His is my first yaoi fanfic, so please take it a little easy on me, if I made some mistakes. Please let me know what you think about this, or if you have any comments or suggestions. There isn't really anything yaoi happening in this first chapter, but more will happen later. Please don't read if you don't want to read any on boy later on, this chapter is perfectly safe though. It is a NaruKono story.
I got the idea for the from seeing pictures of Naruto and his friends as modern teenagers. So, I figured I would write something to that effect. I have a friend who uses Konohamaru in role playing, so I've really wanted to write something like this. I really hope you enjoy the story.
Konoha High Hero
Chapter 1: A blond savior
The blond-haired boy let out a yawn as turned off his car after he pulled into parking spot in the school's parking lot. He sighed for a moment as he looked down at his messenger-style book bag that was sitting on the passenger seat.
He really didn't want to be returning to school today after having the summer off. The one comforting thought for him though was that he was now a senior, and this would be his last year of high school. He knew the day couldn't be avoided though; he couldn't ditch the first day of class.
So, without another option, he grabbed his bag and stepped out. He flung the strap across his chest as he shut the door to his black Cavalier. He pulled on the collar of his bright orange hoodie and started to walk through the lot toward the school. Even from this distance he could see the name, "Konoha High School," in big letters on the front of the school.
The first day of school was always the most boring day of the year, but always the easiest too. Every teacher just spent the period talking about what the outline of the semester would be for that class, the expectations, and all the big projects. Some would play the stupid getting-to-know-you games that teachers liked to play, but students rolled their eyes too. He would probably end up sleeping through at least one of them by the end of the day since he had been up late the night before. He had spent the last night of freedom playing video games and watching movies before coming back to tests and homework. The one good thing that came on this day was that it was a nice to catch up with friends he hadn't seen all summer.
He could actually already see a few people he knew heading into the building. He started to head across the lawn that sprawled across the front of the building. He pulled his cell phone from his pocket and checked the time. A big, digital 7:43 AM showed across its front. He had plenty of time to get to class for a change, especially since he didn't have to grab his books or such from his locker today. So, he would spend the time talking with friends until things got started.
As he cut across the lawn, he heard the sounds of someone grunting and whining, as if they were struggling. He looked around as he slipped back his phone. He wondered what was going on. He started to follow the sound around the corner of the building to a small, semi-secluded area. It was an area where some kids would often come to try to smoke or make out before they learned that it was a place teachers knew about.
As he came around, he saw the large back of a chubby man, and beneath the man was a pair of struggling, kicking legs. Naruto knew exactly who the bully was, Jirobo. The guy must have been held back at least two or three times throughout his school career because the guy was so much older and bigger than any other senior. Naruto sigh for a moment as he contemplated getting involved with this mess. He really didn't want to get involved, but he wasn't much for letting the weak get picked on. And Naruto knew that whoever it was, they were going to be a freshman. Jirobo wasn't one to waste time. School hadn't even officially started yet, and he was already picking on freshmen.
"Let 'em go Jirobo," he said almost sighing as he said it. The large man looked back over his shoulder at the blond boy. "Oh, yeah, what are you going to do about it if I don't want to Naruto?" he said.
"Look, I'm not really in the mood to fight, and I'd rather not get suspended on the first day, so just let 'em up already," he said. "Besides, I can just go and get some people to help me if you don't."
Naruto wasn't lying either. He could easily wrangle up people to help him if he needed it. He wasn't really a guy that would normally consider popular, despite being on the football team, but he was friends with the main leader of every social cliché, from jocks, to skaters, to nerds, to troublemakers. He was just friends with the right people. But, besides all that, he could take the guy himself he figured.
Jirobo finally stood up off the smaller boy and started to walk toward him. "Oh yeah," Jirobo tauntingly said. "You think you are so tough huh?" The man's massive fist was suddenly swiped at the side of the Uzumaki's head. The blonde bent his knees as he dropped down below the punch, and he instantly sprung back up and slammed his knee into the hanging belly of his opponent.
The blow took the wind out of Jirobo, and the man stumbled back as he tried to regain his air. Naruto didn't wait the opportunity though and immediately sent a hook and a jab into the bully's face before dropping his elbow on the back of the man's head as a final blow. Jirobo lay on the ground as he nursed his wounds from the sudden barrage of blows. The blonde finally looked over on the ground to see whom he had put his neck on the line to protect.
