A private school, hidden from the outside world by iron gates and ivy-covered walls. But it's always there.
Always hiding its secrets.

Konoha Boarding School boards and educates over 3,000 students per year, grades 9-12, with numerous alumni working in careers beneficial to the nation and to themselves.
Located at the edge of the beautiful city of Konoha, students enrolled are immersed in a program that places high emphasis on core subjects, such as math, the sciences, history, and language, as well as the different arts, such as drama, fine art, and computer science. With a teacher/student ratio of 1:19, student's educational needs are taken care of, with progress reports sent home every other month.
Students, at the end of each day, are free to return to their dormitories, engage in some of many extracurricular activities (such as chess club or the debate team) or explore the large campus until curfew. (9:00 for genin, 10:00 for chunin, 10:30 for jonin and 11:00 for ANBU) Some popular spots include the cherry blossom trees in the southern courtyard or the school's library.
Discipline is carried out swiftly. There are no excuses for disruptive behavior. Punishments range from a one-hour detention to being expelled and sent home. Edit as of 12/2/10: Recently, teachers have asked for any info regarding the gym clothes being stolen and put on the front lawn while students are changing please be turned into the office.
We offer a variety of extracurricular activities, educational and not. For a complete list, please contact Kamizuki Imuzo and Hagane Kotetsu in the main office. Edit as of 12/2/97: Shizune has requested that those interested in extracurricular activities please report to her instead, as the headmistress needs Imuzo and Kotetsu to help her around the office. Edit as of 3/26/98: Info about extracurricular activities will once again be obtained from Imuzo and Kotetsu after the headmistress got tired of them complaining about being 'gophers'.
As for sports, the school will allow exceptions, such as skipping class for those playing on sports teams in order to help them get to practice. Our current teams involve football, baseball, soccer, basketball, volleyball and golf. Go Foxes! Tryouts are announced at the beginning of the year, and the mascot is picked at the first pep rally. Edit as of 6/5/02: Due to the money the broken windows have cost us, we're sorry to announce that golf will no longer be played at Konoha Boarding School. We don't care if it was an accident, Nawaki, take a hint from your sister and get a better aim.
Trips into Konoha are only obtained with permission from teachers and students are required to be back by 9:00 P.M. for curfew. Many students enjoy touring the many shops there or going to the movie theatre featured in the town, with special viewings for students of the school. Freshmen are not allowed to leave campus at all, unless for a field trip.
Dorms are co-ed, however, due to recent incidents that have occurred, rooms are no longer co-ed. On the main floor of the dorm is the common room, where students are encouraged to spend their free time. Edit as of 8/26/03: We ask that students please stop throwing their shoes at the ceiling to leave footprints, as it is very difficult to clean off.
The enrollment fee can be obtained by calling the front office at (555)-555-5555. However, due to generous donations from the Uchiha family and the Hyuuga family, we are able to provide scholarships for gifted students in need of financial help. Please contact the front office for more info.
Any other information can be obtained at the front office.
"My four years at Konoha Boarding School were the best of my life! I made quality friends and am now able to have more opportunities in life because of the education I received there! I'm proud to be a part of the school's alumni! Okay Tsunade, I said it, hand over the twenty bucks."
Jiraiya, author of the popular series Icha Icha Paradise
Here Naruto sighed and refolded the brochure back up. Of course Jiraiya was paid to say that. Knowing the man as long as he did, he wasn't surprised.
Jiraiya let out a sheepish grin. "That's an old brochure, printed up by Kotetsu. Needless to say, he missed the many mistakes. But the staff is still there, and everything else is still valid. Plus, me being a highly respected alumnus will get you in automatically."
Naruto fingered the tan-colored brochure lightly, thinking it over in his head. A boarding school, huh? "What kind of 'quality friends' did you make if you knew Orochimaru?"
Jiraiya's eye twitched in a way that Naruto knew meant he had hit a nerve. "I can always send you to a military school instead."
