Naruto is a ramen chef fanfiction: How would Naruto's ninja skills influence his cooking as a ramen chef?

One possible reason could be that he's had a bad experience with the taste. Maybe the ramen was made wrong one day and it left a really bad impression on him.

One reason could be that it's overused. If there were too many fanfictions focusing on Naruto and ramen, the community might want to encourage different storylines.

Perhaps Naruto becomes a ramen chef to bring joy to the people of Konoha. He could start by working in Ichiraku Ramen and then decides to open his own shop. His friends support him, and he invents ramen that gives people different kinds of chakra boosts, which attracts all kinds of ninjas from different villages.

It could be a fanfiction that focuses on a character in Naruto experiencing withdrawal symptoms related to ramen. Maybe Naruto himself is deprived of his beloved ramen for some reason and the story explores how he copes.

Well, Naruto loves ramen because it's warm and filling. In his tough life as an orphan, ramen was a luxury and a source of comfort. The rich broth and the chewy noodles made it a treat for him. It also became a place where he could interact with the friendly owner, Teuchi, and his daughter Ayame. In fanfiction, this love might be emphasized more, like Naruto dreaming about new ramen flavors or having special ramen - related adventures.

A plot could be that Naruto has to compete against a visiting ninja from another village who claims to be the best ramen eater. Naruto is initially intimidated but then realizes it's not just about eating fast but also enjoying the ramen. He starts to slow down and savor each bite, which actually helps him eat more in the long run. In the end, he wins and also makes a new friend from the other village.

In some fanfictions, Naruto's love for ramen is shown as an obsession. He might be constantly thinking about it, even during important missions. For example, he could be daydreaming about the next time he'll get to have a bowl of ramen while in the middle of a fight. In others, it's a more sentimental love, where the ramen shop is like a second home to him, and he shares his joys and sorrows with the people there over a bowl of ramen.

One interesting Naruto ramen fanfiction could be about Naruto opening a ramen chain across the ninja world. He uses his popularity and his love for ramen to bring people together over bowls of delicious ramen.

In the Hidden Leaf Village, a ramen eating contest was announced. Naruto was the first to sign up. As the contest began, Naruto grabbed a huge bowl of his favorite miso ramen. He slurped it down with great gusto, his cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk. His friends cheered him on. Sasuke watched with a smirk, secretly impressed by Naruto's appetite. In the end, Naruto won by a landslide, his stomach full but his spirit even fuller.

Obviously, Naruto is often a main character since he loves ramen so much. He's usually at Ichiraku's, chatting with Teuchi, the ramen chef.