"Konohamaru?" he said in shock. The Uzumaki's blue eyes were focused on the short, little, brunette freshman that was still sitting on the ground. A bright red tint covered the freshman's face as he saw the person who had been his rescuer from his torment. He was so embarrassed that had to be someone he knew. The freshman had his back to the older boy as he tried to hide the pair of underwear that had been nearly ripped off his body. He slowly stood up and tried to tuck them back into his pants with one hand. "Uh………. Thanks for the help, boss," the brunette boy said as he fiddled with his under shorts.
The two had known each other their entire lives. They had grown up on the same block together, so it was only natural that they would have ended up playing together as kids despite their age difference. And the Uzumaki's nickname, "boss," had just been something that had stuck around from those days.
The blonde shocked face slowly turned to a smile. "It's ok, Kono," he said with a smile. "Jirobo is just an ass. And he's got plenty off it." The older boy started to walk toward the other, literally stepping on the downed bully who was in his way. "Let me help you with your stuff, and I will make sure you find your first class without anymore incidents. People like to pick on freshmen the first day, so just stick with me, and I will help you out," he said as he headed over to a dumped out book bag.
The brunette had completely forgotten that his book bag had been dumped out at the start of the bullying. The stinging pain in his ass had taken care of that. The brunette thought he got his underwear completely pushed back down into his pants and walked over to help his friend with his own things.
The Uzumaki was kneeling over the dumped out supplies and started to stuff them back into the various pockets of the bag. He looked over as the young boy knelt down beside him to help. A warm smile crossed his lips as he looked at his childhood friend. He remembered all the good times they had a kid.
The brown-haired Sarutobi looked up to see the blonde's blue orbs looking at him. He smiled as the sight of the other boy's charming smile. He had been so impressed by the blonde's fighting skills. It was just like when they were kids. He had looked up to the older boy back then to, and things hadn't changed since. The boy was just as amazing as back then as he was now, and the brunette still felt just as safe just by being by the boy. He knew if he had the Uzumaki by his side, he wouldn't have to worry.
The blonde looked around to make sure all the boy's school supplies had been picked up. He didn't see anything lying still around and handed the bag back to its owner. "There you go Kono," he said. "Come on. School is pro-" His words were cut off as he heard something behind him. He shoved the brunette boy away and rolled in the opposite way as a massive fist swung at where the back of his head had been.
Jirobo had recovered and decided to get in a cheap shot it seemed. Naruto rolled to his back and hooked his feet around the large man's legs and twisted, forcing the man's legs to bend and the man to fall forward onto his hands and knees. Naruto spun around and jumped to his feet. "Like cheap shots huh?" Naruto shouted as he slammed the top of his foot into Jirobo's chin. The boy's massive frame was sent flailing back to the ground once again.
Naruto stood there and made sure the bully was going to stay down this time before looking over at his friend. "You ok?" he asked.
The Sarutobi only nodded in response. He was too awe struck at the boy's impressive skills to speak. He had seen the blonde beat up on a man much larger than himself without even being touched. The brunette continued to sit there and stared as the older boy wiped away the dirt from his orange hoodie and baggy jeans. He quickly looked away though as the older boy looked at him, so not to appear to be staring. The boy stood up and pulled his bag back onto his shoulders. "Um… Naruto, thank you so much for helping me," the boy said softly. "I know you put your neck out for me. And I really appreciate it."
Naruto only smiled and walked over to his friend's side. "Come on, before you're late," he said. He noticed the boy's underwear still sticking out of his pants in the back and reached back and tucked it in for him. "There you go."
Konohamaru's face turned bright red as he felt to boy's hand near his butt. The fact that the other boy had seen his underwear was bad enough, but to have him touch him like that only embarrassed him more. He took a few deep breaths as he tried to get control of himself. "Thanks," he forced himself to say.
Naruto smiled and patted the boy's back. "It's ok," he said. He giggled a moment as he looked over the young boy's nice and dressy clothes that he had on for the first day of school. He started to walk with the boy once again toward the entrance. "Just do me one favor ok? So I don't have to save you from bullies again," he continued. "Just don't let you mom pick out your clothes for school anymore."
