[3] Ramen Bowls | Thursday, March 11th

[Slamming his communication mirror down switches it on, and he stares at the screen for a while.

It might not have been intentional, but as long as it's on and recording--]

Didn't think the stupid ramen shops would stop givin' me any ramen so fast.

[His voice drops, whiny and obviously attempting a terrible impression]

"Sorry kid you're gonna eat us outta stock."

[Thunk. That'll be the sound of his head slamming against the counter... followed slowly by the gradual boil of a kettle somewhere nearby.

His hand slams down on top of the device a moment later, thereby turning it off.]

[Gai's... not sure. But possibly.]

What would you do?

Well, I guess I could spar with people? I'm good at that?

Come and spar, and we will see how you do. And then I will know if you are ready to instruct.

What, like tomorrow? Okay. 'Course I'll be there.

... When would you pay me?

Pay goes out at the end of every week. ...Is there something going on, Naruto?

What!? No! Why would there be anythin' goin' on? I just wanted to know, that's all.

If you are sure. But you were on the stage in a need for money, and now you are asking when the pay would come.

THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT JUST SHUT UP ABOUT IT ALREADY, YEAH!?

It is potentially a symptom of something else and a ninja does not ignore signs of other things going on, Naruto!

There's nothin' going on okay!?

I just wanna have enough money to get ramen again.

If you are sure.

Have you tried partnering with someone and going on a mission? Those pay right away.

Course I'm sure!

Well, me an' Sakura-chan might go on a mission?

Then that can help! And I believe your sensei would be glad to hear you were working with her. It is good when teammates work together!

Yeah-- Er, I guess he would be, 'course. Me and Sakura-chan make a great team.

You do! Teams are assigned for a reason, and you both know how the other operates. There is already a baseline for resonation there!

Yeah, I know that stuff. Reckon we're gonna try it out next time we're both at mornin' trainin'.

Perhaps you can drop a note to your sensei as well, so that he will have more reason to come. Then he can watch, and perhaps help!

You really think something like that would make him wake up in time for training?

Kakashi is aloof. But he cares about you both. It might.

I guess it's worth a try?

That is the spirit! And it is!

Hm. Well, I'll do that. You know, next time we're training.

Splendid! Let me know if it works!

Yeah, sure. I will.
