It was a day like any other in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The streets were bustling with patrons and travelers to the peaceful village. Children laughed and played, birds chirped, and dogs barked. Life was wonderful, but it was about to get a lot more interesting for a select few young individuals. Today was the day the village's Ninja Academy graduates were assigned their Jounin sensei and squad leader. You could feel both excitement and nervous anxiety create a thick fog of tension in the room. The only thing able to even slightly alleviate and distract from it was one particular graduate and a rather giant sized lump on their forehead where their headband should have been.

The door slid ajar causing everyone to jerk upright in their seats before the door opened fully revealing their teacher at the Academy. He was a young man with a cut lined rather perfectly horizontally across the center of his face. His name was Iruka and he was cherished by his students. To some he was the big brother they never had or wished they did. He was a mentor and a friend and this position truly suited him. He walked to the center of the room and faced his class. He cleared his throat and began. [color=orange]"Good morning, class. Today is the day we say goodbye to each other, but it's also the first day on your journey as ninja. As you know I will be assigning you your squadmates and sensei and once you step outside that door you'll meet them and receive one final test."[/color] A few groans were heard in the crowd.

[color=orange]"I know, I know. You all thought you were done, but unfortunately from here the road gets tougher. That's not meant to discourage you. You are all remarkable and I'm certain this will be the generation to surpass even the late Lord Ryuusei and become Sages. So before I call out the squads I want to say these parting words. Work hard, make connections with the people that you meet on your journey, stay safe, and work together with your comrades. If you remember these things you will certainly succeed. Now."[/color]

Iruka began reading through the squads. There were some excited yells, but also some disappointed signs as people got paired up with certain people.

[color=orange]"Squad 3 will consist Ayume Uchiha, Rai Lee, and Natsumi Hyuuga being led by Jounin instructor and Legendary Sannin, Tala Inuzuka."[/color]

Audible gasps and groans of jealousy could be heard throughout the class. Nevertheless Iruka continued as if he hadn't said anything out of the ordinary.

[color=orange]"Squad 8 will consist of Hiromi Senju, Hie Hatake, and Hayate Hyuuga being led by Jounin instructor Hisoki Hatake."[/color]

The squads so far looked pretty solid and were as solid as could be given the circumstances of the graduating class. It had almost seemed like this group in particular was bred to be Sages.

[color=orange]"And finally Squad 12 will consist of Kaeda Uchiha, Ken Haruno, and Okiku Komorebi being led by Jounin instructor and Legendary Sannin, Megumi Nara."[/color] Now this had shocked the entire class. Tala was known to consider genin graduates, but he never found a group worthy of being passed by him, but Megumi was a new potential instructor because out of all the Sannin she was the one everyone considered the mysterious loner rather than someone who'd want to be around other people, let alone kids.

[color=orange]"Alright, simmer down! I understand you're all excited so I'll leave you to get reaquainted with your squadmates before your senseis arrive to get you."[/color] After saying that he once again left his now former students to themselves. He had to get out of there before he started crying at the thought of them leaving to start their ninja journeys.
