In the beginning...

It never ceased to amaze him, just how he managed to get himself into these situations. Yanked out of a semi-comfy home and sent to Konoha, to live with a complete stranger, who claimed to be his 'godfather'. What a weekend.

He sighed heavily as he unpacked his freshly delivered belongings in the basement of a small house that reminded him of a coffin. Yeah, it was that small. Who ever heard of a one bedroom home? Technically, it was two bedrooms but one was converted into an office, with a mini library for writing.

Whatever... He thought placing his clothes in the designated dresser draws.

Glancing around the basement, Naruto noticed it was actually pretty cool. There was a separate entrance for the basement, aside from the regular door and it was completely finished with a full sized bed, couch, radio, full bathroom and window. It's like having my own apartment. He thought to himself. Maybe this won't be so bad after all. He decided forgetting one major detail.

This was the part that sucked the most. The part he always hated worst than any other, was having to go to yet another school. He'd have to start from square one, try to make friends all over again and probably end up being the target of 'popular' kids, yeah just like in the movies. That sucked major balls. Just as he was starting to feel a little better about his situation, he felt bad all over again.

Naruto just didn't have the best of luck when it came to making friends. He always seemed to piss off the wrong kinds of people, then he would get wailed on all year long for it. He really couldn't help it though, it was part of his nature. He loved being goofy and silly and sometimes people just didn't get it. As for bullies, well he had no toleration for them. No matter how out numbered he was, he would always stand up for himself. That was a rule.

So far this would be school #5. Obviously he didn't stay in one place too long. As he laid across the bed, situated in the back of the large room, he mulled over the most recent prank that got him sent back to the orphanage, a classic.

Flashback

"Naruto! How could you? Do you have any idea how much it's going to cost to rewire the whole house and plumbing? Not to mention the damage you caused at school last week?" Mitoya, his foster parent, yelled as she packed his bags.

"I said I was sorry..." he said sulking in the corner as he watched with amazement how fast she was moving, as if this was planned and practiced.

"That is not good enough this time...you're always sorry...time and time and time again...sorry doesn't cover all the problems you cause around here." She said resentfully.

It almost hurt. He actually thought she liked him. It was only meant to be a prank. You know something to make him laugh. He thought it was genius. He had rigged the wiring and plumbing to go on and off randomly every time someone triggered it unknowingly. When the phone rang, the toilet would flush. When that TV came on, the shower would run. When the faucet was ran, the blender would blend and the microwave would start. Classic. Guess he was the only one who thought that.

"I'm sorry to say but you have to go." She said not seeming very sorry at all.

"But...but...what about school and church and my friends...what about you?" He asked in a panic.

"You should have thought about all that before you decided to destroy things around here. I knew taking you would be a handful, but it's become too big of a headache. Having to run down to the school house everyday...Naruto did this, Naruto did that...your driving me crazy...maybe it's better off this way."

"Yeah, better for you." He said kicking at the carpet bunched together in the corner.

Beep, beep, beep!

"The car is here to get you...I'll help you load your things." She said carrying a bag with her out the door.

Slam!

The trunk shut as she opened the back door of the cab for him. He didn't cry, he didn't say anything. It was yet another disappointment in the life of Naruto Uzumaki. He gazed forward; that would be the last time he ever saw Mitoya. Once he was on his way back to the orphanage, all he could do was regret. Regret being born. Regret how he lived. He hated his life.

That wench. He thought sourly. She didn't even have the decency to bring me back herself. He said turning to the back window.

End flashback

"Hey, kid...I'm getting ready to order pizza. What topping do you want?" A husky voice called down from the door at the top of the stairs.

"Anchovies and pineapple...do they have Ramen flavored?" He called back facing the steps now.

"Hahaha, no but anchovies and pineapple it is." The older man shouted before shut the door.

