In room 202 of Aichi* hospital, a blond boy with three whisker marks, started to wake up. His eyes scrunched up as the sunlight leaked through the windows and bathed him in gold.

As he groggily opened his eyes, he looked to his left, opposite from the window. His sight was still blurry, but he could tell someone was in the chair by his bed. His sight righted, and his eyes widened at what he saw.

It was Tsunade. She came back for him. She was also holding the uniform in her lap. So it all wasn't a lie! Naruto reached out to wake her, when more memories came. Of the smile and sickly sweet voice calling out to him, before pain exploded throughout his body. When his blood was spilled. The evil laughs that reached his ears 24/7.

Naruto shot up, and slumped his shoulders. He flinched when he felt something cold and wet slide down his cheek. He covered his face with his hands and begun to cry out all the pain, and loneliness he's held for years on end.

He flinched when he felt someone sit down and wrap their arms around him. "Naruto, it's just me, Tsunade."

He continued to cry and let himself except this comfort at least once. Tsunade whispered reassurances in his ear, and soon he calmed down and put back on his mask.

His mask that hid his true pain. His weakness that he didn't want anybody to see.

Tsunade seemed a little taken aback of how quick he hid his emotions again, but recovered quicker than last time, getting used to that, and knew it would take time to have him show any emotion at all. So she didn't push it.

"C'mon, gaki! Today you have to go to school and your already late. I'll walk you to class myself, and introduce you." She got up, and started to walk away. She stopped in front of the door and said, "Get dressed. And, at least try to talk to some of the other kids, mmk?"

Naruto stayed motionless, as Tsunade walked out. When the door closed, Naruto slowly got up and stood over the clothes. He picked up the undershirt. It was white and a tie came with it which was the color red. 'Of blood.' Naruto thought.

The pants were black dress pants, and the jacket was outlined in white and colored black.

He dressed in them, and walked out into the hospital's hallway. He looked to the right then to the left, and found Tsunade leaning on the wall. She pushed herself off the wall and said, "Come on, then. Don't just stand there." as she walked away.

Naruto followed her out to a black sleek car. "Get in, then! I don't want to be here all day!" she yelled from the other side of the car.

'She must've gotten there when I was daydreaming.' thought Naruto.

He was daydreaming of what his life is going to turn out. How Orochimaru was somehow going to come for him, to experiment on him, and hurt him. Would it affect him? No! He wouldn't let anyone change how he was now. That decision was final.

~~~~Time Skip to the School~~~~

Naruto and Tsunade were walking down the hallways, when Tsunade stopped in front of room C102. The door opened to reveal...a guy with a mask reading Icha Icha Paradise with his legs propped up on the desk, while the rest of the class was yelling, throwing paper airplanes, and just being plain, well, annoying.

Tsunade walked to the front of the class, right next to that weird guy, and slammed her fist down onto the desk, splintering it. The class froze, slowly turned to face her and yelled, after standing and bowing, "Gomenasai, Tsunade-sama!"

She put on a smirk, gestured towards the door, and said, "We have a new student joining us today! Be nice," a dark aura started to surround her, "or else. Hahaha! Well anyways, I adopted him, so he's my son. His name is Naruto Uzamaki. He kept his last name because he wasn't comfortable changing it."She looked out the door and called for Naruto.

He wasn't there.

"Kakashi."

"Hai!" Kakashi yelled while mock saluting her, and standing stiff like a soldier.

"I need to talk to you while we find Naruto. Come." Kakashi walked out, when Tsunade was halfway out the door however, she stopped and said, "Behave." in a voice that promised pain if they didn't.

Then she ran to the left, with Kakashi down the hallway.

~~~~Naruto;s POV~~~~

When I saw her punch the desk, and yell, I freaked. I backed up a step, then another, and ran to the right, down the hallway.

I kept running and running, till I stopped, and cowered under a window. Trembling, I put my knees up and my arms around them as I thought of Orochimaru, Kabuto, and if I should trust Tsunade.

I trembled with sobs. The one word that snapped me out of my depression was, "Dobe."

When I looked up, I saw the most gorgeous boy ever.

~~~~Sasuke's POV~~~~

I woke up irritated. Apparently, Tsunade woke me up just to introduce someone new! Wait...What? Did I hear that right? She ADOPTED a kid?!

I snapped my head towards the door and saw a blonde boy take a couple steps back, then run to the right. I looked back to Tsunade and Kakashi. She said something to him, and he saluted. 'That pedophile.' I thought. They ran to the left! Hah! Those idiots! When they ran out the door, I got up, and walked towards the exit.

When I was about to walk out the door, Sakura stopped me. "Where are you going Saaasuke-kun?" she asked in that disgustingly fake sweet voice as she held to my arm.

"Let go Sakura." I ordered annoyed.

"Whhh~y!" she whined in her freaking. Annoying. Voice! So I just took my arm (roughly) back, and started to walk down the hallway to the left. I ignored Sakura's voice when she yelled for me to come back, and blah, blah, go out with me, blah.

When I heard a sobbing I looked up to see the same blonde boy, crying under the window and mumbling something like, "Not again...please don't make me go back..." and other incoherent things.

"Dobe." Ah, crap! I said that outloud without thinking! When I was about to ask him why he ran, he looked up. Then, I saw it.

His gorgeous blue eyes, his bright blonde hair, the three whisker-like marks on his cheeks...I was at a loss of words. Only one word could describe him.

Beautiful.
