I think I succeed in trying to make the chapter longer but I'm not going to guarantee that this on will.
My last update got the story over 10 000 words…I think…
I don't know how many hits I have but I do know that I have 32 reviews…
I didn't get time to write today since I had some stupid concert and my friend pretty much killed me of…kind of…stuffing up….
Anyway, I'm going to write as much as I can today and probably upload this tomorrow so when you guys are reading this remember I took about two days to write this….
Anyways!
Please read!
PS. I thank you guys for the reviews! I didn't get time to check them much, I only got around two minutes to check at school since my teacher yelled at me for going on to something that had nothing to do with the subject…I only clicked on it when she started so I pretty much only read to number but I did read the first few…kind of…
PPS. I'm sorry for the lateness of this, remember, I have revision to do so…yeah…it's a great excuse isn't it?

Chapter 7 – Work
By JUUBI
Last Chapter…
"Naruto-chibi!! I missed you so much!" a hyper Shukaku was sitting on Naruto's stomach.
Naruto chuckled, "It's nice to see you too Shukaku-nii-chan."
Suddenly a voice interrupted them.
"What is this?"
This Chapter…
"What is this?"
Naruto looked at the person; well he tried since it was kind of hard with some one sitting on you. Before the guy could start talking again, Shukaku squealed.
"ITCHY!"
Naruto frowned, 'Itchy?' He had heard that name before but where? (AN: I know! Pick me!)
Shukaku got off him and jumped at the new comer, letting Naruto turn his head to look.
No shock
No shock at all. Guess who? It was Vampire-san of course. Naruto got off the ground and brushed himself off. He grinned at Itachi and…
"Vampire-san! Nice to see you again!"
Itachi's eyebrow twitched again this time it was going to fly off his face instead of wiggling off. He ignored Naruto and turned to Yoko instead.
"Yoko-sama, we have another mission."
Shukaku squealed again before knocking Itachi to the ground and pretty much slobbered on his face like a over friendly puppy, but since Shukaku is too cute Itachi didn't kill him, instead, he smashed him into a wall…
Nekomata sighed, Shukaku was too much, but Yoko obviously brightened at Itachi's news.
"Yes! Another mission and we also have a new member! Wahoo Yeah!
"How do you know Itchy, Naru-chan?" Hachi asked while looking at Nekomata trying to revive Shukaku.
"Oh! I was walking down the street one day and-" Naruto began
"I saved him from a guy that was trying to mug him." Itachi, being Itachi, stopped him right in the middle.
"Well it doesn't matter, they know each other, Whoohoo, WhooptyDoo, NOW what's the mission my violent friend?" Makumori interrupted the…craziness.
Itachi straightened out his shirt and began his report.
"There are a few new gangs that have decided to start, they aren't really that strong yet but they have started a few street fights and also hurt a few innocent people who were watching, they have stolen from shops, broken into houses, but other than that they don't have many dangerous weapons or too many strong fighters. We have been asked to reduce or destroy them." Itachi explained, taking out a file from his bag.
"Boss said this mission will be better for you guys to do since the gangs a recruiting any people at all and it would be best for you guys since they are expecting more teenagers than adults. Although we could send some of our members, they are all busy with something so I can't really help either."
Yoko sighed. "You haven't been doing many missions with us anymore Itchy, we're missing you and your brother's teamwork, and you know you guys work the best together since you can pretty much read each other's minds."
"I rather work with you." Itachi smirked when Yoko to blush red.
"Speaking of my little brother, where is he?" Itachi continued.
With Yoko unable to continue speaking without spluttering, Hoko continued for her. "Sasu-chan probably has a hangover, we had a party yesterday and the guys forced sake down his throat with caused him to have a fight against Rock Lee who also was drunk, luckily we didn't celebrate here in our office so we didn't break anything here excepted when we had to drag Sasu-chan back to his house and we had to break the door open since we didn't have a key." Hoko said in one big breath.
