25. Day 50

Dear Ikko, Day 50

Today I stopped in the village Ryonomaru to check on the exam schedule and look at a map (not that my "inner-wolf compass" was faulty or anything…). It seems that I am 60 or more days away from the Village Hidden in the Leaves and…the exams are in another 6-7 months. So when I get there, I'm going to have to wait—again. My day has gone perfect…

I suppose I should be a little more patient. Traveling takes time. I know that. I now see why this trip was claimed "inattemptable" in my village. I just have to keep up my confidence. I have to keep telling myself I have things to look forward to—the promise I made to Rina, Koroku, Sora and Yuri and the accomplishment of the trip. All these things will keep me going until I reach my goal.
