Mori Nobunga had to refrain himself from yawning out loud, after recollecting the five barely interesting years of being an academy student. As geniuses in the shinobi arts, Nobunga and his hot-blooded pink-haired friend Hage-chan easily excelled through the courses with the highest scores at the tedious academy. However for whatever reason, Nibui purposely became the dead-last of the academy for about the remaining four out of five years of learning. However Hageshi Gozen didn't like this sudden decline of improvement, and was on his case about his grades whenever she viewed him slacking off. This is easily seen, by her now irate reproach of Nibui low written test scores and barely withstanding the genjutsu test all the while walking to the final test.
The lazy genius started to look at the birds passing by in boredom, as the annoyed rose-haired girl continued to lecture the bashful Nibui on his work ethic, until the group of academy students finally arrived at the open field for physical exams.
"All right future shinobi here's the final part of the exams: Taijutsu sparring, kunai/shuriken throwing, Transformation Jutsu (Henge no Jutsu), Clone Jutsu (Bushin no Jutsu), Body replacement Jutsu (Kawarimi no Jutsu), and 3 D-E rank elemental Ninjutsu." The purple haired chunin sensei said warmly as he looked at the class with pride. He always enjoyed teaching future shinobi, and hoped that they would all grow to pursue the passions as they find their role in life. Even those without seemingly any ninja talents he assisted with great dedication, attributes which made him popular amongst his students.
"Yes Baioretto-sensei" the graduating class answered back with respect as they began the tests.
The first test was a Taijutsu spar with a Chunin in a small circle. The rules were simple, you had to last at least three minutes to pass, and if you lasted a full five minutes without being knocked out or thrown out of the ring you get one hundred points for the individual test. Usually the undertrained, overconfident and arrogant civilians evidently barely made the three minute mark for completion. On the other hand, the more sensible and dedicated civilian academy students usually lasted four minutes. Due to the severe lack of clans in the village, there was hardly anyone worth mentioning in the exams that could be named. Hageshi fiercely went against Baioretto first, lasting four minutes and twenty seconds until she was rung out. Nobunga reluctantly went next, with his taijustu strategy of evasion and pressure point strikes lasted four minutes and fifteen second before being knocked out for a while. Nibui went last, and to the shock and surprise of many (including Hageshi) lasted a full five minutes against the talented chunin. To his great pleasure, he decided to display his unique taijutsu mixture of strong fist style and the improved planet trade organization fighting style to mess with his classmates. This is style of the great use of great speed, strength and methodical strikes to skillfully dodge, repel, and strike Baioretto all the way to a draw. The class who passed was rewarded with great praise from their sensei, as they moved on to the next text.
The next test was the ten kunai/shuriken throwing test. It was by all means, simply hitting one of the ten dummies vital points on the field from a great distance ten times with each weapon. Each bullseye from either kunai or shuriken was worth ten points out of one hundred.
Many of the overcompensating civilians barely made sixty out of hundred with shuriken or kunai, however the devoted civilians did better above the range of seventy out of hundred. Hageshi a weapon expert in many forms easily got one hundred out of hundred points with both weapons, with no effort whatsoever. Nobunga went next, as he lazily chucked the kunai and shuriken at the targets, getting an eighty five out of hundred along with ninety out of hundred points respectively. Nibui went second to last, obtaining a seventy out of hundred points for kunai and eighty five points for shuriken despite his great effort to exceed again. Baioretta again showed his affection through his energetic applause, as he then began to prepare for the last test of the final exam.

They were now waiting for the ninjutsu test, as the chunin gathered together and began the final test. It was no surprise to the trio, when a significant amount of academy students were called to the backroom and few came back with black or blue Kusagakure headband. Due to the struggle for academy funds from the village, the jutsu scrolls and practices were cut in half. The lack of jutsu scrolls forcing the students to share what they got from the academy, and memorize the scrolls extensively in order to practice them in private to master several element scrolls along with the basic three. This method worked great, for weeding out the slackers from the hard workers and the prodigies in the class.
Hageshi gulped nervously, as she impatiently waited in line to finish the test quickly in order to calm her nerves. Ninjutsu was easily her worst subject, with her usually requiring the help of both Nobunga and Nibui to learn it. After what seemed like an eternity, she was finally called back into the room with a word.
With the grace of a monkey on stilts, she barely manages to henge into a copy Tsunade, substitutes with a chair near the examiners, and makes two adequate clones by her side. Wasting no time at all, she makes a small E-rank Lightning Release: Lightning Ball Jutsu(Raiton: Kaminaru-kyu no Jutsu) which shoots a small but fast ball of electricity that connects with the dummy knocking it over. Following up with that strike, she creates a bigger E-rank Fire release: Fire Strike Jutsu(Katon: Kasai sutoraiki no Jutsu) which release a medium size volley of quick bullets at the next dummy burn it significantly. Then finishing it all off, with a great D-rank Lightning release: Lightning bolt Jutsu(Raiton: Raikurai no Jutsu), with several slow hand signs releases a moderate size lightning bolt at the dummy, knocking the last one down and leaving electric burns all around it.
Due to her passing execution she obtains a black headband, wrapping it around her neck with pride. She walks out of the room and gives an encouraging smile to her friends, while she sits back down happy at being one step closer to being a great shinobi one day. Nobunga nods back slowly, and then walks off to complete the test with conviction hidden in his lazy eyes.

