Konoha sat peacefully underneath the mountains, resting in the shade of the five faces that had been carved into the stone. These were the faces of the five great hokage, the champion shinobi that proved themselves the sworn protectors of the hidden leaf village. The first hokage had built the village; the second hokage was a powerful ninja that had set his heart to become the next great protector. The third hokage, a legend, had trained the three greatest shinobi, the sanin. The fourth hokage had saved the village from the demonic terror kyuubi, or the nine tailed fox. Though he died sealing the beast within his son, naruto, he was still considered the greatest hokage the village had seen. Now, the fifth hokage, tsunade, was chosen by the village just after the sound ninja attack. Tsunade, being one of the legendary sanin, had been chosen for her incredible fighting styles, and her medical abilities.
The village was peaceful at first glance, but if you looked into the academy, you would see that the village was quite busy. It was the graduation day for many students, who were becoming genin. The chunin brothers and sisters, and the jonin parents were all congratulating the graduates. But, apart from the large crowd sat a boy, with short black hair, blue eyes, and a scar across his face in a diagonal pattern from his left eyebrow, down to his right cheekbone, just barely missing his eye. He wore a black shirt, and cargo shorts. On the back of the shirt was printed a sign of his family insignia, a dragon doing aerial dynamics, creating a large "S".
This boy did not sit alone because he was sad, or had failed. He sat alone because he did not have any parents or siblings in the village. His mother died when he was 4 years old, on a high risk mission to escort an herbalist to the land of snow, needing to cross through the plains village territory, which was not a necessarily safe thing to do. His father was still off on a mission in the mountains
to discover the whereabouts of a great shinobi, uzamaki naruto, who had gone missing a few days before the graduation.
Suddenly, a girl with blonde hair that just barely stuck out under her bayonet, detached from the group and ran towards him, followed by who appeared to be her father. "Ryubi! Congratulations! I graduated too!" the girl called, still running.
"heh, I see that" Ryubi replied, gesturing towards the leaf village's forehead protector attached to the bayonet. "Looks good on you" he continued.
"Really? Thanks! Oh, by the way, where's yours?" She asked him, looking confused at his head
"You really can't see it? You need to be more observant, semime" her father now said, having been listening in. "it's tied to his right arm"
"Huh? Oh! Now I see it, sorry Ryubi" Ryubi just chuckled, and shrugged "it's alright semime"
Then, a new voice spoke from behind, this a deep, rough voice. "Ryubi senme, semime zimano. You have been summoned to the second floor main classroom for a meeting, in which you will find out who your teammates and squad leaders are."
As Ryubi turned, he saw the familiar face of his sensei, shikamaru nara. He wasn't wearing his green supply jacket, just his black outfit, with his forehead protector attached to his right sleeve. Ryubi knew not to sit too long, so he got up and walked towards the entrance to the academy, with semime following close behind.
