Rehab for Stupidity
Chapter One

Sometimes, having a reputation as a prankster could come to bite you in the ass.

Naruto Uzumaki was not having a good day.

“Arg! I’m friggin’ late! Why the hell didn’t you wake me up you stupid alarm clock?” Naruto yelled, jumping from bed and on towards the floor where he landed harshly on his butt. When the inorganic object wouldn’t respond, Naruto threw it out the window followed by a loud “OW!”

Naruto rushed quickly to strip and placed on his usual orange jacket and baggy pants. He grabbed his goggles and placed them over his head before grabbing a pop tart that happened to be from the previous day and out the door he went. “Not good! Iruka-sensei is going to kill me!”

And almost as of cue, Iruka sneezed. “Someone must be thinking of you, Iruka-sensei.” The browned haired man named Iruka turned to the voice. He smiled and accepted the tissue the older man offered. “It’s probably just a cold, Kakashi-sensei.” He smiled.

“Iruka-sensei! Kakashi-sensei!” The two turned back to meet with another teacher, Genma-sensei. He breathed heavily after running recklessly around the halls looking for Kakashi and Iruka, only to have found them in the teacher’s lounge. “T-There’s a fire in the chemistry lab up in the third floor. Anko-sensei and Gai-sensei are putting it out.” Iruka and Kakashi looked at one another and scattered to evacuate the students. Genma fell to the ground tired.

The alarm sounded, ringing loudly throughout the once empty halls of Konoha’s once calm and smart high school. The students, not having experience something like this, jumped from their seats, alarmed and ready. The announcement box spoke, “This is not a fire drill! Please evacuate to the nearest exit in an orderly and calm matter!” Everyone yelled, pushing and shoving each other to the exit.

A young boy with dark raven hair looked up in surprise. He turned to Tsunade, the principal of the school and gave her a questioning look. “Damn it! Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru! You guys are in charge of evacuating the kids, this is serious!” She explained, returning to the loudspeaker and attempting to calm the students from this chaotic situation.

Sasuke looked at her with total disinterest. Neji, who was also annoyed shrugged but obeyed without a word. Shikamaru sighed, mumbling how trouble it was and hurried after Neji. Sasuke was, however, not happy. ‘I’m student body president goddamn it, not the school’s servant.’ He thought, before turning to the door. But so long as the principal controlled his grades, he dared not to argue with her. She was just short tempered and not to messed around with when she had a hangover especially.

“Hurry and evacuate before you all die! We’re all going to hell!” One boy yelled. Shikamaru looked tirelessly at the wild boy. Despite his level of laziness he was one of the best security and helpers around the school. His IQ left the school speechless but his failing grades were due to sleeping all day in class. His eyes told everyone he was a normal kid with a dead end volunteer job but his actions proved to be something different. “Kiba, we don’t need goddamn freshman pissin’ their pants.” He inquired. Kiba grinned and left to the exit.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. “Proceed calmly.” He repeated over and over, trying hard not to yell at them for running like chickens with their heads cut off. Sasuke despised such behavior as did his partner Neji. Neji glared at them under his white eyes, the people who ran walked calmly as they passed him and continued to run away when they were away from his gaze. That was the thing about Hyuuga Neji. A glare could have meant death.

And last but not least…Uchiha Sasuke. One of the school’s most liked guys. And not for his body or looks either. He had money. Sasuke was the heir of the estate Uchiha, having inherited over billions of dollars from his family’s fortune. He was mysterious. Just the way girls liked him with cold heartiness on top.

Shikamaru sighed, hoping the moron who caused the whole incident would be caught. The idiot interrupted his sleep.

Meanwhile

“Not good!” Naruto yelled, glancing at the school building. He wondered how he could get inside the school without detection and almost immediately a crowd of students began to run out the building. Naruto grinned as he head for the building and while students ran out he’d run inside.

‘Must be some fire drill.’ He thought, pushing and shoving his way into the crowds. “Naruto! Where the hell are you going?” One girl asked, pushing past him. “The chemistry lab got caught on fire. You should get out while you still can!” She called, and ran. Naruto perked up at the news.

“Oh! Something exciting actually happens!” He smiled happily and moved towards the third floor.

