[ There’s a lot of important posts going up on the network lately. So much so that Naruto has been kind of apprehensive about posting this. He can't really articulate as well as everyone else and while he wishes he could say something useful about everything that's happening, he's kind of overwhelmed by it all and just taking it as it comes. His issue is determinedly unimportant, but desperation has got the better of him. So here he is. Hi, he's new. Be nice. ]

So uh, I was wonderin' if one of you could help me with something…

[ His usually whiskered but now strangely bare cheeks (thanks cloaking device) are slightly pink as he scrunches up his face. He looks… kind of embarrassed to be asking something like this so openly, because it’s like admitting inferiority, but this kind of stuff just isn’t his forte. ]

I dunno what to tell people when they ask what I do, or where I come from, or anythin' like that.

[ Coming up with an entire backstory? All by himself? Surely you jest. The most he’s managed is dressing his clones differently and calling them his brothers, any more creative than that and you’re asking a little too much of him. He’s entirely new to this community and finding a place in it is hard enough without also having to find a place in this random world too. ]

An old lady asked me why I wasn't in school, an' when I told her I stopped goin' to school when I was thirteen she didn't take it well, so I dunno what I'm supposed to say, y'know. In my world I'm a shinobi, is there anythin' like that here?

Perhaps. But if you are caught wandering the grounds during classtime, it will likely lead to trouble. You would have to time things carefully.

You could pass for a janitor or similar, yes. I am unsure if that would do you much good, however. It would be lacking in the benefits of pretending to be a student, including the ramen.

[Sure, he could change back into himself for that, but then there might be questions about his classes and such from other students, and then he'd be back to being screwed.]

It could work. Some of the teachers expect students out of class to be carrying items called "hall passes", but I suppose I could make you one, if necessary.

[He sighs. This is so much complication for something relatively straightforward--but he supposes that's better for their cover in the long run. Naruto can't read English any more than he can, and Sai has been relying almost entirely on taking notes while the teacher speaks verbally, and in having someone read his homework aloud for him so it would translate and then dictating his answers so they could transpose them back to English.

It'd be very difficult for Naruto to maintain their cover in such an environment, he thinks.]

[It's his new lot in life--fulltime Uzumaki Naruto babysitter.]

Be certain not to use your clones there, Naruto. One of you might be dismissed as a lapse in memory, but they will certainly remember if there were ten identical individuals attending their school at the same time.

That is fine for the city at large, but not the school. They will all need names, and an excuse for why nobody has ever seen them before. If you claim to have only just transferred in, some students might be fooled, but how would you explain your absence from the records? Nothing is on-record for you, here. It will arouse suspicion.

[He shakes his head.]

Avoid the rasengan, as well, and any other ninjutsu that is likely to draw attention.

[...sigh. he should've seen that coming.]

It...will be cold by the time it reaches you, you realize.

[what's a microwave]

[applying fire to a plastic container: What Could Possibly Go Wrong

but at least this is an acceptable option to sai, and finally he relents.]


...Alright. Lunchtime is slated at approximately noon.
