((You can change your age but you can't really take the Jonīn exam if you're under 15 <3)) Finally, after a year of studying and training, you'd managed to get a recommendation from the 3rd Hokage and entered the Jonīn exams. Passing the stages turned out to be way more difficult than you'd imagined, but in the end you passed the exam and at the ripe age of 19, acquired the title of Jonīn.

It was all going so perfectly, you'd just received your first mission as a Jonīn, a simple mission of delivering some very important scrolls form the Hokage to neighbouring villages, and after you'd return, you'd be assigned your own Genīn team.

If you'd return, the chances of became next to none the moment you'd seen the black cloak covered with red clouds.

Standing on a bridge, which you had to cross to return to your village, a straw hat with tassels hanging down his face, red eyes with a circular 3-tomoe design and black bangs over his face. It was unmistakable, you'd just ran into Itachi Uchiha.

Why did this happen when you just became a Jonīn?
