Hello, Exotos135 here. This is simple a filler chapter I decided to make to give you something to read while the next real chapter is going. This won't be the only filler chapter either, I'll generally make another one after the next chapter and so on. This filler's are non canon, by the way.
Another thing: Hidden Gravity is simply a shorter name for the Village hidden by Gravity, the place where the main trio come from. likewise, Hidden Leaf is a shorter name for the Village hidden in the Leaves, as far as I know either way.
Ramen, one of Naruto's favorite foods, is a noodle soup food from japan made with chinese wheat noodles served in meat or, sometimes, fish-based broth, with a soy sauce or miso flavor. It also uses toppings like sliced pork and the like.
Naruto is the main character of the series, Sakura is one of his companions, Hinata is a shy girl with a crush on him and Kakashi is his sensei, for the short and simple version of the characters. That's as far as I know about this though, so I'll shut up and let you enjoy the filler. :)
(Hidden Leaf Village)
Dipper, Mabel and Stan were visiting the Hidden Leaf Village, not to deliver a message or any kind of mission, just taking a walk through the village. Mabel, who separated from her brother and Stan without them noticing, went to and grabbed a pair of frying pans, hitting them once she was close to Ramen Ichiraku, a local ramen shop.
"Listen, local villagers of Hidden Leaf!" called Mabel, earning the attention of everybody nearby, specially Naruto, "I, Mabel Pines from Hidden Gravity, challenge Naruto Uzumaki to a ramen eating contest!"
Everybody gasped in shock, Naruto looking surprised at the sudden challenge. Dipper and Stan, who were nearby, reacted with horror-though Stan had the same stoic look on his face-and went to the girl, grabbing her and dragging her to an alley to reprimand her for her recklessness.
"Mabel, do you even know what you're doing?!" questioned Dipper with a worried scowl, "Remember the stories about this guy's big appetite, specially about ramen? You have no chance!"
"Don't worry Dipper, I have trained all week-long!" assured Mabel, patting his brother's head before explaining, "I brought a lot of instant noodles with the money we got from missions and eating them as fast as I could, and I believe I'm just as fast at eating them like Naruto!"
"You what?" asked Stan, who heard everything.
Mabel laughed nervously before she heard somebody coming, turning to see Naruto Uzumaki himself with a big grin on his face. "I accept your challenge." stated Naruto.
(Ramen Ichiraku)
Mabel and Naruto had taken their seats, with their respective audience by their side: Mabel had Dipper and Stan, who gave the girls a pair of thumbs up, while Naruto had Hinata, who was waving a small flag with "go naruto!" written on it, and Sakura...who wasn't really doing anything, and Kakashi, who was praying that his wallet was able to pay the fee after the contest finished.
"Okay, the contest works this way: the one who eats the most bowl in 30 minutes win." informed the man behind the counter to both contestants, who looked at each other with determined looks, "And...go!"
With their first bowls of ramen served, Naruto and Mabel wasted no time and eat them as fast as they could, the bowls eventually piling up until they were a tower as the contest continued and the contestants eat. "I'm not gonna pay a single cent for this." stated Stan as he saw the bowls accumulate.
"Done!"
With those words uttered, Mabel and Naruto hit the table, slightly shaking the towers made of the bowls they ate, with their fists and glared at each other with determined looks on their faces. It didn't took long before their faces became green and they got sick looks on their faces, quickly leaving the restaurant and going to some bushes, laudably throwing up as everybody look on with surprised or disappointed expressions.
"Well, they did eat 30 bowls of ramen in 30 minutes." shrugged Dipper.
"I counted 34." corrected Hinata.
After they finished throwing up, Mabel and Naruto, both still looking a bit sick, came out of the bushes and walked to everyone. "Who won?" they asked in unison, exchanging angry glares upon realizing that.
The rest turned to the restaurant as Mabel and Naruto exchanged growls and were face-to-face, with them seeing two towers of ramen bowls of equal size. "It's a draw." said everyone in unison, turning back to the duo.
Hearing what they said, the two turned to everyone with shocked looks before fainting in either horror or shock. That was the day that Naruto and Mabel's rivalry was born, the day where Kakashi and Stan's wallets died and went to wallet heaven and where it was prohibited to challenge Naruto or Mabel to any food related contest, period.
The End
