Ok I am at it again. I am going to try and have long chapter not like the first one in this story. My goal for a chapter is hopefully around 5k words ( That's a lot of freaking words). But any way on to the next chapter. I may go back sometimes on chapters to make changes or add a few sentences. Just so you readers know and get a small kick out of it. But I'll try to keep the previous chapter I write the same so y'all don't have to go back and forth. I didn't add anything in chapter one so no need to go looking.

Naruto didn't feel all that well. Was not sure why at the moment. All he knew was that he was slowly coming to. After a few short moments a blunt feeling of pain all over his body. Funny, felt like he got trampled all over. Then after another few moments later he realized that he WAS trampled all over. He now recalled everything that had happened earlier that day. 'Dang it' he thought, 'didn't work like I though it would.'A faint "ouch" came from Naruto as he was rubbing his face a little bit. He didn't know wether his face hurt from the door or the feet stepping all over him.
When Naruto finally woke up he saw that the whole class was looking at him. The girls manly an annoyed look. As if that all wanted to trample him again. That or jump him. He'd be careful on his way back home. Buy the guys in class was half and half. Some where annoyed and some had a small blush. When Naruto noticed thing it made him remember what happened not to long ago. Plus he didn't even remember fainting. Until now.
Flashback:
A weak "Naruto-kun" is all that came from the mystery girl who at the moment had so much red on her face it looked unhealthy. At that moment it seem that she could hardly stand and then her trembling leg gave out from under her and fainted.
Naruto soon followed after her. Not because he was nervous but that after all his previous punishment he couldn't take much more. And either lucky or unlucky (depends on your view on it haha) the girl fell on the only place that miraculously was unharmed until the girl lost it. Once she hit that specific spot his eye popped out a bit then lost his consciousness.
End of flashback.
Apon realizing this Naruto also blushed but unlike that other guys he was a bit riper. But he was put to shame when he found the mystery girl that collapsed on him. She was red beyond believe. That made Naruto wonder if the whole class saw WHERE she landed. Stupid question he thought. Of course they did. They all had to come back to the class room when Iruka said it was a false alarm.
Naruto was pulled from his thoughts when I realized that Iruka was yelling at him. Naruto's eyes and mouth frowned at this.
"WHAT THE HELL YOU YOU THINKING WHEN YOU SET THAT BOMB OFF" yelled a loud Iruka sensei, seeming even louder than before.
"It's not like any one got hurt so what the big deal" Naruto responded. After thinking about what he said he was going to take that back because some one DID get hurt. He did.
Not feeling in the mood for an argument Iruka let out a noticeable sigh and dropped the subject at the moment. All he said after that was "See me after class Naruto."
Figures.' thought Naruto. 'Guess that's what I get for trying to be on time.'
Time skip: 4 hours later.
BAM!
That sound startled Naruto from his daydreaming. It was about a bowl or ramen the refill itself after you completely emptied the bowl. The best part was that he didn't have to wait 3 minutes for the hot water to cook the noodles.
Naruto wiped his eye a bit followed by a small yawn ( I yawned when I typed that). And looked up toward the direction the sound came from. His eyes refocused and saw Iruka glaring at him for not paying attention to his lecture.
Looking calm, but obviously annoyed, Iruka decided to reward Naruto with a question.
"Naruto I have a question for you" said Iruka while the test of the class smirked as if knowing Naruto was going to get the question wrong.
Naruto frowned at the class but he look at the mystery girl who looked at him from the corner of her eyes. When she notice that Naruto was looking at her she turned her head forward and look straight ahead at the wall with a small blush. Naruto noticed the blush and wondered what was wrong with her? Maybe she is sick and has a fever. Nodding to himself and agreeing that is what wrong before another BAM reverted his attention to the head of the class room again.
"NARUTO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU! NOW PAY ATTENTION!" Screamed Iruka and this time not hiding his frustration with the young blonde. Clearing his throat he asked, "What rank missions are genin given?"
Crap thought Naruto. Why do I have to get the hard question he asked himself.
"Naruto I just said which mission rank genins are given. You need to know this so you can know what to expect as a genin after the graduation exam," said Iruka.
