[indent][indent][indent][indent][indent]On the left side of the room, somewhat towards the front, Kazeyuurei Hiro sat in his seat, stifling a light chuckle at Akimichi Chotzu's antics.  Hiro enjoyed the atmosphere of Konoha and their academy.  He knew he'd fallen in love with this village when he'd seen their abundance of trees (which was appropriate, given their namesake), but it went deeper than that.  There was an energy here that was different than Suna.  The sand would always be Hiro's home, but the leaf was certainly not without its charms.  Their sensei's response to his disruptive behavior helped him stifle the laugh further, and he straightened up a little in his seat when she mentioned team assignments.  Sure, they'd had a graduation ceremony, and he'd been given his hitai-ate, signifying his status as a shinobi, but being assigned a team made it real for Hiro.  A team meant missions, putting his training thus far to use, it meant living Hiro's idea of a shinobi's life.  Suffice it to say, he was incredibly excited.  However, given their sensei's feelings towards disruptions, he stoppered that excitement somewhat.

Once Bohi-sensei had posted the team listings and dismissed the class, Hiro followed suit with the other fresh genin and leaned forward over the desk to get a better view of the placements, trying his best to ignore the various reactions of his classmates, including one cheerful crab boy.  He spotted his own name grouped with the names of two other genin.  [b][color=#C1E4D5]"Uchiha Bakuto... huh?"[/color][/b]  He didn't know why only one name was grouped with his.  Where he and Bakuto the only genin on their team?  As for his teammate, he didn't know him well but knew him by reputation.  The quiet kid with the Suna puppet prosthetic.  There were a number of puppeteers in the Kazeyuurei clan, so he'd noticed the unique craftsmanship quickly.  Part of Hiro felt bad for the older boy, as losing his arm must no doubt have hurt.  Unless, of course, he'd been born that way.  Hiro caught himself before he got too deep in creating an imaginary backstory for his new teammate and made his way over to talk to the boy.

[b][color=#C1E4D5]"Um, hello!"[/color][/b]  He was a little awkward, but his smile was wide and genuine.  [b][color=#C1E4D5]"It's a pleasure to be on your team, Uchiha-san!  I'll do my best to carry my weight!"[/color][/b]  He bowed politely.[/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]
