5 Chapter 5 : The Beginning of the End (2/2)
Both boys took off in opposite directions, smiling ear to ear.
It took Kenji approximately ten minutes to return home. Even in a constant jog. As he returned to his front door, the exhaustion of the day set in. His adrenaline subsided and he felt the tug of his bed calling him. He burst through the door and yelled ”Mom!”
Aya was Kenji's room picking up things when she heard his scream. Why did he come home so early?. Her heart sank. Not today. Why? It was his first day at the academy. She just desired a normal childhood for him despite his drive to be a ninja. She asked him on day why he had these strong feelings and he replied ”Because shinobi are cool!” She almost facepalmed.
Aya quickly ran down the hall and slightlyrelieved her tension upon Kenji's happy face but proceeded with caution. What really sent her off were the bandages on her son's arm and the swelling purple shade of his face. She wondered if the other Mist inhabitants did something to him.
Kenji couldn't decide how to start his tale. All kinds of words bubbled at the edge of his tongue until he blurted out ”I made a friend today!” He squinted his face from happiness.
Aya's first response was to kneel and check Kenji's face thoroughly. After her exam she smiled and said ”That's great sweetie, but what else happened today?” She gently rubbed his purple check as he winced.
Aya plopped down in her chair and placed kenji on her knee with an arm locked around his torso. She couldn't deny he was getting too big for this. Kenji let out every detail of his scary but eventful day. Aya was livid when she learned the Mizukage, who she held the utmost respect for, forced her boy into a fake death match with another student. Kenji was able to seal her rage when he explained Yagura's 'perfect' compliment given to him and his new friend. Kenji went step by step through his fight, exaggerating the actions with the yell of a Bang! or Boom! Aya laughed. She was worried sick for the boy she had grown to love, but happy that a certain other boy could learn to be friends with Kenji, unlike the other citizens who wouldn't give him a chance.

In the Mizukage office...
Yagura sat with elbows propped on his desk. His hands were webbed together and pressed against his mouth. He contemplated his decision. The Anbu Commander stood in front of him and was suprised with his superior's decision.
The shark face asked ”Are you sure Lord Mizukage?”
After a few seconds, Yagura darkly replied, ”Yes, I'll leave it to you.”
