Naruto woke up to a beeping sound. one that he could recognise in any interdimentional plane. mankind's worst enemies: the hated monday-morning alarm clock.

the weekend was relatively calm. at least if you didn't include teaching Naruto the many things this world had to offer. Tai taught Naruto the conveniences of cars, trains and airplanes and who the weird men in the blue uniforms were. of course Naruto wanted to test himself against the law-enforcement of this world, so he started making hand-seals for a light doton jutsu. Tai saw this just in time, and tackled Naruto into a nearby alley, and bopped the cyclops shinobi on the head. afterwards they went home, where Kari was just about finished making dinner.

over the weekend Tai managed to enroll Naruto at odaiba-high as a freshman. they got Naruto one of Tai's old puke-green uniforms, and though a bit tight around the arms, and chest area, it fit rather well, as long as Naruto didn't flex his muscles too much. (A/N. whaddya expect. compared to Tai, Naruto is ripped.) however Naruto refused to wear them, as he only wanted clothes that would give him enough movement space, so he settled with his own coat over the uniform's blouse, which held the school's emblem on it.

"Naruto-san, Kari-chan. wake up, or you'll be late for school." he heard Tai yell from the kitchen." Naruto pulled the plug of the alarm clock, silencing it, and got up. he stared into the mirror. stared into the eye that was once his best friend's and smiled. "at least you're reunited with the rest, Sasuke..." he put his jacket on, and pulled his bandanna over his left eye. his, and jiraya's old hitai-ate were strapped around his shoulders, and he had medical tape covering his fore arms, and thus the storage seals that were carved into his wrists. inside the seals, he held Jiraya's scroll, Tenten's scroll, Madara's scyte which he had looted in the midst of the war, and Sasuke's katana. he had a tattooed seal in his neck that held Zabuza's zanbatou, samehada and the other five swords of the mist. he hoisted a backpack, and went to the kitchen for breakfast.

"so... you're actually going to wear that jacket to school huh?" Tai asked Naruto before taking a sip from his coffee. Naruto nodded, and took a seat next to Kari, who was quietly nibbling on some toast. Tai shrugged, and stood up. he grabbed his bag. walking to the front door, he turned around.

"I have to get to my college. I'll be home around six. now eat your breakfast, and go to school. see ya tonight guys." Naruto, and Kari both waved to Tai, signifying their greeting as they both had toast in their mouths. Tai chuckled, and went to his university.

Naruto and Kari both enjoyed the comfortable silence as they ate. when they were done, they noticed it wasn't time to go just yet, so they settled with watching tv for a short while. over the weekend, Kari had asked Naruto a lot about the elemental nations, and was appalled about the idea of children killing each other from an early age, just to gain power and respect.

flashback no jutsu!

"how could they just force you to stuff like that?!" Kari exclaimed. Naruto had just told her about Sasuke's retrieval mission, and thus, how Naruto was forced to fight his best friend to the death.

Naruto sighed. "it was a dog-eat-dog world. either you killed as a shinobi, or you would die on your first C-rank mission. if you werent prepared to kill, you died. it was a simple, yet brutal lifestyle." he shrugged.

Kari's eyes went wide at Naruto's statement.

"how can you speak of something as horrible as that, so casually." she whispered, shocked.

Naruto gritted his teeth. he took his shirt off, and dispelled the genjutsu covering his body. on his back and shoulders, were countless scars that looked like they were carved in by a knife. on his left forearm there were burn-scars, not to mention that he still had the huge scar from the time sasuke rammed a chidori into his lung. on his right upper arm, there were scars that formed the text demon scum. carved in by a heated kunai.

"because it was the normal way of business then. of course it was hard at first, believe me, I puked my guts out on my first kill, but years of training, getting hunted down by an insane fuck, hunting down my best friend and a lot of deaths of people close to me, have hardened my will. I still dislike killing, but if there is no other way, and someone is threatening those who are close to me, I WILL kill without hesitation."

Naruto's serious tone caused Kari to flinch a little. however, as she looked at him, or rather his determined expression, she couldn't help but blush a little bit.