Naruto smiled to his self. He had been so preoccupied with wallowing in self pity that he completely forgot about Jiraiya. You know, the man that came and got him. He didn't really know how to acknowledge the guy; after all he was still a complete stranger. Hell, he never knew his real father, let alone that he had a 'godfather' out there or any other family members for that matter. Still he decided to act as if this was just another home. For now it was. Soon Jiraiya might decide he didn't want to be bothered with another persons kid. I mean hey, it happened before.

After hearing the door bell ring, Naruto walked up to the first floor where he met Jiraiya in the kitchen and joined the big guy at the table.

"Pizza a la Jiraiya ...that means it's special." He said handing Naruto his own pie. "I know how you growing boys can be. Plus I hate anchovies." He said taking his own pepperoni slices on to his plate.

Staring silently over his pizza at Jiraiya, Naruto reminisced on the day he showed up at the orphanage. He was out in the back yard when he was called in.

Flashback

"Hey, yeah...that's him alright. Looks just like Yondaime..." Naruto could hear a big white haired man say as he walked past him to the head masters office.

"Close the door behind you son." Said Mrs. Flasco. She was the owner and operator of the orphanage in which Naruto had graced the halls of on 4, no 5 separate occasions. "You may have noticed the guy in the hall. His name is Jiraiya. He claims to be a relative of yours. He knew your parents and wants to take you in."

"My parents?" Naruto asked not quite convinced. "What do you mean take me in? I'm going to another foster home? What a crock..." he said folding his arms over his chest. He would just rather live out his days in the orphanage till he was grown enough to do his own thing. Going from pillar to post was a pain in the arse.

"Naruto, you're getting too old to go from home to home anymore. Jiraiya has requested to adopt you, not just foster you till you screw up. It's about time you left here and stopped coming back." The women said with little to no compassion.

"Sure, sure...whatever. But, I'll be back. I always come back." Naruto said standing from his seat and walking out the room.

"So whaddya think kid?" The white haired guy asked him on his way out the headmaster's office.

"I think, I'll be back..." Naruto said passing by the bewildered male, to go to his room to pack his things once again.

End flashback

A week later here he was.

"Hey, Jiraiya ..." Naruto said between bites.

"What's up?" He answered back.

"At the orphanage, you said something when I walked by...you said I looked just like, Yondaime."

"Yeah, sure ya do...bright blonde hair, big blue eyes...of course Kushina is in there too. You got her last name after all."

Naruto was quiet for a second. "I don't know those people." The boy said turning his head away feeling a little bit ashamed.

"Hey lemme show you something." Jiraiya said standing and walking out the room.

Naruto followed behind him. They went to his study.

After about ten minutes of searching around the tight office space, he produced a picture of a man and a pregnant woman. They were smiling and holding each other very closely. The woman was beautiful. She had long hair, which looked to be red. The guy had an electric smile with bright hair like Naruto's, and surreal blue eyes.

"That's them. We called him, Yondaime but his name's Minato. Minato Namikaze and she's Kushina Uzumaki. Those are your folks brat." The voice now spoke from behind Naruto.

All he could do was stare at the photo in hand. He was in a mild state of shock. He had never seen them before. His parents. And they looked so happy. One day... He thought. I'll have the courage to ask what happened to them.

Learning the ropes

Monday

Waking up to an alarm clock, which was set two hours too late, Naruto sleepily stretched and exited the warm confines of his new bed. He stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower. He looked in the mirror at messy blonde locks and tired blue eyes with a yawn. After getting dressed in his favorite orange and blue track suit, Naruto begin towards the stairs. Stopping short, he turned to the photo he had sitting on top of a small night stand near his bed. It was the photo of his parents.

Rubbing his thumb over the glass that framed the picture, Naruto felt a ping in his heart. He had spent many days before trying to figure out what his parents looked like. He also spent many days resenting them, being angry that he was left all alone. After he saw the picture the night before, he couldn't feel deserted any longer. He didn't quite get the circumstances yet, but he now knew his parents hadn't just abandoned him. There was a reason behind what happened. Naruto smiled and placed the photo back on the table top then he walked up the stairs.

