"But first of all" Naruto took out a kunai and a scroll. "This is a kunai and this a scroll" he said showing each of the items to the entire class. Then, he kept the kunai on the scroll. Two handsigns and a cloud of smoke later only the scroll was there. The others didn't actually find this amazing; in a Shinobi hidden village a fuinjustsu scroll was actually just a usual thing. Many were even starting to think that this was Naruto's last prank before he became a Genin.
"Is the scroll a kunai?" He asked.
It was a random civilian boy who answered. "Of course not you dobe? Are you stupid?" The others were also starting to be convinced that this was just another of the blondes pranks.
Naruto, on the other hand, seemed satisfied. "Fine, you all have more common sense than your parents" Needless to say the comment was not well received.
However before anyone else could start shouting, Naruto continued. "On October 10 twelve years ago, that is, on the day I was born. The Kyuubi attacked Konoha. Our textbooks say the fourth killed it using himself as a sacrifice. This is wrong. The Kyuubi, the greatest of the tailed beasts, cannot be killed because tailed beasts are simply sentient mass of chakra given a will."
"You Brat! Who are you calling simply sentient chakra? I will squash you like a bug!" The mighty beast was enraged.
"Just keep quiet for some time you furball. These are kids! They won't get it if I start giving them your self-intro!" Before Kyuubi could say anything, Naruto shut him down
"So, instead he sealed into a child who was born on that day. That is me. I am the Jinchuriiki, the host of the Kyuubi and I am proud of it!" Naruto told everyone.
He continued "I should have been worshipped for keep the beast from this village, but instead I was treated like scum. Even you all are part of it. Every single one of you, except for Hinata-chan and maybe…..Teme. Let me remind you once again, if you as much as breath of this outside, except tell your parents that you know it, you all are eligible for death."
The entire class was staring with wide eyes. The kyuubi was the bogeyman of Konoha, a monster so feared people spoke of its name only in hushes. Many couldn't comprehend the situation at all.
Naruto smiled "But I am ready to let go of all that happened till today and open a clean slate. After all, children shouldn't be punished for their parent's misgivings." Naruto suddenly felt very awkward seeing all of them looking at him as if he had grown a second head. "uhhhhh…..Thank you?" He finished lamely.
They all kept staring for some more time till Kiba finally broke out of it. "There...is n-no…way that is right?..He i-is lying right Iruka-sensei?" The entire class focused on the scarred chunin.
Iruka shook his head "Naruto-kun has said only the truth. Now that you know the reason your parents tell you to stay away from him, I implore you to think carefully and reach the true conclusion. Personally, I have full trust in both Naruto-kun and the fourth's work. I believe that this is Naruto Uzumaki and not kyuubi. As much as I would like to talk on this topic WE HAVE A DAMNED TEAM ASSIGNNING TO DO! SOME OF THE SENSI'S ARE ALREADY WAITING OUTSIDE. SO KEEP QUIET AND LISTEN TO ME."
Iruka went through the list staring at team one. When he reached team 7, Sakura seemed a little nervous that Naruto was on her team but Sasuke seemed a bit happy in fact. Hinata was upset that she was not placed in the same team as Naruto. But Naruto consoled her and asked her to go out to lunch with her team.
Naruto said "Hinata, invite your teammates when you go for lunch. They are going to be watching your back in the field, so you need to know them very well. Okay?"
"O-okay…Naruto-kun" When their eyes met, both smiled.
Naruto turned around and got close to Sasuke who was slowly being cornered by OSFC. As soon as the girls saw the Jinchuriiki, most of them fled. The class was currently in a state of utter confusion. No one had formed definite opinions of the blonde. They all wanted to confirm with their parents and ask their opinions.
Naruto reached Sasuke "Teme. Come on let's go and eat lunch."
"Huh Dobe! Why would I want to eat with you?"
Naruto's tone turned loud "Oh! Otherwise you will have to sit alone and eat AT THE ROOFTOP OF THE ADJACENT BUILDING"
Sasuke was seething. Now he couldn't hide from these damned fangirls. The dobe had planned and trapped him! The only safe place left is with him since everyone seems to be avoiding him. Plans made, Sasuke replied "Dobe, As much as I hate it, I will come with you"
Naruto broke into a grin "I know this place that serves excellent Ramen" Both of them set off.
Soon, Naruto and Sasuke had reached Ichiraku Ramen. Naruto turned to face Sasuke "Teme, this is the single best Ramen shop in the whole world!" His tone was one of utter ecstasy. Sasuke rolled his eyes. Leave it to the dobe to make even a ramen stand so dramatic.
Naruto's tone then turned somber. "This is also one of the only places in Konoha where I can eat without getting overcharged, kicked out or given bad food."
Sasuke was surprised. He always knew Naruto was hated for something other than his pranks. There was no way the blond managed to prank this many people! As annoying as he was, Naruto was also one of the only people who could understand his pain of solitude. But in his case, he had been pampered and looked at like a prince instead of the anger and disgust at Naruto. This made him count his lives blessings.
Naruto didn't give the last uchiha anymore time to think. He said "Come on! Let's eat before you go all Emo."
All the pity he felt for the blond drained within a second.
Naruto entered inside with an "Tadaima" only to be replied with "Okaeri"
Sasuke, even in all his emoness, couldn't help but smile. He moved the hangings and sat next to Naruto. The restaurant owner seemed surprised for a second, then he asked Naruto "Naruto, you seemed to have bought a friend. Why don't you introduce him?"
Their answer was instant. Naruto and Sasuke both pointed at the other and shouted "THIS TEME/DODE! MY FRIEND! NO WAY IN HELL!"
