Time to make a choice [Class]

[Yasu]

Mikasa Sensei answered each question with the same grace she always seemed to have. She even shot Yasu an apologetic smile noticing the mix up with his name that put him at ease. The other teacher, Yukio Sensei sat back and waited for Mikasa Sensei to finish addressing the class. As soon as Mikasa had addressed to class to the best of her abilities Yukio Sensei took over. So he is the guy who is going to talk about the Ambu. Yasu had always found the Ambu fascinating, mainly because so little is known about them. I cant wait to hear what he has to say. Really? Don't the Ambu do a lot of fighting? Doesn't sound like your cup of tea. Well we don't know that for sure.

"first of which is the Assassin's "

Yasu slouched in his seat. Told you. Will you shut up. You're distracting me. Plus he said three branches. That's just one! He perked back up eager to prove Hibiki wrong.

"The next is my area of the branch more commonly known as the inquisitors, our duty is to gather information"

Yasu scratched his head in confusion. Man that's no good... Staying focused is not a strong point of mine. How can I gather information if i cant focus. What about interrogation? ...You mean like torture? No no no using your Genjutsu. Even Mokuba Sensei says you have a gift when it comes to it, and technically you aren't hurting them. They just think they are hurting. I mean... I guess that could work. What do you mean you guess? You used Genjutsu of that shop keeper when you met Akuma didn't you? I guess youre right, but lets keep our options open.

"The final area would be the diplomats"

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yasu tilted his head down and grabbed the side of his head with his left hand. WHAT!? THAT WAS SO LOUD AND NOW I HAVE A HEADACHE! Hibiki fighting though his laughter. Im sorry, Im sorry, Im sorry. Its just I just got a hilarious image! Like you get an assignment to make peace with the Hidden Sand right? You go and become all buddy buddy with the kazekage, SO much you guys go get food and he has something stupid like a peanut allergy and he accidently eats something and he dies! Still fighting through the laughter and at this point tears as Yasu sits in his class, unamused by the story. THen you have to come back and are all like, I guess we are at war with the Hidden Sand and everyone is asking why and you are just yelling I DONT KNOW! Yasu turns to Sora "Would i be to much to ask for you to punch me again..." I see it so clear! YOu are in the Hokages office like, Why dose this keep happening!? "Like as hard as you want."

[Uchiha Asuka]

“Thank you, Mikasa-sensei.” Asuka bowed once her question was answered. Everyone had a different question that just gave away more details about the med branch, it was also a surprise that Mikasa did partake in all three branches. She was right, having knowledge of all impeded stupid mistakes to be made.

Now came Yukio-sensei, the teacher who had also taught her about the basics of Jutsu, their different traits and how to create a formidable weapon. Asuka admired this man and cared for him for 1. Giving her advice on this to come, 2. Pretty much saving her life. Just as Mikasa, Yukio deserved all the attention that she could provide (even though her attention span could be compared to a squirrels).

Firs, Assassination branch. This intrigued Asuka to no end, how can someone be deemed dangerous enough that the village have to send a squad to deal with the menace? Wouldn’t it be more… humane… just to send them to take the person in? Why does it have to be death on the spot? But well, Asuka couldn’t exactly change the policies of the ANBU they obviously had their reasons for using such tactics, maybe some individuals were strong enough and stubborn enough that death is the only option available to them. To be completely honest, Assassination squad didn’t call her attention that fondly, it just seemed… too much of an exaggerated measurement to deal with a threat. Kill he individual rather than subdue, she understood sometimes measures like that have to be taken, but does it really have to be for every individual? Isn’t it better to look for other alternatives? Either way she would need more knowledge and be in a higher position if she wanted to have any say in it.

Secondly were the inquisitors (really cool name). The people in charge of gathering information and interrogation. Now this caught her attention, she wondered what merit had to be met before someone was deemed worthy of interrogating. And Asuka was sure that the interrogation tactics the village used were not pretty, she had heard multiple stories and rumors of some tactics the leaf used back in her village. In her younger years Asuka didn’t pay much attention to them since it seemed so far off and something she wouldn’t be capable of doing, now though… it might as well be a requirement for her. It might as well. She also wondered what were the limits of a man or woman during an interrogation. How were does limits met? How can someone train to be strong against interrogation? Especially being interrogated by an inquisitor with a lot of experience in that specific field. It must not be pretty to be one of the prisoners and she prayed to the gods she wouldn’t fall into that position.

