Naruto P.O.V
The gang and I were all roaming around town. After breaking the news that I would no longer be living in Kirigakure with them all we headed over to Suigetsu's cousin Kisame's house. Kisame was the big bulky guy that had a mean stare with shark like features. He was a great laugh to have around always making jokes and stuff, but don't get me wrong. When intimidated or something he's one of the scariest guys I know. A group of 20 year old guys thought it would be funny to try and start a fight with him, let's just say Kisame got out of that fight unharmed. I may be a troublemaker, but I'm smart enough not to start something with someone I know I wouldn't have a chance against.
We arrived at Kisame's place, a few cars were parked out front, I recognized all but one.
"Looks like Itachi's here, that's rare" Sui said
"Itachi?"I asked. All the times I've been here I've never heard of that person.
Sui looked at me with a raised brow before realizing that I don't know who that is. "Oh right you never met Itachi before have you. Well you might've heard of him by his last name Uchiha" Was all he said to make my eyes bulge out of my head. Uchiha corps is a world known company owned by Fugaku Uchiha and founded by Madara Uchiha. For generations the Uchiha family business has stayed on top with their high tech technology. Itachi Uchiha was only 17 years old when he took over his fathers company and became the youngest successful businessman in the world.
"Kisame's friends with someone like that" I almost yelled. The others were just as shocked as I was to learn that 'The' Itachi Uchiha is currently inside Kisame's crap apartment.
"Gaah why didn't you tell me he was going to be here. Look at me, I look like a mess" Karin panicked while looking at herself in front of a small compact mirror, adjusting her hair and makeup. Looking over at Konan she was just as bad.
"Girls" All us guys mumbled under our breathe.
"Man I can't believe I'm going to meet an Uchiha" I could almost hear Yahiko squeal.
"You can say that again" I heard myself saying.
I looked up to see Sui walking up to Kisame's front door, he turned back to all of us and smiled a cheeky smile "Well, are you guys coming or not" We all headed up after him. Sui knocked on the door and we waited for someone to answer.
A blonde opened the door who I recognized as Deidara. Me and him didn't really get onto a good start, but now we're on mutual terms.
"Kisame went down to the liquor store to buy some more booze" He opened the door a little wider as a silent 'Come in."He expected that you guys would be coming up"
We walked inside the plain apartment. All of Kisame's friends were here.
Sasori, Kakuzu, Hidan, Tobi and of course Deidara. Sasori the quiet one of the group who often kept to himself, he's strange and has a weird habit of collecting dolls, I swear he has over a thousand. Kakuzu is money obsessed, he's stingy on spending to much money. Hidan is a religious freak, he prays and punishes himself for every sin. Tobi is more of a 4 year old then a 22 year old man, he's very sensitive so you have to watch what you say. And lastly Deidara, Deidara has quite the temper on him, he's like a bomb, always exploding whenever triggered.
We greeted each member in the room and sat on the ground, Sasori wordlessly handed me a bottle of beer before going back to observing Tobi try and make one of those ninja stars (Shuriken), or at least attempt. I looked around the room and noticed how clean it was more than usual, every time I come here it looks like a hurricane had passed through, but for once it was spotless. Heck I didn't even know that Kisame's floor carper was white. Kisame's a pretty cool dude to chill with, but I don't really like coming over sometimes cause of the mess. I'm a clean person who's not really organized but I like to keep my room tidy so that I know where everything is.
We all chatted away about whatever came to mind, cars, latest shows, girls and even how annoying our parents are. That was until the front door opened and two sets of footsteps could be heard walking into the room. I looked up and spotted Kisame walking in holding a crate of beer. Behind him came who I guess was.
"Kya~ You're Itachi Uchiha, head businessman of Uchiha Corps" Karin Squealed.
Itachi Uchiha. He was slightly shorter than Kisame and much more slimmer but still sported a few muscles. His skin was quite pale and his eyes were a dark shade of grey, he had long grey almost black hair that was tied into a low ponytail. He wore a simple black shirt with some jeans and casual shoes, something I never thought someone as rich as him would be seen wearing. He sported a kind smile that reached his eyes and for some reason I felt relaxed in his presence.