"Finally decided to get up huh?" Jiraiya asked already seated at the table.

"Yea, how bout that." Naruto said opening some bread to place in the toaster.

"Well, soon as you're done I'll drop you off at school. They were expecting you in at 8am after all." The white haired man said munching on a bowl of cereal.

Naruto quietly buttered his toast still seated opposite of Jiraiya.

"Aren't you like, gonna get dressed or something?" Naruto asked taking a bite and sipping on orange juice.

"Look kid, I'm a writer, in case you didn't notice. I get the luxury of traveling, conducting experiments, and doing research, all in my pajamas if I care to…Ha! Tell me that's not impressing!" Jiraiya said standing from the table with his nose up in the air striking a pose.

"Research? Is that what you call all those girly magazines up in your study? 'Playdude' and 'Stud monthly'?" Naruto questioned as he grabbed for his swing bag.

Jiraiya almost fell over with embarrassment. "HEY WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA GOING THROUGH MY THINGS YA BRAT!" He yelled storming off to get his keys.

….

The duo pulled up in front of the school and Naruto looked over at the tall white haired man still dressed in his robe and slippers.

"Well, Tsunade is waiting for you up in the main office. She's the principal, she's a real old friend too." He said looking down the street then at the blonde haired boy seated next to him.

"Sure." Naruto nodded as he went for the door handle. He was still apprehensive of the whole situation. Though he hated being new all over again and moving to a foreign place with strange people and an unknown caretaker, he was definitely thankful Jiraiya had come along when he did. So far he was turning out to be a pretty awesome guy.

"Hey kid," Jiraiya began as Naruto pulled his hand back and looked to the older guy. "Look, it's hard to believe but we're family. Your dad was like a son to me…I know, it took me a really long time to find you, and I'm sorry about that but truth is, I'm just glad I did. Anyway, take this, call me in case you need anything." Jiraiya said handing Naruto a cell phone.

Naruto's blue eyes glanced over the phone then the man's features. He was being serious, Naruto could tell. "Thanks, Pervy Sage." Naruto said quickly tucking away the cellular and stepping out of the car.

"W-whaddya mean Pervy! Don't call me that! It's research, and not to be taken lightly!" Jiraiya yelled as the passenger door closed and Naruto, hands perched behind his head, made his way up the stairs and into the school.

Haha, damn kid. Jiraiya laughed and made his way back home to start more 'research'.

Once in school, Naruto mindlessly wandered the halls looking for the main office. Damn old man…he could have pointed me in the right direction at least… Naruto scoffed as he walked through hall after hall of doors and lockers. Finally, after about 15 minutes of nothing, he came to a big light green room that held a desk and a bowl cut wearing young lady with a dark dress.

"Hi there, can I help you?" The girl called out upon noticing that Naruto was just standing about the door way.

"Yea, I guess…is this the principal's office?" He asked stepping closer to her desk.

"Sure it is, you must be Naruto. We were expecting you." She said with a smile while extending her hand to greet the boy.

"Dammit, you didn't even give me till 1 o'clock today! YOU ARE DRIVING ME TO DRINK, MORE FREQUENTLY!" A loud voice roared from behind the 2nd closed door which was situated to the right of the secretary. "I'm warning you, you had better make it your damn business not to come back in here again today!"

BAAAMMMMMM!

The girl before Naruto smiled nervously. "Haha, I'm Shizune by the way. Just have a seat there and Lady Tsunade will be right with you." She pointed standing from her seat.

Naruto walked over to a bench on the outer side of the closed door and watched his feet. Soon after a few more yells and slams, what he presumed were blows to someone's head, the closed door swung open violently. Out sashayed a tall, slim, dark haired boy dressed in a black collared shirt and khaki shorts. Naruto watched him from the back and wondered what the two toned fan on his back stood for. The teen stopped in front of Shizune's desk with his hands shoved deep into his pockets. Naruto noticed the blank expression on his face as he waited for Shizune to stop scribbling on a sheet of paper. As Naruto's eyes glanced over the boys features, he pondered silently about the bandages that covered his arms and legs from wrist to elbow and ankle to knee. Bringing his eyes back upward Naruto was shocked to notice the boy staring back at him with pitch black, stone cold eyes. Naruto looked away, he didn't want to seem nosy or anything so he focused on his feet again.

