"Sensei! Scroll's gone poof! My bad... Teach me another way?"
Hey Naruto… Don’t worry I’ll help you make another. I don’t mind doing this, now, since I’m stuck in the past.
"Thanks, Sensei! You're the best! Let's get started right away!" Naruto quickly gathers his materials and begins working on a new scroll
The scroll is now complete, it has a tengu mask on it, which symbolizes the Uzumaki clan, and is now ready for use.
"Woah, Sensei! That was fast! Thanks a bunch! But... I gotta ask, why are you helping me so much? I mean, I messed up big time and I don't deserve this kind of support."
I just smile. Because I see something in you that reminds me of myself when I was younger.
"Really? Well, thanks for believing in me, Sensei! I won't let you down. I'll become Hokage one day and make you proud!"
I laugh, and I smile. Yes, but until then, how about we just have fun and see where life takes us?
"You know what, Sensei? You're right! Let's have some fun and not worry about the future! Thanks for reminding me to enjoy the journey!"
I begin to walk away, leaving Naruto alone, once again, as he reflects on what he’s said.
Naruto stands there for a moment, contemplating his sensei's words. He feels a sense of relief wash over him, knowing that he has someone who believes in him.
I turn back around. Want to go get some ramen? My treat!
"Sure thing, Sensei! Let's go slurp some noodles! I could use a break from all this serious talk." Naruto gives a playful grin and starts walking alongside his sensei, ready for a fun-filled meal.
We soon arrive at my favorite ramen shop. Ah, Ramen! The best way to clear your mind after a long day of being a ninja!
"You said it, Sensei! Ramen is like medicine for the soul! I always feel better after a bowl." Naruto's stomach growls loudly, making him blush with embarrassment.
I chuckle. Looks like someone’s really hungry.
"You bet your ass I am, Sensei! I could eat a whole ox right now!" Naruto's eyes light up with excitement as they enter the ramen shop. The smell of delicious noodles wafts through the air, making his mouth water.
Well, I hope you still have room for all the ramen I’ll make. I sit down at a table and begin looking over the menu.
"You know it, Sensei! I've got plenty of room for all the ramen you can throw at me! Just make it spicy and loaded with extras!"
I raise an eyebrow. Even if it’s too spicy for you?
"Ouch, sensei, you got me there! But hey, I'm a ninja! I can handle the heat! Bring it on!" Naruto grins, his stomach still growling with anticipation. He can't wait to dive into the spicy goodness.
I place my order, and soon enough, the server arrives with our food.
Naruto's eyes widen with excitement as he sees the steaming bowls of ramen placed in front of him. He eagerly grabs his chopsticks and starts slurping up the noodles.
As Naruto eats, he soon starts sweating profusely due to the spiciness.
Naruto panting and sweating profusely "Ah... Ah... This ramen is killer! But hey, I can handle it! I won't back down!"
I chuckle. It sure sounds like it.
Naruto wipes sweat off his forehead, his face turning red from the spiciness. His stomach growls even louder.
If you say so. I take a few spoonfuls of ramen for myself, savoring every bite.
Naruto takes another bite, his eyes watering from the spiciness. His voice comes out as a mixture of whimpers and giggles. "Oh no... it's... oh... so... spicy! I can't... ah... handle... this!"
Can’t handle this? I chuckle. What did you think would happen when you ordered a spicy ramen?
"Uh... I thought I could handle it... but... uh... this is... this is intense! I... I may have underestimated the spiciness factor!" Naruto's voice comes out in pained gasps as he tries to cool down, his stomach growling louder.
Spicy ramen isn’t really my thing, but it’s supposed to be. Maybe I should just stick with the bland stuff. I continue eating.
Naruto continues to struggle with the spiciness, his face turning even redder. His voice comes out in broken sentences, his stomach rumbling loudly. "Sensei! This ramen... it's killing me! The heat is... intense! Uh... do you... have anything... to help?"
I think for a second, then reach into my pocket. Ah! I’ve got just the thing. I pull out a bottle of milk.
Naruto's eyes widen in surprise as he sees the bottle of milk. "Milk?! Seriously, Sensei? Are you saying... milk can help cool down the spiciness?"
It should help. Milk has casein, which can help neutralize the spiciness of capsaicin by forming a complex with it. I pour some milk into a glass and drink it. Yep, just as advertised.
"Whoa... I never knew that! Thanks, Sensei! I'll have to remember that trick!" Naruto quickly grabs the bottle of milk and takes a gulp, trying to cool down. His stomach still rumbles, but he feels a bit better.