Diplomats, this confused her a bit. Asuka though diplomats weren’t a part of the ANBU simply people who were in charge of keeping the village international relations on the level desired by the council. Whether that be a good thing or bad. But it did seem an impressive move, sometimes words spoke more than actions, and having someone who could influence others easily could rally people to their cause. Whether it be for good or bad intentions. Asuka did wonder if the differences between cultures played any part of this, but her question simply got answered by common sense. People believed in many different things thanks to their experiences and how they were able to grow because of those experiences. How they took a bad moment, they moved past it or overtook their lifes with feelings of hate and wishing revenge. Every culture was different and the diplomats, who most probably only argued having the interest of Konoha in mind. It made sense.

Asuka sighed, this class opened up more doors than she thought it would, it was interesting but it did make her wonder what type of problems did the village have outside of its gates for it to grow using tactics like assassination and interrogation, was it really that bad outside? She would have to see for herself. Now Asuka waited for the next part of the class.

[Naragaki Sora]

As always, Mikasa Sensei's serenity cannot be matched, and Sora can feel his despair dwindle with ever word spoken. Her reassurance of the fighting prowess and skills of the mednin was satisfying enough that he was content with listening quietly as the other questions were both posed and answered. After several minutes, however, Mikasa passed the torch to Yukio Sensei, who stepped forward from his lurking behind the Sennin, and took a very assertive and imposing approach.

Sora felt the energy around the man change and realized that Yukio had not been demonstrating his true nature; concealing his chakra enough that he was approachable. Now, however, he paced back and forth, a heavier note in his voice and his step. He began with explaining who he was and his position; Hyuuga Yukio, ANBU captain and head of the inquisitorial section of the ANBU. ANBU, short for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai, or Special Assassination and Tactical Squad. Not a lot is known about them, other than they're always with the Kages, and they have super cool masks... Sora almost questioned if everyone should be allowed to see his face, but then a couple thoughts crossed his mind. Firstly, he couldn't see his face anyway. And second, if he was the captain, he could probably afford to allow his face to be seen, considering how strong he'd have to be. Not to mention, he probably has hidden guards around...

Yukio started flatly with the most expected, most violent, and to those who didn't know too much, the most appealing, of the subcategories; Assassins. The idea of being someone who "took down bad guys" for a living was just about everyone's childhood dream, but that's all it was; childish, and a dream. Taking another's life had severe consequences, no matter how "bad" the person was, that left emotional scars on everything and everyone. It was not a prospect that Sora was that interested in.

The next one was the inquisitors, who did the interrogations and intel gathering. This seemed very interesting to Sora, and also fun. Ever since his vision worsened, his abilities manifested stronger with each passing day, and with training, he was sure that he would have fun eavesdropping on some sly politicians, or discerning if one was lying from the change in their heartbeat. I could get behind that... He thought with a smirk.

Finally, their were the diplomats, who escorted public officials, and maintained relations with foreign dignitaries. This also seemed like something Sora could manage, what with his new powers of infusing chakra into his voice, but it didn't have as much of a catch as the inquisitor did, or as anything in the medical field, really. Suddenly Yasu was leaning over and whispering to Sora, asking for him to punch him in the face. hard. "What, no, I.... Shut up, I'm trying to make a decision." Sora was now completely thrown off by Yasu's insanity, he had forgotten what he was trying to decide between.

After Wukong asked his question, however, Sora remembered his, and spoke up. "Do the ANBU still operate as they did in the early years of Konohagakure, or have they changed their approach to terrorist situations and the like?" Sora wanted to know if the seedy underbelly of The Leaf still existed as it once did, or if they also had reformed, compared to their older counterparts mentioned in the history books and records. The idea of being able to simply overthrow his sister as the head of the clan was almost to tantalizing of an idea.

[Rozu Akuma]

"Good question, Akuma-kun. We allow the freedom to choose any topic, as long as you can give concrete evidence of said research being beneficial to the village. However, I can safely safe that I do not see this being restricted, as sample gathering of those particular items are of great importance.".

"Thank you, Sensei." Akuma sat back in his seat mulling over some ideas he had for his future. That might be what I'm looking for. The male instructor after introducing himself stepped forward proceeded to explain what the ANBU was.This could be interesting.

"Similar to the medical branch the ANBU are split into three sub branches the first of which is the Assassin's their duty to hunt those deemed a threat by the village and remove them from the picture entirely no if's or buts about who they may be."

Nope.

"The next is my area of the branch more commonly known as the inquisitors, our duty is to gather information whether that be finding important documents or interrogating those brought in as prisoners the way it's gathered will rarely be brought into question safe to say the first requirement for this area is a set of flexible morals and the will to do what needs to be done."

I couldn't get information out of anyone Kumo would kill them before I'd get a word out. Scratch that one.

