Kakashi only stood there, shellshocked, as flames danced around his favourite perverted book.
That book had been mint condition, was personally signed by Jiraiya, and was even special print that was made with specially light paper, meant for ninja use. The pages were so light, that ninjas like Kakashi could tell when enemies were sneaking up behind them from the slight breeze that moved the edges of the paper. Meanwhile enemies would be misled to think your guard was down and you were too enthralled in your smut.
Genius.
So not only did it have perverted goodness- I mean, literature, but on the side, it was a great ninja tool that no one ever suspected.
And now that perverted literature of goodness was gone.
Kakashi let out a heart-wrenching cry. "NOOOOOOOOOO!"
All around him, fans of the Icha Icha series silently mourned the loss of the perverted smut- I mean, great literature.
This... This was terrible! It was the worst thing to happen since the Uchiha massacre!
A single laugh floated through the air.
Two identical laughs.
Three. Five. Twelve. Twenty. A hundred and eleven. One thousand eighty two identical laughs.
Villagers and Ninja alike started backing away slightly from the massive crowd of Naruto's, all laughing evilly. One laugh by itself would have been unsettling, but thousands of the exact same laughter, overlapping each other and melting into each other...
Highly disturbing.
Combined with the crazily insane look on his face... Or faces...
That was beyond highly disturbing.
Tsunade started twitching. She was in a very hard situation. Naruto looked like he could do something crazy right now, which could easily be solved by feeding him ramen, but at the same time, the elders (and Danzo?) were putting unbelievable pressure on the Ramen Ban.
In other words, she was stuck.
The best thing she could try to do was to detain Naruto, but as a medic-nin, she had no doubt in her mind that if Naruto were isolated, his state of mind would only get worse.
Forget being stuck. She was practically chained above a lava pit.
The original Naruto managed to get his other clones quiet before announcing,
"GIVE ME RAMEN, OTHERWISE YOUR PRECIOUS THINGS WILL SLOWLY START DISAPPEARING! THIS IS A HOSTAGE EXCHANGE, OKAY?! WAHAHAHA!"
Naruto held the mesh bag, holding a kunai against it as if it were a hostage. People started murmuring amongst themselves, all worried that Naruto had something of theirs.
"Is he insane-!"
"Hostage-?"
"Ramen ban-"
"What about-"
"You don't think that-"
"We should just give the boy ramen"
"You don't seriously-"
"What if he has my-?!"
Tsunade cracked her knuckles. She was going to get out of this the only way she knew how.
"I repeat Naruto, stand down. Your ramen ban cannot be reversed."
"Naruto only seemed to tighten his grip on the mesh bag.
