Uchiha Sasuke's Point Of View

"Hey Sasuke, I heard we have a new teacher for this year." Suigetsu told me, though I didn't much care.

I let out a grunt, laying my him on my hand and looked out the window.

It was a warm spring day, the first day back at school. My final year, to be exact.

And boy am I relieved of that relieved. I had enough of school, though if I wanted to get anywhere I'd have to go to uni. It's just that school was so loud.

"Oi, Sasuke, what d'ya think the teacher will be like?" Jugo, turned to look over at me.

Like every year since starting at Akatsuki Senior High, Jugo always couldn't properly fit the uniform.

He was over weight just large and slightly masculine. Always pushing others away, though it seemed life itself seemed to teem around him.

"I wouldn't know, I just hope he's not as idiotic as Tobi." I muttered.

"Sasuke, this is our final year together, better to make the most of it." Karin tried to flirt, though getting distracted by Suigetsu who was now pretending to vomit, as if Karin's flirting was something that could make his stomach flip.

I heard a yelp as Karin tried to beat up Suigetsu, but the room went silent as someone stepped in.

In the door way was a tall broad shouldered man. His skin was surprisingly tanned although worked naturally with his blonde hair and blue eyes.

He wore a white suit shirt and black pants, a suit jacket hanging off his arm.

I heard Karin cautiously sit down, the whole class watching warily.

The teacher looked serious. His lips being in a straight line and each footstep seemed to echo.

He settled his bag at the front, taking a piece of chalk and then turning to look at the class.

"Hello third years. It's nice to meet you." The man let his head nod slightly and then he went on, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto. But for you, it's Uzumaki-sensei."

With that Uzumaki wrote his name on the board, both in Japanese and then in English.

うずまきナルト

Naruto Uzumaki

"I will be your Japanese literature and English teacher for this coming year. It is a pleasure." The man smiled.

The class was silent. He didn't make much of an entrance, but he did leave an impression.

"Oh, yeah we better write down the roll." With that he pulled a booklet from his bag and got a pen. "When I call out your name, please say your name and why you chose to continue English as a language and Japanese literature."

With that Uzumaki started. Though most just went with the excuse that they enjoyed it, not wanting to prolong their embarrassment.

"And finally, Uchiha Sasuke."

With that I straightened slightly. "I'm Uchiha Sasuke. I chose English because it's useful and I chose Japanese literature because I had a free spot."

For a second Uzumaki was speechless, but he then chuckled. Amusement washing over his easy going features.

"Interesting." The words slipped easy from him, and I wouldn't want to admit it, but goosebumps rose on my arms.

"Let's start then." Uzumaki grinned.

And turned his back to the class to begin writing a English paragraph that had to be translated into English.

Though I pulled out my books, I laid them on my desk, I just laid my head on my books, everyone too busy to not as a blush creeped along my cheeks.

The word 'interesting' rolled around in my mind. Always in the sound of the teacher's voice.

Though it had sounded like he was addressing the whole class, I could feel it was addressed to me.
