(Marshalanime does not own Naruto or Murenase! Shiiton Gakuen)
Naruto Uzumaki was a young, lonely, boy. Try as he might he couldn't make friends with children his own age and the adults acted like he didn't exist. Staring out the window at the streets below Naruto watched the few people willing to go out on a rainy day like this, a melancholic look on his face as he pressed his forehead up against the cold glass.
"Naruto," the voice of one of his very few precious people spoke up from behind. Putting a smile on his face so he didn't worry the woman Naruto spun around to see his mother standing in the doorway on his room. Waving the boy over the red haired woman knelt down and held out an ornate box she'd been carrying. "I want to show you something that would always cheer me up when I was young" Kushina told the boy as she opened the rectangular box to reveal and equally ornate scroll sitting inside it.
Giving the woman a confused look the blond boy tried to say that he wasn't sad but Kushina just shook her head with a sad smile on her face. She knew how her little boy tried to be strong for her. Dropping the box she reached out and pulled the boy into her embrace. Naruto tried to squirm out of her hold but eventually his tears started to flow out and he ended up crying into her shoulder. "Even if just for a while, let's go somewhere they won't recognize us" the woman softly told the boy.
Years had passed and a teenage Naruto now wore a purple and white school uniform and filed in through the main entrance like all of the students around him. After receiving permission for an extended training mission Naruto decided to see what high school was like with his free time. However, despite being in a crowd of other students there wasn't another human in sight. In fact he was one of only two human students who went to Seton Private Academy, the rest of the student body was made up of different mammalian species ranging from the common house rat to the large African elephant.
Naruto wasn't really sure how this world cam to be how it was but he enjoyed it non-the-less. Looking around it was easy to tell the female students from the male students. It was more than just the uniforms that set them apart, the male students looked like animals that learned how to walk on their hind legs while the girls looked like human girls, but with animal ears and tails.
"Naruto!" a boisterous voice called out as it's owner's arm wrapped around the blond's neck. "Finally shown' ya face around school eh?" the spotted hyena said as she held the boy in a headlock with a big grin one her face. Unlike the other female students she chose to wear the male uniform while switching out the white pants for spotted pants that matched her short, messy hair, albeit much lighter in color than her hair.
"Hey Yena" Naruto greeted the girl with his own grin as his hands came up to grab the arm around his neck. The pair had met a few years back and at the time Yena was just starting middle school. The girl had run into him on her way home from school and after getting into a small argument they'd spent the next week meeting after school to do increasingly ridiculous 'Manly challenges' and at the end of it all they'd built up respect between one another. That is until Naruto said she was the manliest girl he'd ever met. Naruto wasn't aware of it at the time but Yena had genuinely believed she was a man and was taken aback when she had run off saying she was a man and that she hated him. Eventually the misunderstanding was cleared up, though even after that she more or less remained the same.
Looking around Yena's happy expression turned to one of confusion as she searched for something. "Where's Kurama? Thought he was comn' with ya" Yena asked the blond.
"That guy doesn't like showing his face. Even I know he's not going to want to be in the middle of a crowd like this" the distinct voice of Naruto's most resent friend reached their ears. Looking down the pair saw the brush-tailed wallaby standing in front of them, his thick bushy tail laying on the ground behind him and his dark eyes looking up at the pair.
"More or less" Naruto said as Yena let go of him. "He said he'd be here in time for first period" Naruto told them as he fixed the collar of his shirt. Naruto had met Oliver here about a month ago when the marsupial was moving in with some family he had in the country. His plan was to study here during high school and then move back to Australia.
"Aww, that sucks, and here I was looking forward to seen' the guy again only ta be kept waitn'" Yena comments with a dissatisfied expression as she shoved her hands into her pockets.
"What can you expect from a guy like that" the groups final member said as she arrived on the scene, getting a happy expression from Naruto, an annoyed grimace from Yena, and a mostly indifferent look from Oliver as the trio turned to look at the lioness. Nari had the typical blond hair that most lioness' had though hers was kept at shoulder length with her bangs being swept to either side of her face with a few strands hanging loosely between her eyes. Her shirt had the top few buttons undone to show off her cleavage and her bag was held over her shoulder while her other hand rested on her hips.
"Don't ya have some hair to drool ova'!" Yena immediately shot out as the girl with a glare.
"Oh?" Nari sneered as the back of her hand came up over her mouth. "This coming from the girl who thought she was a boy? Forgive me if I'm not blown back" the lioness told the hyena.
