Naruto didn't know what to think of Akiyama Tayuya.
On one hand, she didn't actively harass him, but he was barely tolerated on the other. That is not to say she was mean to him, or at the very least meaner than she was to anyone else, but she wasn't really friendly to him -or anyone- either.
It was like the girl didn't want friends, and that baffled Naruto.
And although Tayuya's Maid-sama might be scarier, Tayuya herself too could be rather vicious if she wanted.
Which is why he was surprised when he got of relatively light, when he accidently dumped paint on her. Sure, her punishment -because he could swear it was her fault- sucked, and she had defiled the holy ramen, but he'd certainly expected a fate worse than even that.
He still had to figure out how she did it.
And so, his interest was piqued.
He'd find out more about her 'ttebayo.
