[NAME]'s PERSPECTIVE

Ichiraku's Ramen.

Hidden Leaf.
╰────────────╯

"[Name]..." the hot steam of his ramen blew in his face, he looked down at his bowl and fiddled with the two chopsticks that rested in the bowl. She slowly placed her chopsticks back down in her bowl, continuing her chewing as she looked over at the Uzumaki that called her.

It had been relatively quiet been the two as the two ate their ramen in a somewhat scarce of a silence. He wanted to hear what she had to say about her two years practically alone in Konoha, while he told of his adventures of traveling around different parts of the Land of Fire. "Is..everything okay?" he asked, looking over to her as she flinched upon his question. "I suppose..it's just difficult for me to make the right choices when I don't think they're the right choices.." she had confusingly stated to the boy before she laughed. "Like this ramen seems like a good choice but I don't think it really is..now."

He hummed in response, laughing at her statement about the Ramen as he somewhat understood what she meant at the moment. "It's..just been so long since we've seen each other.. We're acting like a bunch of strangers ya know?" he had a point, they had never gone that long without seeing each other, and maybe it caused a sever between the two. [Name] frowned at the Uzumaki's words. Reminiscing upon what her Grandfather had told her years beforehand as she realized it was having a hand in Naruto's statement. "I thought you hated me or something after the whole Sasuke thing.." he mumbled out.

The girl raised an eyebrow at the boy's sudden assumption, looking at him in bewilderment before he continued. "I..sent you letters while I was gone and—" her heart dropped, he sent letters? "You did?" She cut him off, as he looked at her confusingly at her response. "Naruto.., I never got one..you did mark it correctly and everything right?"

"Yeah of course! I had Pervy Sage send them off for me and everything.." he responded, as the girl thought in-depth for a moment. She looked back at her bowl of ramen as she picked up the chopsticks. She halted for a moment as her mind began to piece together something. Her gripping of the chopsticks within her hand caused a snap to be heard from her hands shortly afterward. "[Name]?" he questioned, as he noticed her quiet in thoughtfulness.

"I'm sorry.." she apologized in a mutter, sighing out as she realized what happened to the letters. The main house... "Im sorry that I didn't get your letters.." A glare pertaining from her eyes as she still faced away from the Uzumaki. "It's fine..! Ya know, all I did was ramble..nothing important." She still could hear the disappointment in his voice despite trying to reassure her. She sighed out as she looked over at him, she unclasped her hands as the debris of broken pieces of chopsticks began to fall out.
