"Here you go!"

"Thanks."

Danzo walked out of the washing room and accepted a towel from Kagami's hands. Fluffy cloth helped in drying his wet hair and body after a warm shower.

"I dried your clothes, so you can change back."

"Thank you."

Danzo was still a little bit in a daze after meeting with one of the strongest and most famous shin.o.bi in the world. Madarsama was in a hurry, so he only exchanged a few words with his nephew, since the other kid was frozen solid, and left. Danzo could still feel his heart rate increase when he remembered that encounter.

He put on his clothes that ware still warm from Katon chakra and walked out of the room. Long hallways and amount of sliding doors made it hard to novigate. He opened one door after the other, but still couldn't find Kagami.

"Kagami! Where are you?! Your house is a maze!"

Noone answered his call. His chest felt heavy as he opened another door fruitlessly.

*slide*

He slid them again and let out a relieved sigh. this was the door to the outside. A beautiful garden greeted his sight. Neat, sandy paths were decorated by short bushes and flowers. Blue sky was clearly seen from there and the sound if dripping water, from the back of the garden, made the atmosphere complete.

"Kagami! Are you here?"

"No, Kagami is in the kitchen."

A man came from behind, walked past startled child and sat on the steps to the garden. Long, messy, black ponytail of glossy hair was resting on the floor and onyx eyes were fixed on the clouds.

"It's hot now, right?" He muttered to himself, but Danzo could still hear. "I think it was around this time of the year that she left." Izuna sighed, "Oh, you are still here? Go to the kitchen. Kagami is there, waiting for his lost friend.

"Ahm...a... Where....?"

"Straight, turn right. Third door to the left. Then turn left and you'll see."

"Thank you!" Danzo hurridly bowed down and run off.

'I'm glad he found a friend of his age. Should I investigate him a little?' Izuna shook his head at the apsurdness of the thought itself. 'Nah. I'll just ask Kagami about him later.'

************

"Control your breathing, Danzo!"

"Y-yes!"

"Kagami continue!"

Without any further ado, Kagami took his stance again and attacked along with Danzo. Danzo blocked the upcoming punch, but was kicked back. Kagami charged forward; however, their opponent wasn't a normal shin.o.bi. This was his dad. The person who would never be lousy during the fight. If Kagami was to jump away even a second later, a broken rib would be the least of the enguries on his body currently...

Father wasn't going easy on them at all. Even a simple spar was like a real life-and-death battle. No, noone died, yet, but by the complition of the session, one would definitely feel like a corpse. Or a zombie, if you still had strength to move.

Arms were covered in cuts and bruises. Face, legs and abdomen weren't spared either. Kagami was sure that there were a few broken bones as well. Danzo was in similar shape, if not worse. Kagami gritted his teath and attacked again. Fruitlessly.

'He's done!' After receiving another kick, Danzo fell down and didn't get up after losing his consciousness. Kagami wasn't in any way better and fell right next to his friend.

"I guess this will conclude our training for today."

"Un..."

Izuna took powerless kids inside into the Main Residence. Hashirama greeted him with a smile and quickly healed all of the wounds. After putting sleeping friends to beds, both o the adults left silently, not that their patients would wake up. They're got no will or power to do so.

"Why would you make the training so hard? They are only 7. Let them fool around a bit!"

"I can't. This was the training brother and I received from young. I want my child to be strong as well."

"Izuna, there is no war. You can take it easier..."

"I can't. I have a goal and the duty to protect this village. I want to be sure that by the time my life will come to an end, a strong generation would be raised."

"Heh. I want this as well; however, since my baby is only 4, I can still spoil him a little bit... a very tiny bit..." Hashirama suddenly turned gloomy and storm clouds began to gather, "My job is taking away most of my time!"

"Hn!" Izuna snickered and moved on.

**************

"You're late Kagami!"

"Sorry, dad decided to hold an extra training for today!" Kagami appeared, almost being late for his first day of Academy.

"What did you do, to make him furious?!"

"I learnt a huge secret that he didn't want others to find out about, yet. Hahaha!"

"What secret?"

"Can't tell you. I promised and.."

"Sensei would kill us both."

They laughed as they were getting closer to the building.

A light of antic.i.p.ation was glowing in Uchiha's...o...b.. and was transmitted to everyone around. Children from big clans were entering the doors of the Academy today, thus making the day even more hectic for the teachers and the old students.

"I checked our cla.s.ses. We're both in 4!"

"I'm glad. I don't really know many people in person." Kagami and Danzo laughed, since both of them knew, this was a pure lie. Who was Kagami again?

A Stalker.

Not in a bad way. All of the information he would get, was common or a little bit private, but not a secret. He knew almost everything there is about his future cla.s.smates, as well as some of the info on some of the children of the less influential clans. Senju excluded. He was familiar with this clan almost as well as his own compound. With time, Danzo also became friends with many of the Uchiha and Senju kids and even genins.

