Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. (does that suffice)

Chapter 1

A groan escapes the bedroom as Iruka bangs his foster son's door. "You have five minutes before I drag your ass out of there Naruto!"

Naruto groans again and sits up rubbing his eyes while yawning big. 'I hate first days of school,' he internally whined. 'Why do they even force us to go to school?'

He got out bed and headed towards the bathroom. He took a quick shower and brushed his teeth before putting on and orange shirt and cargo shorts. Putting on a pair of flip flops he heads down stairs to eat breakfast with Iruka.

Iruka smiled at him. "Ready for your first day of school Naruto?"

Naruto still had not fully woken up and was in a bad mood since he hated school and especially new ones. You see Iruka got offered a great teaching job at Konoha High School, the best high school in the Land of Fire. It was a dream come true for Iruka. But Naruto was not looking forward to it at all.

It's not that he loved where he used to live but he had a routine there. Go to school, train for football, run his five mile every morning. You know, he didn't even run this morning he was so tired fro the move.

He looked over at Iruka and grunted, "You know it."

"Aww. Cheer up Naruto. I am sure it will be great." Iruka grined, literally beaming optimism. Naruto couldn't help but smile.

"If you say so Iruka."

"Well hurry up and finish up so we can leave!"
-

Five minutes later they were in the car and headed for school. Naruto was slowly finding himself in a better mood as he woke up more. He told himself he would have to run a little extra tomorrow morning to make up for missing his miles.

They pulled up and Iruka parked in his parking space, pointing out to Naruto that it had his name on it, full of enthusiasm. They parted ways one headed to the square the other to the teachers lounge.

Naruto walked to a nearby bench in the square and sat down. He was just reading over the schedule Iruka had given him and learning his teachers' names.

There was Mr. Kakashi for English first period, Mr. Yamato for Wood Shop second period, Mrs. Shizune for Biology II third period, Mr. Azuma for Psychology for forth, Coach Guy for P.E. for fifth and Mr. Iruka Advanced Math.

'Great,' Naruto thought, 'more names and faces I have to memorize.' He sighed.

"Hey there. I haven't seen you around here before. Are you new?"

Naruto turned around to see a pink haired girl starring at him. "Yeah my dad got a job here at the school."

"Oh Mr. Iruka? I didn't know he had a son."

"Well I am not his real son. He is my foster dad. My name is Naruto Uzumaki," he smiled up at her.

"Sakura Haruno, student body president. Nice to meet you and I hope we get to know one another better. There is an assembly in a few minutes and I have to speak, so I better head over to the auditorium. Catch you later."

She ran off towards a large building across the square. A few moments later there was an announcement for all students to report to the auditorium. Naruto made his way, with the rest of the crowd, across the square. He sat down by himself and got ready to hear whatever they were about to say.

He noticed a few people walking down his aisle and sitting next to him. The one sitting beside him had a bowl cut and very big eye brows. Bowl-cut was talking enthusiastically to a girl with two buns in her hair, something about how youthful the morning was or something, before turning to say to Naruto, "Good morning! How are you this youthful day?"

Naruto's first reaction was to shy away from this strange spectacle. But before Bowl-cut could go any further Buns knocked him over the head.

"You are scarring him Lee! I am sorry. Lee gets a little... excited sometimes. Well most of the time. But still. My name is Ten Ten and as I have said this guy is Lee." she said gesturing at the abashed looking guy.

"Umm... I am Naruto... Nice to meet you." he said still a little wary.

Laughing Ten Ten said, "Don't worry too much he just takes getting used to." she said patting Lee on the back.

Lee still looked a little down about getting reprimanded so Naruto answered his early question, "Hello Lee. I am doing just fine. Thank you."

Lee looked over at him and did this pose where he gave him a thumb up and smiled really big. "It is Great to meet you Naruto! I hope we become great friends!"

