Disclaimer: This is my first attempt at a Naruto-gang-going-to-high-school fic. So please tell me the improvements that are needed if there are any.

Ch.1

BEEP BEEP BEEP BE-

A hand shot out from under dark orange blankets and grabbed the cell phone that was making the awful noise. A head soon followed and drowsy eyes looked at the number on the screen. He groaned, flipping it open and putting it by his ear.

" 'lo?" he asked.

"About darn time! You do know you missed the meeting, don't you?!"

He shot out of bed.

"I what?!" he demanded.

"You missed the meeting, dumbass!"

"Damn it! I set the time and date and I don't even s how!"

"Tell me about it! You really are acting like a dumb…"

"Finish that and die." Came the threatening voice. The other person shut up.

"Oh. School starts in five minutes, by the way." Came the sly comeback before the line went dead.

"Kiba! How dare you hang up on me!"

'Bet he was lying.' He looked at the clock, '…or not…'

Instead of cursing up a storm like he felt like doing, he quickly got dressed in the standard uniform he switched up a bit, brushed his teeth, washed his face, ate a quick breakfast, and grabbed his dull orange backpack before bolting out the door. (locking it, of course)

Kiba was smirking as he hung up on Naruto. Their friends, Shino, Hinata, Neji, Shikamaru, Chouji, and Haku stared at him.

"Why did you hang up on him?" Neji asked. Kiba leaned back in his chair and looked at him.

"Because he would have wasted even more time yelling at me. It's the first day of school and he said he didn't want to be late." Kiba shrugged. (A/N by the way, they sit at tables – two to a table. Neji is sitting at the table to Kiba's left with Hinata, Shino and Haku are at the table behind Kiba, and Shikamaru and Chouji sit in front of him. Naruto sits with Kiba. Their tables are located in the back by the window.)

"Man, it's going to be so troublesome when he gets here." Shikamaru sighed, laying his head on his desk over his crossed arms as the bell rang.

"It's a good thing we have Kakashi-sensei first period."

"Y-yes, because t-then Naruto won't be l-late." She said.

"Yes, that's true." Haku said. Shino merely nodded. Shikamaru lifted his head.

"Oh yeah, did you guys hear about the new transfer kid coming tomorrow?" he asked. Everyone but Neji and Hinata shook their heads. He raised an eyebrow at them, silently telling them to explain.

"Our uncle told us. Apparently it's the son of one of uncle's business rivals. An Uchiha." Neji explained. Everyone but Kiba and Shino understood why Neji's voice sounded grave.

"An Uchiha, huh?" Kiba repeated, then snorted, "Bet Naruto will think this is going to be an interesting puzzle to be solved."

They nodded in agreement as the door slammed open and an irate Naruto and pleased Kakashi walked in. Naruto stomped his way through the throng of students wondering to their seats, and threw his bag on the table, practically throwing himself into his chair as he glared at Kakashi, who merely smiled back. His blue eyes narrowed dangerously. Kiba slapped him on the back, gaining his attention.

"Hear about the new student coming in tomorrow?"

Naruto blinked, his anger disappearing almost immediately.

"New kid?" he asked, "Who?"

"Supposedly an Uchiha."

Naruto tensed, face going blank for a second before a smile took over.

"An Uchiha, huh? This'll be a fun one to solve." He said, swiftly dodging and catching the thick text book Kakashi threw at him. He turned around and glared at him.

"What the hell was that for?!" he yelled, gaining half the classes attention. He, of course, ignored them, opting to instead glare at the smiling Kakashi.

"You weren't paying attention." He said. Naruto faulted.

"So what?!"

"Unless you want to fail this class…"

"What does it matter if I pass or fail? It's not like anyone is going to care." Naruto interrupted. Kakashi sighed sadly before giving up. The only classes that he knew of that Naruto was actually passing were PE and Home Ec.

Neji nudged Naruto.

"Hey, listen to this." He said, connecting his earphones to his cell phone and opening the most recent message. Naruto put the piece to his ear and listened. The others watched silently, awaiting orders and ignoring the looks from the other students and Kakashi, who decided to leave the group alone and focus on the rest of the class.