Nobunga substitutes with a chair in a corner, does a perfect copy of Nibui, and easily made many clones at once. For his first jutsu, he does a flawless E-rank Wind Release: Wind Spear Jutsu(Futon: Kaze no Yari Jutsu) a swift thorough spear shaped wind that struck the dummy dead on. With little hesitation, he launched a noteworthy D-rank Earth Release: Earth Pillar Jutsu(Doton: Asupira no Jutsu) which after hitting the dummy quickly knocked it across the room. He finish it off with a perfect D-rank Earth Release: Earth Entrapment Jutsu(Doton: Chichu maisetu no Jutsu) which imprisoned and crushed the dummy at an above-average pace. He sighed as he received the blue headband, remembering how difficult was to obtain the wind jutsu and master it as he walked back to the class.
With a small nod, he sat back down and sat down next to Nibui as way to tell him he's next. He then feigned sleep as Nibui left, watching to see what else Nibui would do to surprise him.

Ginyu substitutes himself with a chair near a corner, made a near-perfect copy of Freiza (which obviously confused all of them), and made many clones at once. Quickly he spits an small E-rank Earth Release: Earth Spit Jutsu(Doton: Dosha no Jutsu) which rips a hole in the dummy quickly. Next, he fires a significant D-rank Fire Release: Fire Bomb Jutsu(Katon: Hi no bakudan no Jutsu) which positively blew the dummy into a thousand pieces. Finally, he shoots a near-flawless D-rank Wind Release: Wind Petals Jutsu(Futon: Kaze no hanabira) which strikes the dummy with multiple leave like cuts in several areas before launching it one hundred meters away. With a fairly smug smile, Ginyu receives his black headband as he heads back to his friends. Before the trio can celebrate, Baioretta sensei clears his throat to get the newly head banded academy students to listen, and tells everyone to get to back to the Academy for his speech along with new genin teams. Nibui, Nobunga, and Hageshi looked at each other than without a word walked back to class in comfortable silence.

"Class, please gather around and listen to me for one last speech". Majority of the remaining class gathered around him in the classroom with respect in their postures, all were eager to listen to his patented speech.
"From now on, you are no longer academy students stuck learning the basic of the shinobi way, but are on the path of being great shinobi. However, even though you are no longer in the academy, never stop learning and growing. The world is large and without a doubt you will encounter obstacles in all sorts and sizes. So don't stop learning, and don't be afraid to mistakes in order to grow from them. Just remember when you put that headband on, while you may gain the privileges of being an adult you inherit the responsibilities as well, so be cautious of what you do know as it might reflect your entire career. As a shinobi of the grass, grow into a source of pride for the village and don't decay with the stink of hatred." He said with great passion in his words, as the students gave a round of applause at his inspiring words.
"All right now team one is…" Ginyu and Nobunga simply ignored the rest of the teams, waiting until their names were called.
"Team 7: Nobunga, Hageshi and Nibui your sensei is Nojo Moyasu. Please wait here, your sensei will be here shortly to pick you up."
The three all had separate reactions to the events they endured: Nibui had a dumb grin on his face signifying his happiness at passing; Hageshi had a look of determination in her eyes to do better in ninjutsu, while Nobunga was the only one thinking about their teacher.
"We all have to do better if we are going to complete the genin test, you guys know that right." Nobunga said after the several minutes of independent silence.
"Yeah, we'll become better from what we learned and celebrate later" Hageshi said with a dead-serious nod.
"Right, let's show our new sensei what a handful we are" Nibui said all the while he internally made plans to use his new rank to his advantage.
"Team 7"
All their talking stopped instantly as their sensei came in at the least expected time.
"My first expression is you seem interesting, come meet me on the rooftop in five minutes" the jonin said as he body-flickered away.
The newly dubbed Team 7 looked at each other then looked at the door, whether they knew it or not tommorow would be a difficult day.