Naruto was about to reply when Sakura stepped on stage and started talking, "Good morning Konoha High School! We are going to have a great year this year! First off I would like to welcome the incoming freshmen as well as any new students that have moved here," she said looking Naruto's way, "I also am honored to introduce the new advanced math teacher, Mr. Iruka. Please make all new face welcome. Now I would like to announce that club sign up is all this week and signup sheets will be posted in the cafeteria as well as the club's sponsors class rooms. Try outs for certain clubs will be announced at a later date. now with that I would like to wish you all luck on the year. You are dismissed to first hour."

As she stepped back across the stage there was applause and a buzz of chatter as people started to exit the auditorium.

Naruto looked at Lee and Ten Ten and said, "Either of you wouldn't happen to be in Mr. Kakashi's first period class would you?"

They both shook their heads no.

"I am in Kakashi's class."

Naruto turned around to see a boy with shaggy brown hair, deep brown eyes and these red triangle shaped tattoos on each cheek. He was grinning down at Naruto.

"Names Kiba Inuzuka. Nice to meet you?" he said as he offered his hand.

Shaking his hand Naruto said, "Naruto Uzumaki. Likewise."

"Just stick with me Naruto and I will show you the ins and outs of this hell hole." said the grinning boy.

"Ok. Lead the way then." Naruto laughed.

He failed to catch the look Ten Ten was shooting their way. Grinning from ear to ear she could help but notice that these two would make a cute couple. She was a member of Konoha High's exclusive, top secret, yaoi fan club and was already planning to sure this idea with the rest of the girls next meeting.

Naruto followed his new friend to out of the auditorium. Finally starting to think 'Hell, this migh not be that bad. Already made four friends in the first thirty minutes' he laughed to himself and followed Kiba through the door to his first class. As he walked into the class room Naruto first noted was a man with silver hair and a weird mask that cover with lower face and left eye. He was reading a book and not paying attention at all.

Naruto set down at a random desk and Kiba set in the desk next to him. A blond girl with a long ponytail sat in front of him. A boy with brown hair styled in a weird pineapple looking ponytail. And finally he a weird goth kid with purple face paint set behind him.

The bell rang and Mr. Kakashi looked up from his book with a smile only visible in his right eye stated, "Hello class. My name is Kakashi Hatake and I will be your English teacher this year. First off let's start by each of you introducing yourselves and giving a breed description of yourself. Start on the left and go down each row."

The first kid introduced himself but Naruto wasn't really paying attention to any of it. Finally the guy sitting next to him and said, "This is such a drag. My name is Shikamaru Nara and I enjoy cloud envying, napping and shogi." he stated and sat back down. A few more students went and then the girl in front of Naruto stood up. "Hello! My name is Ino Yamanaka and I enjoy cheering, singing and playing softball!"

It was then Naruto's turn he stood up and smiled big. "Hello. My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I love to run, play football, martial arts and I love drawing." Still grinning he sat back down. The kid behind him stood up. "My name is Kankuro. I like puppets and spending time with my brother and sister." he then sat down.

'Weird one,' Naruto thought.

Finally it got to Kiba. "Hi! My name is Kiba and I love playing football, running, playing with my dog Akamaru and playing the piano." he said smiling the whole time.

'Huh, wonder where he lives?' Naruto thought, 'I could have a running buddy here.'
"Ok," Mr. Kakashi said while standing up. "Now everyone write down your favorite book on a piece of paper and pass it up to the front."

We all followed his orders and he went through them. "Well at least one person in here knows good literature. Who put make out tactics down?" he said smiling again. " Don't be shy we won't judge." Slowly Ino's hand went up. "Ahh. Mrs. Yamanaka. Nice choice. Have you read the new one yet?" and they were off, holding a conversation through what little of class remained.

The bell finally rang releasing them from the boredom. "What class you got next?" Kiba asked. Naruto just gave him his schedule instead. He looked it over, "Looks like we have last first, third, lunch and fifth together." He said smiling. "The wood shop is begin the auditorium see you third." He wave before heading in the opposite direction.

Naruto walked back the way they had came and made his way to the back of the auditorium. Mr. Yamato, he presumed, was standing beside the door. He walked in and sat at one of the many drafting tables in the room.

