Hello this is my first Naruto fanfic so reviews are greatly appreciated and also ideas, the story will progress and I hope that it will spur my writing onto greater heights.

For those who do not know the story may become SasuNaru but I still HAVE NOT decided currently the plot is based on a trip to the circus that leaves Naruto yearning to join the most amazing show on earth but nothing is ever simple and straightforward also with performers and people common to the Naruto series he is sure to encounter some lively personalities. So are you up to read the story? If so then let's begin!

It was marvelous, it was amazing, it went beyond words. Naruto's eyes nearly popped out his head at the imagery placed in front of him, colors, lights and spectacular sounds all flooded his senses at once. The smell of the popcorn being passed around so eagerly, the vivid pigmentation of every object that went passed his eyes, and the seemingly mind blowing ooohs and aaahs from the awe struck crowd, truly this place was magical.

Earlier the day before…

Naruto quickly walked through the town square hoping no one would yell at him today; he didn't want a repeat of yesterday's events, it took him at least three showers to finally get the paint out of his hair.

Konoha, an immense city inside of Japan, an interesting place where life seemed to be encased in the populations own bubble of interests. No one ever left Konoha unless they had encountered vast riches or had finally given up on their "big city" dreams. For Naruto neither of these fantasies described his life, an orphan from birth the poor child had survived by merely scrounging around the city in hopes of one day actually attaining something worth living for, other than the prostitution that seemed to befall most of his comrades. Though many a time Naruto had thought of this "alternative route" he shied away from it. Naruto himself was not ugly, actually to many quite the opposite, some would go as far as the describe him as Adonis like a bronzed alpine body reaching past 6 foot complete with washboard abdominals and toned muscles accentuated by gleaming expressive azure eyes that seemed to compliment the luscious flaxen hair that protruded in every direction ; the only imperfection, if one could even call them that, were the six scars that lined Naruto's cheeks though they simply added to the animalistic look of the enchanting youth.

Overall Naruto was gorgeous but to many he was a nuisance, a well know practical joker Naruto's harmonious laughter could be heard bellowing from within him where ever one may have been located in the city. Though he did not resort to trickery to bamboozle others out materials such as food or clothes rather Naruto loved the adrenaline of well executed prank, actually Naruto loved adrenaline period.

Many a time would the locals see the Adonis running throughout the city while a crowd would slowly attempt to ensnare him, Naruto was not only fast but also smart, though not the "book smart" that society bases intelligence off of, if that was the case Naruto was as useful as pen with no ink, but rather "street knowledge" as it has been called. During his many years in the city Naruto knew every route, back door, alley way and rooftop the city had to offer and to Naruto Konoha was a vast playground waiting to be explored by the teen.

"Finally" Naruto said to himself as he reached the hospital, it wasn't uncommon for the youth to arrive there seeing as his "aunt" was the chief of medicine. Naruto greeted Shizune, the assistant and mildly chatted before reaching his destination. As he pushed open the door one could read the plaque stating the renowned doctor's name, Tsunade Sanin. Naruto strode to the chair behind the large oak desk, he comfortably sat down and commenced with devouring the heat up Ramen that Shizune had graciously bestowed upon him when he walked past her earlier.

"Aaah, granny sure is living the high life here. I mean look at this great view." Naruto swiveled around to see out the large glass wall that lay behind him. The view truly was spectacular, since the hospital was located toward the nucleus of the city one saw every detail the metropolis had to offer. People jostled and sped to reach their next destination while swerving and dodging the oncoming traffic whose drivers blatantly blared their car horns in an attempt to accelerate the pedestrians. Shops and restaurants signs littered the walkways advertising sales and afternoon specials, the balconies and rooftops were covered with people enjoying the lovely sun whilst chatting about their appointments and daily events. It might not have been perfect but it was home,

Tsunade burst into the room screaming into her cell phone "You tell him that I need that report now! Well I don't care how long it takes or what he has to do to finish it, but tell him that it will be done or I will finish him along with the report." With a snap of the device she breathed in and began to massage her temples.

"Ugh great I trade one annoyance for another. What do you need brat?" She leaned over her desk exposing her rather well endowed chest to Naruto. Though it seemed unprofessional Tsunade was highly vain and her already youthful image assisted her self-confidence.

" Wow this is the thanks I get for carting all your crap around town, next time I'll send some idiot to do." Naruto retaliated.

"No need seeing as the idiot was you." Naruto puffed out his cheeks in annoyance and shoved a fork full of Ramen into his mouth.

"Wis iz de wast thime I shelp vu."

"Don't talk with your mouth full." Tsunade barked. Naruto swallowed the noodles.

"I said this is the last time I help you." He folded his arms in finality.

"eh" Tsunade walked around her room until she found the file she was looking for.

Forcing Naruto out of the luxurious chair, she plopped the file down and opened it to see its contents.

