Beams of sunlight cascaded past the cloth window curtains of a small, simple room. A young boy slowly waking up, his bright blue eyes narrow, blocking out as much light as possible. Kagasei sat up, lifting a hand to shield his eyes from the blinding morning light in an attempt to let his vision adjust, the boys black hair falling into his face. When his vision finally began to clear, Kagasei turned, brushing one of the curtains to the side and looking out of his bedside window. He watched as Konohagakure slowly began to come alive. Villagers walked back and forth across the roads going to shops, work, some younger children playing a game of tag in the streets. It had been a total of eleven years since Kagasei had found himself within the Hidden Leaf Village and today was somewhat of an important one. Today was the day of the Chunin Exams. Kagasei had trained at the Shinobi Academy since the day he arrived at the village. He got in by the will of the Hokage of Konohagakure, Boruto, and not long after had finally graduated to the rank of Genin. 

Unfortunately for Kagasei, becoming a Genin meant he was to be placed into a team lead by one of the Village's top Jonin. The most unfortunate part of it however, was the fact that because he could not get along with any of the teams he was assigned to, he had to be placed within a special squad. One that was lead by the sister of the Hokage himself, Himawari Uzumaki, and only had one other member by the name of Minato Hatake, another troublemaker that was apart of Kagasei's class in the Academy. It was a long and difficult road, missions almost always ended poorly and the team never really got along. From Kagasei's perspective, Minato was always at fault. He always seemed to get in his way. The two of them never stopped trying to one up each other and ended up having an unbelievable number of talks with the Hokage about teamwork and the future of the Leaf Village.

But after such a long and hard journey, Kagasei was finally going to have a chance to show not only the Hokage, but all the Five Kages what he was made of. He wasn't quite sure what to expect from the Chunin exams, everyone seemed to keep quiet about the whole thing. Even Himawari wouldn't say anything about what the exam itself was going to consist of, but no matter what, Kagasei was confident that he was not going to fail. After a few minutes, the young Shinobi got out of bed, got dressed and walked over to a small table placed against one of the walls to his room. Placed on top of the table was a large, hulking sword. He didn't know too much about the blade only that it was named the Kubikiribōchō and that it was wielded by one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. An old organisation consisting of the seven most legendary swordsmen of his home village of Kirigakure. Lifting the massive blade, Kagasei strapped it to his back, the end of it almost touching the ground, and stretched his arms one final time before pulling his cloth mouth cover over his nose and leaving the room.