"The final area would be the diplomats, those who maintain relations between villages while the other two sub branches go about their business the ability to persuade and reason with those who may question what we do."

That sounds like it deals with more humans. No thanks. Not even close. Akuma decided that the research sub part of the Med. Corp. would probably be the most calm. He could venture to different lands and gather information about the wilds of other places to find a better way to preserve them and keep them free of poachers. Going through these classes are the first step of course.

[Shirai Sadao]

Looking over the class the Hyuuga was curious what was going through each of their minds regarding the branch no doubt some would already be contemplating the positives and negatives of the position, others would hear the concept as cool not seeing what it truly meant to be part of the ANBU and some may have already realised what it meant diverting their attention away considering what it truly meant. Hearing the questions put to him some were interesting others were just what he had expected given the rather brief description of each section of the branch yet it would not always be as simple as doing the duties allocated.

"To answer the more unique question posed to me, yes the families, friends, and lovers of those you've been assigned to capture or kill will more than likely pursue you the need to exact revenge is a rather basic human reaction to such things. I won't deny you'll hear many stories of this occurring and should you become a part of the branch it will most likely happen to you as well." Walking forward between the desks the remaining questions could be answered as a whole a simple story of his own experiences being the best way to explain what it meant to be in the branch.

Coming to a stop there was a slight sigh before he spoke attempting to think of the best way to describe it. "So you wish to know how the branch operates, what it takes to be a part of our ranks well then, in that case, the easiest method would be to explain my own experiences to you though I can't go into the major details as you would expect at this point." With a slight pause and a deep breath, he recalled the series of events going through each scene in his mind.

"When I was younger the branch was not structured this way you did what was required of you without question no matter what, in those days I was called in after a disturbance in the village though we lacked the information to do anything about it as such a man was captured and brought in for interrogation, the circumstances of his capture are non of your concern." This would usually be the case when discussing branch activities scattered details of how and why things were done though he was normally an open man always willing to speak on matters to assist in the process his hands were tied at this moment in time.

"When i entered that room the first thing that struck me was the smell the scent of iron hangs in the air no point in cleaning a room when the vision of whats about to happen can sometimes be enough to get even the strongest soul to snap, if we aren't so lucky their life is in your hands." His concentration seemed to drift the captain speaking less to the class and phasing out into recollection. "At that moment it doesn't matter who it is or what they have done the task is clear break them, bring them to the brink and back again life hanging by a thread never quite being cut."

Another pause, another breath and another moment as the image became clear. "The first thing that strikes home is the screams, the pleading the cries for help, that feeling of hopelessness knowing no matter how much they cry out no one will come. Minds and bodies slowly cracking and splintering until their lips part to give the answers required without question. Promises made you will never keep a game of deception and false hopes until the last light fades from their eyes." snapping back to reality the Captain paced back to the front of the class speaking as he went.

"This is something all who join the branch will face at some point down the line, things aren't as simple or set in stone as doing what you wish and trying to avoid what you can't deal with. If you don't think you can stomach what we ask of you then I warn you now don't try and make your way into this branch, if you think it's 'Cool' or 'Interesting' then you are looking at things the wrong way. When we come to test your skills we expect the willpower to do what must be done no matter the cost, and to work with others willing to do the same questionable tasks"

He let the facts sink in reality was harsh and knowing that from the outset the Hyuuga sought to make them realize the same thing it would not be a matter of simply going where you wish or doing what you want, the branch would decide the path walked on based on skills and personality traits it was as simple as that breaking the silence with a final statement. "the last branch to speak on is the Main branch the faces of leaf and the first point of contact within the village."

 

[Uchiha Takeshi]

Takeshi allowed himself to slide on the Hokage jacket, before heading out, it didn’t take the Hokage long to walk threw the corridors of the academy, this was where he had first started his journey, he had been part of something special and he knew full well about this. Takeshi investigated each of the rooms as he allowed himself to smile for a few seconds as he remembered full well what it was like to be in the class room. Knowing full well that this would decided to them what their focus would be on. Takeshi had been given a time to appear by his Son and he would turn up as he allowed himself to rest his hand on the door handle he brought the smile back to his lips as he turned the handle and opened the door stepping into the room full of students and walking to the front of the branch.

“I see you were just getting to my point Yukio, well I won’t hold you up much longer, I will get threw my point and then vanish on you. Hello class as most of you are aware I am the forth Hokage, Uchiha Takeshi. I only have a short time, so I will try and get across the importance of Main Branch to each of you, I have no doubt that the two experience and excellent teachers here today have gone threw there branches as well with each of you.”

