Previously...

I hurried to get finished in the shower. Jumping out in no time. I peeked outside, watching for the other occupant. Rushing to get my new clothes for bed. The lights outside of the bath room were out and it wasn't hard to tell he had retreated to his bed. Allowing me the decency to gather my story, so I could lie better tomorrow. I only gave a slight sigh before changing. Hurrying to get my hair as dry as I could with a towel before turning the bathroom light off. Using the lights from the window and memory of the layout to find it.

I instantly slipped into bed and pulled the covers up over my chin.

Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Present...

I slowly moved the covers from my body, watching cautiously for any signs of Kakashi awakening. My heart raced slightly, as I stood from where I was only moments ago sleeping.

I inched my way towards my clothes without a sound. I lived with Kakashi long enough to know how light of a sleeper he was. I also knew he most likely knew I was up. However, until he called me out on it, I wasn't going to speak.

I shuffled out of my night clothes hastily before replacing them with semi tight black ninja pants, ankle wrap, a orange tank top, a black jacket that's hood was orange on the inside and was unzipped, and more wrap on my wrist. I left the orange jump suit to fester in the trash where it belongs as I grabbed my weapons pouch, attaching it in the correct places. I quickly did up my headband on my head before rushing out the door. Heading quickly to the school, knowing full well that Kakashi would be close behind.

I avoided the main roads, as I took to the roofs of the buildings. Attempting to stay out of sight of prying eyes. I knew my sudden appearance change would through a few curious looks my way and I wasn't ready for attention.

As soon as I arrived, I quietly made my way into the building. Maneuvering around others as I went in attempt to make myself go unnoticed.

T H I R D | P.O.V

Naruto walked briskly through the halls of the ninja academy. Side stepping anyone who didn't move or simply wasn't paying attention. He avoid direct contact with anyone who came closer, completely going unnoticed by those around him. He hummed in satisfaction, enjoying the small taste of solitude that came with his walk. Knowing he'd have to interact with people sooner or later today. Naruto frowned at the thought of having to actually talk to another human being. His eyebrow twitching slightly in realization of the dilemma.

He knew how the teams would go. The Hokage would definitely meddle in the process, resulting in Naruto being in the care of Kakashi. Like any other occasion in his life. From training, to his first mission and even now to repeat some of those task as a student in the village. The thought annoyed him more that he'd have to go through all of this again, more than having to see Kakashi's terrifying temper.

He gradually made his way into the classroom where he promptly took his seat on the end. Leaving the middle seat open. Sasuke and Naruto looked at one another for a moment before glancing towards the front of the room. After a few minutes of staring absentmindedly into the abyss, Naruto put his head down. Using his arms to block out any unwelcome light and going into deep thought.

"The Uchiha is staring"

"It's fine. He's probably curious. What would happen if the idiot suddenly shows up with totally different clothes, a new aura surrounding him and a completely different attitude? Frankly, I'd be worried if he didn't stare or gawk a little. As long as he doesn't bother me."

Different sounds filtered into the room, as more people began to arrive. The atmosphere was practically calm and full of excitement. It wasn't until the sound of yelling female voices entered Narutos ears did he cringe away in distaste.

"SASUKE!! Move it Naruto!" Sakura shouted as she began to yank at this jacket to get him out of the way. The feeling of irritation gradually building up as he flexed his body muscles in different places to stay planted to his seat. He looked up tiredly at t he pink haired shinobi. Completely un-phased by her antics.

"Listen. There is a perfectly good seat next to him. No need to mess with me, I didn't do anything to you. So I'd appreciate it if you left me alone." He said with narrowed eyes and as calmly as possible. Allowing small traces of malice to seep into his voice. She only stared dumbfounded before walking behind him to sit next to Sasuke in silence. The class completely in shock from the sudden tone of his voice. Unsure of what to make of the situation at hand considering no one had ever seen him talk to her, anyone really, like that. People began to mutter before taking their seats as the door opened to reveal Iruka sensei.

Naruto replaced his head in his arms before tuning out all other noise. Waiting for the specific number he knew Kakashi would be in charge of.

"Squad 7... Naruto Uzumaki " Naruto glanced up to show that he had his attention as he listened "Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha" loud cheers of excitement erupted from Sakura before she retook her seat. A pure smile of utter joy encasing her lips at the news. Naruto could only find it in himself to sigh lowly before going back to ignoring the chatter of the classroom. Even when everyone began to leave with their sensie's, Naruto only stayed with his head down. He knew Kakashi was enjoying himself as he watch from afar. Observing us for a small period of time to get a sense of who we are, well the other two anyways. He couldn't be bothered to give into his satisfaction.

"Ahh! What's taking him so long?? We've been waiting forever! Everyone has already left but we are stuck here!" Sakura complained. Naruto only tried to block out her voice as he thought of something else.

" You know. Maybe I'll just shock them. Instead of easing them into the real me, because honestly, now that I don't have to pretend anymore. I don't want to try. But that's a maybe. Messing with them is also enjoyable" Naruto said to Kurama.

"Hahah, it'd be interesting to say the least.. for now, just go with the flow. Ah. Kakashi is coming"

Naruto lifted his head and stood from his seat. Putting his hands in his pocket as he slowly made his way to the front of room. As he did, the door opened to a bright and falsely energetic teacher.

"Yo! Meet me on the rooftop in five minutes!" He happily said before disappearing. Naruto only signed in exasperation.

This was going to be a long day.

A U T H O R | Note

Look. I'm not dead. Lol. But really. It's hard to write a fanfiction when I haven't been reading many naruto ones or rewatching the anime. I usually rewatch it every summer but I didn't this past summer. I had to rewatch certain parts of the episode to be able to do this.

Also. Something is wrong with my Wattpad when it comes to this story. Literally only this story. I have no freakin clue why. I even went out and came back in. But only this chapter, non of my other ones.
