Early in the morning with the birds frolicking in the morning sun, Houshou left his apartment for his first day of class. Houshou jumped from roof to roof making his way to the academy. On his way, he saw many kids leaving their homes and heading in the same direction towards the academy. Houshou stopped just short of the academy grounds on a tree overlooking the academy. "Was he fooling around with me?" thought Houshou as his eyes gazed upon the Academy and its students as they entered the building. Houshou quickly jumped from the branch towards the academy, leaving behind blurred images as he moves. Houshou made his way towards the main office of the academy to receive information about his status as a student. As soon as Houshou entered the office, the secretary instantaneously recognized Houshou.

"Young man I was told to give you this note" said the secretary as she showed Houshou a folded paper and continuing to type with one hand.

Houshou politely took the note and then quickly sat on a bench to his right and began to read the note. The note said for Houshou to head over towards room 305 and answer a few questions. Complying with note, Houshou made his way upstairs towards the room. As soon Houshou, set foot in the Room Houshou noticed several faculty members sitting down on small wooden chairs facing the front of the row.

They were the same members who were at the meeting last night, "Before we can place you in a class we would like to know your current ninja skills" said Maku.

The faculty members asked various questions ranging from performing basic Ninjutsu techniques to answering basic ninja knowledge. Houshou was able to answer each request the faculty members had by either answering or performing the selected technique. Houshou was then asked to leave the room, for the faculty members to discuses his performance.

"I still have my doubts maybe we should ask him about Chakra" said one Faculty member.

"I think it would just be a waste of time, obliviously if he knows how to do Bushin No jutsu and other Ninjutsu techniques he obviously know how to use his Chakra let alone know what it is. I think it's a mute question he will answer it regardless, I believe he should enter the class which is graduating within two weeks" said another Faculty member.

"Fine, we might be here all day let just vote on it, majority wins. Should we allow Houshou to enter the next Graduating class?" said Maku.

The faculty members nodded their heads agreeing with the selection. "Those in favor of having Houshou join the graduating class raise your hand," said Maku.

As Maku counted the number of hands raised, his eyes widen noticing that he would be the tiebreaker. Maku slowly raised his hand "What am I doing I can't let him graduate, not now at least" thought Maku as he lowered his hand.

"Well there you have it gentlemen." said Maku before a fellow faculty member interrupted him.

"I'm sorry but I was thinking about my choice, but I'll vote for Houshou to enter the class," said one faculty member as he raised his hand.

"Looks like Houshou will enter the graduating class" said Maku

Houshou then received a second note by Maku and was told to report to the classroom 203. "What the hell, am I getting the run around here," Thought as he raced down a flight of stairs towards room 203. Houshou knocked classroom and slowly waited for a response from inside. Inside, a Chuunin was giving a lecture before the knocking interrupted her. The Chuunin was perplexed by the sudden interruption of her class.

"One moment please" said the Chuunin as she walked towards the door.

Houshou quickly handed her a noted and, after reading the note she nodded and gestured Houshou to enter the classroom.

"We have a new student with us, and his name is Hiasho Houshou," said the Chuunin as Houshou walked in front of the classroom. "Please take a seat so we could continue the review for this afternoons test," said the Chuunin as the class began to mummer among themselves. About half of the class recognized Houshou immediately, and whispering to each other about how Houshou spied on them as they practiced ninjutsu techniques while the other half of the class failed to recognize Houshou.

Several hours had passed and now the students were now taking the same test that the Chuunin mentioned. It seemed nearly everyone was doing well, perhaps because the review took place at the same day as test. However, a few having trouble with the test despite it being a multiple-choice test, including Houshou. "The answers mostly deal with Chakra and survival questions," thought Houshou as he nervously looks around the room as if he was looking around to cheat off, for his test was completely blank. However before he could copy any answer from a fellow classmate the Chuunin quickly glances at Houshou and begins to write something down on a clipboard. Houshou quickly noticed the Chuunin's note taking and immediately returned his eyes onto his test. With the clock, winding down Houshou began randomly answer the questions without hesitation. Only a small percentage of the questions asked on the test were in the portion after Houshou entered the class during the review.

With the test graded and posted on a bulletin board early next morning, Houshou was at the bottom of the list with 65 percent barely passing the exam with the lowest grade of the class. In addition, as graduation nears, Houshou failed to improve on paper portion of the exams. Three weeks had passed since Houshou took his first paper exam and now the entire class is now gathering in classroom with their forehead protectors on for orientation.

The room was fashioned as any classroom in the academy with stadium style seating with desk for each row, the room also held a spectacular view of the Hokage memorial. The students seem to gather in large but separate clumps, each clump of students gossiped among themselves about various topics from boys and girls to shinobi. However, Houshou sat alone in the back not engaging in any conversation with the other Ninjas. Houshou had his locked his hand together with his elbows the table with his forehead protector wore in the traditional fashion. A slight creek could be heard as the door for the classroom. Entering the class was female student in blue outfit similar to Naruto's orange outfit without the distinct symbols. The girl wore her head protector overlapping two large tress of hair running down each side of her cheek, with the rest of her hair hiding the knot of the head protector and her eyes were similar to Haku. The other students suddenly placed their conversation on hold as the girl uses her hand to brush her hair.

The students returned to their conversation as the girl closed the door behind her. She made her way to the back of the room and sitting down next to Houshou. "Why, are you so antisocial with everyone," asked the girl with a cheerful voice.

"Because I was unwanted since the day I was born, and I will always be an unsolicited member of the hidden village of Leaf," responded Houshou without so much as the simple gesture of turning his head.

