TITLE – Goodnight Naruto

SUMMARY – Naruto is up for any job. Even if it means staying at the abandoned Uchiha mansion to clean every inch of the place. So what's the problem? It isn't like there's anyone inhabiting it, right? SasuNaru.

DISCLAIMER – All characters of Naruto belong to the genius Masashi-sensei

A/N: This is my very first SasuNaru story, or a story at all that's been uploaded on . That also reminds me, I'm just saying this 'cause some people don't know the difference between NaruSasu and SasuNaru. This is SASUnaru so that means SASUKE is the dominant one in the relationship and NARUTO is the submissive one in the relationship. NaruSasu is the other way 'round

I do hope you enjoy this sort of chapter or at least find it decent. I know that this one's crammed but that's just because I wanted to get the intro over and done with, sorry

PROLOGUE

"NARUTOOOO! RISE AND SHINE!" A white haired Jiraiya picked up a disturbed, groggy Naruto from his bed, and threw him onto the floor, making him land with a loud oof.

Before Naruto had time to untangle himself from his sheets, his ears had the misfortune to be hit by another barrage of yells from his grandfather.

"NO TIME TO BE DAWDLING NARUTO! YOU NEED TO FIND YOURSELF A JOB SO I CAN STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOU AND GO BACK TO MY RESEARCH!"

"Ugh… Shut up pervy-sage…" Naruto rubbed the saw spot on the back of his head. Absolutely no one would want to wake up to this bullshit in the morning. No one. Especially at –

What time?

The blond struggled to turn his head to look at his digital clock. It read 6 o'clock.

6 O' fucking clock.

No wonder it was still dark! Well, except for the fact that it was the middle of December so even at a later time it would still be dark, it was Saturday. He could've sleeping right now. He could've been snuggling in his warm blankets and his luscious, fluffy pillow.

Nevertheless, this sadist had to wake him up so viciously. He hadn't a clue how that stupid old man had been able pick him up in the first place. How old was he? 90? Well, all he knew was that he was ancient, and that no man his age should've been able to do that. Whatever. He had better things to sulk about than his grandfather's strength. Like his interrupted dream about Sakura-Chan.

'It was heaven! Sakura-Chan gave me a bottomless bowl of ramen for Christmas! I spent hours eating! And just when I was going to kiss her, I was thrown to the floor!"

As Naruto thought about this, Jiraiya had already dragged him out into his small kitchen, shoved him onto the chair, and smacked a newspaper in his face.

"Read it, brat. There are some jobs in there, I think." The longhaired man walked into the also small living room and threw himself on the couch.

"And while you're doing that, I have some writing to complete."

"Tch, you mean your porn, old man?" Naruto ripped the paper out of his face.

"I don't hear anyone complaining, brat. As far as I know, I'm a bestselling author." Jiraiya waved off his grandson's 'old man' comment and looked down at his pages.

Naruto sighed. Yesterday he was fired from his job at Konoha Fried Chicken. It wasn't even his fault though! One of his co-workers had yelled at a difficult customer at the cash register, and of course, the customer complained to the boss.

The co-worker had blonde hair too (not as bright though), and the customer had only said, "It was the man with blond hair." And typically, the boss automatically assumed that it was Naruto.

Moreover, when he was confronted, Naruto tried to defend himself, and said that it wasn't he; it was the other guy. But the dude had the gall to just sit there and put the blame on him!

In addition, just like that he was fired.

Tch.

He was gonna quit it anyway.

It wasn't like he was paid good money in the first place.

Ah, who was he kidding?

He needed any money he could get.

Naruto and parents used to live in a big house on the borders of Konoha. One of the maids had been smoking inside the building before going outside. Without noticing, sparks from the cigarette had landed on the carpet, and set it alight. This was when everyone was sleeping, so when they had been alarmed about the fire, it had already spread through most of the house.

Naruto was saved, because his room had been next to a balcony, though unfortunately his parents were the ones who had saved him. One trying to keep away the fire and the other cushioning his fall.

That was 8 years ago, and he had been staying with his parents' good friend Iruka ever since. Who was on a vacation right now.

The Uzumaki fortune was to be inherited to him, but it could only be gained when he was 18.

He was 16.

But he didn't want to spend anything that wasn't earned by himself anyway.

He couldn't afford to go to college. He could barely afford to pay the bills, even when he had moved into a small, one bedroom apartment. He could rarely find a job with his lack of college education that had a decent pay.

