Hm what can I say besides wow sixty plus reviews on a single chapter! I guess it turned out better then I thought it would. Also I appreciate some helpful tips that were given to me by a few reviewers, I take what everyone's said into account the best I can. Anyway let's move on with the story shall we?
Chapter 4: Lunch Time
"Hey honey-chan, honey-chan wake up!" Naruto shouted but Hinata refused to obey his command. "She's really out of it." Naruto stated to the few that had surrounded him and Hinata an attempt to help him wake her.
"Well whatever she's dreaming about, must be pretty good judging by the blush and grin on her face." Kiba assessed. As he observed the pink tent on Hinata's cheeks and blissful smile on her face.
"What can I say I'm the perfect fuel for a girls naughty dreams." Naruto proclaimed while sending a nearby pinkette a wink.
"Tch talk about an ego." A boy with a spiky ponytail grumbled under his breath as he lazily watched the proceedings from his desk.
"What you doubt the effect I have on women?" Naruto fired back.
"I neither doubt it or care for it because it would be too troublesome to do so. But I will say Hinata's only in that state because she's the shyest girl in the village, obviously your method of introducing yourself to her would result in such a way." The kid summarized in a bored tone.
"Alright that's enough Shikamaru." Iruka cut in as he made his way towards Naruto and the unconscious form of Hinata. "Honestly I forget that you kids are seven because you hardly act like it." Iruka mouthed while reaching into his flack jacket and pulling out a tablet.
"Stand back kids, this stuff is a bit strong." Iruka warned while breaking the tablet in two and waving it in front of Hinata's nose.
The effect was immediate as Hinata eyes fluttered open and she stared around blissfully unaware of everyone staring down at her.
"So did you have sweet dreams about me honey-chan?" Naruto questioned as Hinata finally took notice of the crowd around her.
"Eeep!" Hinata squeaked as she swiftly jumped to her feet. "W-what h-happened?"
"Sorry about that honey-chan, but apparently my ice breaker may have been a bit much." Naruto explained.
"I-Ice breaker?" Hinata repeated, just as the memories of what had transpired moments ago before she passed out came flooding back. Hinata blushed fiercely while turning her face from the spectators. "S-sorry it won't happen again." Hinata confirmed before taking her seat once more.
"Yes and I'll make sure of it." Iruka confirmed as he turned his attention to Naruto. "Naruto you're switching seats with Shikamaru."
Naruto quirked his eyebrow as he observed the seat Shikamaru was occupying. "No chance!" Naruto shouted. "He's sandwiched in between two guys, and sorry being the meat in a dude sandwhich isn't how I roll."
"Well sorry, Naruto but until you can show some control I can't have you sitting next to the girls." Iruka reasoned.
"I-It's okay." Hinata cut in quietly. "I don't mind if N-Naruto-kun continues to s-sit next to me."
Naruto smirked at Iruka. "See honey-chan doesn't mind that I sit next to her. In fact I bet she likes it." Naruto added with a toothy grin.
Iruka simply sighed as he turned his attention back to the class. "Alright kids back to your seats, the shows over."
The kids did what they were told reluctantly.
Once order had been reestablished Naruto plopped himself back down in his seat. "Thanks, honey-chan you're a life saver. I only got a week here and I'd much rather spend it sitting next to a fox like you then a couple of guys."
"N-no problem." Hinata assured Naruto.
Meanwhile Iruka shook his head once he made it back to Mizuki. "I honestly can't believe it, it's been five minutes and the kid is already driving me up the wall."
Mizuki chuckled. "Funny, I thought' I'd hate the brat, but he's already made this class more interesting in five minutes then it has been all year." Mizuki whispered back to Iruka.
"I think there's a fine line between interesting and disruptive." Iruka countered as he pulled open his teachers text book and eyed the students. "Alright kids today we'll be going over the basic principals of how to use your chakra to reinforce muscle strength."
