Naruto claps his hands together, muttering ‘itadakimasu’ before he goes on and starts gobbling the steaming ramen in front of him.

It’s been almost seven years since he’s dropped into this world. Their ramen was not as good as what they had in Ichiraku, but it’s still good even though he missed Ichiraku Ramen.

“Here you go, Naruto-kun,” said the waitress as she put down a glass of water on his table with a kind smile on her face. She’s an older woman, already in her 40s. She and her husband have kind of taken a liking to him because they do not have child of their own.

Finishing his ramen, he drank the water, gulping it down. “Thank you, Kaide-san,” he said with his signature bright smile. “It’s good as always.”

He suddenly felt bad saying that when he just ate it while thinking about Ichiraku Ramen. But hey! You can’t blame him for missing the food he grew to love.

The woman looked at him amicably, the corners of her eyes crinkling slightly. “It’s nothing, my boy,” she said, cleaning the table. “Aren’t you supposed to be in school now?"

Naruto bites the bottom of his lip, thinking. Right, School. He’s currently posing as a student. He decides to travel around the world after gaining some information about where he is and what kind of world it is.

Modern world.

It’s been seven years since then, but he hasn’t changed a bit at all. He still looks like his seventeen-year-old self. The first thing he thought was because he's an Uzumaki, knowing their long life force and how they actually age slower compared to others.

But it was seven years, and that’s a very long time for him. He was still looking the same when he came into this world. He came up with the thought that it had something to do with what happened to him when he was dropped there.

It was different from where he came from. For example, the technology here is more advanced than what they had in their original world.

He loves the thing they call television, though. It keeps him entertained. Watching those shows and the ones they called movies that they also had in his world. But he likes how clear they are here.

Through his travels, he used different identities, using the henge no jutsu. Of course, there’s going to be trouble if someone notices that he’s not aging. He didn’t want anyone to take an interest in him and wanted him to be some kind of lab rat.

Well, it is not like they will be able to catch him.

Then, knowing how he was, he got bored with all those world travels and just decided to take a little break from them. He has a small condo unit near the school he’s going to.

He is Uzumaki Naruto—yes, he decided to use his real name during his stay in Tokyo; he's in his second year of high school. It’s been a month since he came to Tokyo and started attending school.

Taking care of his identification is kind of a hassle and a lot of work, though. But it was nothing compared to the long, sleepless war he’d been in before.
