Betrayed

Naruto checked his appearance in the mirror. His school uniform was in disarray and his blonde hair needed to be combed. "I look great today!" He said aloud.

Naruto slowly made his way to school. Walking in to the main building he made his way to his class. He looked at the other halls. This was one of his daily rituals. As he saw another hallway leading to another section pass by, he noted, as usual, that each hallway looked slightly less appealing as the last.

Finally he reached his assigned section. He looked at the hall that was much worse than the others. A few of the lights were either burned out, or blinking rapidly. On the walls graffiti covered almost every area of the hall. The lockers were also in disarray as one could see the missing doors on a few, and graffiti on the rest. He looked up at the top of the entrance and saw a sign that was covered in graffiti. But if you looked closely you could see the printed words that said D-section written on it.

The blonde sighed as he walked into the stereotypical high school hell that was his section of the school. He used to wonder how this single section of the school could look like absolute shit. But after a few weeks he pretty much realized it was only because this was the section that all the lowest scoring students attended. So as a result they got lower funding, as well an enormous amount of delinquents. The only good thing about this section of the school was that everyone was very weak.

That's because in the Jonin Konoha military academy, the section you were assigned to was based on your intelligence as well as your fighting skills. By fighting skills that meant your skill with the martial art of your choosing. Konoha is made up of two types of people. The first are the volunteers, they choose the martial arts by either picking a master or by being self taught. The second types are the members of the great military clans. These types of people study the family martial arts and have done so since before they could walk; as such they usually ranked higher than the volunteers. As for Naruto, he hadn't had much of a choice. Orphaned at birth he had been forced to enter the military academy, the only problem was he hadn't learned any martial arts. When Naruto had gotten tested, he scored so low they actually considered making an F-section. Of course that was because he had no fighting techniques and as for intelligence, he was as thick as a steel door. As soon as Naruto entered school he was branded an outcast from even the outcasts.

The only salvation he had was from his infamous pranks and his two friends Sai and Shikamaru. They were the only ones who didn't mind the blondes company, because unlike everyone else in D-section they had no motivation to leave D-section, and being caught with Naruto Uzumaki insured that. Of course Naruto knew that they could very easily make it into a higher ranked section. Shikamaru was extremely intelligent and Sai was very well balanced in his skills. Shikamaru however didn't care about the academy in the least, because he came from a military clan family and was forced to attend, he almost scored lower than Naruto. As for Sai… well Naruto didn't know why Sai wasn't placed higher.

Naruto walked into his classroom and sat down next to his two friends. They nodded at his direction and then looked back up to the teacher, who by now noticed the blue eyed boy.

"You're late again Naruto!" The brown haired teacher yelled so loud that Naruto could've sworn he was deaf in one ear afterward.

"Sorry Iruka-sensei! I woke up late and…" But before he could finish Iruka interrupted him.

"Just take your seat Naruto! You have detention!"

Naruto didn't argue and immediately took his seat. When Naruto first got his schedule for his junior year and saw Iruka as his first period teacher he knew he was in trouble. Iruka was the only teacher in D-section who actually tried to educate the students, something the students didn't care for at first. But when Iruka rejected a position in the great S-section, he earned the trust and respect of all the students of D-section. It was thanks to Iruka's teaching skills that some of the students actually managed to go to higher sections.

Iruka began the lesson and Naruto decided to pay attention for once.

Sakura ran toward the meeting. She was late for the Konoha 9 meeting. The Konoha 9 were the nine rulers of the school who served and reported directly to the Hokage. The Hokage was the ultimate power at the school. For the last 3 years the Hokage had been Sasuke Uchiha, after he had beaten the previous Hokage in his freshman year, making him the youngest Hokage in the history of the school. The Konoha 9 consisted of the nine strongest people in the school. Coincidently they had all been classmates since Genin Elementary school. Finally reaching the room where the meeting was to take place she stopped for a second to finger comb her hair and straiten her skirt, before walking into the room.

Walking into the room she was surprised to find that all the lights were turned off. She looked for the light switch and when she found it she turned the lights on, only to be surprised when she saw all the members looking down at the floor as if they were avoiding her gaze.

"What's going on you guys?" Sakura asked confused. When they just continued to look at the floor her confusion grew.

"You're late." A voice said behind her. Recognizing the voice Sakura turned around to be face to face with Sasuke. Now Sakura was really confused. Sasuke never came to meetings unless something serious happened.

"Sasuke why are you here?"

"I'm here because I wanted to attend the meeting but I don't understand why you had to attack me." Sasuke said calmly.

Now Sakura was completely lost. She hadn't attacked him, what was he talking about? Before she could question him though, Sasuke's bodyguard, Suigetsu came running out of the shadows with two swords drawn. Sakura barely managed to stop her arm from being amputated. She was so stunned at what was going on that she couldn't even defend herself from his attacks. He slashed at her leg this time and she immediately stumbled on her knee as the attack had cut some of her muscles. He went in for the kill. Realizing this Sakura lifted her fist and punched the floor creating a seismic shock that caused Suigetsu to trip. As he fell Sakura punched him with her other hand and he was sent flying straight toward the wall. After that Sakura fell down from the blood loss. Sakura looked up at the other members weakly.

"Guys can you help me out here?" She asked in pain. But instead of helping her they continued to look at the floor. Slowly Sakura felt the whole world crash around her.

"Guys c'mon help me out here!" She said with tears starting to form in her eyes. But still they didn't look up.

"Please help me!" She screamed now, tears falling freely from her face.

"Silence!" Sasuke yelled.

Surprised Sakura looked up to the boy who until now was her boyfriend.

"Sakura you are no longer a member of this council. Someone will gather your things and you will be going to D-section starting tomorrow. We should've never trusted a filthy volunteer like you."

It was at that moment that Sakura knew what this was about. There had always been a dispute between the volunteers and the clan members. She had always thought little of it, but recently the dispute had gotten worse. And that was why she was being betrayed now. She was the only council member who was a volunteer. Once she took it all in she looked at the room only to just notice that everyone had left. She remembered Sasuke explaining something about some medics, but at the moment she was to numb to care. She should have been thinking a thousand things a second but at the moment she couldn't even feel anything.

So there's the first chapter hope you like. I haven't worked on writing for a while. That's because my laptop broke when I was halfway into a chapter. I had no motivation afterward. So if you are wondering I will eventually update my other fic, just not now. I'm going to try to balance all these fics but its not easy so don't expect constant updates. I recently got a job at a shoe repair store and I start college tomorrow. So anyway review and tell me what you think. This is a fic I've been thinking about for a while now. Constructive criticism is encouraged.