Itachi sighed. "I told that brat to not get drunk. How come Rock Lee is okay but not Sasu-chan?" He asked looking at Lee who was talking to Naruto who looked like he was freaked out…
"Well it seems that Lee never gets hangovers, and plus, he says that it is not youthful to have hangovers. Gai is pretty much the same…" Raiju filled in.
"That's great. Anyway, the mission doesn't need to start until 2 weeks or more since they aren't really in a hurry since they already have some help, they called us because they weren't sure if they needed any more back up. So don't worry yourselves, it's not hurried or anything."
Yoko looked over at Naruto, who was fitting in with the others quite nicely, he was talking to Shino, who never really talks anyway, and even had Neji interested. The 9 Biju have already decided that Naruto would start straight away, begin with…
DUN DUNDUN DUN!
Putting all their paper work on to the computers…

"Keep the noise down! I can't sleep." A Sleepy Iruka glanced into the room, eyeing a triumph Naruto, who was doing a victory dance in front of his laptop.
"I finished! I finally finished!" Naruto yelled happily sending all the files to the Biju computer so he didn't have to take his laptop up to the base after school, since if he did he would have to pack it up and put it in his case.
"That's great, it's obviously not you homework so I don't really care." Iruka said before hurrying back to his warm cozy bed…
Naruto flopped back down on of his chair and looked at the clock…and then jumping up again realizing that it was Monday and he was late for school.
He did the normal routine, brushing his teeth, cleaning up, stuffing anything he found into his bag, and then rushing out but not before grabbing some of Kakashi's breakfast. It seemed that Kakashi always woke up before Iruka.
Naruto was a little worried, his mask was slipping a little. Actually, the truth was that he had worn a mask all of his life he didn't know what was himself anymore. Was it the hyperactive brat? Was it the lazy dude? Or was it the genius? He didn't know anymore, he wasn't comfortable enough with anyone to let go, not Iruka, not Kakashi, not Kiba, not any of the Biju, not even his new friends. But indeed his mask was slipping, but what scared him was not the mask falling, it was what was behind the mask.
But he didn't worry, only a little, after all, Uzumaki's do not worry, they get more alert and tense but never to worry, maybe a little, but never worry.
He walked over to his locker, putting his bag in and taking out random books. Kiba greeted him with Hinata by his side; they walked together to their class with Kiba doing their talking of them.
"Good morning class. Today we have a new student. Please treat him kindly. Why don't you introduce yourself?" Naruto's head fell to the desk and he began to sleep.
"I'm Uchiha Sasuke." The name woke Naruto up instantly. He wondered why most of the members of the Biju gang when this school, or at least coming to this school. Naruto haven't seen Sasuke much over the week, it seemed that he didn't live in the base.
Naruto had found out that most of the gang members' parents have died over the years or maybe they only had one parent and joined the gang to have some fun while making money to help their families. So that means that most of them lived in the base or some times slept there.
The Uchiha's have a family, all their family members are alive but it seemed that they didn't like their father much since he was a strict man and have pretty much planed their live for them. They had joined the gang to get away from their father and also try to out smart him. Naruto didn't ask anyone but he did research it, sometimes it was nice being good at technology stuff.
"I like learning new things and I don't like fangirls." Immediately all the girls started drooling, not knowing the fact that they were the actually fangirls that he was talking about.
'I'm not a fangirl so Sasuke-kun has to like me! I'm so pretty he will so fall in love with me! It's good that he doesn't like fangirls, which means he won't fall of Ino or Sakura!' this was probably the thoughts of the girls.
An in reality Sakura and Ino were rolling their eyes at the love hearts that the other girls were sending to Sasuke. Having to do their part of the acting they turned to each other and glared, to the other girls this looked like they were competing with each other for Sasuke's heart or something like that so that means that they didn't have to actually at up a catfight until lunch. Kiba, Hinata, Sasuke and Naruto smirked, if you think about it, it's quite funny how they girl were acting.
