Wow! I can't believe that Jailbird is almost at 100 reviews! It seems like just yesterday that I posted this story, thinking that my review count would be capped at 50. Thank you guys for reading and reviewing every chapter. I admit, your reviews make writing this story way more fun! Also, I apologize for the very late update. I have been busy finishing up my classes for the semester and also trying to find a place to live, so all my free time had to be used for other things. Now here's chapter 9!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, so suing me would be useless.

"Wake up Naruto."
Naruto slowly opened his eyes and saw Kakashi standing over him. The blonde sat up and stretched his arms over his head.
"What's going on Kakashi?" Naruto asked, standing up from his cot.
"I was wondering if you would like to out on the yard for your rec time." Kakashi stated. Naruto stood there for a few seconds and nodded his head. Naruto looked around the cell.
"Where's Sasuke?" Naruto asked, vaguely remembering the raven haired man sitting on his bed.
"He's in his education program. Most inmates here never finished high school, so we offer a way for them to earn a GED." Kakashi signaled Naruto to cuff up and once the blonde was handcuffed, Kakashi led Naruto out of the cell block.
"So how are you holding up?" Kakashi asked while waiting for the guard to open the cell block doors. Naruto shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm not sure. If I can get through a whole day without anyone trying to attack me, that would be great." Naruto mumbled. Kakashi just sighed in response.
"Unfortunately, that is a common aspect of prison life. When men are locked up with other men for long periods of time and with limited contact to the opposite gender, they would do anything to get release. Even if that means sleeping with another man." There was a brief moment of silence before Kakashi spoke again.
"So has Sasuke been helping you get used to things around here?" Naruto nodded his head.
"Yea." Kakashi sighed in relief.
"That's good. Maybe with you here, he won't be sent to solitary so often. He really just needs someone he can talk to." Kakashi mumbled to himself. Naruto tilted his head in confusion.
"Did you say something?" Naruto asked. Kakashi shook his head.
"Nope. Just thinking to myself."
Once they reached the door that lead outside to the rec yard, Kakashi uncuffed Naruto. Naruto was about to step outside, but Kakashi grabbed his wrist.
"Hold on there. I gotta frisk you first. Hands on the wall." Kakashi led Naruto towards the wall. Once Naruto was in position, Kakashi started to rub the back of his hand over the back of Naruto's legs and his chest. Once he was done searching, the silvered haired guard lightly pushed Naruto towards the door.

When Naruto stepped outside into the rec yard, he took a minute to look around. The yard was huge, with about 450 people currently on the yard. There was a large grassy area surrounded by an asphalt walking path. Basketball courts were scattered around the yard, with different groups of inmates occupying the courts. It honestly looked like a college courtyard. The only thing that set it apart was the barbed wire electric fence surrounding the yard, with large guard towers also surrounding the perimeter. After his quick inspection of the area, the blonde started walking around the track. When he passed a basketball court, Naruto started to walk towards it. Right before the blonde reached the grass, he heard a voice that made him stop.
"I wouldn't go over there if I were you." Naruto turned around and was face to face with the guy he ran into in the cafeteria. "That area is controlled by the Wolf Gang. I guarantee the second you step into their area, you will be jumped." Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you….uh… what's your name?" Naruto asked, sticking his hand out for the other to shake. The silvered haired man grabbed Naruto's hand and shook it.
"Kabuto. Kabuto Yakushi." Kabuto started walking along the path and Naruto ran up to follow him. "You're new here, aren't you?" Kabuto asked. Naruto nodded his head. Kabuto stopped walking, turned towards Naruto and smiled. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna make you do anything. I'm only here to offer my friendship."
I know Sasuke said not to trust anyone in here… But he stopped me from getting jumped. He can't be THAT bad… Naruto thought.
"Ok, deal." Naruto said. Kabuto smiled and pat Naruto on the back. Unknown to Naruto, Kabuto dropped something down Naruto's shirt. After walking around for a few minutes, a horn rang out over the yard, signaling the end of rec time. As the inmates walked inside of the jail, a prison guard was frisking the inmates and a drug sniffing dog was standing by. When Naruto walked passed it, the dog started barking, alerting the nearby guard.
"Excuse me. Will you come with me?" The guard asked, grabbing Naruto by the arm and pulling him towards a nearby room. Naruto looked at the guard, a confused look on his face.
"What's going on? What did I do?!" Naruto yelled. Once inside of the room, the guard grabbed the blonde's shirt and pulled it off, the small bag that Kabuto dropped fell to the floor.
"Whoa, that's not mine!" Naruto yelled after getting a glimpse of the bag with white powder. The guard shook his head and roughly handcuffed Naruto.
"Yea, yea, that's what they all say." The guard then led Naruto out of the room.
"Where are you taking me?" Naruto asked. The guard kept pulling Naruto forward.
"To solitary. We'll let the warden deal with you."

Once Sasuke returned from his GED class, he went into his cell to put his books away. Noticing that Naruto wasn't there, he walked over to where Kakashi was sitting.
"Hey Kakashi, where's Naruto?" Sasuke asked. Kakashi looked towards the log that was handed to him after the people on the yard came back.
"Hmm… That's weird. He went outside, but the guards never signed him back in. Let me check." The silvered haired guard picked up the phone and called the head of the guards. After a few minutes, he hung up the phone and looked at Sasuke with a troubled look on his face.
"Well?" Sasuke asked. Kakashi sighed.
"Naruto was taken to Solitary Confinement. They said they found drugs on him."
Meanwhile in another part of the jail, Kabuto was sitting in front of a large wooden desk.
"Well? How did it go?" The voice on the other side of the desk asked. Kabuto smirked.
"They found the drugs on him. Naruto Uzumaki will be sent to solitary and will be placed in the block you patrol, Warden." Orochimaru smirked and licked his lips.
"Well my little fox, it looks like you'll be staying with me for a while. And if I get my way, you will be staying with me for a VERY long time."
At long last, chapter 9 is complete! Yes, Naruto made a very stupid decision, but it had to happen to help the plot move along. Now one of the reviewers asked if I had an update schedule for this story. In the beginning, I had one planned out. But once school started picking up, I had to abandon it. So now I update whenever I get inspired and I have time. Plus, I'm probably going to be busy moving this month, so that may delay the next chapter longer. Besides that, please review! Let's get this story to 100 reviews by the end of this year! Also, if anyone has made fan art for this story, please message me with the link. I would draw something, but I can't draw for the life of me.
