Naruto was walking through the streets in his normal, orange jumpsuit one fine Konoha day munching on some Pocky. As usual, the villigars were glaring at him and moving out of his way when he passed, but he didn’t notice. He was in Pocky heaven.
‘Mmm…I can’t believe I didn’t know about this delectable treat.’ He thought. ‘If Ramen is the perfect meal, then Pocky must certainly be the perfect dessert and snack. It’s so delicious. So delectable, palatable, even. The creamy outer shell of flavor, the crunchy biscuit beneath, the easy access package. It’s all so, so…’
“Perfect for you?” A shopman in a dark shirt with some strange language on it and wearing khaki cargoes asked unexpectedly.
Naruto answered without thinking. “Yeah, perfect.”
“Then it’s yours.”
Naruto blinked as a box was shoved into his unexpecting hands. He nearly dropped it but his ninja reflexes kicked in and he caught it. “What the hell is this?”
The shopman grinned. “Don’t worry about a charge, kid. I could tell you needed a new wardrobe and the last guy who had such bad fashion sense looked killer in this.”
“But…” Naruto looked down at the box. “But thi-“ He cut himself off as he noticed the shopman (and his shop) were gone. “Eh? Where did he go?”
Naruto looked around that area for a bit, confused, before he finally gave up and turned back towards his apartment, carrying his new acquisition and still happily munching on Pocky.
When Naruto finally got back to his apartment, he took care of the most important thing first: lunch. After downing two cups of Instant Ramen, he finally turned his attention to the strange box he had been handed.
“Now, let’s see what’s in this box.”
