Waking up early in the morning, i started to freshen up. Today was the day of the academy entrance exams. According to my information there were 10 kids from this orphanage including me and Naruto who were going to take part in the exams.
I hurriedly took the consent form from the matron and stood in line with the ten children to depart towards the academy with the caretaker. I was wearing a white rolled out t shirt along with a burnt blank pant and warmers disguised as weights. Overall according to me I look pretty cool.
Reaching the academy I started to look around the sea of people for any known faces, and looks I was successful. I saw sasuke uchiha standing with his mother,to my left I saw ino shika cho trio with their father's gossiping amiacibly ,I looked around and even saw hinata with her father standing aloof together.
After some time a chunin came forward and introduced himself as Iruka. He instructed us to follow him where we were divided into ten groups of ten ,a total of hundred.First was a running test where we were instructed to run ten times around the ground and luckily I wasn't paired with any clan children. Naturally I breezes through the test , looking around I also saw sasuke and kiba inzuka acing their respective tests which was even faster than me. At first I was shocked but I Consoled myself thinking they trained from a very early age.
Next was kunai and shuriken throwing. The clan children performed best within this segment with sasuke as top. I never practiced throwing weapons so my accuracy was lackluster , i got a pitiful four out of ten on both, though it was better than many civilians,. it wasn't enough.
Ten minutes later a class list was announced and luckily I was within the clan heirs class though narrowly, this was a great humbling experience for me to never be complacent.
We were said to gather on the grounds infront of the academy where "the will of fire" was written on the stone and suddenly came in hiruzen sarutobi,the third hokage. He started his teachings about the will of fire and village history with all students eyes being glued to him.
After the ceremony was over,we were given our id card and a practice shuriken and kunai set . With further instructions to come tomorrow for the beginning of the new year, we were dismissed.
