As the village sprang to life and the sun held it's position in the sky, Nagato completed his morning exercises. Today was the day. He'd just recently graduated from the academy and he was ready to begin his life as a shinobi. Most people were already up and beginning their days in Konohagakure. The village seemed to run like a well oiled machine and most were ready to begin the day. Shinobi came and went leaving for, and returning from missions. In the eyes of many it might as well have been a picture perfect place. There seemed to be very little trouble on a day like this. Especially for the newly anointed Genin who'd be meeting their Jonin Sensei for the first time today. Genin like Nagato who had worked hard and were prepared for the journey that lied ahead. "Nagato! Hurry! You don't want to be late." Sarada Uchiha, or rather Uzumaki, called up to the boy who was already nearly ready to head out. He had already gotten a nice like workout as he prepared for the day and had just recently cleaned himself up. He was almost dressed and could then head out. At least that was his thought as he tied his headband and prepared to leave. "Where do you think you're going young man?" His mother asked, causing him to look back one foot already out the front door. "To the academy. Gotta meet my Jonin. I don't wanna be late." Nagato answered quickly. "No you aren't. You still have to eat dinner." His mother said sternly as she pulled him back into the house by the back of his collar. "Wha? Wait... Mom!" He tried to argue, but to no avail He was soon seated at the dining table with a disgruntled expression on his face. "I'm sorry. Is going really more important than eating the breakfast your mother so wholeheartedly prepared for you with love?" Sarad's words were those of a person who's feelings had been hurt, but her aura was that of a lioness prepared to strike down it's prey. Nagato gulped and began to eat shaking his head and denying her claim. "Very good." She then spoke in a more sweet motherly tone. Ten minuted passed and Nagato was on his way to the academy where he would meet the Jonin. "Phew... I almost died and I haven't even gone on my first mission yet." He grimaced, before laughing it off. It was an exaggeration of course, but a kid could joke. "Now to hurry to the meeting place. -------------------------------------- Mitsuki was currently taking a leisurely stroll on her way to the academy. "I never volunteered for this." She mumbled to herself. She was going to be a sensei. What a joy is was to know she'd be responsible for a team of genin fresh out of the academy and could now live out her dream of being the perfect sensei! NOT~ She'd been pretty much forced into the position and now had to live with it. "I'll get you back." She said the image of her brother clear as day in her mind. Still there was no point in grumbly about it now. "Man this is gonna be such a drag." She said as she continued on her way to meet the new team. Though it was a possibility that the genin would be fairly interesting and good to get to know. Maybe she just needed to be a bit more enthusiastic. Yeah that was it. She could handle this! She could handle anything that was thrown at her!

Jerin had already been at the academy for just under an hour, in one of the target rooms practicing his shurikenjutsu before his team started arriving. His dad had been proud to learn he would be becoming a sensei and had already given him an idea of his first team testing exercise. Flipping through the air, he flicked himself in a spinning circle as he released nine kunai, three for each of the three targets. The first struck the head, the second the heart and the third the gut. Pulling on the metal strings he'd tried to them the kunai came back to him and he stored them again, standing again from his crouched landing. "The more I do this, the more meticulous it seems. Need to get a new routine." As he walked out of the practice room, he was reminded of the bells jingling ever so slightly on his waist. When his father's sensei had done the exercise, he only had two bells, meaning only two of the team members would get to eat if two of any of the team could successfully take one bell each. The team in question? The legendary jinchuuriki and former hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, his own father, Sasuke Uchiha, and Lady Tsunade's star and only pupil, as well as Jerin's mother, Sakura Haruno, later to become Uchiha when she married his father. Removing the bells from his waist, of which there were three this time, and smiled. And so begins my own adventure. Putting the bells in a pouch and making sure they wouldn't jingle too much, Jerin walked to the room he'd designated for his team to meet him in yesterday and sat on the desk, waiting.

### Genjii Ryzhao Genji had been up and about for quite a while at this point. He was fairly restless last night and after waking up for the third time he decided he had enough sleep and quietly got ready for the day. This included getting his gear together and preparing himself a nutritious breakfast of breakfast food bars that his mother had prepped up the day before. She liked to cook and this was one of her favorite snacks to make, they were small, portable and contained plenty of energy to get a person through the day. He snagged three of them as he maneuvered his way out the door and onto the streets of the village. It was about seven years ago that his family moved into the Village Hidden in the Leaves, it was a wonderful place to grow up to be honest and he had never felt more at home. His parents had been working themselves to death to pull their weight and help contribute to the village. It's what inspired Genji to enroll in the ninja academy, it's what still inspired him to this day. The streets had started out empty as he ran from rooftop to rooftop, and as the sun slowly rose over the horizon, so too did the people rise from their sleep. He decided it was finally about time to start his life as a shinobi, more excited than he had really ever been he made his way to the academy where he was to meet with his team and his mentor. He wondered who they would be, he had hoped he would be teamed up with new people, people that he had never really gotten to know. Because Genji loved to meet new people and he wanted this all to be a blank slate, a fresh start, a brand new chapter to his life. He very excitably dove through the open window at the academy, and surprisingly landed quite silently. He noticed only one other person there, someone who was clearly a jonin, but it wasn't his sensei. ### Netsu Aburame Netsu had been wandering through the woods before it was time to meet up with his new genin students. He let his bugs fly free as they all enjoyed the fresh air of nature. Netsu would normally be home sleeping, but a mixture of family drama, something one would consider surprising coming from the Aburame clan, and then the excitement he felt over being able to bring three young ninja under his tutelage to be a Ninja Sensei like his own sensei before him. So rather than rest he cleared his mind and spent the night calming his emotions, preparing for something that was going to bring many changes on his life. As the morning sun rose over the trees his beetles zipped back towards their home in his body. They began to resume their feeding on his chakra, something Netsu had long felt as comforting. "The genin should be arriving any minute now." He said to himself as his meandering had finally brought him to the academy, and further on to the classroom everyone was to meet in. Already Jerin sat on the front desk, a few years Netsu's superior and child of both Sasuke and Sakura of the legendary Team Seven. "Nice to see you here Jerin. I look forward to our teams working together."

