Trying a Naruto x Pakura Story. I didn't see much of her and thought she was an intriguing character. I'm not sure about the age of Pakura so since this is my story, lets assume Pakura is 18, and Naruto is 14.

Definitely Different Here

It was evening in Konoha, the evening after Naruto had defeated Mizuki, and two men were gathering at Ichiraku's ramen stand. On the left sat a blonde-haired kid wearing a bright orange jumpsuit. On his face, you could observe three whisker-marks on each of his cheeks. Over his forehead stood his brand-new forehead protector given to him the day before. His sky blue eyes stood out compared to the orange and red of the sunset over him. His name: Naruto Uzumaki.

On the opposite side sat a much taller man, wearing a green Chunin vest. His brown hair was tied into a spiky ponytail that took the attention away from the scar across his face. He was Iruka Umino, a teacher at the Ninja Academy in Konoha, who was currently repenting for his past ignorance of his boisterous student, Naruto, by spending time with his ramen-loving student.

"Iruka-sensei, I'll be the best Hokage ever, believe it!" Naruto said, amidst stuffing his face with his sixth bowl of miso ramen.

"I'm sure you will become Hokage eventually Naruto." Seeing Naruto's confused face Iruka sighed and explained "Eventually means some day Naruto"

"Just, remember, while being Hokage is a great goal, make sure you're doing it for the right reasons." Iruka stated, "You don't have to know now, just think about it why don't you?" Iruka said as he payed for their meals. Pulling out his wallet, he sighed, 'Damn that boy sure does eat a lot'

"See you around Naruto I've got to get to work on my lesson plan for tomorrow" Iruka said as he left the ramen stand to return home.

"Cya around Iruka-sensei!" Naruto yelled

Naruto began to ponder on his way home to his apartment, 'What are my reasons for becoming Hokage? To be recognized….? No…. hmmm? To take the old man's hat? No….'

"I'm not exactly sure what my reasons for becoming Hokage are" Naruto grumbled as he opened the door to his apartment. "Bahh! It doesn't matter, like Iruka-sensei said, I'll become Hokage evventau… eventl-ey… aghhhh! Some day!

Throwing his night cap, and pajamas, on Naruto wandered around his small apartment given to him by the Hokage. His apartment consisted of the basic amenities: a stove, fridge, table, bed, shower, all of lower quality due to his tenant's tax, issued by local storeowners; of which he still remained oblivious to. On his window sill stood a variety of plants he'd acquired from various stores including the Yamanaka family shop.

Naruto proceeded with his nightly routine: watering his plants, taking a shower, and performing a light workout of pushups and sit-ups. This workout routine was one of the few things he'd picked up from the teachers at the Academy.

"I wonder who my Jounin-sensei will be! I bet he'll teach me some amazing Jutsu, believe it!" Naruto shouted as he ran towards the academy the following morning. Ignoring the hatred on the faces of the villagers as he passed, Naruto ran into the academy to sit in his usual seat: on the edge, near the middle walkway, with Shikamaru on his right, and Choji to the right of Shikamaru.

Shikamaru wore a fishnet shirt with a grey jacket on top of it, around his left arm his forehead protector was tied. On his face, he wore a consistently non-caring face towards everyone or thing around him. He had black hair tied into a spiky ponytail.

"Naruto, team assignments are for graduates onl-…" Shikamaru grumbled as he raised his head from its previous spot laying on the desk. "It's too troublesome to explain just don't disturb my sleeping" Shikamaru sighed as his head returned to his previous spot.

"It's great to see you too Shikamaru!" Naruto yelled, "I had an, uhh, alternate exam! I passed too, though, see?!" Naruto said, pointing at his headband.

Choji had a round-build with swirl markings on both of his cheeks. He wore a light green shirt plastered with the kanji for food. Around his neck he wore a long-white scarf. He had brown hair that stuck upwards, with his forehead protector around his forehead.

"Great job Naruto" Choji said before he returned to munching on his chips.

A shout from the entrance alerted the boys to the presences of their fellow classmates: Sasuke Uchicha, and his fangirls.

Sasuke proceeded to walk down to his seat

"Sasukeeeee-kun, sit with me!" Sakura shouted running after the black-haired boy.

"Shut up forehead! Sasuke-kun only sits with the most beautiful girls!" Ino shouted running into the classroom. Her blonde hair splaying out in front of her once she stopped, due to the speed she ran chasing after the black-haired boy.

"Quiet! Take a seat Sakura and Ino! Class, today is the day of your genin team assignments! Iruka yelled as he walked into the classroom

"Pay attention and I will call out your teammates and your Jounin-sensei. After you find out your team wait with your teammates and your sensei will come pick you up for introductions." Iruka stated

'As long as I don't have Sasuke-teme on my team, I'll be fine' Naruto thought as he proceeded to lay his head down, similarly to Shikamaru. 'I'm sure it's fine if I take a nap, my teammates will definitely alert me to who they're after I wake up, I'm sure.' Naruto thought as he fell asleep and entered the dream world.

