A/N: alright! so here's chapter 5!! I told you I'd update fast and here it is!! Anyway, picking up where we left off...let the story begin!
Itachi: raindropdays does not own Naruto, the characters, or the plot. She does own her own character Miso.
A/N: I didn't even have to ask...it makes me proud...
"And so if you will all turn the page in your history books, you will be able to see a detailed picture of the battle
"And so if you will all turn the page in your history books, you will be able to see a detailed picture of the battle..." instructed Kakashi. He leaned against his desk and glanced over his book towards his class. 26-26-28... There was one person missing. He frowned. "Let's see," he thought to himself, "Who would be missing after a long lunch break?" After a moment his thoughts were answered.
"Where's Uzumaki?" whispered Ino to Sakura. She was leaning over at least 3 desks to talk to her friend. Sakura merely swatted her away, still angry from earlier events.
"Oh, so it's Uzumaki who's missing," said Kakashi as he suddenly appeared behind the two girls.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Ino cried as she fell out of her chair, completely caught off guard by his sudden appearance.
"Yes?" replied Kakashi nonchalantly.
"You're such a bother..." said Shikamaru under his breath as he watched Ino fall out of her chair.
"What did you say Shikamaru?!" shouted Ino angrily as she leapt back to her feet. He merely sighed and shrugged as he turned away from Ino. Kakashi followed suit. But then again, it was just another normal day in Hatake's class.
"Alright, alright, enough of that," he said, resuming his spot back in the front of the class, "Miss Yamanaka, please, take your seat and stop trying to strangle Mr. Nara." Ino abruptly let go of Shikamaru's neck and took her seat back in the back of the room. "Now..." said Kakashi, once he was sure Ino was seated and wouldn't be jumping up any time soon, "Does anyone know where Mr. Uzumaki is this afternoon?" There was silence. Everyone simply stared at each other. Not one person in the room seemed to know where the annoying blond had gone off to. Kakashi let out yet another sigh. The boy had been in class for a total of four hours, and he was already missing. Kakashi took one more look around the room before turning his back to the class and picking up a piece of shock. "Alright then, since no one seems to know where Mr. Uzumaki is, we might as well get down to buis--"
The door to the classroom suddenly banged open. Kakashi, followed by the rest of the class, turned to see who and/or what had suddenly opened the door so quickly, and who did they see but none other than...
Naruto Uzumaki stood in the doorway of the classroom with a cocky smirk painted on his face. He turned to Kakashi, gave a short nod and than proceeded to his seat. Kakashi was about to scold him for being late but decided not to when Uzumaki quietly took his seat. After all, he was here now, wasn't he? Kakashi returned to the board and continued writing trying to ignore the fast and furious whispering that now filled his quiet room. Did Uzumaki bring this sort of excitement everywhere he went...or was this just a special occasion?
Naruto heard the others talking about him almost immediately. He smugly kicked his feet up on top of his desk and scanned the room. Just about everyone was whispering to each other loudly, glancing back at him, pointing, and then returning back to their conversations. He smiled a cocky smile. He had to admit he was having quite a lot of fun at this new school and he was going to have even more fun this afternoon. He closed his eyes and remembered the conversation with Miso from earlier.
"There's someone..." said Miso slowly, "Someone...who wants to fight you."
"To fight me?" replied Naruto startled.
Miso nodded. "Yes, a gang leader by the name of Fuku. I'm not sure why he does but..." Miso shook her head. "It's dangerous." Naruto seemed to be shaking now. Miso put her hand on his shoulder in order to comfort him. "Listen..." she started, "I--" But he cut her off.
"I'm so happy," he said, still shaking. Miso was taken back.
"Happy?" she repeated surprised. She took her hand off of his shoulder, "What do you mean?"
"I mean," said Naruto turning to Miso and looking her square in the eye, "I'm just so happy that there are actual challenges at this school. I can't wait to fight them, who ever they are." Naruto punched his left hand with his right and looked up determinedly, "This Fuku, or whatever his name is, he's going down." Miso glanced down nervously.
"Yeah..." she said weakly, "They're going down." Naruto gave her a confident nod.
"Thanks for the message," he said, still happy. But suddenly, his smile disappeared. "Wait a minute..." Miso looked up nervously.
"Yes?" she asked, nervous.
"Why did they ask you to give me this message?" asked Naruto. He grabbed her by the arms and shook her back and forth, slightly. "You're not in trouble again are you?" he asked. His eyes were brimming with sincerity and Miso had to look away to avoid the truth.
"...No," she finally said, "They just saw I was around with you a lot and they thought it would be good if I were the one to tell you. But they didn't threaten me...believe me, I'm fine." Naruto's hands relaxed but his gave remained hard and sincere.
"Alright..." he said. Then his smile lightened. "Oh well, it doesn't matter, I'm going to beat these guys senseless anyway so there really is nothing to worry about." Miso continued to stare at the ground.