Before Naruto answered the question some one else spoke up. "Sensei with all do respect." Said a female student standing up. She had long pink pink which fell down to the middle of her back. She has an abnormally large forehead and right under it were green eyes a small noes and pink lips. "Naruto won't become a genin. He's never pays attention in class and has already failed the graduation exam twice. He is just going to fail it again," said the girl in a matter-of-fact way. Then turned toward Naruto and stuck her tongue out at him mocking him. After the class started to laugh at Naruto. And one person said "nice one Sakura!" while laughing pretty dang hard.
Naruto just slumped in his chair hating all of them. Even his current crush hates him. Looking around the room at all of the kid laughing he saw the mystery girl again. Her face had a very light hint of red in her face. See was not looking at Naruto though. She was giving an unnoticed glare at pink haired biatch. Naruto wondered about this for a bit before looking toward another person.
This guy didn't seem to care what so ever about what was going on at the moment. He seemed he was just lost in his own thoughts starring kunai at the chair in front of him. He had long black hair that stood up and a bit of a hard face with onyx eyes. He wore a blue shirt and white cloth on his forearms. One the back of his shirt was a symbol. It looked like an oversized lollipop that was cut horizontally. It was red on the top and white on the bottom. And he wore white shorts.
Naruto then look toward Iruka. His face said it all. His face said I am sorry. Naruto could some how tell that Iruka had mixed emotions on Naruto. But right now it said that he didn't deserve this treatment. Naruto know that.
"Ok class settle down. Well lets ask someone else. Sasuke Uchiha can you answer the question please?"asked Iruka.
At the sound of the boys name many girls started cheering for him. "I know you can do it" and "You're the best Sasuke!" was commonly heard.
With a small sigh the boy answered "Rank D and sometimes C missions."and that was all he said. Once Iruka said "correct" verbal high fives and admiration for the boy filled the room. I was about to say that too thought Naruto. The boy just huffed it off all the props and continued to stare at the chair in front of him.
With a sigh Naruto wished that the class would be over. He was tired of being here in his seat with all of this people and the term people had a very harsh tone to it. Then as a miracle the bell rang to release the kids back home. But before Naruto could make it out the door a hand grabbed his shoulder and lifted him up. He hung there until everyone left then room. Some of the kids were giggling at him as they were leaving the room. The only two who didn't was Sasuke and the mystery girl. Sasuke ignored Naruto. But the girl looked at him ( all the while blishing madly as usual) and gave him a warm smile before she left.
'WHO IS SHE' Naruto wondered. Now he really wanted to know. Because that smile that she just gave him warmed Naruto up a bit. He did rightfully know why but he appreciated it.
"Where do you think your going? Remember that I asked to to see me after class?" asked Iruka.
"Oh yea that's right. So what's up why am I still here" asked Naruto crossing his arms and taping him toes on the floor after Iruka dropped him.
"Well why don't you look out side first and see if that some how jogs your memory."
Naruto walked up to the window and looked out side. Iruka was right when he implied that Naruto would remember. But this was more like a punch in the face rather then a 'jog' of the memory.
Paint was every where. Reds, blues, greens, yellows and more where scatter everywhere. At least the bomb worked but there was paint everywhere.
"Oh..."
"Yea. You are going to clean that up before you leave here understand?"
"How am I supposed to clean ALL of this up?! I mean I can wipe of the paint that got on the building and the fences but how am I supposed to clean the grass and the tree?" Asked a desperate Naruto. His eyes wide at good how effective the bomb was. A little too good.
"I'd say use a lot of water. But hey. If you finish in one hour ill take you to Ichiraku. What do you say?" asked Iruka. Before he never got a verbal response from Naruto. He was already out there working as fast as he could to beat an hour. Iruka smiled and went back to his work. Iruka thought to himself on maybe he should have Naruto more time. Then he decided against because Naruto is going to become a ninja after all.
Time skip: An hour and 10 minutes later.
"Man I am wiped out." Complained Naruto. He finished cleaning at the academy in 57 minutes.
"Well you woke hard so I felt like rewarding you for it. Why did you set that bomb off in the first place? It doesn't seem like that was for a prank." said Iruka.
"Was a distraction so I could run to my seat real quick without being noticed." said Naruto.
"Well smart thinking but that is why we take roll. So it didn't matter if the distraction worked. I still would have caught you, but still smart." said Iruka with a smile as they were greeted by Teuchi who ran the ramen restaurant.
"Hey there Naruto and Iruka! What can I get for you?" said Teuchi.
Puzzled Iruka responded "How do you remember my name?"
"Well Naruto comes here quite often. Usually for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
"How does he pay for all that ramen" asked Iruka wondering where in the world does this blonde get that money from.
