20. Day 30

Dear Ikko, Day 30

I am on the ferry. The breeze is nice and the water is beautiful. I'm just glad that I can stop walking and still be traveling. Although, I don't think I've covered as much ground as I had anticipated at this point.

I think I've devised a way to hide my ears and tail. My hitai-ate can unfold to cover my head like a hat. I'll just tuck my ears under it. And my tail…well…um…I'd rather not talk about that method. You get the point. Anyway—

Now I look fairly normal. Well, except the fact that I'm a shenobi from a village no one's ever heard of before. I still get curious eyes and "murmuring's" at the sight of the symbol on my headband—the 3, 4-sided stars that represent the 3 tribes of my village and the 4 head families of each tribe. I know I can't get discouraged. I have to be strong. I have to keep my head high. Maybe this is the Mission that Yuri was talking about. Maybe my Mission is to become a Chunin and revive the honor that they never had a chance to have.
