Due to an unfortunate para-dimensional cross-rip, young Naruto Uzumaki ends up in posession of a manga featuring a vaguely insectile-masked hero of Justice! Unfortunately, young!Naruto's reading skills aren't quite up to par, leading him to mis-read the title as "Ramen Rider." Which of course, to Naruto, makes perfect sense.
Madness ensues. Akatsuki never does figure out who That Masked Hero is, thanks to the Clark Kent effect. Sasuke has a bad case of hero worship/envy. Only two people can see through Ramen Rider's brilliant disguise (a mask worn along in place of his hite-ite, but still with the Orange Jumpsuit), but Hinata will never say anything, and no one believes Sakura (and quite frankly thinks she's a bit 'round the bend) any more than if she claimed Ramen Rider was really a giant chicken.