"Try not to get into anymore trouble today Sasuke. Lady Tsunade isn't in the best of moods lately." Shizune said handing him a pink slip.

The boy looked disinterested. "Hn." He grunted as he gripped the paper and strolled out the office.

Sasuke... Naruto repeated in his head. He watched the boy turn and disappear.

"SHIZUNE!" A voice roared through the now open door.

"Ah, yes Lady Tsunade?" Shizune said with a worried expression on her face as she slipped into the woman's office.

"Sake please…" Naruto heard the unseen lady request.

"Ma'am not while school's in session…Naruto Uzumaki is here. He's waiting for you." Shizune said gesturing towards the door.

"Right, right…send em in." Tsunade said sounding less impressed since her yearning for liquor was shut down.

"She'll see you now Naruto." Shizune said exiting the office and settling back down into her own desk again.

Naruto stood, swallowed deep and dredged into the office expecting to find an old horse of a lady but instead he found a busty blond with large breast and light brown eyes staring back at him.

"Com'on in. Close the door. Sit, sit let's chat." The bountiful woman said gesturing toward a seat in front of her.

Naruto sat and looked over the woman again carefully.

Neither of the two said anything for a while.

"So that fool Jiraiya finally found you huh?" She smiled. "You sure are elusive aren't you?"

Naruto scrunched his nose. He wasn't sure what to say. "I guess." He said. Yeah, 16 years… He thought to his self quietly. Too busy writing perverted novels…

"Well, enough small talk. You're going to start classes today, late none the less, but better late than never. Here's your schedule. That's it for the rest of the year. I could appoint a guide for you if you need but I think it's pretty self explanatory," she shrugged. Tsunade walked around to the front of her desk and sat on it right across from Naruto. "The cafeteria is in the basement. The floors are coded by #s, one, two and three and the rooms are letters. This is the first floor, hence my office is 1G… Math is 2nd floor, you're in class 2N, and so on and so forth…bathrooms are on the far left and right of each floor near the stairwells. The gym is through the first floor Z entrance at the end of the hall, it leads to the actual gym room, changing area and showers; also the pool and the indoor track. There is also a path out back for the outdoor track, and football field." She paused and tapped her chin thinking about what she missed. "There is a Bio lab with a green house on the roof too…that's accessed through the third floor roof exit." She looked down at Naruto who seemed to be in a daze. "Any questions so far?"

Naruto panned back to earth and looked up at her. "Nope." He lied. The last thing he heard was cafeteria.

"For a twerp, you seem to be a man of little words." She said rubbing a pear on her low cut shirt before taking a bite out of it. "Jeez…you really are the spitting image of Yondaime kid…"

Naruto still didn't respond. He was taking everything in.

"Well at any rate, it's time for you to go." She said walking back to her chair taking a seat. Naruto stood and begin to walk out. "Hey, kid…" She called out behind him. "Lemme know if you need anything. I can always get you that guide."

"Sure, granny." Naruto said with a smile and was out the door with speed just as Tsunade hurled a book towards him which landed on the floor just outside her office.

Arrrgggghhh… Tsunade growled. What has Jiraiya gotten me into?

212? Naruto said walking past class after class locker after locker.

RRRIIIINNNNNGGGGGG!

The bell screeched above his head.

Dammit… Naruto said through clenched teeth as he found himself amid a sea of teenagers being bumped to and fro. Moving into a corner, the blonde boy waited and decided to let the rush die down before he went to look for his locker again. After about 10 minutes the hall was quiet once more; finding 212 Naruto began to fumble around with the combination lock affixed to the metal storage bin.

