Time skip fast forward 5 years
The sun came streaming in through the blinds of a small window onto a bundle of blankets on a bed. The digital clock on the nightstand next to the single bed read 4.59AM. A few seconds later the clock changed to read 5.00AM and started to beep, you know the annoying beeping all alarm clocks make. A tanned hand reached out from under the bundle to hit the irritating object.
Getting up, a figure emerged from the blankets and stretched and yawned. The figure belonged to a boy of about ten years of age. The child had toned muscles rippling under his tanned skin. For his age he was about average height, standing at 4'7". Blinking the blonde stands up and scans the floor with his blue eyes.
(author's note : if anyone was confused 4'7" = 4 foot 7 inches.)
Eventually finding what he is looking for, he silently glides towards a crumpled shirt on the floor before bending down to pick it up and putting it on. He ruffles he blonde locks and exits the room and lightly shutting the door behind him.
Out in the corridor he boy squints adjusting to the brighter light and makes a left turn and opens a cupboard. Taking a towel he continues down the hall and goes into another room.
This room is bare except for the mirrors along the wall across from the door and the tami mats covering the floor. The child lets a small smile grace his lips and walks further into the room.
.-.
"BRAT! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE OR THERE'LL BE NO FOOD LEFT FOR YOU!" a female voice yells from somewhere downstairs.
Groaning and exiting the bare room the youth yells back "GIVE ME TEN MINUTES BA-CHAN!" (author offers a cookie for those who have guessed who the 'child' is )
Going right, the blonde walks back into his room and into the adjoining bathroom. Quickly stripping himself and stepping into the shower he turns the hot tap first and then slowly adjusts the cold water. Scrubbing himself down rapidly and rinsing off the soap suds, he turns off the water. Stepping out of the shower and grabbing a towel he dries himself. A sudden realization hits Naruto, 'Wait. When did Ba-chan get back?' he thought walking out into his room, 'If she's back that means the perv is back too, now that's just great.' He thought sarcastically. Finding a black baggy shirt and orange pants (like in the anime) and putting them on he heads back out into the hall while attempting to dry his hair as he heads down stairs.
Naruto was used to his godparents frequently coming and going, only staying for a few days, maybe a week at longest. This had been going on since he was five, when the Sandaime had picked him up from that alley with Jiraiya.
The bottom of the stairs led into a kitchen. At the stove was a busty blonde woman and at the counter sat a white haired man.
"You took your time brat." Growled the female.
"Relax Tsunade-hime. He got here in less than ten minutes." The man grinned at the new comer, "Hi-ya brat."
"Jiryiya shut up." Tsunade says rubbing her temples as she dishes out scrambled eggs onto three plates and sets them down at the counter where Jiriya is sitting. The boy plasters a grin on his face, "Morning to you too Ba-chan, Perv." He says as he sits down at the counter.
"Naruto, you want juice or coffee?" Tsunade asks, she is now standing at the fridge, which is next to the stove, holding the door open.
"Juice please." He says picking up a fork and starts to eat the eggs.
"Hime! One for me too!" Tsunade glares at Jiriya but says nothing and brings out a bottle of orange juice, setting it next to Naruto, and opening a cupboard under the counter and brings out 3 glasses, placing one in front of each person. Naruto then proceeds to pour out the juice.
A comfortable silence falls over the group as they eat.
"So how long will you be staying this time?" Naruto asks with a little hope in him voice.
"Not long, a few days, maybe a week." Jiriya says, and quickly adds "No you cannot come with us when we leave."
Naruto pouts a little before realizing, "Hey where's Shizu-nee and Ton-ton?"
"She's gone to the market to stock up your fridge." Tsunade answers, scooping another mouth full. Naruto nods and glances at the clock on the wall 'shit its 8'. Quickly finishing his meal, Naruto gets up and heads back towards the stairs calling out over his shoulder, "Thanks for breakfast Ba-chan" and disappearing up the stairs back to his room to get ready for the academy.
.-.
"You think he suspects anything?" Tsunade hissed at Jiraiya.
"I highly doubt it Hime." Jiraiya shrugged.
"I hope you're right." Tsunade said collecting all the remaining plates and placed them in the sink and started washing them. A few minutes later an orange blur flew past through the kitchen only stopping at the door. "BYE BA-CHAN, PERV!" Naruto yelled to the two sannin as he hopped out the door pulling on his shoes.
"STOP RUNNING IN THE HOUSE BRAT!" Tsunade yelled after her fellow blonde.

