My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm 16, 17 in October. When I was just a baby, both my parents died. I live with my half-brother Kyuubi. We live in a rundown loft in a rural distract of Tokyo. I attend Konoha Academy, a private school for the gifted and talented. How does a poor orphan go to a private school, you ask? Well, that's all thanks to Iruka-sensei.
Iruka-sensei is the orchestra teacher at the academy and he pays for my tuition. Why? Well, Iruka-sensei is my old foster parent. I grew up with him until Kyuubi came along and I moved in with him. Why Iruka-sensei doesn't just send me to a public school? Well, I'm apparently a prodigy. At dance and singing.
So, life was going pretty well for me and Kyuubi-san until the start of my junior year. So many things changed that year; it's hard to keep track of them all. First, the people. Kyuubi was always involved with the darker arts of life, drug dealing and such. How else do you think we paid our rent? Anyway, one day he came home and he wasn't just selling drugs, he was using them. How he got me started, I'll never know, but I did start all the same.
Then the people at school all changed. Hinata Hyuuga to start with, was always pretty shy. She was the type of girl that stood in the back and stuttered when she talked. I always thought she'd be in the wings while others took the stage. I was wrong on that guess. Then there's Sakura and Ino, the second worst set of rivals in the school. They hated each others guts and they always would. Guess what? I was wrong there too.
Rock Lee, definitely an interesting guy there. He was considered the freak of the school, with his bowl cut and fuzzy eyebrows. I personally loved Lee and his energetic personality, but the other student's never would. Wow, I got a lot of things wrong this year. Kiba, I thought the only girl who'd ever like him would be a girl dog, and would you guess it? I was wrong again!
The last dude to change would be the cold, heartless, rich, 'I have a stick up my ass' bastard named Sasuke Uchiha. Do you all remember how I said Sakura and Ino were the second worst rivals in the school? Well, the worst would be Sasuke-teme and, damnit, me. Yeah, it guess what, we went through the same thing Sakura and Ino went through! Starting out as best-friends, switching to rivals, switching to hateful enemies, to becoming. . .
I can't tell you that yet, it'd give away the story. These are my memoirs of my junior year in high school, full of romance, humor, angst, and drama. Drama of both kinds. Get out your tissues, for this is my story. . .

This is a prologue so it's short and please don't hate me for putting up another story when my others need updated. I'm trying but this story is all I can think of. I have the plot for Garden of Aden and Uchiha Heir thought out but it's not coming out on paper. So annoying! I will try to update them, but the more you wait, the better they'll be, I promise! Plus I just got out of school last Friday, I have more writing time now!
