It's been two days since Goku learned he was forced into a political marriage with Tamari of the Sand and placed in the C.R.A.

It was early afternoon when Jiraiya left Goku to look for Naruto. At that time, Jiraiya was planning to finish his investigation across the village before going to find Tsunade.

Goku: Damn, that pervert had to leave me alone looking for Naruto while he goes and takes a peek at naked women in the local baths. It's noon, and there's only one place where Naruto is now-Ichiraku's Ramen.

When Goku arrives at Ichiraku's Ramen, he sees Naruto standing there without any clothing on but his green boxers while he checks his pants for a coupon that will allow him to get free ramen. Goku finds it odd to see Naruto in such a sorry state. The cook tells Naruto he can't eat if he can't find that coupon.

Goku: Am I interrupting something important here? Perhaps it would be best if I returned later.

Naruto: Oh, hey, Goku, you are not interrupting anything. I'm just looking for my free ramen coupon.

Goku: So why did you take off your pants?

Naruto: Weren't you listening? I'm looking for my free ramen coupon.

Goku: Uh-huh, that makes sense, I guess. I'll tell you what, Naruto, place whatever order you want since I'll pay for the ramen today.

Naruto: Really?

Naruto commented with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.

Goku: You got it. But before we continue, could you please put your clothes back on? I don't want everyone looking at us strangely.

As Goku and Naruto complete their 12th bowl of ramen each, Goku asks Naruto whether he would be interested in going on a mission with him and Jiraiya. Naruto says that he would, but he has to train.

Goku: Hey, Naruto, Jiraiya, and I have a mission outside the Leaf Village. Would you like to join us?

Naruto: I can't because I must prepare for my training. I have to get up to speed with Sasuke as quickly as possible.

Goku: If training interests you, then you should join us. I'm sure that Ero-Sannin won't mind assisting you with your workout, and I'm also confident that he'll be able to teach you a thing or two while you're working together on this mission.

Naruto: He won't mind if I ask him for help with my training. Then let me go home and pack the stuff I need to bring. I'll catch up with you guys at the main entrance gates if you don't mind waiting there.

Goku, on the other hand, was heading in the opposite direction. He was making his way toward the main gates of the Leaf Village to catch up with Jiraiya. Naruto sped off in the direction of his apartment and started running.

Goku: You wrap up your research as quickly as possible. I was getting to the point where I thought it was pretty unlikely that I could meet you within the next several hours.

Goku looked at Jiraiya while he had a profound look on his face.

Jiraiya: It wasn't that type of research.
