3: Ramen

Chapter 3: Never thought that it would be this good

Location: Konohagakure - Entrance of Naruto's Apartment

Not finding any food in the house no matter where he looked Naruto decided to get some ramen from Ichiraku, the only place that would actually sell anything to him fairly.

Locking the door behind him he left the premise of the apartment complex, only pausing for a brief moment to enjoy the sensation of the evening sun. Even though he knew he was supposed to attend the academy today he chose to skip, it's not like he would miss anything by skipping once.

The closer he got to Ichiraku the more hostile stares he received from random villagers who filled the streets of Konoha which he completely ignored. Why waste your time & energy on dumbasses who blame the death of their relatives and the attack of the Kyuubi on a literal child who was born on that same faithful night?

Naruto knew they believed he was the Kyuubi's incarnation or something along those lines which clearly didn't make sense and the only reason they believed this was because that damned eye-stealing freak Danzo spread such rumors.

After about 5 more minutes of walking, Naruto stood in front of the best ramen shop in the entirety of Konohagakure, Ichiraku Ramen. Pushing aside the small curtains at the store entrance, Naruto sat on the stool in the middle, "Ji-chan the usual," said Naruto excitedly as he waved at Teuchi who was washing the dishes of the previous customers.

"Ah Naruto welcome, 2 bowls of miso ramen coming right up," said Teuchi as he rinsed off his hands before starting the preparations for the ramen. "So Naruto, how is the academy so far?"

"Well...it's alright, I made a couple of friends who play with me," stated Naruto.

"That's good. Friends are important," replied Teuchi as he put a bowl of miso ramen in front of Naruto who was drooling a little by the heavenly aroma. Not holding back any longer because of the hunger, Naruto immediately started wolfing down the ramen like a person who hasn't eaten in years.

After eating the first 2 bowls of ramen Naruto ordered a 3rd, 4th, 5th, and a 6th before he was satisfied. Putting the money on the counter Naruto said his goodbyes to Teuchi who was reluctant to take his money but Naruto eventually convinced him saying he wanted to pay since he ate so much.

'Man trying to act like the original Naruto is hard,' He thought as he ran back home, it was getting dark and tomorrow he had to attend the academy.

-The Next Day-

Waking up early in the morning, Naruto took a shower and made some breakfast for himself which was really just instant ramen. Wore a plain white shirt and black pants before rushing out the door towards the academy. There was no in hell he was going to wear that stupid ass orange jumpsuit.

"Eating ramen all the time is really not healthy. Even if I use HD to make it healthy, I still need a different variety of food other than ramen," Naruto muttered as he leaped from rooftop to rooftop. For the past 2 years, his main source of protein and nutrition was ramen which he was tired of eating.

'I'll deal with that situation later today,' he thought as he hoped of a rooftop landing in front of the gates of the academy. Ignoring the disdainful gazes of the kids and parents alike Naruto head towards his homeroom.

Opening the homeroom door Naruto was met with an almost empty classroom, only a few kids were in class at the moment. 'Good I'm not late,' he thought as he walked in the direction of his seat.

Little by little the classroom was filled with students until finally Iruka-sensei arrived silencing the kids before starting to take attendance.

"Kuma?" said Iruka while staring at the attendance book.

"Here!" said a kid with brown hair and dark brown eyes.

"Fujitora?"

"present!"

"Kenshin?"

"Present sensei"

.....

"Sakura Haruno?"

"Here sensei!" answered a little girl with short pink hair, green eyes, and a rather large forehead.

"Sasuke Uchiha?"

"Here" responded a little boy with spiky black hair and black eyes. The boy carried himself a lot differently than most of the kids in class. He seemed a lot more mature than the rest.

"Naruto Uzumaki?"

"present," answered Naruto as he raised his hand. There was a brief silence in the room before Iruka took his eyes took off the attendance book and asked, "why weren't you here yesterday?"

"Ahaha," Naruto chuckled awkwardly while rubbing the back of his head, "I was feeling a little under the weather."

"Oh really?" said Iruka skeptically. He gazed at Naruto for a brief second, evaluating if Naruto was lying or not.

"mmm ok," stated Iruka, still a little suspicious of Naruto, "anyhow, today's lesson will be on multiplication and division," he continued.

-A few hours later-

-Naruto pov-

Returning back home after a long day of learning absolutely nothing new, I sat on my bed thinking of ways to get actually healthy food. When the thought dawned on me, why waste my time thinking of ways to get healthy food when I can just use HD to allow myself to always be healthy? or even allow myself to never be hungry or thirsty.

"Heaven's Door" I softly muttered.

-To Be Continued.
