Chapter 31

Five months had passed by and at the Forest of Death, the three odd bunch which includes a scary blonde haired Naruto, a one-horned bull Kuromaru and a violence loving psychopath Konohamaru.

All three were having their lunch after a long and hellish training Kuromaru had a sack full of smoked beef and Konohamaru had five extra large bows of ramen and Naruto was enjoying the bento Hinata gave him with a bright smile. That was sooo out of place.

You see, in life there some people who should should not smile. Not everyone can give a beautiful smile.

For the past five months of training for Konohamaru, and three years for kuromaru they knew very well that ( bright smiles ) + ( Naruto ) = ?????

You see, Naruto and bright smiles don't go well together, just like

That's was an awful imagery.

What caused Naruto to smile so brightly that as if, the sun itself could not out shine him?

Well, the answer lies inside his bento. The entire Hyuga household have agreed that Hinata was the best cook in the entire village. Even the Akimichi clan members could not hold a candle in front of her. And the most amazing thing is that, she is only six years old!!!

Kuromaru and Konohamaru could do nothing but gulp loudly as they watch with envy and drool falling down their mouths at Naruto, eating Hinata's bento.

They wanted to ask Naruto for just a tiny bite... but they didn't dare to say it... especially in front of him.

Kuromaru had firsthand experience that you never steal someone's lunch, especially Naruto's especially when it was given by Hinata, or loosing an arm by a chopstick would be the most lenient punishment. Konohamaru had it the hard way.

It was two months ago, they were having lunch after training. Konohamaru had taken in the heavenly aroma from Naruto's bento, he could not even control himself as he took a piece of pork from Naruto's bento. Then there was half a minute of silence.

No matter how much a person says that he or she finds any food is delicious as long it is edible, they always have their favorite food. And unfortunately for Konohamaru, Naruto's favorite food is pork...

Naruto was being merciful, so he just gave an iron claw to Konohamaru's skull.

Currently, after learning their lesson, they could only watch and drool with envy as they watch Naruto eating his lunch with relish.

' I wish to get a tiny bite of that bento.' Both Kuromaru and Konohamaru wished in their thoughts.

After, a hearty lunch, Naruto stood in front of Konohamaru. The latter was sitting in a lotus position focusing intently to bear the suffering that was supposedly to come.

" Alright, Konohamaru I hope you're ready." Naruto said with a look that said ' You better be.'

" I was born ready!" Konohamaru declared with gusto.

" You better be, because we didn't spend five months for nothing you know." Kuromaru said.

" I know! I know! "

" Well, here it goes nothing." Naruto said as he placed his palm on Konohamaru's head.

Konohamaru closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He was now ready.

" You known, there is still a 50% chance that you could explode right. " Naruto said out of the blue.

" What?!!! NANI!!! ''

Konohamaru vision suddenly went dark.

He felt power flowing inside his body, this power was sooo intoxicating, but he could also feel himself getting weaker by the second as if he could feel his lunch that in his belly was rapidly disappearing making him hungry very fast.

' That must be the first backlash he talked about. '

With all the will power he could muster, he managed to endure the hunger. Just in a few more moments, he would attain great strength, he could already imagined what things he could with this new found power.

His body felt soo weak, he was exhausted and hungry. So, he fell face first to the ground with a thud.

'' You still alive? " Naruto asked, as he poked Konohamaru's motionless body with a stick.

" F-fuck yeah ! '' he declared weakly.

'' How do you feel? ''

'' Nothing much but just feeling exhausted and hungry. ''

'' How about some Ramen. '' Kuromaru suggested.

'' Not a bad Idea. '' Naruto agreed. '' I'll have some extra large Miso ramen. "

" I want extra large beef ramen. '' Kuromaru added.

" That's canib- ''

'' I know it's cannibalism. Alright, what do you want Konohamaru? ''

'' I'll take five bowls of whatever you two ordered. "

'' Alright, lets get going. " Naruto said as he picked up Konohamaru and carried him piggyback style.

'' Welcome to the family of demons, third brother. ''

At Teuchi ramen shop ~

'' Sup old man, its your regular customers! '' Naruto declared as he entered the shop.

'' Welcome my regular customers, you'll have the usual I guessed... By the way what happened to the young man on your back. ''

'' Oh him? '' Naruto said as he put Konohamaru on a chair. '' He's just hungry after a long training. " to which Naruto then took a glass of water.

" Training eh? '' Teuchi said, ''You want to be a ninja or some thing.''

Naruto immediately broke the glass on his hand.

'' No. '' he said in an emotionless tone.

Teuchi was taken aback by this behavior, but he tried to keep calm face. '' You seem to hate them very much. ''

'' It was them that had cursed my life from the start. Why should I not hate? ''

'' You know not all of them are bad you know. '' The ninja was filled with so many kinds of ninjas. Even from a trashcan you can still find some valuable stuff, that is if can identify them.

'' I know that. '' Naruto said as he thought of Hinami, Hiashi, Hizashi. Then the future ninjas Neji, the tomboy Ten Ten and finally Hinata. They are and will be good ninjas.

'' Ya know, old man why does it seems that you don't show even a moment that you hate me like everyone in this village.'' From the moment he entered this shop and until now, this old man had never showed him those hateful looks, not treated him unfairly. He just showed him a compassionate smile and treated him very fairly.

'' Eh! Why shoulder I ever hate my regular customers especially the ones that pays me well.'' Teuchi said as he gave a hearty laugh.

'' Well that one thing. '' Naruto said as he chuckled.

' That was a lie old man... I know there is another reason, but you are not telling me.'

Their orders were placed in front of them, and on the floor for Kuromaru.

'' ITADAKIMAS!!!''

They had a hearty meal, and went home with a bulging stomach, and was very satisfied.

At the pit, they had already made Konohamaru's new room, but was empty. But hey ! it had a futon.

'' Good night. '' Konohamaru said as he went to sleep. After a few seconds, he was already in the dreamland.

But he was not in the dreamland. He was in a deep conversation with Shiro in his head.

'' Dawg, today was an epic day man! '' Shiro enthusiastically exclaimed.

'' I felt everything brother. '' Konohamaru commented. '' I felt something entered me and it felt good. ''

?

?

?

" Ya know, that sounded very vulgar. ''

'' It's very vulgar indeed.'' An unknown voice was heard in Konohamaru's mind.

Konohamaru and Shiro turned towards the intruder.

'' Who the fuck are you? ''
