Kakashi walked down the round hallway towards the Hokage's office. He was asked to report the news himself to the third and look over Erin's test.

He stuffed his hands deep into his pockets, his mind full of thoughts about yesterday's test.

'I have never seen anything like that before.' Kakashi couldn't help but wonder where that massive control of chakra came from. The energy he felt from her was massive.

Kakashi knocked on the door of the thirds office, "Come in!" He heard the deep voice of the Hokage. He walked in and bowed.

"So, the results?" The Hokage immediately jumped straight to the matter.

Kakashi cleared his throat, "Right," he looked into his eyes, "She passed, sir."

The Hokage nodded with a hum, "I suppose Daiji was correct. Anything else you fan report about the test?"

Kakashi thought for a moment before he spoke, "Actually, there is something." He said, immediately catching the Hokage's attention.

"There is something about her chakra...that i just can't figure out." Kakashi mumbled as his mind circled back to that Test.

The Hokage looked at him his eyes showing seriousness, "That is the Tamaya chakra. Not many awaken it in their clan, do you think it was that?" The tone that the third had was threatening, for some reason Kakashi decided to lie to make sure there won't be consequences for Erin.

Kakashi shook her head, "No, I don't think that is it. But she does have amazing chakra control."

The Hokage nodded, "I see." He seemed a bit disappointed about Kakashi's answer.

The Hokage sighed, "Well with that being said i simply want you to keep following that order i gave you and keep an eye out." The third said and leaned back into his chair.

Kakashi nodded and bowed, walking out of the office, wanting to figure out who the hell was Erin Tamaya.

"Erin!" Daiji yelled from the living room, making sure she is ready.

"Hold on!" Erin yelled from her room. Daiji sighed and kept reading that same plain blue book.

Erin looked down as she held her headband in her hand. She looked up at her mirror and tied the headband onto her head, her brown bangs hanging on the sides of her face.

Her green eyes were full of determination. She smirked to herself and walked out of her room.

Daiji looked up from his book at Erin, he smiled proudly as he saw the headband on her head and stood up, Erin smiled back at him.

Daiji walked up to her and hugged her tightly, stroking her hair, "Are you sure you want to go alone?" He knew she was smart and independent, but he couldn't help but be worried.

"Yes, I'm sure." She mumbled into his shirt.

Daiji let her go, "Alright then, good luck!" He grinned down at her.

Erin nodded with a smile and walked past him to the door.

Daiji watched as she put her shoes on, wondering when did she grow up so fast, it had only been a few weeks since they arrived.

"Bye." Erin said as she opened the door.

"Bye, Erin!" Daiji smiled and waved to her as the door closed.

Erin walked along the path to the academy she remember all too well. That was the only thing she had thought about.

Finally becoming a ninja, made her feel a little complete in a way. It was a new beginning and she liked it.
