A/N This has been plaguing my mind for quite a while.

There will be yaoi so turn back if you don't like it. It won't be too extreme though since I'm not much of a romance/smut writer. I'm sorry about that. I could try but I'm afraid of the end results. Haha.

There will be elements of Soul Eater incorporated with Tsuna concerning his abilities; however, I will put my own twists to it to make it work for the story. You'll have to see and find out.

It's been a long time since I watched Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. I gave up on Shippuden a long time ago. There might be some tweaks in most of the events taking place but not too major unless necessary.

Warning: Yaoi, violence, a bit of crack, OOCness on Tsuna's part, slight OOC Naruto, Sakura!bashing, a few other bashings here and there, possible OC's

Pairings: R2718, NarutoX?

Disclaimer: I don't own KHR, Naruto, or Soul Eater.

Chapter 1

It was a peaceful and - scratch that. Let's start over. The sky was clear, the sun was shining, and there was much noise coming from the villagers. Why you may ask? Well, Konoha was never quiet to begin with. Crying babies, couples screaming, fists flying, the usual. But the most prominent was a certain knuckle-headed ninja jumping across the rooftops with buckets of paint in his hands.

"Take that, suckers!" he yelled with a wide grin on his dirty face. He laughed boisterously in the air, avoiding shinobis left and right.

"The Hokage Monument!" a villager shouted, pointing up at the now colorful faces of their past leaders.

"That damn brat!"

Tsuna ignored the ruckus around him as he focused on the display of cakes in front of him. He tapped his chin in serious thought. Should he get chocolate or red velvet? Ohohoho, maybe that new ice cream cake?

He grinned to himself with a giggle. Wait, did he just giggle? He shrugged. Oh, well, when it comes to his beautiful and gorgeous little sweets, he couldn't resist letting loose for a little bit.

"Dame-Tsuna!"

Tsuna turned around while popping a cherry-flavored lollipop in his mouth, rolling it around with his tongue. His face immediately went blank. Pink...so much pink. With blobs of green that reminded him of vomit. He almost choked on his candy. Yes, that monster he just described was none other than Haruno Sakura, the loudest, most annoying bitch to ever live on the planet.

"What are you doing here?" she asked arrogantly.

"Buying cake," Tsuna said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"You should focus on passing the Genin exams," Sakura said with mock pity. "It won't do you any good if you fail again."

Tsuna rolled his eyes and shooed her off with his hands. "Move along. I have no time for you right now. Now, chocolate or red velvet?"

Sakura flushed in embarrassment and turned around with an indignant huff. "Fine. Fail."

When she left, Tsuna finally made his decision. "Haha! Red velvet wins! Come to papa, my darlin'."

He entered the bakery, made his purchase, and walked outside with a white box tied with a simple pink bow. He licked his lips and internally drooled at the thought of taking the first bite of the sweet, wonderful, delic -

"Out of my way!"

Tsuna widened his eyes as an orange blur ran past him, making him stumble back and slip. He saw red when his box of cake fell slowly in front of him.

"No!" he cried out, his hand reaching out for the falling box. It was too late.

His beautiful cake was ruined, splattered across the pavement. He crunched the lollipop in his mouth viciously. Others shied away from him, their eyes wide in terror at the growing killer intent coming from the small, vulnerable-looking boy.

"I shall avenge thee!" Tsuna exclaimed, raising his fist in the air before bolting towards the direction of where the cake-killer was.

He gained even greater speed when he caught sign of a familiar blonde and orange blur. He dodged other people fluidly, weaving in and out of the crowds. He slid under a food cart and immediately went on his feet, never stopping.

When there was a close amount of distance, Tsuna jumped and aimed a side kick at Naruto's back, knocking down the poor boy.

"What the hell?" the blonde screamed.

Tsuna picked him up by the collar. "I finally caught you, cake-killer!"

Suddenly, a net was thrown over them, succeeding in capturing the two boys. They both struggled viciously, hissing like wild animals.

