Chapter 3 : Time before the Summoning

It was still a hot relaxing summer day in the Hidden Leaf Village. And there were still 2 hours left before the summoning for those that had graduated. Each would celebrate or relax before then, or otherwise keep themselves busy, while those that ultimately fail would weep in tears of despair and agony.

(Those that are done with their graduation can post in here to describe their events before the summoning, if they wish.)

When Torame got outside he felt a little bit better, was it because the warm sun on his face or because the birds singing he didnt know. But it didnt matter. Furiously hoping that the Hokage would tell him what it was all about that happend and what he should do next.
When torame got home near home he smelled something delicious. he opend the front door and.. SURPRISE!! , his mother and a few other Uchiha were standing there, all aplauding
His mother got to Torame and gave him a hug, 'Well done my boy' nearly forgetting everything that happend at the accedemie, he smiled and hugged his mother back.
'Your mother is not the only one who is proud of you, Torame' a man stepped forward out of the little crowd, Uchiha Sasuke, 'the entire Uchiha clan is proud of you, lots of us are envious of your mother. Having a son that graduated as early as the age of 9 is exceptional.' He smiled and placed his hand on Torame's head petting him a bit.'But let's eat! you look realy hungry!'After this said everybody took place around the table that was filled with food. after a short prayer and saying cheers for the Graduation and some memorable words for Torame's father the feast could begin.

Sasuke would sigh and look at the clock then stand up.
"Where the hell could he be? I told him to be here." He spoke to himself softly and then grunted displeased.
Torame's mother placed her hand on Sasuke's shoulder.
"Don't worry, he'll come....eventually. And if not then he probably got himself in some trouble again, but nothing he can't handle." She said smiling with a light chuckle.
Sasuke lightened up a bit and sighed relieving some of his stress smiling once more as he glanced back at Torame.
"You remind me a lot of him, did you know that Torame-kun?" The Uchiha Clan leader spoke smiling at the young boy looking back at Torame over his shoulder before turning around.
"Some even call you his second coming, for being an Uchiha and like him graduating the academy at the age of 9 with exceptional grades. Like you he also used to be a very polite and upright boy....buuuut." The Hokage sighed and looked a bit troubled. "The years changed him into a bit of a troublesome young man eventually. I sincerely hope you won't be taking that route as well, for the sake of your mother." He chuckled as Torame's mother shook her head at Sasuke and laughed lightly. "Ohw don't say such things Sasuke-san. Sora-san isn't that bad. He's a very smart and charming boy. A bit of a rebel here and there but nothing bad."

Hearing his name cascading through the halls Shikataro turned around a corner to see the green haired tyke sprinting at him "Yoru chaaan, passed already?" he asked with a grin.

Shikataro eyes shot open in surprise "What kinda test is that? Wait nevermind... let's see Haruno san had trouble hitting but hen she did she hits like a truck... Uzumaki san on the other hand couldn't
dent a piece of butter." His face turned into a mischievous grin. "Don't worry Yoru chan I know exactly how you're gonna graduate. Let's find Uzumaki san...."

Kenshi would place his forehead protector around right upper arm. Making sure it was tight against his arm so it wouldn't fall off. While walking through the hallways he would hear someone yelling. He knew this voice, it was Yorukasa-chan. As he continued walking her voice got stronger. Soon after that the yelling stopped. Kenshi continued walking and then he would spot Yorukasa together with Shikataro.

Normally Kenshi wouldn't go to people and start a conversation. But right now he was so happy that he passed that he didn't really care about that right now. He walked towards the two. "Hey guys, you passed?" He asked as he tried to spot the forehead protectors on his classmates.

The sudden question of wanting to spar with her shocked Kenshi a bit. He didn't know why she didn't pass the first time and also why she had to spar with a freshly new genin. But he couldn't refuse the request of his classmate. She is a bit odd with her poison but everyone deserved the chance to become a genin. "Uhh... sure, why not." He knows that he isn't all that good with sparring, but he didn't matter if he could help his classmate with passing her exam.

"No problem, i'm glad i'm able to help." He said and then he ran after Yorukasa. Room 30, isn't that a dojo? He asked himself as he continued running.

Shikataro grinned and went after them. Like hell he was gonna let Yorukasa flunk.

Tenshi walked outside and looked up at the sky. She was a Genin! Proud she put her forehead protector on her forehead and tied it firmly.
A bit of sadness overwhelmed her a bit cause there was no one she could celebrate with. Maybe Nomaru would like to accompany her later on?
For now, she would wait.

