Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
Walking in the gates showing papers- faked- and being sniffed by the hounds for poisons and such. Once inside Konoha proper I looked to the Hokage monument hmm only four heads, that doesn't tell me much. I began to look around for anyone familiar to me till Shikamaru hit me on the head
"Baka we have to find someplace to stay before anything else." I scratched the back of my head a habit I have never broken.
"Heh heh sorry" the Kazekage sighed
"Come on" carefully he lead us toward my old apartment complex and knocked on my landlord's door
"Hold a minute" came his drunken slur, the five of us waited about fifteen minutes till he opened the door his hair was white, and thin eyes that were a watery brown rimmed with red. From his stance and presence it was obvious he had always been a civilian. As he spoke his wrinkles twitched and sagged
"What do you want?" his eyes were narrowed and he scowled harshly.
"Yosh! We would like a place to stay!" Lee shouted to the sky. I looked at him, he had calmed down a lot so this showed how exited he was. The old man blinked and then settled into a (slightly) better mood.
"One apartment for all or one for each?" he inquired
"Two apartments, one for three and one for two?" Shikamaru drawled
"Alright, I need a name for each room." Gaara and I gave our false names and he continued " I'll go draw up the papers now." Then without another word he shut the door in our faces. "Same Old-Man as always" brisk as he was he let me stay in the building even when all of his other tenets left as long as I didn't break his rules he was as nice to me as he was everyone else. I walked over to the list of rules framed on the wall:
Rules
Obey or Leave
Don't be too noisy
Don't destroy property
No violence
Clean up before you leave
I always laughed at the last one and it was no exception now. As I chuckled I heard a loud thump from upstairs followed by footsteps running down
"Hey Old-Man! Who's here?" Shouted an overly loud obnoxious voice as an orange blob blurred into the room smacking right into Gaara who smiled down at the twelve year old Uzumaki "what are you doing at the bottom of the stairs! Didn't you hear me coming?"
"Gaki! Rule number one!" Naruto stuck his tongue out at the closed door and turned to inspect us carefully. The landlord stepped in and looked at the scene and began to gaff "Gaki these people are moving in." the young me gawked at the five of us as we carefully inspected him, or is it me? Well we were in the past and from the jumpsuit I could tell it was before my training with Ero- Senin. But when exactly? As I was pondering this the orange clad kid shouted
"Ah! I can't be late, Ero- Senin will kill me!" and he ran out of the building
"What training could it be… ransengan, summing, or the two year trip? I murmured only to be hit by Kiba
"Quite Baka"
"Ow! Nii- Kun that hurt." I wined as Gaara chuckled
"Ahem, your apartments?" I started I had completely forgotten the old man.
"Oh right" out of the corner of my eye I saw Shikamaru roll his own as we were lead upstairs to our rooms. Lil Naruto lived in number three; number two will be mine, Kiba's, and Lee's. Gaara and Shikamaru lived in six, they were almost family, Temari was engaged to Shikamaru before she died on a trip to Konoha with Gaara's girlfriend, Matsuri, and Baki. They had the unfortune to run into Uchiha Madura. The Uchiha also killed Gai. I opened the door to my new "family's" new home it was impeccably clean, I grinned, not for long.