"Hello" He said.
Karin rushed up to him with stars in her eyes, Itachi chuckled at her eagerness.
"So what's it like being the youngest most successful businessmen there is? Is it tiring? Do you ever get bored of all the work? Come to think about how much work do you have to do? And why so young" Question after question she asked which was starting to give me a headache.
"Karin" She looked at me with a glare saying 'What do you want' "Shut. Up" I told her simply before glaring at her. She pouted before looking at Itachi with the same stars in her eyes. Said male turned to me with an amused expression.
"That's quite alright, I'm not surprised she bombarded me with questions" He said with a chuckle, I felt my glare loosen up a little before scoffing.
"I wasn't doing it for you, she was annoying the fuck out of me" I said with a huff before taking a sip out of my bottle of bourbon and cola.
Itachi held up his hands in a mock defeat before chuckling "Alright, alright, no need to be so serious about it. What's your name?" He asked.
"Naruto Uzumaki"
"I see, and I'm-"
Before he even finished that sentence I cut in "Itachi Uchiha, I know"
"That's Uchiha-San to you. Ya little shit" I turned to the voice of Kisame, he glared at me with an amused face.
I rolled my eyes before smirking "I'm hurt Kisame. You should know by now that respect isn't my biggest trait.
"You got that right" Deidara mumbled.
Itachi laughed a bit before walking up to me and crouching down to my level on the floor, he gave me a long hard stare that made me feel uncomfortable, just when I was about to yell at him to get the fuck out of my face he said something that caught me of guard. "I like you" He said with a smile.
My eyes widen slightly and I backed away to the couch, resting my back against the couch while holding my hand out "Whoa dude, news flash, I don't swing that way. You may be a billionaire that gets whatever the fuck he wants, but no amount of money is going to get me to sleep with you or anything" I said. Sui burst out with laughter and the others joined in as well.
Kisame and Itachi were also laughing "Not in that way" He wiped an imaginary tear from his eye. While the others were still laughing he came closer so that only I could hear what he says "This facade of yours may fool everyone else, but I can see straight through you. This bad boy act of yours can get you into a lot of trouble someday. Remember that" The laughter throughout the whole room ceased to be heard after what Itachi had said. By the look in his eyes I can tell he was serious.
I scoffed at him before turning my head "Whatever" I mumble before taking another sip of my bourbon and cola.
"I can see a lot of potential in you kid. You can do better then this" By this he indicated Sui and the gang. I was about to protest that they were my friends before he glared at me with such intensity. I could have sworn his eyes turned red. I wisely kept my mouth shut and let him continue his useless speech. "Do you really think these people will be there for you when you're at your lowest point" Was all he said before he patted my shoulder and stood back up, everyone stopped laughing at went back to talking about whatever they were talking about before. Itachi had joined Kisame and that, he looked over at me with a serious look. I got up and decided to get some fresh air, that and I didn't want to be in the same room as someone who think's they know me.
I sat on the couch outside taking a big gulp of my bourbon before throwing my empty bottle somewhere. Itachi's words echoing in my head. Footsteps could be heard behind me and I turned to see Sui with a big grin. He slapped my back before chuckling.
"Man that was hilarious. Hahaha you thought Itachi was asking you out... ohh that's classic" He said before sitting next to me and handing me another bourbon. I snorted because punching him in the arm.
"Yeah. Hilarious" My voice dripped with sarcasm. I opened my bottle and took a swig from my drink. It was quiet, save for Sui's giggling here and there.
"Do you really have to go" He asked.
"Yeah"
He looked at me before turning back to looking at the sky. "I can't believe it, after all these years you're parents finally cracked huh?" He said and took a sip from his bottle.
"Yeah"
"Konoha huh?. Man you're god parents must be loaded to be able to live in a big city like that"
"Yeah"
"Come on Naru. Stop being such a bitch" He punched my shoulder.
"You're the bitch" Was all I said back. "Hey Sui?"
"Yeah?" Itachi's words were replaying in my mind and I just wanted to make sure that he was wrong.
