New Chapter. Anko has replaced Shika age-wise, just letting you guys know. I don't own Naruto.

"Ugh…" I groan as my demon alarm clock wails in my ear and I smash it into oblivion. In a flash I eat, shower, and dress before heading out the door and to my first day in The Academy. I'm in the median between excited and absolutely terrified at the thought of my first day…I'm really not good with people. Making sure my headband is secure, I begin my short journey to The Academy. A weapon shop comes up on my left and I step inside to pick up my tools.

"Welcome!" a cute brunette with hair buns greets me.

"Hi, I need a kunai holster and a full weapon pouch if that's not too much trouble" I smile. She nods and ducks under the counter. "Here you go!" she puts the objects in my hand and I reach for my wallet.

"On the house" she winks.

"I love Konoha!" I grin stupidly. She giggles and I wave goodbye. Konoha's streets are bustling with happy shoppers and merchants hocking their wares and I find myself unconsciously smiling…well until I hear.

"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE DEMON BASTARD!". An obviously terrified blonde rockets past me, pursued by no less than twelve men armed to the teeth with bats, pans, and knives.

"Great…now I'm going to be late" I sigh before hustling after the mob. I spot them a few blocks down the streets, the blonde is cornered in an alley with a look of sheer terror etched on his face like a mask. As one advances, a tear leaks from the corner of his eye.

"What did I do?" the blonde asks desperately.

"You were born" the man spits.

"Not this shit again!" I roll my eyes. The blonde makes eye contact with me and pleads with his eyes. Nodding slowly, I creep towards the mob. When the obvious leader of the men begins a long and semi-coherent cuss filled rant about demons and foxes I jump over them and grasp the blonde's wrist before body flickering away with the mob still completely engrossed in the man's still barely understandable babble of dialogue. We arrive at eh entrance to The Academy and I let go of his wrist.

"Man, I thought I was done for" the blonde grimaces.

"What'd you do to piss em' off that bad?".

His head droops and he utters out," I don't know…they do this every day".

"What's your name?" I extend my hand.

"Naruto…Naruto Uzumaki" he shakes.

"I'm Isamu Shimizu" I introduce myself," Last of the Pure Water Clan" I bow exaggeratedly.

"Looks like you're my second friend in the village" I pat him on the shoulder.

"F-friend?" he stutters.

"Yeah, is that a problem?" He just smiles and shakes his head.

"Then let's head inside, Naruto Uzumaki" I gesture to the door.

"After you Isamu Shimizu" he grins…like a fox oddly enough. We jog in to find that we're right on time.

"Naruto? You're not late!? Well my fortune cookie did say "Expect the unexpected" the teacher teases.

"Funny, Iruka-sensei" Naruto sticks out his tongue. Iruka's eyes find me and he drags me to the front of the room.

"Everybody, we have a new student today. Would you please introduce yourself?" Iruka asks.

I step forward and clear my throat," My name is Isamu and it's great to be in Konoha. I eagerly look forward to training with the most renowned ninja in the world "I smile. My eyes scan the crowd, a blonde, a chunky kid eating chips, a kid brooding in the back, an indigo haired girl eyeing Naruto shyly, and a pinkette catch my eye. I spot Anko in the corner and give her a wave. She smiles widely and waves back. Iruka allows me to choose my seat and I sit next to Naruto and Anko. I introduce the two and they smile shyly at each other.

"Ahh…young love" I smile inwardly.

I hear whispering around me and I lean forward a little and catch a snippet of conversation," He's so HOT!" the blonde whispers to the pinkette and I blush like a tomato. I laugh softly and Iruka tells us that we're heading outside and that we should partner up.

"New kid! You're with me" the brooder calls to me.

"And you are?" I raise my eyebrow.

"Sasuke Uchiha" he smirks.

"Well then Mr. Uchiha, let's do this". The ghost of a smile crosses his features.

"Hey Anko why don't you train with Naruto?" she nods and drags him off by the wrist. When we get outside Iruka asks for volunteers and Sasuke and I immediately raise our hands.

"Let's see what you've got" the raven smirks. I stifle a yawn.

"HAJIME!" Iruka yells.

Sasuke leaps back and goes through seals. "FIRE STYLE: GRAND FIREBALL JUSTU!" he roars before blowing a ball of fire my way. I casually sidestep and laugh as the fireball shoots past me and into the trees. My own hands are a blur.

"LIGHTNING STYLE: LIGHTINING SIDEWINDER" I hold my palm to the sky. Thunder rumbles deeply in the sky before a lightning bolt slams into my palm and uses it as a conduit. With no difficulty, I move the chakra into my index finger.

"Bah-bye" I let the lightning streak towards him.

"SASUKE!" the pink haired girl yells.

A millimeter from his chest I yell," Release!". The lighting dissipates and the bolt is replaced by my foot. I twist on his collar bone and swing my other foot around and connect with his jaw and it groans sickeningly before he flies into a tree at record speeds.

"And the winner is Isam-" he's cut off by a large roar.

"NO!" Sasuke pulls himself out of the tree and oozes bloodlust. He clutches two kunai and hurtles towards me, his eyes full of death and pain. His kunai sinks into my shoulder and Iruka screams at the apparent death of his new student. Me? I just smirk and turn into a log. I reappear in a plume of smoke twenty yards away from Sasuke, staring at the blood crazed Uchiha. Iruka appears behind him and attempts to restrain him. Before he can, Sasuke bolts for me again.

"Alright, fuck this" I drop into a judo stance. When he throws a punch I ram a palm into his outstretched elbow joint, tearing his muscles and snapping his ligaments in a quick, precise jab. CRACK! His arm dangles at a ninety degree angle and he howls with agony. I wince," Fuck…why is there blood running down my back?" I crane my head and find a kunai buried deep in my shoulder. "Didn't…substitute…fast enough" I grunt out. Iruka and the rest of the class look terrified. Sasuke still writhes on the ground in agony and I yank the kunai out, earning myself a large squirt of blood in the process. I slide the kunai into my holster and sigh," Great fucking first day". Iruka rushes forward and clamps his hand down on my wound.

A masked man appears in a puff of smoke," What happened Iruka?!" the man gasps at my shitty state.

"Emu! Thank Kami. Sasuke attacked our new student! He needs medical attention."

"Nah…I'm good" I wave of the worry. "Got a canteen?" I ask Emu. He nods and hands me his. I unscrew the cap and poor it onto the wound and it washes away like it was never there.

"How?" Iruka asks in astonishment. "It's the bloodline of the Shimizu Clan, water can heal all of my smaller wounds and sometimes my more serious ones. I can't drown, I've mastered water walking, and I learn water justu like they're nothing" I explain to my impressed teacher.

"Quite the shinobi already?" he smiles before turning to Emu.

"Take the Uchih-"

"NO!" I cut him off. Everyone freezes and I step towards Sasuke and pull down his high collar. "Just like I thought…a seal" I relay to Emu.

"How are you so familiar with it?" Emu asks.

"It's…it's from Suna" I manage to get out through my tightly clenched jaw.

"What's your relationship with Suna?".

"My clan is from Suna."

Another chapter down. R&R, Flame, Whatever. See you later bro's.
