A/N. Ok I went back and fixed this story , took some things out and add some new things, I also changed the bearing Sakura will not be in it, she only has a small part in the story, and to the Sakura lovers I'm sorry,
Chapter1. The Prank.
'Ding' "Lades and gentlemen this is you captain speaking, we will be making our final descent to Konohagakure the temper her is a nice 86 degrees, please make sure that your tray tables are up and that your seat is in its full upright position, and as always thank you for flying Nine-Tailed Air; the most powerful of all the air lines."
At the end of the announcement, everyone on the Boeing-747 was getting ready for the landing, putting there seats up, putting away what ever they may have had out to pass the time, well all but one person any way. In the back on the far left sat a young man around twenty-two years of age with wild blond hair, but the oddest thing about him was the three whisker like birth marks on his cheeks that made him look more wild. He was dressed in a pair Black jeans a red t-shit and an orange belt, and he was fast asleep
The flight attendant was walking up and down the row of seats checking the passengers to see if they were ready for landing when she spotted the blond in the back "Ummm… Sir, the plane will be landing soon." The flight attendant said trying to wake up the young blond.
The sleeping blond just turned his head away from the voice, trying to stay asleep. This did not go well for the women trying to wake him, she had had a long flight and she still had a job to do, so she griped his shoulder and shook him a bit. "Sir, you need to wake up."
"Hgrr, what's with cheeseburgers anyway?" he waved his hands at what was shaking him and ended up rubbing his hand allover the woman's face.
Now she was pissed first there was a fat gut that would slap her ass ever time she would walk by, then there was the screaming baby that through up on her and now this guys was rubbing her face. The stewardess looked around to see if any one was looking before she picked up the blond half empty drink and dumped it on his head. "Kaede!"
He shoots up from his seat looking around for his sister but only found a glairing woman,. "Sir, the plane will be lading soon, you'll need to take your seat as well as fasten your seat belt." The woman said with a stern voice.
"Sorry about that," the blond said whipping the coke off his face before fixing the back of his seat, and the flight attendant just left with a huff. 'Damn, she needs to get laid, and fast.'' Naruto's thoughts of the rude woman soon left his mind as he thought how his life was going to be now, he had quit his job at the Pizza Parlor (which he hated), packed up all his stuff, and was now a college student, witch meant new friends, parties, and girls.
Not more then fourteen minutes later Naruto was standing in front of the baggage claim with a red suitcase in one hand a green duffle bag in the other, a guitar case on his back and about twelve boxes of different shapes and sizes around him. 'Shit, well it's obvious that I didn't think this one out. How in the hell am I going to get all my stuff to the pick-up on the other side of the airport? If I can only make an ungodly amount of copies of myself I'd be set.' As if someone was reading his thoughts Naruto saw someone walk by with a large cart. "Hey! Where can I get one of those carts?" Naruto said, stopping the guy with the cart. The man was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a black T-shirt with "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" slogan written in yellow on the front of it.
"I got it from the main desk, but I'm done with it. You want it?" asked the man in the super cool shirt.
"Yeah, that would be great, thanks a lot." Naruto said almost yelling as he took the cart and began putting his things on it.
"Now, to go pick up the fuzz ball, after which, I can go get my room assignment and start unpacking." The blond said to no one in particular. When he got to the front desk he found that several people were standing with an angry looks and talking amongst themselves. "Ummm… Can someone help me? I'm here to pick up my pet." A woman stepped up and took his claim ticket. Glancing at the ticket and ran off fast with a big grin. When she got back, she put a large dog carrier on the counter; Naruto looked in and saw a very proud looking fox.
Letting out a large sigh he looked to the woman. "Ok what did he do now?" he asked only to have all twelve of people behind the desk held up an arm or a hand with bandages on them.
"You had to bite them didn't you? What's wrong with you?" Naruto berated the proud fox as the wacked the side of the carrier. "You know, this is why I gave you guys instructions not to open his cage no madder what." Naruto said to the staff
"That little bastard pretended to be sick, so when I opened the cage to check on him, the fucker ran amuck and bit every one that tried to catch it." Came the voice of the manager
"Ok fine I know the drill, how much are you going to fine me for this? Or are you just going to sue me?" Naruto retorted.
