A/N: Hi fanfictioners. How you all doing? This is my first fiction on my new account. I hope you all like. It is AU ( alternate universe), so some things maybe strange such as members of the Akatsuki being related to the younger characters, but please bear with me. I really hope you enjoy this fic. I was inspired by Naruto Shippu Konoha Gakuen Den OAV. If you haven't seen it go to you tube now. Also I'm in need of a beta. Mostly for silly grammatical mistakes. If anyone wishes to volunteer ( God help you) please inbox me. Thank you and enjoy.
Introduction.
Tsunade walked into the council hall, eleven students following orderly behind her. Her childhood friend ,Orochimaru, was already present with twelve of his own students.
Stopping in front of the three village elders, Tsunade bowed deeply showing her respect.
Sakura stood, staring over Sai's shoulder at the council. Straitening her form, the teenager tried to ignore the brooding presence that was standing on the opposite side of the room from her. She hoped her face didn't show the mix of negative emotions that were running within her. Taking a deep breath, Sakura focused her attentions ahead.
Sasuke stuffed his hands into his pockets, disregarding the redhead hanging off his arm.
"Sasuke-kun, are you okay?" asked Karin. Sasuke, again, ignored the girl." I wonder why Mayor Sarutobi called your old high school here to meet with us today?"
"You'll find out soon enough so shut up!" Suigetsu glared at the annoying woman. Karin opened her mouth to retort, but the old man at the front of the room caught her attention.
"Welcome senior students," Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply looking at the rows of students in front of him. Two different school's uniforms occupied the town hall . The top senior students from each school stood, a small divide between them.
On the right were the top eleven students of Konoha High with their principle, Senju Tsunade, standing proudly in front of them.
On the left, twelve students of the fairly new yet very successful Oto High and their own school head, Orochimaru.
"As the only two high schools in our district." Sarutobi paused to rub his eyes tiredly. "It is my sad duty to announce that due to low funds, we will have to shut down one of the schools"
Shouts rang all around, as the two schools protested in outrage.
"That's bull" Kiba threw his fist in the air.
"Close down" hissed Zaku " Oto is too damn good to close down"
"Settle down!" Neji tugged on the band that stood dauntingly on his right arm. Some of the Konoha students turned towards their class president.
"You can't tell us what to fucking do!" shouted Tayuya.
"Like hell he can't" Ino twisted towards the girl, electricity crackling between them,
"Enough!" shouted Tsunade, turning to face her students angrily. " You're disgracing our school."
"Shut up," said Orochimaru at the same time. Kabuto glared behind at his fellow classmates, adjusting his own armband. The Oto high students quietened immediately, straightening up and turning to face the mayor once more.
Orochimaru smirked at Tsunade tauntingly. It was obvious who was the scarier principle.
"As I was saying," said Sarutobi " One school will have to close by the end of the school year. We decided to test each school with a series of academic and sporting events ."
"There will be sixteen events in all, with a general knowledge challenge at the end of the year" resumed Homura " Which ever school succeeds in the most events will remain. The other school will close down."
The council member paused for a moment to let the teenagers digest all the information they had just received. A few students had raised their hands to question the elder members but were ignored as Koharu stood up.
"To keep the competitions fair, we have asked for some outside help. Some previous students from both schools." said the female committee member, looking at the hall doors. " Come in!"
Itachi strode into the hall, an air of authority surrounding him. Sasori followed behind him, looking around till he spotted a familiar face.
"Itachi-san?" bemused Sakura out loud. The Uchiha smirked at the young girl walking past her.
"Sakura," he replied curtly continuing to the front of the room.
"Nice how you notice your own brother Sakura," said Sasori annoyed.
"Nii-san?" whispered Sakura. Her head snapped from the older Uchiha to her sibling beside her. Sasori nodded in response. "Why didn't you tell me any of this? The school could close down?"
Sasori rolled his eye before walking on to stand next to Itachi. In a neat line, ten ex-students faced the young teenagers.
Standing at the front of the hall, everyone waited for the appointed leader to make his own speech.
"Hello students," Yahiko stepped forward from the line "As the council have just said, my friends and I will be watching over the sixteen events. We will not be judging the competitions, professionals will be called in for that, but we are here to make sure everything is done fairly. Any foul play will lead to immediate forfeit. Do I make myself clear?"
Intimidation etched on the pierced male's face made the seniors nodded their head fearfully.
"Good!"
Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed at the thought of his brother being involved in such trivial matters. I wonder if Tousan knows? Itachi should have been focusing on his college studies, not these stupid high games.
Yahiko paced across the floor, his hands held firmly behind his back " Twelve students from each school have been selected to participate. Seven events will challenge you physically and seven will challenge you mentally. Each event has different rules which will be explained nearer to the event date."
Sakura looked around her, Neji stood at the front of the group. Rock Lee and Tenten behind him. Beside her was Ino with Shikamaru and Chouji in tow. Then there was Hinata, Kiba, Shino and Sai in front of her. There are only eleven of us. We need another person.
" Everyone will be given a list of events. It is up to you to decide which members will partake in what events. There will also be a football game that will include all members. Konan will you do the honours of announcing the first event and relevant information?"
Konan stepped forward as Yuhiko took her previous space.
"The first event is doubles tennis," Konan looked over the room " It will be held in two weeks time to give everyone time to practice. You can pick your own partners but we will pick who you play against. It will be simple matches, where the losers will be eliminated and the winners move onto the next round. There will be a thirty minute break between each match so everyone can take a break. Any questions about the tennis event?"