'This cat fight will be interesting.' Naruto thought, he knew all of the gang knew martial arts and stuff like that so it would be interesting watching them fight. Although they wouldn't be able to use special moves, they would still sneak some, so it would be like a training fight. (AN: how do you spell that word that means fighting practice? Was it sparing? Spearing? If some one knows how to spell please tell me. I really suck at spelling stuff…thanks.)
"Alright, Uchiha, you can sit next to Naruto."
Naruto grinned at him as he sat down but Sasuke didn't smile back or give any sign that he recognized him. Naruto's grin flattered, he knew that he didn't see him much in the gang meeting but he should at least be able to recognize him…
Even thought he was a little saddened, Kiba immediately erased his sad thoughts, "did you hear? We don't have any homework of the next week!"
Without bothering to see it the teacher was talking, Naruto let out a cry of joy, "WHOOHOO!"
Silence
Giggles
"It seems that you are very happy about the chess club, would you like me to sign you up?"
"Huh?" Naruto was confused, he obviously wasn't listening.
So, Kiba answered of him, "I don't think that you would want Naruto to be in your chess club sensei, he would be too lazy to even bother to move one of the pieces, but I'm sure Shikamaru wouldn't mind signing up.
"Huh?" This time it was Shikamaru getting confused.
The teacher glared at Naruto before continuing with the lesson.
RING! End of class, beginning of lunch…
"HE'S MINE!"
"HE WOULDN'T LIKE A BITCH LIKE YOU!"
"YOU'RE THE BITCH, BITCH!"
Naruto sighed, he didn't expect it to start so soon, he though they would start a little later so that he could have a little nap before they did.
He was sitting with Kiba, Hinata, Neji and Shino. The other's weren't at school or sat with another group. They have become friends easily, since Naruto was kind of like Shikamaru, he fitted in quite easily.
Taking out his lunch box, the only thing he will ever eat from at school since he can not and will not eat from the canteen. He took out an apple and sat back to watch the fight.
The fight…
Let's just say that it wasn't really entertaining, since they weren't allowed to use they moves and was only allowed to scratch and bite like a normal high school girl, it wasn't altogether to best…
And of course there was a lot of yelling…
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FALUT!"
"MY FALUT? HOW IS IT MY FALUT?"
"YOU BROKE MY NOSE!"
"YOU DESERVE IT!"
And so on.
It didn't seem that they would stop, so Naruto decided to stop the fight since he was getting quite a big head ache from it all.
"You two better shut up; my headache is getting bigger from your yelling and shouting. I thought you guys were supposed to be fighting, bitch slapping whatever but not yelling." Naruto interrupted, rubbing his temples.
"You guy's are best friends, right? Well act like it and not fight over some guy with duck-butt hair. Shake hands."
"What?" Sakura and Ino were both shocked, no one was supposed to stop them, they had no idea what was going on when Naruto decided to stop their screeching.
"I said shake hands." Still shocked, they shook hands, looking at Naruto not getting what was happening.
"Good, now give a big hug, a big best friend hug." They obeyed.
"Excellent, now give us a deep opened mouthed kiss, French." Both Sakura and Ino snapped out of their shock. They gave Naruto a punch on both sides of his head at the same time while yelling 'BAKA!'
"Good, now everyone felling better?" Sakura and Ino looked at each other before looking at the ground. They nodded.
"Now, let me sleep." Before Naruto could put his head down, the bell rung.
RING!
He groaned before getting his stuff and following Kiba to his next class, it was a good thing that they had the same classes; it meant that he didn't have to pay attention to his schedule, but it did mean getting stuck with dog-boy all day.
Well now he got another problem, he was meeting up with all these people that he knew from the past and it was giving him way too many flashbacks. Back when he was little, when he was still in the orphanage, he was a hyper kind of kid, but now, he is a bored, boring and sleepy blob of stuff sitting at a desk at school with a maths teacher yelling at him for not doing his homework and stuff like that…
End of the day…
Naruto walked out the front gates of the posh school, waiting for Kiba and the rest to come out. It seemed that they all walked together; well at least most of the time. Sakura, Ino and Hinata were friends, even at the school so that means that if anyone saw them walking together it wouldn't seem suspicious.