Takeshi allowed himself to pause as he inclined his head slightly in respect first to Mikasa, one of his trusted Sennin and a medical genius though he would never give her the credit to her face. Yukio was next the up and coming Captain had a bright future and had experienced most of his life learning form the Hokage. As he turned his attention back to the class for a few seconds before speaking about the Branch.

“For each of you considering to join the Main Branch let me inform you of the work, but first a little bit of advice, the main branch is the backbone of every village, it’s the working force that has passion to lead teams, to go and explore different lands and to have the opportunity to develop themselves into a Shinobi that is the first person seen by visitors from all over. Its potential for development is limitless and you can prove yourself to everyone here.”

Takeshi had the small pet talk to begin with though the truth of the matter was that the Main Branch had opportunity spilling out of it, it was just down to anyone to step up and prove their experience, as he considered the proposal of the branch he decided to see the reaction from the students.

“Main branch is divided into three different sections, Hokage Guard, Konoha Security and then the Journeyman, each of these sections to the Branch are able to offer you something to develop into. Now I will just touch on each of these branches. First, I want to make a small statement, I was taught by Hokage, Sennin’s that was the upbringing I had, I always had someone to look up to and as such I have decided to offer students that choose to follow the main branch the same call. I have decided that I want to pass on my experience this team will be made up of the three candidates that are lucky enough to show potential. Its something to consider now back to the talk on the branch itself.”

Takeshi allowed the pause to go threw as he allowed the students to take the offer, the potential of joining his team it was something that normally wasn’t offered but he enjoyed the challenge of trying to take on a team.

“The Hokage Guard is pretty self-explanatory, an elite group that will be the entourage of the Hokage, guards to him and to make sure that he is safe, considered the elite fighting force of the main branch you will be required to prove yourself and undergo intense training and prove yourself as one of the best out there.”

“Konoha Security is the bread and butter of this village so to speak, in charge of internal and external security for the village they are the ones that deal with a wide variety of domestic threats and are used to investigate all matters than come to hand. Including the duties of gate guards and monitoring the law breakers of the village you are the sentinels of the village in this role.”

“Finally, is the role of Journeyman, these are the select few that want to pursue this path will become teachers at this very academy, others will become mission experts. This select group are those that are expected to face a wide variety of challenges in your careers. Often as mission leaders teaching Genin in the field as parts of more advanced operating units.”

Takeshi finally finished speaking, it seemed that Kenshin and Shinzo had already been busy preparing the branch and making sure that they started off with a solid foundation. Takeshi was more than happy with that and knew full well that the students had a great opportunity in front of them.

“Consider these words, if you ever want to talk about it or do anything else, please find myself at the Hokage Mansion and as well as coming to see the Sennin’s in their offices. I want to take this time to remind each of you, that everyone that spoke today has sat in those seats, has started off there at one time or another. This is your future think about this hard and I look forward to seeing you as the next generation starting your journey. Who knows maybe a future Hokage is sat among you even now as we speak.”

With that Takeshi turned on his heel and walked out of the lesson leaving the students with there teachers once more to consider all the options.

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

The Medical Sennin merely awaits in silence, allowing the ANBU Captain to explain the different divisions within the field of hidden operatives; the same courtesy Yukio showed for herself. Much to her surprise, the recent inaugurated Hokage Takeshi, arrives to explain the significance of the Main Branch. Bowing her head respectfully, the kunoichi continues to wait patiently, all the while finding his explanation elaborate considering his previous position of ANBU Sennin. Mikasa was certain that a majority of the academy students may be overwhelmed with the sheer amount of information being presented, hopefully that would not be the case.

The Yondaime Hokage ended the lecture in a similar fashion as the duo, bowing to the head figure of Konoha, Mikasa awaits until the shinobi takes an absence from the learning environment. Returning to proper posture, the platinum mane woman adjusts her nearly sliding off eye wear, "It is not everyday that one is able to receive a session from the Hokage. There is a single point that I wish to make abundantly clear." taking a momentary pause, a thin grin spreads across her features, "One's path is not as singular. Through your lifetime you all will experience multiple routes to reach your destination." a faint inhale of breath ensues, "Please do not feel you must dedicate your life to a single branch at this moment. What is more important is the harmony the branches create for one another and through such we allow everyone in this room, including myself, to experience the freedom to mingle between multiple areas to satisfy our own curiosities."

