What a Shinobi Is Made Of!!

The Beginning
Jozoun Gremachi sat atop the roof of the Hidden Leaf Village. Pondering his uncertain future. He'd been a Chunin for two years now, and was still not quite experienced enough to lead a team. He had been offered several times to become a team captain, however, every time he refused. He was tired, however. He decided to think about his future later.

The next morning he awoke, ate breakfast, and went out to train in the forest. While he practiced his Flame Clone spying technique, he thought a little more about his future.

"I'm not sure what lies ahead." He says. "I hope I'm up for whatever challenges await me."

On his last training run, he noticed movement in the bushes. Going to investigate, he saw a footprint, and several scratch marks on the trees.

"Well, this is interesting..." Jozoun mumbled. "Is anyone here!?"

No response. Whatever was here was gone now. But something human was obviously here...

"I should probably report this to the Hokage...but...Do I want to cause a panic?!"
