CHAPTER 1: Entrance Exam and New Friends
I don't own Naruto or Eyeshield21 they belong to their respective creators.
It was a sunny Monday in Deimon, the birds were chirping the kids were running around happy while their parents looked over them.
"Man I can't believe they are forcing me to take the entrance exam to Deimon, I rather go to another high school" The speaker was a blond boy, about 14 years old, spiky hair framing a lean face, a pair of cerulean color eyes and three whisker like marks on each cheek.
This was Naruto Uzumaki, with great aspirations of becoming the best running back both in Japan and in the NFL.
He was walking to the train station to make it to the entrance exam to Deimon High School, and yet he wasn't as excited as others, his parents told him to sign up on Deimon and one other school of his choosing but he had no clue which other school he wanted to get in.
His father was a good but strange man, and by strange he meant being a pervert. Or as he like to be called a 'Super Pervert'.
His mom was more down to earth and was both caring and strict never to demanding of him but yet always expecting great things of him. She was a retired medic that was supposed to be the best medic in the Kanto region.
His father was a best-seller author but both his mom, and big sister were ashamed that the best seller was… smut, pure and simple smut.
He smiled at the thought of both Jiraiya and Tsunade arguing over him peeping on her on the bath for his smut and him defending said smut, he would always stare with his older sister Shizune who was starting Med school soon where their mom taught, he knew without a doubt that she would be a great medic some day
While he was thinking this he saw he was finally on the train, but his eyes widened when he saw a pair of thugs trying to grope a couple of girls no older than him, he hated two things in the world bullies and rapist. He walked up to them and while they weren't paying attention he took of their belts holding their pants, he smirked when they stopped groping the girls. When they turned around he left his fist fly to both of their heads.
After a few minutes of both girls and Naruto beating up the guys he smiled a bit and turned around to leave, he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder he turned to see a blond teen, two years older than him with a goatee and smiling.
"Ah Ha Ha, that was good kid, the way you defended this ladies from those guys. Let's go" he said and started stirring Naruto back to the two girls he had helped earlier.
"Thanks for the help back there" the brown haired girl said while bowing a little "My name is Wakana Koharu and this is my friend Yamanaka Ino" she said pointing to the blond haired girl that was smiling to her fellow blonds that had helped her and her best friend"
Naruto just smiled at them the girl Koharu reminded him of his nee-chan Shizune.
"It was nothing, my mom and sister taught me to always help a girl if she was in need, same with my dad but he is a pervert." Naruto said with a smile, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto by the way."
"Ah Ha Ha, I'm Taki Natsuhiko a pleasure to meet you lovely ladies" Natsuhiko said while striking a weird pose of stretching his leg in a 180° making Naruto and the girls stare at his flexibility.
"So anybody else is going to Deimon for the entrance exam or am I the only one?" Naruto said changing the subject.
Both girls shook their head no making Naruto deflate a bit making him turn to the taller blond who was nodding his head in affirmative.
"We both go to Ojo and come from one of their affiliated schools so we already took the exam." Ino said with a small smile she was liking both blonds attitude.
"Well my mom told me I could also take an entrance exam to another High School that had American Football but I thought that the Ojo White Knights had already scouted and talked to the guys that could make it." Naruto said with a frown on his face. "I hated that my school never had a permanent football team so I never got scouted."
"Really? I'm in the same boat!" Natsuhiko said while staring at the younger blond he thought that his chances in Ojo had passed.
Koharu just smiled a bit and decided to break the blonds of their funk. "Well it is true that the scouting is over but… they hold try-outs for freshmen that passed the entrance exam that came from other schools" she said with a smile and giggled along her best friend when the blond males stared at her with star in their eyes.
"Yes My dream to go to the NFL is still on the road!" both Natsuhiko and Naruto yelled while Natsu spinned on his leg and Naruto fist-pumped, when they realized what the other blond said they turned to each other with shock.
"You want to go to the NFL to?!" they asked in unison.
"What position?" Naruto asked.
"Running back/ all the positions" they answered at the same time making Ino and Koharu to giggle more at their antics.
