Genin Exam

Shan has walked home after that night tired and sore, but those weren’t the worst of his aches. His mind was sore. He didn’t want to think about that incident.

Thinking about it made him mad. So it was that Shan went the next few weeks in a perpetual state of anger and ignorance. Ignorance of the world, that is. He was ready to leave this village behind. Strike out and become his own man.

Yet, he wanted to become a genin first. Something about the idea of becoming a genin appealed to him. Maybe it was the idea of getting the headband only to throw it in the village’s face.

So, thats why Shandian Hiraishin sat at his desk filling out an annoying essay on what led him to this point in life. Sure, he could write about awakening his eye at birth, meeting an uchiha that terrifies him, befriending Scarlett and robbing a bank, training until his sweat and blood stained the floor, and being betrayed by Scarlett. What was the point, though? What would this institution do? Have him begin to do meaningless errands in an effort to make him stronger? No, it was to maintain the power of the village and not the individual. That didn’t appeal to Shan in the slightest. Of course, he would be underneath a Jounin then, but that didn’t seem like what he wanted either. What he wanted was power that he could take for himself. He didn’t want Power to just be given to him.

No, Shan wanted to enjoy the feeling of grabbing the source of power and making it his own. That was why he planned while he wrote. His first course of action should probably be to head to Konoha. He knew that he wasn’t strong enough to destroy the Uchiha clan, not yet. However, there had to be valuable information on their eyes in their village. Besides that, Shan had heard the Hokage possessed similar but different eye powers to those held by both Shan and the Uchiha. It would be important to gather information about everyone with eye abilities. What could they do and where could he find them?

It was important because he was going to defeat one of them in combat and steal their eye. Just one, as he wanted to keep his own abilities. However, he knew of an Hiraishin who said their eye functioned just as well with only one eye. That meant that Shan could replace one of his eyes with an eye of another clan. What would happen if he combined their powers? It would be unimaginable strength. Shan just had to decide what Eye paired the best with his own. Sadly, he currently had no idea what any of them did - but Konoha seemed as good a place to start as any other.

Of course, he did have another reason for wanting to go to Konoha. Every village had jutsu that they kept the scrolls locked down and hidden. It was a long source of tension between the clan and Konoha that they were the only ones with access to a specific technique created by Hiraishin Minato. Now, Shan didn’t know what it did but he could become the first Hiraishin since Minato himself to wield that technique if he could steal the scroll and learn it. It was a big of but The Konoha had no right to withhold an Hiraishin technique from the clan of its creator - even if said Hiraishin had somehow become Hokage.

Shan looked down at his paper and realized that he had described his plan - in detail- onto the paper. Growing in frustration, he ripped up the piece of paper and began to start over. An hour later, Shan turned the paper in. He walked out of that room a Genin and never looked back.
