Naruto Uzumaki stared blankly outside the windows of the bus, new city, new school, hopefully new friends, and even a new guardian. His father and mother had died a month earlier and the poor orphaned blonde was sent to live with his god father Jiraiya, the famous author of the adult novel Icha Icha Paradise. The old man was sending him to the most prestigious all boys academy in Konoha, Konoha Academy. Being known for being such a womanizer he had to make himself appealing to the child services and decided to send his "son" to the school as a sign of being responsible. As the bus screeched to a halt the blonde grabbed his bag and got off heading for the subway, one thing about Konoha was that it was huge, and his god father being ever so nice, had left him with only the address and a map of the city to find the school on his own…. Real smart idea you old pervert, how the hell am I going to find that stupid school anyway? I don't know where anything in this city is! Naruto growled in the back of his mind. Luckily he had recognized the academy's uniforms on some of the other boys and he trailed along after them keeping a safe distance behind them. After fighting his way through the crowd he got on the subway and sat himself down and began to fiddle with the collar of his uniform. Damn thing was incredibly itchy and tight. Next thing Naruto knew was that someone was standing in front of him, looking up he saw another boy in the same uniform smiling gently at him. He was tall, with shiny black hair cut into a bowl cut style, thick eyebrows and shiny teeth.

"You must be a new student this year huh?" he asked, it was then Naruto took a closer look at his uniform and saw two small leaf symbol buttons on the right shoulder of his uniform. He was a second year, and his upperclassmen.

"Yeah, I am," Naruto replied scooting over a bit allowing the other boy to sit next to him. "My name's Naruto Uzumaki, what's yours?"

The raven haired boy sat next to him and said, "My name's Rock Lee, nice to meet you Naruto-san."

"Nice to meet you too Lee, hey I have a question what's the school like?" the blonde asked happy inside at the fact he just met his first friend.

"It's real nice, some of the teachers can be a bit..," Lee paused for a second as if searching for the appropriate word, "Eccentric but you get used to it. They pile on the homework, and not all of them are exactly friendly but all are helpful. The grounds are amazing, considering we're in the city and everything is big and all the buildings are spread out. It's like a college campus."

Lee stopped as he witnessed Naruto's overwhelmed expression and added quickly, "But don't worry, I'll show you around the place and tell you who you should avoid if you wanna stay out of trouble."

Naruto said thanks and both continued to talk for awhile until the subway stopped again to let more passengers on. When another boy with the school's uniform walked in Lee called him over. He was tall but seemed to be just an inch or two shorter than lee with light violet eyes, long brown hair which he had pulled back and tied at the very end. Naruto recognized him, he was Hinata's elder cousin Neji, he merely knew who he was because his father had been close friends with Hinata's dad his uncle and he had come once with her.

"Lee, your cheerful as always, good to see you again." The brown haired boy glanced at Naruto and the blonde said hello to which Neji replied, "Oh I remember you, and Hinata had quite a crush on you, still does, sorry about what happened to your parents…. But anyway that's not the point. So you're going to the same school as us, wonder how long you'll last…."

The last statement made Naruto burn with indignity, how dare he say something like that! The blonde bit back a sharp remark as Lee stated simply,

"Neji-san, don't be like that, you know it isn't that bad."

"True the school and the classes may not be, but the other students and the teachers are a different story. You'd be surprised at how many transfers are done in the first three weeks." Neji replied taking a seat across from the other two as the subway started up again.

"Yeah, well let's just see how scary this school of yours really is." Naruto remarked. The rest of the subway ride was spent in an awkward silence.

The trio had to get on one more bus before arriving at the school as they all climbed on Naruto noticed it was all mostly students on it. A few unlucky civilians were on as well trying to block out all the noise they were making. Old friends greeting on another and vise versa, some just being loud for the hell of it. It was a mix of freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. One freshman in particular caught Naruto's eye, it was his old childhood friend, Sasuke Uchiha, the raven haired boy was silent unaware of the blonde's presence, making his way to the back of the bus Neji and Lee took an open seat and sat down. Once back there Naruto waved his hand in front of the other's face making Sasuke jump and start to glare before realizing who it was.

"Naruto-san? Is that really you?" he asked.

Naruto rolled his eyes, "No I'm the tooth fairy, and of course it's me!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes back and moved over a bit to allow the blonde a place to sit next to him. The bus ride from then on out was spent as the two caught up on how the other was doing and things like that. All too soon the bus arrived at the academy and all the students got off. Naruto and Sasuke went their separate ways and Lee walked over to the blonde after telling Neji he's catch up with him later.

"Oi, Naruto-san!" Lee called out, "So, let's take a look at your schedule, see who you have first period."

"Okay, sure." Naruto pulled out his schedule from his pant's pocket and handed it over to Lee.

"Let's see, oh, you have Deidara-sensei for art in room 324, building 5," Lee stated "It's over this way come on I'll show you, you know you kind of lucked out. Deidara isn't exactly a nice teacher, but he's not the worst. He's mostly known for the fact that at the end of the year if you don't like the clay project you do, he gets a camera and he and all his students go out and blow them up. Quite fun to watch really."

