Tsukiya was awakened by the sound of his alarm beeping loudly on the nightstand to the left of his bed. He let out a yawn as he slowly opened his eyes and gently rubbed the sleep out of them.

He then turned to the left and shut the alarm off, and noticed that it was seven in the morning and time to get on up and ready for his first day at the ninja academy.

'I better get on out of bed and take my shower. I don't want to deal with my mother getting mad that I wasn't up and ready and downstairs for breakfast. She might not be as scary as Aunt Tsunade, but she has her scary moments.' He thought as he climbed on out of bed.

As soon as he was out of bed, he walked on over to the bathroom after grabbing clothes out of the closet, ready to shower and get dressed in one of his many favorite outfits.

Tsukiya then walked out of the bathroom after a good ten minutes dressed. He was wearing a dark red high-collar shirt, black knee-length shorts, and a grey jacket with the Uchiha symbol was on the back.

"Time to eat breakfast. I wonder what she made," He said, walking towards the bedroom door and wondering what his mother had made for breakfast today.

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

Tsukiya walked into the kitchen, where he saw his pregnant mother finishing up cooking breakfast which was omelets and bacon.

"Morning, where, father?" Tsukiya asked, noticing that his father wasn't sitting at the table this morning.

"Good morning. He went out early to meet up with his old teammates for their usual get-togethers before one of them left for their missions," She replied, glancing at her son.

"I see," He replied, sitting down at the kitchen table.

"Eat up, and then go brush your teeth," She said as she placed the plate in front of Tsukiya along with a cup of grape juice.

"Alright, this looks delicious, and you got more of my favorite juice," He said, smiling at the food and cup in front of him."When is the baby going to be here?" He asked, looking up at his mother.

"Someone curious about when their little slibing will be born?" She asked, smiling at Tsukiya.

"Of course, after all, they are going to be my little brother," He replied, smiling back.

His mother chuckled in response."What makes you so sure that they will be a little brother? We haven't asked  Tsunade for the gender yet."

"I just know that I'm getting a baby brother," He replied, picking up a piece of bacon."It is what my gut is telling me."

"Guess you just have to wait and see when they're born," She replied, making herself a plate of food as well.

Tsukiya finished eating his breakfast and drinking his juice after a few minutes and headed upstairs to brush his teeth and grab his books for his first day of class at the Academy.

-----------

Tsukiya and his mother were now walking to the academy after he was all done getting ready. His mother was reminding him of what he should do and shouldn't do.

He wasn't sure how much time with passed as he listened to his mother's words, but he noticed her stop talking as they saw the academy come into view.

"Remember Tsu-Kun to show them what you can do. And make sure always to do your best and never give up! Show them what you are made of!" His mother said, giving him a soft smile,

He smiled back as he glanced at his mother. He felt confidence flow through his body seeing her smile. He then nodded as he walked away from his mother, but only a few feet away, and then turned back, giving her another smile.

"Hey, no need to worry, mother. Even if I wasn't giving my best, I will ace the academy. Besides, I don't plan on not giving it everything I got," He stated, giving his mother a thumbs up.

"Have a great first day, Tsu-Kun!" His mother shouted, waving bye to him as he walked into the academy.

----------

He walked into the assigned classroom and looked around the classroom for a spot to sit. As he looked around the room, he noticed two Uchiha, one being his best friend Ren and a female Uchiha sitting next to him. There were also a Hyuga and an Inuzuka, and the last people he noted were an Aburame.

'Looks like I have the same class as Ren. I wonder if Minato has this class as well.' He looked around the room and found an empty table near the back left window and walked over and sat down, waving hi to Ren, and he passed the front table to the left of the room where he was sitting.

"Hi," A soft voice greeted quietly.

He turned to his right to see a girl with neck-length lavender hair and dark purple eyes looking at him nervously.

"Hm?" He hummed in thought, wondering what she was doing over her.

"I saw that there was a spot here and was wondering if I could sit here," She said, looking at the floor and chewing her lip.

"Sure."

"Thanks, um," She said, trailing off for a brief second."What is your name?" She asked.

Tsukiya glanced at the girl for a minute before he spoke."It's only common courtesy to say your name first before asking someone their name," He said with an eyebrow raised.

The girl smiled sheepishly as she rubbed the back of her neck with a pink tint on her cheeks in embarrassment.

"Right, my bad; my name is Arisu Suzuki," She smiled and shly as she sat down in the chair.

"Tsukiya Senju," He said calmly, glancing at her.

"Senju?" She questioned.

"Is there a problem with that?" He asked with an eyebrow raised in confusion. He was even more confused seeing her looking away nervously.

'What up with her? Is she thinking I'm going to do something?' He thought, looking at her confused.

"No, it's just your nothing like the scary medical Senju who lectures me about eating poorly," She explained.

"Oh, you mean Tsunade?" He asked.

"You know her then?"

"Yeah, she my, Aunt."

"Oh," She said softly.

They both turned their attention to the front of the classroom as a tall and slim build man with shoulder-length Watermelon color hair and green eyes walked into the room holding a clipboard.

"Good morning, class how about we start the day off with introductions," He said."Let's start with me. My name is Satoru Hanabusa, and I have been a Chunin since thirteen and have been teaching for four years now."

He then nodded to the boy who was in the front, resting his head on the desk.

"How troublesome, My name is Shikaku Nara."

"Is there anything else you like to share about yourself?" Satoru asked.

Shikaku simply shook his head; Satoru nodded to the next person to go.

"Inoichi Yamanaka. I'm five years old and the heir of the Yamanaka clan."

"Alright, thank you, Inoichi."

"Choza Akemichi, I'm  a fan of bbq!"

"My name is Anba Inzuka, and I enjoy hanging out with my cousin Tsume."

"Shiori Aburame."

The introduction carried on as more and more people introduced themselves.

"Taiyo Hyuga!"

"Minato Namikaze sensei."

"Hn. Ren Uchiha."

"Hn. Sana Uchiha."

"I'm Arisu Suzuki, thankful to the village for taking me in a year ago."

"My name is Tsukiya Senju, and looking forward to learning from you, Hanabusa-sensei."

"Alright, now that everyone has introduced themselves, we will now move on to the first lesson of the day," Hanabusa-sensei announced once all the introductions were done.

Tsukiya pulled out his notebook and started taking his notes as Hanabusa began to teach today's lesson.