"Naruto my friend! We have a class together! Yosh!" Naruto turned to see Lee sitting down on the stool next to his.

"Hi Lee!" Naruto said happy to see a familiar face.

The bell rang and Mr. Yamato started to explain to the class what they would be doing thought the year. Lee and Naruto exchanged schedules a found that they had forth period together. The bell rang and Lee pointed him in the direction of his third period class.

He walked in and found Kiba who wave him over. He sat to his right side and they chatted about how their second period classes went. When the bell rang Mrs. Shizune walked in and got everybody to do the introduction exercise again. The only one that stuck out in Naruto's mind was a pale boy with black rings around his eyes and bright red hair. He talked very monotoned and looked and said he enjoyed reading, drawing and martial arts. His name was Gaara.

'Interesting kid,' Naruto thought.

Then Mrs. Shizune discussed lab fees and safety rules. After the bell rang Naruto and Kiba headed to the lunch room together.

"So Naruto, why did you move here?" Kiba asked.

"My dad got a job here. He is Mr. Iruka."

"Thats cool. My mom is the local vet."

"That is awesome! I love animals."

"Yeah it is pretty cool. I get to to help her out on some of the simple stuff. I want to be a vet to someday too."

"That's great dude. I have no clue what I want to do yet. Might follow Iruka's example and teach but who knows."

"Yeah so what clubs you gonna sign up for?" Kiba asked while picking up a tray.

Following suit, Naruto answered, "Probably the martial arts team, football, and art club. What about you?"

"Just football. Never got into anything else really."

They walked over to a table where Ino, Sakura, Ten Ten, Lee, Shikamaru, and a shy looking girl Naruto didn't know we're sitting. Naruto and Kiba took the two remaining chairs and Kiba said, "High guys! This is Naruto if you haven't met him yet. He is one of us now got it?" smiling the whole time.

There was a round of hellos from the ones Naruto knew and a few introductions from the ones he hadn't spoke to yet. The shy girl barely spoke five words an blushed the whole time but Naruto learned her name was Hinata Huga.

Sakura asked Naruto what clubs he was going to sign up for again. "So," Sakura said, "we have another footballer. We have tried to get Shikamaru to play for years. He is a genius if he would just apply himself."

*YAWN* "This Is such a drag…. Naruto can be you all's new football jock. Leave me out of it."

"Shut up Shikamaru!" Ino glared, "You are wasting that mind of yours. At least join the shogi club!"

"… Maybe"

Naruto was laughing at the spectacle. He liked this guy. "Don't worry about them Shikamaru. You seem pretty cool. What is cloud envy by the way?"

"It's just where I lay on my back watching the clouds, wishing I could just float along like one of them." He laughed a bit, "It is very relaxing."

Naruto laughed harder, "That is great dude! I might have to try it some time."

Naruto and Kiba started to talk about random stuff and joking around. Ten Ten leaned over to Ino and whispered. Ino giggled and leaned over to Sakura and whispered. Sakura nodded her head, smiling and looked at Naruto and Kiba.

"What are you three scheming?" Shikamaru asked looking bored.

"Oh, nothing." They all replied.

Still oblivious to there surroundings, Kiba asked Naruto, "So have you seen the town yet? It's not anything to fancy, but it's pretty cool."

"No. We haven't had time yet. We just got here yesterday and spent the whole time unpacking."

"Well what are you doing after school then? I could show you around."

"That sounds awesome. I will have to ask Iruka though. What do you drive?"

"I have a bike. You can ride behind me."

"A bike?" Naruto asked naively. "That would look a little strange me riding on the pegs of a bike?"

Kiba just looked at him for a second and burst out laughing. "No, no, no. I have a motorcycle and an extra helmet." He could not stop laughing.

Naruto felt himself blush, feeling silly. "Oh… Well that makes more sense. I don't know how Iruka will say about that but we can try. Meet me outside his room after school."

Kiba, who was still giggling, just grinned and said, "You bet." Just as it left his mouh the bell rang. "See you fifth Naruto. Catch you guys later." And with that the group parted ways.

