Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters all credits go to the people who made them in the first place.
A young teenager could be seen sitting down lazily on a cut tree stump in the middle of the Forest Of Death as he was looking through his pack bag for some food only to sigh "I ran out of Ramen... Damn it" The figure looked sadly at his traveling pack bag as he straps it back onto his back.
The figure was shirtless as he was wearing long dark green pants that reached down to his feet that were in orange wooden sandals. He has bright yellow hair that was probably blessed upon by the sun itself while his eyes were clear sky blue that just glows with warmth and kindness. For some reason however, he has three marks that strangely resembles that to whiskers on both sides of his cheeks.
This figure was Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze the son of the famous Fourth Hokage of the Leaf Village AKA: The Yellow Flash and the son of the Red Habanero AKA: The Red Death. He was glad that his parents focus much more time on his two younger twin sisters who were Naruko and Natsumi Uzumaki Namikaze.
"Well I don't blame them for focusing more on the two" Naruto muttered as he looked up at the clouds sky just admiring its view "But seriously did they have to forget about me?" Naruto thought as he remembered how his parent's barely paid attention to him as a kid only focusing on the two girls.
That was when Naruto decided to move out of the Namikaze mansion apartment to live by himself, If they couldn't take care of him and show him affection that a parent should give to a child so why not move out of the place? Which was his thought as a young kid before, a few years ago.
"Even the two girls" Naruto thought as he remembered how he always avoided his two sisters who doesn't even know who he was yet, For some reason the two didn't even know about Naruto but he was happy that his parents didn't tell them about him yet.
"Although I wonder how the- Naruto stopped in his train of thoughts as he ducked down just in time to evade a figure that was trying to pounce on him from behind, Time slowed down as Naruto lazily glances up at the figure only to smile a little as he saw who the figure was.
The figure was about to land on the ground "Damn" the figure cursed reveling to Naruto that it was a female, while in mid air the female twisted her body so instead of landing on her face, She landed onto the ground "Tch brat why did you dodge?" The female scowled at Naruto who just smiles at her.
The female has light brown, pupil less eyes. Her hair was black with a hint blue tint and violet in it which was styled in a short, spiky, fanned ponytail. She wears a fitted mesh body suit that covers her from her neck down to her thighs and over this she typically wears a tan overcoat.
It was with a purple in seam and a pocket on each side, a dark orange mini-skirt, a dark blue belt, and pale grey shin guards. In addition to the typical forehead protector, she also wears a small pendant that looks like a snake fang and a wrist watch.
This was Anko Mitarashi who was Naruto's best friend and sister figure in his life ever since he visited the Forest Of Death while he was a kid "Hey brat come over here and give me a hug" Anko grinned out as Naruto slowly started to come over to her only to stumble back as she pounced on him sending him onto the ground.
She held his hands above his head as she sat on his chest all the while staring deep into his eyes with her face inches from his own "Hey Anko would you mind getting off me" Naruto asked out with a tiny smile as Anko lecherously smiled at him as she held his arms with one hand and moved the other arm at his chest.
She slowly traced her hand down while rubbing his stomach in a very sexual way "Hello brat" She purred while trying to get a blush out of him but unfortunately Naruto just continued to smile as he got used to her ways of doing these kinds of things to him over the years.
She pouted from not getting a reaction out of him but then started to grow a perverted smile as she slowly dragged her hand down and down and down... before it could reach its destination, Naruto softly lifted his knee up then harshly kneed her in the stomach which knocked the air out of her.
"Nope" Naruto kept repeating as Anko let go of his arms and landed on her tush on the ground as she rubbed her stomach with a painful expression on her face "Damn it brat!" She yelled out towards Naruto who was now laying on the ground with an innocent expression on his face.
She walked over to his position with a twitching eye "Oh don't you go all innocent on me" She said looking down as Naruto blew a raspberry on her, She just stared at him then lifted her right arm towards him on the ground as a venomous brown snake was launched from her sleeve.