'Is that the old man at Ichiraku's?' Naruto thought during his walk to his favorite ramen stand in Konoha. 'I wonder if they have a special kind of Hokage ramen. If I was Hokage I'd definitely have a Hokage ramen, it'd be double the size of my regular! If I follow him maybe I can add another ramen to what I know of the Ichiraku's secret menu.'

"Yes, that's a great idea, believe it!" Naruto quietly shouted as he crouched looking for an adequate hiding spot to observe the old man. Hiding in the bushes directly across from Ichiraku's he awaited to hear about this secret menu addition.

"I'll have the usual" Hiruzen told Ayame as she took his order.

"One usual coming right up, Hokage-sama" Ayame said cheerfully.

Awaiting to hear the name of the old man's "usual" Naruto smelled a new aroma. This smell lifted Ichiraku's from making ramen for the gods, to making ramen an actual deity.

'Please ramen god, allow me the name of this special order; I will order it every day for the rest of my life believe it!'

Teuchi slowly walked over, a bowl of steaming ramen in his hands, "Here's your order of Hok-…"

"…Dobe."

'Whaaaa…' Naruto thought awakening from his dream

"Dobe!" Sasuke yelled

"…. Ramen?" Naruto mumbled as he lifted his head and noticed Sasuke standing over him, "What's up teme?" He sighed as he rubbed the sleepiness out of his eyes.

"Hn. We're teammates." Sasuke said as he walked away.

"Whaaaa?! Me and the teme are going to be teammates!" Naruto shouted. "Bahh I'll tell old-man Hokage, he'll definitely change the teams for me! No way will I be on a team with the teme." Naruto said as he ran out of the classroom. He failed to notice his crush, Sakura, was also waiting behind for their new sensei, and that she would also be on their team.

"Old-man! I've got a problem!" Naruto yelled, bursting into the Hokage's office.

Sitting at his desk was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the man known as the "God of Shinobi", former teacher of the Sannin, and the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha. He wore his Hokage outfit: red Hokage robes, with the red Hokage hat.

"Hmm? What's your problem Naruto?" Hiruzen asked cautiously

"It's Sasuke-teme! He's on my genin team! Pleeeeaaaasssseee, old man, can you place me on a different squad?!" Naruto begged

Hiruzen sighed, 'I thought he'd be happy he was placed on the same team as his crush.'

"Naruto I can't switch the genin team assignments" Hiruzen said, "These teams are meant to be balanced out, so that the dead-last is paired with the top student and another average student. This way your team has a greater chance for success in the field"

"Noooooooooooo" Naruto moaned, "I can't be on the same team as the teme!" Naruto yelled, running out of the Hokage's offices. 'I can't believe the old man wouldn't change my team!' Naruto thought as he ran through the streets of Konoha.

"Watch out boy!" a street vendor yelled at him

"Sorry!" Naruto yelled, continuing his sprint.

Come afternoon, Naruto had arrived to his favorite spot, save Ichiraku's, in all of Konoha: the Hokage monuments. It had started raining fifteen minutes prior to his arrival at the Hokage monuments. Going towards his favorite thinking spot: the top of the Yondaime's monument. On his way to sit down Naruto noticed an orange-haired woman with a Suna forehead-protector there as well.

Coming closer, Naruto got a better look at the woman across from him. She wore a sleeveless, backless, top, with two black straps extending across her back that showed that showed off her slim figure. She wore purple sleeves across her arms, and purple shorts, that showed off her long tanned legs. Bandages surrounded her ankles, and her midsection, and on her feet, she wore black sandals. She had green hair tied into a bun, with bright orange tips- Naruto's favorite color. All-in-all she was one of the most beautiful women that Naruto had ever seen.

The woman sighed, "I just wanted to better the alliance between Konoha and Suna, but they refused to allow us any of the missions that the Wind Daimyo is giving them."

"Hello mi-"The woman suddenly appeared behind him, with a kunai placed across his throat.

"Who're you?! And what're you doing here?!" She yelled in his ear.

"Eh? I'm Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage, believe it!" Naruto exclaimed, "And as for why I'm here, this is where I usually go to relax. Bear witness to the greatest spot in all of Konoha!" He shouted, waving his arms around for emphasis, despite being held by the woman. "At least, the greatest spot when it's not raining, and you aren't attacked by a stranger" he mumbled out.

"Oh, sorry." She said, 'Just an academy student', "Don't worry I was just leaving." she said.

"Ok! Bye miss…" Naruto said.

"Pakura" She said while leaving the area.

"Bye Pakura!" Naruto exclaimed. 'She was more beautiful than Sakura…No! Bad thoughts! Sakura is definitely prettier. Pakura doesn't have pink hair, and she attacked me! Yea Sakura is definitely more beautiful than her' Naruto thought as he laid down on top of the Yondaime's statue. 'I should probably go see my team…nah. It's too troublesome' Naruto thought as he lied down to sleep- his tenant giving him warmth despite the rain.

Somewhere a student with black pineapple hair sneezed, 'Troublesome' he thought.
