It had been two months since they had started school. Nothing really big had happened. The only times Sasuke ever saw Naruto was at orchestra rehearsal. The girl in the dinner line the first night was right in warning them about Naruto yelling at people. He got very upset and insulted if you played it wrong. When he yelled at Neji, though, that had been a huge deal to everyone. Everyone knew that Naruto and Neji were dating and they were all shocked when Naruto went off on Neji. Naruto started screaming and took Neji's bow and threw it across the room before he started crying and yelling at everyone that they weren't good enough to even call themselves musicians. It had been a very emotional day for Naruto apparently and he couldn't handle it any more by the time orchestra rehearsal came around.
Naruto had finally convinced Sasuke and Neji to come with him to his band's rehearsal that weekend. They all rode the city bus, which disgusted Sasuke because one, it was full of dirty smelly people and two, because it was full of dirty smelly people. When they got on the bus Sasuke and Gaara sat down in the back. There were no other empty seats around so Naruto and Neji decided to stand. Neji held onto the rail with one hand and the other hand was around Naruto's waist, pulling him against his side so that he could whisper into his hear. Naruto held onto Neji and laughed at whatever Neji was whispering to him. Sasuke scowled and looked out the window. Gaara observed all three of his friends with an indifferent expression. Gaara watched the road, because Naruto was too distracted by Neji, and pulled the bell when it was their stop.
"Holy shit." Sasuke breathed when they stepped off the bus in front of a concert hall. Naruto and Gaara walked around to the stage door on the side and walked in. Neji and Sasuke followed closely behind.
"You practice at the Namikaze Concert and Performance Hall?" Neji asked.
"Yeah, it's my dad's building so I can come in whenever I want." Naruto said. They stepped out onto the giant stage to find a small band set up in the middle.
"There you guys are. What the hell took so long?" A shaggy looking brunette asked. Sasuke started at the red triangles on his cheeks curiously.
"Sorry, Kiba, the princess took a long time to get ready." Naruto said motioning over to Sasuke. Sasuke glared at him "Oh, hey, introductions." Naruto said looking from his band friends to Sasuke and Neji.
"Who are your friends, Naruto?" A blonde girl and a pink haired girl asked smiling at the two new boys.
"Guys, this is Neji the boyfriend and Sasuke the roommate." Naruto pointed at them. Sasuke scowled slightly at the introduction. "Guys this is Kiba the best friend and guitarist. Then, Sakura's the hottie and bassist. Ino's the sexy one and the other guitarist. Shikamaru's the lazy one and keyboardist. And Hinata is missing."
"Hinata?" Neji asked.
"Yeah, Hinata's the shy cutie and lead singer." Naruto said.
"Hinata Hyuuga?" Neji asked again. Naruto's eyes widened.
"Holy crap! Hyuuga? I totally didn't even put that together." Naruto said. "What is she like your sister? God I feel so stupid now."
"No, she's my cousin. Don't worry about it." Neji smiled at him.
"Neji?" A soft voice came.
"Hinata." Neji turned to smile at his cousin.
"Neji! What are you doing here? Oh my god, it's been so long." Hinata smiled as she ran to hug him.
"Hey, yeah I go to school with Naruto and he convinced me and Sasuke to come watch you guys rehearse." Neji said.
"I didn't know you were friends with my cousin, Naruto." Hinata said looking at Naruto. He blushed.
"Yeah, I feel stupid cause I didn't even connect it together. I'm a terrible boyfriend." Naruto said. Hinata flushed slightly. She had had a crush on Naruto up until two month ago when he announced he was going out with a guy form his school. She didn't realize that guy was her cousin. "Okay, okay. You two go sit in the audience or in the sound booth with Gaara while we practice." Naruto said shooing Neji and Sasuke off of the stage. Sasuke and Neji decided to stay with Gaara in the sound booth. Everyone got ready and Naruto counted down. As they started playing Sasuke was amazed. Neji had apparently already heard their music because he was singing along; Naruto had probably forced him to listen to the CD. But Sasuke had never heard them before and they were actually really good. Screw that, they were amazingly good. After about half an hour they decided to take a break. Naruto waved Neji down and Neji quickly went down to the stage. Naruto took his hand and then wrapped Neji's arm around his waist. Neji and Naruto started talking to the other band members about stuff. Sasuke scowled as he watched them and every few minutes Naruto would look up at Neji and smile.
