just wanted to post something about these special guys 
if we look back at the persons who acknowledged naruto, we can count iruka, his classmates and other acquaintances that came later throughout the manga/anime... to these guys he needed to somewhat show what he was worth before they acknowledged him U_U
but before all these persons came along, there were these special guys who had already acknowledged naruto for what he was, without any conditions or anything, like his family would have done... i'm referring to the Ichiraku Ramen's guys, i believe this thread's title is well deserved for them xd
