The faint smell of blood. Red spots on the ground. The sound of skin going against skin. A thud, indicating a fallen fighter. Shouts of despair. Somebody shouting for help. Another person yelling, making the crowd part to let him through. The sound of shuffling feet. Somebody kneeling down, looking at the fallen fighter over. Then, same somebody calling for an ambulance. A few murmurs, then silence.

"Well? Where's the damn ambulance?!"

Sirens. Medics rushing, crouching down and taking the fallen student onto a stretcher. The slam of the ambulance doors, then the vehicle driving off. A man with long, spiky, white hair spoke, voice thundering over the quadrangle, seeing as every student present has their traps shut. He was the same person who looked the student over.

"Auditorium. Now. Don't even try sneaking out, we're all checking attendance. More than once. Randomly."

Groans were heard, as were shuffling of feet toward the auditorium.

"This has got to stop. Another student was sent off in an ambulance. He's the third one this week, and it's not even Friday afternoon yet."

It was a sunny Thursday morning, the minute before the administrators of Konoha Academy went to the auditorium to once again, lecture the whole school. Another brawl has occurred between gangs, and one member of one of them was sent to the hospital, bloody and helpless.

"Who was it this time?" asked a woman with blonde hair tied into two ponytails: Principal Tsunade.

"Abumi Zaku. His girlfriend, Tsuchi Kin, is in the infirmary, crying her eyes out. Tsunade-sama, this whole . . . gang thing, it has to stop. I know we aren't the ones responsible for this, since their parents said so themselves, they tried to reprimand their own children and stop them joining these gangs, but my conscience is killing me!" the man outside a while ago, Vice Principal Jiraiya, replied.

"So is mine, somehow. What do you think, Shizune, Kakashi?" Tsunade asked the school's most trusted advisor, as well as her secretary.

Shizune, a woman with short jet black hair and loyalty to Tsunade that far surpasses anyone else's, looked at Kakashi, a man with unruly silver hair, who was yet again reading porn, as he does everyday. The former nudged the latter, getting his attention. She grinned at him, and, seeing the mischievous twinkle in her eyes – NO, not like THAT, HENTAI! – grinned as well. And, as if they discussed what they were going to say – which they did, by the way – both replied, grinning.

"Merging."