"Yes..." she said, more to herself than to Naruto, "There is nothing to worry about..."
"Eh?" Naruto noticed, Miso's crestfallen mood and turned to face her, "What's the matter?"
"Uh, nothing, nothing!" said Miso, 'cheering' up, "Now, we should be getting to class!"
"Oh yeah that," snorted Naruto. Miso smiled a little bit as she led the way back to the classrooms. They didn't notice the person in the shadows.
"Uzumaki!"
Naruto heard his name being called and immediately returned to the present. Right. He was in History class. He looked up to see who was calling his name. It was Kakashi. "Yeah?" he replied as cocky as ever.
"Thank you for joining us," said Kakashi, "It only took me calling your name five times." Naruto gave Kakashi a look like a little kid being chastised. "So, will you please read section four, for us?" Naruto grudgingly picked up his book and stood up, flipping through the many pages, looking for the correct chapter. As he flipped frantically he saw a certain strawberry headed girl roll her eyes just two rows in front of him. He smiled his usual arrogant smile.
"She likes me..." he thought and continued flipping.
Class finally ended. It seemed like forever, to everyone, especially to Naruto, who, somewhere between section five and section eight, had fallen asleep.
"Just look at him," said Sakura with a look of disgust on her face as she packed up her books, "It's disgusting." Ino strode over to her best friend's desk with Shikamaru towing behind her.
"He's a complete pain," added Shikamaru, "Coming into class late like that and then thinking he's so cool."
"I think he's cool," said Ino. Shikamaru rolled his eyes.
"You think every guy at this school is cool."
Ino didn't respond and instead turned to Sakura. "Listen Sakura, if you hate him so much than stop paying so much attention to him." Sakura shot her friend another angry look and Ino backed away slowly.
"I am not paying any attention to him at all," she said stubbornly, and with that picked up her bag and marched out of the room.
"Geez, what's up with her?" asked Ino. When she didn't get an answer, she turned to face Shikamaru. He seemed to be humming to himself. "What are you doing?" she asked him skeptically.
"I'm trying to ignore you," he replied, "Its not working." Ino shook her head.
"Is it my fault that I find it my business to talk about the new student?" asked Ino, waving her hand impatiently.
"You make everything your business," said Kiba as he walked up to Shikamaru and Ino with Hinata behind.
"So I'm a busy girl, do you have a problem with that?" asked Ino leaning over the desk. Kiba sighed.
"Always to loud, how do you survive Shikamaru?" he asked. Ino shot him a dangerous, angry look.
"Do you want to say that again?" she asked as she tried to get to Kiba. Shikamaru held her back.
"Hey, woah there, come on Ino, calm down!" he said as he held her back from killing Kiba. Kiba laughed.
"Anyway," he said, "Changing the subject, that damn Uzumaki is getting on my nerves!" Ino stopped struggling and Shikamaru let go. "He thinks he's so much better than the rest of us with his cocky attitude and smirks. It makes me sick." Kiba was shaking with anger. "I can't believe we'd have to be stuck with another ill behaved, rejected, violent, self absorbed gang leader; and in our class too! It makes me sick!"
"Kiba..." said Hinata quietly as she placed her hands on his shoulder. He calmed down a little bit.
Ino put her hands on her hips and cocked her head to the side. "Well, when you say it like that..."
Kiba continued, "He thinks he can get whatever he wants, whenever he wants and doesn't care about anyone other than himself..."
"It's true. He is very annoying," said Shino, joining the small group. Ino jumped back, completely surprised and caught off guard for the second time today. Shino had just come out of nowhere!
"D-don't do that!" she said startled. Shino didn't respond but continued to speak of Naruto as he adjusted his glasses.
"He has also begun to get on my nerves as well." Kiba nodded to his old friend.
"Well...I don't think he's too bad..." said Ino. Kiba, Shikamaru and Shino just stared at her and Hinata looked away. Ino nodded. "Its just my opinion."
"And it's my opinion that you guys leave now. Class is over you know," said Kakashi as he suddenly appeared behind Ino. Ino jumped ten feet into the air for the third time today before turning on Kakashi.
"Would everyone please stop doing that!!" she shouted.
Naruto was at the spot. He was ready to take them down. He'd come prepared and was completely prepared to make them pay. Here it was: the first fight with the great Uzumaki Naruto! He could see it now. But more importantly, he was going to have a blast. He continued to imagine how the battle would turn out when someone stepped out of the shadows.
"So you're Uzumaki..."
A/N: alright, so in this story we got more of a view of what all the characters (well most of the characters that is) think of Naruto. He's not very liked is he? And what is Miso's plan? And who is that mysterious shadow person who keeps spying on Naruto/comes out at the end of the chapter? Well, keep reading (duh)! And see you in chapter 6 where we will finally get to the actual fight!! see you in chapter 6!!