"Leaf, we, the Mist gang, challenges you to a battle. If you are brave enough to fight us, meet us at the deserted field behind the dump."

'Looks as though this Mist isn't very smart.'

'You got that right. Haven't they heard of us? I mean, come one, we're the strongest gang in Japan, next to Akatsuki and Sand.'

'That is true. They must be very idiotic…or mental…to not know of your strength. Are you going?'

'Yeah. To teach them a lesson.'

"Naruto took the headphones off and looked at Neji, nodding twice. Neji nodded once in return and started texting the caller from Mist. The other's looked at them, eyebrows raised in silent questioning.

"I'll tell you later." Was Naruto's answer. They nodded and went back to work.

"I'm telling you, I don't know what to do with him anymore." Kakashi whined in the teacher's lounge. Iruka sighed and patted his head.

"It's alright. You'll get through to him eventually. He's just having a hard time right now. After all, it is close to his parents…"

"I know." Kakashi loudly interrupted, then continued softly, "I know."

'It's strange, isn't it, how well he's doing my class and in Gai's class. He's so well-behaved and he listen's to every word we say."

Kakashi sighed.

"That is because you are like his brother and he's scared of Gai and Anko."

Iruka sighed.

"That's true." He said, then blanched when he saw the husband and wife coming towards them. Anko smirked.

"We heard our names and decided to see what was going on." She said.

"THAT IS RIGHT! PLEASE TELL US THE MEANING OF WHY OUR NAMES WER EMENTIONED!!" Gai said.

Kakashi and Iruka were starting to tire out already, and the two had just arrived.

"We were talking about Naruto." Kakashi said, summing everything up in one sentence. Anko's face broke out into an evil grin and Gai smiled brightly.

"My favorite person to torture!" she said gleefully.

"MY PRIZED STUDENT!!" Gai paused, "NEXT TO OUR SONE, LEE!!" he yelled even louder. Anko smiled with pride at the mention of her son, face going dreamy.

"My beautiful son! So much like his father!" she hugged Gai tightly, and he hugged back, shouting "OUR BEAUTIFUL SON!!"

Kakashi and Iruka made a quick escape while the two were distracted.

The day passed quickly, and the Leaf gang were waiting for the final bell scheduled to ring in five minutes. Naruto and the others were standing huddled together a the back door, farthest away from the teacher, in order for Naruto to tell them about the message. They could tell that after he heard it, he was having a mental conversation with his 'inner self'.

"So what was the message, Naruto?" Haku asked.

"Some gang called Mist is challenging us." He said, leaning against the door with his hands in his pockets.

"Well? Are we going to show them how stupid they are for challenging us?" Kiba asked, hitting his palm and smirking. Naruto smirked and nodded.

"Yeah. We are. We need to teach them who's the strongest in Japan." He said. The others nodded.

"Where a-are we meeting?" Hinata asked.

"In an abandoned field behind the dump."

Neji's phone rang and Jiraiya, their theater teacher, looked up from his writing.

"Turn it off, Hyuuga-san." He said.

"Yes, sir." Neji said, pulling it out. Chouji, Shikamaru, and Kiba crowded in front of him, talking loudly about computer companies which quickly turned into an actual heated argument. Naruto listened in on the one sided conversation.

"Yes, he'll be there," Neji was saying, pausing for an answer, "What time?...No, that's fine…I assure you, he will….Alright…Good bye." Neji sighed and put his phone away, not bothering to turn it off like Jiraiya had instructed.

"Who was it?" Naruto asked. The others stopped bickering long enough to hear the answer.

"A member of Mist asking if we, more specifically Naruto, would be there."

"What time?" Haku asked.

"Five thirty."

Naruto nodded.

"Right then. Bell rings in about 5 seconds or so…see ya, pervy sensei!" Naruto bolted out the door, ignoring the angry shouts that were interrupted by the bell as the gang followed after him.

"So guys? Are you ready to beat some knowledge into some idiotic Mist members??" Naruto shouted over his shoulder. A shout of agreement followed his question as they ran out the door, none of them noticing the onyx eyes that followed them from the main office door.