He sighed happily as he walked out of the academy and onto the schoolgrounds. It was about two hours before the Summoning. He could go home right now, but he didn't feel like ti right now, strange really. He knew his parents were waiting for the news, but they would hear it after the summoning, He walked outside and lay down in the grass gainst a tree, enjoying the warmth of the air, he hoped his friends had passed too. He had just missed his two friends, so he would wait here for them to return, and he didn't know of what would go on in room 30.

Having left Room 30, Hayate decided to go out and look for an opponent to fight. No one came to mind immediately. Unlike the other two who had 'failed' their test he wasn't going to try and find someone weak to fight... He wanted a challenge, something he probably didn't have a chance of winning... "Hey, Sumiyaka-Kun" He stood next to the boy staring up into the clouds. "So, I need to challenge someone to a sparring match to pass... I want to give them a show. Up for it?"

She walked outside the school, one hand in her pocket, in the other a cigarette. She stood still for a moment and looked around if Tenshi was anywere.
After a bit she saw the girl waiting and walked up to her. 'Totally nailed it. I even managed to impress them after what you did, for some reason. You owe me a drink, Ten-chan!' She smiled her biggest smiled and for some reason felt good about herself. Probably because she was totally done with this school. Nomaru smoked the rest of her cigarette and made a face. 'I'm proud of you.' She grabbed the package of cigarettes from her bag and lit another one.

The Hyuuga opened his eyes and looked at you. "Hayate-kun" he said, acnowledging your presence. He listened to your request and thought for a moment. "So...you need to spar with someone to prove you are worthy of Genin rank?" he asked, guessing that was the most logical explination.

Tenshi smiled shy at Nomaru her words.

What I did wasn't that special, I even blew it the second try... I knew you would succeed to impress them. You aren't as lazy and dimwitted as people would like to believe. They only see how you act, not how you are. Now come one. I believe you owe me a drink as well!

She smiled brightly. This day was going as nicely as she had hoped.

"Pretty much, I've got to find someone who just graduated and spar with them. Then the Hokage will decide if I should get that headband" He shrugged. "So yeah... We have to meet in Room 30" So for now he was going to just wait for an answer... Otherwise he'd have to find someone else to wipe the floor with.

Sumiyaki thought for another moment. "So you aren't afraid of losing then?" he asked. He had no intention to lose. He had something to prove too, and he wasn't going to lose easily or without even trying. But he thought you had guts asking someone for a sparring match who was atleast equally adapted at hand-to-hand combat. "Then I'll do it." he said after your answer.

The doors of the Academy would fly open and the young 10 year old Sarutobi would come dashing outside exclaiming in a fast and squeeky tone. "Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyeyeeeeeeeeeeesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!"

She would dash by the Hyuuga and Hayate and would then stop in her tracks as she would see Haruno Tenshi and Koui Nomaru walking off the two catching her attention, especially the cigarette in the mouth of her classmate. Something she recognized from her father. Something he always did but her mother told her not to do.
An intrigued frown would appear on her face.

The little Sarutobi would try and sneak around a bit using her free-running skills to jump about near the 2 girls following them before she would jump out in front of them and wave with a gleeful expression.
"Hello!!!! I see you two graduated as well!" She would say cheerfully her hands behind the back of her head as she grinned widely.
"Sooooooo....what you guys up to?" She would ask as her eyes would open and both of them could notice her look of interest going towards the cigarette in Nomaru's hand.

'Well hello Sarutobi-chan,' Nomaru said quit surprised. 'How very very smart of you to pass the exam. I'm sure you blew the minds of all the people in the room.' Nomaru knew how much the girl liked attention. 'Ten-chan and I are going to get a drink to celebrate.' She ignored the interest for the cigarette and smiled at Tenshi. 'I kinda want to visit my parents first if you don't mind. My dad owes me a tattoo. Would you like to join me Ten-chan? They're quit alright. My mom's a great cook and my dad is just a mental case but he isn't too bad either.' She fell silent for a moment and smiled. Usually Sarutobi would annoy her to extremes, but as long as you kept feeding the girl compliments she was easy to manipulate. 'Sarutobi-chan, you can join us as well if -ofcourse - Ten-chan doesn't mind.'

"Ah... no?" Though the idea was to beat these new genin, Hayate wasn't happy with just choosing someone to take down with ease, and he hoped the Hokage would appreciate that. "Awesome, I'll meet you there, we haven't exactly got long" He said before heading off.