"Hmm well this is strange but it looks like he'll be on his feet in a couple days but wow I've never had an injury like this before. " Tsunade mumbled to herself.

"Like what?" Naruto stopped prancing around the room to look at the file Tsunade was examining.

"What this, nothing much just a minor animal bite. It seems that this man, she pointed to the photo, was bit by a Bengal Tiger just yesterday. It was not major seeing from the post ER photos but the initial shock was enough to worry many of our faculty. Though in the tiger's defense this man, she pointed to another photo this one of the tiger and another younger looking man, the animal tamer said it was in defense due to a stunt involving a fire breathing gone wrong, understandable, and since the man is filling no lawsuits the tiger is free to go."

Naruto was at a loss for words, was all this normal to Tsunade?

"Where did they get a tiger from?"

"Oh silly me, these are circus folk they live for the thrill and with any show like this there is always a risk factor." Tsunade flipped the page to view the medical report.

Thrill…risk factor, Naruto's blood began to boil while his nerves shook. He was instantly interested and who knew maybe going to circus would be fun.

"Tsunade where is this circus currently? I mean they must be in town right?" Naruto asked eagerly

"Hmm I'm not quite sure…"

"Tsunade?" Shizune's voice rang in over the intercome. "There is a man here to see you, his name is Kakashi Hatake"

"Oh yes send him in at once." Tsunade said.

The door creaked open and in stepped and odd looking man. He was alpine and fit with unusual grayish white hair that stuck out from the side of his head like scarecrow. His left eye was cover with a navy blue scarf that also looped around to cover his mouth and neck. His crutches limited his speed but he seemed to walk well with them. He wore a fitted burgundy v-neck sweater with dark blue jeans; it suited him quite well and made him look rather attractive, seeing as he was in his mid 20's. He hobbled up to the desk and smiled at both Tsunade and Naruto, well you could tell he was smiling because his right eye squinted.

"I wanted to personally thank you for helping me healing as quickly as possible. From all of us at the Circo di Foglie(1) we humbly thank you and hope that you will accept this token of our gratitude." He handed out two pieces of paper and Tsunade grabbed them.

"I hope you will be able to come, I know it's short notice but it is the last show we will be doing in Konoha." He smiled once more.

"I will earnestly try but I know Naruto would love to attend, he was just asking me about your show." She pointed toward Naruto who blushed.

"Oh pleased to meet you Naruto, my name is Kakashi Hatake I am the manager of the Circo di Foglie. It would be marvelous if you could attend our show as well."

"Come on Kakashi, I'm not going to wait forever and don't use the "I got lost on the path of life" excuse we have a show to prepare for."

All out attention diverted to the voice behind Kakashi. A boy glided through the room so quickly and quietly Naruto was surprised when he made it to the desk. He was breathtaking, lithe body with a svelte aura around him, his kyanite colored hair glimmered in the lighting whilst protruding backward but his bangs fell in front of his face. They contrasted against his alabaster skin and landed on his high cheekbones, the true striking part of his appearance was his onyx eyes that pierced and analyzed everything that caught his line of vision. His permanent scowl didn't even dent his beauty if anything it merely enhanced it. To add to his aura of mystery and cosmopolitan stance the blue and black stripped cardigan that ran over his slim form with black skinny jeans that hugged his hips and the white v neck shirt with dark blue vans for shoes, he truly was sex personified.

"Tsunade, Naruto met my nephew and the ringmaster of our grand show Sasuke Uchiha." Kakashi spoke.

"Well it's a pleasure to met you, Sasuke. I do hope that you will forgive us for keeping Kakashi away from you but I must warn you, he is allowed to walk, nothing more. His body is still recuperating and if possible you should allow him to sit for the majority of the next few days and get plenty of rest of course." Tsunade handed him a piece of paper and the boy grabbed it.

"I will see to it." Sasuke glanced up at Naruto and smirked.

Naruto look taken back by his reaction and blinked, cocking his head to the right he looked toward Kakashi only to see him eying Sasuke very carefully.

The two men turned toward the door and began to proceed exiting the room.

"Naruto" Naruto's ears perked up at the sound of his name. "You might want to reconsider wearing an audacious orange outfit,like your current attire, people might mistake you for one of the clowns and that would be an insult to our employees " Sasuke turned around and continued gliding toward the exit.

The click of the door resonated in the room, Naruto processed what Sasuke had just said "Wait did he just insult me! Ugh that that…that TEME!"

Wow that was a lot more than I thought I would type but tell me if you like this story, personally I enjoy it. Sorry if it got kind of sloppy toward the end, I was tired.

(1)- Circo di Foglie for those of you who don't know it means Circus of leaves in Italian (yeah I know rip off of Cirque de Soleil but I liked it) and I wanted the leaf part because leaf village etc.

Also excuse and messy, grammar and sentence structure, I'm trying to work on it but sometimes it's more difficult than it appears to be.

Chapter 2 is on the way! ~Until then I bid you farewell~