"Well what are we waiting for Naruto lets go to Ojo's entrance exam and then to Deimon's second entrance exam." Natsuhiko said while striking his pose making Naruto and the girls smile at his antics and nodding and led them to Ojo High School.
The next few hours were a blur for Naruto after he explained to his new (and probably only) friend how he could ace the exam if he changed the things he didn't understood for things he was good at, he only hoped both got into Ojo he wanted a chance to play for a good team and a chance to go pro.
He had gone home to tell his family of his decision and when he saw their smiles he knew they would support him no matter what.
A week had passed since he made both entrance exams and met Natsuhiko and his family, he was stunned by Natsuhiko's younger sister, she seemed nice enough but seemed to wanting to be anywhere else than meeting one of her big brothers friends that was crazy about American Football too. Natsuhiko thought it to be a good idea that both families met and then tried to pawn of his younger sister to his new best friend. By the end of the night both Naruto and Suzuna ended up with blushes and a marriage contract that both parents agreed.
Naruto woke up to his favorite smell, his nee-chan making breakfast, and from the smell of things it was pancakes.
He got off his bed and stretched, last week neither of his new found friends were able to see it but Naruto had a defined physic, well toned muscles, he also had a tattoo covering his right arm, his dad had told him that it was a tradition from his side of the family, and from what his mom explained it was not only a family tradition but a whole cultural tradition.
When he got it he was afraid that his mom would be mad at him and his dad but she simply smiled and told him that it was part of his family, she also told him that Jiraiya had one but smaller and since he always wore a long-sleeved shirt Naruto had never seen it.
That night was one of the few times Naruto hugged his parents trying to suffocate them a bit, trying to show his love for them.
His tattoo went from his right wrist to his pectoral and a bit into his back.
He walked downstairs to a sight he had come to see every morning, both Jiraiya and Tsunade with a mug of coffee, one going over a little notebook and giggling a bit while the other went over the lecture she would give today, while her big sister would put the food on the table and sat to go over her notes for class.
"Morning Naru-chan, how did you sleep?" Tsunade said with a smile to her son while sipping her coffee and grading paper test. She cursed when she saw some of the answers her students would put on the open answers section.
"Morning Kaa-chan, Tou-san, Nee-chan, I slept good bit nervous for the results, me and Natsu plan on checking first Deimon's results and then Ojo." Naruto answered after sipping on his orange juice. They spend the rest of breakfast in comfortable silence, with the random perverted giggle from Jiraiya or the grumble of stupid students from Tsunade.
After Naruto left his house and set out to the train station where he would meet with Natsu he had his headphones on and his favorite rap artist blaring out of them.
He went in the station and was greeted with the sight of Natsu talking and twirling around his younger sister who had an annoyed look on her face at her brothers' antic.
"Chill Natsu I am here just in time to take the train haha stop messing with Suzuna-chan or she will beat you up… again" Naruto said while raising his arm in greetings. He had his eyes closed so he never saw Suzuna's blush at the way the blond called her. She greeted him with a small wave of her hand and started moving towards the train, until she heard her brother 'see she already like's you, you are doing great with her, in no time you will be dating her and making her happy' making her stumble a bit and turning to glare at her oblivious brother.
They arrived at Deimon's high to see 5 boards for those that passed, making both Naruto and Natsuhiko to separate to look, Naruto was looking on the first few boards and found his name, and called his friends over. "Yo Natsu Suzuna I found my name did you find yours?" he asked.
Natsu came twirling on his pose and smiling "Ah Ha Ha, I'm on the waiting list haha" he said with a smile on his face, making both his sister and best friend chuckle a bit.
"What about you Naruto?" Suzuna asked with a small smile, which turned into a blush when Naruto turned to smile at her.
"I got in but I want to see if they accepted me on Ojo first" Naruto said while pulling his phone out to call his parents, when he heard a cackle and saw a phone dangling in front of him.
"Here use my phone to call your parents and tell them the good news" a blond haired boy with a devilish grin said while a giant of a teen stood smiling pleasantly to him.
