The first time he ever played a prank on anyone was a couple days after the Uchiha massacre.

The news of the murder of the Uchiha family had spread like wildfire throughout Konoha. Everyone was talking about it and even Naruto had heard that it had happened, which was a rare occurrence since Naruto really didn't hear much news whether it be big or small. He had been living his quiet life in his apartment with occasional visits from the Hokage for quite some time and he liked it like that even though it did get a little lonely. He was 7 years old now and he had been living on his own for 2 years. He had just started school only a couple months ago and he already hated his teacher and practically all the students in his class. They all made fun of him. Well, all except Sasuke. Sasuke just didn't see him at all, but he didn't care because he often wanted to be invisible.

The day after Sasuke had been released from the hospital he had immediately returned to class so that he wouldn't get any bad grades even though the doctors said he should probably take it easy. The first thing he was greeted with when he walked into the room was the teacher giving a pitying look and saying how sorry he was that Sasuke had to endure such a painful experience as the death of his family. To everyone else Sasuke remained emotionless, but Naruto could see the pained look in Sasuke's onyx eyes. Naruto could see that Sasuke just wanted to be invisible so that people would stop talking about him.

The teacher finally let Sasuke sit down when one of the student's pointed out that there was a fight going on outside. After telling Sasuke, in a very kind way, to sit down at his seat in the middle of the front row, the teacher ran outside to try to break up the fight. Naruto took this time to walk to the front of the room pull a tack off of the teacher's desk and place it in the middle of the teacher's chair. When he turned around all of the students had wide eyes except for Sasuke. Sasuke was just staring at him and so he just smiled back until Sasuke's stare turned into a glare and he walked back to his own seat at the back corner of the room where the light was out and it was hard to write anything without having to get really close to whatever was being written.

A few minutes later the teacher came in and Naruto was glad that none of the student's said anything as he gave Sasuke one last pitying look and then slumped into his chair only to hop back up with a pained howl. "Who did this?" he screamed as he pulled the tack out of his butt.

"It was Naruto!" accused the pink haired girl, that Naruto recognized as Sakura, who sat behind Sasuke.

The teacher's eyes darkened a shade in his anger and he threw the tack straight at Naruto's face. "I knew it! I knew I shouldn't have allowed a monster like you into my class! I knew you'd turn out to be bad! I told the Hokage that you shouldn't be in my class. No, you shouldn't be in this school! NO! You shouldn't be alive!"

Naruto, who had yet to learn any of the ninja training, could only put his hands up to protect his face from the flying projectile, and it easily pierced through his wrist as he winced in pain. He took the tack out of his wrist allowing only a speck of blood to leak out as he listened to his teacher pour out his rage on him and curse him and tell him he should die. He was no longer able to remain invisible, but he didn't care because Sasuke was and it looked like Sasuke was relieved because of it.

When the teacher's rage had calmed down he smirked at Naruto with an evil glint in his eye and said, "Naruto, I would like to see you after class for detention." Naruto just nodded his head as the teacher went back to teaching his class in a calm manner that was nothing like when he was angry.

When Naruto showed up for detention that day he felt his teacher's fist ram straight into his stomach rendering him unable to move. That day was also the first day a villager had ever beaten him up.