A certain scarred chuunin sweat-dropped at the scene but quickly fixed his composure, his eyes becoming serious.

"Naruto, Tsuna, why don't we have a little chat?"

"Naruto, why did you have to go off painting the Hokage Monument?" Iruka said, pinching the bridge of his nose. "In broad daylight to be exact."

The blonde glared defiantly and crossed his arms over his chest. "I just gave them a bit of a makeover."

Iruka stared at him incredulously. "A-a what?"

"A makeover," Naruto said proudly before bashed on the head. "Itai! What was that for, Iruka-sensei?"

Iruka ignored him and turned towards Tsuna. The brunette looked back at him evenly.

"I have justifications on what I did," Tsuna said with a sniff.

"Oh, really?"

"Yes." Tsuna glared and pointed accusingly at Naruto. "He killed my cake!"

Iruka face-faulted. "Your...your cake."

Tsuna nodded. "Yes, my cake. He killed it."

Naruto glared at the brunette. "It's just a stupid cake! Why the hell did you had to kick me in the back for that?"

A glint appeared in Tsuna's eyes. "Oh, I can do more than just a kick."

A low, evil chuckle escaped his lips and Naruto unconsciously shivered. Iruka felt a migraine coming in. They were the lowest in the class and he seriously didn't want them to be in his class for another year - or possibly forever. Kami-sama, what did he do to obtain this punishment?

"I hope the both of you know how to clean. I want both of you to go up the Hokage Monument after school and clean it. I don't want to see a small dot of paint left, is that clear?"

"Hey, why do I have to clean it?" Tsuna said, waving his arms in the air. "I didn't do it!"

"Two people working together are better than one," Iruka said with an evil smirk.

A shiver ran through both of the boys' spines. It was always the nice ones.

"Go to your seats. You have a test to do."

Tsuna was about to protest again but was silenced when Iruka gave him a look. He shoved his hands into his pockets. "Whatever."

Tsuna watched the many parents praising their children for a great job. He popped another lollipop in his mouth; this time it was cotton candy. He yawned without a care in the world.

He failed. Nothing much to say about that. Of course, he didn't really try. He was too pissed over his destroyed cake to think about some Genin exam. Really, it was pointless. Half of the kids who passed were probably going to become some store clerk rather than a Shinobi or possibly die on the battlefield.

He looked around and finally spotted a familiar blonde sitting on a swing. His head was cast down, his unruly bangs covering his eyes.

Tsuna was mildly disturbed. He knew Naruto was a lonely kid inside and an outcast to the whole village, but the way the parents pointed at him was a bit too much. It took this much for him to restrain himself.

He grabbed Naruto's arm and pulled him up. "Come on. Don't waste your time here. We have to go clean the mess you made."

"W-what?"

"Want a lollipop?" Tsuna took out an orange-flavored candy from his pocket.

Naruto stared at it as if it was some foreign object. Tsuna tossed it to him. "You'll like it."

"Thank you," Naruto whispered, taking off the wrapper.

Tsuna grinned. He might get a new sweets buddy. It won't be that bad. And the blonde might have a friend for the first time.

As they walked through the streets of Konoha, it was quiet between the pair. But it was a good quiet. It didn't bother Tsuna as much. He could live with it.

"Why are you so nice to me?" Naruto said quietly, unlike his usual loud self. "I ruined your cake."

Tsuna had a waterfall of tears pour from his eyes, remembering his fallen cake. He comically pulled out a tissue and blew his nose. "Do not remind me of such a tragedy, Naruto. Do not."

Naruto sweat-dropped. "Uh, yeah. Sorry about that."

Tsuna wiped his eyes. "Now I have to bake tons more at home."

"Uh, Tsuna, we're here."

The brunette looked up to see the colorful faces of the Hokage. "Well, shit. Did you have to go all-out?"

Naruto laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry."

Tsuna smirked. "No need. The Yondaime looks cool with that blue mustache."