"Umm it's cool I already send a text to my nee-chan. Well lets go Suzuna-chan, I bet your brother already wants to run to Ojo" Naruto said while ignoring the looks he got from the blond that offered him the phone.
Hiruma left the blond walk away and turn to see a small kid looking and shouting that he got in, he smirked and went to put his plan in motion, forgetting all about the blond he saw earlier.
Naruto was talking with Suzuna about herself trying to get to know her better, he had to admit that she was one of a kind and he liked her but he promised himself that he wouldn't pressure her into anything if she didn't want to do so. They were getting out of the train with Natsuhiko who was nervous hoping that he got into Ojo to play with a good team.
When they got to the school they saw Ino who was talking with some of her friends, she waved them over making both Naruto and Natsuhiko gasp thinking that after they met she would only wave at them and try not to talk outside of something important.
When both Natsuhiko and Naruto told this to Ino she broke out in giggles and told them to stop being silly, she told them that Wakana couldn't come because the coach for the team needed her help, leaving her to guide them to the results board to check if they got in.
"So Ojo only has one results board because of how good and picky they get with the students that try to get in?" Naruto asked while he walked with his arms behind his head.
"Yeah, Ojo is a bit picky with their students but I bet you both did great." Ino said while smiling, she turned and started talking to Suzuna making Natsuhiko smile at the way his sister seem to make friends with anybody.
Naruto and Natsu walked to the board and started looking for their names, from what both Ino and Wakana told them the results would be posted from highest entrance mark to lowest.
After a few minutes both walked back to the two waiting girls, making both turn around and stare in wonder how did they do.
When Naruto and Natsuhiko reach them, both broke out in the biggest smiles they could and saying 'We got in! We got in!' making the girls smile and congratulate them.
"Naruto-kun! Time to get up today is the start of classes you don't want to be late do you?" was heard all around the house making said blond to pop his head off his covers and look around for his alarm clock.
He got up while grumbling under his breath about not getting enough sleep last night, he started to make his way to the bathroom to make his morning rituals.
He came out putting on the school shirt that was the main uniform, he made his way down to the kitchen where they usually had breakfast every morning to see that his nee-chan had already set down his bowl of fruit.
He greeted her with a smile and sat down to start eating before his parents came down. He looked to the clock and saw that he still had an hour before he had to be at the train station to meat Natsu so they could make their way to Ojo, he turn to stare at his sister, "Nee-chan… did you woke me up an hour earlier than usual?" he asked while his eye started to twitch uncontrollably when his sister turn with a devilish smirk towards him.
"Why of course I did little brother, we all know how hard is to wake you up on the first day of school so mom asked me to wake you up an hour earlier" Shizune said and started to laugh maniacally when she finished.
Naruto stared at his sister for a minute and started to curse her and his mom for waking him up earlier, he sat there grumbling even when his dad came into the kitchen and saw the scene that happened every year the day school started for his son.
He just chuckled and sat down to eat breakfast, he loved his family.
After finishing breakfast and cursing his evil sister Naruto set off to the train station where he would meet Natsuhiko and ride all the way to Ojo, he was excited to go to a prestigious school along with his new best friend, he had very few friends because his family kept moving after he was born and even less after an incident last year where they left him for another of their classmates.
He arrived at the train station and saw Natsuhiko waiting for him near the entrance, waving at him they walked to the train that would take them to Ojo, they chatted along the way mainly about football and what school would be like, they noticed that several students were in the same uniform as them.
After some time had passed they got to their stop and left along with several students that were going to the castle-like school. They arrived to see both Ino and Wakana waiting for them at the entrance, smiling they walked over to their friends to greet them.
"So you guys ready for your first day in Ojo?" Ino asked with a smile seeing her new friends, she couldn't sleep because of the excitement of knowing the two blonds, she knew that with them things around school would be interesting.
"We are, I was a bit nervous about not waking up in time but my older sister woke me up an hour early just to let me relax… or so she claimed." Naruto said while stifling a yawn and putting his headphones around his neck and pausing the music.
