"Enter!" The Raikage called out as he dropped his weight to the floor with a smash.
The door opened to reveal one of his messenger ninja with a scroll in hand; the ninja walked up and bowed before presenting him the scroll.
A grabbed the scroll and unfurled it before reading its contents. As he did a grin crept onto his face, apparently three of his shinobi had made it to the finals. This would be the perfect opportunity to check out the caliber of the other nation's shinobi, as he thought of that another thought entered his mind. One that made his smile widen even more. Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze had been reported to have arrived at Konoha about one or months ago, and had taken up his Clan name. No doubt Yugito would love to see the young man again; he looked up at the messenger before speaking.
"Get me Bee and Yugito!" A said as he stood up.
They were heading to Konoha.
Mei had a large and content smile on her face as she and Naruto walked through the streets of Konoha. After a hearty breakfast Naruto had decided to take Mei out on a tour, showing her the many sights the village had to offer. She had to smile at the different places he had taken her; each one seemed to have a rather funny story to it. Most of the places he had shown her revolved around one of the many pranks he had pulled when he was a child. Her favorite story had been when he had taken her through the Clan district of Konoha, and shown her the Hyuuga estate. He had given her the story of how he had snuck into the estate during the night, and he had managed to dye all of their underwear a bright pink color, and hang them up around the village.
She dutifully ignored the stares of jealousy and envy she was receiving from the various females they had passed. Mei figured that Naruto would be popular given his good looks and Clan Status, so while it was annoying she could deal with it. She also had to admit that it was rather amusing that these girls thought they had a chance with Naruto. Mei could proudly claim that she was one of the few people who truly knew the young blond Clan Head, so she knew that he would never consider getting with some fan girl.
As the two walked around Mei took Naruto to several clothing stores, trying on different outfits to tease her blond fiancé with. She even went so far as to come out wearing nothing but a bikini, though that ended up causing a bit of a problem when Naruto smashed his fist into the face of a man who had given Mei a cat call. Other than that they merely walked around discussing various topics that interested them, they made sure to avoid anything even remotely ninja or Kage related.
Eventually Naruto stopped them when the two found themselves standing in front of the Ichiraku's Ramen bar. The place had gotten a lot more crowded than it used to be, a combination of Naruto's new found fame and the Ichiraku's new menu managed to give the place new life. After the blond had returned from his training trip and visited the Ramen stand for the first time, he had suggested that they expand their menu to make more than just ramen. Naruto had even given the stand owner and his daughter a few recipes from his mothers cook books. Now the place had become so popular that they had actually needed to make an outdoor area for guests to eat there, as well as hire more help to keep them from being overwhelmed.
"Come on Mei-chan," Naruto said as he gently tugged on her hand and entered the stand. When he did many of the people eating their stopped and stared, something that had been happening quite often now a days and never ceased to both amuse and annoy the blond shinobi. Several of the men there were giving Mei looks of lust and looked like they might start giving her cat calls, however Naruto turned an icy glare on them causing whatever they were going to say to die in their throats. Once the people there began to start conversation again, Naruto made his way to the front of the stand. As always the seat that was specifically reserved for him was open, Naruto smiled as he sat down and pulled Mei with him. As he secured his arms around the red head, Naruto looked over at Teuchi who was cooking some food over a stove. "Oi! Teuchi-Ojisan how about some ramen for your favorite customer!"
Old man Teuchi turned around when he heard the familiar voice, "Ah Naruto-kun it's good to…" he trailed off as he saw the beautiful woman sitting in the blonds lap. A sly grin crossed the old man's face as he looked at the two, "who is this lovely young lady your with Naruto? Your girlfriend?"
Naruto grinned at the man who had been one of the few people to ever treat him like a human being when he was younger. "Close Ojisan, very close," Naruto cleared his throat as he introduced the two to each other. "Mei-chan this is Teuchi-Ojisan, owner of the best Ramen stand in the entire elemental nations. Ojisan this is Mei Terumi, one of my most precious people and someone I hope to spend the rest of my life with."
While Mei blushed at the rather bold proclamation, Teuchi just blinked for a moment as he looked the two over. As he did he noticed the two's interlocked hands, or more specifically the ring on Mei's left hand. The old man chuckled for a bit before speaking, "so what kind of ramen can I get you and you're… lady friend?"
Naruto grinned, "Start me off with three bowls of Miso and we'll make our way from there."
"And I'll have some shrimp ramen with a side of dorayaki (1)," Mei said as she looked over the menu. While ramen was not her favorite food, she had to admit that it was good on occasion and if Naruto's bragging was anything to go by, the ramen would be even better here.
Teuchi nodded as he turned his head to the back, "Oi Ayame! Why don't you help me make some Miso for our favorite customer?"