"Well unfortunately for us, because you told us not to open its cage we have no legal grounds to sue you, but I would like to ask, why a fox as a pet?" asked the manager
"Well…any you know the legend of the Kyuubi no Yoko?" He got a number of nods as his answer. "Well, that story just happens to be one of my favorites and the story was told in my family all the way from my great-great-great-great-grandfather, so that's why I went in the woods one day and snagged this little guy." Naruto said, smiling at the memory as he stuck a finger in the cage and scratched the fox's chin.
The manager just looked at Naruto like he was the stupidest guy he has ever seen. "So, you went out and caught a wild animal because you liked a story?" It was this time the manager got the nod from the blond. "Well, you seem like a good kid so let me tell you that fox's are looked down upon in this city for that very story you love so be careful."
"Thanks I will." Naruto said as he grabbed Kyuubi's cage.
"Oh and one more thing, here." The manager handed a business card. "Call me when that beast dies, I'll bring flowers to its grave." He said with a grin.
If Naruto were a smarter man, he wouldn't let some thing like that make him mad, but anyone that knew Naruto knew that he was the type to defend his friends, even if that friend is a evil fox. Naruto turned to the manager and gave him a shot to the face that sent him to the ground with a broken nose before walking away with the carrier and fox in his hand.
Now Naruto was pissed, here he was starting college, going out on his own, and having some freedom. He should be happy, but that jackass had just killed his good mood. Naruto would have continued with his current rate of thought, but when he made it out side the terminal he saw a guy who could not have been any older then the blond himself standing next to a sign that read 'ANBU Learning Academy' so Naruto hastily made his way over.
"So, you're the one the academy sent over to pick me up." Naruto asked.
"Which would make you Uzumaki."
"Yeah that me, but just call me Naruto." He said offering is hand.
"The name's Shikamaru." He said as he took Naruto's hand in a hand shake "Ok load up your stuff and let's go. This place is far too active for my taste, oh and you drive." Shikamaru said tossing the keys in to Naruto hands.
Naruto just shrugged it off and began loading up his bags wrapping the cage in a seat belt before climbing into the driver's seat, leaving the airport behind.
"So, why do I get the feeling that you don't want to be here?" Naruto asked
"Am I that obvious?" Shikamaru replyed looking over to the blond. "I'm just not cut out for this college thing... One year is enough for me."
"Why don't you take a year off? That's what I did before I came here."
"Too troublesome…" Shikamaru said bluntly.
Naruto raised a brow at this. "What do you mean by 'too troublesome?"
"Well, first I would need to tell the academy that I was going, but that I'd be back in a year, so that I could get my room back, but I would also have tell my friends and listen to them say 'good luck' 'don't go' or something along those lines. Then I would need to find something to do with all my newly found free time, it would just all be too troublesome. Oh and turn here." Shikamaru said.
"You can always look at the clouds?" Naruto said throwing an idea out.
"You know what Naruto, I like you." Said the lazy guy.
"Always happy to make a new friend." The blond gave a one of a kind fox like grin.
The rest of the drive was uneventful and quite, as Naruto made one more turn and pulled up to the schools front gates Shikamaru stopped him. "Ok I'm going to bail, nice meeting you Naruto. Just give the van to the person at the registration office, it's the small bluish building"
"Sure, no problem Shikamaru, see you around." Naruto said driving off, he soon found the area he needed but there was a problem, there were two buildings is light blue but it was being panted red, then there was a red one but that was being panted blue. "Ok, I guess I just need to pick one." He pulls up and parks in front of the red building now being panted blue, and heads for the door the guy panting giving him a shocked look.
He opened the door and walked in but after taking fore steps he stopped dead in his track as did everyone else did, this was not the office he was looking for, but a girls locker room, all around him were girls some naked as the day, some in panties, a few in the showers and one or 2 in bathing suites. "Umm this is not the office is it?" asked a red faced but grinning Naruto.
None of the girls answered him just stared at him for about a minute then all hell broke looks the girls starts screaming and throwing every thing the they could at him bags books swimming gear one girl managed to hit him with a hot curling iron before he managed to craw out the door slamming it behind him. Out side the people that heard all the screaming started laughing at the pore blond. "Hey thanks for the warning!" He yelled at the laughing grounds keeper.
"Don't blame me kid, it's not my fault you can't read." He points out a sign on the wall that read Girls locker room 2. Before Naruto can say something more when he felt a pain in the back of his head, he yelled out in surprise and grabbed the back of his head and turned back.
