Madame Yan walks passed Yura and Arita before stopping in the doorway.

"Say bye for now and let the children come with me." With her back facing everyone she begins to wait.

Arita and Yura walk to there children and give them hugs.

Yura looks into her son's cool light purple eyes. "Zitsu you're going to train to become a ninja ok? Make sure you listen and be obedient." Her eyes begin to turn red "Mommy won't be able to see you every day but know I love you, ok?"

Looking at his mother's teary eyes he feels the burning pain in his chest again. Reaching out he hugs his Mother tight.

"Ok, Mommy I love you" His eyes water as well, without him knowing he developed a real connection with his mother.

"Are you ready?" Madame Yan's voice comes from outside.

Yura and Arita lead their children outside.

"Chojuro listen to the nice lady ok?"

"Ok, Mommy" he answers with tears in his eyes.

"Zitsukani try and make some friends, you're always so quiet. Mommy will come to see you in a month ok?"

He slowly nods his head "Ok"

"Come kids" Madame Yan begins walking away.

Yura and Arita push the kids to follow. Zitsukani begins to walk forward, but Chojuro looks back every few steps.

Seeing his actions Zitsu looks back one time and sees his mothers crying face. Taking a deep breath he presses forward.

Walking down the path a whole new world comes into view, as they walk further he sees that all the cylinder buildings are connected by a stone pathway. Walking on the pathway he is able to see the mountains below.

The mountains are covered with trees and grass, a vibrant color of green, being close to the water the wildlife here grows without restraint.

"Just keep walking straight and you can't get lost."

Madame Yan smile as she watches the kids walk past her. Looking at their back her smile fades, raising her fist into the air she raises a finger and draws a circle in the air.

A ninja silently jumps up from below clad in full black, with a Kiri headband. He bows slightly and runs in the direction from whence they came.

A glint flashes through her eyes as she looks at the back of the children, the corners of his lips curl as she picks her pace back up.

As they walk further they pass through a few buildings, some residential districts like the one they came from, and some were shops and restaurants instead of rooms.

As he walks the one thing he notices is how poor Kiri looks compared to Konoha.

"I'm tired" Chojuro begins to complain after walking for so long.

Zitsu frowns slightly as he sees tears well up in the corners of his eyes. Closing his eyes momentarily he checks his stamina, seeing that it is still over 80 he assumes a normal child only has around 20 stamina. Looking back he notices the somber expression on the woman's face. Clicking his tongue he leans forward and extends his arms backward.

"Get on" looking at Chojuro he tilts his head back.

Chojuro's eyes light up as he climbs onto Zitsu's back. "Hehe, you the best."

Hooking his arms under Cho's knees he continues to walk.

Yan's eyebrows raise slightly seeing one child carry the other, slightly pleased.

After walking for a few more minutes they get closer and closer to the giant building in the center of the village. As they do the mist gets thicker, even though they should be getting further from the water.

They come upon a split in the path. To the right is what appears to be the Mizukage building, and to the left is a medium sized stone cylinder building off on its own.

Unsure of where to go he looks at the old woman.

Feeling the boys look she doesn't even flinch. "To the left."

Nodding his head he continues walking to the left. As he gets closer he sees the words Academy written on the building, seeing that a wide smile creeps on his face completely out of his control.

Seeing the building Chojuro increases the grip on Zitsu.

Madame Yan passes the kids and walks inside. "Follow me."

Entering the building a thick smell of blood floods his nose. In the back of the room are three large pictures of the current and previous Mizukage. To the right of the room, a middle-aged ninja sits behind a desk, in front of him are a series of unrolled scrolls. The right of the room has a staircase leading down.

The ninja has a severely scarred face and his right eye is completely white and blind. He's wearing a black and blue checkered shirt with his headband around his neck. His hair is completely black and slicked back.

Seeing the people walk in he quickly stands up.

"Madame Yan" With a respectful look in his eyes he stands straight as an arrow.

"Taketa these are the last two for the experimental class, take them down." As soon as she finishes speaking she turns on her heels and walks away.

Watching her leave zitsu frowns slightly, the name experimental class doesn't sound good.

"Follow me brats" Not wasting any time Taketa begins walking towards the stairs.

With Chojuro on still on his back, he follows. Walking down the stairs for a bit they come across a door and more stairs leading down, loud screams and classing metal can be heard behind it. Continuing to descend the stairs for a bit they come across another door, behind this door synchronized yelling can be heard but no clashing metal.

After passing two more doors they finally reach the bottom of the staircase and one final door. Light sweat covers his brow, closing his eyes momentarily the stamina drain shocks him.

[Stamina 23]

Sure he was carrying another person, but they must have gone down at least forty stories. Looking at the door he places Chojuro on his feet.

"I'm scared" as he's put down he clutches Zitsu's hand.

Glancing at him for a moment he decides not to stop him.

Taketa walks forward and opens the door, revealing a large open space. The room has ten other kids around one but no more than two years old. Four teenagers stand in front of the kid, the thing they all have in common is the Kiri ninja symbol somewhere on their body. Besides the open space, there is a door in the back of the room with the words dorm written on it.

Seeing the people in the room a devilish look appears on Zitsu's face, and he subconsciously squeezes Chojuro's hand a little harder.

Taketa leads them into the room and lines them up with the rest of the kids. Nodding to the four teenagers he turns and leaves.

One of the teens steps forward lightly and looks at the children. The teen has messy gray hair that spikes up on the left side but lays flat on the right side. His eyes are completely pink with a giant stitched scar under his left eye all the way down to his chin. He's wearing a gray bodysuit with chain mesh sleeves, on the front of the shirt is a Kiri symbol on his abdomen. A green sash is wrapped around his neck and a green belt around his waist. A green apron hangs around his waist and brown boots on his feet.

"You may not know why your here." A young sounding voice comes out of his mouth.

"But the Land of water is in a time of need. Usually, you have to wait until you are five to enter the academy, but by then it will be too late. I could talk more but none of you will really understand." his pink eyes scan the children and their panicky faces.

Zitsukani is trying his best to keep his head as low as possible to hide the smile trying to creep onto his face.

"My name is Yagura Karatachi, and I'll be instructing three of you."

Zitsukani glances sideways at the other children. Besides Chojuro and himself, there are six boys and four girls.

Yagura looks over the crowd and selects two boys and a girl, choosing only the kids that looked the oldest.

While he was selecting Zitsu tried to look as meek as possible.

The three children he picked stepped forward. "What are your names, introduce yourselves."

The oldest looking boy puffed out his chest. He has short brown hair, brown eyes, and a square face. "I'm Koji Suguro, from the Suguro clan." sounding super smug he looks at the other children.

The next boy to step forward is very pale, has green spiky hair, and blue eyes. "My name is Taisho and my dad is a ninja." As he mentions his dad the pride in his voice is heavy.

As the boys finish the girl of the group steps forward. She has shoulder length blue hair and dark black eyes. "Hi I'm Eire" She begins fiddling with her fingers, to shy or scared to say more.

"Good, come stand behind me." Yagura walks over to the side and the three kids follow him.

"Ok! So I'm next" a teenage girl steps forward.

"I'm Mei Terumi, and I'll only be picking boys." A smile blooms on her face.