Naruto stared up at the sky, he noticed that the clouds were a little grey; they seemed to get darker when he looked further away, the clouds were moving quickly and Naruto decided that it was going to rain soon. He sent a mental message to Kiba for them to hurry up and get over to where he was standing but it seemed that he didn't receive it since Naruto stood there for 15 minutes waiting for hem and they still haven't come out.
The only sign that they gave was Hinata coming out to say that they were coming out soon, leaving him out in the cold still waiting.
A drop of water landed on his nose, looking up Naruto noticed that the grey clouds have arrived and were resting above. He sighed, he didn't bring his umbrella since it was quite sunny in the morning and he didn't watch the weather either, he missed the news because he was loading a few files on to the Biju network for the mission a few of them had done. Naruto never did any of the mission but Yoko had told him that he was aloud to go to the on Itachi had come and told them about.
More water came; his hair became damp in just a few minutes. Sniff…AACHOOO!!! He groaned. He hated the cold when he had no cloths to protect him from it.
"Damn it, stupid rain."
Suddenly, the rain stoped, or at least Naruto couldn't feel it falling on him anymore. Looking up he saw something bright protecting him from the rain.
"Uh, Dobe, be careful, you'll catch a cold."
Looking to the person next to him, Naruto realised that it was Sasuke. He didn't even bother replying to the Dobe comment, Naruto didn't really care anyways. But he did something he hadn't done in a long time; smile a real genuine smile, like his big foxy grin only real. Naruto didn't know why, he doesn't really know Sasuke but it was just something about him that makes Naruto want to smile.
Maybe it was because it was the mask that he tried so hard to keep, to hide behind, but it didn't matter, usually it would take Naruto a long time to smile at someone, a real big one as well. But at Sasuke, it seemed a little different. Naruto mostly just smiled when he was with family.
"Thank you" he muttered, he surprised himself with the grin he broke out with.
"Un"
Kiba and the rest ruined the beautiful scene.
"NARU-CHAN"
Naruto mentally groaned. Kiba was very annoying and seemed to have the perfect timing for ruining Naruto's day, but since he was holding a huge box of chocolate in front of his face it didn't matter.
"CHOCOLATE" he said grabbing the box of chocolate out of Kiba's hands, ignoring the looks from the others.
Kiba laughed and let him take it from him, "I knew you liked chocolate, sorry about making you guys wait so long, Ino got her hair stuck between a thingy so we had to get he out."
Sasuke just grunted, "What's the chocolate for?"
Kiba blinked, "Oh, the chocolate was for Kyuubi-sama but I brought an extra box so Naruto can have it." He replied looking at Naruto who was hugging the box and nuzzling against it like a kitten.
"Well, we better go now; boss might get angry with us for being so late."
"Yeah let's go."
They left, dragging the happy Naruto behind them, who was still hugging the box of chocolate.
"By the way Naruto-kun, Kiba already ate half of it…"
Well, I still have exams but I'm just doing revision now so I can update a little. Last time I had a small test as kind of a practise or something…
But I did get to write this chapter, it is around 10 pages so be glad, I'm not one of those writers who can write 20 pages in like a few hours. My friends can do that though…
Anyways, I hope you guys review.
It surprises me how many people have added me to they alert list but they don't review, I mean, I usually read how many reviews a story has before I read it, I don't know if you guys do but I do. So I would appreciate it if you guys review more.
You guys can even do what RaitenKitsune (thanks so much) did and just go 'Update ASAP' if you want.
By the way, I'm going to make a list of the people who reviewed while I was writing it, I love you guys and thanks for the support. But I can't do that right now since I haven't finished…
I'll update as soon as I can but I still have to revise for the exams since I'm not a genius like some people…
Well, I have millions of ideas and each of them doesn't work!
Thank you for reading and thank you so much for reviewing!
If you love me you would review gives puppy-dog face pretty please!
Thanks!
