Summary of Last Chapter: Ino notices Naruto as she heads home from the festival of Kyuubi's defeat. Sandaime enrolls Naruto into the academy starting in two days. Kimiko and Inochi talk briefly about their past…

A large colored sakkat with the word fire on the front steps into the street. He walks down the street and watches as the villagers start to set up their stations early in the day. He was greeted by everyone that was up that early in the day. As he took his leisurely walk he thought of all the events that had transpired about 6 years ago…

"Everything has gone by so fast, first Yondaime Hokage saves the village from the most powerful bijuu, the Kyuubi, but in return of his life and his own son's childhood…then comes the Yamanaka family soon after, begging me to let them stay in Hogakure after their incident that happened only months before the Kyuubi's attack. Then Orochimaru succession from the Leaf…I doubt it could be any worse than it already is…"

These thoughts transpired as he walked from his tower in the middle of the huge village towards the outer wall. By the time he got there he saw most of the shops open up and a few just opening. He walked up to a run down apartment and knocked on the beat down door.

"'Kaa-san! 'Kaaaaaaa-sannn!"

Kimiko sighed as she walked up to her little girl.

"What is it Ino-chan? Mommy is busy getting dressed," she said through the closed door.

"I'm hungry and otou-san is shivering in my bathroom and he won't get out and I really need to go!"

"He didn't…I didn't think he would touch…oh my god…" Ino could hear giggling through the closed doors.

Just as Ino was about to reach for the door, her mother opened the door. Moments after that she starts drooling and her eyes glazed over.

"KAA-SAN!" the little impatient blond yelled.

Kimiko snapped out of the trance from the genjutsu and dispelled it quickly going into the kitchen and preparing breakfast as she told Ino to head to the master bed room's bathroom to wash up before attending her first day at the Academy.

"Naruto!" The old man yelled through the door of the apartment.

"uugh…Oji-san? Why are you here so early?" the little blond boy asked.

"Well, I have a one-day late birthday present!"

"YOSH! What is it?" the little boy yelled as he hopped around his apartment in joy.

"You're going to the Academy!"

"YES! Finally I can go to school and surpass you Oji-san!"

"I hope you do Naruto."

That day about one hour later, around 8:00 AM…

"I'll see you later Naruto! Have fun at the academy and be good!"

"I will try Oji-san! But I won't make any promises!"

Sandaime chuckled to himself and started his slow paced walk toward the Hokage Tower, biding as much time as possible before he had to face his arch nemesis. Paperwork. A warm smile graced his lips as while he was walking away, heard the other young blonde that was also enrolled in the academy.

"Ja-ne okaa-san! I'll be good!"

Kimiko smiled as she hugged her daughter and watched her run into the gates.

Inside the Academy…

"Listen up everybody!" cried the scarred academy teacher, "I will be letting you know where you sit today so listen up…"

The students stood in front of the room and moved to the spots they were assigned to by their last names.

"Uzumaki, Naruto!" the man said.

The little blond boy walked up to the seat and sat down in the second to last seat.

"That was the boy I saw yesterday! Kaa-san said that it was ok to talk to him, even if all the other kids are bad to him. Puuuuuurrrrr…he's kinda cute too…where did that come from? AHH! My name is being called." With that, Ino quickly snapped out of her trance and walked up toward the seat assigned to her, the one next to the mysterious boy.

"Hi! My name is Ino, whats your's?"

Shyly replying, "Umm…I'm Naruto…why are you so nice to me?"

"Why can't I be nice to you?" Ino pouted.

"QUIET DOWN YOU TWO!" Iruka yelled interrupting the conversation, "We're starting our lesson today! Now if you all would open the textscrolls in front of you and we'll begin with the history of how Konoha was founded."

"Sensei is so rude!" Ino whispered angrily to Naruto, "you never interrupt a woman when she's talking!"

"He he he…you wanna pull a prank on him later?" The mischievous boy whispered back.

"What did you have in mind?"

During Lunch

"Finally, those kids were a little rambunctious…at least I have my favorite takeout ramen lunch from Ichiruka's…"

"I-ruu-kaaaaa-seeeeennnnseeeiii" yelled Ino in a singsong voice as she walked through the door in a bang.

"Hmm? Oh, Ino, what did you need?" Iruka said as he put his ramen on the table behind him to focus his attention to Ino.

"I needed help on some parts of the lesson we had" Ino said batting her eyes and making sure the attention was all on her.

"Ahh, we went too fast for you? Well, this is how it goes…"

Ino giggled as the lesson was being told over to her. When Iruka asked her if there was anything funny about the Rock and Leaf war, Ino quickly composed herself and told him no. Ino sighed and told Iruka she would ask her parents for more help, and wanted to go back outside to play.

"That's fine Ino…"

"See you later Iruka-sensei!"

With that Ino left the room and went out to the playground. Iruka noticed that she quickly ran over to Naruto and they started laughing, hard enough to be on the floor. Iruka was puzzled at this notion and dismissed it.

"Now, back to my pretty miso pork ramen…WHATTTT??"

He looked at the bowl, it looked as clean as it was before he poured the separated ramen and soup into the bowl. Although there was a note left in place on top of his chopsticks.

Iruka-sensei,

It was not nice of you to interrupt our conversation. Please do not do it again, or more than ramen will be missing. Have a good nice day!

The two blonds didn't leave their name but Naruto drew a little swirl and Ino drew a little boar next to it. Although Iruka wouldn't know.

Iruka was confused after the lunch but just sat there looking at his 36 student class as Mizuki taught the students about Chakra.

Ironically enough Naruto and Ino were sitting there drawing on a sheet of paper their next upcoming prank.

That night…

"So Ino, did you have fun?" Inochi said, now out of his stupor.

"Yes! I met the little blond boy! His name is Naruto, and we had lots and lots of fun today!"

"That's nice to hear Ino-chan" Kimiko said, "Now we have dinner to eat. Which reminds me, do you want to invite him over to eat tomorrow?"

"Yes! I think he would like to! Thank you!"

Inochi noticed his daughter's eyes brighten up with that and soon thought,"Maybe the kid isn't so bad after all…"

At Iruka's Place…

"Lets see…swirl…whirlpool…malestorm…wait…NARUTO! And that means…boar…INO! Those two kids…maybe Hokage-sama was right…Naruto's not too bad…he just needs attention…maybe I should treat him to some more of the ramen he ate today. Maybe tomorrow…"

Soo? How do you think it was, and I think I should have responded to most of the people that reviewed, if I didn't I'm sorry, I might not have had enough time…HW is a pain…but ohwell Thanks to all those that reviewed and I think all of you got it right

BTW: I'm not done with the third chapter, but I wanted to keep my promise to all those that reviewed, here's the second chapter, about on time don't you think:3

Thank you all readers and especially to the reviewers…as for Sakura…that hopefully if I remember, will be cleared up in the next chapter!

Till then :3