"What! That's baby stuff!" Naruto shouted after hearing their lesson plan for today.
"Sorry you do not approve Naruto, but not all of my students have had training from a Sannin." Iruka rebuked. "So if you could please remain quiet so that I may explain what I mean to the class, it would be most appreciated."
Naruto shrugged his shoulders while slouching back down in his seat. "Man I didn't realize you guys were only up to this level." Naruto stated to Hinata.
Hinata looked back at Naruto curiously, as she pondered on just how strong he might be. "You've learned this a-already?" Hinata asked quietly.
"Yeah honey, that among other useful things." Naruto replied. "If you catch my drift that is."
"I-I'm afraid I d-don't catch your drift." Hinata stated.
"Hehe I'll be more then willing to show you what I mea…" Naruto began but was cut off by Iruka.
"Naruto! Is there something you'd like to discuss with the rest of the class?" Iruka shouted.
"Uh nope, not a thing Iruka-sensei." Naruto replied before turning his attention back to Hinata. "We'll talk about this later honey-chan." Naruto quickly added before giving Iruka his full attention. Well more like one fourth of it considering he was using the other three quarters to scope out the remaining females in his new class.
(Sometime Later)
Lunch time had finally come around and Naruto couldn't have been more grateful. Iruka's lesson plan had been something he'd learned nearly two years ago, and listening to the man drone on and on about it practically drove him up the wall.
"Man that Iruka is one boring teacher." Naruto stated to Kiba whom decided to join him for lunch in order to learn more about the boy, he considered hilarious.
"Couldn't agree more man, but what can yah do, know what I mean?" Kiba replied as he took a bite into his sandwich while observing Naruto shuffle around his kimono. "Whatcha lookin for?" Kiba questioned through a mouth full.
"Just a sec." Naruto responded as he finally located what he was after and pulled it out.
Kiba arched his eyebrow at seeing the item Naruto had pulled from his kimono. "What the heck you got a telescope for?"
Naruto grinned as he extended the telescope and began peering through it. "I'm about to introduce you to one of my favorite past times. It's called…well I don't have a name for it actually but it's awesome none the less." Naruto assured Kiba.
Kiba looked skeptical but gave Naruto the benefit of the doubt.
After a brief moment of silence Naruto finally shouted. "Found one!"
"Found what?" Kiba questioned.
Naruto smirked. "Just have a look for yourself." Naruto offered while handing Kiba the miniature telescope.
Kiba took the telescope from Naruto and peered through. "Now just what the heck am I even lookin for?"
"Tilt the scope two degrees to your left." Naruto answered.
Kiba did what he was told and a deep blush instantly colored his cheeks. "Wow doesn't that teacher even believe in crossing her legs?" Kiba remarked as a small trickle of blood seeped from his nose.
"Nope, but that's nothing." Naruto commented. "On really good days you can find the occasional woman that doesn't' believe in panties either." Naruto added with a chuckle and the two shared a laugh together.
"Dude it sucks you're only gonna be around for a week." Kiba remarked while handing back the telescope to Naruto.
"Yeah" Naruto agreed. "It's pretty rough always being out on the road, but at least I have my god-father and brother to hang out with." Naruto confirmed.
"Oh so that old man was your god-father huh?" Kiba questioned.
"Yep, but as lame as you probably think he is, he's actually pretty awesome." Naruto confirmed. "He taught me everything I know, well at least the things he considers important." Naruto concluded as his attention finally found a dark raven haired boy sitting next to a tree with a crowd of young girls around him.
"What da?" Naruto muttered. "Hey Kiba why's that kid down there surrounded by all the babes from our class?"
"Wha…" Kiba started but stopped as soon as he noticed whom Naruto had been speaking of. "Oh that's just Sasuke Uchiha he's a student from our room." Kiba explained. "All the girls in our class seem to have a thing for him, even though I don't think he's all that great."
