[五] Audio (Action if anyone stops by the Uzumaki house)

[believeit]

[With the disappearance of his Father and then his Mother a couple days after, Naruto has been feeling pretty down. He isn't sure how to deal with it but for now, FOOD seems to be an option.]

So who makes the best ramen in Luceti?!

I wanna know, this is important! Ramen is my favourote food in the world, any world, so I gotta know who makes the best!

[Filtered:]

[After sending out the above audio, Naruto sends out a bunch of audio messages seperately, to Shikamaru, Lee, Sakura and Sasuke.]

Hey. What's going on?

[niceguypose]

Naruto-kun! I am working hard and training as we speak. [And possibly working through some burns.] I have to ensure that I am fully prepared for the jounin exams! [And Kakashi's return.]

What about yourself?

[voice]

[believeit]

Yeah, I guess I've been doing those things too.

[Maybe not as energetically the past day or two, though.]

Hey, you wanna train together or something?

[voice]

[niceguypose]

Yes, Naruto-kun! I would be glad to train with you. Shall it be today?!

[voice]

[believeit]

Yeah, it's not like I'm doing anything else. You wanna come over here?

[voice]

[niceguypose]

Good idea! Then I can say hello to your parents as well!

[voice]

[skyleopardess]

If you find out, let me know, hm? The stuff out of the package doesn't compare.

[She isn't a huge ramen fan, but it's a nice, comforting meal sometimes.]

[voice]

[believeit]

So you don't know? Aw, man.

I'll let you know when I find out, then!

[voice]

[believeit]

Er.. who're you anyway?

[voice]

[skyleopardess]

My name's Yoruichi. If I find anything promising, I'll pass it along.

[voice]

[believeit]

You got it! I'll do the same, so if you find out anything come tell me, yeah?

It's Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto, I live at 22, the house!

[musubi]

Me. I make the best.

[Well, maybe not, but still.]

You know there's only one real restaurant in Luceti, right? If you can't make your own, just stop by Seventh Heaven and have someone else make it for your lazy ass.

[believeit]

You do?!

I know Seventh Heaven- That's where that Rin guy works, right? [Or at the very least he remembers Rin mentioning it.]

I'm gonna come over there then- you're open today right?

[musubi]

Yeah, we're open most days.

[A pause.]

... You're not the sort of guy that'll eat a place empty, are you?

[believeit]

...Me? Haha! Of course not!!

[...MAYBE....]

[musubi]

... Right. I'll warn everyone ahead of time.

[Voice]

[endgames]

I was training.

[He sounds only mock annoyed to be interrupted. It's Shikamaru; as if he could be bothered by a reprieve from effort.]

[Voice]

[believeit]

So I'm doing you a favour, yeah? [He knows you, Shikamaru.]

Oi, can I ask you something? How do people tell the difference over who's disappeared form this place, and who's got kidnapped? Like I was?

[Voice]

[endgames]

[He can't help but think of Ino, who left days ago. Voice notably more mellow, he finds a log to sit on.]

When you're not sure if someone's been kidnapped or left for good, you check their stuff. If someone's been kidnapped, all of their things will still be around.

If they've gone back to their world, it'll look like a maid came in after and cleaned up any evidence that they once were here at all. No clothes, no personal effects. At best you might find some knick-knacks they left behind for someone, or a letter.

[Voice]

[believeit]

Ah, I get it.

[That's a fairly easy explanation, and one he understands.]

[A moment later:]

My Dad's gone, but all my Mom's stuff- like her clothes and hair stuff, they're still here.

[Voice]

[endgames]

How long's your mom been gone?

[He focuses on that for now, not sure how to go about offering condolences for Minato's departure. It's hard enough when someone you care about goes, but it was different for Naruto. Having both of his parents here was a window into the family life he never got to have.]

[ Voice ]

[rashness]

I'm not all that bad at it, if I do say so myself.

[ EH EH HE HEHEH ]

[ Voice ]

[believeit]

Well, that ramen I had for my birthday was pretty good! I wonder if anyone can beat it!

[ Voice ]

[rashness]

If they did though, I'd wanna meet 'em and get the tricks they're usin'!

[ Voice ]

[believeit]

You should make some and give it to me. Y'know, just so I can make sure it's still good.

[ Voice ]

[rashness]

Wait, so you're askin' for a house order? That's pretty cocky!