They burst out laughing as they walked up the stairs, holding onto the rails and each other for dear life. They found two buckets of water and rags already set out for them. A note was placed next to them:

I want it spotless.

The boys pouted but then grinned at one another.

"Let's get to work, shall we?" Tsuna said, running to the Shodaime's head.

Naruto grinned and laughed as he jumped onto the Nidaime's head. "I'll get this cleaned up in no time, dattebayo!"

"I'm getting it done first!" Tsuna said, sticking out his tongue while wiping furiously at a red swirl.

"If I win, you owe me ramen, dattebayo!"

"Hey, you owe me my cake!"

The villagers all stared up at the two yelling boys as they started to clean up the Hokage Monument. Most of them scowled at the loud commotion while a few smiled to themselves with a shake of their head.

The sun slowly dipped in the horizons as time passed by, creating a wonderful array of colors to paint the sky. A gentle breeze blew in the village with a few leaves joining its route. It was now very peaceful as the people on the streets started to go back home to their families.

Tsuna and Naruto were lying on their backs, panting from their little workout. A bright grin stretched on their lips.

Naruto pumped a fist in the air. "I win, dattebayo! Now you have to buy me ramen!"

Tsuna scowled a bit but smiled at the blonde's contagious energy. "You still owe me cake," he whined.

Naruto sat upright with a thumbs up. "I'll get it to you tomorrow! I promise!"

"Hmm. You better. Or else I'll shove my cake deprived fork down your throat."

Naruto paled. "You wouldn't?"

"I kid," Tsuna said, sitting up and slapping Naruto's back gently. "For now."

"Hey!"

"Hello, Naruto-kun, Tsuna-kun."

The boys turned around to see Mizuki waving at them with a smile on his face. Tsuna rolled his strawberry lollipop in his mouth. He was bad news and a terrible actor.

"Ah, Mizuki-sensei!" Naruto said, standing up. "What's up?"

"I'm so sorry that you guys couldn't pass," Mizuki said sadly.

Naruto's face fell a bit. "Oh, yeah. That."

"I don't care," Tsuna said with a shrug. "Nothing you can do about it."

"Actually, there is something that I want to tell you."

Naruto perked up in interest. "Nani, sensei? What do you mean?"

Mizuki smiled. "Well..."

Tsuna jumped through the trees, keeping his eyes on Naruto. Just what did they get themselves into? Oh, yeah. Steal the Forbidden Scroll. Even an idiot would refuse to do such a thing. It's called forbidden for a fuckin' reason and, oh, he didn't know, sealed in one of the most heavily guarded vaults in the Hokage Residence.

Calm down, Tsuna thought, biting his lollipop stick harshly.

He suddenly sensed a chakra presence from far behind. It was a considerable distance away but it was there. It was Mizuki.

Shit, he thought.

"Naruto!" he said. "Stop!"

The blonde complied, jumping down in a small clearing. He grinned. "Hey, wanna look inside?"

Tsuna landed gently next to him and bonked him on the head with a tick mark. "Did you know what you just did back there? We stole the Forbidden Scroll! Mizuki's planning something."

Naruto smiled sadly. "Yeah, I figured."

Tsuna raised a brow. "And yet you did it."

Naruto shrugged. "I wanted to knock him down a few pegs or two, dattebayo."

Maybe the blonde wasn't as stupid as he seemed. Maybe, just maybe they were on the same boat. Boys who wore masks to protect themselves.

What else are you hiding? Tsuna thought.

Naruto opened the scroll with a mischievous grin. "Neh, let's take a look."

Tsuna sighed. Damn human curiosity. He sat down next to the blonde and scanned the content.

"Oh, this looks cool!" Naruto said, pointing at a technique.

Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Tsuna glanced at the blonde. He was terrible at the clone jutsu but it would most likely work. Tsuna knew that the boy had rather large chakra reserves for someone his age and with no one to teach him how to control it made Tsuna lose faith in humanity. Seriously, he sometimes didn't know how people's thoughts worked nowadays.

