"I'm just saying, was it really necessary to have your dad repaint the entire school back to orange? That redhead kid did not look amused at all." Kiba said as he got out of the car. "I swear he kept looking at me like everything was my fault."

"Kiba, of course he looked mad— he had no eyebrows!" I reminded him. "Plus, he was probably mad about Sai. Who shows up to a tour dressed like that?" I pointed to the vandalized shirt Sai wore.

"What?" He asked, looking down at the sleeveless shirt. "Your dad liked it." He pointed out, walking over and throwing his arm around my shoulders. And it was true, dad did in fact, like the sleeveless shirt Sai wore. Oddly.  "Plus, he did say it was going to be hot."

Once again, true. Suna High wasn't exactly like Konoha with its perfect weather and fertile soil. No. That shit was in the desert, where you look whichever way you wanted and still have sand blow on your face when you least expect it. Those kids must have built up a resistance to it because while the entire student body wore nicely fitted uniforms with no signs of sand anywhere, I'm pretty sure Kiba and I had handful of sand up our ass and damn it, it was uncomfortable!

"You know, I think I liked it." Sai said, referring back to the school tour. "That redhead didn't look so mean, either."

"Sai, that's Neji's—"

"I'm just saying." Sai interrupted. "But that doesn't mean I'm going to go after him. Not when I have my little Naru here."

I groaned, walking side by side with Sai and Kiba as we walked to the entrance of Konoha High. Even after the tour, Dad had claimed he had business to go off to and Iruka was at work. Seeing how it was, he had no choice but to send us all back to school that way at least Stupid Kakashi would look after us.

"Naruto! Boss!" I heard a chorus shout. God damn it. Looking over towards a hallway, just as suspected, there was an entire group of guys all piling over each other to get to us. "We heard you were transferring!" One of them shouted. "Is it true?"

Wow, you go on a tour once and now everyone believes you're moving away.

"No, I'm no-"

"We are." Kiba teased them, he wore that smug grin of his as they all broke to pieces by the made up lie. "Looks like you guys won't have anyone to worship anymore, ha!"

"Pay no attention to this cretin." Sai stepped up, walking over to pat his fallen men on the shoulder. "We aren't transferring." He announced, rubbing a certain guy's back in circle motions while throwing either Kiba or I a wink. Suddenly the broken glued themselves back together and everything was rainbows and sunshine.

How annoying, thank mom and dad I'm nothing like that.

"Yet." Kiba added, shattering the poor souls again and sticking his tongue out at Sai.

"So we're going to have to elect a new leader after all!" Someone shouted from all the way in the back.

"New leader?" Sai asked, stopping all motion and raising an eyebrow. Ladies and gentlemen, you're witnessing chaos in the making. "Why would you elect a new leader?"

This is my favorite part.

"Well, seeing as you were useless in the beginning, you'll be even useless now that you're transferring." The one in the back spoke up. Ouch.

"Yeah! If you can't even keep Naruto from transferring, then what good are you?!" Double ouch.

"Why you little-"

"Oh? What's this?" The entire group confronted Sai. "You threatening us, boss?" Sai could only keep his pretty little mouth shut. "You dare lay a hand on us, huh?!"
