"It'd be on-brand."

"And, from a shinobi reference point, exceptionally weird."

"So a double win."

"I suppose so!"

"Not sure the Academy training will cover being terrifyingly nice, though."

"We'll have to figure it out ourselves."

"Guess so."

"Possibly will need a little bit of help. Certainly practice."

"I think Naruto might be good at it too."

"Then he can be the Friendship Chair."

"We'll have to recruit him first."

"Possibly a barrier."

"Won't know until we try."

"We should have time to find him after lunch!"

Speaking of which, food.

It is very good food.

Sadly, it is soon enough all consumed.

"Do you wanna look for Naruto now?"

"Sure."

Naruto's findable, sulking on a playground alone. He glances up when they walk up, then glances away.

"Hello," she says. "I'm Elieyha. This is Hisame and Sasuke."

"Why are you talking to me?"

"That's how people make friends."

"Why would you wanna be friends with me? No one else does."
