Prologue

Naruto grinned widely and picked up his chopsticks. This was his twelfth bowl of ramen (mind you, he's only been awake for five minutes), and even though he was practically full, he was determined to eat it.

He was Naruto, after all.

As he slurped the delicious noodles, he glanced out of his window at the streets below. Huh. Those looked like health inspection trucks. Shikamaru's dad must have gotten drunk again. Naruto shrugged it off; it wasn't like it concerned him. He went back to his noodles.

"HEY! OPEN THE DOOR!"

"Huh?" Naruto turned. Someone was banging on his door. "Who's there?"

"Konoha Village Health Inspection."

"Whoops." Naruto did a five-second clean up of all the ramen containers, then opened the door. Two white bugs with huge, black, bulging eyes stood in his doorway. "ARGH! WE'RE BEING OVER-RUN BY INSECTS!"

"No," one of the bugs snapped. "We've had a complaint about this residence and we need to do an inspection."

"Oh." Naruto stepped aside, allowing them access to his house.

One hour later

Naruto sat at his table, his head propped up on his hands, half-asleep. Every so often, he heard the bug-people-who-claimed-to-be-health-inspectors say something, but he didn't really catch on.

THUD.

"I AM NOT ASLEEP, SASUKE!" Naruto shouted, jumping up.

The two bug-people-who-claimed-to-be-health-inspectors starred at him.

"Sorry." Naruto sat down, looking at the table. His eyes widened. Before him was what looked like either a very small science fair, or an exhibit of his bathroom? "Whoa, are you guys doing a dirt exhibiting?"

"No. This is a small sample of the dirt we found around your apartment," one of the bugs answered.

Naruto was still a little shocked that there were bugs that big that could talk.

"Well, that's interesting," he mumbled, about to go to sleep again.

"Furthermore," the bug guy said loudly, calling Naruto's attention again. "The Cup Noodles containers, which you seemed to be obsessed with, once had noodles still lodged on the sides, and have therefore grown into a bacteria which is quite harmful to mankind."

"Cool!"

"No, Uzamaki Naruto, it is not 'cool.'"

"...Why?"

"We will have to disinfect this entire apartment in order to get rid of the bacteria."

"...Ok, yeah, and I'm staying where?" It actually registered in Naruto's head that he couldn't be in the house while it was disinfected! (LOUD APPLAUSE!)

"We'll leave that to you. The disinfections will take up to two weeks."

"TWO WEEKS?!" Naruto howled.

"That's right. We suggest you pack all of your valuable belongings and clothes so they do not get harmed."

The Next day (a/n: all of these time difference notices are said with the same voice that's used in Spongebob.)

Naruto sighed angrily, dragging his feet. He'd asked everyone he knew if he could stay over his or her house for two weeks. Not even Iruka-sensei would let him, seeing as Iruka was away on vacation. So far, no one had said yes.

"Where are you going?" said a bone-chilling voice. "Uzamaki Naruto."

Naruto turned. "G-Gaara?" He paused.

The red-haired, gourd-laden sand-nin nodded from where he was leaning casually up against an alleyway.

"My house is getting disinfected and no one will let me stay with them for two weeks," Naruto explained.

Gaara looked at him for a moment. "So stay with me."

"Eh? I can't leave the village I don't have—"

"Not in the Sand Village," Gaara said coldly. "We're renting an apartment here."

"Oh ... Cool!" Naruto ran after Gaara, who started walking away.

A/N: So, Naruto is invited to stay with Gaara of the Sand and his siblings. Things seem innocent enough, but you never know what happens what Naruto gets bored! Up next: Criminal Masterminds!
