Naruto at this point didn't really give a rat's ass about what they were going to do in class. Most of the time he'd just sit in the back of the classroom looking at everyone else, the clock, or outside. The teacher, Ebisu, was still speaking; "...As I was saying, we're going to learn about exponents in algebra so everyone take out your text books and turn to page 50." Everyone began to moan as they lifted their books from their bags. Naruto was ready to raise his hand and it was only the beginning of class. Normally, he wouldn't ask to the bathroom a.k.a skip, until half way through class.

"Ebisu sensei, may I go to the bathroom?"

"Sure. Just don't be to long." Ebisu replied. Naruto arose from his seat and started to walk down the steps where the desks were aligned in long rows. Finally, Naruto was out in the hallway and away from anything he wanted to know about. He took a left down the hallway and walked towards the bathroom doors. He could hear something coming from around the corner and decided to check it out before he skipped. He kept himself hidden just in case it was some fight or something.

He could see that is was Kiba. But something was a little different from him though. He was being picked on by Neji and Shikamaru.

"Hey Kiba. You look like you're trying to hide from something." Shikamaru pointed out.

"N-no I'm not. I was j-just walking to my class." Kiba was a little scared. Never had he been confronted by Neji and Shikamaru.

"Well in that case before you leave, give us your lunch money." Neji spat.

"I-I don't have any." Kiba was really scared. Naruto leaned away from the wall so he wouldn't get caught eavesdropping.

"Don't think I won't hold back on knocking you out to get what I want" Neji hissed. Now Naruto knew he had no choice but to go out and help Kiba.

"Hey! Leave him alone." The blonde turned around the corner with anger.

"Naruto, just walk away. This has nothing to do with you." Shikamaru spat. Naruto was beginning to think that maybe it would be a good idea just to walk away and pretend that nothing was happening, but Naruto knew better than that and it was one of his friends in trouble.

"Sorry but I won't accept that..." the blonde said coldly.

"Hahaha...what makes you think you can take on both of us at once?" Neji pointed out.

"Well I don't know...maybe I can..." and in a flash Neji was pressed against the wall while Shikamaru was punched and lay on floor.

"Now...will you walk away and pretend that you didn't even come near Kiba or I'll be forced to kill both of you...your choice..." Naruto's voice was hoarse and heavy. The group knew that they didn't want to mess with something they knew about that could wipe out the whole village if awakened again.

"Okay, we'll walk off...but just you remember Kiba, Naruto won't be around to help you all the time." Neji added as they began walking away from the scene.

"U-ummm...Naruto?, thanks for helping me out."

"Don't worry, think of it as you were luckly I was around and helped out." As Naruto walked away, Kiba come running behind him, "Hey," he sticks out his hand "Friends?..." Naruto took Kiba's hand and shook it "Sure." The bell for the next period rang. The pair was trapped in the constant motion of students walking or running to class.

"Hey, I need to get going. See you later." Kiba said as he walked away. Now Naruto was left alone again, to think about what he was going to do, where he was going after school, or think about how the hell he was going to find someone to keep forever. The blonde waited out in the hall until the coast was clear to walk around. He took the next corner and walked into the bathroom. As he walked in, he was startled by Choji. They didn't say much but a slient wave was enough to get a message across. Naruto walked into one of the stalls and lock the door. He sat down and pulled out one of his kunai.

Slowly he pressed against his rist and slide the blade toward himself. The light skin begin to rip leave a trail of blood along the thin line. Suddenly, someone came walking in.