Sasuke spotted something orange and blonde moving quickly in the halls. “Hey, moron you’re going the wrong way.” He called. The boy ignored the warning and quickly ran off before he missed anything. Sasuke sighed, ‘Whatever…the moron will be bound to get in trouble.’

Naruto looked around the room, having seen the place nearly burned out but the fire had already been put out. He scanned the room in sheer disappointment until he spotted a silver packet on the room, shining brightly. Almost calling out to him…

“Pick me up! You know you want to…” It said. The blonde stared at it in bewilderment but shrugged and did so. He examined it. Stink bomb. Flammable. Use with caution! He scratched his head and sighed. “Super amateur, must’ve been a freshman.” He mumbled. The boy began to walk back until he heard foot steps; he turned, perhaps too quickly for his own good for he was pinned to the floor with his arms tight on his back.

“Ack! Kaka-sensei!”

“You are so screwed, Naruto.”

And that’s how it all started, how one reputation could ruin a life with an act of total stupidity.

Chapter One

If it was one thing Naruto hadn’t wished to cross, it would have to be on pissed off Tsunade.

“On the first day of your freshman year you blew up the bathrooms and flooded the place! And from that year you snuck into the girl’s bathroom and laid a dead rat for a week, painted the school banner with your idiot trademark sign, blew the chances of the cheerleading squad to get to the finals, and I can’t even start with you being trouble in your sophomore year!” She yelled. Naruto looked at her with sleep in his eyes, glancing up at the one teacher who had managed to tackle him down to the floor (and perhaps break a rib).

Hatake Kakashi.

Oh how the blonde detested him. He was the school’s history teacher, known for his worth-dying-for great looks and ageless face. But Kakashi was mostly known for being a pervert. While the students did independent work he’d always have a copy of Icha Icha Paradise or Make out Paradise in his hands, smiling like an idiot behind the book.

“I didn’t do it for the millionth time, you hag!” Naruto countered. Tsunade didn’t like to be interrupted and glared daggers. Kakashi was even taken back at the sudden look on her face. She calmed herself down before she had the chance to throw down a chair out the window. Naruto gulped and sat back, silencing himself. The fact was, Tsunade was young-looking. And she was in her fifties and monster strong, so calling her old was just one huge mistake.

“I should have expelled you from the moment you did those pranks on your first year, Naruto!” She yelled. Her voice rang in the room like nails being scratched in the black board. But hey, no one calls Tsunade old and gets away with it. “You’ve been suspended countless times and had countless hours of detention! What am I going to do with you?” She sighed.

Naruto looked down. “But I’m telling you the truth!” He growled. Tsunade slammed on the wooden desk, making a slight crack. “We found the damn sink bomb in your hands!” Kakashi scratched the back of his head. ‘Just keep your mouth shut, Naruto!’ Kakashi warned mentally. Naruto did so almost as if he had read Kakashi’s thoughts.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do with you…” She mumbled almost too soft for her own. Naruto knew what was coming. She’d said it repeatedly throughout his freshman and sophomore year as a social outcast. She’d always complain about how wrong his pranks are and how they can hurt someone. But he was always praised for doing crazy things and maybe his aloneness had something to do with it. Almost trying to attract attention to himself when he wants it most.

“You can’t do anything about it because I won’t get grounded!” Naruto gloated in sheer victory. Tsunade’s face turned unsympathetic once more and growled. The two had been interrupted when a young man stepped inside, scratching his head in total embarrassment. Kakashi raised a brow. “Iruka-sensei.” He called. Iruka smiled at Kakashi.

“Kakashi-sensei, Tsunade-sensei, I’m sorry for the interruption…” He walked towards Naruto who shot him a thankful stare. Naruto looked at Tsunade and grinned. ‘Ha, Iruka-sensei always defends me!’ He thought. Iruka looked good natured, and was. Like his name implied, he was one of the nicest and gentlest. Students favored him for his gentle side but when he was pissed off it wasn’t a good thing to miss homework or go around cutting or it meant three hour lectures and hitting. He was the school’s English teacher. A good one at that.

