Hey guys! So I was just bored and decided to whip this out for yeah. I'm not sure if it's worth continuing, so I thought I'd post it before I put too much time into it. I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1
Good news
A beam of sunlight cut through a gap in the curtains, landing on a slightly snoring heap of blankets in the middle of a queen-sized bed. A groan and a few curses later, a messy blond head poked out of the heap, glaring at the sunlight through sleepy eyes. Naruto ran a hand through his spiky blond mane and yawned. After a moment of contentedly scratching his belly, he kicked the blankets off.
He hissed as his bare feet touched the cold floor, then stood up and stretched like a cat, yawning again. He sighed then made his way out of his tiny bedroom, toward the kitchen. He opened the fridge and poured himself a glass of orange juice before kicking the fridge closed and going over to the counter. The door bell rang and he drained the glass and put it in the sink. He walked over to the door, looked through the peep hole and saw the masked face of his old mentor, Kakashi. He unlocked the door and opened it with a wide grin on his face.
"Hello sensei! Long time no see. Whatcha up to?" he asked, leading Kakashi into the kitchen. "Want some water or something?"
"No, thank you," Kakashi said in his bored tone, sliding into a chair at the table. "You do know you're in your underwear, right?"
"Shit!" Naruto shouted, scrambling back to his room to change. Kakashi just chuckled at his old student and slouched down into the chair. He hadn't seen Naruto in almost ten years, since the day Sasuke left. It had been hard on Naruto, to lose a friend he had grown so close to.
Naruto walked back into the room in lose fitting jeans held up by a black studded belt, and a tight fitting white tank top. "So, what did you need to talk to me about?" he asked, sitting in the chair across the table from Kakashi.
"I have good news," Kakashi said, smiling under his mask. "I'm sure you've heard about last night's raid?"
Naruto nodded. Kiba had called him last night, wondering if he could see it from his apartment. "Yeah, I guess it was a bad one. I didn't get called in, so I assumed Anbu had it under control. Why? What does that have to do with me?"
"Well, Orochimaru's confidence is building and we need all the ninja we can get to hold him off, so…" Kakashi pulled a bundle out from behind his back. He carefully unfolded a black cloak, revealing a white Anbu mask. "Welcome to Anbu, Fox."
Naruto was in shock. He slowly leaned forward and grabbed the mask. He gently ran his fingers over the red whisker marks on the cheeks, thinking things over. Being a member of Anbu had been a dream of his for years, and now it was happening! He was snapped out of his daze by Kakashi slowly standing up.
"Be in the Hokage's office first thing in the morning for your first assignment. And Naruto…"
"Huh?" Naruto grunted, still in shock.
"Congratulations. You deserve it," and with that, Kakashi let himself out, closing the door behind him with a click.
Naruto just sat in his chair, staring at the mask in his hands. After a few minutes, ha slowly stood up from his chair, a smile making its way to his face. His smile widened until it almost split his face in two, and a single tear of joy fell from his cerulean eyes, splashing on the fox mask.
A/N: Well… how was it? Please review!!!
