Another Important AN: This society is sort of related to the Naruto world. There are still bloodlines and talking creatures but they are all either work in the military, police, or business. There are Kages for the major cities: Leaf, Sand, Mist, Cloud, and Stone. They act like the president, reside in the major city of their region, and take care of those in their region. Every city has its own policies and security with Konoha having the Uchiha as the head of the military and police.

Surprises and Class Schedules

'How big is this damn place?' Sakura thought as she walked in. She saw the group in front of her arguing and completely oblivious that she and Sasuke arrived late. She looked at a map placed on her right which showed all the floors.

'5 friggin floors? I don't wanna walk a lot of stairs. This place is friggin big too.' Sakura whined inwardly.

The first floor held the main office, which was the hallway on her left. The other doors on the hallway contained important offices such as the nurse's office, the dean's office, the PA room, etc. To her right were more offices. In the front was a grand door that led to a beautiful courtyard and further down was the cafeteria. The courtyard had one huge oak tree in the middle and plants planted everywhere. There were benches all around and to the right of the courtyard was a ramp that led to the gym, indoor swimming pools, basketball courts, and a field for multiple sports. To the left was a huge ramp that led to a grand staircase which led to the 2nd floor. Bathrooms, stairs, and elevators were scattered all over. For convenience, the 2nd floor was History and English, the 3rd floor was Math and Science classes, and the 4th floor was all the extra classes such as culinary, arts, and music. The 5th floor used for storage purposes.

"Don't you dare touch her Naruto." growled Neji. Sakura snapped out of her daze on the map and looked at the group with confusion.

'Is he some overprotective brother or something?' she thought, looking curiously and Tenten answered for her.

"He's her cousin. He hates Naruto cause he makes Hinata faint every now and then."

"Whaat? I was just telling Hinata-chan that her hair looks pretty today-" Neji growled at him and Hinata blushed. Sakura walked back to the group, giving them an odd look.

"As much as I want to get to know you guys more, I really need my schedule."

"But what about the tour!" Naruto asked loudly.

"Photographic memory. I memorized the map already." Sakura tapped her head.

"Already? Damn, that big forehead is actually some use to you. We should get going then, forehead-girl." Ino teased.

Sakura glared at her. Her forehead was always a target for teasing when she was a little kid so she still had some insecurities about it.

"At least I'm not a pig!"

Ino gasped.

"I am not a pig!"

"Yeah you are, Ino-pig."

"No I'm not!"

With each word, they got closer and angrier.

"Yeah you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"Ino-pig!" Sakura poked her chest.

"Forehead-girl!" Ino poked her forehead.

"Ino-pig!" - poke-

"Forehead-girl!" -poke-

"Ino-"

"SHUT UP!" Tenten yelled. "Don't you need your schedule? This stupid banter sounds like Sasuke and Naruto and I can only put up with one for my life."

"Hey!" Naruto yelled and Tenten glared at him. Sakura glared at Ino and the two marched off together. However, after a short while they cooled off and talked some more. Sakura realized that Ino wasn't that bad and reminded her of Deidara except she was more tolerable and fun to argue with. On the way to the principal's office, both girls realized how compatible they were and knew that they would soon be close friends. They walked into the principal's office only to see the principal sleeping. There were sake bottles littered on her table and unfilled papers. The only sound in the room was her snoring, to which Sakura sweatdropped. Ino shook her head and pressed a button to call up her assistant, who was also the nurse.

"What happened? Oh, a new student. I'm Shizune, the principal's assistant and nurse." said the dark-haired woman as she walked in. "Ah, I thought I hid the bottles well this time. Oh no, I'm sorry that you have to see her in such a state."

She then walked over to the seemingly young blonde who had her face covered. She took out an airhorn and signaled the girls to cover their ears. They did and she blew it right in her ear.

"GRAAAAHH! WHAT THE FUCK!" she screamed and Sakura saw a familiar face.

Blonde hair, check.

Diamond on the forehead, check.

Voluptuous figure, check.

Smells like sake, check.

Terrible temper, check.

"Tsunade-shishou? What in heaven's name are you doing here? You told me you got another job but not this." Sakura said in disbelief.

