Wrong because NB is an abbreviation of Naruto Base. Time to give you guys and gals a grammar lesson.
How do you know when to use the indefinite articles?

"A" goes before all words that begin with consonants.

• a cat
• a dog
• a purple onion
• a buffalo
• a big apple

With one exception: Use "an" before unsounded h.

• an honorable peace
• an honest error

"An" goes before all words that begin with vowels:

• an apricot
• an egg
• an Indian
• an orbit
• an uprising

With two exceptions: When u makes the same sound as the y in you, or o makes the same sound as w in won, then a is used.

• a union
• a united front
• a unicorn
• a used napkin
• a U.S. ship
• a one-legged man

Note: The choice of article is actually based upon the phonetic (sound) quality of the first letter in a word, not on the orthographic (written) representation of the letter. If the first letter makes a vowel-type sound, you use "an"; if the first letter would make a consonant-type sound, you use "a." So, if you consider the rule from a phonetic perspective, there aren't any exceptions. Since the 'h' hasn't any phonetic representation, no audible sound, in the first exception, the sound that follows the article is a vowel; consequently, 'an' is used. In the second exception, the word-initial 'y' sound (unicorn) is actually a glide [j] phonetically, which has consonantal properties; consequently, it is treated as a consonant, requiring 'a'.

When you use the abbreviation you use AN and when you use Naruto Base you use A. I've studied that in english and I'm sure about this.

for all you armchair grammarians out there, gran's looking for a
specific grammar rule as it applies to "a" and "an." we all know you
use "a" with words beginning with consonants and "an" with words
beginning with vowels/vowel sound.

what I'm looking is at least three reputable reference sites that
address the exception to this rule -- where "an" is used with words
beginning with a consonant but which have a predominant vowel sound.
for example, "will consider giving the patient *an* SSRI," "consider
doing *an* MRI."

Ex: A CNC mill. (pronounced see en see)

Ex: An MRI. (pronounced em ar eye)

You just gave us everything about indefinite articles, except the thing we needed. Gongrats.

I'm not an expert on this matter, but I'm pretty sure it's AN not A. Why? If it's Narutobase it's indeed A, however it's not Narutobase, it's NB and that changes everything. NB is pronounced completely different than Narutobase. You say the N of NB differently than the N of Narutobase. If you even would try to pronounce it orally, you would notice it's a lot easier to say an NB record than a NB record.

I always just say it when I doubt with indefinite articles and the one that sounds the best has the most chance of being right. I haven't made a single mistake on that part during all my English classes: A bird sounds better than an bird, an egg sounds better than a egg and a union sounds better than an union.

When you use the abbreviation you use AN and when you use Naruto Base you use A. I've studied that in english and I'm sure about this.

^ he's right U_U