"You'll always have my back won't you?"
He snorted "The fuck? What kind of question is that"
"Just answer it fuck face"
"Okay, Okay no need to go Kyuubi on me. I guess so I mean you are my best bud and you've always had my back" That was all I needed to hear to know that he does have my back and that bastard know it all was wrong about them.
The rest of the night was a blur, everyone having a good time and all. That was until I had to go home. Kisame dropped me off outside my house and I waved him goodbye. I ran up to the side of my house and began to climb the ladder, I was slightly tipsy from all the alcohol I had consumed but that wasn't really a problem. The alarm clock read 4:00 am. I had at least 3 hours to get some sleep before I had to pack my bags and head to the train station. I overheard all the details last night from mum and dad.
Falling face first onto my bed without even bothering to change into my boxers, I was out like a lamp. Dreading the fact that I would no longer be able to hang with my friends again, nor would I be able to piss of Mizuki because it's funny. I just wish that something would happen that would prevent me from going, but as usual, this is reality, fairy tail wishes don't come true.
Time flew by and I was sitting on the train just laying on my bag. When mum woke me up I was tired as fuck and had this massive headache, but that's all gone now. All my clothes and things I wanted were packed in suitcases ready to take with me. The train ride takes about 3 hours to get to Konoha and from there I wait for my supposed god parents.
I grabbed my iPod and blasted the volume before falling asleep.
I woke up to someone shaking me only to realize that it was one of the crew members. "Sir, we have arrived in Konoha"
My sight was blurring and I nodded my head, he went away and I grabbed my bag and iPod on the floor. I hopped off the train and collected my suitcases. I walked over to a empty bench and say down waiting for the old hags to come and pick me up.
A car pulled up not to far away and out walked a lady with the biggest rack I have ever seen. She looked to be in her 30's, maybe younger. She had light blonde hair tied into two low ponytails, honey colored eyes and a pale skin tone. She sported a light green v-neck that show's of her cleavage and a black shirt that went down mid-thigh and small heels.
She was accompanied by and old guy with white hair, tanned skin, brown eyes and weird lines on his face. He wore a red coat despite it being so hot and a pair of washed out jeans while wearing some combat boots.
While they were approaching I noticed how the old guy looked down at a photo then looked up and pointed to me, I gulped and hoped they were pointing at someone behind me. The lady walked up to me before staring hard at me with a calculating look.
"Naruto Uzumaki" She said with a man-like voice and a serious gaze.
"Yeah what of it" I said in an disinterested voice. She scowled at me before turning around and walking back towards the car. "Hag" I mumbled under my breathe.
She stopped and turned to look at me "Well, are you going or not?" Was all she asked before hoping back into the car.
I heard laughter and turned towards the source, it was that old man from before. "Sorry about her, she's just a bit moody from a hangover" He said with a big smile on his face.
"Tsk. Whatever" The next thing I knew my head started hurting like a bitch. I turned to see that the old man just hit me on the head. I glared at him "What the fuck old man"
"Brat, if you're going to be living with us then that attitude of yours has got to change" He said with a warning to before bonking me on the head again "And no swearing" He grabbed my bags and carried towards the car, for some so called rich people their car wasn't very wealthy looking. It was just a plain old Station Wagon, nothing special. He put them in the trunk and ushered me to get in the car.
I rolled my eyes before shoving my hands in my pocket and slowly walking towards the old car. Just my luck, having to live with an old man and a stuck up hag for god knows how long.
I hoped into the backseat of the car slouching while looking out the window, not saying a word. The old man and the hag didn't seem to care and started the car up.
I stared in awe at how big the city was, though I didn't show that I was amazed. Everything was so different from Kiri, the buildings were huge and their were people everywhere. The city was so alive, it's as if no one sleeps in this huge city.
"Impressed" The voice of the old man broke me out of my trance. He had a smirk on his wrinkly face.
Scrunching my nose up and slouching back into my seat, I turned away "It's not that big of a deal"
The car went quiet after that and from the corner of my eye I can see that the both on them weren't very happy with my little comment. The rest of the ride home was in complete silence, it took about half an hour to get out of the huge city.
