I do not own Naruto

this is just an experiment if you guys like it I might continue


It was the first day of school for Naruto Uzumaki. He was entering his junior year at Konoha High School.

Naruto woke up to his annoying alarm clock, slamming it off his counter.

"Pick it up Naruto!" His uncle Jiraiya yelled as he heard the clock fall to the ground.

Naruto was never a morning person and he didn't want to start now, so he picked it up without a sound. He went into his bathroom got dressed and went down the stairs sitting at his table with his head in his hands.

"Naruto," Jiraiya called him. "If I make you some ramen for breakfast will you perk up to your normal self?"

Lately Naruto hadn't been himself since his parents died a few months ago. "No. I rather just starve." Naruto grabbed his book bag, got up, and went out the door with his bag over his shoulder.

"Sakuraaaa!" Her mom yelled. "Wake up! Time for school!"

Sakura Haruno got up from her bed as perky as ever and went to get dressed for school. She was extra happy since Sasuke asked her out over that summer. Since she's been on vacation for the last two weeks she hasn't seen Sasuke and couldn't wait to see him.

After she finished changing she went down the stairs sitting at the table waiting for her breakfast.

"Sakura," Her mom said setting a bagel on the table. "Me and your father have to go on a business trip for a few weeks. So you're going to have to be alone I've stocked up on things for breakfast and dinner so you're not starving."

Sakura ate only half of the bagel and left the rest on her plate. Her parents were always on trips and she was getting sick of it.

"Ok what ever." Sakura grabbed her book bag and her purse and went out the door.

Sasuke Uchiha woke up to the sound of his laughing brother, Itachi. 'Probably talking to his girlfriend.' He thought.

Sasuke went to his bathroom and got changed and sat at his table acting emotionless as normal.

"Sasuke," His mom said sitting down at the table with some cereal. "You should hang out with your brother before he goes back to college."

Sasuke gave his mom a look, shook his head and went out the door with his bag over his shoulder.

Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke all met up ten minutes on the path. They all stopped to say 'hi' to each other.

"Hey Sakura. Where have you been the last two weeks?" Sasuke asked putting his arm around Sakura's waist.

"I'm sorry Sasuke. I was going to tell you but we were out on vacation." Sakura said looking away embarrassed.

"Hey dobe!" Sasuke said facing Naruto. "What's wrong with you? You're normally jumping around telling us we're all slow!"

"Yeah, what ever." Naruto said turning and walking down the path ahead of them.

"Hey, let's all hang out after school at my house! My parents are gone so they won't bug us!" Sakura said trying to change the mood.

"That's a good idea Sakura! Dobe?" Sasuke said smiling at Sakura then smirking at Naruto.

"Shut up Sasuke!" Naruto said staring to get mad. "I really don't care what the heck we do!"

Sakura got a concerned expression on her face at Naruto's outburst and decided to just chat with Sasuke the rest of the way there.

Naruto was in a bad mood. A VERY bad mood. The way to school Sakura and Sasuke we're all mushy over each other. He leaned up against his locker waiting for his friends to get organized.

"Hey you guys!" A loud but familiar voice yelled. Naruto looked up surprised. Normally you wouldn't be able to hear that voice even if no one was in the hall.

"H-Hinata?" Naruto asked. A girl ran up to them. She had longer hair than Hinata, taller than Hinata, and more developed than Hinata.

"Hey Naruto." Hinata looked up at Naruto hoping she changed in his eyes now that she looked prettier and gained more confidence over the summer.

Sakura and Sasuke nodded her way as Naruto's head went back to looking down at the floor. Hinata looked at Naruto one last time before turning toward Sakura and Sasuke.

"What's wrong with Naruto? Normally he's running up and down the halls or pulling a prank of some kind." Hinata asked concerned.

"We have no clue. We tried not to talk to him much trying not to say the wrong thing." Sakura said stacking more books in her locker.

Naruto could hear their whole conversation but acting as if he didn't. He was sick and tired of hearing people's voices so he stood up, making some noise while doing so, startling his three friends.

"Come on you guys!" Naruto said turning to leave. "I don't want to be late for class." He walked down the hall.

All three of them turned to each other in disbelief. They were all thinking the same thing, 'Naruto is never on time to classes!'