Angelo groaned as the sun hit his eyes that morning Angelo got up after a few moments of letting his eyes adjust to the light and he grabbed his straw hat and started making his own breakfast. Angelo lived on his own and wanted to be that way, he had his mother and father in another village but that was because his father couldn't come back or he would face the hyuga clan for leaving so Angelo came to the village alone and since then he has kept in touch with his parents when he could and now today was his first day as an official genin. Today Angelo was going to be making waves in the village and make sure his family could come and live like everyone else. Angelo could only make egg dishes so he was able to make an omelet and ate quickly before he grabbed his equipment and jumped out the window. It took only a few minutes for Angelo to leave his small apartment to get to the academy and once he was their Angelo sat down in a seat in the corner and waited for all the other students to arrive so he could see who his sensei would be...

Another morning in the Kuromine hosuehold, the (fake) dissected body parts hanging from the walls in Ranko's room were lit up by the sunlight. Ranko shuffled about in her bed, her eyes shut and not wanting to wake up. Suddenly, the door was slammed open, a woman with blonde hair went into the room and stripped the sheets off Ranko. **"Ranko, wake up already! You'll be late for your meeting if you keep on sleeping!"** Her mother said. Her attention was on Ranko, but then she focused on the fake body parts hanging from the wall. **"Oh my god, Ranko, I've told you time and time again that you can't hang these things on your wall. What will your friends think if they ever coem into your room?"** Her mother quickly took them off the wall. **"Mom... It is too early, I still have some time. And I know what you mean, that if they aren't real, there's no worth in keeping them on the wall, but they look so cool..."** She started stretching out, in her bed, still wearing her childish pijamas. **"I'm glad you understand, missy. Now, hurry up, get up, get dressed up and then come down for some diner."** Her mother says, turning around with Ranko's fake body parts in her arms and stepping out of her room. **"Yes~"** --- After a nice breakfast and some chatter over the table, Ranko set off to the Academy, wearing a stripped pink and black hoodie opened up and a bit too large for her, the sleeves covering all of her hands, and a sleveless striped shirt under that, a skirt with a squared pattern and the usual sandals that ninjas wear. Skipping as she walked, she was really excited for her first day as an official ninja, her headband certifying her as one around her neck. She hummed some kind of tune as she walked. After a while, she finally reached the Academy and the classroom where their sensei had told them to meet. It seemed as if she had been the first one to arrive, since she heard no one inside. She smiled at the thought of it before slamming the door open. **"Sensei~! Ranko Kuromine, is here~!"**

Morggo was snoring loudly as had spent the last day training and working hard to improve his skills. He would have kept on sleeping had his grandmother not banged loudly on his door to wake him up. Morggo eyes flew opened and the sudden noise was so surprising that he jumped out of bed and fell onto the floor. "By the dead! What's going on?" he called out and then heard his grandmother responded. "You're going to late for meeting your new sensei if you don't hurry up and get dressed and get going young man" she replied, and Morrgo's eyes went wide as he realized that he had slept in. Damn it! he thought to himself as he quickly rushed to find his clothes and ninja equipment. Of all days to be late, it had to be his first day of training his sensei, his ancestors were definitely laughing at him from the afterlife. After he got dressed Morggo didn't even stop to have breakfast, he just said goodbye to his grandparents and rushed out the door. He quickly jumped onto a rooftop and began to dash from one building to the next heading straight towards the academy. He soon saw the building come up into view and he picked up the pace to get there faster. By the time he got to the academy Morggo was breathing heavily and nearly completely out of breath. He quickly entered the building and headed straight for the room where they were suppose to meet. Morggo burst into the room and was breathing very heavily. "S..sorry I'm late, I was slow to get out of my house" he said to the Jonin in the room rubbing his head with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

