Ryōtan, I was a young ninja who lived in the Hidden Grove (Kakushimori no Sato), a small village hidden in the mountains. I had been training in the ninja arts since I was a child, and I am now one of the best students in my class.
One day, I was sent on a mission to the nearby village of Silent Falls. I was tasked with retrieving a stolen scroll that was said to contain powerful secrets. I set out on my journey, and I soon arrived at Silent Falls (Shizukasa no Kakurezato).
The village was deserted, and there was no sign of the scroll. I was about to give up when I heard a noise coming from an abandoned house. I creep inside, to see a group of bandits hiding in the shadows.
The bandits were holding the scroll, and they were planning to sell it to the highest bidder. I knew that they needed to be stopped, so I drew my sword and attacked.
The bandits were surprised by my attack, but they were no match for my skills. I quickly defeated them and recovered the scroll without using any of my chakra for my jutsu.
I returned to the Hidden Grove and delivered the scroll to the Kagehiko (The third shadow of the grove). The Kagehiko was impressed by Ryōtan's skills, and he told him that he was now ready to take on more S-rank (dangerous) missions.
I was too eager to prove myself, and set out on many more missions. I became one of the most respected ninjas in the Hidden Grove (Kakushimori no Sato), and was also known for my bravery and skill. I was also called as the "The Teal Flash of the Grove"
One day, I was sent on a S- rank mission to the enemy village of Mist Village (Kirigakure no Sato). I was tasked with assassinating the enemy leader, who was planning to attack the Hidden Grove.
I infiltrated the Mist Village (Kirigakure no Sato) and made my way to the enemy leader's chambers. I snuck up on the leader and killed him with a single blow of my jutsu, Wind Release: Vacuum Palm (Fūton: Shinkūshō).
The enemy leader's death threw the Mist Village (Kirigakure no Sato) into chaos, and the attack on the Hidden Grove was never carried out. I was hailed as a hero, and was given a high honour in the Hidden Grove (Kakushimori no Sato).
That's where my life took changes and I started to go on more S-Rank missions than expected.
