Hi! Well this chapter came out later then I wanted it to but at least it's out, hehe.

Anyway, as always, thank you to everyone who followed, favourited and to Ice Night, thor94, Alex The Crystal Dragon Slayer, madeyemoody95 and cassjo for leaving reviews, they really encourage me keep writing.

Now, without further ado, here's chapter 13 of Naruto's New Life!

Naruto walked away from the academy in silence. He watched his feet walk but wasn't sure where he was going. His thoughts were still focused on what had just happened during kunai throwing practice. He had got it in the middle of the target! He had never done that before.

"Good work!"

A familiar voice stopped Naruto and made him turn around.

"Thank you, Yagura-sensei!" he said, bowing deeply, "I couldn't have done it without you."

"You don't have to bow," Yagura scoffed, walking towards his student.

Naruto lifted his head, a big smile was plastered on his face.

"Did you see it, sensei? That was amazing!"

Yagura nodded.

"Did you see the look one Mizuki-sensei's face, he was in shock!" Naruto began laughing, "And everyone else too, I didn't get to see Sasuke-teme's reaction but I wish I did."

"Sasuke-teme?" Yagura repeated.

"Yeah!" Naruto nodded enthusiastically.

"Naruto? Aren't you supposed to be still in the academy?"

The blonde-haired ninja rolled his eyes, "No, Mizuki-sensei's lesson is always the last one of the day."

"Ah yes, how silly of me to forget," Yagura said sarcastically. He suddenly remembered, he wanted to ask Naruto something.

"Naruto?"

"Hmm?"

"If you're happy what do you do?"

Naruto looked at his sensei in confusion, "What kinda question is that?"

"Just answer it."

Naruto scratched his head, "I guess I smile or laugh."

"What about when you're sad?"

"I frown or cry. What's the point of these questions?"

Yagura continued, "Why would you fake emotions?"

Naruto gulped but stayed silent.

"I was watching you in class, you said something that made the class laugh at you. What did your sensei ask you?"

"He asked which three jutsu's we are going to learn in the academy," he mumbled.

"Did you answer correctly?"

Naruto shook his head.

"Did you purposefully make yourself look like a fool? Because I know you're smart enough to know the answer to a question like that."

Suddenly, Naruto was filled with anger. How dare he accuse him like this? He didn't know what he had been through!

"You know me?" he repeated, "How? I've barely known you for a couple of days! And you watched me in class? I didn't ask you to follow me everywhere!"

Naruto looked up at Yagura in rage.

"You want to know why I put on a smile? Why I make a fool of myself? It's so people notice me. So I'm not hated. I thought you understood me, but now I know I was wrong."

He raced away from Yagura, tears stinging his eyes.

Yagura watched him leave.

"Why aren't you stopping him? How dare he talk to you that way?" Isobu said.

'No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have pressured him like that.'

"Hmm, if you ask me, he's in the wrong."

'Well that's exactly why I'm not asking you.' He countered.

Naruto laid on his bed, his thoughts in turmoil.

'Why did I say all that, I didn't mean it! He probably won't teach me now. He probably hates me now.'

A knock at the door broke him out of his thoughts.

'Is that sensei?'

He rushed to the door and quickly opened it.

"Hello Naruto!"

Naruto sighed, "Hi Jiji."

"You don't have to be too upset, I'm not staying for long," Sarutobi chuckled, "I just came by to give you your allowance for this month."

The Sandaime Hokage handed over a paper envelope to Naruto, who took it without hesitation.

"I didn't mean it like that, Jiji. I was just expecting someone else."

"Oh? Is that so, well, I won't keep you."

"Thanks Jiji."

"Goodbye Naruto."

"Bye." He said, closing the door.

Walking back to his bed Naruto laid down on his stomach and buried his head into his pillow.

He wasn't sure how much time passed when he decided.

'I'm gonna go look for him, I need to apologise.'

He stood and made his way slowly to the door. Taking a deep breath he opened the door and came face to face with,

"Yagura-sensei!" Naruto gasped, "W-what are you doing here?"

Yagura had his arm lifted and his hand was in a fist as he was just about to knock before Naruto had opened the door.

Yagura smiled, "I came to apologise Naruto," he said, "I'm sorry for pressuring you, I should've known better." he paused and waited for Naruto to reply but when non came he continued, "Even if you don't think it, I really do understand what you're going through. So, will you forgive me Naruto?"

Suddenly, he stumbled back when he was enveloped in a bone-crushing hug.

"Why are you apologising when I should be," Naruto cried, tears rolling down his cheeks, "I'm so sorry sensei, please, please forgive me!" his words were muffled by Yagura chest, however, he heard them perfectly fine.

Yagura smiled, "I'll forgive you only if you forgive me."

Naruto looked up at his sensei with tears slipping off his chin.

"W-what are you talking about? You don't need my forgiveness, you didn't do anything!"

Yagura shrugged, "Oh well, guess I can't forgive you then."

"I forgive you, I forgive you!" Naruto said quickly.

Yagura ruffled Naruto's blonde locks, "Then I forgive you too but now wet my shirt so I think you should prepare for a harder training session tomorrow," he added.

"What!" Naruto said, stepping away for his sensei, "That's not fair!"

Yagura shrugged again, "This is my favourite shirt."

Naruto stared at him for a moment before bursting out laughing, "You're so strange."

Yagura began to laugh as well, "I could say the same about you."

When they stopped laughing, Yagura looked seriously at his apprentice.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"I was serious, you know."

"About what?"

"Tomorrow your training is going to be tougher, but not only because of my shirt, also because you missed out on training today," Yagura smiled, "So be prepared."

"Wha- that's..."

"See ya!" Yagura said before shunshining away.

Naruto was left alone at the front of his apartment, staring at the spot that his sensei had disappeared from.

A wide smiled spread on his face, "See ya, sensei," he said before walking back into his apartment.
