyes flashing dangerously. "Give me the ramen already, you creepy dealer!" The dealer swore that for a split second, Naruto's eyes were red.

The other kunai was being held by a white haired ninja wearing a mask. "You're operation is about to be shut down," Kakashi was saying.

"GIVE ME THE RAMEN!" Naruto was shouting. "OR ELSE!"

"If you give him ramen, it is equal to an S-class crime" Kakashi was saying.

"GIVE ME RAMEN! OR ELSE YOU DIE!"

"If you give him ramen while there is a ramen ban in place, you die."

The dealer didn't know what to do. If he gave the kid ramen, he would get S-class crime punishment. (Shudder) But if he DIDN'T get the kid ramen, there was no telling would that maniac would do.

"RAMEN! OR ELSE- WHAAAAT?! KAKASHI-SENSEI?!"

Kakashi, who had been trailing Naruto ever since training that morning, eye smiled at the ramen maniac. "Oh, hello Naruto. I was just apprehending a shady dealer working in the black market. What are you doing here?"

Naruto seemed to become slightly more sane and the crazed look in his eyes seemed to almost disappear at seeing his sensei. 'What are you doing here?' he had said. Realizing he was holding a kunai to someone's throat while demanding ramen, he slowly brought the kunai away from the shady, creepy dealer, and dropped it to the floor.

Kakashi, glad that any crises had been averted, although now very worried for his student, and said, "OK, let's bring this guy to the hokage."

The shady dealer only nodded violently, glad for his life, as he inched away from Naruto as far as he could.

He mentally reminded himself never to go into the dark business of ramen-addicts.

NEVER, EVER, EVER AGAIN, EVER!

The Konoha twelve were waiting outside of the hokage's office. Ino had a look of dread on her face. Now that her dealer had been caught, what if her Sasu addiction got found out? Or worse, how would she get her supply of Sasu-smut?!

They all talked amongst themselves as they waited for Naruto and Kakashi to come out of the office. Sasuke would "Hn" every once in a while, Choji was inhaling chip after chip, Hinata was poking her fingers together, Shikamaru was deep in thought, Kiba was studying Neji and wondered if the mentioned Hyuga ever blinked, Lee was ranting about youthfulness, Shino was quietly watching everyone else, and TenTen was sharpening her pretty, pointy kunai.

Sakura was asking nervously, "Hey, you guys, you don't think Naruto would have actually killed that dealer, right?"

Complete silence in the room.

Kiba chuckled nervously. "Nahhh, Naruto wouldn't do that, right Akumaru?"

The white dog yipped enthusiastically.

"Y-Yah, Naruto-kun wouldn't do that," Hinata said, blushing and poking her fingers together.

Shikamaru spoke up. "I think that Naruto is going through severe withdrawal symptoms right now. Although I never heard it being from ramen before."

Just then the door opened, and Kakashi and Naruto walked out. Naruto was tugging his hair again in agitation, frustrated that he still hadnt had ramen since he was banned. Naruto looked up to see everyone staring at him.

Images of stares and glares directed at him as a child flashed through his mind.

"Why... Why do you look at me with those eyes?!" Naruto shouted, before running out the door.

The others looked at each other in confusion. What in the world was Naruto talking about?

When Naruto had missed training for a second day in a row, Kakashi decided that he would bring his team over to to Naruto's apartment to check up on him.

Sasuke had originally thought it to be a great and wonderful thing when Naruto was banned from Ramen. However, with only Sakura to spar against, Sasuke was having second thoughts. Naruto gave better spars than Sakura did even when he was completely out of it.

And Sakura was concerned for her blonde teammate, even if in her mind, everything revolved around Sasuke.

And so, when Kakashi suggested they go check up on Naruto, they both agreed.

As the group continued towards Naruto's apartment, Sakura couldn't help but feel a pit of dread in her stomach.

Each step forward they got to his apartment, she felt that something was wrong. Picking up the pace, she threw the door open, accidentally ripping it off it's hinges.

Kakashi and Sasuke were right behind her.

And all of them were shocked by what they saw.

Inside, Naruto had chained himself to a wall. All over the walls, were thousands of neat slashes that likes like they were made by a kunai, drawings of ramen, and unintelligible writing. Near one of the walls, Naruto was carefully making another slash in the wall while murmuring, "It's gonna be ok, ramen-chan..."

In his shock, Kakashi did the impossible.

He dropped his favourite book.

He dropped Icha Icha Paradise.

A/N Oh, no! What happened to Naruto?! Naruto, WHY?! Why did he chain himself to a WALL?!

And poor dealer guy. He got what was coming to him. (Have fun rotting in jail, creepy dude!)

Oh, and fier, would have posted earlier but I had to do boring stuff...

Anyways, follow, fav, review!
