Naruto: Muddled Generation
 

This one begins as a normal day in the leaf village with the strive to be better then all the rest hot on Naruto's mind more then ever right now. It should have been a relatively normal day but... the universe just had to butt in and screw things up.

To start with, I'm Naruto and you're Josuke correct?

That is correct~)

"Oi~ Naruto." A familiar voice called out. Running up beside the orange clad ninja was a young man, dressed in a black Shirt with a white hood, a pair of dark blue shorts, and mesh decorating his forearms and shins. Atop his forehead, like Naruto, he also wore a hidden leaf headband.

He was Josuke Gonzukai, a fellow genin of the hidden leaf.

"Oh... hey..." Naruto looked behind him with an unnerved pout on his face. He was just off to Ichiraku for some nice alone time but he wasn't too certain about having company. Though, anyone was probably better then someone like Sasuke. Similar sounding names or not.

Josuke raised a brow. "Well you certainly look sour this morning....what's up?" He asked, walking in front of him.

"Don't go assuming junk. Things could have been just fine before you showed up for all you know." Naruto got rid of his pout and smirked. "But hey, you can be useful. Mind paying for my ramen?"

Josuke stuck his tongue out in response. "You wish~ Like I could afford YOUR appetite. Besides." he reached into his pocket and pulled out a rice ball. "I'm taken care of for food~"

"Eww. Why would you keep something like that in your pocket. Especially on a day like this. The sun is gonna get it all melty and gross." He said as he walked to the restaurant. Once there he noticed people who wouldn't normally be there.

His young friend Konohamaru and one of the girls. However, he couldn't make out which one from where he was.

Josuke rolled his eyes. "I JUST bought it, it's fine." he followed up by taking a bite. "Mmm~" He turned his head and also took notice of Konohamaru and one of the girls.

Konohamaru was already helping himself to a bowl of Ramen. He had really taken after Naruto since their first meeting, but of course, he wasn't eating ramen to be LIKE Naruto, but to surpass him, afterall, he did consider the two of them to be rivals~ What what better way to surpass him than to do everything he did, but better?

The girl sitting there was Sakura. That was surprising. Why in the world would she be hanging out with Konohamaru of all people.

Oh no! Maybe she was just into really little kids! Of course! It all made sense now! No way she could resist a stud like him!

"Konohamaru! What's the deal?" Naruto asked.

Sakura turned and spotted Naruto and Josuke. "Oh hey Josuke. Naruto..." Sakura trailed off annoyed.

"Um...hey Sakura. What brings you to Ichiraku?" Josuke asked, a little curious as well as to why the two of them would be hanging out together.

"Oh! Hey Naruto~" Konohamaru was a little more enthusiastic to see Naruto than Sakura was.