"You and I seem to have the same problems." Gaara said from his seat beside Sasuke. Sasuke looked over at him.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"We're both in love with our respective roommates." Gaara said coolly.
"Hn." Sasuke said.
"Oh? Are you not then?" Gaara asked.
"It doesn't matter. He's dating Neji." Sasuke growled.
"What if he wasn't?" Gaara asked.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"What if Neji and Naruto break up?" Gaara asked. Sasuke shook his head.
"I'm not going to let you break them up, Gaara. Neji is my best friend and Naruto is really special to me. I don't want to see either of them get hurt." Sasuke said.
"What if I gradually show them that they're not supposed to be together?" Gaara asked. Sasuke thought for a second.
"You promise you're not going to hurt either of them?" Sasuke asked.
"I'll try not to. I'm somewhat in the same boat as you, Uchiha. I'm in love with Neji and Naruto is a very good friend of mine. I don't want to hurt them." Gaara said.
"Okay, fine." Sasuke nodded his head. He of course realized that he shouldn't have agreed when a month later Naruto came into the room in tears. "What's wrong?" Sasuke asked. He had been laying on his bed reading when Naruto had come in.
"Neji broke up with me." Naruto said softly. Sasuke frowned. He had known one of them would be hurt in the end but had agreed with Gaara anyway. Sasuke sighed.
"I'm sorry." He said sympathetically. Naruto had always had a problem with personal space but Sasuke definitely wasn't prepared when Naruto fell onto his bed, nearly on top of him. Sasuke knew that Naruto just needed someone to comfort him, but he had made a mistake in letting that someone being himself. As he listened to Naruto babble slightly incoherently about Neji and how much he had hurt him, Sasuke realized Naruto had genuinely liked maybe even loved Neji. The plan in his head was that Gaara would show them they weren't supposed to be together, there would be a mutual break up then Gaara would get Neji and Sasuke would get Naruto. Now Gaara would get Neji and Naruto would be heartbroken and Sasuke would just be the friend to comfort Naruto. If Sasuke even tried to get together with Naruto right now he knew it would either be taking advantage of Naruto's emotional vulnerability or he would just be the rebound fling type guy. He knew that he couldn't be Naruto's boyfriend like he wanted. At least, not yet. Sasuke decided he would wait it out and when Naruto was ready for a new boyfriend Sasuke would grab him.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke." Naruto said after a few hours of crying.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"I shouldn't have gotten all emotional like that on you, I know it freaks you out." Naruto said. Sasuke sighed.
"It's okay, Naruto. I'll make an exception this one time." Sasuke said. He felt Naruto shift closer to him. Naruto hiccupped slightly and shifted a bit to wipe his eyes with his arm. Naruto looked up at Sasuke with teary blue eyes. Sasuke reached out and gently wiped the tears away. "Are you okay?" Sasuke asked. Naruto sniffled a bit.
"I'll be fine." Naruto said a little shakily. Sasuke nodded and pulled Naruto's head to rest on his shoulder. Naruto wrapped and arm around Sasuke's waist and they ended up falling asleep like that. Sasuke woke up to Naruto snoring.
Naruto was usually a quiet sleeper but he always started snoring about an hour before he woke up. Sasuke looked over at his clock. He already knew what time it was but he looked anyway. The red digital numbers glared at him, 5:30 am. Naruto always woke up around 6:30. He had explained to Sasuke one morning that he had always waken at 6:30 so his body was just used to it. Sasuke normally got up and did some sort of morning exercise, be it yoga, meditation or just a morning jog. However, this morning Sasuke looked over at the boy sleeping next to him in his bed and tightened his grip slightly and pulled him closer. Sasuke told himself it was 'innocent cuddling' rather than molesting. Of course around 6:15 when he 'cuddled' a little too close and rubbed his groin against Naruto's leg he decided to get up before he started humping the sleeping teen.
"Shit." Sasuke said as he got out of the bed and was maid painfully aware of his erection. Sasuke sat at his desk for about five minutes just trying to will the thing away as he got on his computer to check his emails and such. He had gotten an email from Naruto with a poster for his band's concert. In the picture all the band members were dressed up. The girls wore fancy evening gowns and the boys were in tuxes but the scene was they were standing in a dirty looking alley in the rain so they were all soaking wet. Naruto in a tux, soaking wet made Sasuke's erection even more painful. He huffed and decided to take care of it in the bathroom, he needed a shower anyway. Sasuke turned the water to warm, knowing the cold water would do no help at this point, and leaned against the wall. He palmed himself and started rubbing quickly. Uchihas hate waiting and he didn't want to degrade himself for too long while he took time to lower himself to masturbation... Uchihas didn't masturbate either (or at least none have been caught in the act). Unfortunately, Sasuke was never much of an Uchiha and was caught. Well, not actually caught, but pretty much.
