Summary: Hatake Riku, 14, genin medical student and recent infiltrator (and successful liberator of over a dozen prisoners) of Sound, wants to take the Chuunin Exams in Mist. So soon after the Fourth Mizukage’s highly mysterious disappearance, the Exams are flooded with teams.

Riku’s team may be the only one from Konoha, but they’re not the only familiar faces in the competition. He’ll have to navigate three test phases, figure out what Sound wants with him now, and find a place in a world he’s increasingly unsure has room for someone like him.

Summary: Side-stories for Becoming Ninja, for scenes that wouldn’t work from Riku’s POV. Probably won’t make much sense unless you read that first.[obligatory it takes a village to raise a child reference]

Chapter Summary: The ninja world actually runs on documentation. A series of requests, letters, documents, and forms written in the wake of Riku's decision to take the Chuunin Exams in Sound.
