[News traveled through the building that morning faster than than bright green elevator. Naruto's room was empty. Lee, passionate with tears, was quick to volunteer to report this, not exactingly leaving room for comrades to chime in. Some of them could be near him in the hallway as he shouts into the journal - and of other other CH1 residents could be attracted by his loudness.]

Some of you may be aware of the existence of Uzumaki Naruto, a fellow ninja of Konoha. He is one of the bravest people I know, a true hero and someone who I one day wish to engage in an all-out fight. But he... Naruto-kun has gone back home. The battle awaiting him there is one of the most arduous endeavors imaginable, so... please wish him your best.

I shall shortly depart to the Seventh Heaven and eat as much ramen as I can in honor of my dear, departed comrade. May the strength of this food reach him somehow and empower him with even more youthly guts!

[Action]

[So there he goes off to start his day gorging on ramen at Seventh Heaven, taking a large table with an opening for many friends. And he spends the rest of the day afterwards working it off. About two hours in the Battle Dome and various training exercises throughout the evening and night as he also patrols around in search of danger. Feel free to run into him at any of these points.]

Naruto-kun is well-known for his overwhelming love of ramen, Ikki-kun. And many of our shining moments as youths connected by friendship were shared over bowls of such noodles. So in that sense, my manner of tribute feels appropriate to myself.

Even so, just one bowl of ramen would suffice. Eating all the ramen you can eat doesn't sound healthy even for someone who trains often.

If you knew Naruto-kun, you would know just one bowl would be an insult. I am glad you are concerned for my health, but you would be surprised at how many ninjas have been able to function well with unusual diets. Naruto-kun himself gorged himself on ramen regularly and was still able to take on a variety of formidable foes. And just one over-indulgence for myself will only require a temporary adjustment to my training regimen.

Just because he would eat more than one bowl doesn't mean you have to do it to honor his memory. At least not in one go. If you want to honor someone's memory do it more than once, everyday even if it's just a small and unimportant thing for those who don't know. I doubt your friend would really appreciate you getting sick or worse from trying to honor his memory.

[And he isn't concerned for your health, he's just... Curious and being annoying, nothing to do with being concerned. It's so unrelated that he doesn't even bother to deny it, that's all. ~~tsun tsun~~]

I see. I appreciate your concern, Ikki-san. It is too late for me to back out of this now, but I shall also think of smaller actions I can perform to remember him. And I will not drive myself to such excess.

I don't remember saying I was concerned, it's not my problem what you do with your health or whatever.

[Let's ignore the fact that if he really didn't give a damn he wouldn't even be answering here.]

Hn, I figured you wouldn't back down on what you decided, you don't strike down like that type of guy. You better hold your word about not getting sick from this as well, if you do try to not whine about it on the journals, I don't want to hear it.

[You have been warned, Lee, you can't complain or whine about getting sick when people have warned you against it.]
