The Land of Fire had never seen such calm, such tranquility and a lack of strife. It was safe for a vir gi n to walk from one end of the country to the other with a sack of gold over her shoulder. No more did this Clan fight that one for every stream and inch of farmland in sight, no longer would sworn brothers turn and stab one another for ownership of a fiefdom. No more did feudal lords rule and act as they pleased. Hashirama of the Senju Clan had seen to that when he built the establishment around you; the Village Hidden in the Leaf, Konohagakure.
It was said he'd built it on his own, using his signature Wood Release to construct many houses and build roads and raise the walls of the Village when the people of the Land of Fire had congregated to it. Then, he'd enacted a swift military campaign with the Daimyo of the country and, alongside his former rival Madara of the Uchiha, he unified the whole of the nation. The Land of Fire was massive now, an empire in its own right, spanning almost three hundred miles north to south and as much east to west. With this, the country had settled into a strange calm, as peaceful as it had ever been. The Shinobi world, it seemed, would finally know true happiness.
Why, then, were you in such pain? You were all alone, and had been all your life. Most of the Village hated you; only a select few individuals showed you kindness, and even /they/ got fed up with your antics.
These were thoughts you usually tried to push away. Now was the time for a little joy and, if you were lucky, acknowledgement. You smiled as you finished your masterpiece on the great stone cliff of Hokage Rock, pulling yourself up the rope so you could get down the steps and admire your artwork before the sun came up. You had, of course, painted your face next to Lord Hashirama's, albeit crudely. Everyone would recognize it, even if your painting skills weren't all that great, so you were happy enough with it. As you mounted the top of the Hokage Rock, you noticed the sun rising gently over the horizon. You had to get away before anyone woke up. |

Before I would go down the steps and rush back to my home, I'll take a few seconds to admire my work, I feel quite pround of the drawing of my face next to the face of the First Hokage, albeit it is a little crude. I feel proud of it. Maybe I'll get some recognition from this, even if it would be a scolding or something. But as of right now, I should go run back home before anyone wakes up.
And so, I run down the steps, rushing to go back to my home. I look back at the drawing one last time to admire it once more to admire it again, then continue to run back home. I have a bit of a smile on my face too. |

Sadly, the time you took to admire your art was a fatal mistake. By the time you reached the bottom of the steps, you found Tetsuo Umino, known to you as Tetsuo-sensei, waiting for you. He was livid, as was the crowd of early-risers behind him. "HACHIMAN!" the large, brown-haired Chunin boomed, "WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE!?"
His voice struck fear into you. Tetsuo was large, not in the way of fat but in sheer muscle and size. He had a kind face normally, and he almost looked fatherly to you. Perhaps that explained why you had so much respect for the man. Everyone did. But now, he seemed angry as he awaited your answer. |

When he shouted at me, I screamed and jumped in terror. Tetsuo-sensei's loud voice had shocked me. Should've run away earlier, the people are already up and awake. "Tetsuo-sensei! Why did you scare me?!" I reply. |

| Tetsuo put his face into one hand and rested his elbow in the other. "Answer me, Hachiman. /Why/ would you deface the Hokage Rock?" He was more gentle now, while conversely the crowd seemed a bit angrier. |

| Definitely should've ran away earlier instead of admiring my work I last time. Definitely. Why I de-faced the Hokage Rock? I don't know. Maybe it's because I wanted some attention. Maybe it's because I want someone to recognize me. I'm lonely and I sometimes hear the people talk bad about me. With all the angry people here, I feel very afraid. I think I should go run, run with all the running power I have. |

(Actually, I have a better response.) Why I had decided to de-face the Hokage Rock? I don't know myself. I had decided to de-face it because...because I wanted some attention. I feel so alone, the ones that show me their kindness would get tired with my shenanigans and I sometimes hear people talking about me badly behind my back. I want some recognition. That's one of the things I want. I don't want to be seen as the biggest disgrace of the village, nobody does. I just don't want to feel this loneliness anymore. But as for my answer, I think I'll go with this. "Like I would tell!' |

| Tetsuo sighed, turning to the crowd. "Go on, I'll deal with Hachi." When the people hesitated, he went livid again "GO." They were quick to comply that time. Then, Tetsuo-sensei approached you. "Get up there and wash it off before classes start. Exams are today. If you fail, you may never become a Genin." He was stern, and from his size you knew better than to disobey. Besides, why would you? Tetsuo-sensei was almost a father to you. |