Most students nodded indicating they understood what the college student had said.
Waiting till Konan stepped back in line, Itachi stepped forward.
"There is one more thing I would like to explain" Itachi walked over to the Konoha side of the room " the ten of us are all related to at least one student in this room, so to play fair we will be split up between the school. Depending on what school our sibling or cousin go to , we will be assigned to the opposite. For example, my brother Sasuke belongs to Oto, so I will be helping the Konoha side."
"My baby sister Sakura…" Sasori stepped out of line and walked over near Orochimaru. Sakura frowned at her brother's patronising. "… belongs to Konoha, so I will be helping Oto"
He was followed by Deidara Yamanaka, Yuhiko Namikaze, Tenten's sister Konan and Sai's brother, Zetsu.
Next to Itachi stood Hidan Yakushi , Kakuzu Kinuta, Kisame Hozuki and Nagato Uzumaki.
"Now that everyone understands that, are there any more questions?"
Sakura raised her hand " You said there are twelve students from each school but we only have eleven"
Everyone heard Tsunade mumbled something about 'lazy perverted people causing such delay'.
"Tsunade-s—" Sakura was interrupted by shouts from outside.
"You're were over an hour late!"
"Well I got lost on the ro—"
"Liar!" the doors to the hall slammed open " I had to wait at that train station for over an hour with no ramen in sight."
Sakura eyes popped open as the young man, making all the noise, entered the crowded hall.
"No ramen, I nearly died. I swear baa-chan better kill y—"
"Naruto"
Blue eyes met emerald.
"Sakura-chan?" Naruto mouth fell looking towards the young girl. His face split into a mega-watt smile, running forward . Sakura also ran towards her boisterous best friend. She dived into his arms as Naruto picked her up and swung her around.
Letting her down gently, Naruto held onto Sakura's forearms as she took in the young man in front of her.
"I can't believe… How? When?" Sakura couldn't understand how the boy she hadn't seen for over two years stood in front of her. Sakura bonked Naruto hard on the head " Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
"Itai! Sakura-chan." Naruto rubbed the bump that was now forming on his head " It was a surprise. I didn't even know I was coming till a few days ago. Baa-chan contacted Ero-Sennin explaining what was happening, so he sent me here to help"
"Naruto!" shouted Tsunade " Stop calling me baa-chan. I'm your principle again so show some respect"
"Hai hai," Naruto waved off the older lady before turning towards the Oto students. He pointed at them determinedly " My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm going to defeat every one of you. Dattebayo!"
The students glared at the exuberant blonde in front of them.
"Dobe,"
"Teme," Naruto turned towards the mocking voice of his former best friend. Sakura, on the other hand, didn't turn to face Sasuke at all.
Sasuke walked forward passing the pair, his shoulder brushed against Naruto's. His passing form caused Sakura's bangs to blow forward gently. Around them time seemed to freeze for a moment.
Silence engulfed the room as everyone watched the three teenagers icy meeting.
"You will come back Sasuke," whispered Naruto as Sasuke reached for the door handle " You'll come back even if I have to force you. I promise you"
Sasuke smirked before turning towards the two " You're both still annoying. Dobe."
Sakura bit her lip, ignoring the stinging in her eyes as she watched the young Uchiha leave.
Soon the rest of Oto high followed suit, leaving with their classmate.
"So anything new happen since I've been gone?" Naruto sat down on the bus next to Sakura, who shook her head in response.
"Not really. Everything is pretty much the same. I got an internship at the hospital. Tsunade put a word in for me so I work there two afternoons a week. What other news is there to tell? Neji won the martial arts championship last year, he's competing again this year. Oh I forgot to introduce you to Sai?"
"Sai?" asked Naruto, raising a golden eyebrow.
Stretching up to see better, Sakura looked around the bus till she saw Sai sitting with Ino.
"Oi Sai!" called Sakura "Get over here."
"Sai transferred here last year. He's kind of a weirdo but you'll get use to him. Since you left, he's kind of been my best friend. I know you two will get on great"
"Hey hag," Sai sat down on the seat in front of Naruto " What do you want?"
"Sai don't call me that!" growled Sakura, sitting back comfortably she let Naruto enter their conversation " I wanted to introduce you to someone, this is Naruto Namikaze. Remember I told you about him. He use to live here but two years ago, his guardian, Iruka, had to leave to America to study, so he went to live with his grand-uncle Jiraiya."
"You might have heard of him. He writes those Icha Icha books. I don't really get why guys go crazy for them to be honest, " Naruto scratched his head. Rummaging through his backpack, he pulled out a red book "does Kakashi still read them because I got this special pre-released cop —"
The book was yanked abruptly out of his hand. Kakashi smiled from under his black surgical mask as he walked to the front of the bus, already giggling away to himself.
"Erm…okay."
"How come you're not interested in those books?" asked Sai " don't you like women? There are also men in those books. Unless you don't like men as well. Don't you feel aroused at either gender? Maybe you don't have genitals to get aroused with? Can I call you dickless?"
Naruto face got redder and redder with each statement that passed Sai's lips. Finally he erupted " I have a dick! I have a big dick!"
"Naruto" snarled Tsunade. The whole bus fell silent looking at the fuming teenage. The blonde dropped his head in embarrassment, hiding his tomato face for the rest of the bus ride.
A/N: Well there you go. Just a note I wanted Naruto to take his father's name. There is a reason, not a significant one but there is one. You'll find out later. Anyway, can you guess which characters Kisame, Deidara, Kakuzu, Yuhiko, Nagato and Hidan are related to?
