The New genin avoided people as she usually did. a new rank wouldn’t change how they looked at her so she spent her time in a tree, eyes closed in thought. What would her team be like? Would they be able to work with a monster like her? Would they use her as cannon fodder because of who she was, what she was? She exhaled slowly as these thoughts threatened to consume her as always. When she opened her eyes a messenger bird was perched in front of her like it had been waiting there forever. “are you going to hate me too?” she asked it as she reached for it. It was well trained, and didn’t shy away from her. She took the message and it flew away.

You are to convene on the morning dew Islet, east of the village. You will await further instructions there. [/i][/center]

No signature, just a very brief and to the point message. And yet all Natsume could think of was how much she hate looking at her own name written down. From all the stories she knew about her cursed last name, just looking at it made her skin crawl. She glanced again at the other two names. They seemed a bit familiar but she never paid any mind to who was in her class at the academy. The fact that she didn’t recognize their names meant they were never any of the ones that antagonized her when she was younger. Lucky for them. 

She let herself out of the tree by leaning to the side and doing a mid air cartwheel to land lightly on the ground below. Dew Islet was a small island on the water not too far from the edge of the village. Its one of the non-traditional training grounds. Usually used for the walking on water technique. It floods during high tide almost disappearing completely. She headed that way, taking the long way around the village to avoid going through its center. She crossed the water easy enough, stumbling a couple times on the waves but making it to the islet with no other troubles. The mist on the water almost made her miss it. And yet she doubted her new team mates would make that mistake.
