"Hey! I'm not that much shorter!" Naruto objected quickly, scowling. "S'not like I can eat ramen here, anyways," Naruto continued, a little dejectedly as he poked at the food in his plate. Nope, definitely not ramen.

"I didn't know what they were, of course they didn't taste bad!" Naruto sighed, taking a drink from his glass. He should have expected for Jiraiya to have tricked him into eating things he didn't normally, but he'd whined enough back then whenever the man had refused to let him have his ramen.