Those would be her final words, unless the students wished to continue to probe the minds of the superiors of the village. Bowing her head to the group before her, she allows for any inquires or immediate departures the students may wish to perform. "I have a few moments of time prior to my next lesson, I am sure Yukio-sensei is in a similar boat as myself. If there are any additional questions, please free to ask before taking your leave." Mikasa clarifies.​

[Uchiha Asuka]

Yukio’s tale turned out to be less cheerful than she though, but in the grand scheme of things he was right. The people you are assigned to kill or capture will have loved ones that will come after you and to be completely honest… that didn’t sound like something she wanted to be a part of. Too much hatred and revenge involved in this specific branch.

Asuka's eyes widened as soon as she saw who exactly walked in through the door. As soon as she recognized the attire Asuka stood up and bowed respectfully. What a great honor for the current Hokage to grace the class with his presence and of course as soon as he started to speak. Asuka gave him as much attention as she could muster, taking in every word he said. The main branch, now that's one that sounded interesting... especially being the Hokage guard, imagine that... the shinobi assigned to keep the Hokage safe in his travels. No that he needed any saving, hell Asuka was sure the Hokage could take care of himself... there's a reason why he's considered the strongest in the leaf village. The other two sub branches didn't catch her attention too much but would remember them in case she changed her mind, besides having more knowledge about anything will still give an advantage.

Asuka bowed again as the Hokage started to walk away. “Thank you Lord Hokage.” She said respectfully. Mikaza sensei was right, one path did not dictate what your whole career would be. Any situation could happen that would change everything or a choice that would change everything.

Asuka stood up walked up to Mikaza. “Thank you for the wonderful class Sensei.” Asuka smiled at her, not being able to contain her excitement she launched herself at the teacher and hugged the older girl’s neck warmly. “Thank you.” She said smiling, Asuka has always been a touching person she just hoped this sign of gratitude didn’t translate to anything offensive or disrespectful. Asuka let go, a little bit embarrassed at her sudden action quickly bowed to Yukio and walked out of the classroom.

[Kujo Kazuya]

Nitish was getting along with all the students and he was happy that he wasn’t pissed off with this class and the students. And Nitish was feeling well in this class and happy that he got his all answer to the questions he asked. Then after hearing Yukio sensei’s answer about the assassins training Nitish gets pissed off and thinks “What Revenge here again. Now I’m totally pissed off about hearing this word many times.” And then Nitish knows that “anyway I wanted to get in Assassin branch I will get in because I don’t have any parents or siblings. I just left with friends.” And then after Yukio sensei ends his lesson Nitish sees Lord Takeshi enters the classroom and then he introduces himself to everyone in the class. And then Lord Takeshi starts telling about main branch. And then Lord Takeshi talks about the three branches in the class “Hokage Guard, Konoha Security and then the Journeyman”.

And the lord Takeshi start telling about Hokage Guard “The Hokage Guard is pretty self-explanatory, an elite group that will be the entourage of the Hokage, guards to him and to make sure that he is safe, considered the elite fighting force of the main branch you will be required to prove yourself and undergo intense training and prove yourself as one of the best out there.” After that he talks about Konoha Security branch “Konoha Security is the bread and butter of this village so to speak, in charge of internal and external security for the village they are the ones that deal with a wide variety of domestic threats and are used to investigate all matters than come to hand. Including the duties of gate guards and monitoring the law breakers of the village you are the sentinels of the village in this role.” And then he talks about the final branch the Journeyman “Finally, is the role of Journeyman, these are the select few that want to pursue this path will become teachers at this very academy, others will become mission experts. This select group are those that are expected to face a wide variety of challenges in your careers. Often as mission leaders teaching Genin in the field as parts of more advanced operating units.”

And after telling about telling the branches he says that “Consider these words, if you ever want to talk about it or do anything else, please find myself at the Hokage Mansion and as well as coming to see the Sennin’s in their offices. I want to take this time to remind each of you, that everyone that spoke today has sat in those seats, has started off there at one time or another. This is your future think about this hard and I look forward to seeing you as the next generation starting your journey. Who knows maybe a future Hokage is sat among you even now as we speak.” And after saying this he leaves the classroom. And Nitish was glad to find Lord Takeshi giving all of the students.

[Naragaki Sora]

Yukio Sensei answered Sora's question in two parts, even if he didn't mean to. First, indirectly, starting his story with how things used to be when he joined. How things were hardly any different, from the sounds of it. Secondly, by the trailing off of his voice, and the vacant tone as he spoke. I don't know if I could work well with that atmosphere, Sora thought. The silence before Yukio announced the third and final branch, the main branch, was painful and long, but as the words escaped the Sensei's lips, Sora felt a chakra presence approaching suddenly. How he had missed it before was beyond him, since it's power was immense. Even thought legally blind, Sora still saw vague shapes and dulled colors, so as the source of the intense chakra wave entered the immediate vicinity, Sora was the vague shape of a large coat and the colors of white an red, and immediately registered in his mind who just walked in. Yondaime-Sama! For a moment, Sora could hardly breath from the pressure and intensity of the energy coming off the head of the village.