"Get him" She whispered out with a dangerous gleam in her eyes which instantly died out as Naruto stared at the snakes eyes when it was face to face with him then she gaped when she sees a pink dust on her snake summons cheeks as it curled up around Naruto's chest just staring at Naruto's smiling face.
Naruto was just smiling at the cute creature as it stared back at him, He lifted up his finger and brought it to the female snakes head and rubbed it as the snake responded by rubbing it's head affectionately against his finger "I hate you when you do that" Anko muttered out.
Every single time when Naruto just looks at an animal directly in its eyes, the animals would be very peaceful and kind towards him even with the most vicious of the animals in the Forest Of Death. Anko just kept twitching in her place as her suppose to be deadly snake was cuddling up to Naruto now on his chest "Okay that's enough get going" She said as she tried to shoo the snake away.
It failed as the snake just blankly looks at her then started affectionately nuzzle Naruto again which increased the twitching in Anko's eyes, Naruto was laughing silently at her but stopped as she glared at him so he dropped his head down hiding his twitching smile that was about to turn into a grin.
"Snake" She hissed as the brown snake glared back up at her with its forest green slits that were just daring her to do something "I'm in charge of this place and you so get out of here!" She commanded closing her eyes expecting the snake to slither away then opened them to see that it didn't move at all.
It then proceeded to hiss something that made Anko reel back in shock with wide eyes including her mouth so wide that Naruto was sure that she was related to a hippo summon "That was uncalled for" Anko snarled at the snake who lifted its tail up to her as if trying to flick her off or something as Anko grew red in rage.
Naruto was now lightly sweating as he sees Anko was about to lose her cool, The last time she lost it was when her blind date stood her up for another woman. People still say that at night they could still hear the cry of despair from a male who sounded like his balls were being crush/cut off.
It was a poor day for him to meet Anko's dangerous snakes….. Indeed it was.
"Calm down Anko" Naruto got off the ground holding the snake protectively as it wrapped itself onto around his arm just hissing with affection "Hehehehe" Anko started to chuckle as she realized that her summon had just flicked her off and ignored her orders for cuddling with Naruto.
She then narrowed her own eyes into slits as she glared at both Naruto and the snake, Naruto just backs away slowly as he started to sweat even more from the intense gaze that Anko was giving him in the area "Oh well Anko I guess yo- CRAP WHAT IS THAT!" Naruto suddenly yelled out with a frightened expression breaking Anko from her killing trance and looked over at the direction he pointed to.
Only to find nothing so she turned back only to meet empty place where Naruto and her pet should've been, She just stares at the area with a blank look on her face then took a deep breath as she looked up at the sky that was just shining over the village "NARUUUUUUUTOOOOOOOOO!" She yelled out.
"Run Naruto just keep running" Naruto muttered as he was running away from the Forest Of Death and into the Leaf villages streets, knocking some people on the way just ignoring their surprised cries then anger followed after it.
While running it seemed that the cute little snake that was wrapped around Naruto dispelled and went back to its plain "Now that she's gone what am I gonna do?" Naruto asked out to himself as he walked down the street ignoring the looks he was getting from the female and male population from seeing a Shirtless man walking down the street at the moment.
While walking down the street, Naruto smelled something absolutely delicious in the air and he followed the scent to a nearby Ramen shop "Hm this place" Naruto said as he looked at the Ramen shop that his family mostly goes to.
Of course he always avoids this place so he doesn't have to meet up with his so called family, He doesn't hate them but he also doesn't like them much. He actually knows that it wasn't his sisters fault of course of being the object of affections on his parents but still did his parents really have to ignore him?.
He isn't jealous of his siblings and he was actually kind of happy that his parents barely pay attention to him, I mean look at him now he moved out when he was just a child and he grown up pretty well over these past few years of living off from working random jobs around the neighborhood.
"Life is good so far" He took a minute to calm down before his stomach started grumbling a bit desperately pleading for him to go into that Ramen shop for some food. Naruto was just standing there just looking between the shop then to his stomach so with a sigh he hesitantly walked through the shops banner and sat on one of the stools just waiting for the lady behind the counter to notice him.