“It’s fine. I was just about to expel Naruto!” She smirked back at Naruto who sat down silently. Iruka scratched the back of his head. “Tsunade-sensei…he’s…” She shook his head. “Suspending and detention did work for him, this was the last straw.” She announced. Iruka looked at her with shock.

“B-But!” She shook her head once more before retrieving Naruto’s file and handing them over Iruka. “He had a reputation of a ‘prankster’ a name you might recall yourself, Iruka-sensei.” She smiled, having heard how mischievous Iruka was by the precious owner of the school, Sarutobi. Iruka reddened.

“Tsunade-sensei…please…I’m sure there’s another way.” He trailed off, seeing the softened expression on her face. He sighed. Naruto looked up. “B-But Iruka-sensei…I really didn’t do it this time…” Iruka looked down.

A knock came from behind, they turned to see Sasuke Uchiha with an annoyed look on his face. Naruto looked up, scanning him. Suddenly he growled, having a major grudge against the guy. ‘That’s the jerk who called me a moron!’ He thought furiously. Sasuke glanced at him, also having remembered him from an earlier time. Naruto hated how girls worshiped the ground he walked on. It’s not like he was super handsome or anything…

He handed papers to Tsunade as he took his eyes off of Naruto. “The principal of our neighboring school wishes to speak with you.” He explained, turning to leave. Tsunade stopped him. “Where are you going? You and the others need to clean the room this idiot ruined.” She said. Tsunade loved torturing Sasuke, he just knew it.

Sasuke countered venomously. “I have a math test on the line, so now if you’ll excuse me.” He shut the door loudly. ‘Ohh…jerk. He totally got old lady Tsunade.’ Naruto grinned. Tsunade detected the grin and slapped him in the back of his head. Naruto fumed.

“I hate brats.” She mumbled, and turned to fill out papers that she had received. Iruka and Kakashi looked at her for a final decision and when none came Iruka opened his mouth to talk. He was cut off. “I’ve changed my mind.” She announced. Iruka and Kakashi looked at her in shock in unison.

“I think that Naruto needs some responsibility, and maybe then he’ll get his act together.” She explained. Naruto scratched his head in confusement, not wanting to know what kind of punishment she had in mind. “What do you have in mind?” Kakashi asked, curious. Tsunade grinned devilishly that sent shivers up Iruka, Kakashi, and Naruto’s spines.

“I decided…Naruto will join the student body government.” And with that said, Naruto fell over his chair.

Later

“Student government?”

“That’s what the old hag said…” Naruto mumbled, shoving a fresh baked hero sandwich into his mouth that had belonged to Shikamaru. Kiba grabbed the hairs from his temples and ruffled with them. “Dude, that sucks! That place is just overrun with people who act like they’ve got sticks shoved up their asses!” He shouted. Shikamaru grunted.

“Except Shika, he’s cool.” He added. The bored boy looked like he could care less of what others thought of him, and glared at Naruto before snatching back his sandwich that wasn’t so hero anymore. “It’s not that bad, just troublesome.” Shikamaru countered, biting at what was left of his sandwich. Kiba snorted. Everyone knew that not just anyone can join the student body government unless you passed every pass with a perfect score and with perfect attendance.

And Naruto happened to be the most opposite of it.

Shikamaru continued, “You just have to watch out for Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuuga Neji.” He took the last bite out of his sandwich. Naruto looked over his shoulders to take a quick glance at Sasuke. He was by far one of the most popular kids in school. Everyone loved him. Almost literally, his amount of love letters and phone calls doubled every year. But he was cold and pushed most people away. He only hung around Neji and few others.

“Hey Naruto, why’d you do something stupid like that?” Naruto looked up to see the one and only pink-haired girl. “If it isn’t Sakura and Ino! You lovely ladies have come to eat lunch with us?” Kiba grinned. Sakura smiled gently and sat in front of the boys. Naruto reddened at her presence, finding it uncomfortable to talk when she was around. Sakura Haruno just happened to be one of the pretty girls like Ino Yamanaka. But unlike Sakura, she was dating Shikamaru.

“You should be flattered! Ino and I took time away from our Sasuke to sit with you losers.” She joked. They laughed.

