Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Uchiha?" He asked, giving a breif snort. "Hai, I'm a ninja like him. We were rivals once, you know? Now we're more like Enemies." He laughed breifly. "He hates me, what can I say, I hate him too in a way. Sakura always seemed to like him anyway... Everyone likes him." He grumbled, maybe a tad enviously. "But who needs a baka like him anyway? Some genius from some stupid clan."

Naruto perked up at the compliment. "You think i'm smarter?" He beamed at this. "Sweet!" He clenched his fist in a victory like pose. "Believe it.. That's no problem, Tsunami-kun, It was worth getting you talk again, you know." Just to hear him say that in his own voice was reward enough. He shook his head. "But anyway, Uchicha, it's Sasuke's last name. I call him that sometimes, Sasuke-kun is too friendly for me to call him that. But you don't worry about that. You just keep practicing talking and you'll be much happier when you can speak fully."

"Tsu-chan? I was probably going to call you that anyway, but I wasn't sure if you'd like that." he laughed. "But alright, Tsu-chan shall be what I call you from now on. So... You liked Uchiha huh? I wouldn't be too wound up over him, a lot of people liked him, they'd probably be just as hurt as you..." He leant back on the couch with a sigh.

"Friends? Me? Hmm..." He thought about this. "I have quite a few back in Konoha, and some of the other Ninja villages... But in this country... I guess I have Ryland and his little spirit, Kai is alright and Kiba's in this country also. So is Kakashi sensei! But other than that, not many." He grinned sheepishly. "What about you?"

Counts them in his own head, before tilting his head and checking again. "Wait.. wouldn't that be four..?" He asked, holding up four fingers to excentuate. Me, Your mom's boyfriend, Alex and his cat.." He wondered if that was just a simple mistake or if the boy couldn't count either.

"Ohhh I see." He said, hitting his head lightly with his palm. He looked at his pot of Ramen and picked it up. "Do you like Ramen, Tsu-chan?" He asked casually, tilting his head.

He grinned widely, passing the bowl over to him. "It's the greatest! Try it, You'll see. I absolutely love ramen. The shop back in Konoha had the best though. God I miss that shop."

Naruto grinned some more, giving him a thumbs up. "You keep that bowl, I'll just make myself some more." He said, getting up and returning to the kitchen.
