Hana nervously looks around at her surroundings. She's a little seven year old. Her father is hanging from a noose, and men are lighting the rope on fire.
"Forget ALL the bad things I've done, and love me in my last moments!" He pleads, looking at Hana.
"I love you, daddy!" She cries out.
"Never give up. Never give up on what you believe in!" Her father yells at her as he closes his eyes.
"I won't! I promise!" She shouts back. She runs to Kyo's house, and knocks on the door. "Kyo, Kyo, Kyo!" She shouts.
"Hana? What...YOUR HAIR it's BLACK!" Kyo shouts as his eyes widen.
"I'm never speaking to anyone ever again!" Hana shouts, tears pouring out of her eyes. "They took my mom, and my dad, but they're not taking me! I'm not talking!" She shouts.
"Hana..." Kyo sighs.
Hana's brought back to present time by a poke from her friend, Kiyoko.
"Hana? Daydream much? The bell just rang! The exams starting!" Kiyoko says, sounding kind of exhausted. Hana smiles, and races inside the ninja academy. She snags a seat next to Sasuke, just to rub it in Kiyoko's face. Hana's one of the rare children that don't have a crush on Sasuke, but likes to tease other girls about it.
"Hey, Hana." Sasuke says, glancing at her.
"Hi, Sasuke." She says, grinning at him. Hana turns around, and smugly smiles at Kiyoko.
"SHUT UP." Kiyoko mouths. She makes the L shape with her index finger and thumb, and points it at Hana.
"KIYOKO! Stop making rude gestures!" Iruka shouts, noticing. Hana bursts out laughing. "Is there something you would like to share, Hana?" Iruka questions, shifting his gaze from Kiyoko to Hana.
"No, sir. Sorry." Hana says. She instantly stops laughing.
"I'm passing out the exams now. Keep quiet, and NO cheating! If I catch ANYONE doing so, they will automatically fail!" Iruka threatens as he starts walking around the room.
The exam passes, and Iruka collects the exams. He goes to his desk, and turns to the class.
"Your exams have been graded by the machine called the KH1600." Iruka says, smiling hugely.
"Hey, my initials! Cool!" Kiyoko says.
"As I was saying, this machine grades exams with high speed and accuracy. The groups are based off a certain balance of high and low scores. Starting with squad five..."
"Hana, Kiyoko, Kyo." Hana pleads.
"Kiyoko, Hana, Sasuke." Kiyoko pleads silently.
"Kyo, Hana, and Kaori." Iruka says, looking down at a sheet.
"That worked out well. All except for me not being with Kiyoko!" Hana complains as she sighs.
"Squad seven...Naruto, Sasuke, and..." Iruka says.
"Mememememe!" Kiyoko silently pleads.
"Sakura." Iruka says, looking up at the class.
"Dammit!" Kiyoko shouts. The class looks at her, but after she glares at them, they all turn away from her.
"Squad one...Kiyoko, Haruki, and Keitaro!" Iruka shouts. Kiyoko looks up with a confused look.
"Who the fiddlesticks are Haruki and Keitaro?" She questions. Iruka names off the rest of the squads. They all go off to meet their jonin's, and complete their first training exercises.
