Re; Naruto

Arcade

Naruto slumped on his bed, Shino sitting at his desk quietly as the blond moaned in despair into his pillow. As the quiet boy watched his blond friend cry tears of regret, he thought back on how it developed into this.

Iruka declared that they need to nominate their class representatives. It was a little late but he unfortunately had to push it back for technical reasons on the staff. So that morning everyone had placed their vote for their Class Rep and somehow or other, Naruto ended up top of the list with Hinata coming second, making her his Vice Rep. Naruto's regret was that he had stayed up late last night and ended up sleeping in class. By the time he was shaken awake, it was too late and Iruka had already settled it all in record.

Knowing how much Naruto disliked paperwork and ran off the moment the word 'council' slip through someone's lips, his reaction was understandable (and hilarious).

Naruto moaned into his pillow, "Why me?!"

Shino realized that as much as he was perceptive to individual needs, Naruto was dumb when it came to the effect he has on people. He has been running around lending hands and being so open and friendly that even though he wasn't swarmed by others like Hinata, his classmates actually respect him. That and they find it funny to dump all paperwork on the guy that had made it really clear from his behavior that he disliked paperwork.

Shino also overheard the girls talking about shipping Hinata and Naruto together. They are both such polar opposite that seeing them together somehow warmed their cold, cruel hearts. Besides, Naruto might think he's slick but the fact remained that he blushed, like a whole lot, whenever Hinata's near. And from how Hinata kept glancing at him, it was clear she found him attractive. Shino supposed throwing Naruto under the bus called Student Council was helping connecting the two together somehow in their crazy heads.

While Shino pulled out his homework to finish them so he can be free on the weekend, Naruto continued to roll around on his bed sobbing in utter misery.

Naruto loved his job as Hokage. Truly he does. But does he miss the hell scape called paperwork and the harpies called council? No he does not. Being buried under a mountain of paper once was enough for the blond. But now...he's stuck with a different sort of paperwork. Sure the anime and other media in Japan depicted the Student Council as some prestigious and powerful position that other students envied. But reality wasn't as exciting. It's just paperwork. It's just a scene where you stack, arrange, copy, and organize paperwork for other people.

It's just that despite the bonus it will bring the students for future prospect.

Naruto sobbed, "I hate paperwork...can I please burn them all?"

Shino answered in a deadpan, "You'll just end up ruining your whole life if you did that,"

Minato looked up from where he was planning the next season's dance class schedule when he heard Naruto wailing about paperwork. His heart went out to the boy. Having had to fill in all those forms while trying to settle in Japan, Minato too found a great distaste in paperwork.

That weekend Naruto decided to run around the town. He's not in Tokyo but the town has a mall and other entertainment places. He casually strolled with his rollerblades, being careful to not crash into people. He has been so busy getting used to Japan with Shino's help that it had been two months since he last went out to do his own thing.

His dad and him are settling in nicely. Minato has gotten used to introducing himself with his Japanese name. School has been a breeze so far...minus the exam week. He didn't know why their class was so late at choosing their representative but it seemed that his classmates hated him enough to throw him to the gallows. Neji called him dramatic but Naruto is sincerely sick of paperwork.
