Running around, or more precisely, skating around, not knowing where he was going even though he did in fact have a destination, he just didn't know the area, and the simple fact that he wasn't much of a morning person didn't help matters, especially when his perverted god father tipped a bucket of ice cold water on him whilst he was sleeping, only to inform him school wasn't for another hour, after he got ready.

"Stupid old pervert's gonna wish he wasn't born" the blonde said to himself as he weaved his way through the streets, oblivious to the direction he was going. Headphones on, the blonde nodded his head to the music that was blasting into his head, glancing up every now and then to look at where he was going, just in case he was about to bump into someone, holding onto the piece of paper Jiraiya had scribbled a map down on for him.

Sighing to himself as he put the paper back into one of his pockets, the teenager looked to the sky as he kicked against the floor to carry on his speed, wondering about his old high school, about the old neighbourhood, before his thoughts turned back to his old friends, the Suna siblings as they were called, especially since the principal of the school was their father and he was constantly looking for an excuse to get them expelled.

Looking to the sky, he sighed as he slowed down, "Wonder how Gaara is doing" he spoke out in a low tone only he could hear at the time, but then again it wouldn't have mattered if anyone did hear him, he didn't care what people thought of him, especially since this was just another town. Coming to a corner, the blonde turned slightly and kicked the ground to move faster, which wasn't bad, except for the fact that he had hit something whilst on the way around.

"SASUKE-KUN!"

Naruto hit the ground hard and almost felt his ear drums explode from the shriek that followed after he hit whatever it was he hit, grimacing for a moment as he rubbed his head, the blonde opened one eye to see a group of six other kids in front of him, one was currently sat on the floor. Laughing nervously, Naruto began to stand up and made his way forward to offer his hand to the guy on the floor, "Sorry about th…"

"Watch where you're going next time you buffoon"

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah, you heard what he said, you hurt Sasuke-kun"

"Look I said I'm sorry!"

"Drop it, we're almost late" the one they called Sasuke stated as he placed his hands back in his pockets and walked past Naruto, stopping for a moment, "Next time, look before you turn, dobe" he whispered before walking off, the others followed except for one. Grinding his teeth, Naruto watched the four walk off in the opposite direction to where he thought the school was, 'Calm down, remember what the pervert said' he told himself until a soft voice broke him from his glaring.

"A-are you h-hurt?"

"Huh?"

Nartuo turned and his ears were met with a small squeak as his eye's met with a pair of snow white irises, belonging to a girl with long indigo coloured hair who held her hands up to cover her mouth, along with the bottom half of her porcelain looking face, one word crossed the blonde's mind at that time 'Wow'.

Scratching the back of his neck with one hand, the blonde grinned as he chuckled, "Yeah I'm fine" he stated before gently knocking his head gently, "Hard head" he added before watching her gently giggle at his small action, the pair were interrupted by another male with long dark brown hair and a face just a bit darker than the girl's, "Hinata-sama, we need to go" he stated before giving Naruto a once over and walking away, the blonde looked at the male with an eyebrow raised, "What's his problem?" he muttered underneath his breath, not realising the girl heard him. "W-we're j-just running a l-little late" she stated before running to catch up with her companion before Naruto could even say anything to her, sighing he grabbed his board and began to skate down the end of the street until he came to another T junction, looking back to the map before groaning about the fact that his guardian didn't even have a clue where the school was.

Turning around, he made his way over to one of the shops without looking at what shop it was, stepping inside he made to walk straight to the old man at the counter, at least he until his sense of smell was assaulted by the one thing he loved more than anything, the scent beckoned for him to walk over to the stool and drop everything else, just to taste the sweet substance that could not be mistaken for anything else, but ramen. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he took a deep breath 'Come on, no time, almost late... But it smells sooo good' his thoughts running back and forth between what he had to do, and what he wanted to do. Naruto walked to the counter and saw the old man looking at him with a smile, "How may I help you kid?" he asked, turning away from the broth he was busy making, "School" was the only word Naruto could throw out of his mouth as the smell went from assaulting his nose to his mouth, a slight bit of drool escaping his lips as he attempted to reign his desire in.

The old man laughed at the kid and quickly gave him directions, Naruto thanked the man and bolted straight out of the shop, not wasting another moment, for if he had, he knew he wouldn't have even made it to school. Making a mental note of the shop name, as well as it's location, Naruto skated in the direction that the man had given him, hoping not to waste another second with anything else, the blonde sped as fast as he could to the building, he didn't care if he was late, but on the first day was a bit much, especially with his track record.

