Description
“One bowl of miso Ramen please” shouted the scruffy blond” and don’t go light on the pork old man”. Naruto sat at his favorite ramen shop in town doing what he enjoyed best, and it was soon to be eating ramen. Here you go replied the owner as the old man set down a piping hot bowl of ramen right in front of the energetic ninja. “Boy oh boy, thank you old man” spout Naruto as he dove for the chopsticks and began to chow down. As he sat and ate his meal, his mind began to wander back to the day before at lunch time. Right back to the time where his and Sakura’s date had gone smoothly until his flop attempt at kissing her went bad. Well at least it seemed that way, he knew that he wanted to kiss her and it had been such a strong urge for a long time. But it had seemed that she was also leaning in for the kiss as well. “Nah” he thought, it was just his imagination and his damm luck that he didn’t get his ass beat too badly for the attempt.His thoughts were cut short when another customer entered the shop. “Pardon me sir” commented the customer, “I would like a bowl of miso ramen and don’t go light on the pork old man”. “Sure” answered the owner,”one bowl coming up”. “Say there young sir, I don’t see a headband and can tell that you are new here” he continued, “so what brings you to this village”? “Well, ummmm” commented the new arrival, “I guess I should start with my name and it is Jin”. “Im kind of a traveling writer and am touring the countryside with my sister” “Well nice to meet you Jin and you are always welcome here at my shop, so eat up before it get’s cold” commented the old man as he handed the new arrival his bowl of ramen.
Naruto looked over the new person and instantly saw that he liked him already for his taste in food, let alone for the exact same style of ramen that was Naruto’s favorite. “Actually” he thought, “he ordered it exactly the same way he had every time he had placed the order through his years there”. “Wait a second” thought Naruto, “why am I thinking about how he placed his order”? “Good god kid” chided the Kyuubi inside him, “one guy orders a bowl of ramen the way you do and you get jumpy”. “Oh whatever you old fox” yelled back Naruto inside, though he had to admit he was acting too cautious for a new person in town”. Jin had made it past the gates, so he had to at least be at least peaceful to be wandering from village to village. He looked the guy up and down seeing that he wasn’t wearing any ninja gear at all. “Hmmmm, no headband, gear, or weapons” thought Naruto, “not really well equipped for a traveler”.
“Hello there Jin nice to meet you, the names Uzumaki Naruto and someday I will be the future Hokage dattebayo”! About half way through Naruto’s rather loud greeting, Jin half choked on his ramen when he got to the part about being the Hokage. “Hokage you say” replied Jin half catching his breath, “that’s a pretty bold statement for someone to say just to anyone”. “Why would you say that” replied Naruto slightly peeved at his retort. “Well continued” Jin, “I’ve heard that the Hokage or Kage is the strongest ninja of a village, am I right”? “Yeah” answered Naruto giving Jin a rather blank stare at this point, “your point being”? “I was just curious as to why a weakling like you would ever want to be Hokage”. “What was that” yelled Naruto, “ weak…I am not weak, what makes you say that Im weak”!!!! “It’s the way you hold yourself” continued Jin as he finished his ramen and set his chopsticks down. “I’ve traveled quite a bit and seen my share of Ninja, and you do not hold yourself like a ninja”. “Of course you reaction to my small comment wasn’t very ninja like either” continued Jin with a small snicker.
This was pissing off Naruto like no tomorrow and it urked him to no end being told by a complete stranger that he was weak, not worthy of being Hokage. “Hey there buddy, I don’t exactly enjoy having someone from out of nowhere come and tell me that im weak and let alone someone who isn’t even a ninja”. Jin wiped his mouth off and looked towards Naruto square in the eye, “well then prove me wrong stranger”. “What” replied Naruto, “a fight, it wouldn’t be fair”. “Why, are you afraid that I will beat you” replied Jin. “No” shot back Naruto, “Im afraid that i'll hurt you, hell you’re not even a ninja yourself”. “Oh, is that all that’s worrying you” shot back Jin, “I will admit that I may not be a ninja, but I have picked up a fair amount of skills through my travels”. “What’s say we meet in one hour outside of town, I noticed some training grounds as I entered the village and im assuming that we can battle there”? Jin fumbled around some money in his hands and slapped down a wad of bills on the counter. “Sir, I have set my money down for the food and I must say that it is still the best ever”. With that being said, Jin turned around and began to head out of the shop. “I will see you in one hour and because you have accepted my challenge, I will pay for you’re meal Uzumaki”. “We shall see who is weak, and if so then, I may accept you as a possibility for Hokage”. With that mentioned, Jin walked out of the shop.
