Title: A Lifetime for a While

Rating: T for Teens

Second Genre: Humor (even though half of my reviewers don't find anything I write to be funny ._.)

Xover: No

Summary: Naruto is a young man who wants to be a normal high school freshman at Konoha High but the problem is: Konoha High isn't normal. The young man would have to deal with Insanity, social differences and perhaps…love?

Pairing: NarutoXIno NarutoXSakura (pairings are final. They will not be altered. I'm talking to you Naru-Hina fans!)

Extra Notes: I basically want you guys to enjoy this and reviews are gladly demanded. I want to finish a story for once, since I never did despite the numerous aliases I created. I did have some successful stories which I discontinued for no apparent reason besides me getting bored of it. I'm a villain…I don't even write Discontinued on novels I'm done with so people who're still waiting for it are expecting it. I really want to stop this bad habit so that's why I'm going to really work on this one, especially since SUMMER has started and I'm not planning anything. This chapter would be rather short, since I'm unsure of how successful it would be. I hope it does get successful so I could turn it into a big project of mine.

The dirty, filthy laundry beneath the young man's bed, his flowing dark-blond hair spiked up and resting soundlessly with him on his white pillow, the striped boxers and drool sliding down his cheeks already determines what kind of man he is.

"LAZY!" screamed the old lady outside, "He's nothing but a good-for-nothing, lazy twat and I'm getting sick of it." she banged on the door with the paint stripped off, "You told me to wake you up and I'm an old lady! I get up in the morning and you won't even answer your door?!"

"Five more minutes…" Naruto whined, throwing his pillow over his face.

"You want five more minutes?!" she rolled up her sleeve and cocked her fist backwards, "I'll give you five more minutes…"

Her hand instantaneously impacted against the door causing it to crash backwards, literary shattering it into pieces. Naruto scooted backwards from the sharp shards of wood with his sky-blue blanket covering his face as if a little kid is hiding from a monster.

The old difference being that Naruto's not a little kid but the lady is surely a monster.

"If I don't find you up and about in five minutes, so help me god Naruto." she punched her hand on her fist creating a metallic sound which shouldn't be humanly possible, "I'll knock you out."

"Yes mam!" Naruto said struggling against the floor to pick up his clothing. The old lady sat down on his brown stool Naruto considered to be a chair and heaved, "I'm not going to be around forever to look after you. You're your own man now Naruto." she sighed, "I'm expecting you to be your own man. I know you can be your own man and now that you finally got emitted into school. I can rest easy now." she raises her brow, as if considering it due to this event, "Am I right?" she hissed threateningly.

"Yes!" Naruto gulped, cleaning up the mess as he zoomed pass her, leaping over the railing, "I'll see you later Grandma and don't worry about me. I'll make you proud!"

The old lady rubbed her aching back, looking at the picture of her and a younger version of Naruto near the old great lake, "I think…" she whispered to herself quietly, "I think I'm going to go pray now."

Later that day

The dim lit auditorium, crowded whispers heard from every corner. The teachers fighting over the next genius, it all felt unreal to Naruto, "This is the real deal." Naruto spoke; sitting beside people he doesn't know but could potentially know. He felt like someone was keeping a close eye on him though, but he easily brushed it off.

The stage then gleamed with whiteness from the lights above and a mature woman with golden-light hair tied into a pony-tail walks unto the stage with a mischievous smile, "Welcome! I'm Tsunade, the main principal of Konoha high!" her voice bellowed throughout the auditorium as students muttered about her curious history as the yellow-devil. It's known she once took on the principal herself during her high school days, "As you all know, Konoha High isn't a normal high school." she paused, as if waiting for everyone to suck in that information.

"You will not be treated as a normal high school student, if that were the case then you wouldn't be here in the first place. Our goal is to prepare our students for the outside world and despite our passage rates being less than sixty percent, we make sure we don't send students we're unsure of, meaning to say, we don't allow students to graduate if there's any hint of doubt that him or her would be unsuitable for the outside world."

"If you are new here then you know how it is. We don't recommend fighting out your problems but they are allowed." There was a large gasp from the crowd, especially from new parents of newly enrolled students, "What?!" Naruto spoke out loud, without knowing he did and since the dead silence was rudely interrupted, Tsunade singled him out of the crowd.

"I see you have some doubts with our system…" Tsunade said, an evil grin planted on her face, "I guess you all have some doubts that you would like to be clear. I guess there's no helping it, we do need a live volunteer from the crowd and since you valiantly offered your service. I won't turn it down."

She motioned Naruto unto the stage and Naruto tried to dodge the stares on his way up there. The noise however proved to be more difficult. He finally made it and the middle-aged woman couldn't look more frightening. He could see why she is known as the yellow-devil during her days in Konoha High.

"You must be Uzumaki Naruto, the kid with no experience of schooling whatsoever decides to challenge my way of thinking."

Naruto felt his mouth turn dry and he couldn't speak well but tried his best to anyway, "I guess…" he spoke, "I mean, what's the deal with fighting? I don't get it, what high school promotes fighting?"

"The students of Konoha high aren't normal high school student. Are you deaf or perhaps I should beat that information into you."

She had the same aura as Granny when she's mad, "No Mam!" Naruto habitually responded, feeling stupid afterwards, "I mean…" he swallowed hard, looking at the crowd with his peripheral vision, "…I stand by what I said. I don't think this is right."

There was another loud response from the crowd but this time it was coming from the previous freshmen as they pleaded him to leave the stage, "You don't want to mess with the yellow-devil man, she's crazy!" one said while looking at Naruto with a frightened expression, "I saw her destroy a student with one hit. You're messing with the wrong woman."

Tsunade raised her hand the whole crowd turned silent. She then motioned another student to walk over and said his name over the microphone, "Sophomore Uchiha Sasuke from the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan has a long history with Konoha High dating back to the beginning of its creation but unlike Uzumaki Naruto here, Uchiha Sasuke believes that this system is perfect for the students and he will demonstrate now."

The gripping silence, the young, potentially dangerous man in front of him, there was only one thought roaming Naruto's head as he gets ready for a fight he never intended to be in.

What did I get myself into?!
