Kota walked on the paved streets of Konoha. He never smiled, because Konoha wasn't where he originally was from. He was from Kumo, the village hidden in the cloud. He had just moved here due to an incident between the two villages, and it forced him to leave his two bet friends behind, Yugito and Tayuya. Strangely enough, another incident involved was also the reason why he had to move.

Orochimaru had tried capturing him, as well as Yugito. Orochimaru had taken Tayuya, now she was as good as dead. Kota didn't believe so, as he believed Tayuya to be strong. As for the reason why Orochimaru wanted him, it was because he was a secret child of the Sinju Clan, being able to use the Wood Style was proof enough as well as his blood.

Today was his first day attending the shinobi academy. He wanted the chance to unite both Kumo and Konaha so that he would be able to have visits with Yugito once more, but most of all, the chance to kill Orochimaru for what he's done to Tayuya. He reached into the Kunai pocket and grabbed one of then, looking at his reflection, narrowing his eyes at it. He then started twirling the kunai in his hand, to trained eyes, they could see the movements, but to most, it was too fast for them to keep track.

After a few blocks of walking, Kota through the academy doors. Kota took the schedule that the Hokage had given him to see which room he was supposed to be. Class 1: Homeroom room 205. The room was straight across from him, the first door from the entrance.

Kota pulled open the door to see the class already full with kids and three teachers, one of which seemed to be lecturing the class. "Are you Sinju Kota?" Asked the teacher with a large scar across his nose

"Yes." Kota said with an emotionless tone and expression.

"You're an hour late. It is unacceptable for any shinobi to be late! Now sit down." He demanded, with Kota shrugging as it wasn't his fault that he was late, he had to walk from one side of the village to the Hokage's office, then straight here.
'So much for a warm welcome.' Kota thought glanced at the clock that now read 9:00 A.M. He then looked for an open seat and saw the saw two empty seats. One was in the back row between a pale-eyed girl and what looked like a boy with a pineapple on his head. The other looked to be where the duck-butt haired kid was who looked board. He walked up to the back and sat between the Pale-eyed girl and the pineapple kid.

"As I was saying the life of a Shinobi is cruel and…" The teacher continued, with Kota looking at the girl.

"What's your name?" Kota whispered, wanting to make some friends while he was here, and what better way than to start with the person you are sitting next to.

"Hyu- Hyuuga Hinata." She stuttered quietly.

"Senju Kota." He introduced, keeping his eyes forward. "What's is our teachers name?" He questioned, folding his hands and leaning on them to hide his lips.

"U-Umino Iruka." She whispered back, with him nodding.

"Our courses will include History, math, strategy, weaponry, and jutsu, since the period is almost over we're going to let you kids have a fifteen minute recess, then we'll have history in this same classroom." He announced, with some of them cheering, followed by another kid walking in and making his way to the other seat, with most of the kids glaring at him, must be because he was wearing orange.

Later

Kota exited the building out the back door where many people were already sitting in groups on the grass. Everyone seemed to already have friends before coming into the academy. Over in the shade of a tree he spotted the pineapple haired kid from class sitting next to the fat kid. Kota also noticed that the fat kid was eating chips.

Walking over to them, he looked up at the tree. "Hey, you mind if I take a nap up there?" Kota asked, looking down at them.

"Go ahead?" The fat kid said questioningly, not sure why the boy before him asked such a question.

"Thanks." Kota replied as the very root of the tree came out of the ground and lifted him up, where he then climbed in and laid down.

"I'm Akimichi Chouji, and this is Nara Shikamaru." The fat kid introduced, looking up at Kota with a bit of a shocked look while Shikamaru gave a lazy nod of recognition.

"Senju Kota." Kota introduced, placing both hands behind his head while he laid down. Though, it wasn't long before Iruka called the kids back in to start their first history lesson.

Later

In history class Kota, Shikamaru and Chouji were sitting in the desk in the far back left corner of the room. "I thought becoming a shinobi would be way less troublesome." Shikamaru muttered in annoyance.

Kota nodded, spacing out as he was board. While the class was going on, Kota spotted the orange clothed kid open the window next to him. While Iruka was writing something on the blackboard, he ran for it. Rolling his eyes, he ignored him and went on with his day.

Kota will not have a team but a personal trainer, the only other wood style user there is. If you don't know, then shame on you.