"Sasuke, I'm sorry but I really have to pee. I promise I'm not looking or anything." Naruto said coming into the bathroom. Sasuke grit his teeth as he tried not to scream out in frustration. He hadn't even gotten the release he so desperately needed before the person of his fantasies burst into the room.
"Whatever, just hurry up and get out." Sasuke grunted impatiently. He moved to grab some soap and start washing off. The curtain wasn't see-through, but sometimes you could see shadows and Sasuke really didn't want Naruto to be able to see what he was actually doing.
"Don't worry. I'm done." Naruto said. Sasuke heard Naruto leave and as soon as the door closed Sasuke was back to relieve himself. It didn't take but a minute with as desperate as Sasuke was. Sasuke sighed and then cleaned himself, washing himself thoroughly but still feeling slightly dirty. Sasuke grabbed his towel and began to dry off. When he went to reach for the school uniform he had brought in, it was missing. Sasuke pulled on his boxers, which thankfully were still there, and went into the room.
"Naruto, did you," Sasuke started but Naruto shoved a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt into his chest.
"Put these on." Naruto said. Sasuke looked confused.
"What? But we have to wear uniforms." Sasuke said. Naruto shook his head.
"I called us in sick." Naruto said. "Now put those on, the bus comes in ten minutes and I don't want to have to wait another hour for the next one." Naruto said. It was then that Sasuke noticed Naruto was in black jeans and an orange shirt.
"Called in sick?" Sasuke asked as he pulled on his jeans.
"Yeah, we're going into town today." Naruto said.
"What?" Sasuke asked. Uchihas didn't skip classes to go into town.
"I can't go by myself and like hell am I going to take Gaara right now." Naruto said. Sasuke sighed and pulled his shirt on. Maybe cutting class to spend a whole day alone with Naruto wasn't a bad idea.
"Fine where are we going?" Sasuke asked as they walked out of the room.
"Just around. Don't worry, I do this all the time." Naruto smiled.
"That's why I'm worried." Sasuke mumbled. Naruto laughed and grabbed Sasuke's arm, dragging him to the bus stop. "Do we have to ride the bus?" Sasuke asked.
"What? Are you gonna pansy out on me?" Naruto smirked. Sasuke rolled his eyes as they sat down on the sticky metal bench of the bus stop.
"Whatever. This better be worth missing class." Sasuke grumbled. Naruto laughed again.
"You really are a prick, you know." Naruto said. Sasuke scowled. Even if it might have been true, Naruto had no right to insult him.
"Whatever, you're just an annoying brat who thinks he owns the world and you can't understand people who actually try to succeed." Sasuke growled at him. Naruto didn't seem to mind Sasuke's insult.
"What if I did own the world? You'd feel pretty foolish, wouldn't you?" Naruto said. Sasuke scowled.
"Just cause your dad is famous doesn't make you better than everyone else." Sasuke snapped at him. Naruto somehow got on his nerves all the time. Maybe it was because Naruto never acted or called himself better than anyone else but everyone seemed to think he was. Naruto was innocent and carefree when anyone else in his shoes would be angsty and cold-hearted. Naruto could take an insult and turn it into a joke. That was what annoyed Sasuke.
"I never said that." Naruto shrugged. The bus came and Naruto and Sasuke got on. Fortunately the bus was fairly empty bus. The only people on the bus were an elderly couple, a young woman who was probably in college because she was reading a text book, a gentleman in a business suit talking relatively quietly on his phone about a business deal and a woman with a small boy in her lap. The woman with the small boy sat in the seats in front of them and the small boy stood up in the seat to look back at them.
"Hi." The boy said. Sasuke frowned at his cheeriness.
"Hey." Naruto smiled at him.
"What you name?" The boy asked.
"Naruto. What's your name?" Naruto asked.
"Tobi." The boy said. Naruto smiled.
"Is he bothering you?" The mother asked.
"No, it's fine." Naruto smiled at her. "How old are you, Tobi?" The boy held up three fingers.
