[3] Ramen Bowls | Thursday, March 11th

[kuramaless]

[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.]

[ It's a very good thing that there's a network separating them. ]

And just what are you protecting or guarding, Naruto?! [ ANSWER CORRECTLY. IT'S SORT OF HAS POTENTIAL TO LEAD TO A VERY ANGRY TENTEN ): YOU CAN DO THIS NARUTO. ]

[kuramaless]

Er...

Well, you know just gotta make sure the people don't try and start a fight or-- try to do stuff they shouldn't.

[VAGUE ANSWER IS VAGUE. He knows.]

[weaponry]

Naruto, you have no idea what your job is, don't you? [ She knows it's vague. She's responding accordingly. IT'S ABOUT THE WOMEN NARUTO, THE WOMEN.... ]

[kuramaless]

[Oh. Look who pushed a button.]

'Course I know what my job is! I ain't stupid'ttebayo!

It's not even hard! Just gotta make sure people don't get dances without payin' and make sure no one tries to like-- steal the girls or anything.

[weaponry]

So, in other words, your job is to protect the woman from those disrespectful customers, correct? [ Her tone intensifies to match his, although she is not shouting. Her gaze is focused, and intense. ]

[kuramaless]

Er-- Yep! Guess that's right.

[You're not angry with him, right - Tenten?]

[weaponry]

Oh! Naruto! I knew you'd take a stand against how women in places as vile as strip clubs! [ She's sort of reacting much like Guy-sensei would if he saw a treadmill and learned about its function. ] You such an upstanding young man! [ is he going to ruin this compliment and get her angry?! only time will tell... ]

[kuramaless]

[Okay, well he totally didn't expect that. His default response is just to stare. It breaks off when he manages an awkward laugh, reaching back to ruffle his hair.]

Haha, yeah. Well, you know?

[He's not really sure that he knows himself, but there you go.]

Maybe, Er don't tell Sakura-chan though?

[weaponry]

[ She can sense his response is slightly nervous, but, she takes this as a sign that the message is clear. Mess with women and you get scary consequences. ]

Ah, why, Naruto? You really think Sakura would be upset that you're protecting women from the dangers of perverted men? [ She had this hesitation too but a woman named Vanille set her straight. ]