The Hokage, Lord Takeshi, Announced his presence to the class, and discussing the details of the main branch to the students. The Hokage Guard, which was made up of a select few who would be with the hokage always, as his professional bodyguards in the event of an emergency. I'm sure if someone that powerful needed an entourage, it was probably because they'd be a distraction, or meat shield in an "emergency event". That much power doesn't need a body guard... Sora thought the idea of being with the Hokage often was amazing, but with few slots, it seemed like too much work. Second was Konoha Security; The MilPol, or Military Police. They were the face of the city, working as everything from Main Gate guards, to the monitors that patrol the city and deter criminal activities. A valid and necessary field, but not one that grasped Sora's attention. Finally was Journeyman, who were those that would lead the young minds of the village onto further missions and growth, the Sensei's of the city. The idea struck Sora as intriguing, since most of the current teachers were those that worked other fields. Perhaps this and something else together would be a good mix. Sora thought that being a Researcher and a Journeyman was something that would not only go together well, but also be a path he'd enjoy.

As the Hokage took his leave, a few said their goodbyes, as Mikasa Sensei told the class they were free to go, unless that had more questions, to which the Uchiha girl, Asuka, I think it was, ran up, hugged Mikasa Sensei, and then left, and Wukong asked his question to her directly. Sora took this time to turn to his friends, Yasu and Akuma. "Guys, that was the freaking Hokage! We had 'The' Hokage in our class!" before Akuma could ask, Sora turned to him, "By the way, that is a very big deal. He's the one that watches over the whole village and has the power to protect everyone." Sora thought that the concept sounded like something Yasu would one day want to achieve. "So what branch are you guys thinking?"

[Yasu]

Yasu sat back in his seat as the Hokage entered to room. Yasus eyes widened as he began to instruct the class. Is that the Hokage!? This is crazy. You have been here four years. Have you never seen him? What, no? He's a busy guy. The Hokage began to explain the Main Branch. All the Hokage had to say was "Hokage Guard" and Yasus mind went blank. His thoughts were suddenly completely his own. Why have I never thought about this... To guard the Hokage, that's ridiculous! To think if I got some training form he big guy himself! Yasus mind was racing. To think how strong I would get! I would have to. Whoever attacks a Kage would have to be one tough customer. If I'm not strong enough I would just get in the way. What do you think Hibiki? Yasu sat in silence for a moment. He felt his heart sink deeper and deeper in his chest with every second that passed. Are...you still there...
The Hokage explained the other two branches and Yasu couldn't care for either. He was lost in his own head. Contemplating his future, and searching for Hibiki. This was the first time that Yasu could remember when he was alone. Alright, stay silent. Yasu began to ponder the two paths that interested him the most. On one hand we have guarding the Hokage. That is probably the coolest thing I can even think of. Just some kid, an outcast, working his way up all the way to the Hokages side. Yasu smiled at the thought, however his smile slowly dissipated as his thought continued. On the other hand thought... What about being a Combat Nin... I would be able to help out so much more. I could save lives. Whats more important... Protecting and saving many... Or just one... Yasu looked up at the ceiling. Then again... If I got training from the Hokage I would get way stronger! Possibly strong enough to do both. Yasus thought was interupted by Sora.

"So what branch are you guys thinking?"

"Can you guys see me getting strong enough to protect the Hokage?" Yasu looked down at his desk. "I mean I want to protect people, and he's definitely someone important who should be protected." Yasu looked at Sora and smiled. "I kinda up in the air about things. What about you?"

[Rozu Akuma]

Akuma could feel his neck hair stand on it's ends as chakra spiked through the building. Gripping his desk Akuma clutches his teeth and prepares to bolt as the chakra came closer. The villages Hokage came in with a smile on his face. I know him. I've read about him, I'm pretty sure he's the one the call master.. Wait that's not right ummm.. uhhh...

Hello class as most of you are aware I am the forth Hokage, Uchiha Takeshi.

That's the one. As the Hokage spoke Akuma just sat wondered what the research he'd have to do to travel places then a question came to his mind. Why is the Hokage here? How is someone with so much power go unfeared among his people? How does the Hokage also not just turn on the people when the judge or openly question his decisions? Akuma had been reading about how the village worked at home and couldn't grasp living under someone else's rule for so long. I understand that you need guidance as an infant to adult stages but geez. The Hokage was explaining The Main Branch. He was speaking with enthusiasm about each of the subjects. Akuma summarized each category in his head. The Hokage Guard is an elite team who guards the Hokage, Konoha Guard is like a rule enforcer, and Journeyman are teachers. Just as quickly as the Hokage came he left. Mikasa Sensei was the person to break the silence.

