				It hadn't been that long since Team 11 had been created.&nbsp; Merely a month or two, really.&nbsp; But within that time, things in the hidden village had changed drastically.<br><br>Ever since the new Hokage had been instated, there were a number of things that came to the fore.&nbsp; Every week, there were people who left the village, ninja that once had been well respected and valued.&nbsp; Civilians who held experience in many different aspects of life- restaurant owners, laundromat technicians, cooks, farmers, just about anyone with a job.&nbsp; Basically, within the first month of the new Hokage's rule, almost 15% of the population of Konoha had left the village.<br><br>Yet, missions still came in daily from people moving into the village, those that remained, and other missions that continued to be amazingly important to the village's ability to sustain itself.&nbsp; New blood came, and old blood bled out.&nbsp; Those who disagreed with the new Hokage left while those who knew no better about him came to replace the departing people.&nbsp; Those who left often set up homes outside of Konoha, in other villages throughout the Land of Fire.<br><br>But some, who might remain nameless, preferred the chance to start anew, to build a name for their family and their skills... in a completely different land.&nbsp; <br><br>For those still in the academy, such things were far from those young minds.&nbsp; One such young man, merely 16 and yet very nearly 17 years old, was already at kunai practice under the main school floors of the place.&nbsp; He smiled slightly, tugging a little on his leather vest as it rested over the brown shirt he wore.&nbsp; Both were without sleeves, giving the boy as much dexterity as he could muster as he through a pair of kunai at the targets down his lane.&nbsp; The dart-like objects struck true, in the second ring beyond the bull's eye.&nbsp; He didn't have the greatest accuracy, as some in the class were capable of striking true bull's eyes almost all the time.&nbsp; But these targets were moving, which made the difficulty just a little higher.<br><br>Pulling another pair of kunai from his side, he fired them off one by one this time rather than at the same time, at the prone target even further away.&nbsp; The first struck just above the top target's bull's eye, and the second landed below that by perhaps an inch and a half.&nbsp; The targets were the size of a human, and there were several bull's eyes- the top was the person's head.&nbsp; The lower was the heart.&nbsp; And smaller targets were the joints of the legs and arms.&nbsp; The wooden thunk of the target's being knocked over from the momentum of his kunai got a few laughs and at least a little applause from the class before the teacher walked into the lane and marked things down on his clipboard.<br><br>"Tch... fine.&nbsp; Arlyn, you got an 89% on this exercise.&nbsp; Not bad, but you know that when you become a ninja they'll force you to do better.&nbsp; It's a drag, but you gotta do it."&nbsp; &nbsp;The kid nodded and the teacher motioned for him to get his kunai before he got out of the way to watch the next student in the adjacent lane.<br><br>"Alright, Mr. Nara." Arlyn replied, to which the older chuunin just rolled his eyes and muttered something about troublesome teens.&nbsp; Picking up his kunai from the target, he propped the target back into place and then went to get his weapons from the slowly swaying targets before he got out of the way as well for the next student to go up for practice.
