Chapter 4: The Academy's Two Prodigies
"Karin. Karin. Stop sleeping on the floor you big silly." Naruto had been trying to wake Karin for ten minutes non-stop.
"-Sigh- Fine, I'll leave with or without you," Naruto stated while standing up.

The day was bright and sunny, while not being to warm. Naruto sighed and looked at the now present teacher.
"Hello class I'm Iruka Umino. Now let's all introduce ourselves, You on the far right until the far left kid."
"I'm Shino Aburame."
"I-I'm Hinata Hyuuga."
"I'm Kiba Inuzuka!"
Naruto zoned out until the person next to him spoke.
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha."
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" Iruka nodded and looked at his clipboard.
"Where is Karin?" The class whispered t themselves. The class heard shouting and the door flew open like a whirl wind blew through the halls. Karin burst through the door and somersaulted into Iruka, who fell backwards and out the window. The class piled up at the windows. Iruka was lying on the ground unconscious.
"Oppsie, my bad," Karin spoke while scratching the back of her head. Kiba playfully smacked her on the back.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine. Welcome to class, I'm Kiba Inuzuka. I think you'll fit right in here just fine." The class left the academy and forgot about their unconscious, injured sensei.

Naruto, Kiba, Karin and Chouji went out to lunch at the BBQ restaurant.
"Do you think sensei will be alright?" Chouji managed to comment between mouthfuls. Everyone's faces paled.
"WE FORGOT ABOUT SENSEI!" the group yelled suddenly remembering about the event that took place earlier in the day. The group ran for five minutes to the academy, where Iruka was still lying on the ground unconscious.
"How should we move him?" Karin asked.
"The question is: Should we move him?" Kiba questioned. The group pondered the question.
"I'll go get a medic!" Naruto shouted as he ran towards the hospital. Not quite ten minutes later, Naruto brought a team of medics to the academy.
"How did this happen?" asked one of the medics.
"She did it!" the boys said, backing up and pointing at Karin.

A month later Iruka was back up and teaching again. But he had to take it easy, since his back was now permanently hurt.
"Okay class, today we will conduct a test to see what areas you are best at and what you are worst at. Now go outside." The class filed outside and to the academy's training ground. The training ground had everything from targets to training dummies, it also had an obstacle course.

Naruto was the last one up for the obstacle course. A whistle sounded the start of the test. Naruto ran towards the climbing wall. He quickly scaled the wall, with a couple close calls and jumped off. Coming up was the rope swing over a pit of mud. Naruto swung over with ease. Next was the piece of rope over a shallow, muddy pound. Naruto speed across the rope and passed the finish line.
"Good job. It looks like we have two top of the class, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke's fangirls all cheered.

At lunch word got around that Naruto had beat two high level chunin. Kiba walked up to Naruto and slung his arm around Naruto's shoulders.
"It's so cool how you beat those two skilled chunin man. I'm going to be your right hand man from now on." Naruto laughed nervously, he took Kiba's arm off his shoulders. The bell rang signaling the beginning of the next class. Everyone rushed in.

Naruto was jumping rooftop to rooftop. The afternoon consisted of a game of ninja hide and seek. The rules were simple; you could use all of your ninja skills to stay hidden and to seek. Naruto and Sasuke were the two seekers, since the class was quite large. Out of the corner of his eye, Naruto saw a blur run into an alley. He followed after it. Stuck at the end of the alley was, Kiba.
"Found you!" Naruto yelled excitedly. Kiba stuck his tongue out and spit raspberries at Naruto.
"Tunnelling Fang!" Kiba tunneled into the ground.
"Dammit!" Naruto swore. 'I can't let Sasuke win.'
"Watch your language Naruto!" a familiar voice behind Naruto said. He swung around and saw Karin. Naruto shot forward and tagged Karin. The smile grew and grew.
"You have to help me now." With Karin helping him, Naruto found 10/16 of his hiding classmates. Iruka had congratulated both boys on finding their classmates.
"Naruto must have cheated," whispered one Sasuke fan girl to another. As the non-Sasuke fangirls listened, they grew more and more angry.
"Leave Naruto alone! He's a sweet guy. In the time I have known him, he has been nothing but nice!" Ino yelled at the fangirls.
"I agree with Ino," Sakura said.
"M-Me too," Hinata stuttered. A few others agreed with Ino and them including; Karin, Kiba, Shikamaru and Chouji. The fangirls backed off and quickly ran for their homes.
"T-Thanks guys," Naruto smiled.