"Let's g-"

"Hey!"

"Hi, monkey."

"I told you to stop calling me this name!"

"Why? You are a monkey."

"Stop it you two." Kagami interfered, "Let's go inside! I want to see our cla.s.s!"

Time pa.s.sed and years flew by in an instant. Danzo, Kagami and Hiruzen became close friends; however, two of the mentioned parties would never agree. They competed in everything and would always fight for no reason; nevertheless, this was a form of their deep friendship.

************

A new batch of Genin was waiting nervously for the arrival of their new group-Sensei. They worked hard throughout their academy years and were finally qualified to bear the proud t.i.tle "Shin.o.bi of Konohagakure no Sato". small talks and giggles filled the room as the teams were announced. Some were delighted, while others were brooding in the corner.

"Team 5! Shimura Danzo , Uchiha Kagami , Akimichi Torifu. Sensei- Uchiha Izuna!"

'Tch' Danzo glared at the teacher showing what he thinks about this lineup. "Monkey!" He turned to look the person in the face, "This doesn't mean that I'll stop annoying you! Understood? I'll defeat you."

"You're welcome to try!" A b.u.mptious teen with brown, spiky hair replied and stick out his tongue

"You..." but before a new fight between those two close enemies would break out, Kagami spoke to Danzo.

"Danzo, not here. We can settle this together after the meeting with our Sensei."

"I don't need your help." His friend grunted.

"I know, but from now on we are a team. A family. And father always says that we must support each other."

"Shudup..." Danzo sat down while trying to look as dissatisfied as possible, but a small, unnoticeable smile formed on his face. 'Family' was something he will cherish. Aspecially if his best friend and his father were included. They would now become combrats and step on the path of a shin.o.bi. This is their path now. They will protect their home.

"Khm!" The teacher got the attention of the cla.s.s and continued, "Team 6!....."

"Team 7..."

"Team 9! Sarutobi Hiruzen! Mitokado Homura , and Utatane Koharu. Sensei- Senju Tobirama!"

"Everyone is dismissed! Come here after lunch to meet your new teachers! Good luck in your career as a Shin.o.bi!"

"Danzo, Kagami, let's go eat together!" Torifu approached his teammates while offering some of his never-ending snacks.

"Yes, let's go."

They got to the roof of the building near the academy and shared their lunches. Shimura learnt cooking long ago and won over the heart of his round team member. As soon as they finished eating, a gust of wind and leaves. .h.i.t their backs.

The reaction of those young Shin.o.bi pleased the person that disturbed their peace. They instantly got into a formation that would cover their backs and a kunais appeared in their hands.

"Hn. Good. You pa.s.s."

The three teenagers stood there dumbfounded. Kagami sighed in reprobation, Danzo was observing their teacher with hidden respect and admiration, while Torifu sat down and took another pack of snacks.

"Father... You were supposed to meet us in the academy after lunch."

"I know, Kagami, that's why I came after you ate. I see no reason to delay our introductions. By the way," Izuna allowed a girl to get down from his back, " This is your other teammate from the medical department."

"Hai!"

Kagami and Danzo sat next to Torifu. The girl sat besides Shimura and Izuna leaned on the rails of the roof.

"My name is Uchiha Izuna. Likes- training. Dislikes- many, but nothing particular. Dream- well, it's a secret..."

"His dream is to become the next Hokage," Kagami gave away his Father and earned a death glare that promised all of the tortu... khm, training Kagami could possibly get. Danzo felt that he wouldn't be spared ether.

"Next," Izuna commanded with a strict tone.

"Uchiha Kagami. Likes- studying and sweets. Dislikes- traitors. The dream is to become a good clan leader."

Izuna's mouth twitched at the corner. "Next."

"Akimichi Torifu. Likes- eating. Dislikes- fighting and when people call me fat, while not looking onto the other side of the coin. Dream- I don't have one yet. Maybe to support my brother Choi in his future as the clan head. Munch."

Izuna nodded.

"Shimura Danzo. Likes- Konoha and becoming stronger. Dislikes- traitors. Dream- to become Hokage."

"Ou, I have a rival!" Izuna squinted his eyes in mischief.

Danzo knew that Izunsensei is fooling around, but... the look that he was given, didn't promise anything good.

'I made a grave mistake, when I stated my likes...'

"Hagane Minari. Medical-nin. Rank- C+. Likes- cats. Dislikes- lies and spicy food. Dream- none as of now. Nice to meet all of you."

"We will be in your care!" Everyone turned to their medic. From now on, she will be the one who holds their lives during the missions.

"Alright! Tomorrow we will be starting your missions and training! Meet me tomorrow at 8 a.m. Dismissed!"

"Hai!"