"Ah Ha Ha, my beautiful little sister woke me up in time to leave for the train station to meet you Naruto-kun" Natsuhiko said while striking his usual pose making his friends laugh at his antics.
Wakana smiled and started to lead them to their homerooms, luckily for them they had been assigned the same Homeroom teacher, she told both Naruto and Natsu that try-outs would be next week after they had been given a physical exam to see how fit they were.
After a few minutes of walking and joking around they reached their assigned room and sat near each other, they knew it would be easier that way to talk when not doing an assignment.
Naruto felt his phone vibrate and took it out to see that he had received a message, he opened it up and gasped a bit gaining his friends attention.
"What's the matter Naruto-kun?" Wakana asked, after they first met in the train and introduced them to Ojo and heard that they had gotten in both with a scholarship they decided to hang out a bit before school, there she learned that not a lot of things could actually make Naruto gasp.
He looked up to them and then back at his phone before answering. "A friend just texted me… she was asking me why I wasn't in Deimon with her, she forgot that she changed me for another guy before we got out of middle school… I thought I told her that I was going to Ojo." Naruto answered in a small voice, he could still feel the pain of knowing that Sakura had changed him for Sasuke like all of his friends did. He remembered how they berated him for never hanging out with them because he rather be with other people, and said that they would rather have a true friend like Sasuke, it wasn't his fault that American Football was in his veins and he wanted to be the best.
"So… she is berating you for not being at Deimon when she clearly left you?" Ino asked, while huffing a bit, she took Naruto's phone from his hand and saw that the girl was calling, she got a smirk on her face making Wakana worry over what her blond friend planned on doing. She paled even more when Ino answered the phone and put it on speaker.
"Finally you decided to answer the phone baka, where are you I thought the hole gang promised to enter Deimon, we are all here, Shika and Choji are already here, Kiba is outside waiting for you, Hinata and Shino!" was heard from the speaker, making Natsu cringe a bit at the sound thinking it was too loud even if it was from the phone the girl could scream.
Ino chuckled and cleared her throat, "I'm sorry, but who is calling?" she said and making Wakana, Naruto and Natsuhiko chuckle.
"Wait who is that? Naruto-baka what the hell are you doing with a girl! I'm Sakura Haruno Naruto-baka's best friend" the now identified Sakura answered. "Who are YOU?" she asked.
"Oh sorry but Naruto-kun is attending Ojo High School, I'm Ino Yamanaka Naruto's second girl best friend, and Wakana Koharu is his female best friend, and she is here along with Natsuhiko his best friend and future White Knight player" Ino said and put the phone in the desk "say hi to Sakura-san Wakana-chan and Natsu-kun" making the four Ojo students to laugh and say hi mockingly.
"Wha… why Naruto I thought the whole gang would go to Deimon, are you still obsessed with that stupid dream of playing in the NFL? Look it doesn't matter that anyways you broke our promise!" Sakura said and they could hear gasps and mutterings from what they could guess be Naruto's former friends. Natsuhiko turned to see the disinterested gaze Naruto had, he decided to put his opinion in.
"Well that promise you are talking about became null and void when you decided to change him for that Sasuke guy." He said and Wakana also decided to put her cent in.
"And that stupid dream as you call it will become a reality when the scouts for American teams come to scout us in a few years." She said making Ino giggle and Natsuhiko and Naruto to stare with their jaws on the floor.
"American Scouts will come to see us play?!" both Natsuhiko and Naruto yelled at the same time, just like they did the first time they met making both girls giggle even more.
"It is true Sakura, I go to Ojo High School, besides why would I want to be with people that turn their back on someone because he was chasing his dream." Naruto said with a somber tone.
"Good-Bye Sakura-san we will see you when Ojo and Deimon face each other on Football soon." Ino said with a smirk and hung up on the Deimon students. She smiled when she saw the grateful look on Naruto's face.
They sat down when they saw the door to their classroom open and a young man entered, he had a unlit cigarette on his lips, he had black spiked up hair to one side, and a beard to complete the look, he was wearing a sports shirt that they recognized as the ones the football coaches wore, with a pair of Bracelets on both his wrists, he left his briefcase on his desk and walked to the center of the blackboard and stared at his students.
