Disclaimer: Naruto doesn't belong to me; he is the protected property of one Masashi Kishimoto.

The littlest Uchiha raven was currently gritting his teeth, glaring as hard as he could at the boys and girls around them. Some of them were whispering, some giggling, but every single one were looking at the blonde dobe. His blonde dobe! Unforgivable! How dare they, pesky commoners, even think about spending time with his idiot, none the less, watch him with those nasty eyes?

Ever since he was a baby, Naru-chan was his best friend- OK, his only friend, if you didn't count his rival, Hinata. Grrr, she too was on his kill list. Moving on; from the minute Sasuke met Naru-chan in all his glory, he firmly decided for them to be together forever. They would be best friends, never to be separated. When Naruto proclaimed he was gonna become a Hokage, Sasuke came home and told his parents and aniki that he would be an ANBU captain, the first man of the Hokage. He didn't understand why his mother laughed when he said it was to protect the blonde chibi.

Of course rivals and oppressions came his way; firstly the Yondaime, who freaked out whenever Naru-chan and he were together. If he wasn't his Hokage, Sasuke would sure pulverize him from taking his friend from him. Secondly, there was that ugly wretch, Hinata. She dared kiss him and hang out with him- thus taking Naruto's Sasuke time! Oh, how he longed to kill her… Next were their obnoxious friends, the pink witch and the blonde screech. It did not help that Naruto had a small growing crush on the pink witch, no sir! But Sasuke would put a stop to it, no worries.

And now, now the whole damn village has gone mad! When they started academy, others admired Naru-chan for his father but were too afraid to come closer; their parents told them a blonde haired monster will attack them if they play with the boy. Sasuke silently thanked Yondaime for his antics.

But soon enough, they all relaxed, when no evil monster came out, and started approaching the blue eyed child, who took the attention happily. And two months later Naruto, just like Sasuke, had a growing fan club. Unlike Sasuke's, they didn't stay on the side, no. They took every single opportunity to be around the dobe, to touch him and to play with him. This pissed the brooding Uchiha to no end. Naruto's open and friendly attitude did not help Sasuke's case of scaring them.

Seeing how his all mighty Uchiha glare did nothing to them, he decided he needed a plan. And help from somebody- somebody who didn't care all that much for Naruto, and would never turn to one of his fan clubs.

So, with that thought in his mind, he turned to Nara's, Akimichi's and Inuzuka's heirs- the three of them were trouble makers, with no manners and what's more important, disinterested in fawning over Sasuke's cute dobe.

From that day on, the four of them made up the Protectors League- everyday they crushed the horrid creatures that called themselves fans. It was hard; Naruto's admirers just kept growing and growing! Sasuke blamed it all on his cute face, beautiful eyes and wonderful personality. Even Sasuke had fallen for his adorableness, who wouldn't?

Thus, the five boys became somewhat of best friends- they all spent time together; no matter was it sleeping, eating or practicing their skills. Most of their quality time was in Naruto's house, due to Kiba's, Chouji's and Shikamaru's mom freaking out when seeing Naru-chan. If it wasn't for them being clan leaders' wives, he would've killed them. Itachi suggested they stayed at their compound, but the rest of the Uchiha's were no better; whenever Naruto came, they would gush around him, pinching his adorable scared cheeks, and all in all, piss Sasuke off.

The best solution was Namikaze's home, which was a good option. There, no one would bother them, because of the Yondaime; his act from previous years, when the people just started falling for his son, scared them shirtless- none dared to approach his house.

And so, Sasuke's calm days of enjoying his life beside his utterly cute blonde companion continued; sharing him with those three wasn't that bad- they all knew better than to mess with him. He did set a girl on fire when she asked Naruto to push her on a swing. And in return for them helping Sauske, and thus Yondaime out was their village leader's eternal gratitude- which was demonstrated with less homework and Yondaime himself teaching them some basics.

Life was good; Sasuke thought and snuggled closer to the dozing off sunshine.

Chapter XI Preview: Naruto's Graduation Day was coming closer each day; the one that Minato let him take, at least. Kushina was so sure her son will pass- there was no harder working kid out there than her little angel! Minato on the other hand, was mussing over his sons weird connection with that Chunnin teacher… okay, he was teensy bit jealous.

ReSpOnD tImE:

Anonymus: Look here, I know you do not like her all that much, but there is no need for that. I'm still unsure myself with who Naruto will finally end up with, so bear it till the end. This story's point is Minato and Kushina being in Naruto's life more than romance. :D

Mysty Circe: Awww, I know! I adore him- he's much more angsty and emo than S'uke.

OracionMist: I guess we are on the same brain wavelength. ^^ I hope you're satisfied with this. And yeah, Naruto will tell Sasuke and Sakura soon, right after the true Genin exams- and Shika will, like always, figure out the bits. Thanks!

MugetsuIchigo: Once a day not fast enough? I'll think of another solution then… Thanks for reviewing!

Demon Enma: Naruto is quite addictive, isn't he? Here's more!

Oh dear, I'm already past 40 on the review list… That makes me so happy and giddy inside! Thank you guys, you're the best!