"I... see. okay then. however I don't want you to kill any innocent people. in fact I want you to avoid killing, above anything else. you got it?" Kari asked in an authoritive tone, and Naruto nodded.

flashback no jutsu, KAI!

afterwards, Naruto had shown Tai and Kari Sasuke's sharingan. he told them how he got it. Tai became ghostly white at the story of konoha twelve's deaths, while Kari had nearly cried her eyes out. Naruto had let a few tears loose as well, but told them that they were literally in a better place now, and that none of his friends would ever be forgotten. afterwards, Naruto scared the living shit out of the siblings, when he summoned the susano'o's ribcage, and set it on fire with the amaterasu. however, before the hellfire could spread, he sucked it into the kamui's pocket dimention. this cost him a little bit of chackra, but his eye hurt a little bit, so he decided to use tsukiyomi sometime else.

ding-dong...

Naruto was brought out of his musing by the ringing of the doorbell. Kari opened the front door, and Davis stepped in.

"good morning Kari-chan... hey cyclops." Naruto raised his visible eyebrow.

"what's with the nickname, motomiya-san?"

"you're covering one eye. that's why I'm calling you cyclops." Davis deadpanned while Naruto and Kari sweatdropped. 'idiot...' they both thought. this train of thought didn't last long however, because Naruto suddenly started to chuckle a bit.

"what's so funny, Naruto-kun?" Kari inquired.

"nothing... just the irony of the situation. three years ago, me and my sensei had exactly the same conversation, so now I know what he felt back then."

"and what is that feeling then?" Davis asked while raising an eyebrow.

"that you're such a big idiot that I'm going to have a lot of fun pranking your ass into the ground." Naruto chuckled with a dark, sadistic expression. a purple-black aura surrounding him, while killer intent rolled off of him in waves. this time Kari and Davis had the same thoughts.

's-scary...'

without any further ado, the three friends made their way to school. on the way, they met up with a girl who introduced herself as Jolei. she was about 17 years old, and had purple hair that reached her lower back. she wore round-frame glasses, and the same puke-green uniform as the rest. afterwards they ran into a slightly younger fifteen-year old boy with a brown bowl-cut. he introduced himself as Cody hida. his gaze was distant... even cold, but his figure of speech let Naruto simply know that that was the way, the boy was raised. polite, yet distant. he held a bamboo sword strapped to his back, which intrigued Naruto greatly.

"it seems this world does have... warriors of some sort." kurama chuckled. while Naruto nodded.

"um... uzumaki-san. why are you looking at me like that?" Cody inquired warily. Naruto quickly shook his head, and sheepishly scratched his neck.

"a-ah nothing Cody. I-I was just thinking for a bit. say... what style do you use?" Naruto saked, nudging the short boy's bamboo blade. Cody smiled, glad that at least ONE of his aquaintances was interested in the art of swordfighting.

"I know various styles, however I prefer the basic kendo, because of it's flexibility." Naruto nodded sagely as they entered the school grounds.

"yes, yes. sticking with the basics is always good. many great swordmasters tended to stick to the basic kata's. I'm surprised that you do that though, seeing as many practitioners of the art tend to use more difficult styles, simply because it looks cool. I myself did that in the beginning too." this last statement caused Cody to raise an eyebrow.

"you do kendo?"

"I do kendo, iaido, and a relatively unknown style of kenjutsu."

"what's kenjutsu?" Cody asked, quite excitedly for as far as Cody could get excited. to which Naruto grinned.

'damn, this kid's about as excited as mom was when she perfected the red death- kenjutsu style.' Naruto thought amusedly.

"no shit, the kitten's practically drooling right now." matatabi grumbled from her cage.

"kenjutsu is the collective name for weaponary arts, where I come from. I specialized my training in zanbatou's chokuto's and kunai. my style was developed by my own mother before she passed away. it's called the red death."

Cody flinched a bit.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't know your mother died." however Naruto just smiled.

"don't be. you didn't know, so you couldn't help it. I personally like to believe that my mother is together with my father in a better place now. just like my sensei."

somewhere in heaven.

minato, kushina, tsunade, fukasaku, shima, jiraya, sarutobi, kakashi, yamato, gai, killer bee and iruka sat around a table, sipping tea, until...

