~Prologue~

This story takes place fifty years after the death of the last canon character from the Naruto series. It is time for a new generation of shinobi to take the place of the old,time to show that the next generation has got what it takes to carry on the Will of Fire.


Running through the village at top speed,a young boy of twelve,with dark blonde hair,almost brown. His eyes where dark green,he was tall for his age,and had average weight. He wore a dark blue jacket,with black over the shoulders,and an open white collar. His pants were black,and he wore a white cloth band over his forehead,with the Konoha symbol drawn on it. His name was Kyusei Onigetsu.

Kyusei was on his way to the Ninja Academy,late for the final graduation exam. So he was running as fast as possible,which wasn't too exceptionally fast.

When he entered the classroom,he wasn't as late as he'd though,only ten minutes behind. "Sorry I'm late!!",he said with a laugh. "You wouldn't believe what happened!! You see,this old lady had some sacred old scroll,and two evil Akatsukis were trying to steal it!! I beat them down,and came as fast as I-"

"You are such an idiot. I know you are my best friend,but really? You think anyone would believe that?",Kisuke Tensai said. Kisuke was Kyusei's best friend,but was the first to criticize his lame excuses. He had long black hair down to about his shoulders,and deep blue eyes. He was taller than Kyusei,and weighed about the same. He wore a cool jacket,black with a red collar and covered the shoulders. It was sleeveless,and he wore stylish bandages on his arms from the elbow to the wrist. "First of all,it's not Akatsukis. That just sounded stupid. Second,they Akatsuki no longer exists,and third,you couldn't even beat sensei here,and he's half as strong,maybe,as an Akatsuki member.",he finished.

The sensei,trying to ignoring the comment on his level of ability,but was clearly irritated by it,said,"Well,you are in time for the exams at least,and don't keep up the stupid excuses,they never even make sense."

Jun was their sensei,he was very tall,standing at about 7 feet and three inches. He wore the usual clothes for most chunin,and had long blonde hair,past his upper back,and brown eyes.

A pretty young girl stood from beside Kisuke,and said,"Come sit over here Kyusei!!" Don't get the wrong idea,Asuka is only Kyusei and Kisuke's female friend,she makes sure everyone understands that.

Even though she is only twelve,she's very pretty for that age. She has hair just past her shoulders,dark brown,and brilliant bright blue eyes that shimmered like ice in the moonlight. She wore a short light blue shirt that revealed her stomach,and black shorts,that stop just above her knees. She has wears a black wristband on each arm,and a black band just below her right shoulder.

Kyusei nodded,and sat by Kisuke. "I wanted you to sit by me.",she said,and almost looked embarrassed,"Not for that reason!!",she shouted to the people nearby who looked suspicious. "I have something to show you both.",she said.

Moving over there,she pulled a stack of small square papers from her shuriken pouch. "I got these from my dad. He said,if you pour chakra into them,they react a certain way to reveal your chakra nature. I thought it'd be fun to find out ours!",she told them both. "Alright,if the paper burns to ash,its fire. If it splits in two,its wind. If it crumples up,its lightning. If it turns to dirt,its earth. And if it dampens,its water!",she explained.

The two boys nodded and each took a paper. After Kisuke held it,the paper crumpled up. "Humph,lightning then. Not bad.",he said calmly.

Asuka did the same,and her paper burnt to ash. "Fire!! That's pretty cool.",she said excitedly.

Kyusei took his paper,and it split in two. "Nice,wind!!",he shouted gleefully.

All three were happy with their natures. Then they heard the door open,as people had been going in and out for their exams. "Alright,Asuka Nushi!!",Jun-sensei shouted.

Asuka looked nervous. She stood nervously,and started to walk down to the room. "Wait!!",Kyusei called after her.

She turned around,and tried to look calm. "Y-yeah? What is it Ky-Kyusei?",she asked,unable to stop her hands from shaking.

Kyusei ran down toward her and brought Kisuke with him,as he pulled out a marker. He took the marker and marked the kanji for,"team" on each of their palms. "Their,if we get nervous just look at this kanji,and we'll remember that we've got each others support!!",he said with a proud,friendly smile.

The two smiled without thought. Asuka smiled and hugged them both. "Thanks,both of you,for your support.",she said happily.

The two smiled,and she went on her way. It was a few minutes later that she came out,and smiled holding up her Konoha headband. Kisuke and Kyusei smiled,and nodded. She sat by them again,looking pleased with herself.

A few students later,Jun-sensei came out and said,"Kisuke Tensai,you're up." Kisuke nodded,and looked back at Asuka and Kyusei with a look of determination. When he came back he too had a Konoha headband.

Then it was Kyusei's turn. He entered the room,and saw the table with Konoha headbands and bandanas on it. "Alright,for this exam we want you to show us the transformation jutsu,and the clone jutsu. Understood?",Jun-sensei told him.

Kyusei nodded and formed the hand seals,then said,"Transform!!" In a cloud of smoke,he transformed into a young wolf,and howled to the proctors. After they showed their approval,he returned to normal. "Now,"he quickly performed the hand seals,"Clone Jutsu!!" Then one clone appeared,and he was missing some hair... "No,um,just kidding!! One more try,for real!!",he said quickly.

Kyusei formed the hand seals,and focused hard,gathering up chakra. He could've sworn he heard a wolf howling,but continued to focus. The chakra shot up around him,it was pure silver,and twenty perfect clones appeared. "There,perfect!!",he said,not sure what just happened.

Both proctors looked awestruck. Jun-sensei spoke after a few moments,"Well,you pass. Take your headband." Kyusei took a black Konoha headband from the table,and left the room.

After it was all done,Jun-sensei emerged. "Alright,we meet here tomorrow to assign your squads. Be here.",he told them. Then,looking at Kyusei specifically,he said,"And don't be late!!"
