Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

A sleepy blonde growled at the intrusion of the sun upon his face as a new day started. The boy sighed as he crawled out of his warm nest, knowing that he needed to get up, lest he be late for his first day at his new school. He had heard great things about this place; Konohagakure, a small village located by the mountains yet still enclosed by a forest. A relatively small place, this village was, but this was the kind of place that the male liked the most.

"Naruto" read the box playing host to his uniform while occupying his desk's chair. The new owner of said box and its contents sighed as he tore open the cardboard structure and pulled out its insides. He sighed again; dark blue was not his favorite. Still, something as simple as the colour of his new attire was not enough to get Naruto out of his unusually perky mood.

So, the blonde boy pulled on the outfit before sticking his head out of his bedroom window and reveling in the fresh morning air. Yes, moving to Konohagakure had been a wise choice indeed. He watched as a few people walked leisurely by, waving to others as they passed in what appeared to be their morning ritual. Nice people; just like he had heard. This place's only detriment was probably the mayor, the woman running all of this. From what people said, she was apparently very temperamental and had a bad gambling problem (the problem being that she lost almost every single time she played). Though, people also liked to talk about her breakthroughs in medicinal studies, her big heart for the people she ruled over and the physical strength that she used only against those who threatened the village.

The boy's alarm clock beeped at him in reminder that he still had somewhere to be, causing Naruto to hit his head on the window pane as he brought back in the appendage. He looked at the loud device and the time it displayed before scampering out of his room to finish getting ready.

With a final fleeting look in the mirror at his appearance, the boy grabbed his house keys, grimace still in place at the lack of orange found in his new wardrobe, and fled out of the house, lest he not make it to school on time for his initial entry.

Naruto braced himself before entering the classroom, his thoughts immersing themselves in thoughts of the orange jumpsuit he had abandoned in the dark closet of his new room. He shook his head, ridding himself of the thoughts as he made his initial appearance. No one looked as he entered the room, he was the only one observing anything new, everyone was too absorbed in their friends and what they did over the weekend to really care who he was, but that doesn't mean that he wasn't interested in them.

The innovative man saw so many estranged things that his eyes almost couldn't comprehend everything he was seeing, so he simply closed his eyes and started at the far corner of the room which happened to be inhabited by a cluster of females. He absorbed a few details about these characters, like the fact that one of them had pink hair and was arguing with a platinum blonde, the pair trying to be brought back to a peaceful state by a timid looking girl, before moving on to the next grouping of people. By the time Naruto got through the class he surmised that way too many people had fetishes for tattoos and other eccentric items, for example there was a red head with the "Love" tattoo on his forehead that contradicted the glare he was sporting, and he seemed to have a vial of sand attached to a string and slung around his neck. He was just one of them. From his quick sweep of the classroom, Naruto had inferred two things: 1) That his class was full of freaks ranging from the shy girl trying to stop the quarrel between her two friends to that of the slightly animalistic and tattoo bearing loud mouthed male and 2) That there was a perfect seat for him in the back of the classroom.

The blonde made his way through rows of people and pre-made cliques to his sought seat, only now noticing the stare of the androgynous male sitting near the broody red head. He claimed the desk before shooting the long haired boy a fox-like grin, the male simply shaking his head as if the blonde was stupid before whispering something to the guy on the opposing side of the sand-wearing boy.

The new kid continued to scan the classroom, taking note on some of the habits his new peers had, like the kid asleep on his desk or the one beside him who was gnawing on yet another bag of BBQ chips, though none of these people caught his eye like the guy who had just sauntered into the room. This guy made Naruto smile a devious and manic smile that only grew bigger as the black haired male strode towards him, a scowl adorning his face. Yes, Naruto was glad he moved to Konohagakure for if nothing else, this year would be fun.

A/N: This is my revised version of this story. Sorry for any and all who've read it before. Slightly longer than the first copy, but I do believe that this one is loads better. Hope you enjoyed it. The other chapters will soon be revised like this one has been. What do you think of the better than before first High School fanfiction ever?

On top of this being newly written it has also been graced with the hand of Animefreak4261; my beta.

This story will be progressing slowely for the first 3 chapters due to it being rewritten with some semblance of a plot now. The chapter title in the blueish bar thing wil tell you if the next chapter has been redone yet. Thank you.

Review?