| "...Alright." I reply back to Tetsuo-sensei. Oh yeah, the exam is today. With my extremely terrible skills,I wonder how I'll even pass the exam. Passing it would probably be a miracle. But I'm gonna try my best. But right now, I need to wash my crudely drawn face off of Hokage Rock. I'll go get the appropriate things I need to clean the badly painted face of mine off of it. |

| The job took you an hour, and by the time you made it to class, the exam had begun and five people had already gone ahead and performed the clone jutsu. Unfortunately for you, you were up next. "Hachiman Namikaze," came the voice of Tetsuo-sensei. You felt yourself gulp without meaning to. The teachers sat at their desk, waiting for you to present yourself. The whole class was watching. |

| Just in time, I guess. I walk up to where I'm supposed to be doing the clone jutsu, feeling a bit nervous right now. But I want to pass, hopefully I can actually do this thing right... Take a deep breath, Hachiman. You can do this. You can make a functioning clone. Just, try. Hope you pass. This'll take a miracle. And so, I start to do the cloning jutsu. |

The attempt is pathetic. Shisui Uchiha had just finished creating three clones of himself, all perfect to the tiniest detail. You made one, and it was lying on the floor, sickly and weak. "Hachiman..." Tetsuo-sensei's voice was full of disappointment. Mizuki spoke up. "Tetsuo, maybe we can simply let him pass? After all, he's shown great improvement, and you know how much he wants to pass."
Umino shook his head. "Hachiman was supposed to create three convincing clones of himself, like Shisui and Camille. Instead, he created one, and it's pathetic. You failed." |

Darn. I couldn't pass. But there's always a next time, right? So, I'll train for the next exam, if there is one. Sigh. Ah, I'm pathetic. But that's not gonna let me down and make me all that sad. I'll try harder, if there's a next time. Maybe I'll even beat those two that did their clones. |

| You waited out the rest of your class period in shame. Then, when the day ended, you were gone, probably off to get ramen at your favorite place. It was there that you were stopped by Mizuki-sensei. "Hachiman," he piped, "there you are! Why the long face?" |

| "You know, I failed the exam..." I reply back. I hope I can pass it next time, if there even is one. I was probably the only guy in the class that failed, am I really that terrible? Sigh. I guess, I am. I was off to get some ramen to cheer myself up, and I was also a bit hungry. Then I run into Mizuki-sensei and now I'm in this situation. |

| "Huh. I /do/ remember that. I guess Iruka hasn't told you about your... /secret/ re-test?" he asked, falling in-step with you. Curiosity tugged at your mind. |

| Mizuki glances at you out of the corner of his eye, grinning. "Oh, yes, Hachiman! A /secret/ re-test. We have to test your abilities in a special way!" He is obviously waiting for you to continue tugging at him for the answer. |

| "In a special way?" Being the naive little b***ard that I am, I believe this. It's Mizuki-sensei, a person I can trust. Of course I would believe him. I'm so curious as to wait the secret re test is! I ##### ## ## now! |

| Mizuki-sensei grinned. "Good, now... Here's the thing, it's a very serious procedure, and everyone's going to treat you as if you've actually committed the crime. You need to sneak into the Hokage's administrative building, get into the office and steal the First Hokage's forbidden jutsu scroll." |

| Oh wow, I have to do that? Seems like... an awesome special way to re test! "Really?!" I say in response to the special way Mizuki-sensei just spoke about. Cool! I'll have to go do something as cool as that? I'm up for it any day! Hehe. |

| "Yep! But here's the catch- you have to hide /really/ well, in the woods within Konoha, near the wall somewhere." He grinned at you. "That way you can, um... Use the scroll for training! And you have to hide well enough so you have time to train before the Jonin find you!" |

| Wow! I get to train with it too? That sounds really really awesome! Should I go do that now? Of course I should! But just in case, "Can I go do it right now?!" I ask Mizuki-sensei. I can't wait to do this! It's gonna be so exciting! |

| Mizuki nodded. "Go on, you rascal! And be sure to get out to hide in the woods within the Village quick, so you have time to master as many techniques as possible!" He smiled at you. |
