Chapter 3:

Meet Naru-Chan!

Naruto looked around his new room and smiled, they had arrived in Konoha two days ago and today his mother had bought them an apartment, this room was bigger then the his old one back with grandparents house. The blond had already setup S.H.I.N.O and the far corner, and AI computer was not happy about have to setup a new system grid map for Konoha….

"S.H.I.N.O I'm going to go look around and when I'm out I'll put up some Nanettes while I'm out! Bye!" The tiny boy ran out to explore the area

"Hey don't leave me here with that metal monster!" a tiny voice called out

Naruto stopped in his tracked and bent down "All right then come out and get over here and we'll go out together and S.H.I.N.O isn't a monster, Shakespeare!" the blond said as a tiny brown Meerkat come crawling out from under bed and into his waiting hand….

"I still can't believe my granddad got me a Meerkat for nin-pet!" the blond sighed as said market climbed up his shoulder

"Hey I'm bravest market of my family!" Shakespeare boasted as the blond walked out the door…

Naruto walked down the streets a smile on his face, a market on his shoulder. The blond haired boy was going about Konoha looking around placing his Nanettes as he went.

He stopped for a moment and watched as a tubby little boy was shooed away by his peers for being too big and slow to play with them, it made him frown. Naruto watched as the boy set free a butterfly, and walk away.

Naruto followed after the tubby boy "Hey!" he called out

The other boy turned around and looked at the blond curiously "um…Hi?"

Naruto smiled and ran over to the other boy "I saw how you saved the butterfly! That was really cool! My name is Naruto what's your name?"

"Choji…." The tubby boy replied

Naruto continued to smile "Want to hang out? I just moved to Konoha with my mother and I don't know many people…I going to enroll in ninja academy!" he said happily

Choji smiled at the blond "Ok! I'll show you around" Choji took Naruto's hand and lead him around Konoha

When the sun setting by the time the two were finished going around Konoha, they were now laying on the ground under a tree breathing hard and smiling happily.

"Choji…thanks for being my first friend…" Naruto said

Choji smiled "Same here Naruto, thanks for being my friend."

"Oy! You're in my favorite spot!" A voice called out

The two boys looked up and saw a boy with a pineapple shaped ponytail…

"Sorry…hey! How about you join us? My name is Naruto! And this is Choji!" Naruto asked

"Names Shikamaru…you just moved here today right? Everyone has been talking about that Meerkat that's been on your shoulder." Shikamaru said as he laid down next to Naruto and Choji

The three boys talked the rest of the day till their parents came looking for them.

The next day Naruto was running about town running errands for his mother.

"Ok, first I need to buy milk, eggs, and bread…." He mumbled to himself

When he reached the market, he began to look for what he needed.

"Oy Naruto! Are we almost done yet?" Shakespeare asked in annoyance

Naruto sighed "Yeah, we're almost done Shakes just be patient" the blond replied

Then an aroma reached Naruto's nose, a most delectable smell, the blond was compelled to follow. His nose lead him to a ramen stand, Naruto walked over and sat at the counter booth and looked around the place seemed empty except for one other boy with a high collard gray jacket who seemed to be talking to thin air.

"What can I get for you?" an old man asked

Naruto smiled "Miso Ramen please!" he said happily

Naruto didn't wait long for his meal, as he began to eat he noticed bugs gathering around him, he blinked, he had seen these bugs in a book before…

"Kikai bugs…wow! That must mean either there is a breeding ground for them here or theirs a member of the Aburami clan somewhere close by!" Naruto said as he took out a fish cake and gave it to the tiny bugs to feast on.

When he eat his fill of ten bowls Naruto paid the owner and left unaware of the new friend he made.

The other boy that was their hidden by his collar was a smile "he seems nice…I'll have to keep my eyes and bugs on him…"