Why did my father make a perverted novelist my guardian? Naruto irritably thought not for the first time in his fourteen years. But he knew that despite the man's quirks, Jiraiya was simply looking out for him. Which made the fact that he was so quick to suggest a boarding school almost sting.
The blond looked at the picture of the campus on the front of the pamphlet. "Well...I guess I could try it."
Jiraiya's annoyed look quickly changed into a smile. "That's the spirit! Hey, maybe you'll turn out famous like me!"
This caused Naruto to look up at his guardian, his face surprised. "Famous?"
"Oh yeah!" Jiraiya gestured to the bookshelf where he kept his dirty books. "That school opens all kinds of door for you! When you're looking for a job, mention you went to Konoha Boarding School, and bam!" Here he pounded on his hardwood desk where Naruto was sitting at, making the boy jump. "You're in. Many legendary figures attended that school. I did, Tsunade, why, even your own father, the Yondaime Hokage-"
"Dad?" Naruto stood up, and the chair he had been sitting in scratched against the polished wood floors, making Jiraiya wince. "My father went there?"
Jiraiya raised his hands in front of him, as if to say, 'Slow down'. But he was smiling at the boy's reaction as he answered. "Yes, your father. If you went there, I'd say you'd find many traces of both your father and your mother there. Maybe even follow in their footste-"
By then, his adopted grandson had already picked up the phone and was dialing the number on the brochure. Jiraiya chuckled. "Not so fast." He gently pried the phone from Naruto's hands.
"Aw, Pervy Sage!"
"I'll make sure you get in. Why don't you go work on your Rasengan?" Jiraiya said, ignoring the nickname.
Naruto's disappointed face quickly turned into a grin as he thought of the play he had been working on, the one he had been perfecting from his father. "Okay! But after that, can we please go get some ramen? I'm starving!"
Jiraiya nodded, and the blond sped out the door, leaving a dust trail in his path.
The man chuckled, remembering how excited Minato had been to attend that school. As he picked up the phone and dialed his old friend, however, he couldn't help but wince as he remembered some of the secrets that he had found, that hid in the walls of the school, ones he hoped Naruto and his friends would never find. But it's a chance he must take.
As he glanced out from the window, where he saw Naruto practicing by himself, always working so hard, he let a smile cross his face as the receiver in his ear put him on hold.
So it begins.
Okay, so that's just the prologue. I'm going to need about three or four OC characters. Please fill out the form below and either leave a review or PM me. I'm sorry, but I can only choose three or four, and I will do it based on description and how the OC will fit into the story. If your OC is like a vampire slayer/student, I'm sorry; there is no way in hell I'm choosing it. Please be descriptive, as it will help me choose better. The canon pairings will be based on which OC's take which characters. No more than one per person.
I have seen quite a few of these and want to try my hand at it. If the brochure was long, it was because I had a lot of fun with it, sorry. I love details like that. :P
Anyways, here's the form. I do not accept: Half completed forms, Mary-Sues or characters that are pretty much canon characters with a different name, either from Naruto or other fics. And please, please, please, use correct grammar and spelling in your forms. I don't mind a mistake here and there, but believe me, as a fanfiction reader for quite a while, I am getting sick of forms that are misspelled and no capitalization. It makes them so hard to read.
I'm picky for a reason, guys. I want to make this a good story, and I can't do that if I have half-baked characters. I want to be sure to write your characters well.
Here's the form.

Sexual Orientation (I am not homophobic, so being gay is fine.):
Looking for (friendship, relationship):

Anything significant that happens over the course of the story (may be omitted if doesn't fit in with plot):
Other:
I will be choosing OC's after New Years. Please be detailed, as it will help further your OC's chances of being picked. Also, do not put things like, "Ino/Sakura/Karin is a total bitch to her, and she's always picked on by their clique." That is a highly overused cliché that will not appear.
It is fine to put siblings of canon characters. You may omit any parts that do not apply to your character. If there are not enough characters in the review box, feel free to take out my parenthesized tips.
Wow, this was long…sorry.
Please apply, and I will post the first chapter sometime in January.
