As Naruto rushed to his work space, he bumped into a familiar figure but kept his ramen unharmed.
"Woah, Naruto, I didn't see you.."
"G-gomen nasai, Shisui-san"
"Don't worry about it... where are you coming from?"
"Sasuke's.."

Shisui's swirling dark eyes trailed away from the Uzumaki as he stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"What?", Naruto asked, with a blink.

"You know how people don't trust Uchiha's? Well, one of the main Uchiha we don't trust is Sasuke. I'm not saying I don't like him.. I mean he was my best friend's brother, but just take caution", he says, with a worrisome look. Naruto groaned.
"UH! What is with you guys going against him? He didn't do anything!", the blonde retorted. "He's been going through a lot. He hasn't told me, but I can tell ever since he lost his brother, Sasuke hasn't been the same"

Shisui sighs. "I know that. There are just so many rumors of what he's been doing"

The whiskered male clicked his tongue. "Whatever. Thanks but no thanks, Shisui-san", he says walking home.

- Timeskip -

Naruto made it home unnoticed, and sat at the counter, eating his ramen Sasuke made. He nearly gulped it down less then 10 seconds. Menma walks around the corner, staring at his brother in confusion and curiosity.

"Wait... considering your too lazy to fix your own ramen... WHO MADE THAT?", he demanded. The blonde laughs, putting his bowl in the sink.

"And considering your too lazy to put on a shirt, Memna"

"I'm wearing one now, aren't I?"

"Yeah but you should see yourself when your home alone with me.. you lazy butthole"

"Baka hentai"

"I AM NOT A PERV! That's Jiraya-sensei"

Menma nods then chuckles. "Well are you gonna tell me or not? Oh.. nevermind. I know exactly who made it", he says with a slight growl. Naruto groaned again.

"What do you people have against Sasuke, huh?"

"Rumors and some of them are true"

"Like...?"

"Well.. Sasuke put a poison in the Representative, Danzo's, drink and he hasn't woken up since. He's still asleep in his comatose at the Konoha Hospital", Menma explained, his eyes narrowed. Naruto sweatdropped.

"Believe it or not Menma, even I don't like Danzo. So I could care less"

"Look, little bro, you can do whatever you want with that Uchiha. Just be careful... and if he hurts you... let me know. Well I have to go back to my work schedule and shiz, see ya", he says teleporting away.

Naruto looked down with a angry expression. 'I don't care about anything they say'
