"Kakashi-Sensei, I have a great idea," Naruto said one day after training.

"I'm all ears," Kakashi replied calmly.

"Well, with something as delicious as ramen, isn't it a good idea to branch-out?"

"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked, afraid of where Naruto was going with this.

"I mean, if you have a good product, you should make other products using that first good product. For example, some guy invented chocolate and then they came out with chocolate ice cream, right?"

"Yes…" Kakashi replied slowly. Now he was really scared of where this conversation was going.

"Well, then whose to say that we can't have ramen-flavored ice cream or ramen-flavored chewing gum? We could even develop an icon! Yeah! His name would be 'Ramen Boy' but he wouldn't be a boy, he would be a raccoon!"

"Why a raccoon?"

"Well, raccoons have an air of mystery. Anyway, Ramen Boy would be a Super-Hero-Raccoon-Ninja who fights crime in the name of all that is ramen! We could make plushies and sell T-shirts and hats. It would be great advertising for our many ramen-based products!"

"…Therapy is not such a bad idea, Naruto. I'll see to it that you find a shrink who specializes in insanity." Naruto stared at his Sensei as he walked away, leaving Naruto to ponder why Kakashi's last comment sounded so serious.
