BAP! Kushina used her mother's right to indicate her displeasure at something.
"Ow!" responded Naruto, rubbing the top of his head. "What was that for?"
"You've got one girl who likes you and you're after some other girl?" asked Kushina. "Boys who play with girls' hearts are trash."
"It's not like that!" protested Naruto.
"Oh?" asked the game show host. "What is it like?"
With the rest of the studio having darkened, and a spotlight focussed on him from above, Naruto was feeling reluctant to continue this line of inquiry.
"Why is the shinigami still here?" asked Minato, a little put off by the presence of that Being.
"I think it's mainly someone you've already met managed to offend the death god by messing with death-related kinjutsu," said Toltiir. "Poaching on a god's territory is generally frowned on, mostly by the god you're poaching on."
"Well," said Naruto, changing the subject. "Can I get a talking jutsu gadget too?"
"Not unless you wish for it," said Toltiir.
"Well..." said Naruto.
"If you could do that, why not wish that all your girlfriends had one?" asked Kushina.
"But I want an awesome jutsu too," whined Naruto.
"You only get one wish at this point," pointed out Toltiir. "So be careful what you say."
"So, who is this 'Sakura' girl?" asked Kushina.
"She's this really smart girl in class," supplied Naruto.
"Sakura Haruno," answered Toltiir. "Naruto has a crush on her, she has a crush on Sasuke Uchiha. Both are unrequited."
"Un-re-quieted?" asked Naruto.
"Unrequited," supplied Kushina. "It means you like someone but they don't like you the same way."
"Oh," said Naruto, going quiet for a moment.
"And yes, you could wish that anyone you liked - liked you the same way," said Toltiir. "Now back to the game show with your next question!"
"What would you wish for?" asked Naruto.
"Me?" asked Toltiir, putting a paw on his chest and considering that. "I'd probably wish that more people had a sense of humor. And for some tea, maybe with those little jam-covered cakes. It's been awhile since I had a really good cake."
"Cake?" asked Naruto, disbelieving.
"The cake is not always a lie," said Toltiir sagely. "Sometimes the pie is the lie."
"I don't get it," said Naruto.
"Not many people would," admitted Toltiir.
"Ding!" went a bell.
"And that question, oddly enough, was NOT on the board, so you can spin the Wheel again!" said Toltiir, motioning Naruto forward.
"Uhm, maybe... Hinata! Hinata can spin the wheel!" said Naruto.
"I still want to hear more about you two-timing girls," said Kushina, momentarily projecting an aura of malice.
Hinata nervously got to the wheel, glanced at Naruto and then his parents, took hold of the wheel and gave it a pull with all of her might.
The clicker clacked, the clacker clicked, and the wheel made a lazy spin before stopping.
"That was completely uninspired," noted Toltiir. "It didn't even go around all the way."
"So-sorry," apologized Hinata, who then grabbed it and managed to spin it a little harder.
It actually made it all the way around and came to a halt with the pointer pointing.
"Resurrection," noted Toltiir. "Okay, choose one."
"One what?" asked Naruto.
"One person who is dead who you want returned to life," said Toltiir, thinking that part had been obvious.
In the stands the shinigami stood up and held two fingers up.
"Okay, the shinigami is DOUBLING that," said Toltiir. "Choose TWO people to return to life."