Tsunade glared at Shizune before trying to control her voice and posture. She wasn't surprised at all that Sakura was here.

"Ah, Sakura. It has been years since I've seen you. Just blame old man Sarutobi, he got the Hokage to give me this position a long time ago for stupid reasons. I'm sorry I had to leave suddenly, but I figured that they would have taken good care of you."

Tsunade wasn't fully involved in the Akatsuki. She did a little bit of business with them knowing that Pein would need some help after she and Jiraiya taught him and Konan all they knew. They took Pein and Konan in and when the two were older, they decided to create an organization that would assassinate corrupt/horrible people because of their bad experiences when they were younger. Akatsuki eventually rose as the deadliest assassins and made a side profit by selling drugs, their only criminal offense. Their killing criminals helped the government even if they didn't like it.

She saw Sakura at the base when she was just 12 and trained her for 3 years. Sakura still lived at Akatsuki's HQ and did missions but her training with Tsunade made her a more formidable foe. After training, she had super strength and incredible speed. Her knowledge of medicine was both good and bad; she knew many cures but she also knew many poisons.

"You know Tsunade?" Ino asked.

"Yeah, she taught me some medical stuff. It's no big deal. I'm interested in medicine and the medical field so it was a bonus." Sakura replied, hoping she would buy it. Tsunade realized her intentions and quickly changed topics.

"Anyways, here Sakura. This is your schedule and I'm sure you know your way around already. Thank god for that photogenic memory of yours." Tsunade laughed a bit but Sakura had a mischievous glint in her eye.

"Are you sure? Maybe I can tell them of the time when you were in the spa and you thought-" Sakura promptly dodged the empty sake bottle thrown at her and snickered at Tsunade.

"Shut that mouth of yours, Haruno. Now go get to class before I change your schedule and make sure you have the most horrible teachers." Tsunade growled. Sakura just laughed again and left the office with Ino. The mood swings Tsunade had were funny sometimes.

"You guys know that Sakura knows Tsunade? Apparently she was her teacher for a bit or something..." Ino 's words trailed off as she sweatdropped, looking at the scene in front of her.

Sasuke and Naruto were glaring at each other while Neji and Shikamaru argued about fate and destiny. Tenten looked like she was ready to kill someone but Hinata held her back. However, Ino's statement caught the attention of the others.

"REALLY? Obaa-chan taught you? Hahahaha that just shows how old she is!" Naruto bellowed, once again oblivious to the consequences.

"I'm not your obaa-chan and I'm not old, Uzumaki! Shut that mouth of yours before I do it for you!" Tsunade yelled from her office. Naruto just laughed and asked Sakura for her schedule. She gave it to him and he beamed.

4th-Art with Sasori/Deidara

Lunch

5th-Biology with Jiraiya

6th-History with Yuki Tokugawa

'What the hell is grumpy, barbie, Yuki, and Sasori doing here! This is going to be a long year.' Sakura thought, astonished. However, Naruto broke her out of her musings.

"YAY! It seems we all, including the others not here, have the same block and section. It's luck I say! We all also Kaka-sensei for homeroom. Me, you, and Sasuke-teme have 1st but the others have Asuma. We all have Gym together unlike some other people who manage to have different periods and get Yamato or some other less crazy teacher. But it seems like only you and Sasuke have Itachi-teme together. We either have Ikibi- thank god I don't have him cause he's scary as hell- or Iruka, who is pretty nice. You have Art by yourself and the teme, lazy ass, fake ass, and ice cube have computers. The other boys got robotics but only cause they took computers last year and we took robotics last year. The girls all have culinary with me! Yay, food with Hinata-chan! OW, why'd you hit me?" Naruto explained but yelled when Neji hit him. Hinata was as red as a tomato.

(AN: To make things less confusing, the rest of the gang will all have different classes. By 'luck' the group of friends were able to have the same subjects. The Blocks refer to certain parts of the school. There are 3 Blocks in total that divide the teachers and students. This was just so the students didn't get confused. The Blocks are further divided by Sections a, b, and c so the students classes would be more diverse..)

"You're going to make her faint." Neji growled but Tenten just held his arm to hold him back.

"If you hit him anymore he'll be more stupid." she laughed.