Naruto ran a hand through his hair with an exasperated sigh.

There were only a few jobs in here as far as he could see.

EMPLOYMENT: Male/Female Stripper
LOCATION: Sleazy Treats Club
PAY: $10 per hour (Extra from tips)
WORK HOURS: 5-7 days a week, 5 hours
DURATION: Permanent (Night time)

Hell fucking no. The pay was better than his usual but he still had some of his pride left.

EMPLOYMENT: Cashier
LOCATION: Epic Konoha Convenience Store
PAY: $2 per hour
WORK HOURS: 7 days a week, 12 hours (Night shift)
DURATION: Permanent (Night time)

Nope. The pay was absolutely not enough for what it's worth. It wouldn't even be able to pay his weekly rent!
Naruto decided that if the next one wouldn't be decent, then he'd go out to find one somewhere.

EMPLOYMENT: Cleaner
LOCATION: Uchiha Mansion
PAY: $1500 per day
WORK HOURS: 7 days a week, 24 hours
DURATION: Temporary – 1 month

The blond boy's eyes bulged out of his head. That was an incredible amount of money! He would finally be able to buy all the ramen he wanted, go to college so he could get a good job for when the month was over and ask Sakura-Chan out on a date.

'I guess it's true then. Third really is the charm!'

With a grin, Naruto turned to Jiraiya to tell him about the good news, only to find him snoring on the couch.

He shrugged, not really caring cause' he was so excited and quickly walked into the bathroom to freshen up.

After showering, brushing his teeth, washing his face, tying to tame his rebellious sunshine hair and all that crap, the boy left with his newspaper and CV without a word.

'I can tell pervy-sage about my job after the interview, if I can even get one that is. I won't be surprised if it's already been taken. I mean, who wouldn't want it? It has a ridiculous amount of money being paid and hardly any educational skills are needed!

I'll just have to prove that I have the sufficient skills for cleaning. If I remember correctly, I've done lots of work at restaurants as a dish cleaner in the kitchens and as a waiter.
I've got just enough experience for this!'

Blue eyes scanned the crumpled newspaper in his hand. He had only just realized that he walked off without knowing where to go!

When Naruto's eyes landed on the contact details, his grin widened and read aloud to himself.

"Job interviews are drop-in anytime between 7:30AM – 6:00PM at Hokage Estate Agency, address is located at the bottom of the column."

Naruto really couldn't believe his luck. He could get an interview on the same day! Although he wondered why it wasn't scheduled since there would probably be a huge queue for the amazing opportunity.

It didn't really matter though. All Naruto needed was eight cups of takeaway ramen and he could wait just long enough. If five minutes counted as enough times that is.

Also, Hokage Estate Agency was only ten minutes away, so he could -

BEEEEEEEEEEP!

"OH, SHIT!" Naruto sprinted out of the way before the huge truck ran him over, screaming rather girlishly.

Panting slightly, Naruto regained his composure, feeling quite stupid. He looked around his surroundings to see if anyone had seen the incident. Strangely enough, the only things accompanying the streets were the occasional cars passing by.

While Naruto was thinking about this, he had already begun walking. He could see the company building right there.

He was getting closer to it.

Okay now he was in front of it.

Naruto took in a big breath.

He couldn't afford to mess this up.

The people in this building could change his life.

This was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Naruto once again sucked in a deep breath, put on a determined face and stomped into the building of his attention.

The first thing Naruto saw was a cute, brown-haired secretary woman – at the um, secretary desk thing.

"Hello there! Welcome to the Hokage Estate Agency. How may I help?"

"Oh, hello, uh -"

The blond looked down at the ladies nametag. "- Shizune. I've come for an interview for the job as a cleaner at the Uchiha mansion Do you know who I'm supposed to see for this?"

"…" The woman visibly stiffened.

And paled.

And quivered.

Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"Wh-what? Oh, please excuse me. J-just follow me, okay?" The lady stuttered and practically jumped off her computer chair thing.

Naruto nodded and followed her, bemusedly wondering what was up with her demeanour.

After walking through a range of corridors and hallways – wait, aren't they the same thing? Well anyway, they reached a door that had a gold plaque that read, 'Tsunade Sannin'.

'That must be the person who's going to interview me.'

Naruto turned his head to see any other fellow human being. Surprisingly it was quite very much person-less. Guess it's only he who'd go for a job interview this early on a Saturday.

Naruto turned back to the secretary.