"Why you! I'll throtal ya!" Yena roared as she rushed the lion, only to stop short when Naruto grabbed hold of the collar of her shirt.
"They really do fight every time they see each other" Oliver commented before he and Naruto shared a sigh as Yena continued to fume at Nari.
Later in the day after the first batch of classes had come and gone Lunch had finally arrived and Naruto was met with a dilemma. Standing at the front of the lunch line he was kicking himself for forgetting that this school wouldn't have a typical cafeteria as he was faced with a few options such as grass or insects. With everyone behind him complaining that he was holding up the line Naruto went with what he thought was the best option and left with a plate of raw meat.
Spotting an unused table off in the corner Naruto quickly made his way over to it. Taking a seat the blond was about to come up with a way to eat his food without gagging when he noticed he wasn't alone. Sitting on the other side of the table was a rather small girl with silver hair that had darker patched smoothly mixed in and wolf ears poking out of the top of her head. In her hands she held a nearly picked clean bone as she stared at the blond, surprised to see him sitting there.
Feeling threatened by the boy's sudden appearance the girl then hopped up onto the table, getting on all fours and growling at the blond. Giving the girl a weird look Naruto figured it would be best to just ignore her, it wasn't like there was another table for him to move too anyway. Seeing that the boy wasn't interested in her food the wold girl was relieved, but that didn't stop her from keeping a wary eye on him as she got back in her chair and went back to eating.
Sighing Naruto slid his plate over to her. "Here, I'm not hungry" Naruto told her and watched as her face lit up and drool started flowing out of her mouth. Seeing her shove her face into the slab of meat and messily dig into it brought a small smile ti his lips. 'At least on of us will be full' the blond thought as he closed his eyes and let out a small sigh.
"Fuuuu~ Alright then, understood!" the girl said as the sound of her getting onto the table again caught his ear. Opening his eyes Naruto saw the girl standing proudly with her arms folded over her chest and her fluffy tail quickly wagging back and forth behind her. "I'll take you into my pack!" the girl declared, much to Naruto's confusion.
"You want into my pack in exchange for that food right? Okay, you're in! But of course I'm the leader" she tells him, ignoring him in her excitement as he tries to explain that wasn't his intention. "I am the great wolf Lanka! The proud wolf leader!" Lanka introduced herself with a very bright expression. Seeing as he wasn't going to get a word in Naruto found himself sitting back with a smile as he watched her go.
Hopping of the table Lanka began o run on all fours calling back to the blond "I'll show you around my territory right away, so come on!". However, when she noticed he wasn't following her she ran right back. "Why aren't you coming? The leaders orders are absolute you know?" Lanka asked him as she energetically moved around his chair.
Stopping her movements by clasping a hand on top of her head Naruto told her, "It's nice to hear that you want me to be in your pack, but I never said I was going to join".
It seemed like Lanka was going to make a retort but both hers and Naruto's attention was drawn by a new voice calling out to the blond. The person who did was Hitomi, the only human student at this school aside from Naruto. She was a rather cute girl, long black hair, nice figure, expressive eyes among other things. "Can I sit here?" the girl asked as she pulled out a chair.
"Sure, I don't mind if yo-" Naruto was telling her when Lanka butted in with a much different reaction.
"If you want to steal my male you'll have to fight for him, human female!" Lanka growled out as she put herself between Hitomi and Naruto.
"Um, well then," Hitomi began as she slowly backed up as Naruto desperately tried to both tell Lanka off for acting like this and convincing Hitomi to stay. "I guess I should be goi-Huh?" the girl was saying when she backed up into someone.
"Hey, human girl" Nari began as she placed a hand on Hitomi's shoulder as the girl tilted her head back to see the lioness staring down at her. "Either sit down or don't, but don't waste our time doing so" the lion told her.
After a few failed stutters Hitomi quickly apologized before taking off. As Naruto was sighing into the palm of his hand the sound of a tray dropping onto the table rang in his ears. "Did ya have ta' scare tha' girl?" Yena asked the lioness as her elbow cam to rest on the table with her cheek in the palm of her head.
"Survival of the fittest" Nari said as she put her tray on the table, her seat being on the other side of Naruto and Lanka. Looking past the blond at the hyena she continued "If she doesn't have the gusto to sit with us then why should I care if she gets scarred".
As the two of them devolved into a glaring contest Lanka was frantically looking between the pair. On one hand there were even more females to chace off now, while on the other she was confused as to why a lion and a hyena came over to sit with a human and a wolf. As for Naruto, he was beginning to wonder if high school was going to be more effort than he anticipated.