"This many." He smiled.
"Three? Wow you're so old." Naruto smiled at him. The little boy giggled.
"I is not old." He said.
"Where are you going today?" Naruto asked.
"Mommy is taking me to her work. But she is not working, we is going to the zoo together." The boy smiled excitedly.
"The zoo? That sounds like a lot of fun." Naruto smiled. The boy nodded. "What kind of animals are you gong to see."
"The lions, and the tigers and the elephants." The boy said excitedly.
"Really? That's cool. I like the foxes and pandas and giraffes the most." Naruto said. The boy's eyes widened.
"I like panda bears. Look, look." He said excitedly as he pulled up his shirt to show Naruto the panda on the front.
"That's a cool shirt." Naruto said.
"It is my favorite." The boy said. Naruto laughed. "Is that you favorite shirt?" The boy asked pointing at the plain orange shirt Naruto was wearing.
"No, my favorite shirt is dirty so I have to wear this one. My favorite shirt has a fox on it right here on my chest." Naruto said pointing at the spot where the fox would have been. The boy smiled.
"Where my panda is." The boy pointed at his own chest.
"Yep, right there." Naruto nodded. Naruto looked up to see the bus sign saying they were approaching their stop. "Well, Tobi, I have to go now. But have fun at the zoo and tell all the animals hi for me." Naruto smiled as he pulled the bell.
"Okay, bye-bye." The boy waved.
"Bye." Naruto smiled as the bus stopped. Naruto and Sasuke got off the bus and Sasuke looked over at Naruto. "What?"
"Do you always make friends with random children on buses?" Sasuke asked. Naruto smiled.
"Sometimes. I don't know; kids just like me." Naruto shrugged. "Come on." Naruto said motioning for Sasuke to follow him. Soon they were standing in a dingy breakfast diner. "Oi! Choji!" Naruto called over the counter. A round boy about their age came out and smiled at Naruto.
"Hey Naruto! What's up?" Choji asked.
"I need a box of doughnuts and fast." Naruto said. Choji smiled and nodded.
"I've just finished a batch." Choji said.
"Ah, Choji, you're the man." Naruto smiled and Choji placed the handmade doughnuts into a box.
"This one is on the house." Choji said seeing Naruto pulling money from his wallet. Naruto smiled and put a twenty on the counter.
"Then consider it a tip." Naruto smiled as he took the box.
"Thanks, Naruto." Choji smiled as Naruto and Sasuke walked out of the restaurant. Sasuke brushed his shirt off, just feeling dirty from being in a dump like that.
"You want one?" Naruto asked with a doughnut in his mouth and offering the open box to Sasuke.
"No." Sasuke scoffed.
"Your loss, Choji makes the best doughnuts." Naruto shrugged. "Man, I remember we would always spend the night at his house so his parents would make us food. His parents make the best everything. Doesn't matter what it is, if they make it it'll be the best you've ever had." Naruto said. Sasuke's brows furrowed.
"You knew him?" Sasuke asked. Of course the question sounded stupid when it was said out loud and Sasuke winced at that. "I mean, I just thought he worked there and that's how you knew him." Sasuke quickly explained.
"Yeah, we went to school together. Well, when I went to school that is." Naruto said. Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"How often do you skip school?" Sasuke asked.
"Heh, well I got kicked out of three junior highs cause I missed so much class. And the fourth junior high school just felt sorry for me and let me graduate anyway." Naruto said. How the heck did Naruto get into Konahagakure if he was like that? Sasuke was really confused but knew if he asked Naruto would just change the subject.
"Where are we going anyway?" Sasuke asked.
"To the concert hall." Naruto said. They kept walking until they turned a corner and BAM there it was, Namikaze Concert and Performance Hall. Something about it was intimidating. Maybe it was because only the best of the best got to perform there. (Think of it like Broadway and Carnegie Hall combined into one building) Naruto walked around to the side and went into the stage door again as Sasuke followed closely behind. There was music playing as they walked backstage.
"What's that music?" Sasuke asked.
"Hmm? Oh, that's Lee." Naruto said. Sasuke looked at him confused.
"Who?" Sasuke asked.
