Chapter X:
Random Interviewer: Naruto, as the new Hokage, what is the first thing you're going to do towards achieving true peace!
Naruto: Heh... Well you see, true peace isn't that easy to grasp, it's a very challenging goal. People better than I have tried and failed *flashback to mentors*
Naruto: That's why... *everybody listens in closely*
Naruto: I NEED TO THINK IT OVER SOME ICHIRAKU RAMEN!
*the interviewers fall down and Kakashi facepalms*
-Meanwhile at the Ramen shop, Teuchi and Ayame look at the ceremony from afar-
Ayame: He's truly grown into something, that Naruto!
Teuchi: Yes... because of him, I can rest in peace knowing I made the right decision.
Ayame: ...You've gone through so much in your life, always blaming yourself and dubbing their decision a failure. But look at it now! The world is closer to true peace than ever before! *a tear falls from Teuchi's closed eyes, opening them to show the Rinnegan*
Teuchi: I think it's about time for me to go. It looks like I'm no longer needed as a guide for humanity. Give my regards to Naruto, would you?
Ayame: Yes... Hagoromo. *Hagoromo fades into the dark background of the store, and Naruto reaches the shop*
Naruto: Yo guys! I need about ten bowls of ramen to satisfy me this time! Ehh!? Where's your dad, Ayame?
Ayame: Oh he's on a little vacation, but I'll be able to carry out orders, no problem! *Ayame smiles*
Naruto: Heh, alright then... *Naruto sulks a bit*
Naruto: Y'know... your father was one of the only people that cared for me growing up, along with Iruka-sensei. I really need to pay him back some time. He's a great guy. *Ayame smiles*
Ayame: You already mean the world to him, Naruto. Your happiness made it all the worthwhile to him. *Naruto grins and rubs his back in embarrassment*
Ayame: ORDER UP!!! *Ten bowls of ramen suddenly appear before him on the counter*
Naruto: EEEEEEHHHHHH (so fast!)!!!?
