Dear Ikko, Day 25

I just started thinking about this…what if, in fact, I'm not ready for the universal Chunin exams? I know that past students at our Academy said that our national exams were pretty simple. But now that I'm going to the Land of Fire…there's going to be so many more students to go up against. I am going to get crushed. Although, since I have to compete with 2 other team members, maybe they'll put me in a group with some of their better students. Or…maybe they won't let me take the exam. I don't know what to do. But I do know that I will do whatever it takes to get into those exams and pass them…for Kisho-sensei, Sora, and Yuri.