"Well the guy must possess superior lady skills then my own if he's surrounded by a flock like that." Naruto assessed, but Kiba shook his head.
"Trust me he doesn't." Kiba proclaimed. "He honestly just get's by on looks alone. From what I can gather he doesn't really show interest in the girls around him, but prefers to spend his time trying to follow in his brothers footsteps."
"His brothers foot steps? What do you mean by that?" Naruto asked curiously.
Kiba took another bite out of his sandwich before answering. "Apparently his big brother is some hot shot that graduated at age seven and made Chunin at age ten." Kiba explained. "He wants to be just like him."
"That's stupid." Naruto claimed. "Why would he worry about that, when he's got all these skirts around him?"
"Who knows?" Kiba answered with a shrug.
"You know what I think I'm gonna ask him." Naruto stated as he stood to his feet, and began making his way over towards Sasuke with Kiba trailing right behind him.
When Naruto and Kiba arrived the girls stared at Naruto curiously, and he simply flashed them a toothy grin. "You ladies don't mind if I borrow him for a sec do yah?" Naruto questioned but didn't give the girls a chance to answer as he quickly grabbed Sasuke by the wrist and disappeared in a swirl of wind and leaves.
The girls along with Kiba stared at the spot Naruto had vanished with Sasuke from speechlessly.
"What the hell?" Kiba stated pretty much summing up what all of them had been thinking.
On the opposite side of the academy where the students three years ahead of them resided Naruto and Sasuke appeared, and Naruto let go of Sasuke's wrist.
"How did you do that?" Sasuke questioned as he assessed just how far and fast they traveled.
"That's not important." Naruto answered. "But what is important is why in the hell aren't' you accepting any of those girls advances?"
Sasuke quirked his eyebrow, before he let out a slight chuckle. "You honestly brought me here just to ask that, you truly do concern yourself with only one thing."
"How do you figure that?" Naruto returned.
"Simple, I've been watching your behavior the moment you entered class to gauge your abilities. Which after what's you've shown me just now must surpass even my own skills." Sasuke answered. "But that's to be expected considering you get training from Jiraiya of the Sannin." Sasuke finished.
"Wow and after the less then impressed expressions on everyone's faces, when Iruka-sensei announced who my god-father was, I was starting to think no one knew who he was." Naruto acknowledged.
"Don't lump me in with the rest of them." Sasuke advised. "I'm an Uchiha after all and we take all shinobi matters seriously. There's no way a member of the Uchiha would not be informed of a man as renowned as Jiraiya of the Sannin."
"I see." Naruto stated. "But you still haven't answered my question."
Sasuke folded his arms and shut his eyes. "It's as I've said before." Sasuke started. "We Uchiha take all shinobi matters seriously, and I simply can't respect those that spit on our eventual profession."
"Spit on our profession?" Naruto questioned.
"That's right, fan-girls that's all they are. They believe this is some kind of game and they're only here to find a date. But I can assure them I won't be their knight in shining armor in the fantasy world that they live in." Sasuke claimed. "But maybe you could take that position from me, considering you seem to prefer quantity over quality, something I don't see eye to eye with."
Naruto shrugged. "What can I say the female species is a beautiful work of art, which I'd liked to see as much of as I can." Naruto jested lightly.
"Hn, to each his own." Sasuke answered simply as he turned on his heels only to be faced with a group of older boys staring down at him."
"Hehe well well well, what do we got here?" The apparent leader of the four boys remarked, with a grin on his face. "Looks like we stumbled across a couple of homoes having play time."
"Back off." Sasuke warned.
"Or what pretty boy, you gonna tell yer mommy on us?" a tall skinny boy on the left remarked, as the four boys chuckled at the pitiable joke.
"Don't yah know, first year punks like yourself need to stay on your side of school." The leader piped back in.
Naruto finally took that moment to speak up. "Ah so you must be what is referred to as a bully. Their usually quite dim witted, travel in groups of three to five, and don't know the meaning of proper hygiene."