ACHOO!

... all of them sneezed at the same time.

'weird...' was their collective thought.

back in odaiba.

"so... you're an..." Jolei hesitated to finish her scentence.

"orphan. yup. as lonely as someone could get, however, I'm already used to it, so I don't mind if people ask about them, as long as they don't insult them." Naruto spoke in a tone as if he were talking about the weather. both Jolei and Cody sweatdropped at Naruto's carefree additude.

"a-anyway, Naruto-san. whould you like to spar together sometime?" Naruto grinned at the thought of sparring with the short boy. even though the people in this world were relatively weak, it would be better than nothing, so he nodded. "how about after school. is there any place we can use?"

Cody thought for a bit before nodding. "just ask the gym teacher. he'll probably let you use the dojo for a bit."

"HEY! Kari-CHAN!" they heard a yell behind them. turning around, they saw a blonde boy with a fisherman's hat, and a standard uniform, skating towards them. sporting a nasty smirk, he stepped, and kicked his board up. aiming it at Davis' face, he jumped. in a reflex, Naruto jumped in front of Davis, and seemingly out of nowhere (coughsummoningsealcough), held a bokuto. lifting it up, he blocked both the board, and the blond on top of it. the former stopping directly, but the latter, due to the momentum, flew over the top of Naruto's head onto the concrete.

"owowowow... what hit me?" the blond boy muttered. Naruto grabbing him by the back of his jacket, pulled him onto his feet. Naruto smiled broadly at the newcomer. "that'd be me, sorry 'bout that!" he moved his head closer to the boy's ear.

"try to pull something like that again, and I'll kill you." he whispered. to emphasize his point, he released a tiny fraction of killer intent. not stopping with the KI, he smiled thinly.

"the name's Naruto uzumaki. nice to meet you." the last bit of that sentence, was overflowing with KI. smirking like a madman, he stuck his hand out. trembling slightly, the boy took the hand.

"my name is takeru takaishi, I'm Kari's destined boyfriend. you can call me TK." Davis looked annoyed at the second statement, while Jolei looked sadly at Davis. no normal human would've noticed the subtle facial changes, but after three years of ANBU level training, Naruto wasn't your average person. smirking lightly, he heard snickering inside his mind.

'saiken-san? you were watching?' Naruto inquired the six tailed slug.

"of course youngling. I love romance."

'oh? never expected that from you... no offence.'

"none taken. but yes I do. there's nothing more beautiful then young unbudded love. this will certainly be interesting for you... don't you think, my host?"

Naruto felt his cheeks heat up, and quickly shook his head.

'no idea what you're talking about. don't get any funny idea's, you stupid slime-ball!'

saiken merely snickered, while fading back into Naruto's subconcious.

'damn slug... what could she mean with that?'

"Naruto-san? are you okay? you're a bit red." Cody inquired. Naruto flinched, before turning to them in a robotic fashion.

"n-no, of course not! I'm fine, let's just go to school..." Kari gave an amused giggle, before they walked into the large grey building.

'yippee-kai-motherfucking-yay...' Naruto thought unimpressed. 'another four fucking years of studying.' he sighed deeply. Cody, Jolei and TK all went upstairs, as Naruto, Kari and Davis had PE the first two hours.

"so... what're we gonna do during PE? sparring? running around the school?" Naruto inquired enthousiastically. both Kari, and Davis nodded thei heads as Davis' eyes were sparkling.

"no my friend... we are going to play the most beautiful game in existance... FOOTBALL!" as Davis enthousiastically explained the rules, the teacher announced the news that Naruto would be joining their class for the rest of the year.

"oi, uzumaki!" the teacher called for the young man. Naruto slightly bowed for the teacher. "yes sensei?"

"do you have any gym uniforms?" Naruto sweatdropped at the question. 'crap... I KNEW I forgot something today...'