"Simple. He just puts it all on your tab. Here it is too." said Teuchi with a gleam in his eye that said sucker.
A moment passed before Iruka could register what he was looking at. Then another moment passed before his jaw hit the counter from where he and Naruto were sitting.
"S-s-so m-many z-zeros!" Stuttered Iruka. Stunned on how much money he has 'spent' one the blondes ramen. With a some coming out of his ears what followed was expected to how loud it was shuck all of Konoha.
"NARUTOOOOO!"
At that moment Naruto did something he never does at Ichiraku's anymore. He put his head in the menu folder.
"HOW CAN YOU EAT THIS MUCH RAMEN!" Asked Iruka slamming the menu on the counter and practically shoving the tab in Naruto's face.
"I am sorry! I'm sorry! I just get really hungry!" Pleaded Naruto as he struggled to stay on the stole.
"YOU OWE ME BIG TIME NARUTO! YOU GOT IT!?" yelled Iruka.
"Yea ok I will pay you back." said Naruto. "But you are still treating me today right?"
"Sure. I said I'll treat you and I will." said Iruka.
The two ordered their ramen after their 'little' bickering and started to eat. Naruto was on his 8th bowl of ramen ( was pork ) when Iruka wish he could take back what he said about treating Naruto he he asked a question.
"Hey Iruka I have a question." said Naruto. He was wondering about that mystery girl. He wanted to know who that was. He never noticed her until today went she fainted and fell in him.
Iruka was a little surprised. Naruto never really had questions and when he spoke while he was eating ramen Naruto literally spoke while eating ramen. But this time Naruto was looking at his half full bowl ( yes I am an optimist ) and without a full mouth. Curious Iruka responded "Sure, what about?"
"Ummm it is actually about someone in my class."
"Really who? Is it about Sakura?" Asked Iruka. He sort of knew that Naruto had a small crush on her when he would always be really put down when she would say something mean to him.
"No it is about someone else."
Surprised and that curiosity got the best of him Iruka asked "Who then?"
Teuchi was also wondering who is person was that was on Naruto's mind so he was trying be be a quiet has be possibly could will looking like he was working.
"Well it is about that girl who was...well...on me." said Naruto blushing a little bit. Teuchi who over heard what Naruto said started coughing and wondering "How! He is still to young!"
"Oo ok what about her?" asked Iruka a bit taken by surprise that Naruto would bring her up.
"Well. What is her name. I never seen her before today. And I am just wondering who she is." asked Naruto as he looked to Iruka for his answer.
"Ok well her name is Hinata. She is smart girl and is above average marks in most of the things she does in class. If she had more confidence in herself and didn't hold back she would be the top kunohchi of the rookie of the year." said Iruka. After hearing that Teuchi nodded to himself and continued to cook the noodles.
"Wow." said Naruto. That was the only thing that came in his head as he looked back to his ramen. The name Hinata was repeating in his head over and over again before he spoke again. "What is her last name?"
"Hyūga. She is pretty talented. Here." Iruka handed a paper to Naruto with Hinata's name at the top. "This was an assignment that I am grading at home so I gave give it back to the class tomorrow. This is her work."
Naruto toke it and scanned the paper. Instead of reading what the paper had on it. It triggered his memory. He has seen this handwriting before. But where has he seen it? Naruto scan his memory but couldn't find a match.
He gave the paper back to Iruka and then asked "Hey where is my paper?"
"What do you mean? You were daydreaming during the whole assignment." laughed Iruka. Naruto sighed at that and frowned looking back at his ramen. Within seconds the Bowl was empty and the for of the stole and stood up. Stretching out his stomach he thanked Iruka for the meal who glared at Naruto and said "Remember. You owe me." Backing away slow, Naruto nodded and started his way back home.
On his way back home he could feel all the judgmental stares he was getting as he was walking home. But he for the most part was to distracted by the name that was constantly repeated in his head. Hinata Hyūga.
Once he stepped foot in his room he walked over to where his mirror was to put back his goggles on his dresser. Before he toke off his goggles he stopped and looked in the mirror, studying himself. Then a overwhelming feeling hit him. Hard. Still wearing his goggles he scrambled over to his bed and started frantically looking around under it. He throw things here a there until he finally found what he was looking for. Opening the small box he picked up the card that said "happy birthday" on it. Then the realization hit him again. The card's and Hinata's writing is the same.