"Don't fuck with us kid?" The leader warned.
"No don't fuck with me." Naruto shot back coldly.
"Or what huh, can't you count? It's four of us and only two of you." A tall heavy set kid added.
"Then go get some more guys and then we'll fight princess." Naruto countered.
"That's it you little shit!" The leader shouted as he grabbed Naruto by the scruff of his kimono and lifted him eye level. "Not so tough are yah now huh?"
"It's ashamed there's not a crowd of honey's around to watch me wipe the floor with you guys." Naruto stated as he grabbed the boy by the wrist and applied pressure.
The boy winced in pain as Naruto squeezed his wrist.
"I could see it now. Oh Naruto-kun you're so strong, and handsome." Naruto chorused in his best impersonation of a young girl, while adding more pressure to the boys' wrist.
"Guwha!" The boy shouted as Naruto squeezed his wrist with enough force it brought him down to his knees. "Let go, let go!"
"But why buttercup?" Naruto questioned innocently. "Were just now starting to have some fun." Naruto added as he drove his foot into the boys' gut sending him skidding painfully across the ground. "Aw what's this, done already?"
The boy shakily lifted himself to his feet and glared at Naruto. "What are you idiots waiting for? Get this little shit!" The boy ordered to his goons.
The three boys were hesitant for a second before they charged in only to be intercepted by Sasuke.
"He's not your only opponent." Sasuke announced as he swiftly closed the distance with the boy closest to him and buried his fist in his gut. The boy reeled back from the blow and Sasuke quickly followed it up with a spinning kick to the boys jaw that knocked him out.
"Not bad Sasuke, but let me show you how a man handles his business." Naruto stated as he moved with such speed he couldn't be tracked by either of the non combat experienced boys.
A moment later the three remaining boys collapsed in a heap and Naruto stood over them triumphantly while dusting off his hands. "Ah bullies I must say I rather like them."
"And why's that?" Sasuke asked after recovering from his initial shock at seeing Naruto move so fast.
"Because you can beat them up without feeling guilty." Naruto answered casually.
Sasuke smirked. "Hn it really is impossible to understand you."
"Then I'll make it simple for you, I'm an awesome ninja in training who happens to be one hell of a ladies man." Naruto boasted proudly.
"Then do me a favor and get these girls off my back so I can focus my attention on more important matters." Sasuke jested.
"I think you'll regret that decision when all the hotties are all over me." Naruto summarized.
"I think I'll cope." Sasuke countered as he and Naruto made there way back towards their side of the academy.
Meanwhile a boy with long brown hair and pupil-less white eyes had been watching the proceedings. His face portrayed a neutral expression while his mind was currently deep in thought. 'Both of those boys proved to be quite strong, for a couple first years.' He assessed. 'Only time will tell if either of them is capable of truly testing my abilities. But I still can't shake the feeling that blond one had been holding back, if so he's one to keep a close eye on.'
(A few minutes Later)
"So where the heck did you two disappear to!" Kiba demanded once Naruto and Sasuke had returned.
"No where important." Naruto answered plainly. "Besides you should be thanking me."
"Wha? What for?" Kiba asked dumbly.
"Because of me you got to spend nearly an entire lunch period, with this group of lovely ladies." Naruto returned.
"Yeah, but I wasn't exactly welcome." Kiba grumbled.
"That's because our hearts belong to Sasuke-kun." The pinkette of the group barked in.
"Well that's too bad rosemary." Naruto stated. "I hate to see such beauty wasted."
The girl blushed at Naruto's words before something dawned on her. "Hey what do you mean wasted?"
"Simple Sasuke just isn't interested in the way you're interested in him." Naruto answered casually. "So you'll spend all your time chasing a lost cause."
Another girl of the group took that moment to pipe in. "Listen blond boy…" She started but was cut off by Naruto.
"The name is Naruto sweet cheeks."