Naruto quirked an eyebrow at this, his art teacher blew shit up for fun? Is that doesn't scream insanity he didn't know what did. All the same he answered,

"So he's a pyromaniac?"

"Basically… if you wanna put it that way."

Oh what joy, Naruto thought some crazy explosive loving man is teaching my first class of the day and I'm stuck with him for the whole year… he mentally scowled at the people who hired the teachers here, and if this guy wasn't the worst it only made the blonde wonder who else was freakier than him. Lee led him to the classroom and then said his goodbyes and headed for his own class. As Naruto glanced around the room it didn't seem too bad, plenty of tables and stools, art supplies such as paint, and paper, colored, pencils, and ink were in the appropriate places. Taking his seat next to a brown haired teen that looked about at least a year or two older than he was to wait for the teacher to come in. ten minutes went by, fifth teen minutes, no sign of the teacher eventually students started talking to one another and whispers spread throughout the classroom.

"Just where the heck is this Deidara-sensei?" the blonde muttered under his breath which earned a chuckle from the elder teen next to him.

"So, I take it you're a freshman and this is your first time dealing with Deidara-sensei huh?" he asked glancing over at the blonde.

"Yeah, so what?" Naruto replied.

"Nothing, nothing, it's just he always does this shows up fifth teen, twenty minutes late so that way he doesn't have to deal with all of us this early in the morning on the first day of school. He's not a morning person." The brunette explained popping his neck a bored expression on his face, "this is my third year having him for art, so yeah nothing he does is new to me…."

"Oh, thanks for the tip, by the way my name's Naruto Uzumaki what's yours?" Naruto asked realizing now that he didn't know the other male's name.

The brunette looked at the blonde and replied "Nice to meet ya shorty, name's Kankuro."

Naruto opened his mouth to ask more but the classroom door slammed open to reveal a very tired looking man. He had long blonde hair part of which was tied in a ponytail and covered half his face, blue eyes and pale looking skin. Naruto's jaw nearly dropped, this he looked more like a she than anything else, the look on his face made Kankuro smirk.

The man slowly made his way over to his desk a cup of piping hot coffee in one hand and sat down and took a small sip before actually taking a look at his class and just glared at them growling under his breath,

"Good morning you bunch of misfits, and before anybody opens their god damn mouth to ask me, I am a man and if you even so much as dare to call me a woman I will skin you alive and post it on fucking YouTube for all to see… understand, un?"

Students that were near his desk quietly scooted back away from him and nodded, trying to keep a safe distance away from him. Naruto on the other hand resisted the urge to laugh out loud at some of their expressions. Just then the bell rang and Deidara let out a sigh of relief, putting his head down on his desk he muttered,

"Before you walk out come up and grab some of these papers you'll need your parent and or guardian to sign and bring them back by Friday…."

And so Naruto did and quickly exited the room and headed for his next class, algebra I with Konan-sensei in room 506, building 3, having picked up a map of the school layout off of Deidara-sensei's desk and made his way over to the math room. Second period was scarier than first by the fact that Konan made it clear that she wasn't going to be soft and go easy on the students, in fact Naruto found a new respect for women in that short forty minutes. Third period he had health with Asuma-sensei, who ironically smoked…. Such a great role model… the blonde thought to himself. Fourth was biology with Zetsu-sensei who was strange just to look at, tall, yellow eyes, green hair and he ad permanently dyed his body half black and half white…. And he was schizophrenic, his "white" side was polite and his "black" side… scared some of the students for life, Naruto was mildly freaked. Considering who he was living with, Zetsu didn't seem like all that bad, much better than the perv of a god father he has. After fourth period he had the second lunch shift in which he saw Lee and Neji sitting at a table, the dark haired teen waved him over and as he sat down so did, and as the blonde did so Sasuke showed up and the blonde waved him over to sit with the group. The four of them sat together and as introductions went around and everyone got to know one another a dark haired man came up to them. He had the face of an angel, with long black hair tied into a ponytail, and dark deep eyes. Naruto felt his heart jump into his throat; he had never seen such a beautiful person in all his life. The others stared as well, except Sasuke who didn't seem to give a damn. The handsome man stopped at the head of the table and said with a voice as soft as silk,

"Sasuke how is your first day so far?"

"Its, fine Itachi, what do you want?" Sasuke said his voice so low it was almost a growl, his gaze a glare of anger.

"I was just asking, no need to get upset little brother…" the angel replied his voice still so dark and calm.

Naruto's eyes widened this was Sasuke's older brother? The elder's eyes met with Naruto's sapphire eyes, the blonde turned away a small blush forming on his cheeks.

Apparently satisfied with whatever his reason for coming Itachi left and the whole table seemed able to breathe normally. Neji and Lee immediately began to ask Sasuke about Itachi and Naruto was just trying to get his nerves under control. Sasuke looked at him a bit of worry in his dark eyes; both knew that in that moment everything would change.

After lunch Naruto took out his schedule to see who he had next, and his heart rate jumped at who he saw he had next, Itachi Uchiha, English I room 310 building 3.
