Hey there! Adzara here. I just want to thank everyone for reading so far. This is my take on what it would be like if everyone was in our world, and how the lack of ninja experiences might have shaped them into different people. If you have any ideas for the story please review! I love advice and I like to incorporate your ideas into the story if it fits!
There won't be any character bashing. Some characters may come off as unlikable as first, but keep in mind that they haven't had the experiences they have in the naruto world. I hope I can expand on that enough in the story! Read and enjoy!

Suiren rubbed her forehead. "Jeesh Itachi-nii you don't have to hit me so hard, Deshine."
A tall gentleman with a rolled up wad of paper in his hand stood dressed in a nice suit and looked down on Suiren. His face was taught and some might think he was angry. However Suiren had known him long enough to know better. Sure enough, when he spoke his voice was neutral and almost light. "It's Uchiha-sensei to you."
"Hai~" Suiren shoved her hands into her pocket, looking away.
"Speak properly," Itachi's lips twitched, "Suiren-chan."
"But I had a good excuse for missing yesterday. What's your excuse for abusing your poor cute student," Her hands went to her reddened cheeks and she twisted back and forth. "Don't tell me you're into such a forceful relationship. Though I guess if it's for you I could make- OW!"
Itachi sighed and placed the roll of papers down. "Come on. I'll walk you to class Suiren-chan. You're late now."
"Don't you mean we're late," Suiren went to grab Itachi's arm, who successfully avoided by stepping back, leaving Suiren with a frown. "Bully."
They stopped in front of class 1-A, Itachi opened the door and walked in, followed by a rejected Suiren.
"Namikaze-san, you may take the seat next to Nara-san. Nara, raise your hand," Itachi took a stand at the front of the class.
"So formal," Suiren mumbled, taking a reluctant seat in the back corned next to a kid she'd never seen before, whose head was down on the desk. How could you fall asleep before class even began. He didn't even raise his hand when Itachi asked him to.
A moment later they rose, with the exception of a sleeping Nara-san, bowed, and class began.
Suiren spent the first few minutes scanning the class. Great. She was stuck with a crappy lot this year. First she had the devils of Konoha Junior Academy. The duo sat at the front. She rolled her eyes at the delinquent hair color of one of them. Really? Pink? Give her a break. That Haruno-brat. Cheeky just because she was backed up by the fake-blonde next to her. It wasn't even a good blond color, Suiren thought bitterly, her head on her desk.
Those were the two she recognized. The only other person attending this school with her from her middle school class- that she knew of- was Uchiha Sasuke. Her face drained at the thought of that spoiled heiress. Why didn't he turn out cool like Itachi-nii?
Yeah. Itachi-nii really was the greatest. She glanced up at him. He was looking in her direction and her face turned a shade of red. She loosened her blonde hair from its secure position behind her ear. When they were younger Itachi had admitted that he liked long hair. Suiren only got small trims since then. She would do more than just keeping her hair long for him.
Because, of course Itachi was perfect. His black hair. His perfect skin. Oh... and now he was walking towards her. He was tall. And his shoulders seemed so strong. She just wanted-
"Namikaze-san," Itachi cleared his throat. "I dislike having to repeat myself. Please refrain from spacing out and read the next paragraph."
Oh... Suiren glanced around. The class was snickering at her. With a scowl she pulled open the student handbook. What page was she on? The Nara kid still had their head don on the table. She looked at Itachi who put his index finger on a particular paragraph.
"Er... article 2A. If a student is found in violation of the described rules, they forfeit any and all scholarships, council positions, and special standings. The standard of conducts is as followed: Students may not partake in any non-school related activities that may distract from the honorable standards of Konoha Academy, such as an after school job or... "
Suiren went on to outline some other bogus rules. Why did they have to read the handbook on the second day anyways? She sighed. It was going to be a long school year. Oh well... at least she could stare at Itachi-kun all she wanted...
During lunch Suiren sat in the courtyard. Neji had promised to meet her sometime soon. Apparently he had another friend he thought she should meet.
"Hey isn't that girl kinda cute."
"Which one?"
"The blonde, over there."
Suiren's face turned bright red. Was there someone talking about her? Suiren's hearing was pretty good. She ducked her head and peered through a curtain of blond hair. Two students were standing a couple of meters away and discreetly glancing in her directions.
"... Oh, that's no good. You wouldn't know because you just moved here, but that's Suiren."
Suiren withdrew further into herself.
"You mean...?"
"Yeah. Namikaze Suiren. The one who m-"
"Oi!"
Suiren's head shot up with that voice. She glanced over to see Neji towering over the two boys. "If you're going to talk so loudly, you should go somewhere else. You're disturbing my peace."
Suiren stood up as Neji pivoted and walked towards her. Two people were behind him. A girl with brown braided hair and a boy with striking bowl cut.
"Neji-kun! You're late."
"Sorry. We got held back a little. Suiren-chan, this is Tenten-san and Lee-kun."
Suiren ducked her head. "Hello."
"Wa, you really are cute! No wonder why Neji talks so highly of you," Tenten smiled as she sat down next to Suiren. "It's nice to meet another girl who Neji actually gets along with."
"I'm surprised you put up with him myself, Tenten-sempai."
"Hehe. well we were all friends in primary school. Then when we came to this school and were in the same class."
"Ah! Well thank you both, for taking care of Neji."
"So You're really Suiren," Lee cut in, and Suiren stiffened. "The Namikaze Suiren? I have heard a lot about that event-"
'Lee!" Tenten exclaimed. "Why are you talking about that! I'm sorry Suiren-san. He doesn't mean any harm..."
"What are you saying Tenten-chan? I am speaking of the time she fought with Neji-kun and was able to tame the 'Triagram Beast.' I hear he had an amazing passion of youth in primary school!"
Suiren's head ducked down, and her shoulders began rising heavily. "Triagram beast... was that really what Neji was called before? Really? Oh that's too great!" Suiren tilted her head back in heavy laughs. "That's really too great! Deshine!"
The three of them shared a laugh against Neji's expense. Of course Suiren remembered that event. It was a bittersweet event but she had become Neji's friend from that time.
Glancing at her upperclassmen, Suiren began thinking that maybe this school year would be a little better than before.
