I really dislike some things I did with the first chapter. I'm not going to change them though, just roll with it. So I got a review saying that they disliked that Naruto had a sibling. I don't recall saying he did, so maybe I mis wrote something? Let me know please, where I put that. That's something I do wish to remove. I also don't like the ability I gave him, but I can roll with it. Too be honest, I'm more excited about the other characters than Naruto himself. I'd like to make this story go at a slow and steady rate, but I'm impatient, so that'll be hard. Let's do it.

Chapter 2

The next morning was much more uneventful. Naruto's excitement from the previous morning had far from faded. This morning, however, he decided to get their early, to meet his other classmates. He didn't really meet any of them, besides Shino and Kui.

He liked Shino, the quiet boy was polite, and hardly bothered him. Kui was a okay as well, just a bit teasing. Having grown up almost by himself, he still wasn't quite used to that yet. The only contac he had with others before the academy was random kids at the park, and the ANBU that came to deliver his monthly money to live off of. The village of Konoha gave a monthly check to all the orphans of Konoha that they proved they could live by themselves. Some chose not to, and others failed the test.

Naruto put on a outfit similiar to yesterday's, and tied his hair back in a ponytail. (Think of like Itachi's, just blonde.) There was still two hours until the academy started, so he walked leisurely this time. The hokage mountain reflected the sun's light off it, making it shine in the early morning light. All of the 3 original hokage, followed by the current, Minato Namikaze. He had married Kushina Uzumaki, and they had a child. Shishu Namikaze. He was the jinchuriki of the nine tails, and was well respected and praised as a hero in the village.

'Come to think of it, he should be in my year.' Naruto thought to himself. There would be a lot of competition in his year. The Namikaze, Uchiha, Ault, and Hyuga's heir were all in his class. There were many others, but less prevalent.

While Naruto was lost in thought, he ran into someone, and fell on the ground. "Oh, sorry sir." He mumbled quickly. Naruto hopped up and dusted his pants off, and looked up at the person he had bumped into. "No need to apologize, we're classmates after all. I'm sure it was an accident." The man he had bumped into was none other than Shishu Namikaze.

Now he had really done it! Bumping into the son of the hokage! Oh what would become of him now! What would his poor mother think! Well, if she was alive. But still!

'Come to think of it, he did this yesterday too.' Thought Shishu too himself, watching Naruto have his mental breakdown. He waved his hand in front of his face, and got no response. Shishu sighed, and turned away towards the school. 'He'll stop eventually.' He thought to himself.

Naruto continued to have wallow in his mental anguish, until something rammed into him from behind. "Hey! Pay attention to me!" Kui shouted next to his ear. Naruto looked at her in shock. "Were you listening to anything I said?" She asked him.

Now kiddos, this is what we call a choice. Naruto could either be honest, and good, and tell her he wasn't listening. However, self-preservation kicked in last second. "Yeah, of course Kui!" He said, smiling awkwardly at her. Kui narrowed her eyes at him. "Oh yeah, then what was I saying then?" She asked, accusing. 'Well, there goes that plan. I wonder if I can outrun her...'. Luckily, Naruto was spared from the inevitable pain by a conviently timed Shino.

"Leave him alone Kui. Let's get going already." He said impassively. Kui hmphed, and followed the insect user into the academy. Naruto jogged after them, shouting at them to wait.

The trio was earlier than mostly everyone, with the exception of one Hyuga Neji. While Naruto had an interest in getting to know his classmate, he really didn't have much interest in this 'destiny controls all' guy. Sure, he was interested in the Byakugan, but if he wanted to know about that, he'd just talk to Hinata. If she could go 7 seconds without fainting, that is.

More of the students filed in, and Naruto decided to try and greet some. Unfortunately, the one he chose was not a good decision. As per usual, the last Uchiha was not in a good mood. How was Naruto supposed to know his entire clan was massacred with the exception of him and his mother? Okay, he really should, but he was too excited to really think at the time.

"Hi! My name's Naruto, what's yours?" He asked cheerfully. Sasuke stared at him, and didn't reply. Naruto, being the dense person he was, decided to try again. "Okay, I was joking. I know you're Sasuke, I just wanted to talk to you! We are classmates now, after all." He said.

"I don't have time to waste taking to trash like you." Sasuke said lowly. Naruto's world shattered into a million piece. Sure, people had been rude to him before, but never someone he just met, and for no reason at all too! Naruto began going over mental calculations over what he did wrong, and during that time, Sasuke pushed past him and into the classroom.

'He's just grumpy today.' Was Naruto's conclusion. The next person to walk in was Choji Akamichi. This time, Naruto decided to try a different approach. "Hello!" He greeted, and stuck his hand out for the boy to shake. Choji took a minute to finish his bag of chips, and took he hand offered to him. "Choji Akamichi." He said. Naruto did a dance internally. 'Finally, someone normal and polite!' He shouted internally. 'Nothing like dark and brooding over there.'.

"Naruto." He said. Choji blinked at him, waiting for him to finish. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke, "Last name?" he prompted. Naruto's smile slipped slightly, then returned in full force. "Sorry, don't have one." He stated. Choji raised an eyebrow, but nodded and walked to his seat anyway.

