[b]Hyugā Residence, Early Morning:[/b] A loud gong could be heard inside the Main Family residence. This signified the time to wake up for morning practice. It was currently 5:00 in the morning. Branch jumped out of his bed. He knew that today, he was going to be assigned to a squad. He had just recently become a Genin after graduating from the academy. For him it didn't feel like much of a challenge. He walked to His dresser and took out his regular clothes. He also put on a red bandana to cover the cursed seal on his forehead. This was ordered by the head of the main family. He didn't want to let the Homage or the rest of the village know that they had commited an experiment on a mere child of three years of age. Branch picked up his scythe which, layed on the opposite side of his bed, as he walked out of his room. Branch walked to the training hall, there he saw a new sparring partner. He had almost killed the one before. He was too weak. [i]'A replacement huh? Guess the main family is getting desperate in an attempt to control me.'[/i] Branch later his scythe down next to one of the elders as he stepped onto the mat. He took the Gentle Fist stance. Once the sparring commenced, in a matter of seconds, his partner was already on the ground. He bowed and walked out of the training hall, not before retrieving his trusty scythe. Branch looked at the time. [i]'Oh no..I'm going to be late..not.'[/i] Branch put his hands together as if he was making a hand symbol. [i]'Shunshin No Jutsu!'[/i] Branch dispersed into a cloud of smoke. [b]Academy:[/b] Branch reappeared at the academy. He walked in waving at some of his sense is. Branch stood in front of the classroom and walked in not knowing that his bandana fell off during sparring so his cursed seal was pretty much seeable.
