Naruto: Dawn of a new era.

“You too” Keiko responded, with a smile


Rocking back and forth on her heels she remembered where they had just come from and decided to ask him.


“So which one did you choose?” she asked, motioning back to the class


She took a few steps closer, just to make the distance not so irritable to other people or make anybody stand between them.
 
Trying to hold back from laughing, Keiko nodded her head happily, giving him a toothy grin.


"I'd even pinky promise" she joked.
 
Masa looked at her new friend Hao, and smirked.


"See you on the other side."


Standing up, a piece of paper in her hand folded many many times till it was barely a half an inch in size. On it, was written a single word. Dropping in on the desk she moved towards the door, flipping hair out of her face as she stared at the man waiting for them.Thinking on her choice, she wondered if she had done right in choosing what she did.


Ninjutsu....is that really what I want?
 
Takeo looked around,then leaned in close,and said in a hushed tone, "Genjutsu and Taijutsu guaranteed. With Ninjutsu on the side if I find the time."
 
Frowning at him, she quirked her brow


"But the teacher only asked for one" she noted,


"She might go crazy if another student doesn't listen to her" Keiko warned, although joking.
 
Takeo shrugged. "I want to learn as much as I can. That way,when I become a true ninja,I'll be ready for anything."
 
nejiru put his hand down and took out some paper and pen, he then wrote his awnser on the paper.


he got up and moved to hand the paper in. he thought to himself as he put the paper on the desk "taijutsu is definatly the way i wanna go".
 
Keiko smiled, it seemed like he really wanted to be a ninja


"Yeah" she sighed, than continued


"Let's try our best, Takeo-san!" she said, making sure to be polite.
 
Takeo was stunned by Keiko's display of respect. It was the most he ever recieved from anyone in his life. "Th-thank you,Keiko-chan. We shall."


Takeo then tilted his head to the right;a sign of utmost respect.
 
The teacher explained much on three and soon he was teleported into a room. From there he was directed to type what he wished to learn.


On the paper he scribbled "Taijutsu Mastery". He folded it three or four times and placed it on the teachers desk as he walked by. From there he walked with the others up to the door.


"Are we done yet?"
 
Nodoca finished her book, stood up and walked to where they were told to. She didn't fold the piece of paper, just placed it down with her name and Ninjutsu on it. She had pulled another book out of her bag.
 
Coro cracked his knuckles. The only techniques he wanted to learn were ones he invented. That would be problematic, seeing as he was only a student, and kinda stupid. He was already good at Taijutsu for someone his age, and decided to write down Taijutsu and Ninjutsu on his slip of paper. He figured two couldn't hurt. He'd seen other people write two things on their papers.


He strolled over to where he was supposed to stand after placing his paper with the rest, his name on it and unfolded. He glanced over and saw Nodoca reading, and then noticed the gangster girl from earlier. She'd been rude to him, and rude to that poor stuttering girl from earlier.


Coro's eyes narrowed a bit, and he decided he didn't like her all that much, before putting his hands in his pockets, and looking bored again.
 
As Riyoshi lifted his head up and off the desk, he seen that there was already a line waiting at the door. Reaching his hand up, he rubbed his forehead and stood up. Walking over, Riyoshi placed his slip of paper upon the teacher's desk before joining the line.

"All right maggots. You are to follow me closely. I do not want to hear any whining." The male shinobi said as he turned and opened the door.


Walking out, he turned to his right and headed for the back of the school. Coming upon the door, he opened it and revealed a large field. The field was wide open and had a river at the far side.



