It was the first day of school at Konoha University. It was therefore extremely busy as new students rushed from place to place trying to figure out what was going on!
"Jeez man, I'm so tired! We really need to find our dorms soon, or else I might die of exhaustion!" Naruto complained as he walked down the corridor with his best friend.
"The only thing at risk of dying is my ear due to your incessant nagging" Sasuke replied sighing, as he too was tired after their long orientation and registration process.
"Hey shut it Sasuke! I haven't eaten any ramen since this morning and I'm starving. So please excuse me if I complain a bit!" Naruto retorted, raising his voice right next to Sasuke's ear
"Ugh fine, whatever Naruto" Sasuke rolled his eyes as he pushed Naruto's face away.
"Just keep looking at the doors on the right and I'll look at the ones on the left we'll find our rooms eventually. In fact the numbers on the doors are getting closer to our actual dorm numbers so we must be getting closer." Sasuke stated.
"Alright then" Naruto acquiesced as they continued their search.
After a couple more minutes of walking down a seemingly endless amount of halls Sasuke halted abruptly.
"What's wrong?" Naruto enquired
"Looks like this is my dorm right here" Sasuke said as he compared the number on the door to the number assigned to him which he had written down on a piece of paper.
"Oh so you're dorm 145 huh? I'm in dorm 301. Looks like we'll be pretty far away from each other" Naruto frowned
"Wait, did you say 301?" Sasuke questioned, ensuring he heard him correctly.
"Yeah, why?" Naruto answered.
Sasuke then turned away from Naruto and faced his dorm's door, he opened it and stepped in.
"Hey! Why did you ask me if my number was 301?!" Naruto exclaimed reaching his hand out to pull back the Uchiha.
"Tch, look behind you, baka" Sasuke smirked before shutting the door behind him.
Naruto turned around and saw 'Dorm 301' on the door behind him.
"Wahoo! We're neighbours Sa-" Naruto stopped mid speech remembering that Sasuke had already left.
"Whoops looks like I wasn't paying attention to the door numbers like I was supposed to" he chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head.
"Hmm I should probably stop talking to myself. Don't want my new friends to think I'm crazy!" he thought to himself, as he entered his dorm as well.
"Yo! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, pleased to meet you guys" He yelled upon entering his dorm.
His greeting was returned with an even more energetic one.
"Hello friend! My name is Rock Lee" he exclaimed grabbing Naruto's hand and giving it a firm shake.
"Heh, you've got quite a strong handshake there uh… Rock" Naruto chuckled nervously as he took his hand back and gave it a good rub.
"You can call me Lee" he corrected "And the reason my grip is so strong is the power of youth" he shouted once more and ran off.
"Don't worry about him, he's been doing that since I got here" said someone sitting in the corner of the living room area in the darkness.
Naruto walked up to him "Hey I'm Naruto and you are?"
"Sai" he responded, his gaze firmly fixed on a painting he was working on.
"Oh are you an artist?" Naruto asked, squinting to try and see him through the darkness.
"Not yet but that's why I'm here" he responded flatly, still staring at his painting.
"Why's it so dark here? You can't even see what you're painting" Naruto questioned as he opened up the curtains letting in the sunlight.
As soon as sunlight had entered the room Sai retreated hurriedly to another corner of the room to avoid the suns' rays.
"Geez man! Are you trying to kill me or something. Close that curtain!" he demanded.
"What?! Why?" Naruto questioned, finally getting a good look at Sai.
"Dude, now that I can see you properly, you're looking a bit pale. A bit of sun would be good for you" Naruto advised.
"Are you crazy? I never go out in the sun." he stated, back to his previous monotone voice.
"Wait, you never go out into the sun?" Naruto asked with a very confused look on his face.
"Well, I do to get groceries and other necessary stuff. Other than that I prefer to stay in my room, in the dark, and paint or draw." he answered.
"That's uh… cool I guess" Naruto said, chuckling nervously.
"Well, I'll be in my room if you need me. It's way too bright out here" Sai stated as he gathered up his things and walked towards his door.
"You were the last person to arrive so your room is the only unoccupied one" He added, pointing Naruto to his room.
"Oh cool, thanks Sai" Naruto responded, looking at Sai scurry into his room and finally shutting the door behind him.
His focus was then broken by loud barking in the background. Naruto turned around to investigate only to be tackled and subsequently licked by the beast.
"Ah down boy! Get off me…please" Naruto pleaded as he was being covered in drool.
"Heh I see you've met Akamaru" said another boy with messy brown hair. "I'm his master, the name's Kiba Inuzuka. Wassup?"
"Nice to meet you, I'm Naruto Uzumaki" he said, gasping for air due to Akamaru laying on top of him.
"Do you mind getting this big guy off of me? He's pretty heavy" he requested, his face practically blue due to lack of oxygen.
"Come here boy" Kiba called to Akamaru who jumped off Naruto and to his owner.
Naruto took a deep breath to get some air back into his lungs. He turned over onto his stomach
"I didn't know we were allowed to bring animals in here" Naruto said still breathing deeply.
"We're not" Kiba laughed loudly "You'd better not tell anyone. Or else I might just let Akamaru 'play' with you again" he jokingly threatened.
"Oh God! My lips are sealed buddy" Naruto exclaimed, not wanting to relive that horror again.
"Cool bro, we knew you'd understand" Kiba smirked as he walked back to his room. Akamaru then pounced on Naruto once more playfully and followed Kiba into his room.
"Great, I'm living with a bunch of lunatics! On top of that not only am I insanely hungry but now I have to take a shower because I'm covered in dog saliva." Naruto bemoaned.
"Alright, I'll head to my room and unpack and then I'll take a much needed shower and finally I'll get something to eat" he planned as he got up from the floor.
As he went into his room and began unpacking he started to wonder how Sasuke's roommate experience was going. Couldn't be weirder than his!
Author's Notes
Well I'm back after like 2 years of nothingness. With a new story no less! It's basically the same concept of the Konoha gang in school. I wasn't really such fan of my other story. The ideas were cool but the execution was… not up to par in my opinion. Anyways I suppose this is like a remastered version so I do hope you guys enjoy. Next chapter we'll get Sasuke's story and maybe the introduction of the girls. Who knows? Not even me!