He would naturally be more observing but his mind was on food as his stomach begs for something to feed on "Shush we're almost there" Naruto sternly said as he looked down at his stomach to notice that it stopped rumbling a bit from his answer, He turned to the waitress in the shop and cough to get her attention and it succeeded when she tilted her head away from the pot to him.
"Hello Welcome to Ichiraku Ramen sh- Ayame turned around to face her customer but stopped as she turned her face as she got a good look at the customer, She froze in her spot as she just stared at Naruto who was looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
She was just standing there bringing her eyes up and down at his naked chest then to his face as her cheeks were getting even redder. Freaked out by the girls stare, Naruto just snapped his fingers at her hoping to get her to snap out of her state and back into the real world.
She blinked slowly as her face was turning back to normal but there was still a light color of pink dust that were protruding her cheeks "H-hello M-my N-name is A-A-Ayame we-welcome to.. to.. to" Ayame was now stuttering things that Naruto couldn't understand until someone else came in.
It was an old man who was wearing the same type of material clothing as the young woman beside him in the area, He noticed her In this state and got worried until he finally caught the sight of Naruto who was now laying his head on his arm as it was spread across the table.
Noticing that the boy was Shirtless, Teuchi sighed as he realized why his daughter was acting like this in the first place "But…Ayame doesn't really take interest in boys a lot" Teuchi couldn't help but think as he eyed his still mumbling daughter who didn't notice that he was here yet.
His daughter wasn't really interested in dating yet as she was just happy with staying at the Ramen shop that he works at, Hell there was one time when he asked her if she wanted a boyfriend but he was surprised when she shook his head at him with a smile "No I'm fine with working" He remembered that she said that a few years ago.
Normally a father like him would be very protective of their daughters but he wants Ayame to be happy after all she can't just stay working in the Ramen shop everyday now, He then stopped thinking as he shook his head and stared at his customer in the shop.
"Although" Teuchi thought as he eyed the blonde Shirtless boy "Why does he look like Minato?" The Ramen chief silently thought in his mind because in the blondes place, He could see the face of his second best customer who was right next to Kushina Uzumaki which was Minato Namikaze.
"Come on Teuchi stay focus you have a customer here" He thought to himself as he started walking to the blonde whiskered boy who looked up from his position when he heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him.
"Welcome to the Ichiraku Ramen shop my name is Teuchi" Teuchi smiled out as he took a notepad from his pocket and gave the menu to the young lad "What would you like to have young man?" He asked with that kind smile that he always gives to his customers when serving them in the shop for food.
Naruto straightened up from his stool and thank the old man as he looked over at the Ramen shop menu with his eyes practically glowing from the different types of Ramen that this shop has to offer. After finding what he wanted, Naruto turned to the now named Teuchi.
"Could I please get the Pork Ramen?" Naruto asked politely while Teuchi nodded with a smile "Sure…. " He trailed off before Naruto realized that he was asking for his name "Naruto just Naruto" Naruto said as Teuchi nodded.
Naruto can't say his last name here because the old man might inform his parent that he was here, He wasn't scared of them but he also doesn't want to confront them unless it was over something very important to have him talk to them.
Especially when his parents might be with his two sisters who were sure that they didn't have a brother in the family, He just didn't want to deal with all the questions that the two girls might ask him which would result him into spending more time with them.
"Sure, Naruto right?" Teuchi turned to Naruto who nodded his head in confirmation "It will be right up" Teuchi said with a smirk as he pulled his right sleeve up as he went back to the kitchen just taking out the ingredients used for the Pork Ramen dish.
Naruto just sat at his stool just watching Teuchi gather the Ingredients together for making the dish until he heard mumbling so he turned to the side to see the one who was still mumbling words was that brown haired girl who just stared at him.
"Uuuuuh" Naruto was honestly surprised that she was still here, He thought that she moved on to some other place already. He turned back to the now cooking Teuchi "Teuchi um that girl is staring at me" Naruto said uncomfortably as he could feel the girls eyes stare at him from his side.
