Oh yeah guys! Here we are! The day has finally arrived where you guys meet up with your team to truly start your life as a Shinobi!

Filled with excitement and all that jazz you leave your house only to be met by a gentle summer sun that hung low in the sky. The people outside all seemed to be in a good mood, business had been rising in ever since winter ended and trade route became more populated again. As such there were also many unfamiliar faces in town: merchants, families on a holiday, visiting shinobi from allied villages/organizations. Konoha was ‘glowing’.

Your Academy teacher had swung by your house some days ago, informing you that you were to meet up with your new squad below the main gate that some nicknamed ‘Godric’s Door.’.

As such, it was quite the ball-ache when you actually got there seeing as there were so many people who were entering and leaving the village; including several Jounin amongst whom: A tubby middle-aged man with a thick mustache, a bald woman who carried a staff on her back, a grumpy tall man with yellow eyes who wore a black trenchcoat, and a blonde teenager with a flower in his flak-pocket.

However, upon talking to one of these Jounin to see if they were here for you they’d shake you head and tell you no. But you could see that they were all busy with some kind of other business even before talking to them seeing as none of them actually stopped under the gates and all of them seemed to be heading somewhere.

The only people who you’d discern to be stationary here, at the gate, were the two guard that stood at either side of the gate, on the outside, and they seemed to be checking every unfamiliar face that came to visit the village. If deciding to talk to these guards, they’ll tell you that they haven’t seen a Jounin waiting here, the only peculiar things they had seen today were an old woman who rode in on a swine, and the, to them, familiar face of someone they referred to as ‘The Blitz., who hadn’t been seen for four years or so. Before they could say anything else they’d be distracted by a little argument between an Iwagakure mason and a Sunagakure carpet-seller. It’d be resolved in 5 minutes or so.

By now you might feel a little salty seeing as you’ve pretty much been left in the metaphorical cold by this Jounin who had never been specifically named to you. But right there, in that moment of annoyance, desperation, or whichever emotion, you were approached by an anbu shinobi wearing  a white mask with a tree-like drawing that left an eye-opening on either side of the gnarly trunk. Upon speaking, the anbu revealed to be a woman with a husky voice that brimmed with confidence. “Greetings. There has been a small change in your roster due to decisions made by the high council. Your new Jounin has been cleared to inform you of further details.”. The masked woman handed each of you a Viking-style throwing axe each of which featured an unusual kanji-seal on the hilt; the kanji markings would loosely translate to ‘Love hope truth. ‘.

“Take these and find Training grounds #34, identified by the large tree standing at its center. That’s all.”. Bringing her hands together in the ram hand-seal, she left the scene by means of a body flicker. The training grounds she spoke of would be found after a walking through the forest for about two miles, heading east. If you don’t know where the training grounds are, most adult shinobi and civilians would be able to tell you.
