Aki stood amongst the other students at the academy, listening to their teacher give her speech. He was excited to know which team he would put on and more importantly, who would be his teammates. Whoever they were he hoped that they were at least good enough to give a challenge in training. His clan had taught him to go for the strongest opponents that he could find. The Moruma clan believed that only facing the best of the best would prove a true shinobi of his greatness, and Aki believed this without question. He listened carefully as the women said out the names of the genin who would be apart of the teams. [i]""Squad 1 is as followed: Renka Kagami, Ayaka Hyuuga, and Hibiki Wakana. The sensei is Daisuke Yama."[/i] Not bad Aki, but he was a little disappointed that he didn't get to be on a team with a genin from the Hyuuga clan. Their Gentle Fist taijutsu style would have been an ideal opponent for his clan's Beast Fist style of taijutsu. Then there was the genin from the Hibiki clan, very interesting indeed. The clan of blind ninja were known for the ability to overcome their blindness thanks to their bloodline technique. What he found strange was her use of drumsticks for harnessing chakra, but she good at taijutsu if he recalled correctly. he didn't know much about the third genin Renka Kagami, but might learn more about her in the future. When Aki heard that Daisuke Yama was the team's mentor, Aki was envious, he'd heard that the jonin had great skill in taijutsu and had a very formidable bloodline technique. He then heard the names of the genin who would be part of Squad 2 [i]"Squad 2 is as followed: Kurai Nara, Rin Yamakage, Ryuto Okami, and the sensei is Touzoku Hasenji."[/i] Aki didn't know much about most of them but he of course knew a lot about Ryuto Okami, the two of them were rivals. Aki was adiment that his clan's style of taijutsu was better than Ryuto's and they had been trying to show whose clan styles were better ever since they had started at the academy. Even though they would sometimes have heated arguments over who had the better fighting style, Aki deep down had hoped that they could have been on the same team. Finally, the third squad was announced, [i]"Squad 3 is as followed: Aki Moruma, Nettaiya Helix, and Teru Naoki. The sensei is Kyouka Hasegawa."[/i] Aki gave a groan, he had been placed on a team with Nettaiya Helix. The boy was arrogant as all hell, and when he heard him burst out in reaction to the announcement, Aki rolled his eyes in annoyance. This was going to possibly be a tough road to go through on his journey as a shinobi. He was interested in having Teru Naoki on his team, the genin used a form of taijutsu very similar to the Inuzuka by using dogs as a way of combating their opponents. Aki was curious to see how his taijutsu would go up against Teru's. He didn't know too much about their sensei Kyouka Hasegawa, but what he did know was that she was a woman of many different personalities. Aki didn't mind, as long as she trained them well, she could be a sadist for all he cared. Now that he knew who his teammates were, he walked over to Nettaiya and said, "Well it looks like we're together on the same team Nettaiya, I hope you can keep up."
