Day 1: "I passed the Genin Exams!! I'm finally a ninja on my own path and not the one my family expected me to follow haha.. yeah.. I feel free... but once I walked out of those academy gates for the last time with my headband clutched in my hand, I knew deep down it would only get harder from here... This is the bloody mist after all, ninja have died for no more than a funny look out here.

But that's how its always been on these streets, beggars, commoners too disgusted to look you in the eye, I should be proud to be here and to be born into one of the great clans of this village, Kazuki.. My father's clan I should say, The clan I choose to follow suit is no more, they've all been Exiled long before I was born, well all except my mother. Its too bad I'll never get a chance to see that side of my family, it must've been bad towards the end because my mother wont even talk about it, but I see the pain in her eyes when she looks at the picture hung over the fireplace.

I guess its not all bad though, I did manage to meet two new Genin as well @Wyski and @Dogtreats.. I'm pretty sure that's not his real name but I don't mind, although I think I'm gonna start calling him BigDog, We were assigned a mission to familiarize ourselves with the village and the essential villagers who run shops and daily guards who keep watch over our village gates, When the mission was complete we all went to the lake to train.

Honestly... It was the most fun I've had in a very long time."

Day 2: "I handled my assigned missions for the day with BigDog, after everything had settled we decided to explore into the mainland, it was full of vicious bears and animals I never thought id see in my life. we ended up in Takumi Village and spoke to a little girl so told us about secret seals which would reveal a hidden location in the village, but what she failed to mention were the ghost's inside... I couldn't believe my eyes, once we entered the cave we noted some grave stones and a sealed gate.

As we approached the gate we heard a whisper from the other side it spoke in riddles which ultimately told us if we could free 7 true souls they would guide us to some sort of reward, so we lured and defeated 7 of the ghosts, the next part was a bit harder to figure out the riddle told us something along the lines of seeking deaths point of view or own view, Tired of looking around for a switch we ended up taking a break on the stone slabs one of them shifted like a plate trigger opening one of the grave doors, we slowly climbed through and ended up on the other side of the gate.

We were met by a dim red light as the whisper grew louder, asking us to free him from this realm and in return he would give us secret knowledge. It was a tough battle but we managed... the spirit inside the gate asked us to take his bones and preform the purifying ritual by setting his bones on fire with the royal flames in the middle of the room. Before his essence disappeared he kept true to his word and imparted onto us knowledge of a jutsu he created when he was alive! He called it the Transformation jutsu, I didn't have the heart to tell him that every ninja in the world knew this jutsu... but nonetheless we accepted it!

From there we we're still trying to explore more of the mainland, so we ventured into the desert eventually finding ourselves in the Sand Village territory! luckily we were fortunate enough to use our newly found jutsu on a pair of enemy ninja who was found taking a nap outside the village gates, once inside we learned a little about their culture but the prize of this adventure was finding out that they also had seals hidden in the dessert! We took our time seeking them out ultimately finding them all but alas there was no hidden secret to uncover... Or at least not one we could see. we calked it up to an interesting coincidence.

Finally we headed out of the desert and into the forest as far north as we could go finding ourselves on the outskirts of Leaf Village territory, we snuck inside stealthily avoiding contact with the ninja gathering in their village center. We made our way inside a few buildings to check things out eventually meeting an elder man who told us about some seals he placed around the village back in the day to close the sewers off from enemies (I don't think he realized we weren't Leaf Ninja). We searched and removed the seals.

By the time we finished up it was getting late and knew by staying in the Leaf Village we were only putting ourselves in danger so we left swiftly! running as fast as we could never looking back we made it past the forest and ultimately back to the asoki port village where we stopped to rest then boarded the boat eastbound back home. It was dark as we offboarded the boat and I knew if it got any later I would hear about it all night from my mother, so I said goodbye to BigDog and headed home right away.

Man what a day."

Day 3 - 5: "My father had a mission at the boarder of the Cloud Village, and my mother wanted to take the opportunity to go sight seeing so she insisted I came along. It was honestly worth it just to get away and surround myself in the strange mountain peaks for a while, I kind of took it as my congratulations for becoming a Genin since we don't celebrate much of anything now a days, but as I thought that to myself my father showed up with a present for me! He said "With this you can learn to survive anywhere", As I unwrapped it I knew it was a fishing rod... but I still wanted to seem excited for my mothers sake, on the way back we stopped at an Inn and ate some of the could villages best foods and that was the real present hahaha!

Someday id like to go back but hopefully as a visit and not as enemies."

Day 6: "I woke up refreshed and feeling more confident in myself, as I was walking out of my home I seen BigDog training his jutsu, we ended up hanging out and doing our assigned mission together but he couldn't stick around afterwards. It was okay I had a chance to train my jutsu, and even practiced learning a new Jutsu! I've been working on it for a while and my mom called it "Chakra Scalpels" she said it was a jutsu she learned around my age as well!

Soon after a messenger bird came with a message saying id have new assigned missions shortly so I got ready for that, as I was gathering my tools and needed items I met @Gooch, He was about to start his assigned missions as well so we decided to team up, The rest of the day was mostly consistent of us hunting down wild boar within our village limits (Man there were a ton of them, even when we finished up our quota we were still fending them off). Night came and we had finished everything so I figured it was a good time to try out my fishing rod.

I spent hours at Waters Way near the fishing docks, I said hi to Wasptar as I usually do when I pass by him, but this time I actually got to fish with him! I caught multiple different kinds of fish and ended up selling them for some extra ryo. I think I'm gonna start keeping a fishing log to help track what and how many fish I've caught, anyways fishing is a lot more fun than I was expecting, it turned out to be a great gift.

I have to be sure to thank my father."