"no sir... I forgot. I could just participate in my slacks though." he replied in a carefree expression. the teacher nodded, and took both Naruto's jacket, and his blouse. he was slightly impressed by the former shinobi's build, while the boy's became slightly jealous, and the girls all slightly tinted red. without shirt, they could see every muscle in his torso, and arms. he was by no means bulky, but at least more muscled then all of the other guys. a well defined chest, a six-pack that looked like it was sculpted by motherfucking angels, broad shoulders, and powerful looking arms. the thing that really stood out though, was the storage seal tattooed in his neck.

"whoa! a tattoo! cool..." someone muttered in the crowd. Naruto shook his head, and grimaced thinly.

"uzumaki. could you give me your headband too?" the teacher inquired. Naruto shook his head. "I'm hetrochromatic, so I prefer to keep one eye hidden as much as possible. that way, I can't freak anyone out." the teacher nodded in understanding, and called the match. Naruto decided to be goalie. while Davis went up front and Kari sat on the bench to cheer both of them on.

(I am too lazy, and I don't like football, so I won't write the entire scene.)

the game ended 3-0 for Davis' and Naruto's side. and the class was to say the least impressed by Naruto's reflexes. one by one the guys ran past the blond boy, and high-fived him while passing. Davis came up to him with a huge smile on his face. the two bumped fists.

"you're allright in my book, dude." Davis said, still sporting a shit eating grin. Kari huffed amusedly at Davis' antics, and told them to hurry up.

three hours later: school dojo.

Naruto and Cody both stood across each other on the tatami mats. Cody sporting a traditional kendo armor and a bamboo blade, while Naruto simply pulled his jacket and blouse off again. however, he switched his shoes for a pair of wooden geta with a steel plate unter the soles. he grabbed one of the bamboo blades hanging from the wall. neither of them saying anything as they both went into their respective stances. Cody's was a traditional kendo stance: right foot in front of the left, shoulders relaxed, and the sword upwards in front of him. Naruto, however. took the blade in a reverse grip behind him. his empty hand in front of him, in a slight crouching position. an unusually serious expression on his face as the two stared at each other in silence. TK was sitting next to Kari, while Davis sat on her other side. next to him Jolei leaned to the wall.

as if an unspoken command was given, both sparring partners shot forward. Cody struck first with a downward strike. Naruto brought his left leg up, and blocked with his geta. using the heel of the wooden shoe, he kicked the sword slightly to the side as he made a horizontal spin. he landed on his right foot, still spinning in crouching position, he kept his left leg stuck out, in an attempt to leg-sweep Cody. the kendoist, however jumped over his leg, and struck with a right side thrust aiming for Naruto's neck. before he could connect however, Naruto stuck out his empty hand, catching Cody's wrist in mid strike. he threw the boy over his shoulder, before turning around to quickly strike him in the head, neck and chest.

Cody, glad that he was wearing the armor, couldn't believe the speed, flexibility and reflexes of the blond, hetrochromatic boy. he chuckled as Naruto stuck his hand out to help him up. when he got up, TK erupted in a full-blown laugh.

"AHAHAHAH! shorty-Cody got his ass kicked! LOSER!" Naruto stared at Cody with sympathy in his eye. he too knew how it was to be the shortest of the group. he bowed deeply to the boy, while speaking in a honourable tone.

"It was an honour to spar with you. I had a lot of fun, Cody hida-dono!" to say that Cody was shocked, was quite the understatement.

"N-Naruto-san! you shouldn't bow to me! I'm the one that lost... I should be the one bowing to you. however... next time, I won't lose to you... sempai!"

"YEAH RIGHT, YOU? DEFEAT HIM? IMPOSSIBLE!" TK roared in laughter. "oi Naruto. why are you bowing to that loser, huh? you should just-"

before he could finish, three kunai embedded themselves in the wall about an inch away from his head. Naruto stood in the middle of the room, with one hand extended, and a deadly glare on his face.

"if you ever talk about my equals like that... I will aim correctly, got it? TJ?"

TK nodded trembling heavily, not even beginning about his misspelled name.

everyone left the room to head home. TK left behind. he pulled the three kunai out of the wall while thinking.

'just you wait... uzumaki Naruto...'
