New recruit

**yawns** I don't like the font, but I'm too sleepy to change it.

Done for Hidden Village Ninja Academy by Faraway4today: [link]

Too good many fics I need to draw for... Need to make a list...

Naruto AU that's vaguely reminicent of HP. All Naruto ever wanted was to eat ramen and sleep, but at the insistence of his tutor (Iruka! ^_^), he's enrolled at the Ninja Academy. Now his homeroom teacher hates his guts, his team leader is chronically late, his teammates think he's worthless and Akatsuki have their eyes fixed firmly on their newest potential member.

...Not to mention his "Haku-nii-san" is dressing like a girl.

The more things that change, the more they stay the same...

And what would a ninja academy uniform look like anyway? I'm stumped. I just stuck them in their canon clothes.

Fic clip:

"They picked you to be an Akatsuki!" Haku exclaimed happily when the two Leaf genin reach the table.

"Akatsuki?" he asked. Haku nodded. As soon as Naruto sat down Haku took the coat and examined it delicately. He boy cooed over the beautiful garment before folding it properly and placing in on the back of the blonde's chair. The blonde looked behind at Shino, who was still standing. "Ah! Sorry. Shino-san, this is Momochi Zabuza and Haku. They're old friends of mine."

"I'm Aburame Shino," the boy stated and bowed politely, taking the other seat by Naruto. "May I ask what an Akatsuki is?"

"The Akatsuki are all elite ninjas," Haku stated. He formed a block of ice from his glass of water and wrapped it in a napkin. Naruto winced as the coldness touched his sore and swelling jaw. "They choose only the best to be part of their group. At the academy they act like the student council you would find at ordinary schools. Once they graduate they stay together, like a fellowship. What makes them truly strange is that they don't pay any attention to village association, just ability," Haku looked at the coat sitting on the blonde shoulder. "The members are considered the elite of the entire ninja community."

"Hey, hey, how did he know I'm any good? I only showed him my Sexy no Jutsu?!" the blonde frowned. Shino's brow rose at the last part and Zabuza choked on his rice.

"Naruto's Sexy no Jutsu is something silly he made up, it's not worth worrying about," Haku sweated as he politely addressed the boy across from him.

"Yeah, but it took out the Hokage and half the sixth floor. That old man's nose was still bleeding when we got back to the office," Naruto laugh.

Suddenly Zabuza started laughing and the young ninjas stared in shocked silence. Shino simply blinked, understanding this was not a normal occurrence and waiting with the others.

"What did Itachi say when he saw it?" the older Mist ninja asked between bouts laughter.

"Um... I think he said 'Stupid' or something," Naruto sweated. The devilish man grinned behind his bandages.

"I bet that was the first time that anal prick has ever seen a naked woman!" the man howled with laughter.
