Blonde hair bounced slightly as a boy of 16 walked down the hallways of his new school. The bell had already rung and he could hear the bustle of students in their classrooms. He opened the door to Room 7 and dodged an eraser...

A girl with pink hair sat next to one of her best friends. She was smiling widely and glanced every now and then at a boy sitting behind her. He caught her staring and scoffed before turning his head to the side in an attempt to hide the light blush dusting his cheeks. She giggled before turning back to her blonde friend who was complaining about her partners for a science project. Some lazy ass and fatty.

The boy was staring out of the window. A raven lock fell in front of his eyes and he blew it back. He was suddenly jostled as a boy with a dog rushed to the back of the class trying to escape the teacher. The boy closed his eyes and sighed.

The principle sat in her office growling at the pile of paperwork taunting her on the desk. She walked to the door of her office, glancing around outside it quickly before shutting it. She sat on her seat with a sigh and opened a desk drawer. She pulled out a bottle of sake and took a swig. Suddenly the front desk secretary burst in and started yelling at her before grabbing her bottle of sake and leaving the room.

A handsome young man with silver hair lounged against the school bleachers. He was reading a little orange book and completely ignoring the excited man beside him. The other man was wearing green sweats, jumping up and down and yelling at the young man. The young man sighed before closing his book and walked to the track. He took a running position and waited for the other man to get ready. When the green man took off down the track the other man just straightened up, walked over to his previous place and continued reading his book.

An old man with ridiculously long hair was standing outside the fence to a hot spring. He was wearing traditional style robes and carrying a sketch pad and pencil. He had a blush on his face and giggling. A woman exited the entrance of the hot springs and saw the man peeking through the fence. She called for others and soon the old man was being beaten by a group of angry women.

A man that looked incredibly similar to the high school boy was sitting in a meeting of a major corporation. He had a bored look on his face. When he was released from the meeting he was ambushed by a giant man with bright blue eyes and sharp teeth. The tall man steered the raven haired man to the exit complaining about how much of a workaholic he was. The other man just smirked and let himself be led out of the huge building.

"Okay, quiet down class! Please welcome our new student. Uzumaki Naruto." The whole class became silent as they looked into the jovial blue eyes of the newest student.
Naruto locked eyes with Sakura and then Sasuke. A look of recognition flashed through their eyes. All of the years of sweat, blood, and pain came back to them. The memories of missions, trips to a ramen stand, and war flooded in. Of fruitless attempts to become whole again. Of the final days in which they fought their hardest.
Sakura laughed, tears flooding from her eyes as she jumped up and ran to give Naruto a hug. She stepped back as Sasuke came walking up calmly. Both boys had a serious expression on their face. A tense silence followed before Naruto broke into a grin and Sasuke smirked. They bumped fists and everything was forgiven. It was a new day, after all.