Naruto sighed in relief. Two down, only about twenty more to go. He looked up at the clock, 'this is going to be a long day.'.

Taijutsu training was going in full swing. Different students practicing basic taijutsu, or their clan's particular style. Naruto, on the other hand, was swinging his fists around wildly. You see, he had meant to learn a taijutsu style to follow, but got too excited about joining the academy, and forgot. Unluckily for him, his opponent was the kid he had avoided greeting earlier, Hyuga Neji.

So while Naruto was floudering like a fish, Neji was sighing impatiently and dodging his attacks worth ease. "Are you even trying?" He asked impatiently. Naruto flushed with embarrassment. "Of course!", he shouted, "I'm just not very good yet."

"That's obvious." The Hyuga said. "Just practice the basics first. Like punching and kicking." Naruto nodded, and drew back his fist to hit him. His fist flew forward and hit Neji straight in the chest, with no effect. Neji barely moved an inch, and looked up at Naruto with a deadpan expression. "Really?" Was all he asked.

"Well if it's so easy, why don't you try it." Naruto fired back. Possibly the worst decision of his life. Neji shrugged and rushed forward at him. In the time it took Naruto to blink, Neji had knocked him on the ground. Naruto lay there and looked up at the sky in thought. 'Can I really do this? I can't even hit him, and it's only the second day. Maybe I wasn't cut out for this after all.'

Neji, however, has better things to do than watch Naruto's internal crisis. "Hey, get up. We're not done yet." He said. Naruto hopped back up, landing on the heels of his feet. "Listen, you're obviously not going to beat me today, so why don't you train with me later?" He asked. Naruto's eye widened than what should be physically possible. Hey, it's anime, what are ya gonna do?

"Well, if you decide to come, I'll be at training field #6 at 7:00 p.m. today. Don't be late." He said, and walked back to Iruka to tell him how the training had gone. Naruto ran over to tell Kui, and found her pinning her opponent, Ino, to the ground.

"You think you can beat me? Huh?! Do ya?!?" She screamed down at her. Ino, for her part, just looked bored with her classmates obviously failing mental health. Naruto hesitantly tapped her on the shoulder. "Kui, do you think you could let Ino go? You already won." He said quietly.

Kui still looked angry, but nodded in agreement. She let Ino up, and glared at her as the blond walked away. "What do you want Naruto?" She asked. "I just wanted to tell you Neji invited me to train with him!" He said happily.

Kui snorted. "You interrupted me to tell me about your little date with that prick? I thought you were better than that man." She said.

Naruto sighed, he should have guessed that would happen. 'Well', he thought, 'I'll go tell my one sensible friend then.'.

He walked over to Shino, who was sparring against Tenten. It was a pretty even fight, and entertaining to watch. Shino wasn't a close range fighter, but Tenten wasn't nearly as effective without her weaponry. Eventually the two declared it a draw, and Tenten went to go tell Iruka. Shino turned to his friend, questioning. "I get to train with Neji more later." He said simply.

Shino nodded at him, then turned to watch his other classmates fight. 'See, why can't everyone be sensible like Shino.' Naruto thought irritably to himself.

Naruto started looking around for something to do, when he spotted a small crowd of his classmates gathered around a pair of students fighting. Rock Lee was aiming punches and kicks at Sasuke Uchiha, who while dodging them, was starting to look weary.

"Yeah! Go Lee, kick his emo ass!" Kiba shouted next to him. Naruto let out a small giggle. It was entertaining, listening to Lee scream about youth while Sasuke grew more irritated by the minute. Several of Sasuke's fan girls rushed to defend him, but they were ignored. Even Iruka was watching with interest, as the rest of the fights had already concluded.

Eventually, Sasuke ducked under one of Lee's kicks and punched upwards. Right into Lee's 'jewels of youth' so to speak. Rock Lee fumbled in midair and crashed to the ground. The whole crowd was silent, the only noise being a high pitched whine from Lee. Iruka coughed, and declared Sasuke the winner. "Man, that was dirty!" Kiba cried.

While Sasuke's fans praised him, Iruka announced the school day over. "Tomorrow, we will be practicing Ninjutsu." He said. "Get a good nights rest, and see you tomorrow."

As everyone slowly trickled of the academy grounds, Naruto walked over to Shino and Kui. The pair was sitting in the shade of a tree, relaxing. Shino looked up and nodded in greeting, while Kui didn't acknowledge his presence. He sat down next to them, and relaxed in the cool afternoon air. He felt his eyelids beginning to droop, and thought to himself, 'Just a little while', and fell asleep.

When he awoke, the sky was turning orange, and Shino was nowhere to be seen. Kui was snoring loudly next to him, and Naruto looked over to read the watch on her wrist.

6:59 p.m.

End

Dude, writing on phone is complete trash. My laptop sucks though, so this is my only option. If you notice an error in grammar or spelling, feel free to point it out. Once again, I appreciate feedback, negative or positive. I finished this an hour before the deadline I set for myself, so yay. I'm trying to stick to a schedule of at least a chapter every two days. See ya later, hopefully.