Standing behind him was a girl around his age wearing baggy black jeans, a drown T-shirt that read "I dare you" right over her breasts witch he musts say were great, from his place on the ground he looked up higher and found an anger face toped with red hair under an hat that she was wearing backwards "Fucking pervert!" he reached down and grabbing the blond by the shirt and polled him up to eye level. "If I ever see you near me again I will fucking kill you, you dickless cocksucker!"
Naruto knew he fucked up and jugging from the red tint on the girls face she was just embarrassed so he thought he would try and set things right. "So…want to get something to eat?" the girls looked shocked but then grind darkly before punching the poor blond in the face, the guys painting the building flinched at the power as the kid's knees gave out under him and he went down. The girl smiled down and spit on his face as she stepped over him and walked off. "Ok… she was pissed not embarrassed..."
Soon Naruto pulled himself up off the ground and trudged to the other building, and unlike the last one he read the sign and this was the right building he opened the door and there were a few people laughing at him but he ignored them and walked up to a desk and find a man in his late 30's, with a scar across his nose. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I'm here for my class schedule and my dorm assignment."
"Hello Naruto, I'm Iruka Umino, and I have to say that was one hell of a hit, and you might want to get some ice for that eye, now just give me a minute and you'll be on your way" Iruka began type on the computer looking for Naruto's file "Ok Naruto I got your schedule here, but there is no dorm assignment."
"What are you talking about? I filled out the paper work for a dorm room last year." Naruto almost shouted.
Iruka was typing away on the computer in front of him. "Yes that is correct, you did reserve a room." Naruto let out a sigh of relief. "But it looks like someone named Kaede cancelled it. It seems she gave all the right information and said that you'd be living off campus."
Naruto look at Mr. Umino in shock for a few seconds before tuning to leave, but he was stopped by Iruka. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience Naruto, but don't forget your schedule and your dorm refund. "After handing Naruto the paper and his check he looked and smiled. "I'll tell you what. Seeing as you have one of the schools vans, go on and keep it for a little bit that way you can look for a place to stay."
"Oh… Ummm… Thanks!" Naruto was grateful for the loan of the van, but his brain was going a mile a minute trying to think of a place to stay and what to do to his little sister when he got is hands on her. 'Huh, wonder what it's going to be like to have a corpse for a sister…' Naruto let out a loud evil sounding laugh as he walked out leaving a scared teacher
Naruto got back to the van and pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Hello?"
"Hey mom, it's me."
"Oh Brat, you there already?" she said sounding confused
"Yeah mom, I'm here, there's something called a combustible engine now so travel is not limited to only a horse and buggy."
"WHY YOU LITTLE SHIT! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO CALL ME OLD!"
"Well, I wouldn't have too if you would stop callin' me brat, anyway I just found out what Kaede's goodbye prank was."
"Oh and what might it be?" his mom said sounding interested.
"She cancelled my dorm reservation." Naruto was irrupted by the sound of hysterical laughter. "Hey! What the hell do you think is so funny, I'm homeless damn it!"
"Kaede really took your little war up a notch didn't she? I'm gonna go ahead and guess that's her revenge for you hiding her Icha Icha Paradise?"
"I only did it because she took my special edition volume 3."
"Well, anyway your sister is at the mall with her friends, and when you find an apartment I will send you some money so you can pay the rent on it, but only until you get a job. So get off your ass and start looking." *click* and the line went dead.
Naruto looked at the cell with a look of pure and unbridled wrath before stuffing it in his pocket. 'Well I guess I can go check a bulletin board' after a short drive her found the board.
*Bulletin board*
Band Rehearsals this Friday, come if you can play an instrument.

Dance club. Join or I will kill you.
'Man! This is taking to much time, where are the apartments? Oh there they are.' Naruto took the paper and walked back to the van.
Across Town
He came up to the apartment complex, and saw the one that was to be rented out. The complex was beige, but the apartment in question was painted green. 'What in the hell?' Naruto thought, he knocked on the door once and the door flew open, and there stood a man with a bowl cut in green spandex shorts and a dark green shirt.
"Ah! Someone saw my ad that a roommate would be needed! The money should be able to cover some of the expenses of the youthful boxing league! Please, come in!" Naruto was too stunned to respond and was brought in. The apartment was insanely green and clean. There were wall scrolls that had written on them 'Youth!' and 'Power!'
