In the hidden leaf village we see two people walking towards the ninja academy. One is an extremely old man wearing formal Hokage robes, he has a small goatee and short spiked hair along with three lines running vertically under each eye; this is the third Hokage of the Leaf Village Hiruzen Sarutobi. The other person walking along with Sarutobi is a young eight year old boy with spiky sun kissed blonde hair and whisker like birth marks on his cheeks: he is wearing a black vest with an orange lining, black shorts, and black ninja sandals(1); this boy is Naruto Uzumaki. As Naruto walked down the road along with his grandfather figure he tried to ignore the usual glares from the villagers he passed, however he could not ignore the whispers- "Can you believe that they're actually letting that thing attend the academy?" "I don't understand why the Hokage doesn't snap out of it and kill the damn demon" Naruto was used to these kinds of remarks made by the villagers, but they still stung. Sarutobi saw that Naruto was starting to get depressed so he tried to distract him from the villagers, "So Naruto, are you excited about joining the academy?" Hiruzen asked the young blond. Naruto simply smiled at the old Hokage "Sure am Jiji, but could you explain what I'm going to learn… I sorta forgot" he replied while laughing nervously near the end. The third Hokage simply chuckled and answered the young Ninja to be "Well first you will learn the history of our village, than you will learn the basic taijutsu, ninjutsu, genjustu, as well as basic kenjutsu." The Hokage stopped here to see Naruto reaction and as he expected Naruto's face scrunched up like he ate something sour "All that sounds so boring" he whined. The aged Hokage once again chuckled "If you believe so, then maybe you wouldn't want to join the extra class?" Sarutobi asked, Naruto nodded his head quickly "If it's anything like those other classes than no thanks Jiji" Sarutobi grinned at this "Even though that it was because of what this extra class teaches is how great ninjas like the fourth Hokage were made?" he asked Naruto who in no time flat did a complete 180 and started walking faster to the academy with Sarutobi keeping pace with a smile on his face. When they finally reached the academy the Hokage introduced him to his teacher "Naruto, this here is Iruka Umino. He will be your teacher until you graduate". Iruka has black hair that he keeps in a ponytail, dark eyes and a scar across the bridge of his nose which he has had since his youth. He wears the standard Konoha shinobi outfit complete with forehead protector, sandals and flak jacket. Iruka looked down at Naruto with a smile and kindly introduced himself "It's nice to meet you Naruto; I hope I can be good teacher for you. If you have any questions feel free to ask me." Naruto smiled back at Iruka and replied "Well, Jiji told me about his extra class here at the academy, could you tell me about that?" Iruka face became shocked and looked towards the Hokage who gave him a nod. Iruka then faced Naruto again an answered his question "well this class isn't for everyone, you must have a special 'gift' that not many have. If you do then those that teach this class can teach you how to use this gift in ways that rival Jutsu. In fact even if you fail the Shinobi portion of the academy you can still pass if you pass the extra class" Naruto was amazed by this and greatly hoped he would be able to join this incredible class, but he still had one more question, "what do you call this class?" Iruka gained a very serious face when he answered Naruto's question "the name of the class is… Ways of a Shaman"
