I stood looking around at all the faces of the other genin that just graduated with him, Some younger faces, that no one knew were there and some older faces that
everyone knew. He was one of the last ones to stroll into the waiting area, it was kind of crowded, So he started pushing his way through the kids his age. Being one of the shortest makes it difficult to find your friends through the mass of bodies. Eventually I start recognizing some of the kids from my class, The easiest two to spot are Shikkaru and Kuroda, Their heads stick up above the rest and Shikkaru's hair points him out like a beacon. The blond and black contrasting one another. I decided I didn't need to make myself look any shorter than I already was, so I defiantly wasn't going to stand next to either of them while I waited. Pushing my way further to the front of the pack I noticed a familiar dark haired girl. The one that always carried the sword, Her name was escaping me at the moment, so I decided not to make a fool of myself and call her by the wrong name. I was already just about to the front of all the kids, still with no one to stand with, I was getting desperate. Finally, I noticed someone I could approach.
"Mai! Hey, what's u-" Before I could grab her attention and make my way over a jonin came out of the hokage's office and started addressing the kids, by now I was standing directly in front of him. He told us all to form a line and get ready to meet the hokage and receive our teams. Since I was already standing right in front of him I turned to face him as kids started lining up behind me. I followed the jonin back into the hokage's office. Once I entered the room I took my place off to the right of the desk to let other kids funnel in behind me.
"Should I introduce myself? Does he already know who I am?" After all the kids that could come in did and as the noise started to fade I hesitated for just a split second before-
"My names Tsukai, Im honored to meet you Lord Hokage."
