Frantically, Naruto rushes to get ready, 'Oh my god, first day of school and I am already running late I am such a genius!' He hears a small knock at the door followed by Chives walking in. "Sir, your father is waiting downstairs."
"Is it time to go already!" Naruto panics shoving two more books in his bag, and some of his paint brushes sliding his feet into his shoes without tying the laces he bolts down the stairs in jumbled mess tripping on the way down. Gathering himself at the end of the stairs he runs right past his father into the door. "ow"
"Naruto are you ok? What is wrong?" Minato helps him up brushing him down, "What are you in a hurry about?"
"I am late for school and it is my first day!" He shouts out in one breath and continues to blabber on, "Then Chives said you were down here waiting to take me, then I didn't want to keep you waiting, but forgot to tie my shoes and !" he frantically shouts out his words jumbling together in an indecipherable code."
Minato straightens his clothing laughing slightly, "Well, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you are not wearing the right clothes to go to this school."
"What do you mean is there a specific type of clothing I need?" Naruto looks down at himself; he stares at his ripped blue jeans, and orange tee.
"I didn't get you this yet did I?"
"Get me what?"
"This school requires a uniform." Minato laughs at the shocked expression on his face, "Come on lets get you to school, I am pretty sure I can purchase one later, Lady Tsunade can't kill me for one day" he laughs. Then they make their way out to the car, and off to his new school, Konoha High.
Arriving at the golden gates Naruto gapes in awe at the giant stone statue pillars of educated philosophers over the time periods, stopping at the doors they climb out of the car, Minato laughs at the look on Naruto's face just grabbing his arm to pull him along to the front office. The marble floors form a picture of the Konoha symbol the point pointing directly at the principles door, Minato knocks, waits for a reply and walks in.
"Tsunade-sama." He greets her kissing the top of her hand. "Pleased to see you're doing so well."
Laughing Lady Tsunade sits down at her desk, "Oh, Minato as charming as usual to an old woman like me, how may I help you today?" Laying her chin on her folded hands she smiles looking over to Naruto.
"Well, I would like you to meet Naruto… my son." She sits back in her chair a smile still on her lips.
"Well, well, you're the infamous Uzumaki I have been hearing about; you defiantly have your father's looks." Blushing he looks down at the floor, "And you act like him to. So I am expecting that you want to get him into class today?"
"Yes, today would be wonderful; I assume you already have his schedule made out and everything?" Minato answers. Tsunade then fiddles a little with her computer, printing out a few papers, and writing a few notes down.
"I have all his core classes, but after I got the transcripts from his other school, all he needed was his science and gym credits so he has about 4 free hours to fill with electives of his choice. So what will it be Naruto?" Before he could open his mouth Minato intervenes.
"How many art classes is he allowed to have?"
"Well, we try not to encourage students to take multiples of classes such as art because we want them to challenge themselves academically, but in your case I could make an exception. How about three art classes and a T.A. for an art class, does that sound good to you Naruto?"
With a warm smile he nods, already enjoying himself in this new school. Lady Tsunade hands him his schedule and automatically first hour gym, then straight into science, 'Great the two classes I hate the most back to back… this will be fun…' Lady Tsunade then gets up from desk gesturing to the door.
"For today Naruto I will let it slide that you are not wearing a uniform, but starting tomorrow I would like to see you in the schools assigned attire. I run a very pristine school, with strict regulations and a clean, crisp uniform is required amongst all students." Minato pats his shoulder.
"Don't worry after you go through school today you will be fitted for your new uniform, but for now just get to know the school, and your classes and don't forget to enjoy yourself ok." Then Tsunade leads them down to the gym, entering the huge metal doors the room is filled with shouting, whistles, sweat, and laughter. A tall man with bowel cut black hair frantically blows on his green whistle, he wears short that seem slightly too short for him, or are just awkward in general and a with tank skin tight, with green matching strips down the sides (basically a tradition gym teacher look with the plastic shorts and with tank). Tsunade approaches this strange man and talks to him in a low voice he looks over at Naruto and his father with a sort of sparkle in his eye and gives Lady Tsunade a thumbs up.
