The time had finally come and thankfully so. Not only was he getting out of this awkward situation, but he was also about to get his headband. The first sign that showed people that you were finally a ninja even if it was a genin. Most didn't care about the status of genin since it didn't really warrant much. It wasn't until you became a Chuunin that most usually respected you. Maybe he and his squad could change that. They could be the first genin squad that could outclass a group of Chuunin. He could dream big, couldn't he? He knew that he had the potential for it. Not only was he a Uchiha, but he was also one that had awakened his clan's Kekkei Genkai at such an early age. He was pretty rare and some would even consider him a prodigy for it. If only they knew what he had to go through just to be able to unlock it.

Arashi made his way into the line when Mina told them to line up. He was in front of Mia, but wasn't close enough to the front as he wanted to be. When it was his turn to get his headband he was more than excited. He picked up one with black cloth. He always preferred that to the typical blue. He gripped it in his hand and started to shake as if it he were nervous or scared. No one would have seen him act like this before and it concerned Mina Sensei. She reached for his shoulder with a concerned look on her face saying, [color=f26522]"Arashi... Ar--."[/color]

He cut her off by looking at her with a determined smile. [color=0076a3]"I couldn't be better, Mina Sensei. I made it. I'm a genin."[/color] He was glad that he had cut his bangs the night before or else he would have had to put his headband somewhere other than his forehead. He wanted to wear it proudly so that everyone could see that Arashi Uchiha had finally started his journey as a shinobi. He tied it around his head and finally made it back to his seat still with a smile on his face.

Reality hadn't completely sunken in with him though. Unlike the others he didn't think much about who he would end up pairing with in his squad. He knew that he wouldn't be in the same squad as another Uchiha. That would be too stacked in their favor. He just hoped that he and his squad would get along and get stronger together. Maybe they could help him with his goal of changing the way people viewed the Uchiha clan.
