Flashbacks

"talking"

chapter 3

Naruto stood awkwardly in front of the class ,as the stares were from question to awe. He felt like a science project, that was slowly being evaluated by the many students. Before all he wanted was attention by after a while he slowly began to want to fade in the background. He became what people call shy. Not Hinata shy but more like he couldn't stand in front of crowds without looking at the ground

Naruto was pulling on his cap from the flip hiding his face. The only thing the other students could see was a well fit body, great sun kissed hair coming out of the side of the cap and a bit of pink on his cheeks. Still that was all the fangrils need to have hearts in their eyes.

Most were wondering who the new kid was. The class was filled with thoughts like these

'he seems familiar'

'kyaaaa! Sooo cool!'

'looks strong'

'awwww. He's blushing. How cute!'

'great another idiot'

Naruto was starting to sweat, he was getting close to either running away in tears or throwing something at the next person to speak. Maybe a chair or something. He's knees were begging to shake as the silence stretched on and on. Was there something wrong? Did he put his clothes on wrong?

Its okay! You're the hokage! Its your job to stand in front of crowds! Just breath before we faint! We're running out of air! Breathe! Breathe! For the love of God breathe! The voice in Naruto's head, which he calls inner Naruto, yelled.

Naruto was staring to see stars, oh God, he was goanna faint. Then he was never going to wake up. He was never goanna save anyone because he would be in a coma caused by fear of crowds!

KIT SNAP OUT OF IT! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF! Roared Kyuubi. Great the kit was going into his FOM. Freak. Out. Mode. The kyuubi always had to yell at the kit whenever he went into FOM. It was weird during the many funeral the kit had to say a speech to the crowd as part of being hokage . At first everything was fine but then he started to repeat things and people started to notice.

They wanted something said by the hokage for their love ones that the hokage would only say for their love ones and no one else. The pressure started to get to Kit and soon he was having a hard time standing in front of crowds. Mostly because they had always had tears in their eyes when Kit would talk and when they notice him repeat the things he said for yesterday's funeral they would sob loudly breaking Kit's heart

Yes Naruto lost his confidence after all of that being in front of crowds and now in front of these crowd he was beyond scared. Still kyuubi had a point he had to get a hold of himself so with a deep breath he lifted his head and gave a soft smile to the room

At first no one moved, then the room was full of question in unordered fashion

"What's dead last doing here?"

"Hey. Get out of here dead last! Only passing ninja allowed! Where did you get that headband anyway?"

"What did you do to your face? Ha it looks like someone stayed out in the sun too long dead last!"

"Kyaaaa! How could I thought dead last was cute?!"

They went all out until Naruto hold up his hand. His face was calm and friendly witched was strange to the class. Naruto calm? They all quite down watching as Naruto looked around the room seeing no more talking he opened his mouth and said

"What I'm doing here is waiting for my team to be assigned. I got this head band from Iruka-sensei. face is red cause I was nervous while up here. And I don't know." Naruto smiled softly again after answering the questions.

The class went quite from shock. Did dead last just answered the questions without asking them to be repeated? They watch as his face showed friendliness and that just seemed to make the room glow. His arms were muscular but not extremely. His legs as well . But how? Dead last was fat and chubby yesterday! It was true that Naruto always were a very baggy orange jumpsuit but still it couldn't be that bagging!

What they didn't know was Naruto had always carried his pranking tools in his jumpsuit making him look fat. And also Naruto ran for his life everyday as a child. He had to be faster then the angry mobs that chased him or he would be beaten to near death. So yes his legs we're fit. It make sense that he wasn't fat since he ran for about 3 hours every day for his life

He's six pack and muscular arms we're from his jobs that he had since 6. It was true that Third gave him monthly pay to live but since everyone was out to get him they raised the prices to unjust costs. Leaving Naruto to work to the bone for money. He had to carry supplies to towns, work in the mines, make maps of the forests surrounding the leaf village, and his work in the sewers. If the village were to keep the prices fair Naruto would be very high in the middle class.

