The day was just like any other at the cool village of Konohakagure. The market was open, kids played in the tall buildings and the grounds below laughing, and people socialized. Ninja went about their daily duties and fought for their right to exist. Menial and dangerous jobs alike it hardly mattered to anyone as long as you were on your path to be the fine shinobi you were destined to be. To live, experience, fight, and understand one's self was the best way to experience life. The dangers that came along with way of life, the life of the ninja, were things that would let everyone grow and become better people. It was through their devotion to their family, their village, their friends, and themselves that young men and women such as the one in the classroom. This was what it meant to live. To understand. To BECOME the best you could have possibly ever become. That was also a part of the Will of Fire. After all how many people could truly say they were happy with their lots in life without living life to it's fullest? However for the Konohakagure's newest ninja class this is what their teacher would always say, "The best life is one lived for yourself and your own beliefs knowing you did your best until you pass onto the next life." Nagato Sensei always encouraged them to do their absolute best and leave nothing back for those who hesitated failed. He was a bit stern and hard but he devoted himself fully to his students and hated if they failed viewing it as a failure himself. He'd personally help them and now he was seeing them off into the hands of different jounin throughout the village. The children raised in the academy were truly ready for what was to come. The world was a cruel harsh place and it was not to be trifled with but hey he can't do much now could he? The grey haired teacher smiled at his class sadly as he stood before them. "So everyone it's finally the day you graduate...I'm all so proud of you..." Nagato said loudly and proud.

It was a simple and typical morning for Kuro. Nothing fancy and nothing overall special. He had gotten up and eaten breakfast as usual and he had gone outside to train for a bit before heading off to school. It wasn't because he wasn't happy about today. No in fact he was glad that the day had finally come. He would actually become an official ninja and that was all there was too it. It took him a decent chunk of time to get to class as the road was blocked on the way there due to a fallen tree that had been knocked down by mistake in a construction project. Regardless he got there on time and that was all that mattered. He stank of sweat, he was a bit hungry to say the least after an extended walk, and he knew that Nagato Sensei wouldn't be pleased by the smell. But in the end it didn't matter. He took his place nearby the corner of the class room in the back row and simply sat there after saying hello to Nagato for the last time as a academy student.