"Hey…what's up with you? You new here or what?" A voice came from behind his open locker.

Naruto rolled his eyes and prepared for what he thought would turn into a fight for sure. "And what's it to you?" He asked slamming his locker shut and staring into dark brown eyes that belonged to a boy about the same height and build as him.

"Heheh...down boy. You're feisty huh?" The boy said leaning back against the row of lockers with a chuckle.

"Look, whatever you want, take it; I'm not in the mood to fight." Naruto said getting ready to slip away when the voice picked up again.

"What? What do I look like some type of delinquent?" The boy asked jumping in front of Naruto causing him to stop in his tracks.

Naruto gave the kid the once over. The teen wore tattered jeans with looping chains, a vintage tee, a red triangle tattoo on each cheek and a skull and bones belt buckle to boot.

"Okay, okay, don't answer that. But seriously, I don't want your crap. I was just curious as to why you're still here in the hall, ya know after classes have already begun. That's detention you know…"

Naruto still a little weary of the boy before him shifted over on one foot. "Well, I could ask you the same question then."

"Clever. But, I already have detention for the rest of the week…maybe the month. Sooo, what's the worst that could happen?" The brown haired teen explained.

After a brief silence the two boys laughed out loud together.

"I'm Naruto." Said blondie extending his hand.

"Kiba." Said the brunette running his hand through his hair instead of shaking Naruto's. "Now that that's out the way, who's your home room teacher?"

Naruto handed him his laminated copy from Tsunade.

"Iruka? Right on. He's cool, we're in the same homeroom." As he studied the sheet Kiba almost bursts at the seams. "Yo, you have almost the same exact schedule as me! This is so freakin awesome, I could be your personal school guide or something."

"Sure, that's cool I guess." Naruto agreed. "What's next then? Chemistry right?" He asked leaning over Kiba's shoulder to peep at the schedule.

Kiba raised a hand. "Dude, I said I could be your guide not your tutor. Let's get you familiar with the school first. Then we can try some actual classes!"

With that said the pair went from floor to floor seemingly unnoticed as they talked Konoha high and other things of course. After an hour passed by, a bell rung and let Kiba know it was lunch time.

"So them right there…don't go near them. They will probably break your cute lil face just for fun." Kiba said pointing out different groups in the cafeteria. He thumbed the direction of a table of rough looking boys. One had shoulder length grayish hair pulled to the back and sat on top of the table. "That's Kabuto, aka medic, he's the leader. His crew, Mizuki, he's super buff and super stupid, dudes like 24 still in the 11th grade still... that's Zabuza, aka demon and Sasori he's small but definitely mean as hell; they call him the puppet master. He's got this look that he does sometimes, I swear he makes you do what he wants just from staring at you. Total freak..."

"Uh huh." Naruto added taking mental notes. It was hard for him to take this warning seriously due to the cartoon-ish nicknames they held. Medic? What's so scary about that?

"And them…" Kiba said nodding his head towards a group of girls. "They're trouble. You may wanna keep away from them too."

Naruto glanced over the table. It was full of pretty girls. A blond with big light eyes, a brunette with a nice smile, and a pink haired girl with green eyes that looked like emeralds.

"What's the problem? They seem innocent enough and very pretty by the way." Naruto said zooming in on the table.

"That's the problem! They go by the 'Kunoichi's'. They will manipulate the shit outta you man. Ino, Ten-ten and Sakura. Just a suggestion, don't let the butterfly lashes and honey flavored lip gloss fool you."

"Hah…scared of a couple of chicks are you?" Naruto poked fun with a chuckle. He thought this was all too damn funny.

Kiba launched a piece of bread at him. "More like chicks from hell." He said joining in the laugh. "Hey, hey! Asshole at 2 o'clock." Kiba said raising his eye brows signaling to Naruto that someone approached him from behind.

"Well, well, well…what do we have here?" Naruto turned and looked toward the voice. "Looks like the class misfit has taken a hostage." Said a boy with long chocolate colored hair tied back into a ponytail.