"I really never expected someone like you to apply for this type of job."

Naruto glanced up at Shizune curiously. "Why?"

The brunette turned away from Naruto slightly to hide her blush. "Well y-you know… you just look like the-hot-surfer-boy-type-with-the-bright-blond-hair-blue-eyes-and-tan-skin!"

Naruto once again raised an eyebrow at the woman. What hell was up with woman and their colour changing? She rather reminded of that girl, Hinata, who always started stuttering and turning red whenever she saw him. Seriously, how do they do that?

Naruto decided that that was what females did, because females are weird.

"S-sorry, please forget that I said that,"

"Um… Okay…"

Shizune knocked on the door and waited for an answer. A slurred, "Come in" was heard from the other side, and the door was opened and Naruto was let in.

The blond waved a quick thanks to Shizune before she scurried out of the room, slamming the door shut behind her.

Naruto span around to see a middle-aged blond woman who looked like she'd been using many of those anti-aging cosmetics.

He assumed that she was a bit tipsy, so he decided to be the first to introduce himself. "Hi, I'm Uzumaki Naruto and I'd like to apply for the job at the Uchiha mansion."

The teen put a dazzling smile on his face to add effect. He needed to make a good first impression to this old hag, right? Though that probably wouldn't be too hard anyway since it was obvious that she'd been drinking.

"Kid, you've got the job."

Naruto's eyes widened a little, taken aback. Okay, so he thought that it wouldn't be too hard, but he didn't think he'd get it just like that! He hadn't even told her why he was able for the job, or how old he was and all that necessary shit! "Excuse me?"

Tsunade chugged down another bottle of what looked like sake, and then let out a wheezy breath that made Naruto wince.

"You're the only person who's been interested in this job for about 3 months. And I'm getting pretty desperate so right now I don't care who you are, what your talents are or why you're here."

Naruto looked at her, confused. Why was he the only person to want this job in 3 months? People had to be insane if they wouldn't want a high paying job with minimum sacrifices. What the hell?

"What? Why wouldn't anyone want this job? It pays a ridiculous amount of money every day! It would turn people rich!"

Now it was Tsunade who was looking at him confused. Then some realization dawned on her face, and then she looked irritated. She let out a frustrated sigh and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Look kid, have you even heard about the Uchiha mansion?"

"Yeah, of course I have. In the job description!"

Tsunade seemed to be displeased with his answer. "Sit the fuck down."

Naruto did just that.

"I meant, that have you heard about what happened at the Uchiha mansion, you idiot?!"

"No, I ha – wait – don't call me an idiot! At least I'm not some old hag trying to pose as pretty lady!"

"Shut up a listen you brat," Tsunade hissed. "The Uchiha's were an extremely rich family, famous for their ancestor's abilities at martial arts.

8 years ago a man, named Itachi Uchiha who was a business prodigy killed off his entire family because he felt they were putting too much pressure on him, and then hung himself.

People believe that the mansion is haunted their spirits…"

That's when Naruto cracked up laughing. He wasn't laughing about the massacre. He thought that was tragic. Instead he was laughing about the 'people believed that the house is haunted' thing. It wasn't long before he was grabbing his sides from the cramps he was getting while at the same time trying to wipe away the tears that were streaming down his face.


Tsunade stared at the idiot who was now rolling all over her floor, deciding whether she should beat the crap out of him to get him to shut up, or walk out of the room. She settled with a face palm, and another chug of sake.

After approximately five long minutes, the boy managed to restrain himself when he remembered that he also needed oxygen to stay alive, and climb back onto the chair.

"Are you done yet?"

"…Yeah"

"Alright, where was I? So yeah, you seem to be confident in taking it, and less likely to be running out of the place calling "mommy!" after 5 minutes, so you've got the job."

Naruto smile dropped in slight confusion. "Hold on, if you're so desperate for it to be done, then why don't you just do it yourself? You don't really believe in that ghost crap, do you?"

Tsunade frown went deeper. "I'm busy, so I don't have the time for it. And what do you mean by 'that ghost crap'? There's proof! People have gone missing after they entered that house you know. Why do think I'm offering so much money?"

"..."

The hazel-eyed woman looked unimpressed as she crossed her arms over her large chest. "Look, I don't have time to argue you with you, brat. It's not my problem whether you believe in spirits or not. Just whether you want the position."

Naruto leaned back on his chair and gave her a grin "Hell Yeah! Tell me what you need me to do!"