"It is not everyday that one is able to receive a session from the Hokage. There is a single point that I wish to make abundantly clear. One's path is not as singular. Through your lifetime you all will experience multiple routes to reach your destination. Please do not feel you must dedicate your life to a single branch at this moment. What is more important is the harmony the branches create for one another and through such we allow everyone in this room, including myself, to experience the freedom to mingle between multiple areas to satisfy our own curiosities. I have a few moments of time prior to my next lesson, I am sure Yukio-sensei is in a similar boat as myself. If there are any additional questions, please free to ask before taking your leave."

Wow. Researcher is the only one to stick. I'm uninterested in the others.

"Guys, that was the freaking Hokage! We had 'The' Hokage in our class! By the way, that is a very big deal. He's the one that watches over the whole village and has the power to protect everyone. So what branch are you guys thinking?"

"Researcher." Akuma said without out hesitation.

"Can you guys see me getting strong enough to protect the Hokage?"

Now why would you want to do that?

[Tsukasa Mikasa]

The spunky honey hair lad beamed upwards towards the Medical Sennin, Mikasa in kind returning the gesture with a faint grin of her own. Adjusting her spectacles, the kunoichi pondered for a moment on an appropriate response, "I assume Shinzo-san would be easier to get in contact with." she answers truthfully, lingering in thought prior to moving onto the next inquiry, "Absolutely, however with the lesson coming to an end I rather do so outside. I prefer the scent morning dew lingering on the grass." responds briskly. What were to come next catch the platinum mane woman off guard, the Uchiha lass launches forward to wrap her arms around her neck.

Taken aback, the older woman hesitantly pats the pat of the lass and returns her sincere grin. Certainly a first, or at least as far as the maiden could recollect. Shifting her attention to the remainder of the students she bows her head lightly, "Once more, there is plenty of time before your graduations. Do not rush your decisions and when the time comes you all are aware of how to get into contact with the appropriate branch representatives." heading over towards the trio of Sora, Akuma, and Yasu, she pauses and leans forward to speak to the dynamic trio, "I pray you three continue to support each other. It is refreshing to view your companionship." Mikasa speaks truthfully.

Eying Sora, she could sense his spirit raise a bit, although the medical lead unaware of his current situation, "Sora-kun, if you wish to speak outside of class you can find me at the Konoha Byoin. At times the best remedy is getting your thoughts out into the open." she concludes, not wishing to press herself onto the shinobi to be; despite of the words she spoke at the beginning of the lesson. Mikasa's statement also proving to be a useful clue for the academy student's friends to become a bit more aware of an unknown. Pivoting about, a ginger wave is given to the ANBU Captain as she takes her leave.

[OOC: Topic Left! Thank you everyone, was a pleasure to be in this particular group!]​

[Chigokai Wukong]

Wukong bows to the Senin and to the Captian. "Asuka lets go find this shinzo, and then go train, we cant let the adults have all the fun!" Wukong grabs Asuka's hand and drags her off, heading to shinzo's office.

[OCC: Topic left , requesting to take Asuka with him]

 

[Uchiha Asuka]

Asuka was running out of the classroom, this had been an awesome class and was glad to have met Mikaza-sensei. That is without even taking into account that the actual Hokage came in to teach them, but that's besides the point. Just as she was about to run down the stairs she stopped, she was forgeting something... Asuka sighed and face palmed herself. Her notes, god... how embarassing would it be to walk back into the class. Well, maybe if she ran in and then out no one would notice.

Asuka stood in front of the door to the classroom and took a deep breath, she opened the door and ran in, not daring to look at the teacher's... well teacher Mikaza had left, she noted that Asuka had to thank her later... in a more serious manner. She grabbed her notes and just as she was about to leave, she felt something or someone grab her hand. With a quick look she saw it was Wukong. "What the-" Just before she could finish she was being dragged out, Asuka kept her notes close to her chest as they walked out. "Woahhhhh!"

[Naragaki Sora]

"Can you guys see me getting strong enough to protect the Hokage?"