"Maybe if you didn't have such a cantankerous demeanor you could have made some friends," said the girl in response.

"I'll let you in on one piece of information; I rather have the earth be scorched by the flames of hell, and the lives of my family taken away while I helplessly watch their slow and painful death with their calls for help echoing in my head. Then to be friends with you," replied Houshou with a callous voice, leaving the girl speechless.

"You better watch it that's Onsui-Chan you're talking to, she is this year number one rookie," said the young boy sitting in the row in front of Houshou as he turned around in his seat.

"If she is this year's number one rookie she could obliviously defend her self. So go play with your self somewhere else" replied Houshou with hint of annoyance.

"Listen let make it perfectly clear if you piss me off one more time I'm going to rip your heart out while it's still beating and make you eat it" replied the young boy as he jumped on to Houshou's desk and was now in his face.

"If you think you're so tough then do something about it," replied Houshou obliviously with the intent of accelerating into a fight. The boy quickly clenched his fist and was about to punch, but instead he quickly hesitates, "Obliviously you don't know who I am, I'm the number two rookie; Hyuri Kanpeki" said smiling as a crowd gathered the around the three students.

Elsewhere a group of Jounin and the fifth Hokage Tsunade were watching the events unfold in the classroom through a crystal ball. One Jounin in particular seemed out of place, at the age of 15 she was much younger then any other Jounin. "This year genins might be interesting," she said in a low voice.

Meanwhile back in the classroom a column of smoke suddenly appears in front. As quickly as it appeared the smoke dissipated revealing a Chuunin, "I will not tolerate fighting in this classroom, I don't care starting today you're all real ninjas. You are still genins; you still have much to learn what it means to be a Ninja. Now everyone please find an empty seat or you will be disqualified as ninja," said the Chuunin grabbing the student's attention with an irritated voice.

The Chuunin once again started as the students found a seat. "You be divided into three man teams, and each team will be assigned a Jounin- sensei to complete missions with."

"Three man teams" instantaneously thought both Onsui and Kanpeki.

"We tried to balance the teams out, so here the team we decided," said the Chuunin as he took out a list containing the names of the teams.

"Dam, I doubt me and Onsui-Chan will be part of the same team. It would severely imbalance the teams," thought Kanpeki.

"I hope I'm not teaming up with Onsui or Kanpeki, anyone would expect for that Yokozuki," thought Houshou as he glances at a member of the Hyuga clan wearing aloud-Hawaiian shirt.

A few minutes had passed as the Chuunin read the teams aloud.

"Now for team 7, the members are Hyuga Yokozuki, Tensai Onsui." said the Chuunin pausing for moment to take a sip of water.

"Only ten names left, there might be a chance I'll end up with Onsui-Chan," thought Kanpeki eagerly waiting for the third name to be announced.

".and Hiasho Houshou" said the Chuunin continuing from where he left off.

"Dam that bastard," thought Kanpeki as he glances at Houshou.

"Great is just what I need," thought Houshou.

"Now for team 8, Hyuri Kanpeki, Akimichi Himanji, and Fuutake Jing" "How does it feel to be a member of Onsui-Chan's team," Said Kanpeki as he turned around to face Houshou remembering what Houshou said about being part of Onsui-Chan's team.

"Well my suffering is subsided with the fact that I took your dream of being part of Onsui team" said Houshou as Kanpeki clenched his fist.

"Team 10 consists of Inuzuka Yaban, Kangosotsu Hiyaku, and Subayai Neko. That's it for teams, please meet your Jounin sensei at the appropriate rooms located on the chalkboard" said the Chuunin as a cloud of chalk dust covers the chalkboard. As the dust settles, the chalkboard, which was empty, now the team numbers and different rooms for each team were magically written on the chalkboard. Again, with a cloud a smoke the Chuunin quickly disappeared.

With the Chuunin gone the students began to leave their seats some were excited and left for their appropriate rooms. Those who stayed remained compared teams and gossiped with each other. Himanji seemed overweight even by Akimichi family standard, meanwhile Jing seemed in sharp contrast with a slim body for festival dancer. Yaban wore grey coat, with a young German Shepard puppy along his side. Hiyaku meanwhile had grey shirt with a green vest along side with her camouflage pants. Neko had wore, blue jeans and black t-shirt matching his dark hair, however his feminine appears often cause others to confuse him for a girl.

Onsui, Yokozuki and Houshou were among the first to leave to meet their Jounin sensei in the appropriate room. However, two hours had passed without their sensei arriving and all the other students had left with their sensei.

"Man this suck balls, I wanna be a Ninja already. Hey Onsui, now we're part of the same team I was wondering wanna go out and get lunch together some time. Maybe Monday." said Yokozuki.

"Um.. I'm washing my hair Monday," said Onsui obliviously trying not to hurt Yokozuki's feeling with her reject Yokozuki.

"So how about.." Said Yokozuki just as being interrupted by a creek the door made as it opened.

Conversely, instead of a person opening the door and walking in a small ball rolled into the classroom. With baffled faces, the three classmates stared at the ball as it made its way towards the chalkboard. Without notice, the ball explodes launching four kunais tied to bundle of cloth in four precise locations with two in the ceiling and two on the ground. As the Kunai spread apart, it unraveled the cloth revealing a small eight-year- old girl hidden inside, also on the cloth contains the words written in kanji "Team 7's Jounin Sensei Ryuuou Kousoku." The small girl named Kousoku had blond hair and blue eyes with a small green outfit similar to Sakura.

"What you were expecting someone else" said Kousoku