The girl narrowed her eyes on Naruto. "First off never call me sweet cheeks, my name is Ino. And second I don't care what you say I'll win Sasuke-kun's affections just you watch."
"Ahem" The pink haired girl interrupted. "We all know you don't stand a chance, it's me Sasuke-kun will fall in love with."
"Get real Sakura." Ino fired back. "As if Sasuke-kun will settle for mediocrity. He's an Uchiha and he deserves the best."
"Then move aside." Another girl cut in. "Because that spot is obviously taken by me!"
"Say what!" Another girl shot in, and the small argument eventually escalated into an all out war of who would win Sasuke's affections between the girls.
Naruto simply stared at the scene dumbfounded, before he turned his attention to Kiba. "You know what, this is a lost cause. I say we head over and talk to the chicks a year ahead of us."
Kiba agreed with Naruto but the bell had chosen that moment to ring signaling the end of lunch period.
"Crap" Naruto grumbled. "I guess we'll have to put that plan on hold then." Naruto confirmed as he headed back to the class with Kiba at his side.
(Later That Day)
"What! You actually slapped a girl right on the ass!" Jiraiya shouted in a mix of admiration and disbelief "And a Hyuuga to boot no less." Jiraiya added while wiping a tear from his eye. "Kid you're one after my own heart."
Naruto grinned. "Yeah I am pretty great, but it's been hard trying to get the attention of the other girls in my class." Naruto explained. "Their all in love or so they think with Sasuke Uchiha."
"Then why not just upstage the little gaki then?" Jiraiya suggested.
"Uh perhaps you shouldn't be encouraging Naruto to pick fights." Kakashi suggested. "Isn't it more important that he make friends as opposed to enemies?"
"Who cares about that?" Jiraiya rebuked. "Everyone knows a female friend is worth like three times the amount of male friends."
"And where did you get these statistics?" Kakashi questioned lazily while flipping to the next page in his book.
"It's all written and Jiraiya's handbook one o one." Jiraiya answered only getting a sigh in response from Kakashi.
"Well I think Kakashi-niisan is right." Naruto confirmed. "I don't think I should go to the lengths of humiliating Sasuke just to steal his fan-girls attention. Besides what kind of man would I be not to rise to the challenge?" Naruto added.
"Come again?" Jiraiya questioned.
"I'll prove I can get all the honey's through my charm alone." Naruto claimed.
"Hehe kid, I knew you had all the makings to be one hell of a womanizer." Jiraiya announced. "Now if only Kakashi would fully give in to his calling, instead of trying to hide it, we'd be one force to reckon with."
"Forgive me if I don't think your idea of starting a womanizer club sounds enticing." Kakashi countered.
Jiraiya simply waved Kakashi off. "Now don't come complaining to me when Naruto gets older and were both knee deep in booty, while you're still using the old fashioned way of getting off."
"Nothing a brothel can't assist me with." Kakashi answered simply.
Jiraiya smirked. "Hehe I can respect that." Jiraiya confirmed. "In fact why don't you look after the kid tonight, there's some… business I have to take care of." Jiraiya claimed as he stood up with a grin that took up the entirety of his face.
"Someone's getting lucky tonight." Naruto stated while giving Jiraiya a thumbs up which he returned.
"Naruto, luck has nothing to do with it where he's going." Kakashi stated.
"Aw don't be sour because I beat you to the punch." Jiraiya chimed happily as he exited their apartment while whistling a cheerful melody.
'I hope you never become that bad.' Kakashi thought while staring at Naruto. 'Then again it just might be too late for that.'
Alright, that's chapter four folks. I felt really motivated after the great reception last chapter, so I went on and wrote up this chapter. Anyway as you can see, Sasuke in this chapter was fairly neutral, because his family isn't dead yet, and making him a douche right off the bat wouldn't make sense. Well anyway let me know what you thought about the chapter. Also to anyone that reads my story Petals and Thorns expect a new chapter for it by Monday, until then later.
