Be Careful What You Wish For

A short little tidbit of a thing for Naruto's birthday because I didn't want to miss my chance to post on the day.

And I needed a bit of a small break with some non-important nonsensical writing.

“If you blow out the candles in one breath,” Nii-san said, his green eyes brightening with each word. “Then your wish comes true.”

“Just like that?” Naruto asked. 

“That's what they say,” Nii-san said without hesitation as he lit the final candle. The bright neon candles on top of the large orange cake looked even better than Naruto had anticipated. “So think of something good before you blow them out.”

Taking the advise to heart, Naruto closed his eyes and searched for a good wish. He couldn't waste a free wish on something that be could or would accomplish eventually. That ruled out wishing for the Hokage position or Sasuke coming back or a date with Sakura or, actually that ruled out everything.
Wait, Naruto opened his eyes, there was one thing he could wish for. 
 
The flames flickered enticingly as though urging him to get on with it.