Teuchi looked up from his chopping board as he stopped chopping some vegetables and meat from hearing the young lads voice so he stared at the girl who he was talking about only to notice that it was his daughter who was still blushing from her spot, never once blinking or moving.
"Oh that's my daughter Ayame, Naruto" Teuchi introduced his daughter who stopped mumbling and just nodded shyly as she played with her fingers with her eyes looking directly at Naruto who smiled back at her with a smile full of Warmth.
"Nice to meet you…. Ayame" So Naruto greeted her with his sky Blue eyes directly looking at her large black colored eyes that were just staring at him. It was a cute moment which was ruined as Teuchi who was Ayame's father came back with a large bowl of steaming Ramen with some slices of pork on the edge of the bowl.
"Order up" Teuchi placed the bowl of Ramen in front of Naruto who was instantly greeted with that delicious smell that drew him into this shop in the first place, He took a pair of chopsticks near the table and took the first bite of the pork Ramen.
Teuchi and Ayame looked at Naruto waiting for his reaction only for them to be greeted with a smile that was able to not only make Ayame blush but also Teuchi as he saw the smile that reminded him of his passed away wife.
His wife sadly passed away a few years ago and Teuchi was sure that he will never see a smile that could ever resemble his wife's own yet this boy had that same smile of hers which was showing nothing but pure kindness and gratitude in it.
"It's delicious… this is the best Ramen that I ever tasted!" Naruto cheered out with a wide grin as Teuchi stopped to stare at him with wide eyes as he saw his wife in the young lads place.
(Memory)
"Okay son it's your first day of working make me proud" A tall man said to a young twelve year old Teuchi who nodded with a determined face "I will do my best" with that his father left the shop for a meeting so here he was standing in the shop alone with his mother.
He was waiting patiently for a customer to make his pa proud along with his mother but was caught off as he heard her voice "Hey son there's a girl over there, Why don't you invite her?" He looked over to the side of the shop to see a pretty brown haired girl around his age looking on at the shop with curiosity.
He gulped as his mother pushed him a bit with a smile, He walked towards her but turned back to his mother who nodded at him so with another gulp he approached the pretty girl "H-Hello" Teuchi stuttered as the young girl looked over at him with a grin.
"Hi names Chi" The young girl greeted with a grin as Teuchi introduced himself and then hesitantly asked if she would like some Ramen "Hm" She stood there with a thoughtful expression until she nodded at him with that same peaceful grin "Sure" with that he led her to the shop where she sat on the stool in front of the counter.
His mother encourage him to do his best so with skills worthy of a top chief, He prepared a bowl of pork Ramen and presented it to the girl who instantly took a first bite into his dish as he was nervous that she might not like it.
"H-How is it?" He asked with a hint nervousness in his voice but he stopped being a nervous wreck as he saw her look back up at him with a smile full of kindness "It's delicious… this is the best Ramen that I ever tasted!" She cheered out in the end as Teuchi for some reason felt his heart flutter from her smile.
(Memory Ends)
"This boy" Teuchi thought with a light smile as he saw Naruto starting to dig up the Ramen in a fast pace that made the old man chuckle lightly as he remembered how the little girl back in his childhood did same thing after tasting his Ramen.
The girl from his childhood….. His best friend…. His loving wife was gone yet this boy somehow brings that same spark that Chi used to have when she was alive, Ayame was just like her in every way yet this boy was just like her in that very aspect.
"Thank you young lad" Teuchi thanked the blonde who waved it off with a smile of his own on his face "Maybe… this is the man right for Ayame?" Teuchi thought as he stared at his daughter who was still star struck in her place with a dopey smile.
"After all I was in her position when this happened back then" He thought to himself but before he could dwell on something else another figure entered the shop with a childlike grin "I'm back old man" a girls voice rang throughout the place as Naruto suddenly froze as he heard Teuchi greet the figure with a joyous laugh "Oh hello Naruko".
