[ There’s a lot of important posts going up on the network lately. So much so that Naruto has been kind of apprehensive about posting this. He can't really articulate as well as everyone else and while he wishes he could say something useful about everything that's happening, he's kind of overwhelmed by it all and just taking it as it comes. His issue is determinedly unimportant, but desperation has got the better of him. So here he is. Hi, he's new. Be nice. ]
So uh, I was wonderin' if one of you could help me with something…
[ His usually whiskered but now strangely bare cheeks (thanks cloaking device) are slightly pink as he scrunches up his face. He looks… kind of embarrassed to be asking something like this so openly, because it’s like admitting inferiority, but this kind of stuff just isn’t his forte. ]
I dunno what to tell people when they ask what I do, or where I come from, or anythin' like that.
[ Coming up with an entire backstory? All by himself? Surely you jest. The most he’s managed is dressing his clones differently and calling them his brothers, any more creative than that and you’re asking a little too much of him. He’s entirely new to this community and finding a place in it is hard enough without also having to find a place in this random world too. ]
An old lady asked me why I wasn't in school, an' when I told her I stopped goin' to school when I was thirteen she didn't take it well, so I dunno what I'm supposed to say, y'know. In my world I'm a shinobi, is there anythin' like that here?

Ramen?
[ ... ]
I guess goin' to school won't be so bad. It's not like I have to go to classes or anythin'. I can just walk around an' talk to people, eh?
no subject
no subject
I could make myself look like someone who's supposed to be there, ya think?
no subject
[Sure, he could change back into himself for that, but then there might be questions about his classes and such from other students, and then he'd be back to being screwed.]
no subject
What if.. I stayed a student.. but if someone caught me wanderin' about I just said I needed to go to the bathroom....
no subject
[He sighs. This is so much complication for something relatively straightforward--but he supposes that's better for their cover in the long run. Naruto can't read English any more than he can, and Sai has been relying almost entirely on taking notes while the teacher speaks verbally, and in having someone read his homework aloud for him so it would translate and then dictating his answers so they could transpose them back to English.
It'd be very difficult for Naruto to maintain their cover in such an environment, he thinks.]
no subject
Yeah! That way I don't need to go into any classes, I can just be there for breaks an' stuff.
[ His attendance would be awful, but what's the harm in that. His attendance in school back home was pretty abysmal but he managed to graduate anyway. ]
no subject
Be certain not to use your clones there, Naruto. One of you might be dismissed as a lapse in memory, but they will certainly remember if there were ten identical individuals attending their school at the same time.
no subject
[ He's got his arms folded and he's looking very proud, which are both signs of yet another shitty idea. Get ready to babysit some more. ]
I'm only usin' a few, an' dressing 'em differently so that we look like twin brothers!
[ ... :D? ]
no subject
[He shakes his head.]
Avoid the rasengan, as well, and any other ninjutsu that is likely to draw attention.
no subject
School is such a pain, y'know! [ He whines, like the actual baby he is. ] It ain't even worth it if I can-
[ He's suddenly struck with an idea. ]
Hey! I don't have to go to school if you're there! You can get the ramen for me!
no subject
It...will be cold by the time it reaches you, you realize.
[what's a microwave]
no subject
[ If that falls through he'll have to resort to his next best option. Naruto understands that to make the ramen hot he needs to apply something hot to it.. like fire... and there's only one guy he knows with Fire Powers. Even though Sasuke will probably refuse, Naruto will still try, so if Sai could stop being a Negative Nelly then things should go much smoother. ]
no subject
but at least this is an acceptable option to sai, and finally he relents.]
...Alright. Lunchtime is slated at approximately noon.
no subject
[ He's beyond happy; both because he's getting his way and he's getting ramen. And maybe because he's seeing a friend at some point soon, which is always a good thing. ]
I'll be there!!
