Uchiha Sasuke looked over his friend's shoulder as Shikamaru panned down the page on the lazy boy's laptop. They were currently hacking through files of information that was restricted and believed to be unreachable. But Shikamaru was a genius, and hacking into barracaded files was cake. Sure, Sasuke could hack into just about anything, though it took a little more time for him, so he had his slacker yet techno-genius friend do the electrical snooping for him, most of the time.

"Teacher, 3 o'clock," a boy with sunglasses and a high collared jacket said. Sasuke turned towards Aburame Shino and nodded. Shikamaru stashed the computer in his backpack, pulled out a deck of playing cards, and tossed the cards to Sasuke, who immediatley handed Shino, there official lookout, half the deck. They began to fake a game of war seconds before Hatake Kakashi stepped up to the three. He glanced at Shikamaru, who was faking a nap, then at Shino and Sasuke. Sasuke layed down his final cards, winning the flse game, and Shino tossed him a few peices of gum. Kakashi watched for a few seconds, observing as the two agreed on another bet, and proceeded to begin another round. Then the silver-haired man walked away, satisfied the three weren't causing trouble. The three watched him turn the corner, then relaxed, Shikamaru taking the computer out once again. Shino glanced around.

"Seen Neji? I need to speak with him," the normally silent boy said. Shikamaru and Sasuke looked at him.

"No, I haven't. Is he here today?" Sasuke said, watching as Shikamaru scrolled down the page on the screen.

"I have. He was with Kibe. I think he's supervising the guy, after we found him harrassing one of the seniors," Shikamaru said. "Honestly, if dog boy wants to get a date with one of those preps, he'll have to take a shower before he even gets a chance."

"Either that or he has to learn better pick up lines," Sasuke put in. "The last one I heard him use was something like 'I lost my cell phone number. Can I have yous?' " Shikamaru laughed slightly. Shino sighed.

"I'm gonna go find Neji," the teenage Aburame said, then walked away, side stepping every few minutes as to not step on any ants on the ground.

"Yo, Sasuke! Shikamaru! Got another guy to look up on!" a voice called, footsteps hurrying towards them. The two guys turned to see Tsuchi Kin running in their direction. The punky tomboy had her long black hair tied loosely, and it flew behind her as she ran.

"What'd you say, Kin?" Sasuke asked. Kin stopped in front of them, barely out of breath.

"There's a new kid. Just got here today. He looks really pathetic, not worth recruiting. But you should probably look him up, just to be sure he's not against us, though, by the looks of him, he probably thinks 'dope' is a stupid person," she told them. Shikamaru chuckled, and Kin gave a small, high-pitched laugh that didn't go with her appearnce at all.

"Name?" Shikamaru asked while hacking intothe government's files. Kin smiled mischeiviously.

"I swiped his notebook, looked up his name, then sold it to some girl who thought he was hot. You shoulda seen the look on her face!" the tough-looking girl exclaimed, laughing.

"Kin!" Sasuke cried, snapping her out of her joy fit. "What's the kid's name?"

"Oh, uh...Uzumaki Naruto. Yeah, that's it. Uzumaki Naruto," she said. Sasuke nodded. Shikamaru typed in the name. "You know, I think we've got ourselves a new enemy. He thinks he's a big hunk. He probably ruled his old school. I heard he just transfered from Stentson High on the far side of the city, more in the nice, rich, good ife area," Kin carried on, helping herself to some gum out of Sasuke's backpack. Sshe pulled out a stick, then tossed the pack to Sasuke himself, who also took a piece before pocketing the pack.

"You mean that preppy private school? Ha, I heard they had to wear suits there. The guy's probably a complete nerd. They have, like, 8.0 GPA standards there," Shikamaru retorted. He blew a bubble in the gum he already had.

"Well, judging on what he looks like, that's probably the reason he's here!" Kin said, laughing. Sasuke smirked, while Shikamaru chuckled again, slightly, then turned back to the computer.

