Then came Monday morning, the day that Nao said his training would begin. Shun was definitely nervous to even wake up, his interacting with the Hokage still fresh on his mind. He wondered how his clanmates were doing, if they were alive and well outside of Konoha now that they had turned away from the village entirely. The thought of them hating him for his decision came to mind briefly, but he shook it away as he got ready for the day. His father was up bright and early as well, excited for his new position and step up in the world of Konoha. There was a plate of breakfast waiting for him on the table when Shun appeared in the kitchen. He sat down and began to eat, thanking his father for the meal and watching as Shuichi prepared his lunch. "Are you excited for today?"
"A bit nervous," Shun admitted. He knew that it would only get harder from here, and while he was indeed terrified of what was to come, he was also quite excited about it. "I just hope I don't mess it up...I've come this far, you know?"
"Well, better start the first day right then," Shuichi spoke with a smile. He turned to Shun, slipping the boxed lunch into his bag. "Don't be late on your first day. I'll have dinner, but if you decide to stay out late I'll pack it up and you can eat it later."
"Thanks, dad," Shun replied with a grin. He finished up his breakfast, stood and hugged his father, then made sure he had everything he needed. He slipped his bag over his shoulder and gave his mother's sword a small adjustment where it was settled on his hip. "I'll be sure to let you know how it goes when I get back." Shun made his way out of his house and into town, not stopping to sight see this time since he had somewhere to be He knew he would arrive early, but early was better than late.
He ended up in front of the Byoin about ten minutes before he was supposed to be there, stepping inside and asking for Nao since his teacher probably wasn't out waiting for him just yet. He was led into the facility, and he greeted Nao with a big grin. "Great to see you again, Nao. I look forward to learning with you."