Elsewhere (Naara residence)
"NAARA SHIKAMARU! IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR ASS INTO GEAR YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE YOUNG MAN! ITS ALREADY 8!" Shikamaru's mother, Yoshino yelled from the bottom of the stairs leading up to the bedrooms in her house. She could hear some shuffling coming from above and a distinct murmur of 'troublesome', smirking Yoshino walks back to the kitchen and goes about setting the dining table, placing hot food down. Seated at the table were a young boy of about four years and an older boy of about thirteen years. The older boy was snickering as he ate, while the younger of the two just looked bored as he tried to scoop his cereal like his older brother.
Yoshino shot the older boy a glare and said, "You Naara Shikahito need to hurry up if you're going to get to your team meeting on time." (Shikahito looks like Shikamaru only older with rounder eyes and hair not in a 'pineapple' style but something like a number 3 haircut. He is about 5'2" tall.)
The thirteen year old immediately started to eat his breakfast. Looking at her youngest son she smiled and sat next to him, "Here like this Yoshi-chan." Yoshino chuckles as she helps the little boy scoop his food, causing the child to pout. (Again, 'Yoshi-chan' looks like Shikamaru only a LOT younger and chubby and not lazy, hence nickname 'Yoshi'. Note his full name is Shikayo.) Just then a boy of about ten years old walks in and plops himself onto an empty chair next to Yoshino.
"Morning troublesome mother." came the lazy greeting from Shikamaru. The lazy boy was lean like all ninja children who took their training seriously. He was tall for his age, standing at about 4'11" with messy black hair falling about his shoulders. Stifling the oncoming yawn, Shikamaru poured himself some cereal and milk and started eating his breakfast.
The Naara family continued their breakfast in silence. "Thanks Mom." Shikahito said getting up and placing his bowl in the sink. Ruffling Yoshi's hair and nodding at Shikamaru, Shikahito turns to leave. "Hito-kun, do you know what rank mission you'll get today?" Yoshino asks just as her oldest son was about to leave.
"No troublesome woman. If I get another 'C-ranked' I'll let you know somehow." Shikahito said closing the main door behind him. "BECAREFUL!" Yoshino yelled and turned to her youngest, "Yoshi-kum, when you grow up, I seriously hope you do NOT turn out like your two brothers."
"Hai Ka-san!" Yoshi said with a smile. Getting up the matriarch stands behind her second son, a hand extend in front of his face as if expecting something. Shikamaru raises his left hand and Yoshino takes the hair tie that was placed around his wrist. Whipping out a comb from a pocket in her pants she was wearing, Yoshino proceeds to comb her lazy son's hair up into his signature pineapple style. Tapping her son's shoulder to signal that she is done, she collects the used dishes and moves to the sink to wash them.
Shikamaru excuses himself, walking past Shikayo, he helps his little brother scoop up some cereal and smiles at the pouting face before shuffling back to his room, to get ready for the academy.
Heading back down a few minutes later, the lazy boy silently heads to the main entrance and slowly puts on his shoes.
"Honey, you have your homework right?" Yoshino asks her son from the door way of the kitchen.
Shikamaru just waves one of his hands, "Yes, troublesome mother. I'll be going now." he replies in a bored tone poking his head back into the kitchen he waves to the little boy still trying to eat his cereal.
"BYE SHIKA-NI-CHAN!" Yoshi yells as Shikamaru walks out the door.
.-.
(author's note : they are all wearing what they were wearing when they were in the academy. Too lazy to describe them all)
Taking a walk around the Naara clan compound, Shikamaru spots a lone figure in orange leaning on the fence belonging to the deer pasture. Smirking, the Naara lazily waves to the person. The person waves back and gets off the fence.
"Ohayo" Naruto greets the taller boy.
"Ohayo"
The two walked in silence side by side, until just before the start of the commercial district. "See you in class Shika." Naruto says, signaling that he would be taking a detour. The blonde had frequently done this, and the Naara didn't know why, he had his suspicions but didn't question his friend about it figuring that the blonde would tell him when he felt like it. Walking into the street, Shikamaru stuffs his hands in the pockets of his ninja pants and leans against a building. A few minutes later, a chubby boy of about 4'9" walks out of the building Shikamaru was leaning against.
"Ohayo Shikamaru." Choji greeted his lazy friend with a smile.
"Ohayo Choji."
"Come on let's get going or we'll be late. I think we're getting a new sensei today." Choji informed his friend taking the lead towards the academy.
"Mendona" Shikamaru muttered following his friend, 'I just want to watch clouds with Choji… or play shogi with Naru.'
.-.
When Shikamaru and Choji arrived at the academy they headed straight for their class room. Kids littered the yard, choruses of 'ohayo' and 'good mornings' came from all directions as the majority of the schools populace had arrived and many merely waiting for their friends to arrive before heading to the class rooms. The younger students were being dropped off by parents or older guardians. The two boys reached the class room with no problems. Entering and headed for their usual seats at the back. Shikamaru nods to the Aburame and takes the seat next to him.
