Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

There were only two there who weren't with their family besides himself. The first was a girl with lavender pupil less eyes and blue hair. She was dressed in a in a light blue shirt and tanned shorts. She seemed a bit nervous, but Naruto didn't know why. Next to her was a woman with long black hair and red eyes in the chunin uniform. In fact, Naruto remembered seeing her with the Hokage several times in the past. While he didn't know either of them, it was painfully obvious to anyone that they weren't related. The other child was also a girl. She had purple hair and was dressed in a dark brown shirt with light colored shorts. She seemed to be all alone.

After the Hokages speech the parents talked to each other for a bit while their kids got to meet each other. Upon seeing Naruto, several parents whispered to their children to stay away from him and did not state why. Others spoke harshly about the fact that he was being allowed in.

"Can you believe that the Hokage is letting them into the academy? I'm about ready to pull my son out of there because of those two."

"I know. It's bad enough that they are letting that girl attend classes with the rest of the children. I mean, with her lineage she'll end up like her grandfather. At least her parents had the right idea in taking their own lives. I never did really like them much anyways."

"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. But that demon child is much worse."

"Shh. You know the law."

Naruto stopped listening as they were being called into class. The boy followed the other students into the building and then to their class room. Once in the room he took a seat next to the boy with the fan symbol on his shirt. While waiting for his sensei to arrive, he scanned the room and noticed that he couldn't find the purple haired girl. Before he could do a second search, two chunins entered the room.

"Hello everyone," said the one with a scar on his nose in a cheery voice. "My name is Umino Iruka and I'll be your sensei until you graduate. This is my assistant Mizuki. Now let's take role." One by one he called out names and the students would reply in some way. Then, "Mitarashi Anko?"

For a moment nothing happened. Iruka was about to say something until his chunin senses picked up on an object heading towards the window. Both he and Mizuki jumped back as a black, ball shaped mass broke the window and came into the room very quickly. Then, before it hit the wall, kunai's came out of its sides and pinned it to the wall. Shortly after it hit the wall everyone could hear the sounds of a struggle going on inside if it. Iruka walked over and then, when he was close enough, pulled out a kunai of his own and cut lightly into. The purple haired girl the pooped out of the cut and looked a bit dizzy. She quickly got a hold of herself, got up, and picked up a piece of the cloth. She had a horrified look on her face, like she was going to cry.

"I (sniff) worked all night on this," she said. "It was (sniff) supposed to explode open so everyone (sniff) would remember my name." Everyone in the room sweat dropped.

"Ah, are you Mitarashi Anko by any chance?" asked Iruka. The girl looked up at him with sad puppy dog eyes.

"Hai," she said.

"Just go take your seat," said Iruka as an eye twitched. Please kami, let her be the only trouble maker. Is that too much to ask for? With that, Iruka continued calling out his students names. When he got to Naruto's, his voice turned cold and hard. Naruto, in turn, tried to answer back as cheerfully as he could which only caused Iruka to snap at him.

The rest of the day seemed to crawl by. Whenever Naruto raised his hand it was either ignored or he was told to be quiet. The other students saw this and would laugh with only a few exceptions. Later, the class was split between the boys and the girls. The boys were taken outside to do some muscle building exercises while the girls were started in flower arrangement. When they came back to the class room, they continued with the normal lessons.