“Why won’t anyone believe me? I didn’t do it!” Naruto sighed, sipping at Sakura’s cold drink. Ino scoffed at him. “Because, you’re such a prankster and everyone knows this is your kind of doing.” Sakura hit the blonde in the back of his head for drinking her diet coke.

“This was something so amateurish. I wouldn’t do something lame like that,” Naruto grabbed a handful of fries from someone nearby. “Really, Naruto! Stop stealing other people’s food.” Sakura scolded. Naruto ‘hmped’ and turned to apologize.

“Hinata! I didn’t see you there…how come you didn’t say anything?” Naruto asked. Hinata blushed light pink and fiddled with her fingers before replying. “Y-You can…k-keep my food…” She said. Naruto perked up a smile, despite his distaste for shy girls, and accepted her offer.

“Anyway, when do ya start this student government shit? You promised me we’d have a game of soccer today.” Kiba mumbled. Naruto sighed. “The old hag said I start today after school. Major drag man, I’m telling you. I’ll be on time though.” He munched happily on Hinata’s fries.

“Naruto, your eating habits are nasty.” Ino pointed out. “You freaks should totally try to follow Sasuke’s example.” Both Ino and Sakura looked back and sighed dreamily at their man, Uchiha Sasuke who sat afar munching quietly at his lunch while a classmate, Rock Lee talked with him. Shikamaru rolled his eyes.

“You should follow Sasuke, Shika!” Kiba ordered mockingly. “That means no more rolling your eyes. You should grunt more like this!” Kiba tightened his knuckles together and with a cool stare he grunted almost too Sasuke-like. Sakura hit him hard of the head, sending his chin to impact the lunch table. Shikamaru grunted in his own way and mumbled how crazy girls get when someone offends their man-god. Ino glared.

“Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke…” Naruto mumbled. “The hell is so special about that guy?” He asked. If there was one thing he hated about Sasuke, it was that he was the one guy that Sakura had eyes for. And he found absolutely nothing special about him. What was so special about him other than his perfect body, smart complexity, cold and mysterious attitude, and pretty face?

Nothing!

“Well he’s pretty much everything your not, you loser.” Sakura explained. Naruto stuck out his tongue at her. Kiba recovered from the blow and rubbed his chin. “I hate girls.” He mumbled, before the bell rang. Naruto sighed, still hungry but dragged himself to his last period of class and after that, his punishment

Later

“We’ll be waitin for your sorry ass out in the field.” Kiba instructed, kicking at his soccer ball until Naruto grabbed it from him and bobbed him on the head. “No prob!” He called, before heading towards the student council office. He really didn’t know much about the people but he knew that it sucked butt if you were caught in there. That place was nothing but stuck up rich people who wanted to run the school, half the reason why they joined the student body government.

“Hey Iruka-sensei!” Naruto called. His favorite teacher turned with a handful of papers and nearly fell at his favorite student called him. “Are you part of the student body government?” He yelled enthusiastically. Iruka chuckled nervously. “No, I’m afraid not. But Kakashi-sensei is the supervisor for it. I’m sure you’ll do fine! If you need a ride home, I’ll drive you after I get a few things done.”

Naruto perked up once more, grateful at his favorite teacher of not having to walk home. “Sure! Thanks sensei!” He thanked and head off towards Tsunade’s office. Iruka watched from behind and sighed. ‘I hope he does well…’

“You’re late.” Tsunade said, eyeing the blonde. Naruto chuckled nervously as he sat in front of her desk for the second time today. “You’re lucky I didn’t expel you,” she growled, half disappointed that she wasn’t. But alas, she was close with her employers and close to Umino Iruka, and seeing that he cared for Naruto…well she never saw a depressed Iruka and planned on never seeing one. And also, she thought how life would be without the loud mouth in the school.

That meant no more detention giving, which she enjoyed most.

“So what changed your mind you old hag?” He asked bluntly. Tsunade was an adult. And being an adult meant she had to control her emotions and not level her maturity with a boy with an IQ similar to his average. She was the principal so she had authority over everyone. She was mature…she was calm…

“You little brat! I should just send you to jail!” Tsunade yelled, suddenly forgetting her status. Naruto stood to counter until there was a knock at the door. Tsunade glared at the pest and shouted for the person to proceed. “I brought the student permanent record you asked.” The boy mumbled unhappily, remembering in how hard it was to retrieve them. If only the secretary wasn’t so interested in little boys then it might have been a little quicker and easier.

