A/N: I'm rolling in reviews!
Sasuke day dreamed as he road on his horse. He was surrounded by other people on horses as well all dressed and armor and headed to the kingdom capital. Where they would be trained to be part of the royal guard or in Sasuke's case a royal priests. A dream he has had since he was 5. When he meet the most amazing being in the world who he swore he would meet again. But he didn't just want to meet them he wanted to spend the rest of his life with them. To protect them and to share life experinces with them. Be he could only achieve this by becoming a priests. Because they were the Great Kitsune.
Sasuke was pulled out his thoughts by the beautiful sight of the capital. It was 4 levels high The bottom level was low class, next level middle class, then nobles and guard families finally on the top level was the castle. (A/N: If you want visual follow this link and the picture that comes up it what the city some what looks like .co/manga/world_customize_ ). Sasuke gasped at the sight. It hadn't been that long since he had seen it but it always took his breath away.
Sasuke heard the guy next to him gasp before he spoke "It looks so beautiful. So this is the place were going to be protecting." He said seeming to be talking to Sasuke. Sasuke thought only polite to answer besides it better to get along with the people he will be working with. "It is. Is this your first time seeing it?" Sasuke ask to make simple conversation taking a glance to his side to get a better look at who he was talking to. He was a tan boy around his age (15) with brown short hair to his shoulders with a had band and a upside down red triangle under each eye.
"No, I came to it for the kingdom Kitsune festival." He said. Sasuke hummed and nodded his acknowledgement to the statement. "By the way what's your name?" The boy ask. "Isn't it polite to state your name first before asking someone else?" Sasuke said in a disattached tone. The boy gave a hearty laugh. "It's Kiba. Now will you tell me your name." He said when he finally got his laughing under control.
"It's Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke answered back. Sasuke could already see that he was going to like this guy. He would be a fun friend to have around in what was definitely going to be a difficult journey in become a priests. "Sasuke? Why does that name sound familiar?" Kiba pondered out loud. Sasuke pretended not to know seeing as he didn't want to be given any special treatment just because he knew the Kitsune. He didn't want them to go easy on him. It would only make him weak.
Sasuke and Kiba spent the rest of the trip talking about there homes and where they came from. Sasuke found out Kiba actually came from the outskirts of the kingdom like him. And that he had also been planning to become a knight at a young age but he hadn't told him the reason. They reached the castle in little time. Upon there arrival they were greated by the general. They were instructed to the yard were they were lined up.
There was a stand where a man stood in front of all the new recruits. He had an air of athuority around him. It didn't seem like a person you wanted to mess with. He began to talk in a deep strong voice that had some of the recruits shaking in their boots. "I am General Zabuza Momochi. I will be your instructor in becoming a soldier. For now you will be doing the grunt work while you train to be a regular soldier. Should you chose to go beyond that you will continue to train and rise in ranks. For a regular to a private, leutinant, general, and maybe even a royal guard. You will be extremely lucky to go past that and become a Holy Priests for The Great Kitsune."
Is was about noon and they were going through harsh training. Three people had already quit and were sent on there way home. Apparently the army had no room for weak people. Sasuke was doing push ups next to Kiba when this had occured. They watched as the man was dragged out by his upper body because he was to exhausted to walk.
"Damn! How pathetic you got to be to quit on the first day!" Kiba said through panted breaths as he did his 150th push up. He was sweating like a pig but had a determined shine in his eyes that showed he wasn't giving up anytime soon. Sasuke on the other hand didn't even seem to be struggling or even sweating. "Well it is better they drop out now, rather than hurt themselves later." Sasuke said.
Kiba grunted in agreement. Before both there attention was drown to the a series of gasp and people dropping in surprise. Sasuke didn't bother to look up until he heard Kiba gasp in surprise to before falling as well. Even catching view of the generals surprised faces. He thought it about time he looked up. He was greated with a sight that explained exactly why they were all in such a state of shock.
There by the yard entrance was a carriage were all four walls was a thin cloth to block the rider from view and allow them to look out. Inside it was the Kitsune.
