"It means you make friends in an entirely different meaning than that which is normally meant," said Toltiir.
"I don't get it," said Naruto.
"Observe then," said Toltiir, popping up a 48" plasma HD screen which then began displaying a scene.
Age 6:
The little boy snuck into the area that he clearly wasn't supposed to get into.
He WOULD become Hokage some day! He WOULD be acknowledged! People would HAVE to give him some respect then!
The little boy stopped and watched as a bunch of people did some elaborate something-or-other and caused objects to appear out of nowhere!
When he saw books being studied, and scrolls, and diagrams, he just HAD to learn more!
pocket dimension:
"This isn't going to go too well, is it?" asked Naruto.
"Depends on your definition," qualified the cat.
three years later:
"Okay, Naruto, this is your chance to tell your part of the story," said the Hokage to the little boy of ten.
"Uhm, well, I been reading a lot," said the fidgeting little boy.
"Yes," prompted the Hokage.
"I don't do so good at the Academy, but I been studying lots away from it," said the little boy with a shrug. "Mostly fuuinjutsu but I been learning other stuff."
"It has come to my attention," said the Hokage.
"So it all just kinda clicked the other day," said Naruto with another shrug.
"Which somehow involved in hundreds of gallons of chicken broth flooding your apartment building," prompted the Hokage.
"I was just trying a ramen-summoning fuuinjutsu," said Naruto. "It didn't work right."
"Then there was the noodle monster," said the Hokage. "That fought off three ANBU."
"Also trying to summon ramen," protested Naruto. "I was closer!"
"Fortunately it tried to escape into the Inuzuka compound was promptly dealt with," said the Hokage thoughtfully.
"Kuromaru thanked me for the meal," pointed out Naruto. "Said it tasted like chicken."
"Then the next day you managed to summon giant pigs," said the Hokage.
"I was trying for tonkatsu ramen," mumbled Naruto.
"Fortunately, the Inuzuka clan dogs seems to be stationing members outside your apartment lately," stated the Hokage.
"Urp!" said Kuromaru.
"Putting on a little weight, aren't you?" asked Tsume.
"Kid may be a screwup, but he manages to put out a good spread," said Kuromaru.
There were various yaps and yowls of agreement from several other of the ninja dogs. Also a rather large belch.
"The day after the giant pigs, you ended up with miso ramen."
"I was very close that time," protested Naruto.
"What were you going to do with thousands of gallons of miso ramen? Swim in it?" asked the Hokage.
"Ooooooo," said Naruto, apparently not having thought of that but now really liking the idea.
"It would go bad before you could eat it all," pointed out the Hokage.
"Well..." Naruto let it trail off.
"I'm going to designate an area for your fuuinjutsu experiments," said the Hokage after a few more moments of contemplation. "There will be members of the Inuzuka clan present in case there are any more problems of this nature."
"Really?!" asked Naruto eagerly. He had thought that he'd be forbidden from his experiments.
"That doesn't seem so bad," said Naruto.
"Why would it be bad? This is just setup to get to your wish," explained Toltiir.
"Eh?" asked Naruto.
"See," said Toltiir. "Age twelve, three months before the genin test, which you miss because of exhaustion summoning:"
