"Who wants to play ninja?"

"Oh! I do! I do!"

"Me too!"

"I want to play too guys!"

It was lunch time and, just like most days, there was a wild commotion going on over at the academy's playground. Gathered around the climbing sets and spider webs, a large group of kids- mostly boys- were currently gathered around their troop leader, who'd just popped the question as to who wanted to have a game of ninjas.

Obviously a majority of them wanted to take part and so, once a unanimous decision had been made, the youngsters began allocating roles and positions between one another. It was a clumsy start at first, what with them bickering over who wanted to play what ninja. But as soon as all the children knew who they were going to be imitating, they scattered and began to chase each other around the entire yard.

For the next several minutes after that, under the careful watch of their teacher Daikoku Funeno, the kids ran circles around the entire area. Sprinting across the bark, hopping over various obstacles and playground equipment, and even interrupting a couple of girls building castles in the sand pit, the boys had a ball as they pretended to clash kunai with one another and cast jutsu.

Them being so young of course, neither of them actually knew how to throw any 'fireballs' or 'earth walls' at each other just yet, so they just stuck with the basics of pretend play.

Eventually the game reached a point where one of the children, a popular Uchiha boy named Kaito, had one of his friends trapped against the rock climbing wall. With the other youngster's back to it, the adolescent prodigy advanced with his 'sword' drawn and ready to strike.

"Ha-ha! Surrender!" the boy chuckled.

The other boy with brown hair grinned back and formed a cross guard with his arms. "You can't touch me! Not when I have the First Hokage's Mokuton (Wood Release) defending me!"

Kaito recoiled at the boy's declaration and glared. "Hey! You can't do that! That's cheating!"

"Na-ah. Not it isn't," the other boy stated. "It's my super-secret, special move! The best there is!"

"No one in this village uses that jutsu anymore!"

"Oh yeah. Well… someday I will. I just have to practice."

"Ha. Yeah, right," Kaito replied, causing his friend to glower at him while he crossed his arms proudly. "If anyone is going to have amazing jutsu when they grow up, it's going to be me. I'll become an even better ninja than Sasuke's mum and dad."

Not exactly liking how the most popular boy in their group was taking this, the youngster with spiky brown hair and wearing the yellow T-shirt pouted and stood off of the wall. "This is getting boring. It's no fun when we don't have a real bad guy ninja in our group. Everybody here is playing a good guy." He said this while referring to the rest of their gang, who quickly approached the pair when they realized no one was chasing anyone anymore.

"Yeah," another boy in a white singlet, a buzz cut and a missing tooth spoke up as he looked between his friends. "Who can we get to play a bad guy?"

After looking over his troop for a moment and seeing no one wanted to volunteer, Kaito then looked over his shoulder and spotted a lone boy sitting on the swing set nearby all by himself and reading from a book. Being able to spot him due to the fact that nobody was in the same area as him, the young Uchiha with the spiky black hair grinned and nodded over to him.

"Hey. What about him?"

When his friends all looked to see who he was referring to, the brown haired Sarutobi boy who he was playing with before blinked. "Isn't he the new kid? The one our parents said not to go near? Naru-something."
