The fire had burned down his house so Naruto had moved in with Jiriya and, now a junior in high school was going to attend the same high school that Jiriya taught at. Jiriya was the literature teacher, though ever year he applied to teach sex ed, but every year was denied. Jiriya only really had a few friends that visited him from work. They were his old college buddies who also worked in the high school. Tsunade, a very large breasted woman with a short fuse of a temper, was the school principle. And Jiriyas best friend, a homosexual albino named Orochimiau. He taught drama with his teaching assistant Kabuto.
The car had stopped in the front of the school as Naruto looked up at the center, there was a bronze shaded statue of a sickly looking man with bags under his eyes, Naruto's eye drifted up to the name of the school. "Hayate Geko Memorial High school" "OK Naruto this is where you get off, I have to go to the teachers parking lot, are you going to be OK?" "Yeah sure thing" Naruto muttered as he hopped out of the car and into the main office. There he met a 30 something woman that he saw many times with Tsunade. She had short black hair, a black kimono and a nurses hat with a red T on it, she was Tsunade's secretary and the school nurse, Shizune. Along side her was Tsunade's pet pot bellied pig, Tonton. Tsunade had claimed it was the schools mascot as an excuse to bring her to work
Naruto was looking his schedule up and down, unable to decipher it for the life of him, he never was very smart. Keeping his eyes glued to the paper, he accidentally bumped into two boys. One had long black hair that he kept up in a bushy pony tail, and seemed to have a look on his face like he didn't wanna be here. The second boy was a big bigger, a lot bigger. He even was wolfing down a bag of chips in the middle of the hall way. "Oh sorry, hey could you help me find this class?" Naruto asked innocently
"Tsk, how troublesome. Yeah let's see...hmmm...well Choji we just found a new friend. I'm Shikamaru, and the next class you have is Social Studies with Mr. (Asuma) Sarutobi. Thats the class we're heading too, so you mind as well stick with us. What's sweet is he smokes so he has to keep a window open for the smoke, I make sure to get a window seat and stare at the clouds" The whole time he was talking Choji just ate and ate with a smile
Walking across the school, the three got to talking and soon became good friends. "Ugh, how troublesome, listen Naruto the quickest way to get there is going through the lunch hang out. But that's also where the biggest assholes hang out, so just be careful" Naruto nodded as they walked to a pathway that crept up a hill.
Naruto noticed that the people who hung out at the bottom of the hill all greeted Choji and Shikamaru, but the higher they got up the hill, the more glares they started to receive. About halfway up the hill, Choji saw a girl and nudged Shikamaru. He looked over and blushed as he saw a senior girl in a gray dress with blond hair in four pig tails. Shikamaru began to really blushed the more he looked at her, but turned away before she caught him staring as Choji giggled. Naruto smiled and looked around him but almost stopped where he stood. There was a girl with short black hair and lavender eyes next to the blond girl. She was very pail and had a puffy tan coat on her
She saw Naruto looking at her and blushed deeply. Quickly she hid behind the blond girl as Shikamaru pulled Naruto's arm. "C'mon keep moving new guy" "Yeah...sorry" Naruto looked back and waved goodbye to the girl as she shyly waved back

Atop the hill sat a boy the same age as Naruto with onyx black hair and black eyes. He sat in the center of a gang of students and noticed Shikamaru and Choji farther up the social ladder than they were supposed to be. He had a blond girl dressed in purple to his left and a pink haired girl in red to his right. Around him were a boy with red hair and a tattoo above his left eye. Next to him was a lavender eyed boy with hair down to his butt though he kept it well groomed. Almost guarding the highest point of this spot were four teens. "Seems Shikamaru and fatso forgot where they're supposed to stay" muttered Sasuke. "Sakon, Jiriobo, Kidomaru. Tayuya, remind them of our rules" The four guards nodded and walked toward Naruto
----
Naruto turned away from the girl and stepped up to Shikamaru. "Who was the girl with the clear eyes?" "Oh that was Hinata Hyuuga, her cousins a bully though so don't bother kid" Naruto had stopped listening after the first few seconds 'Hinata hu?... Naruto was lost in thought as he walked into Shikamaru and Choji who had stopped walking. Soon they were surrounded by four kids who were big enough they some of them had to have been held back "You seemed to have forgotten your place Nara, you belong down there" said Kidomaru.
"Shikamaru, who are these guys?" asked Naruto "Let us answer that, we're the top of the food chain and you belong down there!" Jirobo leaned in for a punch as Choji prepared to punch back. Choji closed his eyes and waited for collision but nothing happened. He opened his eyes to find a boy had stopped both of them. He had a black bowl cut, eye brows the size of caterpillars, a green t shirt and green jeans. Naruto was shocked by his speed and strength that he stopped both fists before they hit "Please, do not fight, it is not right for us to do this, let alone at school"
"You're always such a goody goody Lee" snapped Sasuke. Naruto looked up to see some punk in a blue shirt and white shorts with two girls by his side. Lee blushed immensely when he looked at the pink haired girl. He let go of the fists, approached her and kissed her hand bowing. "Hello Sakura, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Sakura blushed, smiled and was about to respond happily, but looked back at Sasuke and Ino. With anger in their eyes, her smile turned to a frown "I...I mean...back off bushy brows"
Lee smiled and mentally brushed off her words, he knew that one day he would win her heart. Tayuya screamed as all four realized they were suddenly covered in ants. A boy hopped down from a tree branch. He had a grayish trench coat covering his mouth, sunglasses and an afro. With all the commotion Naruto had approached Sasuke, only to be stopped by his personal body guards Gaara and Neji.
"Listen, new kid. You seem tough, I like you, why don't you move up from those loser and join us?" offered Sasuke. Naruto looked down at Lee, Shino, Shikamaru and Choji. He looked back at Ino, Sasuke, Neji and Gaara. The decision was obvious.
"No thanks emo boy, I like these guys a lot more" Naruto said as he put him arms around Choji and Shikamaru's neck. "Ugh, stop touching me, you are troublesome new kid" Sasuke huffed angrily as Sakura and Ino got back to his side "Big mistake" he muttered as he walked away, right as the bell rang for the next class
Sakura looked back at Lee as he laughed at Naruto's antics. She smiled at him, then turned back and caught up with Sasuke.
"Sorry to tell this to you, but he's right. Around here guys like us are the losers" muttered Shikamaru as the four of them headed toward their next class. "Hey, whats your name anyway?" "Naruto Uzumaki!"

Hinata, Tenten, Kankuro, Kiba and Temari where sitting around a tree watching all the commotion. "What do you think all that was about?" muttered Kiba "Dunno" said Tenten
Hinata just leaned against the tree fidgeting with her fingers "Naruto Uzumaki..."