"Here we go; Uzumaki Naruto: 14 years, 6'1, 109 pounds, ex-student at Stentson High, transfered 'cause he couldn't meet the standards. His mother and father divorced three years ago, and he went through a tiny bit of therapy for depression. His criminal record is clean. Looks like it's never been used," Shikamaru read lazily. "Well, looks like we got ourselves a regular 'goody-goody boy'."

"Great, he's gonna love it here," Kin said sweetly.

"Not," Sasuke coughed. Kin burst into laughter, and Shikamaru snickered, typing away on his portable computer.

Naruto strolled down the corridor, happy to be in a school where you didn't have to wear sweater vests as daily attire. A few random girls stared at hiim as he passed their lockers. He flashed a smile towards them, making one blush and wiggle her fingers at him, while another basically fainted (though it's not Hinata; she's coming up in the story, and not as Naruto's admirer). He arrived at his locker and began to mess with the lock, though, hard as he tried, the little combination wouldn't click. He heard a snicker beside him and turned to see a boy with scruffy brown hair and a bulky jacket, and a girl with brown hair tied into buns on her head.

"Having a hard time, Flash?" the boy asked mockingly.

"Flash?" Naruto said in confusion. The girl giggled.

"Your hair's like a spotlight, man!" she told him. The boy pushed Naruto aside and began fiddling with Naruto's lock, having it open in seconds. He laughed, then turned back to his own, pulling out a few books and a... dog biscuit. Naruto watched, fascinated, as the boy held the cookie by his neck and whistled quietly.

"Hey, Akamaru," the guy said into his coat. Suddenly, the cream-colored jacket began towiggle, nd the head of a small puppy poked ouot, eagerly taking the biscuit. The boy rubbed the dog's head with his left hand while sticking his ight towards Naruto, offering a handshake. Naruto took it. "Name's Inuzuka Kiba,and this is Akamaru. Who're you?" the boy said.

"Uzumaki Naruto. This is my first day," Naruto answered. He turned to the girl. "And you are...?"

"Tenten," she told him, shaking his hand as well.(I don't know what her last name is!) She then turned to Kiba. "Sasuke needed me for something. I'm gonna go find him, ok?" she told him. He nodded.

"Hey, tell him I got that info Shikamaru needed. And that I am extremely offended from the shower head I found in my locker. How he got my combo, I have no idea, but putting sshower head in it? Come on, it's because my old man smokes this special kind of cigar made from some kind of root from some weird plant," Kiba called as she walked away. Tenten lifted her hand in reaction, signaling she had heard. Kiba turned back to his locker, then noticed Naruto watching him. Hefaced the blonde, looking him over. "You know, you'd best stay away from Sasuke. He hates people like you. Plus, you're the kind that probably likes Hinata."

"Hinata? And who the heck is Sasuke?!"

"Well, he's a higher-up here at Konoha. He and his group basically control everything to some extent, and most of the group are shit-mouthed troublemakers, if I say it nicely," Kiba explained, taking a science book out of his locker.

"Wait, aren't you part of-"

"Hell yeah! I'm up near the top, too. I practically run this school! My dad's on the school board, and he let's me do anything I want." Pause. "Hey, don't get the idea that we're the preps. That's probably the group you will end up in. They control al the superficial crap. Yamanak Ino will probably try to pull you into her clutch, judging on how those girls reacted when you walked by. She's hitting on Sasuke, but will take almost any high-ranking guy to boost her preppy popularity. Her and Haruno Sakura," Kiba continued. The bell rang. "Oh, better get to class. Who do you have first?" Naruto looked at his schedule.

"Um... Master Jiraiya, room 143, Math."

"That's who I have. C'mon, I'll show you. And I warn you, he's a real perv, so we'll end up doing nothing while he reads porn cap and sneks glances at the girlsin the room." Kiba turned to start walking.

"Wait, if you're part of... whoever's group-"

"Sasuke."

"Yeah, whatever. If you're part of his grouop, why are you talking to me?"

"You're not a prep yet, are you?" The two guys headed off towards room 143.