"Ohayo Aburame-san" Choji says as he takes the seat next to Shikamaru.
Shino nods back at Shikamaru as he sits and mutters "Good morning to you to, Akimichi-san"
The three sit in silence. Shino quietly observing his class mates as they enter the class. Boisterous classmates greeted one another as they entered and sat near friends. Shikamaru look as if he were asleep, and Choji was munching on some chips.
"MORNING FELLAS!" Kiba yelled as he sat next to Choji.
'Ahh there goes the quiet.' Thought Shino, nodding to the loud Inuzuka in acknowledgement.
"Troublesome. Do you have to be so loud in the morning Inuzuka?" Shikamaru muttered.
"Good morning Kida-san" Choji said in between munches.
"Uzumaki late again?" Kiba asked his friends.
"It looks to be so, Inuzuka-san." Shino replied pushing his glasses up his face.
"Shino, how many times have we gone over this? I've told you to call me by my first name! And stop with the '-san', makes me feel old." Kiba groaned.
Shino's smirk did not go unnoticed by Shikamaru when he replied, "I feel more comfortable calling you by your surname Inuzuka-san"
'Tc., Sadistic bastard. Seriously starting to regret introducing Shino to Naruto now.' Shikamaru thought. Just then the classroom door slid open and a chunnin walked in, 'That must be the new teacher. Troublesome.'
The chunnin was tanned and had a scar running across his nose and hair in a style similar to Shikamaru's. The room went quiet, many pairs of eyes watching the new person walk to the blackboard.
"Good morning class. My name is Umino Iruka. You can call me Umino-sensei or Iruka-sensei. I've been a chunnin for about 5 years now and I sincerely hope we all get along." The chunnin said with a warm smile.
The smile disappeared quickly as the door slammed opened at that moment, "GOMENASAI FOR BEING LATE!" a loud voice yelled. It was Naruto. 'Hmm… he looks… almost like he got into a fight' Shikamaru noted.
Iruka slightly glared at the orange clad boy, "No not late, I just started introducing myself. I am your new instructor, please take a seat Uzumaki so we can start."
Naruto just flashed a sheepish smile and rubbed the back of his head as he headed to the back of the classroom and sat next to Kiba.
"Alright I'll take the roll now. Raise your hand or shout out to let me know who you are." Iruka announced picking up a piece of paper.
"Dude, you know the new teach or something?" Kiba whispered to Naruto.
"Akimichi Choji?" Iruka called.
"Nah. He must be one of those chunnin who always chase me after my pranks." Naruto whispered back.
"Here." The chubby boy replied raising his hand.
Kiba just nodded.
The roll calling went on with people raising their hands and letting the new teacher know that they were present.
.-.
The morning lessons went by smoothly, Iruka had to call on Shikamaru a few times for falling asleep and Naruto and Kiba for talking in his class, but otherwise it was uneventful. The five friends were now relaxing on the school's roof top.
Shino and Shikamaru were having a shogi match (Shikamaru winning), and Choji watching the game silently munching on his chips occasionally giving his comments to Shino about the moves he should or shouldn't make. The game was interesting for Shikamaru as his two friends were making a few interesting moves together. Glancing at the duo on the side he frowned, 'What troublesome thing are they up to now?'
Shino caught his friend's frown and glanced at the pair on the side as well, taking in the blonde's smirked, 'Well looks like something interesting will happen soon… maybe I'll keep a camera handy…'
Chojii noticed his friends lack of attention to their game and glanced at his two loud friends who were being awfully quiet. 'A quiet Naruto equals trouble for some poor person.' Choji thought sympathizing with whoever was the unlucky chap that would be at the pranksters' mercy.
A moment later the three saw Naruto smirk, and shivered.
'Oh this does not look good.' They all thought.
.-.
Kiba and Naruto were plotting their next joint prank on the side.
"So what do you have in mind Fox-boy?" Kiba asked his friend. He had asked Naruto why he smelted like foxes some time last year, the blonde just shrugged and told him that he was born during the Kyuubi attack and that was probably why. Kiba just took that explaination.
"I was thinking we target the duck butt." Naruto said smirking.
Kiba gapped, "You want to die? If those fan-girls of his find us even attempting to harm 'their Sasuke-kun'…" he shuddered.
"Well then Kibbles, we just don't get caught." Naruto said smirking.
"It seems like you've already got a plan Fox. I'm listening." Kiba said leaning closer to Naruto.
Naruto's smirk widen as he whispered his plan to his 'partner in crime'. Leaning back Naruto could see the smirk forming on Kiba's face.
"Alright I'm in." Kiba said a full bown smirk plastered on his face.
.-.
And cut!
