BANG! An explosion blazed from the heart of forest igniting trees. In the centre of the blaze however was not just a simple explosion. There was fight. Between two experienced and skilled Shinobi at the peak of their strength. These were not just Shinobi. They were Jounin. Ninjas with high experience and with a vast reservoir of Jutsu to use. However things did not seem good for one of the Shinobi as he laid against a tree, his body bruised, charred and battered, with blood leaking from his mouth and on to his pale skin.

"I have to say…you are a lot stronger than…you were the last time fought you…Arata." Moaned the injured Jounin. Arata smiled cockily He took his hands from his pockets and brushed his blonde hair that was covering his head band revealing a metal plate on the front that was carved with the basic outline of a peach. "I can't believe…you still…kept the headband of the Village Hidden among the Peaches."

"Yes I did. It reminds me of our childhood. The fun we use to have…remember." Arata said before preparing his hands to do a Jutsu. "One day I will be Momonokage*, and the Village Hidden among the Peaches WILL BE MINE!"

"And you think killing all the candidates for Momonokage will make you it! You fool!" The guy exclaimed ignoring his plain.

"SILENCE!" Arata bellowed "You will see! I will be Momonokage. Oh wait, you will already be dead!"

Arata put his hands together. "Let me show you my new Jutsu." His opponent closes his eyes and accepted his fate.

"Inu → Ushi → Uma → Tori → I → Tora → Inu →Tora → Ne." Arata chanted "Fire Style: Fire Blitz Jutsu!" A huge blaze of fire was created and advanced towards his enemy.

"DIE!" Arata said.

Brother, I have failed you! You must avenge me BROTHER! I am sorry I cannot be there for your graduation but I know you will be a great Shinobi, Eddy he thought before the blaze reached him.

10 years had passed since that fateful day.

The sun had rose and its light had crept its way into the bedroom and teaming up with the buzzing of an alarm clock the person that slept on the bed awoke and proceeded their morning routine. After dressing they stood in front of the mirror not only to analyse his appearance but to look himself for the last time before he would become…

"A Shinobi. On this day, I, Eddward, will become a Shinobi." Edd said before advancing towards the door where he saw a note saying Dear Eddward, good luck today at the graduation exams. Do us proud and become a Shinobi. Love Mother + Father.

After being inspired to do his family proud he left his house, locked his house and headed to the Academy.

At the academy the atmosphere was mixed with nervousness and excitement ready to do the exam. The students entered into the classroom and sat in their respective seats and their teacher stood in front of them holding a clipboard with a registration paper.

"When I say you name reply 'yes' so we can start the exam." The teacher said

"Nazz."

"Yes." replied a blonde girl wearing a black top with a white vest and indigo shorts.

"Kevin."

"Yeah." A boy with a green long sleeve top, black shorts and was wearing a red cap backwards.

"Sarah."

"Yes." A ginger hair girl with a pink top and light blue trousers.

"Jimmy."

"Yes." A boy with very light blonde hair said who wore a light blue top and a white trousers that went to his ankle.

"Rolf."

"Yay." Rolf exclaimed with his yellow top with a red hoop. His hair was blue and his skin was dark.

"Jonny."

"Hi sensei." Jonny wore a white top and blue short and wore sandals unlike the others who wore shoes. He also carried a piece of wood with a face on it.

"Edward."

"Hiya sensei." A yellow skinned, no-chinned boy wearing Wally like top and green jacket on top and had light purple trousers.

"Eddward."

"Yes sensei." A boy that I mentioned earlier. He wore an orange top and had a deep purple short.

"Hitu."

"Whatever." A lazy boy who brown flowing hair and olive skin and had a black top and white short.

"Saku."

"Yeah! Let's do it!" An enthusiastic girl said exclaiming in joy. She wore a pink top and a white long trousers.

"Atsuko."

"Yes Sir." A dark skin boy with white hair wearing a no top exposing his muscular build and a grey jacket covering his broad shoulders and a grey jacket.

"And finally Eddy."

There was no reply. The teacher looked around the class for any sign of the boy. Just as the sensei was about to put a cross next to his name the door slammed opened a short boy with pink skin and had no neck. He wore a yellow top with a red strip on the side and wore light blue trousers with a wallet chain protruding out his pocket.

"Sorry I am late Sensei, the traffic was horrible on the way here." Eddy excused himself.