“Sasuke! Just the young man I wanted to see.” Tsunade replied happily, shifting from her angry to fake cheery mood. Sasuke knew it usually meant that she was either going to ask for a favor or just happened to overdose on sake. He handed her the file and eyed her suspiciously.

“Naruto!” She yelled, getting his full attention by banging on her desk loudly. Naruto gulped and then glanced at Sasuke. He knew the boy and didn’t like him so much. After all, Sakura was totally into him which made him somewhat of a rival. “This is Uchiha Sasuke, though I presume you already knew him. Everyone does.” She smirked upon seeing a look of disgust in Sasuke’s face, having known the Uchiha boy despised the loud-mouth for being…well loud.

And Naruto hated him well…for being him. “Anyway, he’s the president so consider this an honor Naruto! Sasuke, from today and to the last day of school Naruto will be under your surveillance, meaning you’ll have to show him how things work here and teach him that work isn’t just a four letter word.” She explained. Naruto mentally spelled out work and gave her a confused expression. ‘But work is a four letter word…’ He thought.

“You can’t give this nuisance to Hyuuga or Nara?” Sasuke mumbled. Tsunade shook her head. “Nope! I believe that you two can learn from each other! And Naruto…?” She called. Naruto had stopped glaring at Sasuke for the ‘nuisance’ comment and turned his attention to Tsunade. “I’d better not hear a complaint from Sasuke!” She waved them off. “Now be little darlings and leave…”

“B-But old hag! I don’t wanna be stuck with a jerk like him!” Naruto shouted, pointing ruthlessly at Sasuke who held a face of discontent. Tsunade glared, silencing him almost immediately. “I don’t care if you two like each other or not. This is final!”

Naruto glared at Sasuke.

“Quit staring.” Sasuke snapped harshly. Naruto growled as he trailed behind. “I hate you pretty boys.” He mumbled.

Sasuke felt a headache coming on. “Why, is it because girls don’t even take a glance at your way?” He countered. Naruto felt his blood boiling at the unofficial challenge. “You bastard! You wanna fight?” He yelled.

“What are you going to do, dead-last? Make me bleed by my ears to death?” He asked, having mentally kicked himself in leveling down to this idiot’s level. Naruto’s fists curled into a ball and tightened, ready to slam it to Sasuke’s face anytime. “I’ll glare at you to death if I have to you total jerk!”

Sasuke then felt himself calmed again. “Tomorrow morning you’ll meet me by the student office before homeroom.” He finally turned to face the blonde with a cold stare. “Everything goes my way now.” Naruto could have punched the daylights out of this pretty boy by now, but he would get suspended if not expelled if he did so.

“Yeah, yeah bastard.” Naruto yawned before heading out towards the door. Sasuke brushed hair away from his face as he sighed. ‘So help me God if I don’t kill the brat…’ He thought. A dark chuckle came from behind. Sasuke turned and gave the intruder a scowling look. “Hyuuga.” He called calmly.

“Uchiha, looks like you’re up against something dangerous.” Neji remarked, referring to Naruto. Sasuke kept his face at an emotionless expression as he looked over at his ‘best friend’. “What makes you say that?” He asked.

“It takes the boy a sentence to send you to a fit.” He replied. Sasuke sighed and looked out the window, watching Naruto waving his arms anxiously as a group of friends. Naruto tackled Kiba and the two ended fighting on the grass to have Shikamaru and a few others pull them apart and then later to begin their match of soccer.

“Having someone like him is going to raise chaos…” Sasuke mumbled to no one in particular. Neji looked over at where Sasuke had been watching him and smirked. He had to admit, he enjoyed an annoyed Sasuke. And maybe this Naruto boy wasn’t going to be such a drag after all.

However Sasuke thought of it completely opposite. “Let’s just hope for now he won’t set the office on fire…” He mumbled harshly.

This was going to be a long school year.
