This was something Tobi never thought he'd see himself doing. He was no speaker, nor was he of any charismatic alignment. He was, however, a graduate of the academy, and from where he stood, he would deem it no less than an unexpected honor to be presented with this task.
The speech was nigh. With a pounding heart, an uneasy stomach, and an expression that told of neither ailment, Tobi stepped forward. He held a set of note cards, his speech inscribed upon them, serving as his only safety net for the event.
Drawing his final, shaking breath before beginning, Tobi's eyes settled upon the audience that had gathered.
"We stand here today to honor the tireless studies and undying persistence of twenty-five students--twenty-five of Iwagakure's future protectors." Voice catching in his throat, he paused to regain his composure. His knees were weak beneath him, yet every pair of eyes that were upon him urged him onward, and he couldn't dare say no.
"Throughout their journey toward this moment, they have witnessed the things that make a shinobi noble at heart, humble in need, and strong in body and mind. The foundation of this honorable lifestyle has been bestowed upon these eager, young shinobi, and in there hands lies the future of our great nation." Pausing once more, Tobi turned toward the line of students for a moment. His eyes flitted between the cards in his hands and the children at his side, a hard lump forming in his mouth as he prepared to speak again. A moment was taken to gauge the response thus far, although Tobi was too nervous to make anything of what he would see.