"Please follow me! This is the Training room that I will now be clearing out for the youthful rentee!" He said as he showed the half empty room filled with weights and boxing bags.
"Umm… I just remembered that I have that thing at that one place so, later!" and with that, Naruto started hauling ass out the door.
Next…
'What the hell is this place!He thought. As he walked up to the fair sized well, it looked like a hut. 'Man this is all the way in the forest, but I guess beggars can't be choosers… Lee's place didn't count…' He walked up to the hut and knocked on the door. The door opened and revealed a six-foot seven tall blue haired man, wearing a green tunic and blue breeches,
"Oh hey! You here about that room I'm renting out? By the way, the names Louie" the large man asked/greeted, Naruto nodded and went in on his own accord.
The place looked small on the outside, but was very large within, causing Naruto to rub his eyes in disbelief. "Umm… What the…"
Louie looked at him, "Oh, yeah, don't go into any room with a skull and crossbones on it!" He looked and saw that nearly every room had it. "I kind of still have to work out where the dimensional gates go into!" he said with a grin. Louie continued on and Naruto hung back, and opened one of the doors. Behind it he saw a large Woman-spider thing looking at him with bad intent. Naruto quickly slammed the door shut, running and screaming, repenting nearly every bad thing he had ever done.
"Well, there goes another one…" said a small brown haired woman.
"Yeah, I guess I should keep my experiments behind locked doors, right Merril?…" The little woman just rolled her eyes at her husband
The rest of the day was very hard for Naruto, he found that Shikamaru was looking for a roommate but told Naruto no because having a pet was too troublesome. Shikamaru then told him that a friend runs a bakery and was renting a room out, but when Naruto got there he found that the family was so into there food he would have to follow all kinds of rules and regulations just to walk to his room so he decided not to live there.
'Today just went down the crapper. There is only one apartment left and...The hell? It's a block away from the college?' "What the hell I just ran my ass allover this damned town and now the last place is right where I started this is total Bull with a capital 'B'!" Naruto roared to the sky.
As the elevator door opened, Naruto stuck his head out to see if there was anything that might blow up, wound, cook, slap, rape, {he tried Anko's Condo *grin*} scare, or eat him, only to see a normal looking hallway, well he would have chosen a different color for the carpet, but that was besides the point. Naruto was to busy with his hallway inspection and failed to notice the other elevator door opening as another blond girl walk out.
"Hey who are you? I never seen you before, are you new the building?"
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA." Naruto jump holding the ceiling like a scared little cat, Naruto was about to say something to the laughing girl when dropped down landing face first on the floor, causing the girl to laugh even harder "Don't sneak up on me like that! What the hell is wrong with you!" Naruto yelled after shooting out from the floor.
"I'm sorry. No need to yell, you know. So why are you here?" she asked still laughing a bit
"Oh, my little friend and I are looking for apartment number 43." Naruto said look down to Kyuubi who was sitting next to him.
"Oh, so you're interested in the room?" she had stopped laughing and was smiling now.
"How did you know that?" Naruto asked.
"Oh I'm sorry, I'm Ino the one that placed the ad." The girl known as Ino said extending her hand.
Now that Naruto got a good look at Ino he couldn't help but like what he saw. She was dressed in a pair of light blue denim shorts the hugged her hips tightly, a white tank top with a red over shirt tied in a not at her stomach, and with her long bond hair sitting in a pony tail, Naruto could only think of one thing: 'damn'.
"Come on, the apartment is this way." Ino said with a smile.
Ino and Naruto walked down the hall and she opened what seemed to be a random door "Well aren't you coming in?"
"Before I even step foot in here, I need to know a few things. First, are there any trap doors?
"Trap doors? What the hell are you talking about?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"Ok second,… do you have any problems with pets?
Ino just gave Naruto a blank look before waking through the door and came back a few seconds later with a rather big cat. "You're asking if I have any problems with the type of pet you have, am I right? Well this is Neko, she is a Siberian lynx, does that answer your question?"
Kyuubi picked up at this. "So it looks like I have a cute roommate to play with."
"Keep dreaming foxy." Neko said turning away from the fox and walked back in to the apartment.
Naruto then turned into a computing machine, 'cool pet+cuteirl+big apartment=score."
NA
