Students who enroll at this academy are taught early on the basics of becoming a shinobi. They are taught to love to put their lives on the line to defend their village. They are also taught how to battle underwater, a trait possessed only by those hailing from Ame. Because underwater combat is the village's specialty, the students must learn to make due above ground as well. The sensei here are strict, but it reflects a positive image on the grades and performence of their students.