It was only a simple seal and it wouldn't take a genius to know how to do it. It all depended on the mechanism of the jutsu though.

Before Naruto could try anything, Tsuna suddenly perked up, sensing more chakra presence coming at them. Two people? No, the other one was Iruka.

"Naruto, Tsuna!" Iruka said, landing down next to them with wide eyes. "Did you know what you just did?"

"I was asking him the same thing," Tsuna deadpanned, ignoring Naruto's protests.

"You - "

"Oi, Iruka," a voice said from above them. "You're interfering with their test."

"Test?" Iruka said angrily. "What test? This is treason, Mizuki."

Mizuki had two large shurikens attached to his back. Tsuna was instantly on alert.

"Naruto, give me the scroll," Mizuki said politely. "You and Tsuna did a great job."

"You said if we master a technique we could pass, right?" Naruto said excitedly.

Tsuna knew he was excited for a totally different reason. He rolled his lollipop stick around in his mouth, wishing that he hadn't sucked the candy dry. Oh, well.

Mizuki's face tightened a bit. "Yes, I did."

Iruka glared. "Mizuki, you traitor!"

"You're all bark but no bite, Iruka," Mizuki said, rolling his eyes. "Hmm, seems like I need to keep a leash on you."

He suddenly threw one of his shurikens at Tsuna, his eyes gleaming madly. "I will get that scroll!"

Tsuna saw a ripple in the shadows at the corner of his eye. He gave a hand signal for the two hidden people to stop.

I'm fine, he told them mentally.

He swiftly took out a kunai and deflected the incoming blade. There was silence.

Mizuki stared at him wide-eyed along with Iruka. Naruto just grinned in a feral manner, the whiskers on his cheeks becoming a bit more prominent.

"Tsuna, are you okay?" Iruka said.

The brunette spat his lollipop stick at the ground. "I think I'll be fine."

He saw the subtle change in Naruto's demeanor and nodded at him. The blonde only looked at him happily.

An instant later, they jumped up swiftly with surprising speed, appearing in front of Mizuki.

"Yo," Tsuna said.

"Boo!" Naruto said.

They both punched the man in the face, sending him flying through a few trees. Naruto placed his hands behind his head, a pout on his face. "That wasn't much fun, 'ttebayo."

They looked down at the sputtering chuunin with a grin.

"How was that?" they said at the same time.

Iruka stopped to take a good look at the boys, his eyes wary. He shook his head with a smile.

"That wasn't expected."

Tsuna popped another lollipop in his mouth. Hmm, coffee-flavored.

"But...you both passed. You're official Genins of Konoha."

Tsuna almost choked on his candy while Naruto patted him repeatedly on the back. They looked at one another and unconsciously clasped their hands together with a grin.

"We have to talk," Tsuna said.

"Not a problem, dattebayo."

"Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow."

"You didn't have to follow me," Tsuna murmured, pulling his covers over himself. "I can take care of myself, damn it."

"I'm hurt, Dame-Tsuna," a deep, rich voice said from the shadows.

"Good," Tsuna whispered.

His eyes started to drift to a close. He was absolutely tired. After stuffing himself with his homemade cakes, it took a lot out of him. Not to mention the cleaning he had to do earlier. Why did the Hokage Monument be so big? Oh, well. He would be dreaming about his wonderful sweets tonight.

He felt a pair of strong arms wrap around him and he instinctively snuggled in closer to get more of the comforting warmth, taking in the familiar musky scent. He felt another presence behind him as the bed sunk a bit. A sleepy smile spread across his face.

"G' night, Reborn, Kyoya..."

A/N Haha, if there are any inconstancies or choppy transitions, I apologize!

Again, this is yaoi. If you're not comfortable, then I suggest that you turn back.

The story will get darker and more serious over time 'cause that's how I roll. XD

If Tsuna and Naruto seems OP, I apologize for my poor portrayal. Their abilities will be clearer as the story moves along. They'll be strong though. Keke.

Hopefully you guys enjoyed it. Please leave a review if you can!

Thank you!
