Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto in any way.

Naruto yawned as he awoke from his cheap bed in Konoha. The bright sun shone in through his window, attaching to naruto and temporarily blinding him. "Damn that window." Naruto mumbled as he pulled the sheets over him. The sun wasn't the only thing that wanted him awake, as he alarm clock rang in his ear, forcing naruto to exit his bed and turn the angry clock off. Naruto sleepily trudged to the bathroom, brushing his teeth and attempting to tame his wild hair, but to no avail. He grabbed a pack of ramen and quickly cooked it. He scarfed it down, and although very unsatisfied, he ran out of the door, heading in the direction of school.

Naruto nearly broke down the door, just wanting to sleep through the day and go back home. "You're late Naruto." Iruka sighed. "You know what that means." Naruto groaned and recited what he has heard so many times. "Clean all the desks in the room." Naruto flopped into his seat and tried his hardest to fight the sleep attacking his eyes. As he decided to surrender to sleep, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him to his left. He returned the person's gaze and found himself looking at clear lavender eyes. The person they belonged to was Hinata. Hinata blushed madly and glued her eyes to the ground. Naruto raised an eyebrow at her, but decided not to over think it. "Today class, we are going to be doing an outdoor activity." Iruka declared. Everyone cheered. "You guys, are going to start sparring."

Sasuke smirked at the idea of being able to beat up Naruto without getting punished. Naruto, sound asleep woke up to the class leaving the classroom. He panicked, jumped out of his seat, and followed the kids out of class. "So, what are we doing?" Naruto asked the animal trainer. "Don't you ever listen?" Kiba growled. "Just tell me what the hell we're doing." Naruto yawned. "We're going to spar." Kiba spat out. Naruto's head filled with all the opportunities that were being thrown at him. He could finally beat the crap out of all the people he hates and not get in trouble for it! Naruto had a stupid grin on his face all the way to the field that Iruka brought them to. "Today you will only be using taijutsu."Iruka explained. We can't have people dying today." Sasuke's looked a bit saddened, striking fear in the students. "Everyone pick a sparring partner." Iruka ordered.

Naruto watched as the students walked over to each other. Sasuke made his way to Naruto, but being as popular as he is, he was stopped by many kids who had grudges against him. Sasuke growled at the popularity stopping him from beating his rival. Naruto stood there, without a partner, as expected. He sighed and made his way back to the classroom, expecting this to happen. "Wait a minute!" Naruto heard a boy yell. He turned around to see a boy with combed back blonde hair, a dark green t-shirt, and white shorts. "Who are you?" Naruto asked. "Me? I'm Ace." Ace answered triumphantly. "You'll be my opponent." Naruto looked at Iruka. He shrugged. Naruto was suspicious, but decided to go for it. "Alright, I accept." Naruto decided. Ace smirked, and got into a fighting stance.

Ace ran at an unnatural speed, catching Naruto by surprise. Naruto barely blocking in time. Ace jumped back and kicked for Naruto's legs, tripping him. Naruto pushed against the ground and jumped back up. He spun with his legs extended, and smashed into Ace's guarding arms. Ace was launched backwards and slid along the ground. He jumped back up and propelled himself at Naruto. Naruto couldn't dodge, he was too fast. Ace bashed his head into Naruto's ribs.

Naruto flew back hundreds of feet before slamming into a tree. He lets out a loud cry of sheer pain. All eyes turn to him. Naruto, started to see blurry. Hr felt the strength leaving his body. "Naruto!" Naruto heard Iruka shout, before darkness fell over him.