Naruto couldn't decide if his eyes were a slight lavender or more pearl colored.

"Naruto, Jerk-off. Jerk-off, Naruto." Kiba said looking defiantly at the other dark haired boy.

"Naruto, is it? Don't pay attention to dog brain here. He's misplaced his kibbles-n-bits so he's a bit agitated. I'm Neji. Neji Hyuga." Said the long haired boy solidly extending his hand to Naruto.

"Hahah. Yeah, I'm Naruto." He said as they joined hands.

Neji noticed how striking Naruto's smile was. "Great. Here's a tip though, Naruto. Assuming you're new here, having never seen your face before, trust me when I say, it isn't such a good idea to hang out with the village idiot. He'll only convert you to his level of stupid. That said, have a marvelous day."

Both boys watched as Neji sauntered off.

"Prag. Don't listen to him, he's a total douche. He's got this great big stick up his ass cause everyone's convinced he's this total genius of some sort. Tssss... whatever dude..." Kiba said with a huff.

"What did he want?" Asked a guy with a high ponytail as he joined the table.

"Damn dude, finally. I thought you'd never get here. Shikamaru this is Naruto. Naruto, Shikamaru. He my friend, is the real genius around here!" Kiba shouted rather excitedly.

"Yeah, yeah. Don't be so loud about it. What's up bro?" Shikamaru said knocking fist with Naruto.

"Nothing much, hanging with this lunatic." Naruto said beginning to relax more.

"Yeah sure. I've been giving him the run down of the school. We skipped classes all morning…haha sweet right?" Kiba laughed and waited for Shikamaru's reply.

"Uhhh no." Shikamaru said dryly. "Naruto, take your classes. Trust me; Tsunade can be a real pain in the ass."

"Gottcha," Naruto fired back.

"Where's Shino? And Choji?" Shikamaru asked looking around the café.

"Dunno. Haven't seen em." Kiba said looking towards the entrance door. "Ahhh, look who found their way to school today." He mentioned with a nod causing the other boys eyes to avert to the doorway.

They watched a pale figure with dark features walk up to the food line, grab an apple and glare over the crowded room before taking a few steps past some empty tables.

"Who's that?" Naruto asked noticing it was the same kid who got yelled at earlier in Tsunade's office.

"Him? That's Sasuke. As in Uchiha. Yeah, his names on half the shit in Konoha...don't mess with him either." Kiba shook his head as he leaned back in his chair.

"Uchiha?" Naruto repeated. Before he realized the black haired boy was pulling up a chair to their table.

"Hhm? What was that Naruto? Question about Sasuke? Ask 'em, he's right there." Kiba said looking from boy to boy.

Naruto shot daggers at Kiba from across the table.

Sasuke looked to the blonde. He recalled seeing him earlier in Tsunade's. Clearly he was new. Sasuke's gaze went from Naruto to Kiba. "Idiot." He said biting into his apple.

"Aye! I told you, don't call me that!" Kiba said folding his arms over his chest. "Ass."

Sasuke just glared holes through him without any words.

"Hey, I'm Naruto." Naruto said with a light wave.

Sasuke rolled his eyes back over the blonde quietly chewing apple.

"You guys are so troublesome." Shikamaru huffed while rubbing his temples.

Just as Naruto was about to speak the bell rung.

The table cleared leaving just Kiba and Naruto again.

"Well, next stop is history with Kakashi. We had better go to this class. He likes to call my mom." Kiba offered with Naruto following close behind.

"Hey why'd you say that back there about Sasuke? I mean, to not mess with him?" Naruto asked still struck by curiosity.

Kiba turned to Naruto with a stumped look. "Uhm, just based off the fact that he can probably buy and sell our sorry asses. I forget, you're new...you'll learn." He commented patting his new friend on the back. "Now hey, look alive." Kiba added.

Naruto took a deep breath as they entered Kakashi's domain.