"This is where you guys are to be. Here you will train your skills. the stumps to your left, are for shuriken practice. The training dolls to the right, taijutsu practice. The river in the back, that is your safety boundary. Just do not cross it." The man said again as he pointed for the kids to go out and practice.


~~~~



Riyoshi smiled as the man said they could practice. Riyoshi thought to himself that he could show off some taijutsu that he had. It was not a lot, but he had some moves up his sleeves. Walking out the door, Riyoshi made a bee line straight for the training dolls to try some taijutsu.



 
Coro immediately grinned. An idea coming to mind, he walked through the area, going towards the river.
 
Sighing, Masa staked her claim on one edge of the training grounds, away from everyone else and sat down, cross legged. Her hands quickly went to work, moving through all the different hand signs repeatedly. After all, it was the basis of all ninjutsu and genjutsu moves.
 
nejiru was slightly confused when he got outside to the training area. after the sensei showed them where things were he noticed one boy head toward the water and another to the dolls.


nejiru decided to follow the boy heading toward the dolls, he ran up to the side of the boy, "hey are you training in taijutsu also."
 
Nodoca removed her gaze into the world she was reading about and placed it onto the world in front of her. She frowned expecting special training or something. Not more of the same. She saw one girl, the one from earlier she thought, unsure, go towards a spot all alone. She decided to do the same and move to a spot where she could practice her hand signs taught to her by her now dead mother. She decided to continue reading while doing one handed signs. Though not expecting anything to happen for obvious reasons.
 
Takeo saw the field. He saw training dummies,and tree stumps scarred with hundreds of shuriken marks. He also saw a flowing river. He turned to the shinobi,and asked, "How strong is that river's current,sensei?"
 
When the straight-laced teacher-guy had finished his explanation of the field they were in, Keiko went off towards shuriken practice. It seemed like no one was going to go there, and her aim was quite terrible, so she needed it.


Taking a few from the pocket reserved for the objects, she spun one of the small objects in her hand and then threw it at the target. Unsurprised that it missed the log completely, she followed it up with about five more, one of which hit the target…on the edge.


She sighed, this was going to take a while…
 
Nearly dozing off completely, Hao failed to hear the sensei's question but he was rudely awoken out of his nice slumber thanks to all the noise and fussing going on around him. The classroom was filled with anxious people, clearly thinking about important stuff.


No idea what to do he thought he'd just copy Masa and see where that would lead him. It's probably just some lame written test or something. Noting that Masa had written " Ninjutsu " on her slip of paper, Hao did the same. Then proceeded to mimic the others in going to the front and placing the paper on the sensei's desk.


After doing that he wanted to sleep again but everyone gathered around some unknown male shinobi so he figured something was either going on, or the test wasn't over.


Following the classmates and shinobi outside to a training area he saw Masa taking off in the distance. She probably wanted to be alone but Hao needed some answers and considering the shinobi called them " maggots " ... he wouldn't be too helpful.


So he scurried off to find Masa, tracked her down and started sneaking up on the handsign-practicing tiny. Close enough to pounce now he suddenly leaped forward and grabbed her by the waist.


" GOTTA CATCH'M ALL! POKEMON! "
He shouted with a triumphant singing tone in his voice.
 
Striking the training dummy a few times, Riyoshi focused and sped up his punches a little more. Riyoshi was deep in thought as he struck the dolls, unaware of the student walking up on him. As the kid said something, Riyoshi jumped and missed the incoming attack from the swinging arm. As the wooden arm struck him above his brow, it had cut him. The cut itself was not that bad, he just felt dumb that he jumped.


“Agh, what the..” Riyoshi muttered as he covered his face.


Shaking his head a few times, Riyoshi started to uncover his face to see who it was that scared him. Seeing the kid from earlier, Riyoshi left his hand over his left eye and looked at Nejiru.


~~~~


Looking down towards the kid, the shinobi took in a breath and prepared to scold the kid.


”It is strong enough to sweep you away and down towards the kage mountain falls.” The shinobi said as he looked back up towards the river.


~~~~


Just as soon as the male shinobi got through with his sentence, the trees that lay on the other side of the river’s edge started to shake. The ground underneath the student’s shook with the giant foot steps. The sound of cracking trees could be heard from behind the line of trees. As the sound neared the river’s edge, there was a loud, deep growl, followed by the barrier of trees cracking. Out of the forest came a 50 foot tall gorilla. Stopping on the side of the river, the giant beast looked at all the shinobi before roaring at them.
 
Takeo's eyes widened in terror,and his jaw dropped in awe. I don't care if I'm supposed to stay here,or if that thing's contained! I'm outta here!


Takeo quickly turned around and ran,leaving the field behind him. He wasn't about to stay behind and get slaughtered by a rampaging monster.
 
Ichi had been punching the test dummy a few times. It didnt really hurt, and as an attempt to show off, his foot came up and he kicked the dummy in the head karate style. Though that was triumphed over then the sound of crashing trees and a huge gorilla appeared on the other side of the embankment.


"Holy Mother of ... Can i fight it?!"


The boy ran and jumped towards the river, hoping to confront the epic beast himself. It would be his pet.
