Shizumi rushed to the front of his family's floral shop, grabbing another boxe and taking it to the back. [b]"Keep up that pace and you'll be out of here in no time!"[/b] Shizumi's father said as he hung some of the potted plants in the window. Shizumi ran back to the front of the shop, hoisting another box over his small, broad shoulder. [b]"Why did a supply of fertilizer have to come today!"[/b] he shouted as he ran it to the back of the store. [b]"It's our job as Leaf villagers to keep the village beautiful. What better way to spruce up the appearance of the village than with beautiful flowers!"[/b] his father replied with more than enough cheer in his voice. There was no way Shizumi could actually be mad at his father. After all, the guy is too happy for his own good. Shizumi rushed to the front of the store once more, this time hoisting the last two boxes on his shoulders and running to the back to place them in the storage room. Shizumi shot from the back of the shop with his thumb held high, [b]"ALL DONE, POPS!"[/b] he shouted as a great big grin spread from ear to ear. [b]"Very well, baby boy! If your mother doesn't have anything more for you, you are free to go and meet your sensei. Good luck!"[/b] his father said as he continued to hang the potted plants. 

Shizumi raced out the front door of the shop, running his fingers along the side of the wooden building as he ran to the back to see his mother. He stopped, rubbing the back of his head, [b]"MOM!"[/b] he shouted, [b]"CAN I GO NOW, MOM!"[/b] he added as he ran farther back into the shop's garden. Shizumi's mother stood up from the flowers she had been working on, rubbing her hands on her apron before touching the boys face, [b]"I don't see why not. It seems like just yesterday you were my baby, and-- and--"[/b] she began to sniffle, interrupting her monologue. [b]"Cut it out, ma!"[/b] Shizumi said wiping the dirt from his cheek before putting on a huge grin, [b]"I'll be just fine!"[/b] His mother smiled at the boy, she was proud of the confidence that burned inside of his belly. Plus, she knew he had to be ready, he'd been wearing his headband ever since he earned it. She wiped small tears from her eyes and she took the boy's image in once more, [b]"Go on"[/b] she said, [b]"AND BE CAREFUL!"[/b]

Shizumi dashed from the garden, to the side of the store, to the front and all the way up the street in no time. The boy couldn't help but smile as he ran through the village, waving off the people that acknowledged him. [b]"Is that Shizumi I see" said one of the street vendors. "No time!"[/b] Shizumi shouted, holding his thumb up, assuring the man that it was indeed him. 15 minutes of running and Shizumi had finally made it to the steps of the Hokage Monument. Looking up, he could see silhouettes in the golden shine of the sun that hung brightly over Konoha. Racing up the steps, Shizumi shouted [b]"IM'A HERE!"[/b] holding up his thumb as he began to reach the top steps, seeing that there was already a student there. [b]"Damn... I wanted to be the 1st here..."[/b] he mumbled to himself as he began to walk toward the 2. [b]"I'm Shizumi Uchiha--"[/b] pointing to himself, [b]"AND I'M PRESENT!"[/b] he said happily, smiling from ear to ear.