“Naruto” commented the old man while counting through the money, “you might want to finish you’re ramen before it gets cold and close you’re mouth, flies will get in”.
“Oh and also don’t worry about your meal, it seems that Jin fellow paid for both meals and the weird part is that he paid the exact amount without me telling him”. “Thank you sir” replied Naruto as he gulped down the rest of his bowl’s worth. If Jin wanted a match, he had one coming. “Of course I’ll have to go easy on him” he thought,”but this should be fun”. With that Naruto bolted out the door and headed to the training grounds to wait for Jin, he was going to be both ready and waiting.

“Goddammit you worthless dolts, keep up” screamed a lean, red haired woman towards the top of the hill! Wringing her hands in frustration, more obscenities were flung towards a near group of three ninja. “I hope the large amount of money that I paid you all was enough motivation to keep you all moving” continued the woman. The group of ninja however ignored her comments and proceeded to sit down anyway. “Well pardon us little miss, but some of us need to rest once in a while’ commented the taller male ninja as he took a drink from his canteen. “I will agree with that tenfold” piped the shorter male” as he positioned himself on a rock near him to sit on and proceeded to clean his glasses. “Yeah, whatever you want fatty” commented the female ninja as she decided to light up a cigarette, “I won’t argue with a break”.
The redhead saw that it was futile and moved further up the hill to small clearing in the trees. Father told me that it was useless working with others; solo was more of my game, but this mission wasn’t going to allow it. When she reached the top of the hill she could see that the view was marvelous, it had been a long time since she was in this area and she had never really got the chance to soak in the beautiful surroundings. While caught in thought; a small gust of wind blew her hair around, causing her glasses to get tangled in the red strands. “Damm it” she murmured untangling her hair from the glasses; she never really did enjoy them! “Though” she thought, father did say that glasses were what he thought made her mother look sexy. But that was why they were there, to seek revenge for her parents and to destroy those who had destroyed her life. She shook off the cold thought in her head and proceeded to think happier thoughts.
As she finished freeing her hair from the glasses, she placed them back on her face and headed back towards the group of ninja. She could see that they were all readjusting their gear and were getting ready to head back out again. The blond girl was putting her cigarette out while the two males were going over their map. “I can see that you are all rested” barked the redhead and with that comment, flicked out three small objects towards the ninja directions. Each one of the ninja caught a small pill case containing three small pills. “Food pills” commented the smaller male? “Not quite” replied the redhead, “they more like super solider pills and be careful with them, don’t take them all at once”. “Why not miss pretty” quipped the female Ninja, “you afraid we might look better than you”? “Like I would have to worry about that” shot back the redhead with an evil piercing look, “its more like you will blow up if you take all three at once pretty”. The female quickly shut up and stowed her pills aside in her pouch. “Woah there missy” interjected the taller male, “what the hell are we going against that requires us to us pills like this”?
The redhead pulled from her side pouch two photos and threw them in front of the group. The pictures fluttered to the ground and landed in front of the three’s feet. “No wonder you paid us so much” spoke the smaller male with a slight bit of fear in his voice. “No shit” shot the female instantly looking up at the redhead with a rather evil grin on her face, “one of those people in the pictures is going to be hard as hell to take out”. “Yeah” replied the taller one, “she defeated Sasori of the Red Sand and holy shit, the other is a noble of the Hyuga clan”! The redhead cackled a rather evil laugh as she stared into the group” tonight it will rain blood from the sky in Konoha”. “Tonight Sakura Haruno and Hinata Hyuga will die for what they have done to my parents, tonight I will seek revenge!
