It was a beautiful sunny morning in the Hidden Leaf village. Villagers were out and about running errands. Kids and their parents were at the park with the young children playing with their friends.

This afternoon a young five-year-old boy was seen running in the park. He had a fair skin tone and short silky raven hair stopping a little past his ears. His eyes were a beautiful sandy brown. He wore a grey sleeveless jacket with white shorts and dark blue ninja sandals.

"You never catch me, Ren!" The young boy yelled as he ran through the park passed the swing set as another boy chased after him.

The other boy was five years old as well. He has slightly pale skin and medium-length raven hair that goes down to his cheeks and short bangs touching the middle of his forehead. He had dark onyx eyes. He wore a long sleeve black shirt with the Uchiha symbol on the back, black pants, and dark blue sandals.

"I wouldn't be too sure of that, Tsuki," Ren declared as he ran after Tusukiya Senju, his closet, and tackled him to the ground.

"Oh yeah, so you think won," Tusukiya chuckled as he rolled over and pushed Ren off of him and started to get on up off the ground.

"What are you two doing?" A voice asked from beside them.

The two boys looked to their right to see another five-year-old boy. He has a cream skin tone and spiky blonde hair with long side bangs framing his face and dark blue eyes. He wore a white and blue shirt with black pants and black ninja sandals.

"Good morning Minato," Tsukiya greeted, getting up from the ground.

"Yeah, morning, and we were just playing ninja. Tsuki was playing the bad guy trying to escape," Ren explained.

"I see that sounds fun. Mind if I join you both?" Minato asked.

"Of course, Minato; however, maybe we should play something different unless nobody minds two against one," Tsukiya said, helping Ren up from the ground.

"How about we play in the sandbox instead," Minato said.

"Sounds excellent, Tsukiya and Ren both said, making them look at each other and start laughing together.

The three boys then started running toward the sandbox to play together.

"Why isn't your mother here today?" Minato asked.

"Oh, she wasn't in great condition to bring me to the park today. So my father brought me instead," Tsukiya replied.

"Oh, I hope she is going to be okay."

"Don't worry; my father says everything is okay. She just a bit sore today."

"It looks like it's about time to get going. I have shopping to do before tomorrow's academy entrance ceremony," Ren said, standing from the sandbox and dusting the sand off his pants.

"That's right; I have a bit of shopping left to do as well," Tsukiya said."Minato, I'm looking forward to seeing you there."

"Tsukiya, come on time to get going. It's almost lunchtime!" A male voice called out from near the benches.

The voice belongs to non-other than a tall, muscular man with slightly pale skin and spiky raven hair, and onyx eyes. He was wearing a high collar dark blue shirt sleeve shirt with the Uchiha symbol on his sleeve and matching pants. As well as black ninja sandals. He was none other than Takeshi Uchiha, father of Tsukiya.

"I see you both tomorrow and the entrance ceremony!" Tsukiya waved back at his best friends as he ran over towards his father, ready to go.

Ren and Minato waved back as they watched Tsukiya walking away with his father talking his father ear off about tomorrow.

So Ren left as well with his mom, eventually leaving Minato alone while waiting for someone to come get him as well for lunch.

-------------------

The following morning Tsukiya was woken to someone yelling his name.

"Tsukiya!" His father called out from the other side of the bedroom door.

He opened his eyes slowly as he heard a consent knocking on his bedroom door.

"I'm awake," He replied, turning to face the door.

"Get a shower and come downstairs for breakfast."

"Alright, I will be right down in a few minutes, father," He replied, getting out of bed and started walking towards the bathroom.

"I see you downstairs."

As soon as he reached the bathroom, he turned on the warm water and got inside of the shower as she started washing up for the day.

Tsukiya then walked out of the bathroom nine minutes later wearing a red long-sleeve shirt and dark blue pants.

He then walked over to his left nightstand closer to the bathroom and grabbed his grey sleeveless jacket, and put it on over his shirt before he walked over to the door and opened it as he headed on downstairs for breakfast.

As he entered the kitchen, he saw his father sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a cup of coffee. As well as his mother who was at the stove finishing up with cook breakfast. His mother had beautiful long blonde and darker brown eyes compared to Tsukiya.

"Morning," He greeted with a wide smile.

"Good morning," His mother greeted back as she turned. The first thing he saw was her large stomach."Breakfast is ready. Eat on up before it's time for today's entrance ceremony," She replied, placing a plate of Crepes in front of Tsukiya.

"This looks amazing. Thanks for breakfast," He smiled happily.

"Dear, why don't you lay back down? I'm sure you're tired with all this cooking and being as pregnant as you are," Takeshi said, standing up and placing a hand on his wife's shoulder."I take him to the entrance ceremony today," He said.

"You don't have to. I'm well enough to go," She replied.

"No, you know Tsunade, your sister recommended you don't overwork yourself this far along in pregnancy," He stated.

"What exactly does that have to do with a baby slibing again?" Tsukiya asked curiously.

"Don't worry about it. Just eat your breakfast," Takeshi said.

"Alright, I leave him to you then," She replied, heading out of the kitchen to rest after placing a cup of grape juice in front of Tsukiya.

He nodded and continued to eat his breakfast until he was finally all done and ready to go to today's entrance ceremony.

---------------

A large number of kids were gathered inside of a large room. They were gathered and grouped in nine lines of, eight kids in each line, except one line, had only two kids.

While the Third Hokage stood at the front of the room, looking at the large group of students and the parents standing in a group on the right and left side lines of the room, looking at their children.

"Starting today, those of you that are gathered here today made an entrance into Konoha ninja Academy," The hokage started. "Many of you who had enrolled have only 74 successfully passed the entrance exam. From here on out begins your pathway to learning to be a ninja of the Hidden Leaf village."

The third Hokage took a brief pause until he continued to speak.

"Those of you have made it to the list of your names I posted on the back wall," He continued. "Find your name, and you will discover what classroom you will be in for your time here in the Academy, and starting tomorrow will be your first day of class."

The kids happily cheered as the Hokage signaled for them to check for their classroom.

'Yes, tomorrow is the day my journey to become a ninja begins!" Tsukiya thought as he started to make his way toward the back wall to find his name.

"Did you find your name?" His father asked, placing a hand on Tsukiya's shoulder.

Tsukiya's eyes roamed the list until he finally found his name. Looking through the crowd and next to it was room number 135.

"Yes, room 135."

"Alright, so you're on the first floor," Takeshi replied."Let's go visit your aunt since we haven't told her about your enrollment since she was away on a mission. She back now."

"Sounds great," Tsukiya agreed as he and his father left the academy once the entrance ceremony was over.