Sakura and everyone else were in class already, she took a look around the room quickly, noticing that Shikimaru was being as lazy as ever with a book placed on his face as he leaned back and slept the morning away, Choji right behind him eating another packet of chips, Kiba looking out the window probably thinking about just running out of class to go home and get his new pup to play with. She sighed, it was just another boring day in high school, the pink haired girl turned around and saw Hinata was reading one of her books. "Hey Hinata, how are you?" The shy Hyuga girl placed her book down with the bookmark inside, looking up and smiling at her friend "I'm fine thank you Sakura, yourself?"

"Not bad thanks, just bored" Ino walked in a moment later and headed straight for the two girls, English was their first subject and the only one where all of the ten friends were able to meet together, luckily for them Kakashi was their teacher and he was always late. Turning around to speak to Ino, the pink haired girl smiled at her friend and rival, waving to her until she came over and sat on Sakura's desk, "Hey did you hear about the new kid?" she began, the blonde was the first point of contact their group had when it came to any of the gossip around the school. Beginning to tell them the gossip and number of rumours she had heard about the new kid, Ino stopped for a moment when she saw Sakura was now looking at the door, turning the blonde then saw her friend's long time crush and sighed, although she had been interested in him a while back, she had grown out of the fan girl routine and dropped her affections for him, Sakura however, wasn't exactly a fan girl, she had a genuibe crush on Sasuke Uchiha, and that wasn't going to change any time soon. "H-he's no good for you S-Sakura-chan" a soft voice spoke, it was barely audible but both knew where it came from, Ino was a little taken back by what the raven haired beauty had said, she barely ever spoke like that, let alone t a friend about their love life. Sakura sighed and went back to looking at her notebooks on her desk, "I know Hinata" she said, a little downhearted at the words she knew to be true, but she couldn't change the way she felt about him.

Ino made to continue her story about the new kid until a disturbance outside in the hallway cause every teen in the class to stop what they were doing, "YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SKATE IN HERE!" the voice of their former english teacher echoed throughout the hallway, the girls looked at each other and thought the same thing, until Sakura voiced it, "Did he just say skate?" she spoke out loud to her friends before they moved to the door of the classroom, only to see an orange blur go past them and down the hall. "Move people!" the blur shouted as it moved further down the hallway, everyone only just moving out of his way so he could get away from Iruka, at least that was until he came to a corner and got picked up by Kakashi. "I guess you would be our latest entry, the principal has been expecting you" the masked teacher stated as he held Naruto up by the back of his jacket and began to lower the blonde so he could stand, Naruto merely smiled and shrugged, showing the teacher is goofy smile "I got lost then he started chasing me" he said as if it was normal for this kind of behaviour before laughing nervously.

Iruka took the boy from Kakashi's hands and decided on taking him to the principal himself, after all he didn't have any classes to take this morning, thanfully all of the kids were in class now, so they didn't have to fight through the crowd. Making it to secretary's office, Iruka smiled to the recptionist and informed him of the reason why he was there whilst Naruto looked at the pictures on the wall, or more specifically, one picture in particular of a young pervert who was now his guardian standing next to a group of three kids who were in a dog pile but could still be seen smiling at the camera whilst a girl with red hair stood next to Jiraiya and smiled for the picture. 'Looks like the pervert was a teacher here' he thought with a grin and wondered how he could use this information since he had seen the image of him sleeping in the car, "Principal Sarutobi will see you now" the secretary stated as she came out of his office and held the door open for the pair who walked inside, 'Wow, those are a lot of papers' Naruto thought as he looked around the room and saw stacks of paperwork neatly placed onto the old man's desk. "Welcome to Konoha high school Naruto" the man addressed as Sarutobi began, greeting the youngster with a smile, "Nice skateboard, however I would appreciate it if you didn't bring it in next time" he stated, still keeping his smile warm and friendly, Naruto sighed as he wondered how long it would be before this one would be shouting at him and ordering him to leave his school.

That's it for the second chapter, ran into a bit of a wall with the ending but that should be enough I guess :/. Hope those that are reading this one are enjoying it a little, I know the first chapter wasn't much to go by but hopefully this one will add a little extra something that the other didn't. For those that have noticed my lack of detail when introducing a character, well if you're searching specifically in the Naruto section, then I can assume that you read the manga or watch the anime, therefore; you know what they bloody look like so you get the damn picture when I don't detail much about them, it ain't that hard to recognise who is who after all.

For those interested and haven't yet done so, could you please check out my other two stories and review, bloody dying by here since I'm trying to get your input into the stories too and work so that you also add bits if it fits into how I feel my story should be portrayed. For X-men fans, got a Pyro story coming up, really simple one, my own version of how he came to be an X-Man or member of the Brotherhood, ain't decided which way he'll go yet but we'll find out soon enough. So hope to hear from you guys soon.
