Layout/floorplan of Naruto's apartment

I signed up for NaNoWriMo at the end of October, and after starting a fanfiction for another fandom, I had an epiphany two chapters in and decided to change to a Narusaku fic. The trouble is a fair chunk of the later chapters of this second story take place at Naruto's apartment/flat/I'm not quite sure what you'd call it, and I can't for the life of me remember if we've ever seen his place in full.
Have we? And if so, can anyone give me manga chapters/episode numbers? I'm sorry if it seems lazy not to go back and look myself, but since I changed stories midway through November I'm about 15000 words behind schedule and I simply don't have time.
I'd appreciate any input, so thanks in advance!

Also, I think one of the first eps with Konohamaru has the kid wander around inside the apartment as well, so you could flip through that.
Hope that helped out a bit!

Again, thanks for the heads up!

Holy crap, THANK YOU SO MUCH! That's exactly what I was looking for, even if it does seem to completely disprove the image I was going to use as reference!
In that chapter, it looks like the place is really only one room, but as your pictures show, it has quite a few.
Ah well, again, thanks! I can puzzle this out more canonically now. <3

I think it's the final layout though cause the bedroom is pretty close to some concept art that was floating around for the 360 game. Besides, it'd be a little sad if all Naruto had was a tiny efficiency
Edit: Oh, the shot of his apartment in Shippuden 7 matches the sketches as well.

;_: Me too.
*cue the writing of Sakura-buys-Naruto-another-chair fic.* Should totally be a challenge, LOL. But oh man, that is so going in my fic somehow. I don't know how (well I have a good idea, but I haven't written it yet), but it will.

There is a plan for Narutos Apartment in the Databook ( sry forgot which one it was) he has 2 rooms with a bathroom I think you can see the second room in the front page of chapter 10 its a study room where Naruto reads books while eating ramen xD

Ahaha, DO IT. In my fic, Naruto buys another chair, and it was all I could do not to burst into tears at the gross injustice of him having to do that himself.
And actually, that does sound like an interesting challenge! When I finish this chaptered story, I might attempt a drabble for it. Sounds like fun.

And Nick, you made my day! I'm stoked that you even remembered my stories - it feels like it's been so long since I've written Narusaku. My NaNo story is actually a reworking of certain plot elements I was planning for Trial and Error, so I'll actually be deleting that off ff.net shortly before I post the new fic. I'll probably archive the original chapters at my writing journal (and I'm definitely keeping everyone's reviews!), but IIRC ff.net has a policy about not posting same/similar fics.
Not sure when I'll have this story up - I've just started writing chapter six of an estimated fifteen-to-twenty, but I know myself too well and I have a habit of abandoning things right near the end. Hopefully it'll be finished and I'll have the first chapter ready to post in mid-December. Thanks again for the kind words!

And please don't delete Trial and Error! I'd rather liked it! Especially your portrayal of Sai! It'll just be interesting to keep the two side by side so it can be seen how much you've progressed and changed from the initial idea!
..and geeze, Naruto's apartment looks bigger and more sparse than I thought. No wardrobe to hang up clothes. More plants than I expected too.

I'm glad you liked the fic, but I don't really want to list another story as abandoned - it seems like that's the status of half my stories at ff.net, and it makes me feel bad. It won't be gone forever, just moved to my writing journal, mainly for my records and on the off chance that anyone actually wants to read two chapters of a story that will never be finished. Plus, it was more serious than this one is going to be, and I'm trying to get away from drama.
Yeah, he doesn't have a wardrobe but then again he doesn't really have any 'going out' clothes, so I guess he doesn't need to iron or anything. Everything can just be folded and put in his chest of drawers. I'm trying to think if we've seen many of his 'civilian' outfits, but all I can remember are black t-shirts with various symbols on them. Like in 347 (?) when he and the rest of the team meet up for ramen and Sakura is wearing some hideous dress that makes her look about forty. Oh, Sakura.

Do what you must then. Do what you must. But you could always list in its summary that it's gone through a spiritual overhaul and rewrite.
That ought to have changed when he went around with Jiraiya. There's just no way Jiraiya wouldn't have instilled a bit of culture during their travels... Oh well, whether or not would remain to be seen, or likely, never be seen.
And though I agree Sakura's dress did look atrocious, it was the only time in the manga that someone gave such a blatantly flirting look, haha.
Fitting the Pieces
To me, it's one of those pieces that you don't quite forget after you've read it. :thumbs:

Yeah, way too stressful.
Rick, I am from Australia! I'm in Brisbane, up in sunny QLD, although I was born in Victoria. It's awesome finding other Narusaku fans from down under - there aren't that many of us, so we have to stick together, okay?