"Oh, he's a dancer. He's a third year at KAA. He stood up for me once when there were a bunch of fourth years picking on me and he was only a first year. He's a really cool guy and he teaches one of the kid's dance classes here so I let him practice every Wednesday morning here." Naruto said. He led Sasuke to one of the wings back stage so they could watch. Out on the mostly dark stage was a man dressed in a green full-body leotard type thing jumping and kicking and stuff in time to the music.
"That's Lee?" Sasuke asked. Sasuke had seen this guy on campus before and thought he was a total nerd.
"Yeah, it's cool he mixes ballet, jazz, hip-hop and martial arts in his own dancing style. He's tried to teach me saying dancing is like playing music just with your whole body, but I still suck at it." Naruto said with a slight laugh. The boy on stage heard the laugh and stopped to look over at them.
"Uzumaki-san?" Lee asked.
"Hey Lee." Naruto smiled. Lee smiled brightly at him.
"Ah, Uzumaki-san, how are you today?" Lee asked.
"I'm doing good." Naruto smiled.
"That is wonderful." Lee smiled.
"Well, you get back to your dancing. I was just letting Sasuke here watch you for a bit." Naruto said. Lee smiled.
"Thank you, Uzumaki-san. I hope you have a wonderful day." Lee smiled before going back out onto the dance floor and picking up with the music that had continued playing.
"He's a good guy." Naruto smiled shoving another doughnut into his mouth and walking off. Sasuke followed as they went through one of the back rooms and ended up in the front lobby then they took some stairs up to where the balcony level was but instead of going into the seating area they went through another door that lead to a small hallway with a few doors labeled 'janitor' then finally stopped at the last door labeled 'private'. Naruto pulled out his keys and unlocked the door. Inside was a bunch of old, dusty instruments and a beautiful antique grand piano.
"Wow." Sasuke said softly. Naruto laughed. He went over to a rusty file cabinet and opened the top drawer and pulled out a few sheets of music paper. "What are you doing?" Sasuke asked.
"What I always do when I'm upset." Naruto said pulling out a pencil from the file cabinet as well. He smiled. "You think you're the only angsty, brooding piano player out there?" Naruto asked. Sasuke looked confused as Naruto sat at the piano.
"You don't strike mw as the brooding type." Sasuke said. Naruto laughed.
"Yeah, I tried that whole 'dark, brooding musician' thing for about two weeks. Then I realized that's not who I am. I don't like being angry or unhappy so I decided that I wouldn't be any more. Of course things do end up getting me upset and stuff but then I just come here and get all my feelings out and I'm better. But coming here also makes me feel close to my dad, you know?" Naruto asked as he started playing warm-ups on the piano. Sasuke nodded. Sasuke sat down on a dusty chair and watched and listened for the next hour as Naruto played his emotions out. It wasn't anything magnificent, but it wasn't just ordinary either. He would pause every once in a while to jot down notes on the music paper and then pick right back up. Sasuke also noticed Naruto playing with one hand while writing down the notes. After an hour Naruto stopped.
"I'll be damned; you actually have a bit of talent after all." Sasuke smirked.
"I'm full of talent, bastard." Naruto smiled.
"You're full of something, that's for sure." Sasuke rolled his eyes. Naruto laughed and pat the piano bench.
"Your turn." He said. Sasuke looked at him.
"What?" Sasuke asked slightly shocked.
"Come on, Sasuke, you nearly peed your pants when you saw this baby." Naruto smiled. Sasuke growled at him. "It wouldn't be fair to play her and not let you have a chance."
"Really?" Sasuke asked a bit of excitement could be heard in his voice.
"Yeah, come here." Naruto said. Sasuke forced himself not to run to the piano, but did walk faster than normal. Sasuke sat down and gingerly touched the keys. "It's not gonna bite you." Naruto smirked as he watched Sasuke with amusement.
"Shut up." Sasuke growled. Sasuke raised his hand a few inches above the keys.
"But be careful, this was my dad's piano." Naruto said. Sasuke's hands fell and hit nine keys making a terrible 'bong' type noise.
"What?" Sasuke asked. He felt like he was about to pass out. "This is his piano? THE piano that he used to write ALL of his symphonies?"
"Not all." Naruto mumbled. Sasuke was pretty sure he passed out, or at least fell off of the bench and hit his head pretty hard on the floor. "Are you okay?" Naruto asked. Although Sasuke looked calm and collected on the outside, on the inside he was bowing down in front of the piano canting 'I'm not worthy' over and over again.
"I'm fine, idiot. You just take up too much space on the bench and knocked me off." Sasuke growled at him as he sat up. Naruto laughed.