They followed Naruto anyways, until he stopped, glaring at a kid with red hair, and light green eyes, Gaara.

Naruto and Gaara were enemies. Neither of them could stand each other.

"Gaara," Naruto said calmly. "Get out of my way!"

Gaara smirked, making Naruto even angrier. "What's wrong Naruto? Did this summer turn you into a little wuss?" Gaara laughed.

Naruto knowing what happened during his summer had tears threatening to come down his face. In a flash he had Gaara pinned against the wall.

Gaara looked up at Naruto with surprise in his eyes. 'When did he become that fast?'

Naruto had his head down staring at the floor. Around this time many people were gathered around to see what was happening.

"Gaara, I am in a bad mood now and I'm so close to knocking you unconscious." Naruto said. Just then a kid from the senior level pushed Naruto away from Gaara.

"Gaara," The kid said. "You shouldn't be in a fight on the first day of school." He looked over at Naruto and back at Gaara. "No matter what the cause. If Temari was hear you'd be in worse trouble. Just be lucky she's sick!" Then the kid walked off with Gaara.

"Naruto?" Sakura asked. "When did you become so fast?" Naruto smirked.

"Ever since that jerked pissed me off!" Naruto turned and walked into a classroom leaving the three shocked again.

Tsunade was in her office looking concerned and worried. She got up from her chair and was walking all around her office checking for anything that was abnormal.

"Tsunade?" A voice called startling Tsunade from under her desk. "What are you doing?" It was Shizune, the secretary.

"Has Naruto been around or in this office?" Tsunade asked walking around cautiously.

Shizune shook her head no and walked out the door. Tsunade was shocked and staring at the now closed door. 'Naruto isn't going to pull a prank? There must be something wrong.' She thought.

In Naruto's homeroom, Naruto was trying to block out the sounds of kids talking by putting his head down on his desk. Their teacher was always late.

"Naruto Uzumaki," A voice on the intercom said. "Report to Tsunade's office immediately."

Everyone turned in Naruto's direction and smirking. 'There's the Naruto we all know and love!' Hinata thought.

Naruto didn't know why he was going to the office he didn't even pull a single prank! 'Maybe she found out about my parents and wants to say something?'

Naruto arrived at Tsunade's office a few minutes later and sat in the waiting room.

"Hello Naruto." Shizune said grinning at Naruto. "Any new pranks that you pulled?" Naruto smirked at her, shook his head no, and put his head down waiting for Tsunade.

"Naruto," Tsunade's familiar voice called out. "I would like to see you now." Tsunade held the door open waiting for Naruto.

Naruto stood up with his hands crossed over his chest, and walked slowly to the door. Tsunade was looking over impatiently at Naruto and Naruto smirked back at her.

In study hall Sakura, Sasuke, and Hinata sat in the back corner of the room.

"Do any of you know what's wrong with Naruto?" Sakura asked.

They both shook their heads no. "I didn't hear from him since the beginning of June. When I did see him at the store or something he was always with this old man and had his head down." Hinata said leaning her head on one of her arms.

"An old man?" Sasuke said. "Not his dad? Maybe it was his grandfather or something, he might've had to take care of him and he had a depressing summer?"

'Even with an old man he has to look after Naruto wouldn't get that depressed.' Sakura thought staring out the window. 'Something has happened to Naruto and I'm going to find out!'

"Naruto," Tsunade said still cautious. "I would like to know if you done anything to this office?"

Naruto smirked then looked up and smiled politely. "Nothing except for gracing it with my presence!"

Tsunade sat down in her chair shaking her head. "Now, something is brothering you Naruto. Would you care to tell me?" She already knew about Naruto's parents. Jiraiya told her over the summer.

"None of your business!" Naruto wasn't in the mood to deal with a crabby old lady. "Even if I did tell you, there's nothing you or anybody could do for me!"

Tsunade looked over at him with pity. In Konoha, nobody took Naruto seriously because of his bad grades and bringing trouble everywhere he went.

"Could I leave now?" Naruto said standing by the door.

"No," Tsunade said. "There's a few people who are coming and you'll have to wait until they arrive." Now Tsunade was smirking, making Naruto scared of what would happen next.