"Well… you are a lively bunch aren't ya?" he asked with a chuckle making the classroom laugh a bit, he stopped laughing and decided to address his new students. "We will start introducing ourselves, you know name, likes, dislikes dreams for the future ok?" he asked and when the class nodded he pointed to the first student to begin.
After several students introduced themselves and all his friends had done so it was finally Naruto's turn, he got up from his desk, "My Name is Uzumaki Naruto, my likes include rap music, country music, and rock music, and American Football, my dislikes include those that turn their backs on their friends and those that break their promises, my dream is to play in the NFL and become the best Running Back since Barry Sanders." He finished with a smile when he heard Natsuhiko cheer and saying that they would go on to make their NFL dreams come true.
After he introduced himself and the rest of the class had done so their teacher decided to introduce himself. "Well now that I know your names I will tell you mine, I'm Sarutobi Asuma, my likes are smoking, playing American Football, coaching and teaching, my dislikes include those that try to force their will onto others, not being allowed to smoke, my dreams for the future is to see you all reach your maximum potential and to have a family someday." He finished with a smile making the students smile at his attitude.
"Now we will head out to the gym to begin your physical examination, this will happen every year and it's to see how physically fit you are and if you are eligible for the sport you want to try out, let's go before the lockers get full from the other classes." He said while chuckling and lead them to the gym.
After they had changed into their sports uniform they went around the gym all with their jaws on the floor at how well it was kept and how big it was. Asuma seeing this explained that this was the public gym where anyone was welcomed to exercise whenever they wanted, but told them that the biggest one was the American Football club gym, where only those on the football team were allowed to enter.
"60 kilos" Asuma said while taking note of how much Naruto could bench press same with Natsuhiko who could bench press 90 kilos, they moved on to the other exercises, making both Natsuhiko and Naruto to show-off a bit both their strength and speed.
Asuma could see that Naruto was not bringing his full speed out, from the way his body was he knew that Naruto could go even faster even when his speed test he made it in 5.0 seconds same as Natsuhiko. The test continued with a endurance test where Asuma saw the potential in both boys for the Football team, he was sure that the Shogun would like them, and it might be time to cash in his favor to be able to integrate the offensive system he had been working on with Takami since last year where the Old-School QB was looking for a way to stop his only weakness, his running game, Asuma was sure that with Naruto as his running back and Natsu either as a Wide Receiver or a Tight End they would be able to compensate.
"Well today was interesting wasn't it?" Ino said while she and her friends were walking towards the cafeteria, she turned to see her new friends Naruto and Natsuhiko, they had showed- off in the physical earlier that day both by proving their strength and speed.
"Ah Ha Ha! I gave it my all and I know I passed with 100% of success!" Natsuhiko said while spinning in one leg.
"It was great, those speed and endurance test were a bit though but it was worthy." Naruto said while they made their way to the lunch line where they asked for some meat sandwiches to regain their energy and carbs they spend during the test.
After receiving their meals they sat down with Wakana who was waiting for them with Ino and another girl that they saw back in the gym.
She had long midnight blue hair, pale eyes, and she was wearing the girls uniform along with a bulky jacket that was hanging from the back of her chair.
"Guys, this is Hinata our best friend, she is daughter of the owner of Hyuga corp. And she is a cheerleader for the Oujou White Knights… well she will be along with Ino after the try-out next week" Ino said while the girl waved a bit shyly making both Natsu and Naruto smile a bit and wave while they started to eat.
"Hinata these two are our friends Naruto and Natsuhiko they will try-out for the White Knights football team." Wakana introduce the boys who were too busy eating that they never noticed how some girls stared at Naruto with dreamy eyes.
"A pleasure meeting you Natsuhiko-san, Naruto-san, hope to see you on the field next week at the try-outs." Hinata said with a small bow and wishing them luck.
They chatted away the lunch till it was time to go back to classes. They waved goodbye to Hinata and made their way to the their Homeroom where their sensei would tell them their schedule.
