A/N: So! New Idea! I was always kind of into the idea of a Ninja University. I found Konoha 'High', and stories based on the same, which were pretty close, but not quite an 'University' or a 'College', ya'know, so I raked up my brain, and it assed out some really strange shit. I thought of putting it up, and after you've read this story, I'd like to ask ya'all something;

"See what I mean?"

Yeah, pretty creepy right? Sorry, kind of a second nature. Anyway, let's carry on, shall we?

And you ARE going to love this, I just know it. You can call it intuition.

Oh, and some parts of this story are AU [Understatement. Understatement. HUGE Understatement].

Chapter 1: New Start [Prologue]

XXXXX

Naruto Uzumaki stood in front of the Academy, open jawed. His eyes feverishly went over the notice on the 'Announcements' Board'. His posture was a little slumped, and his hands hung limp by his sides. He couldn't believe that this was happening. It couldn't be! It was just... illegal or something, pulling shit like this! It had to be!

He blinked one-time, two-times, three-times, heck, he even blinked quadruple-times, wishing for it to be another nightmare, which would just fade away if he kept blinking. But it was to no avail. No matter how many times he blinked, that... thing was still there!

What the fuck is this?

The notice was outrageous! How she'd given her approval to this, was something that kept getting at him. What had he done to deserve this? He'd been the one who'd defeated Tobi for goodness' sake! Surely she would keep him out of this? He pondered on that thought for a couple of seconds.

Yeah, she will.

Somewhat reassured by that thought, the blonde sighed anxiously, and turned to walk away. He took a few steps, but then stopped. What was that feeling, nagging at him? He slowly turned to look at the academy, and felt a sudden chill run down his spine. An omen? Probably.

He sighed again.

He needed to have a serious talk with her.

"You're included."

The words were like a slap across the blonde's face. He stared at the Godaime. The said person casually sat back on her chair, and sipped her tea. She had the tiniest hint of apprehension in her eyes, like she'd known that something like this was going to happen, all along. That killed Naruto.

"But Baa-Cha-" he started, only to be cut off by Tsunade's stern voice.

"No 'but's," said she, looking at Naruto with mild amusement. The ninja might have grown physically, but that still didn't mean that he'd stopped being the knucklehead that he was. She chuckled internally. The Uzumaki, her Gaki, was still oblivious to the complex world of the ninja. He was powerful. Oh Kami yes, he was powerful, no doubt, but the fact that he was still the world's biggest, and sweetest, idiot, still remained. And that made Tsunade feel warm inside.

Her 'grandson' was one hell of a boy.

Naruto seemed to consider the situation for a few moments, before turning to look at her again, the slightest hint of acceptance in his eyes. Tsunade held pride in that. She was one of the few ninja the blonde ever listened to, and that made her feel really happy about herself. She studied the face of the ninja for a few seconds, and watched bemusedly as he thought the situation over in his head.

"So, why are you doing this anyway?" he asked finally, looking at her like that was the only thing he needed an answer to... for then. Tsunade contemplated the blonde's expression, and after a few moments of detailed scrutiny, she sighed, giving him a reply.

"You need to develop variety."

Naruto was taken aback. He stood there dazed, as his mind processed the information he'd just received. A few moments later, after the process had been completed, albeit unsuccessfully, he frowned at the Hokage.

"Variety?"

Tsunade thought her words over in her head, before making them speech. This needed careful planning on her part, the smallest of mistakes could kick start the attention deficit Naruto suffered from. A few moments of thinking on her part transpired, and then she finally looked up at the blonde.

"You see," she began, leaning back in her chair, and joining her hands in front of her, as she looked at the Uzumaki, "Your generation is thriving with power. Especially your team, Naruto, Team Kakashi," Naruto beamed at that, giving her a small grin. The grin however, soon disappeared, when she spoke again, "However, the type of jutsu that you brats use, can broadly be classified into two categories. A-Rank and above, and exceptionally D-Rank."

Naruto seemed to consider that, trying to find something of a loophole in her words. However, he ended up with none, and was left with no choice other than that of hearing Tsunade out.

"Thus, we, the older generation of Konoha, have decided to provide you with knowledge about B-Rank, and C-Rank techniques, while helping you learn more S-Rank techniques," she watched as the face of the blonde in front of her slowly straightened in understanding, and she knew she'd hit the nail in the right place, "And that is why we're going through with this plan," Tsunade paused, letting her words sink in. After having waited for a sufficient amount of time, she gave her conclusion.

"We're starting the University Of Shinobi."

Oh, that name was just wrong.

SO WHEN I WAS WRITING THIS, IT WAS TWO O' CLOCK IN THE NIGHT OVER HERE, SO FORGIVE ME IF ITS A BIT OFF, OKAY?

THIS WAS, AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THE PROLOGUE. THE MAIN STORY STARTS THE NEXT CHAPTER ONWARDS. UPDATES MAY GET A LITTLE CHOPPY, BECAUSE I'M JOINING A BOARDING SCHOOL, WHERE THEY'VE GOT LIMITS TO USING THE NET.
