Bound for Romance

-Chapter One-

Disclaimer: No I do not own Naruto. (Cries softly while reading Naruto manga)

Summary: This story loosely follows the manga, but with several changes. For instance Naruto will be wearing a suit like his normal one but red and longer around the ankles, he will be a lot smarter and won't be so dense, Sasuke will be more of a friend, but still a rival. Naruto will still be hated by the villagers, but will have a few friends and to be a Genin you have to be fourteen years old.


" … " Speech' … ' Thought … Dream


The blond haired ninja in training woke up from the alarm clock ringing noisily, he smashed the top of the clock squashing it. The fourteen-year-old laid in his futon for several minutes, thinking about what he was going to do today.

He looked over to the fridge and got up. The demon boy walked over to fridge and opened it, blinded by the light he grabbed some cup ramen. Stealthily he moved over to his kettle, poured water into it and turned it on. A squeal was heard from the kettle and Naruto walked over to it, poured it into the ramen. The boy waited three minutes for the ramen to cook as his greatest dislike was to wait for the ramen to cook.

After it cooked Naruto proceeded it devour it. After the hearty meal (by Naruto's standards) he stared at a tin of paint and an evil idea came to his head. He jumped over his wardrobe, grabbed his normal garb of a red tracksuit. The trousers went down to his ankles, the top up to his neck with a whistle and he picked out a pair of black boots. With his clothes on he walked over to the tin of paint, picked it up and ambled out of the door.

Naruto strolled down the road with his neck slumped down, as he walked he got many glares and heard many comments about him, he simply swallowed his pride and carried on. The sound of two girls shouting caught Naruto's attention, he turned around to see Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino arguing again.

"Okay let's start this race then Ino-pig."

"Winner loves Sasuke-kun more, forehead-girl."

They stood staring at each other, Naruto could feel the electricity between their eyes. The two girls made a line in the ground and stood in running positions. The both ran, Sakura started in the lead, with Ino taking over, Sakura overtook again, Ino stole the lead, Sakura, Ino, Sakura and Ino are neck and neck. Naruto chuckled at this spectacle, carried on down the street with his tin of paint.

"NARUTO WATCH OUT." The two girls screeched

"What the -."

The demon vessel and the two angry females collided with each other. The paint flew from Naruto's hand and spilled all over the floor. Spectators of this commented of this with remarks like 'Hooligans' and 'Stupid kids', Naruto got up and dusted himself off.

"Do you need any help getting up Sakura-chan." Naruto asked

"Not from you." She replied quickly

Naruto smiled, shrugged and walked off. Now that the girls had spilt the paint, Naruto thought that he might as well go to the academy. As he walked along the dusty road he heard Ino and Sakura racing again, he thought about how childish this was, he knew Sasuke didn't want either of them. He knew the only secret Sasuke ever told anyone, about whom he loved.

Many students poured into the academy, one being Uchiha Sasuke. He sat down in the classroom surrounded by many fan girls all screaming and shouting. The number one rookie glanced over to Hyuuga Hinata, the one he loved.

'I wish she would notice me. If it weren't for that dobe, she would probably be like this. That's probably why I like her so much.'

"Hey Sasuke-jerk." shouted a familiar voice

"What's up dobe?" Sasuke answered back

"Not much really."

Naruto sat down next to Sasuke, Iruka came into the class so the fan girls all sat down.

"Right everyone is going to do the Henge no Jutsu into me." The sensei said

Everyone sighed this was basic.

"First up Aburame Shino." barked the sensei

Shino walked up to the sensei, did the hand seal and transformed into him.

"Good, Next up Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka said while reading from the list.

"Good luck, dobe." whispered Sasuke

Naruto walked to the same spot Shino was, performed the same hand seal and shouted "HENGE." A beautiful (although naked) blonde girl appeared. The teacher stared at this monstrosity that the demon boy had created and fell over anime style with a nosebleed. Sasuke laughed quietly at his friend and rival's technique. (ATN: Naruto can do this well, he is more of a well-trained ninja in this story, but I decided he messes it up on it for comedy, although he still wants everyone to notice him by becoming Hokage.).

"Whaddya think then Iruka-sensei, I call it Sexy no Jutsu, just the right thing for a pervert like you." laughed Naruto

Iruka flipped back on to his legs and shouted "NARUTO YOU IDIOT DON'T CREATE SUCH STUPID TECHNIQUES."

Naruto shrugged and sat back down at the back the class. He watched the rest of the class transforming into their teacher, while a certain heir of the Hyuuga clan sat watching him.

'Naruto-kun you tried your best.'

After the little 'test' the class sat back down. Iruka started a speech on techniques to hide from the enemy and successfully ambush them, Sasuke and Naruto both had a kunai and an exploding tag each. They both wrapped the tag round the handle of the kunai, nodded to each other and shouted out.

"IRUKA-SENSEI WE SAW SOMETHING OUTSIDE."

The gullible teacher turned to the window, while the two pranksters threw the kunai at him. He jumped out of the way, while the two kunai made holes in the floor. Everyone started laughing at the sensei, though he didn't find it just as funny.

"YOU TWO DETENTION AFTER THE DAY HAS FINISHED." shouted the rather annoyed teacher.

Several hours pass and Naruto is asleep in the classroom. On the oppisite end of the room Sasuke is sitting there with his hands pressed together, thinking deeply about her.


Author's Notes

Yeah I'm probably gonna get flamed real bad for making Sasuke and Naruto friends. I will also probably get flamed for making Sasuke like Hinata. But as this is my story I can do what I want so naaa. Please review so I can make it better in future chapters.