For some reason, Tsunade found herself pulling her lips into a smile as well. That boys smile was contagious, it seemed.

"Okay, well you will stay at the Uchiha mansion for one month; which you know. A man here who is our cleaner will carry all cleaning equipment that you need to the main living room in there. Also, you will be required to replace the wallpaper – it will up your pay another $500 a day, alright?

You will bring your own toiletries, clothing, or whatever to the mansion. There is at least one decent bedroom in there that has a bed, but I highly suggest you bring your own pillows, bed sheets, duvets, duvet covers and stuff like that unless you want spiders and dust all over you.

I only managed to get my secretary – Shizune – to stay in there long enough to clean the bathroom, which is on the bottom floor. The bottom floor is the only place where the plumbing works and the kitchen is the only room that has access to electricity – that reminds me, you also need to buy your own food, understand?"

Naruto stared at Tsunade blankly, processing the information before he nodded.

"Good. I will send someone to your address tomorrow night at 7:00 to pick you up, once you've signed this application." Tsunade handed the blond a sheet of paper full of text.

Naruto quickly scanned his eyes over the application before using the pen provided to write in the necessary information about himself and his signature, then sliding it back to the woman.

"Okay, any questions – no? Get out of my office."

The teen got out of his chair and left the room muttering something with the words 'stupid hag' and 'giant boobs'.


That night Naruto had skipped around the house, yelling to Jiraiya how he had his job and how there was an old hag who was his boss and how he was going to be rich and how he could impress Sakura-Chan because he then could afford to go to college.

Jiraiya sat back on the sofa with a content smile. Things were finally going well for Naruto, and he could only hope it would stay that way.


The blond teen woke up early in the morning – about 6:30AM – eager to get to work. Only then to realise that it started at 7:00PM.

Instantly he felt deflated, and it didn't help at all when he also realised that it was Sunday and could have slept in.

However, not one to fall back asleep after gotten up, he carried on with his morning rituals, ready to take on the day,


It was 6:30PM and Naruto could barely keep himself from jumping excitedly. With nothing else to do left, he double-checked that he had packed everything on his list.

Naruto looked down proudly at the three large stuffed suitcases that he had barely managed to fit everything in, and wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. He looked at his watch, slightly dismayed that it read 7:05.

Why weren't they here yet?

Yeah, so he should cut them some slack. It had only been five minutes past the expected time. But he was soooooooo excited! He couldn't wait any longer!

Naruto walked into the bathroom and to the sink where the mirror cabinet was to check up on his appearance. For some reason he wanted to make a good impression on the guy who was picking him up, though that was sort of uncharacteristic of him. He was probably gonna get dirty anyway.


It was safe to say that he was sexy. And anyone who was asked would agree without a second thought. In fact, 'sexy' was an understatement.

Naruto had those one of a kind oceanic blue eyes that were open and expressive all the time, soft unruly golden locks that was untameable to anything and anyone, and a natural bronze tan coating his body. Just by looking at him, anyone would be reminded of a beautiful tropical beach.

He also had a desirable body. He had muscles, but he was lean at the same time, which was a desirable form to most of the citizens of Konoha.

However, although Naruto thought himself that he was good-looking, he was obvious to the girls or guys that had taken a liking to him; he only had eyes for Sakura-Chan. Well, that's what he thought at least. She was the only girl he'd had a crush on, really.

Naruto turned around in response to the knocking on his door. He grinned, getting that giddy feeling again. They were finally here! The teen almost tripped over one of his suitcases on his way to the door and decided it wasn't a good idea to skip anymore.

He yanked open the door with a shrill, "Hello?!"

Naruto was slightly surprised to see a man with a medical mask on his face, and an eye patch. He had silver hair, but strangely enough, it looked natural on him. It really gave off that eccentric look.

"Sorry I'm late. I got lost on the path of life." The man closed his eyes; it was probably to show that he was smiling. Naruto noticed that even though the man's face was almost completely covered, he could tell that the he was handsome.

The blond waved off the blatant lie. "Nah, it's okay. I'm just glad that you're here now."

"Alright, then I'm Kakashi. Let's get this luggage in the van, shall we?"


A/N Okay, I'm sorry it was so short, but I promise I will make the next chapter twice as long! However, please please PLEASE review! It gives me the motivation to write with as much quality as it is fast!

NEXT CHAPTER:

- Naruto enters the Uchiha mansion knowing little of the watchful predator... (lol that sounded stalkerish)
