Rowan Iron-furred was finally leaving the Furred Monkey Clan in hopes of getting stronger and helping his brother with his faith issue.
Unfortunately, there was a rule in place for those that want to leave the clan. They had to defeat someone from their own generation as proof of their strength.
Rowan packed a small bag with some of his clothes and a few gold coins. He didn't worry about food and just packed some spices. He then looked for an elder so that they can schedule his leave.
There wasn't anything major going on in the clan so gathering all the people of Rowan's generation was easy. Looking at all the Warriors of the Furred Monkey Clan, Rowan was ready to choose his opponent but before he could choose someone, he heard the elder's voice.
"Rowan of the Iron-furred family. You're opponent has already been selected. Let's see if you will be leaving here today," the elder said and then motioned to someone to step forward. A huge muscular body clouded Rowan's vision.
Henry Diamond-furred. How could Rowan forget the person who would leave him on the verge of death during their sparring matches. "Looks like the clan leaders doesn't want the person that has brought shame on our clan to leave."
"So they arranged a fight between the clan's shame and the clan's scum right," Rowan smirked which caused Henry to angrily rush towards him. Rowan kept the smirk on his face as Henry approached as all of this was apart of his plan.
Henry aimed for the smirk on Rowan's face but Rowan just looked on as the fist approached his face. Before the fist could reach his face though, he grabbed Henry's fist and pulled it towards himself. He used two fingers to stab Henry in the throat.
Henry clutched his throat and stumbled backwards. At this time Rowan was already on the ground using a leg sweep to sweep Henry off his feet. He lifted his foot into the air before bringing it down on Henry's legs in rapid succession, breaking both of them.
"MY SSOOONNNN!" the elder's voice bellowed throughout the arena. "EVERYONE ATTACK!!" On the elder's command everyone pulled out spears and throwing knives before throwing them.
Rowan looked at the projectiles coming towards him and smiled. Chakra started flowing from every part of his body. He took a spinning stance before screaming, "Eight trigrams! Palm Rotation!"
Rowan spun around at a fast pace which created a type of dome which sent all the spears and throwing knives flying. The people were preparing to rush towards him but he only placed his fingers together to create a type of cross.
"Multi-shadowclone jutsu!" six puffs of smoke surrounded Rowan and six clones appeared around him with red eyes. "Demon Illusion, Mirage Crow Barrage!" Everyone looked as if in a trance.
Shock filled the eyes of the elder but shock soon turned into anger. He personally rushed towards Rowan whilst fur started covering his body. His tail unfurled from his waist. His tail slowly turned a type of see-through blue colour.
Rowan's clones disappeared and his eyes also turned red. He looked at the elder and saw energy gushing towards his skin and then it dawned on him. The elder was from the Diamond-furred family whose fur could become as strong as diamonds.
Noticing that the transformation wasn't finished yet, Rowan took another stance before closing his eyes. The elder saw this and laughed at the boy's puny resistance before reaching in front of the boy. The elder pulled his fist back but he only heard the boy mutter, "You have entered my range."
"EIGHT TRIGRAMS! 64 PALMS!" two palms smashed into the elder's chest and stomach area, followed by another two, followed by another four, followed by another eighth, followed by another sixteen, followed by another 32.
As the last two palms fell on the elder's body, Rowan could see the fur change from blue to black before falling off. Rowan walked towards his small bag, picked it up and walked towards the gate.
As he left through the gate, he mumbled nothing but a short sentence, "Sorry Zelly, and goodbye."

*Growl* Rowan's stomach was rushing him to find a nearby restaurant. Unfortunately, he was lost since this was his first time outside of the clan grounds. So far, every 'restaurant' he has found was a bar where he got thrown out of.
As Rowan roamed the street, his nose smelled something delicious. He followed his nose towards the smell of food and found himself moving through an alleyway. As he exited the alleyway, his eyes was filled with lots of small stalls and these stalls were filled with everything.
Rowan smelled the air and the most delicious smell came from a small BBQ shop. He went closer and sat on a table that was close to where the chef was busy grilling BBQ. As he looked at the pieces of BBQ Rowan's stomach growled again and he started drooling.
"Pops! There's another hungry boy here!" an energetic voice rang through the air. Rowan looked at where the voice was coming from and saw a short girl looking at him. "What are you looking at?" the girl asked with annoyance.
Rowan didn't know how to deal with overbearing girls and instead asked for five pieces of BBQ. The girl laughed and asked if Rowan could even afford five pieces but Rowan just ignored her and took out a single gold coin.
"Will this be enough?" Rowan asked but once he looked at the owner and rude girl's faces, he probably took out far more than is necessary. Unfortunately, he didn't have any less. On the contrary, he only had more.
Rowan kept the coin in his hand and said, "I might also need a map, a place to stay and some information." The owner looked at the coin and nod his head before gulping down some spit that was forming in his mouth.
"We have a spare room you can use. I can give you a map later. While it is still light outside, my daughter can give you a tour around the area," the owner said and nudged the girl forward.
The girl looked at her father with puppy eyes but he just gave her a smile. She sighed and looked at Rowan before introducing herself as Angelique Pekeur. Rowan shook her hand and used a fake name he decided to use from now on.
"I am Rowan Uchiha. Nice to meet you…"