At this, Neji had a very faint blush that was seen by Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, Hinata, and Sakura. Sasuke smirked and made a quiet whipping noise and Neji glared at him.

'Oh my, romance in the making. Naruto with Hinata and Neji with Tenten. That's cute. Shikamaru already has a girlfriend and from what Ino seems like a player from what I learned about her. Seems like Sasuke's all alone.' she snickered inwardly.

'We can fix that. Mmmmm look at his body, just imagine how it would feel under our tongue and-' Sakura's Inner broke out once more but Sakura promptly knocked her unconscious, the horror on her face.

'How she gets out, I never know.'

"Just exactly how many teachers are here?" Sakura asked.

"Well, there's over 100 classes on each floor." Ino replied. "Which means a crap ton of teachers but even more students. How we all fit in the school is beyond me."

Sasuke grabbed the schedule and said, "You and the girls, including Temari, have biology with Jiraiya, who is a total perv. Me, dumb ass, smart ass, fake ass, and lazy ass have biology with Orochimaru-"

"Who is creepy as hell! I swear he has a thing for boys." Naruto interrupted before Sasuke glared at him. Naruto shut his mouth.

"Another question, what are three legendary soldiers doing here?" Sakura asked. She understood Tsunade but not Orochimaru and Jiraiya. The three were responsible for ending the war between the Konoha and Kiri, also known as the Mist city.

"Sarutobi called it a mandatory retirement plan. Tsunade loathes it but it seems like Jiraiya and Orochimaru are fine with it. I think we all know why." Shikamaru snickered and they laughed. Tsunade hated work but Jiraiya would take any chance to do research and Orochimaru would love being able to stare at kids and not get in trouble. Well, not big trouble. Sasuke then continued explaining her schedule and who she had it with.

"You have history with me, the lazy ass, the dumb ass, the smart ass, the fake ass, and the girls including Temari. Who is Tokugawa? I heard she's a good teacher for being new." Sakura thought back to when she and Yuki met while the three boys glared at Sasuke.

There are only 3 girls in the Akatsuki and that's Konan, Yuki, and Sakura. Where Sakura had a very tragic life and was picked up by the Akatsuki, Yuki had chosen to be in the Akatsuki herself. She was more powerful than most of the guys due to her speed, which was superior over Itachi's and but not as fast as the current Hokage, Minato Namikaze. She was one of the most well known assassins throughout the land, and others gave her the name 'The Shadow'. Her wits and speed made up for what she lacked in strength, which meant she hunted in the shadows more than direct contact. Despite having such a dark lifestyle, she is actually very bubbly, teasing, and loving; the exact opposite of a gang member.

'Why the hell is she teaching? Probably got blackmailed from leader.' Her Inner laughed at that.

"Who's the fake ass you speak of? Naruto mentioned him too." Sakura asked again and Naruto grinned widely.

"Imagine a guy like Sasuke. Arrogant, bastard-ish, and an asshole but with short, straight black hair. He doesn't have the chicken but hairstyle and he always speaks his mind with those fake smiles of his. Creepy I say." Naruto replied for her but was hit on the head by Sasuke and glared at by Ino.

"Tch, idiot." Sakura laughed at his description.

"Is Itachi, Deidara, and Sasori new?" she asked, wanting to know when they started working.

"Itachi-sensei's been here for a few years and only has classes before lunch. I believe Sasori and Deidara are new. If you wanted to know about Tokugawa-sensei too, then she's been here for around the same amount of time as Itachi-sensei. " Neji replied, still glaring at Naruto who childishly glared back.

'A few years, huh. Better talk to her when I see her. This is why I don't see her much.' Sakura thought.

"T-the bell is g-going t-to ring s-soon." Hinata said, hiding behind Neji. Naruto roared at Sasuke, yelling at him that he could beat him there. Sasuke grunted and smirked, never wanting to miss a chance at beating the idiot.

"3, 2, 1. GO!" screamed Naruto and they zoomed up the stairs.

The others just took their time and talked with each other. Sakura sweatdropped.

'At least I won't be bored for the rest of the year. I still have another year after that. ' she inwardly sighed. 'I wonder what Dei-chan has for me...'

She's in for one hell of a year, that's for sure.