"Fine, I'll move. You can have the whole bench to yourself." Naruto smiled as he stood up. Sasuke sat down again and concentrated on not fainting again. Sasuke started playing and felt like every note he hit was wrong and sounded awful. After about ten minutes Sasuke dropped his hands. "That's it?" Naruto asked.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"That's all you had to say?" Naruto asked.
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked. Naruto snorted and placed a piece of music on the stand. Sasuke recognized that it was what he had just played.
"It's not complete." Naruto said.
"I don't know how to finish it." Sasuke said. He inwardly grimaced. Uchihas always finished what they started.
"Maybe you need the right inspiration then." Naruto shrugged picking up the sheets of music. "I'll hang onto these and bring you back when you know the ending." Naruto told him while putting the sheets back into the file cabinet.
"Yeah." Sasuke sighed.
"Come on, let's go get some lunch." Naruto said. Sasuke followed the blonde out of the concert hall and down to the bus stop.
"Where are we going?" Sasuke asked really not wanting to ride the bus in the middle of the day. Naruto smiled.
"Don't worry about it." Naruto smiled. "I'm gonna cure you of your hatred of socializing with others." Sasuke grimaced he really did detest being with other people. He honestly didn't really like hanging out with Naruto. Sure, he was nice to look at and had a certain undeniable charm, but he did annoy Sasuke... a lot. Especially now that Naruto was going to force him to spend time with other people.
"You know I hate you, right?" Sasuke asked. Naruto smiled.
"Come on, Bastard. We'll be late for lunch." Naruto smiled as the bus pulled up.
"Late? Where are we going where we could be late for lunch?" Sasuke asked. Naruto just smiled and sat down near the front. Fortunately they weren't on the bus for very long. However, Sasuke would have rather gotten on the bus when he saw where they ended up. "No." Sasuke shook his head. He glared at the gates of the public high school.
"What?" Naruto asked as he started walking.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? We can't just walk in there and start having lunch." Sasuke said as he reached for Naruto.
"You've underestimated me, Uchiha." Naruto said with a smiled.
"And how is that?" Sasuke asked.
"I really do own the world." Naruto smiled. Sasuke rolled his eyes. They stepped into the main building of the high school and the woman at the front desk gasped.
"U-Uzumaki Naruto?" She asked. Naruto smiled and the woman passed out.
"What the hell?" Sasuke asked. Naruto blushed and scratched the back of his head.
"No! No! Uzumaki what the hell are you doing here?" An elder man asked waving his arms wildly as he stormed over to them.
"Aw, Sarutobi, are you not happy to see me?" Naruto asked with a mischievous grin. The old man growled.
"You have your own school to go to, Uzumaki." The man told him.
"Yeah, yeah, we're here to visit Kiba for lunch." Naruto rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.
"Does Tsunade know where you are?" The man asked.
"Yes. I told her what I was doing. What do you think, I'm irresponsible?" Naruto asked. The old man huffed and then turned his eyes to Sasuke.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Uchiha Sasuke, sir." Sasuke introduced himself. The man's eyes widened a bit.
"Uchiha?" He asked and then looked at Naruto. "What are you doing letting an Uchiha mix up with the likes of you?" He asked. Naruto smiled.
"He's my roommate at KAA." Naruto shrugged.
"Naruto!" Kiba's voice echoed down the hall. Naruto looked at the old man.
"Fine, but after lunch you're gone." The man said.
"Thanks Sarutobi!" Naruto smiled hugging the old man.
"Actually stop by my office on the way out, I have something I need you to take to Tsunade for me." Sarutobi said. Naruto nodded and ran down the hall yelling at Kiba. Sasuke followed while thinking about the old man's reaction to Naruto. Naruto had mentioned growing up around here. Maybe that's how everyone knows him.
"Oi, dobe, I thought you said it was okay for us to be here." Sasuke said as he reached Naruto and Kiba.
"Sarutobi said we could stay." Naruto pointed out.
"After the receptionist passed out and he yelled at you." Sasuke pointed out as well. Naruto shrugged.
"I guess I can have that effect on people." Naruto smiled and walked off with Kiba. Sasuke grumbled and followed.
I know it moves a little fast. it's just i wanted to get each year in 4 chapters. the first 2 chapters had so much information in them that i think the rest of the chapters will end up feeling a little rushed... sorry