Sakura, as it turns out, had Psychology with Naruto fifth. So they walked together to Mr. Asuma's class. Sakura was just asking Naruto how he was liking living there so far.

"It's alright so far. No negatives yet."

"YOU!" Naruto turned around to see a blonde woman with two long pigtails.

"You!" he responded back.

"What are you doing here you little twerp?"

"That is none of your business grandma!"

"Oh yes it is brat. This is my school."

Naruto's eyes widened a bit, "What?"

"That is right so show me a little more respect."

"Fine. I moved here two days ago grandma. My foster dad got a job here."

"Really. You got adopted huh? God bless the poor soul who did that," the woman said sarcastically. "Just don't cause to much trouble Naruto. I remember what all you did six years ago at the Academy. I do not want to deal with your stupid pranks again."

Naruto finally laughed, "Oh granny Tsunade, don't worry about that I have matured a lot in six years."

"We will see…" She finally allowed herself to smile. "Come see me some time in the office…. But as a social call, not because you are in trouble got it," she said again serious.

"Ok Granny Tsunade. You got it," he said smiling bigger.

Mrs. Tsunade gave him a quick hug before knocking him over the head. "Stop calling me that and you are late for class hurry up. I will call your teacher and tell them to excuse your tardiness. Now go," she said walking off.

Naruto rubbed his head and looked back at a confused and shocked looking pinkete. "What?"

"What was that about?"

"Oh. Me and Granny Tsunade go way back. She used to be the principals at one of my old schools. I had no idea she had moved here."

"Were you some kind of trouble maker?" she said as they walked towards class again.

"Kinda," he laughed, "She may act like she doesn't like me but she really does care. I still cant believe she is here. It is so cool," he said as he walked in the class room.

"Nice of you two to join us. Principal Tsunade called and told me to excuse you two but don't be late again. Got it?" This had all came from a muscular man with long sideburns down his face who Naruto assumed was Mr. Asuma.

"Yes sir," they said in unison. They sat down in the back of he class and Mr. Asuma started talking about humans and what they would be covering this year.

The bell finally rang after what seemed like eternity to Naruto. Sakura pointed him in the direction of the gym and made it right before the bell rang. He saw Kiba and walked over to him.

"Ok ladies, we won't be doing a lot today. You will just be getting a locker, shorts, and a shirt. Then you have the rest of class for free to do what you want to," said a man who looked a lot like Lee.

"Is that…" he was cut off by Kiba.

"Lee's dad. Yes and no. He was adopted too and idolizes his father."

"Really? Small world."

"Huh," Kiba asked confused.

"Oops," Naruto laughed, "I forgot to mention I am adopted."

"Really? Maybe you can tell me more about it later."

"Sounds good to me."

"So what you want to eat when we go into town for your tour?"

"Do yall have any good ramen places around here."

"Yeah. Ichiraku's is the best in the country."

"Awesome! I love ramen!" Naruto said excitedly with a sparkle in his eye.

Kiba saw and his grin widened a bit.

They got their stuff and decided to run a few laps since Naruto didn't get to that morning. They both kept up a good pace and towards the end they start to race. In the end I was so close it couldn't be called but each of them swore up and down that they had won. They both grabbed a quick shower and got dressed before the bell rang.

"Don't forget I am meeting you in front of Mr. Iruka's room," Kiba said grinning.

"I won't!" Naruto said with a laugh.

They parted ways each headed to their sixth period class.

"Naruto. How is your day going so far?" Iruka asked as he entered the room.

"It's been great Ru! I have made a few friends and everything," the blonde said smiling.

Iruka was blushing. "Naruto! Don't call me that here," he whined, causing Naruto to laugh. "But hey that is great." The bell rang. "Naruto take a seat and during class it is Mr. Iruka got it."

"Ok 'Mr. Iruka'," Naruto said walking to sit by Shikamaru.

The class went by slowly and for Naruto it seemed like forever. Finally the bell rang. And Naruto waited outside the door for his new friend.
