It was a very special day in my house and in houses just like mine all over the village. Today was the day of the academy graduation exam. I was excited, today is the first step towards accomplishing my goals.
Both mother and father were out on missions this morning, however they both told me that they would be at the academy waiting for me when the exam was over.
I knew that I needed to get ready soon, so I switched out of my night clothes and into my regular clothes. I usually wear a red short sleeved shirt that stops above my stomach with a black sleeveless shirt under it, black pants, along with my usual sandals. My silver hair was a little bit past my shoulders and I kept it back with a black headband. Once I was dressed, I grabbed an apple out of the kitchen and went to the academy, eating while on my way.
When I got to the academy, I tossed my apple core into the trash can and went to my classroom. I wasn't the first one there, which was a relief, I took my usual seat in the last row of seats closest to the windows. We didn't have assigned seats. It was always first come first serve. I tried to get the same seat every day but that didn't always happen.
The rest of the students filled the classroom and took their seats, almost all of the girls fought over who would sit next to Sasuke Uchiha. I get why they like him because he used to be nice and kinda cute but now, he is just angry at everything and doesn't pay attention to them.
Iruka-sensei arrived a couple minutes before the exam was supposed to start with Mizuki-sensei.
"We will now start the final exam. When your name is called, proceed to the testing room. The final test will be on the clone jutsu." Iruka-sensei announced.
We went in alphabetical order, so I was close to being in the middle of the testing. When my name was called I followed instructions and went to the testing room. In the room was Mizuki-sensei and Iruka-sensei sitting at a table filled with shinobi hitai-ate.
"Ren, go ahead whenever you're ready," Mizuki-sensei told me.
I didn't take much longer, I wanted to get this done and over with, I formed the signs and did the jutsu. "Bunshin no Jutsu!" Right beside me, popped up four perfect clones of myself.
"Congratulations Ren, you passed." Iruka-sensei told me.
He handed me a hitai-ate and then I was on my way out of the testing room. All the students who passed were placed in Mizuki-Sensei's classroom since we had to wait until everybody finished testing.
Once everyone was finished, we were released for the day. I was one of the first ones out of the classroom and outside. All the parents of the students were waiting outside for us, I didn't see my parents right away but once I looked further back into the crowd I saw my father's hair. I made my way to my parents and once I was close enough I was engulfed in a hug by my mother.
"My little girl is now a shinobi, I'm so proud of you," my mother, Aya, told me.
I smiled at her.
"Good job, you don't know how proud of you I am," my father, Kakashi, told me. He ruffled my hair while saying that.
I took off my headband and then readjusted it which in turn fixed my hair, we then started walking towards our house.
"So, do you know where you are going to wear your hitai-ate ?" my mother asked.
"I think maybe around my waist, possibly around my neck," I answered.
The rest of the night was composed of celebrating my academy graduation. Tomorrow I will have to get my shinobi registration photo taken, and then the next day there will be team assignments at the academy.