Sora smirked. of course that's where Yasu's mind was. He just wants to protect, still. "He protecc, he attacc, but mostly, he snacc." Sora mumbled to himself in amusement. Yasu ended asking what they thought, and without hesitation Akuma interjected with a single word; Researcher. Sora chortled aloud, staring in Akuma's direction and smiling. "If there's anyone that belongs in the wilds of the world, it's you, Akuma-san." Sora sighed off the laughter and thought about his path. Researcher called to him as well, but so did Journeyman. The idea of having a squad of his own, to shape and help move forward. As a blind ninja, that would definitely be an accomplishment. "I'm thinkin'-" before Sora could finish his thought, he heard the voice of angels reach down and gently caress his ears, and his face flushed, as he hadn't sensed sensei approaching them.

"I pray you three continue to support each other. It is refreshing to view your companionship. Sora-kun, if you wish to speak outside of class you can find me at the Konoha Byoin. At times the best remedy is getting your thoughts out into the open."

Still very red as she walked off, Sora smirked, thinking about a future he could see himself still being part of; a world of shinobi. "of course, Mikasa-chan." it took a sound from Yasu for Sora to realize that he'd just used the honorific he was thinking, instead of the one he was meant to say. With lightning reflexes, Sora grabbed Yasu by the back of the head and slammed his head forward into a bow. "Sure thing, Sensei! Anytime, Sensei! Have a wonderful day, SENSEI!" Sora was beat red as he shouted the last "sensei" towards Yasu, whispering afterwards, "Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Dammit, Sora, think before you speak!

Sighing heavily after she left the room, Sora waited a moment longer, watching as the Uchiha girl from earlier bolted back in, grabbed some papers, and then was dragged out by the Wukong kid. Finally, taking a stand, Sora waved to his friends, and walked out of the class in embarrassed silence. Maybe I should take her up on her offer... Sora felt his face, then his clothes. Maybe I'll clean up first...

[Yasu]

Yasu sat in his chair stewing in his thoughts. I could...But should? I want to... Is that ok? Soon Mikasa Sensei walked over and addressed the three friends. Her words of wisdom were greatly appreciated in Yasus eyes. We are close aren't we. We are like family... Nothing Hibiki? Yasu sighed I guess not. Soon Sora spoke up addressing Mikasa Sensei.

"of course, Mikasa-chan."

Yasu sat for only a moment then whisped over to Sora. "So... You never really answered my question. DO you think that I could get stro....Chan?..." Yasu staired at Sora who was as red as could be. Yasus grin grew wider and wider with every pssing moment. He began to turn to Mikasa Sensei, opening his mouth with the intention of bringing it to her attention, when suddenly Sora grabbed Yasu by the back of the head forcing him to bow. Both students were a firey chrimsin color. Sora from embarisment, and Yasu from tring not to laugh.
After Sora episode, and Yasu finished crying, Yasu stood up. "Alright! I'm not sure what the future holds, but all I know is I have to get stronger!" Yasu bowed his head Thank you for this most informative lesson." Yasu turning back to his friends. "I will see you guys around. I'm off to do some special training that Mokuba Sensei gave me!" Yasu took out a piece of paper from is pocket. "Alright tome for some good old training ! Lets see... Eggplant, carrots....eggs.... THIS IS JUST HIS SHOPPING LIST!" Yasu ran out of the class. "Who dose that guy think he is! This isn't training at all!"

[Rozu Akuma]

"If there's anyone that belongs in the wilds of the world, it's you, Akuma-san."

Akuma smirked. " I truly believe this is what I'm supposed to do. The path to get stronger." Akuma began to stand up to go talk to Hyuuga Sensei when Mikasa Sensei strolled past their desk.

"I pray you three continue to support each other. It is refreshing to view your companionship."

Huh. Friendship is somethin isn't it? Akuma had a wave of emotion come over him and expressed it through smiling lost in his own thought. "Thank you Sensei." Mom, I think you'd be proud of me. What's this feeling? Kumo? Akuma with his heightened awareness heard Kumo's foot steps on the outside wall across from him. "Guy's I gotta go." Akuma started off down the walk way heading towards Hyuuga Sensei's desk. "Sensei, I want to be a researcher. How do I go about starting my journey? The tall pale face boy bowed nervously in front of the instructor staring at the floor. " I know I'm young but I already know what my purpose is."

Nitish know that the class is ended and he was asking to himself “What should I do next?” and then after a little while later Nitish remembers “I think I should take a class with Maru or someone else to enter ANBU’s.” and then Nitish starts wrapping his stuff and then stands up and says “Thanks you Yukio and Mikasa sensei for this class and because of this class I finally decided which branch I will get in.” And then Nitish starts heading out of the class towards his home and thinks “I will become a great Assassins and help the leaf.” And then heads towards his home before getting the sun gets down and do some training after arriving the home.