"You are just in time, I was about to mark you absent. Hurry up and sit down." The teacher said. Eddy dashed to his space.

"Now that you are all here I will now explain the exam to you. There are 2 parts to the exam. A written half where you will be tested on your knowledge and mental skills and a practical half where we will see how well you can perform Jutsu." The teacher said before passing out exam papers. "First the written half." They were many groans from pupils however there was one pupil who was eager for it. Eddward. However he is often called 'Double-D' to prevent confusion with the other 'Edward' (aka Ed).

"Pssst Double-D" Edd turned to his right to see Eddy whispering to him. "Can I copy you?"

"What! Have you lost your mind! Copying is a serious offence!" Edd replied.

"C'mon Double-D. You wanna do well don't yeah! Here the deal, you let me copy and I will tell you what the practical half of the exam holds for us."

"What? How do you…"

"I held Momonokage and sensei talking about it. We have an hour after this test to have a break then the practical half commences. But that is all I am telling you unless you let me copy."

The teacher placed the exam on Edd and Eddy desk and continue to proceed to hand out exams to other pupils.

"What do ya say?" Eddy asked.

"Fine you can copy my examination." Edd reluctantly said.

"Sweet." Eddy said.

"Okay, you have 1 hour to do it…you may began." The sound of pencil scribbling on paper could be heard as the pupils started writing the answers down.

1 hour later

The students left the room for their one hour break. They went to the peach garden where many discussed the answers they got for the exam.

"Okay I let you coping my paper, what does the practical exam hold for us." Edd whispered.

"Fine. The next part we will be asked to make a Shadow clone." Edd got nervous. Out of the Ninja arts that was his worst one. "What's wrong, don't tell me you are bad at it. It is easy. Shadow Clone Jutsu." A puff of smoke appeared next to Eddy and when it cleared a duplicate of Eddy appeared next to him "See." They said in unison.

"That's nothing." The trio turned around and saw Ed. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" 5 clones appeared next to Ed.

"Oh yeah!" 4 more clones appeared next to Eddy. Edd was shocked. How did Eddy do that? He used a fraction of the chakra that Ed used for the Jutsu. Although Ed has more chakra though.

"You try Double-D." Edd gulped.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu." A scruffy clone appeared next to him. Ed and Eddy laughed frantically. Edd was embarrassed.

"Alright I am going to call you up one by one for the practical half of the exam." The teacher said. The order was random however Edd was the last one to be called up.

"Eddward. You are the final pupil of the day." The teacher led Edd to a room where he saw few other Shinobi and the Kage of the Village Hidden among the Peaches. Momonokage. It was the first time he had ever seen him in person and he was nervous. He did not want to embarrass himself in front of the Kage.

"Eddward. Please make us a shadow clone." The teacher said.

"Yes sensei." The key to chakra is balancing mental and physical energy in harmony. Edd was strong mentally but physically weak. He knew if he became Shinobi he would have to become stronger.

"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Edd used most of his chakra to make the clone as he wanted to make one perfect clone. Smoke appeared next to him. He prayed that next to him would appear the perfect clone. The smoke cleared…

5 minutes later

Edd was walking down the corridor and was told to go into the room with a red marking on it. Nervously he opened the door. He saw Ed and Eddy standing wearing their headbands. Eddy wore his on his pink arm while Ed wore his legs.

"Congratulations Eddward… you graduate." He turned to see Kanon, his new sensei. He had orange hair and orange eyes and wore the same vest jacket as the rest of the Chunin or higher wore. He gave Edd his new headband. "I am Kanon, your team leader and your new sensei." He said.

"TEAM ED WILL BE THE BEST TEAM THE NATION HAS EVER SEEN!" Eddy exclaimed. "I bet you put us together because we all have the same name huh Sensei."

"That was just a mere coincidence. Teams should be able to cover for each other's weaknesses. Ed has great physical strength which covers for Double-D's lack of strength. On the contrary Double-D has great mental strength and covers for Ed's stupidity. No offence." Kanon explained.

"None taken." Ed and Edd said.

"Wait! What about me!?" Questioned Eddy.

"You have the perfect balance. You are not too dumb or smart or too strong or weak. I would say you are a nature born leader." Eddy was satisfied. "However just because you are leader does not mean you can sit around and let everyone else do the work. It is a team effort. Go home and have a good night sleep. We start our first mission tomorrow."

"Yes sensei." The trio left the academy ready for tomorrow. Their first day as a Shinobi