"Oi brat, that's the school you'll be starting tomorrow" I looked to the left to where the old man was pointing and my eyes widened. That's not a school, that's a freakin mansion right there. We slowed down and I got a good look at the school I was going to attend.
[A/N: Can't be bothered describing a school so you pick what it looks like]
"I gotta go to school" I half whined, cause only babies whine.
"Yes brat, you're mother and father hope that you'll do better here then what you did at your last school" The old man said.
"Tsk. Whatever" The car suddenly screeched to a halt and I ended up hitting my head against that back of the drivers seat. "The fuck" I yelled.
Suddenly, the hag turned around in her seat at gave me the most frightening glare I've ever witnessed, I mean this was worse then Kisame's.
"Look here you little shit. I've had just about enough of this attitude of yours. Your parents may have gone easy on you but I certainly will not. I have a few ground rules I'd like to make with you and you better listen or I'll be the reason as to why you're funeral arrived early" She yelled. I gulped and decided to keep my mouth shut.
She moved back and cleared her throat before looking at me with those intense eyes of hers.
"Rule 1: You will do all chores that you are told do that. Including, vacuuming the house or mowing the lawn or cooking dinner etc etc.
Rule 2: You will tell us where you are going and to be back home at precisely 7 pm sharp. No later
Rule 3: You will get up early for school and are to be expected home straight after school
Rule 4: You will attend all classes, if I found out you missed even one you will be punished.
Rule 5: No girls aloud in your room or any other room aside from the living room
Rule 6: There will be absolutely no smoking, taking drugs or drinking alcohol
And lastly, Rule 7: That attitude of yours has to go, or you'll be sleeping on the streets"
She looked at me with cold eyes and silently daring me to break any of the rules she had set. I gulped and nodded my head in understanding, just by the look in her eyes I could tell she was serious and that every word she had said she meant it.
The roared to life and yet it again it was a quiet ride back, the rules she had given sucked I mean what kind of teenager has to be home by 7, 7!, that's fucked up.
When we arrived at the house and had to make sure that my face wasn't pressed against the window. The place was huge, and so expensive looking. Our home back in Kumo wasn't this great, it was just a small simple house. But this, this was so sweet. The car came to a halt, and I bolted out of there just as quick as it stopped. Gazing at the amazing house in awe
[A/N: Just think of a house lel]
The old man and I grabbed my bags from the trunk and carried them inside, walking into the stunning house I almost dropped my bags on the ground. Everything was so neat and tide, and most likely expensive as well. There was a circle staircase a few steps away from the front door made out of glass. The house was amazing and so much to take in. Normal houses usually have that plain look but not this one, it was bright with colors that mashed together so perfectly, the designer sure did put a lot of effort into designing this room.
"Come along brat, you're room is upstairs" I followed the old man up the glass stair case, I felt as if any second it could break and I would fall down to my doom. When we made it upstairs it was like a whole new world. Still breathe taking though. We walked to the far end of the room and the old man opened the door all the way at the back. He walked into my new room and I followed behind. I sucked in a huge gulp of air when I looked at my new room. It was big and clean. A king size bed lay on the right side corner of the room, a desk with a brand new mac laptop on it, a walk in closet that also leads to my own personal bathroom, a tv plastered on the walls and a fluffy white carpet lay on the ground. It was bare, nothing much in this giant room. Heck this room was most likely bigger then Kisame's entire apartment.
The old man dropped my stuff on the ground and stretched his back he turned to me with a smile. "Well this is obviously your room. We didn't really know what you were into so we decided that you can decorate it however you want" He scratched the back of his head and I nodded.
Dropping the rest of my bags on the floor.
"If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask" Was all he said before leaving the room.
I walked over to the big bed, took my shoes and hoodie off and practically jumped onto it. It was so comfortable and so soft I felt like I was laying on a cloud. The sheets were fresh and the pillows had this vanilla scent to it. It was heaven and I ended up falling asleep right then and there
After a long day I felt exhausted so a nice nap wouldn't hurt.
Done. Chapter 2 complete yay :).
