"I waffed 'em was week," Naruto spoke through a mouthful of Ramen, his lips pulling up into a grin as he looked at the two of them. He swallowed and nodded to both of them, seemingly unphased by the nasty expressions and questions he was receiving.

"It's hard to keep everythin' clean when the toads' definition of clean involves frog slime dattebayo! I'm headin' home to get clothes and a bath after this bowl! I've gotten a whole lot stronger though, and my sage training's done with the toads! I've still gotta practice on my own to fully master it but they said I've done so well that I don't need their help anymore."

Excuse him for slurping up more of his ramen, it just tasted so good~!
