OOC: Are those squads okay with everyone? I tried to balance them and keep relatives off of the same squad because I figured there might be a rule about such things. It can affect teamwork and all that stuff.

The Opening Scene: Graduation Day! Congratulations New Genins of Konoha! You have just received your headbands and the ceremony is over. Go talk with your families, greet friends, get acquainted with your teammates (if you don't already know them or aren't close). Tomorrow you will meet your Jonin senseis at the academy first thing in the morning (for now you don't know who they will be).

Konohamaru's squad helped out with the ceremony, a basic D rank mission. Now that it is over feel free to mingle with your new peers or go elsewhere. Just remember that you have to meet Konohamaru-sensei at nine the next morning, in training area 3.

Kaida- You arrived in the village just that morning, along with Shikamaru and Temari, who made a special trip to accompany you and to see their daughter graduate. Your assignment was announced during the ceremony along with the other genins, so meet your new teammates, greet your cousin, whatever you feel like doing...

And the RP is officially OPEN!!


Soyokaze spotted her parents standing near the back of the crowd and headed towards them. She hadn't seen them in several weeks, so when she got to them, she threw her arms around first her mother and then her father.

"Congratulations, sweetie." Temari grinned at her daughter. "I'm so proud of you!"

Shikamaru shook his head, "Now, you'll get to see the sort of trouble you've gotten yourself into. I told you, you should've been a grocer." but his eyes were sparkling and he relented in his teasing. "You're going to be great, kid. Just be careful." He ruffled her untameable blond hair, "Use your head so I don't have to come bail you out of troublesome things, okay?"

Soyokaze smiled lopsidedly and nodded, "Yeah, Pops. You can count on me to avoid trouble." She spotted her cousin and blinked as she recognized the girl. "Kaida? Hey." she waved her hand in a lazy greeting.

Shinji noticed his family and worked his way through the celebrating crowd to where they stood. There was a small circle of clear space around the Aburames, but that was normal.

His mother hugged him and gushed about how her little baby had grown up, ordering him to be careful and not let 'that Nara girl' (she didn't really approve of Soyokaze for some reason) rub off on him.

Shino laid a firm hand on his son's shoulder, not as comfortable with displaying affection as his wife was. "You are a credit to the clan, Shinji. You will make us very proud."

"Thank you father." Shinji smiled, knowing his family would know it was there even hidden behind his mask. "I should go speak to my teammates."

"Of course. We'll see you at home." Shino gently dragged his now blubbering wife away.