These jobs were why he would sometimes be out of school either to go to towns or to finish what he couldn't do since he was so tired from that day's work. Everyone thought he was out for being lazy when it was them the lazy ones. They would fight with their parents because they didn't want to do work Naruto had to fight to keep his work.

He really did try in the academy but he would always let the tiredness get to him and would sleep in class or he missed the day's lesson and had no idea how to do what the class was learning. All in all the kids had no idea how lucky their were.

Naruto looked around and notice most of the chairs were taken the only one left was the chair next to Shino. Naruto know why too. Who wants to sit next to bug boy anyway? He remembered that Shino had sat by himself many times. Suddenly guilt made his chest heavy. Shino was antisocial because no one gave him a chance but not this time. Naruto was going to sit next to him and listen to his sentences too!

In the future after Naruto began to talk to Shino he open up way more and was really nice guy. He was also the party guy, him and Naruto got along great even had their on hand shack. Whenever they see each other Naruto would put on some sunglass and together they would say at the same time "I'll be back." Yes the handshake annoyed others but they never cared

Ahh the bug boy. I like him go sit next to him kit! Then you two can remake your handshake! I loved the way both of you could make your voices deep! It was hilarious! Shouted the oh so scary fox of death. Naruto again smiled, Kyuubi was so funny sometimes. He walked up to the back where Shino was and asked "can I sit here?"

Naruto politely waited till Shino nodded to sit down. Shino meanwhile was trying to think of something to say. This was the first time someone asked to sit with him and he wanted to at least try to make a friend. Turning to Naruto he said the first thing that came to his mind "Females black widows eat the head off their mates". He watch Naruto laugh into his hand. Shino mentally kicked himself. ' Really?! Someone asks to sit with you and you say that!? WHO SAYS THAT!? A CHANCE TO FINALLY MAKE A FRIEND AND YOU MESS IT ALL UP!' Naruto started to grave his stomach and laugh louder. There were tear in his eyes too. Shino groan. Great now even the dead last thought he was weird.

Shino was about to ignore him when Naruto turned to him and said "t-that was ha ha ha soooo random! You're an okay guy Shino! Ha ha ha" . Naruto mentally smirked as Shino smiled at him when he said that. He knew his friend- or soon to be friend- and knew this had helped Shino open up. Kyuubi was still laughing in Naruto's mind. Shino seeing that Naruto thought that was funny continued "why are you laughing? That was a warning. Don't do what a girl says and say bye bye to your head!" Naruto laughed harder. He turned to Shino " it's funny cause its true!"

The boys went into a deep conversation about the many times they pissed off a girl and how sacry they got after wards. For the first time someone listen to the end of Shino's sentences and it made him extremely happy. Too soon Iruka-sensei came in and quitted down the class

Using his very own big head justu. Ahh how I missed that. Thought Naruto as Iruka screamed. Yes its weird but that was one great way to quite down a class. Kyuubi said

Naruto nodded I love how his head almost touches the ceiling kyuubi grinned . Its his own special justu that he invented over the years of teaching kinda like your sexy justu. Hey I almost forgot are you goanna keep using that?

Naruto shook his head no it was a stupid justu. Always disrespecting the woman around me. I'll not use it this time.

Kyuubi frowned. The sexy justu was kit's specialty he had to use it but how was he going to convince the kit that? He remembered the time they met Jiraiya. Grinning he said kit you have to otherwise how would you convince Jiraiya to train you? Without him you can't use sage mode . and you can't tell him he's your godfather cause you're not spouts to know

Naruto thought about what Kyu said and sighed. He had a point he would never be able to convince Jiraiya without that justu. Oh well maybe some things were better off unchanged Iruka's voice ranged out to him

"team 7 Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno." Iruka paused waiting for Naruto to celebrate. When all that was heard was Sakura's sigh he raised a eyebrow. Why didn't Naruto say anything? The class was wondering the same thing

All he was doing was softly smiling. Iruka continued "and Sasuke Uchiha" again the class waited for a reaction from Naruto after Sakura's yell of excitement. What they didn't expect was Naruto looking at his teammates and saying "it's a pleasure to be on your team." Smiling politely

That's when the whole class knew the world was going to end.