**Nayta Zellk - The Orange Devil** The early morning was shattered as a lustrous mass flung a limp body into the southern wall of the Zellk's small estate. The shadowy mass cracked with a bang as his body sunk to the ground, blood flowing from the back of his head and onto the short grass he laid on. The insects' songs, their buzzing and chirps, made him want to ground the man into a even bloodier mess. A large arm shot into the air, its fiver-fingered shadow looming over the unconscious man, its reddish-gold colors riveting back and forth down its form. "Enough, Nayta!" called his father from behind the safety of several chakra-formed barriers, barriers made from the Kekkai Genkai of the lower-ranked Zellk members. Of course they were forced to risk their lives to secure his father's own but it made no difference to him. His arm halted a foot from the bloody trash that laid meters away from him. It staid frozen in mid-air, biding its time until its master ordered an attack. A ominous thud resounded through the backyard as Nayta smacked the side of his own head with his actual arm, his eyes never flinching from the pain, never showing any. A slow chuckle left his small, hunched frame as he glared down at the koi fish pond. "Now father, don't go getting too cocky," he uttered. He could hear the loud and nervous gulp of a coward afterwards, though his voice betrayed little of it. "Listen to me. If you continue to kill your sparring partners you'll have none lef-" The large glimmering arm whipped around swiftly and crushed several layers of the crystalline limbs standing in the way of his father's body. The servants' screams and agony occupied the air there after. They fell to the ground and with another cleansing wipe, Nayta's crystalline arm had swept them off the wooden ledge with harsh force, tossing them sprawling onto the ground. The youth's head cocked suddenly as he eye'd one of the fish snatch up a lizard at the pond's edge. That was weird, he hadn't believed that fish could be predators before that moment. Which lead him back to his original thought, his father had gotten too full of himself lately, suggesting things and throwing weak Zellk members at him to fight with. It seemed to him that he was trying to keep him busy but maybe he was wrong. "I choose who I want to fight and honestly, these members are boring. Tell me father, where are our elites? where have you sent them?" he asked slowly and emotionless. "O-On missions of course. F-For the Leaf, we must earn their trust if we're to stay. You know this, Nayta." "Hmm, I wonder sometimes." He stood up from his spot, ready to leave the dreadful place of gray and black. The leaf village offer much more entertainment than his birth family did. In the leaf there were smartasses, rebels, and pissy-jocks that he could beat down. Here, all he had to fight were mindless beasts and bogs of misery. Another tactless smack to the side of his own head and he was walking away towards the exit. Behind him, the groans of his loyal dogs were still echoing. They were in pain and he was utterly bored of it. The large appendage behind him smacked the ground with quaking results before sliding into the back of his shoulders and hiding beneath the skin. "I'll be back soon, I have a sensei to meet," he told the fearful man behind the trembling remains of his barrier. He couldn't recall how long it had taken to get to the Academy but he knew that the gray morning had gained some color by the time he had. Diverting from the norm of walking through the front door, he scaled the building onto its roof and found the window of the Classroom they were to be meeting in. He slid open a window with his small fingers just in time to hear the loud greeting of a kunoichi. He paused in the window, his feet balanced perfectly, a hand lifted sidewards to say hey to all that looked. "Sensei!" he yelled loudly, mocking the call of the other girl. "Nayta Zellk is here!" A grinned widely, bringing a certain charm to his otherwise wildy features. He dropped inside the classroom and gave the side of his head a good smack before walking to the first row and sitting down. He laid his orange eyes on the girl that spoke before smiling at her. "Sorry about that. I'm just really nervous," he lied.

Dango started off his day on the wrong side of the bed. In a literal and incredibly unfortunate way. Dango's parent tended to be overly-enthusiastic in the mornings, usually scaring Dango witless. On this particular day, he was lying down rather close to the edge and flung himself backwards into the crevice between the bed and the wall. "Heh!?" Dango yelped as he dropped down to the floor beneath the bed. *That hurt....* He thought as he rolled out towards the old man's feet. "W-Why are you sho lo-ud i-in the m-morningsh...?" Dango asked as he rubbed his head. "The pain is your brain tearing away the drowsiness!" Dango really didn't understand what he meant half the time when he said things like that, but he just goes with it anyways. "What-t e-ever," he said as he pulled on his clothes and helmet. After hastily grabbing a light breakfast, Dango tripped down the stairs and somehow landed on his feet as he stumbled towards the door. Finally regaining his balance, he was given a brief "Good-luck!" as he left through the front of the dango store. --- Despite having tripped over many pebbles on the way over, Dango made decent speed through the relatively clear streets. Of course, he was still quite a hazard to people walking next to him, but he tried to stay out of their way. Dango was not any more graceful than he was before he walked into the Academy(though, he did slow down), nor when he tried to enter the meeting room; he saw a girl enter the room he was supposed to go to and, suddenly excited at the prospect of meeting his squadmates, Dango sped up towards the room, eventually reaching a run. However, when he tried to go in, Dango somehow managed to trip on the doorframe.... "Hi every-- whoopsh--" Dango said in greeting, before flying right past the girl and faceplanting into a flip. After landing hard onto his back, he dizzily looked up at the girl and his new teacher before apologizing out of habit. "U-uhm, shorry." he said in a quiet voice as he sat up.
