ICHIRAKU RAMEN SHOP

As the pair of young blondes made their way inside the small comfy restaurant, they were greeted by the kind hearted owner.

"Naruto-kun! It's good to see you again, my boy." Teuchi says with a smile.

"Hey Old Man! It's good to see you too. Where's Ayame-chan?" Naruto asked.

"She's not feeling so well today, so I gave her the day-off" Teuchi told him.

"Aww that's too bad. Well, tell her that I miss her, and I hope she gets well soon." Naruto said with a smile.

"Will do, my boy. I'm sure it will make her feel much better, knowing that you care about her" said the humble ramen chef, but in his mind he knew that the little blonde's sweet-words would just melt his daughter's heart out.

Ino on the other hand felt a little out of place. She has no idea what the two males are talking about. She can only assume that this Ayame girl, is the chef's daughter. And have some sort of relationship with her fellow blonde.

A part of her felt curious to know more, but the other part felt a little jealous that the Chef's daughter is already so close to the young Senju boy she just met.

Teuchi then finally noticed the platinum blonde girl standing beside his favourite customer, and decided to ask.

"And who's your cute little friend, Naruto-kun?" He asked curiously with a hint of tease in his voice.

"This is Ino. Ino Yamanaka. I ran into her on the street earlier." Naruto introduced.

"Literally actually. He didn't see where he was going, and he knocked me down on my butt" Ino added.

"And I picked you up. So no big deal, right?" Naruto defended himself.

"Yeah you did. AFTER you let my butt stay on that dirty floor for about, I don't know....AN HOUR." Ino slightly exaggerated.

"Oh don't be so dramatic, Ino. It was less than 10 minutes and you know it." Naruto said with a scoff.

"And yet....IT WAS THE LONGEST 10 MINUTES OF MY LIFE!" Ino said dramatically.

Naruto is about to argue back, but their little bickering was stopped when they heard a soft laughter coming from the Ramen Chef.

They gave him a confuse look, until Naruto decided to ask.

"What's so funny, Teuchi-san?" Asked by the confuse whiskered face boy.

"Hahaha it's just.....you two make such a cute couple" Teuchi said with an innocent smile.

The blonde pair instantly blush red at old man's words, as they immediately looked away from each other to avoid eye contact.

They are so flustered that they will say anything to cover-up their embarrassment.

"D-Don't be crazy, Mr Teuchi! I w-would never be with a stubborn klutz like him!" Ino yelled out.

Naruto is a little offended, as it shows the tick mark on his head, so he decided to retaliate.

"Well excuse me! I wouldn't want to be with a bossy little princess like her either!" Naruto fired back.

Now it is Ino's turn to be offended, as she glares angrily at her fellow blonde, while he returns the glare right back at her.

They even growled at each other which made the old man sweat-dropped.

Teuchi could actually see 'lightning' shooting through their eyes at each other. He then decided to intervene before it escalates.