"SASUKE!" he shouts over the screaming kids, then a young man in blue basketball shorts, and a tight black tank casually walks out of the mob of people sweat glistening down on his forehead.
"Ya, Gai-sensi." His deep voice silences the room.
"You are in charge of the new kid in class, and Lady Tsunade needs to talk to you." Gai then goes back to blowing on his whistle and shouting at the group of students. Tsunade talks to Sasuke for a few minutes and then leads him over to Naruto.
"Sasuke this is Mr. Naruto Uzumaki, and he will be joining our school for the rest of his high school life, so I would like you to take the time and show him around follow along with him in his schedule, and teach him the ways of the school. I will excuse you from all classes for the day so you can help him out." Nodding Sasuke holds out his hand to Naruto, who slowly takes it. Sasuke's cold fingers send a shiver down Naruto's back, causing him to lose his breath as Sasuke begins to speak.
"Nice to meet you Naruto I am Sasuke Uchiha." His deep voice pierces into his chest like a knife clean and swift. "We have a few classes together looking at your schedule, and the same lunch, so if you have more questions after today I would be more than happy to answer them for you.
"Alright everybody wrap it up for today and hit the showers!" Gai shouts over the group of students who suddenly rush to the locker rooms.
"Sasuke can I leave him with you for the rest of the day?" Tsunade questions gesturing Minato back towards her office.
"Yes ma'am, all of his info is in these papers?" he holds up a folder she handed him earlier, she nods in return then leaves with Minato waving farewell to Naruto. "Well Naruto lets begin with your gym locker alright." Walking to the locker room Naruto silently follows his handsome guide, as they enter the door the room Sasuke removes his black tank to reveal a portrait of perfection; with every movement he makes some muscle in his body predominantly shows making Naruto's stomach flutter. "Locker 21 hmm, funny that right next to mine, here you go Naruto. Now for gym school colors are not necessary, but proper workout clothes are required, so here…" Sasuke hands him a pair of orange shorts and a black tank, "my brother bought these and I have never worn them so you can have them"
"Oh, um, thank you I appreciate it." Naruto's cheeks slightly flush.
"No problem." Sasuke raise one eyebrow curiously, "Um, I am gonna have to ask you to wait here while I shower up, as you can see I am pretty sweaty."
"That's fine I am in no hurry." Sasuke leaves and suddenly Naruto is swarmed by nearly or half naked boys.
"So you're the new guy… hmm… interesting" a brunette boy sits next to him on the bench examining him like a dog would, "He is… strange looking." Naruto stays silent staring at all the boys around him with huge blue eyes.
"Personally, I think he is small and child like." Another guy steps in pale, almost as white as snow.
"I think he needs to put some more meat on his bones!" a bigger set guy kneels in front of him eating a bag of chips.
"If I had to say this is all a drag, and I am pretty sure you guys are traumatizing him." A dude with a ponytail chills in the corner of the room with a cigarette in his mouth. "Just leave the kid alone and get dress before you are late for class."
"Hey Shikamaru how many times are we going to remind you that there is no smoking in the locker room!" All the guys scream and chase after the kid with the ponytail. Sasuke comes back from out of his shower a white towel loosely wrapped around his waist, Naruto's cheeks flush as begins to change.
"Hey Naruto are you ok you look a little red?"
"I AM JUST FINE!" he shouts back frantically. Sasuke raises one eyebrow and looks back in his locker.
"Whatever dobe…"
"What did you just call me?" Naruto slowly turns his head.
"Dobe, I called you dobe, because you unreasonably snapped at me."
"That doesn't mean you can call me names!"
"It doesn't mean I can't either."
Naruto sits on the bench in silence staring intently at Sasuke, who casually continues to get dressed. On their way out of the locker rooms Naruto looks down at the floor muttering under his breath.
"What was that Naruto I couldn't hear you?" Naruto looks over at him and then back down at the floor and mutters only one word.
"Teme"
