Hello my lovelies,

Just a side note, but if you have any ideas or questions, please PM me or leave a review and I will address it as quickly as possible.

Anyways on to zee chapter!

On a sunny afternoon, the weather is perfect for training, I make my way to the training ground. But when I get to the training field it seems like I'm not the only one. I stand, just amazed at the sheer number of genin training here. Tons are practicing in groups, or individually, just testing all their skills, but to me it just seems to be a minefield. If you don't watch yourself, you can get hit with a kunai, or get struck with a another person. Why is everybody out today? And why is there no one to supervise? My thoughts were interrupted by a dango-loving kunoichi, and causes me to yelp.

"Oi, Mizuki! You still in there?" Anko asks.

"Ah, Anko! Don't sneak up on me like that!" I reply.

"That's you fault." She laughs and tosses me a scroll. "Congrats by the way." Then she disappears.

"Wait what, Anko!?" I inspect the given scroll. "Well, what do we have here?" I walk over to a tree, sitting in the shade of a branch. At least there is some privacy here. I untie the scroll and unravel its contents.

Addressed to: Lady Mizuki Murakami

You have been selected as an on-duty proctor for the upcoming Chunin exams that will take place in one week. As ambassador of independent clans, you will especially monitor those belonging to the separate clans attending the exams. Participation is required.

In the first stage, you will supervise the genins while they are taking the written test, to prevent them from "cheating".

he second stage takes place in a restricted training area, the Forest of Death. This stage will go over a course of three days. In the Forest, genin teams will have to steal the opposite scroll of the one they received in the beginning. Survival is up to the cooperation of the team, as all necessary resources are in the Forest itself. You will be stationed at the tower, to check if the arriving teams have both scrolls.

You are not required to attend the third stage - if you wish to do so, you may help as a medical attendee.

If you have any questions, please address Anko or Ibuki.

From the Third Hokage,

Hiruzen Sarutobi

The Chunin exams, huh? This will be interesting! Smiling to myself, I jump off to the hokage's office, checking out and racing back home. After a 30 minute run, I finally approach my compound. The high walls blockade enemies and the guards straighten up as I come to a running stop.

"Mizuki-sama!" They bow in unison.

"Raise your heads, there is no need for such formalities. We're all family, aren't we?" I smile. Honestly, I can never get used to this. If an ambassador is treated like this, what about a Hokage!

"Mizuki-sama, your generosity is gracious, but you are the next heir of our clan- so you are of a higher rank than us."

"And my father and the Hokage are higher than me, so save your formalities for them."

"Yes, Mizuki-sama!"

I sigh. They never learn, do they? Passing the gates and sliding the door to the main house, I try to find my father and mother, to share the good news. I pass through room after room, and when I still don't find them, I begin to worry. Finally, I see them in the meeting room, both sitting across from each other, looking concerned about something. I take in a deep breath and ready myself for the formalities.

"Excuse me mother, father, but I have news."

"Ah, Mizuki, um, so do we…..?" Mother glances at Father.

"Yes, so please - do sit down." My father gestured to the seat to the left.

I have no idea of what they are about to tell me. Traditionally, I sit with my legs under me, staying silent until given permission to speak. I keep a calm face, but, I have to admit, my father's serious expression somewhat scares me. His stern eyes seem to bore holes into the space in front of him. The thick tension is suffocating.

"Whatever you want to say, please say it now."

"Oh, um okay, Mother, Father, I have been addressed by the Hokage to supervise the chunin exams." I hand the scroll to them. Taking the time to read the kanji, my mother smiled, but my father was unfazed.

"Be careful, Mizuki. Be on your guard at all times."

I respond obediently, "Absolutely, Father."

"Since that matter is understood, we have some news that might not please you…" My mother said, slightly worried. If this is another marriage proposal then I-"The Hokage had taken into consideration that since you are the ambassador, it would be sensible for you to be able to journey to other villages and learn about them, particularly their fighting strategies and their shinobi. Therefore, he has requested that you join the Anbu." What the-

What in the world would the Anbu want with me? I'm not the best fighter, nor the best strategist. This might be worse than the marriage proposal. But refusing an order from the Hokage is a serious breach in etiquette - even if the order is optional - not to mention that it would leave a bad impression on my clan.

"By joining the Anbu, you will increase your skills, allowing you to have complete control over your abilities in the field. The Anbu are aware of Hanketsu and its abilities, so you will be taking a special training course." Well, I've got no choice, do I? But still… they maybe after my Hanketsu.

I sigh, and make up my mind. "I accept the proposal." Father looks relieved - whereas Mother looks even more worried. Great. Now I get to train 24/7, go on a bunch of missions that almost always end up with me sitting on rooftops the whole day, spying on people, and barely getting enough sleep. Boring as hell.

"Mizuki, by the end of this training, you will be able to take on an Akatsuki." Interesting… This offer might not be so bad. "After making your decision, you are to report immediately to the Hokage, and receive your instructions."

"I understand." They nod, and wave me off. Once I make it out the gates, I start to bolt, heading straight for the Hokage's office.

I arrive in 5 minutes. I knock on the door and enter, and am shocked to see that there is an Anbu member already standing there. The Hokage is sitting at his desk, and smiles when he sees me. "Ah, Mizuki! I had a feeling you would say yes."

"Hokage-sama."

You have the Chunin exams to supervise, so the training will be postponed until a week after the entrance into the Anbu is to remain secret." I nod to him."May I remind you that not only is this training beneficial, but it is also dangerous. Countless of operatives have been killed in the field, are you sure that you are capable for this?"

Hesitantly, I respond, "Yes, sir."

"You are dismissed." I bow to him and the Anbu member, and take my leave.
