chapter one

(Y/N) POV
"(Name)-Chan!" A voice called out to me. I woke up to see my friend Sarada. Sarada Uchiha. "Oh, hello Sarada." I said getting up from the tree stump I had fallen asleep on. Sarada smiled before speaking again, "You must've been really tired... Well, we're going to Lightning Burger! With Boruto and Mitsuki!" She said, adjusting her glasses on her porcelain features.

"I'm not feeling really hungry... You guys go on without me." I said, a small smile on my face. The dark haired 17 year old next to me sighed, "Fine. If you say so. But it's no fun without you!" She whined, playing with her red quiapo. "It's fine, I'm sure Boruto and Mitsuki will understand. I'm just not feeling it today." I responded, making her smile a bit.

"Fine." She said getting up and dusting her red clothing with her hands. "I guess I'll let you go, but next time we should go together!" She said, about to leave the Team 7 training grounds. "Okay, okay." I said with an eye roll. Sarada giggled before she exited the training grounds as I followed suit.

My stomach growled. I was hungry but definitely not for Lightning Burger. Boruto has been taking everyone there for the past month, and I think if I have another Super Sour Burger I think I might throw up. Where should I eat? I thought, running out of the training grounds to try and find somewhere decent to eat.

I ran around through the village, avoiding Lightning Burger, so that my team won't see me. I finally gave up and just decided to go to a nearby ramen booth, Ichiraku Ramen. It was a rather small ramen stand, but well known, of course nothing on Lightning Burger's level, but I still liked the vibes of it. I softly smiled as I opened up the flap door and walked in.

There was also one other person there. The seventh hokage. "What's up (Y/N)!" The blonde haired hokage greeted me with a smile. I smiled back. "Hello, Hokage-sama!" I said, sitting down on one of Ichiraku's few stools. He wore an orange long sleeved shirt, with black stripes a the bottom, and black pants with black ninja shoes. He wasn't wearing the hokage cape or robes, nor the hat, just his normal clothes.

I was currently situated right next to Naruto on the left side of the ramen booth, talking with each other. "I never expected you to be here." I said putting my head in my arms as I locked eyes with his beautiful blue ones. He nodded, looking back at his ramen, slurping it up, as a few bowls were piled up next to him.

Jesus, he's hot, but he's married, dammit! I thought as Naruto gave me a tired smile, "This has been my favorite restaurant ever since I was a little kid, believe it!" He said, flashing me a smile. "I came here because everyone else wanted to go to Lightning Burger. I swear, I will throw up if I have to eat that again." I said, sighing in relief. Naruto cracked a smile as his chopsticks dove straight into the noodles.

"What are you going to order?" He asked, running a hand through his short, spiky, blonde hair. "I dunno, I guess whatever you're having. You seem to know a lot about this place." I said, as he gave me a closed eye grin. I smiled at him as his blue eyes locked with my own. "Can I get two orders of Miso Tonkotsu?" Naruto asked Ayame, who was the current owner of Ichiraku ramen.

"Coming right up!" She yelled back at us, and went to prepare the ramen. Naruto tousled my hair, messing it up. Me, an almost eighteen year old girl cracked a small smile at the hokage's behavior. Ayame almost immediately gave us our ramen. "Man, this is fast!" I said, breaking apart my wooden chopsticks, inhaling the delicious smell of the ramen.

"Well, it has to be fast if it's going to feed me!" He said, his pearly white teeth showing. I smiled as I dug into my ramen, slurping it up. The ramen was so good! How have I not had ramen here before!? Screw Lightning Burger, this is where it's at. I thought, a small smile on my face.

"Good, right?" The blonde hokage said from beside me. His tall figure sat right next to mine, both of us eating our ramen. "Yeah, it is." I said with a soft smile. Naruto gave me a tired smile before he sighed, "Being hokage is really tough, believe it. It's a lot of work. I just come here to relax. It's a nostalgia point." He said, his blue eyes looking deep inside my own (e/c) orbs.

"It must be... My only dream right now is to become the best kunoichi I can be." I said, rubbing the back of my head. Naruto smiled. "That's a good goal too. I think you'll become one of the best, believe it!" He said, giving me an encouraging smile, nudging me with his elbow. "I hope so." I said, looking back at him, hopeful, as I ate.

The rest of the meal went great, I just conversed with Lord Seventh. But then the pay came up, and I was planning on paying with my own money. "Here's my money, for the meal." I said, putting the cash on the table, but Naruto picked up my money and put it back in my hands. "No, I'll pay for both of the meals, believe it!" He said, handing his money to Ayame to cover his, and my meal.

"Hokage-sama, you didn't have to do that." I said, walking out of the ramen booth side by side with Naruto. "Don't worry! It's what a good person does." He said, giving me a thumbs up, and a grin. "Thank you then." I responded finally, walking in the direction of my apartment. "Bye (Y/N)!" He said, waving before running off to the hokage's office.

I smiled, a genuine smile, before going back to my own home to get some rest. Today had been a long day, and I have been consistently training for more than half of the day, with my squad and alone as well. I walked down some empty streets before I finally reached my apartment complex. It was on the very top of the building, right underneath the terrace.

I took the stairs up, watching the sun set as I made my way to my humble abode. It wasn't much, it was small, one bedroom, one bathroom, and the living room and kitchen were in the same room as well. But it was all I could get, as a single child, no parents in sight, and no family friends, pretty much nobody. That was until I met Boruto, Mitsuki, Sarada, and all of my current friends, when I was fourteen.

When I got up to my apartment I opened the door and trudged in, heading straight for my bedroom so I could get some beauty sleep. Tomorrow I have some training, and I'm learning a new jutsu anyway. I quickly changed into a tight black camisole and short white shorts. I quickly tied up my hair into a loose bun and jumped into my bedsheets, smiling as I tucked myself into my white covers of my bed.

I turned around to finally meet my eyes to the stars as I drifted off to sleep.
