Disclaimer: Would you let me own Naruto? Would you? If I do ever lay my hands on them unsuspecting characters… SasuNaru will be CANON! XD

Warning: BL homosexual couples no homophobes (only if you are willing to let me rip your head off). Rated for crude language and violence at later chapters. Err… no explicit sex will be mentioned here, coz sadly I'm a prude and get too embarrassed to write about it. Also, there will be an excessive amount of very bad grammar and poor writing skills and unfunny jokes. Be wary.

Uzumaki Naruto's journal:

It's been such a long time. The train journey is as mundane as toast for breakfast. The scenery hasn't changed one bit since the minute we left the station at Cambensy. Just the same old semi-desert-grassland. Utterly disgusting.

I was seen off by Iruka, Kiba and Hinata. I'm surprised Hinata came. After all, I thought being the heiress of the "oh-so-powerful" Hyugga clan, she's forbidden to be seen at such a (quote) common and vulgar (unquote) place like a train station. I feel sorry for the poor girl really. I mean how dull her life must be! Not allowed to do this, not allowed to do that. Thou the prospect of having unlimited cash is very tempting but I won't trade my freedom for that ever.

Only 6 hours into the trip and I already miss my life at Cambensy. I miss Iruka's mother hen nagging. I miss Kiba's animalistic howling. Seriously, that boy never talks like a normal human being, he yaps like the dogs he feeds. But he's still my reliable, prank-loving best mate, no complains there. X3

Ark! No, mustn't think too much of them or I'll get tears in my eyes again! Cambensy is so small that it's hardly a town. But still, it's my home. I'll never forget my life there. Never!

OK! A little report on what I'm doing at the moment! I'm currently on the train that terminates at my destination – Zumarik. Yes, the capital city of our country. I've been saving up for 3 years to get enough cash to make this journey. 3 years of eating nothing but stale bread (I miss my ramen). I'll be staying with an old friend of mine (that is if he doesn't forget). Once I'm settled, I'm going to study like a man possessed! Yes study! You see, I'm going to Zumarik to try for this year's State Assessed Force Examination (SAFE). It is an essential exam one needs to pass if one wants to enter a military career. My ambition is to be a general. The exam consists of 3 sections with every test worth 100 marks. To pass you need at least have an overall mark of 250.

I'm not worried about the physical test at all since I'm quite a fit person (even if I had lived on staled bread for the past 3 years!). I have a large stamina X3, if I may say so myself. But I just know I'm going to fuck up my theory! I hate written tests with a passion! This means to pass, I've got to get high marks for my interview. I have to impress the judges! Oh good God please be by my side! I mean I've never impressed anyone upon first meeting! There is a reason to why no girls want to date me! Anyway, the SAFE starts on 10th October, so I still got 21 days to prepare.

Right, I'll stop writing this rubbish now and learn my "20 top strategies to infiltrate enemy camps"…

Aaida speaks: End prologue. How does this story sound so far? Good? Bad? It's a bit short, then again I never write anything long. Blame on my attention span XP. Do comment on what you want to happen next coz be honest I only have a vague plotline. Next chapter will feature a lazy star of the original Naruto show! Brownie points for who can guess which "lazy" friend of Naruto I'm talking about XD (so easy…)
