A New Story

Let the lessons begin:

A member of the ANBU materialised within the centre of the crowds, elevating himself up he raised his voice above all else. "Attention everyone, everyone may I have your attention!" The loud chatter that simmered the air with excitement, with each having their own reasons for their attendance, died down to the silence of the wind and the lark of bird calls. "Due to your large numbers, the Hokage has appointed me to create lodging for this event."

"Create lodging?" was the scorned confusion in the air. Judging by the number of ninja it would take a year to build appropriate housing.

"Wood Release: Four-Pillar House" The ANBU called out and the forest ahead of him and his audience, ruptured and transmuted into a Large building crafted from the trees that moulded themselves to shape it. With the Building carved seemingly out of nothing, the ANBU disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"That was an Elite ANBU ninja"

"I've never heard of them"

"They are ANBU that have mastered two or more elements, allowing them to use a combined third element"

"That sounds fantastic; I didn't know ANBU have ranks!"

The crowds were abuzz with gasps of astonishment and eager explanations of the wonders they just witnessed, but all the commotion summed up itself when applause erupted and cheers whooped themselves into being. Everyone was excited to see what could follow, what was it like inside the building and when would the demonstration begin.

Before anyone could enter the building, the doors opened and two familiar faces ushered everyone in. The Gate Guards of Konohagakure, Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane, smiled and waved the audience in.

"Come on this way, there is room for everyone" They assured, urging the audience not to hesitate but come on through.

The inside of the building was neatly crafted with intricately designed wax paper doors and ceiling lights, benches and wooden floors. If they had not seen it made before their eyes they would not believe it was crafted out of nothing just a moment ago. These details made it even more of a marvel and stoked a fire of passion, a pride for being a part of a village that cultivated such great ninja.

Finally they were gathered and seated on the floor in the main hall, waiting to be addressed by the guest of honour, and ultimately their reason for being there.
