The images of his horrible performance in the exam finals still lingered in Arata's head. He could not believe he let himself be blinded by his own goal to be different from Sasuke and Itachi that he let himself loose a chance at becoming a Chunin. Minato's words still rang in his head along with the aches from the powerful wind attack that threw him to the wall. All he could think of is how people would look at him now, instead of fear or hatred they would probably look at him as a failure of a Uchiha.
Cool air blew in the night sky as Arata walked down the now calm streets of the village. He could hear distant celebrations in the distance that probably came from those who got promoted to the rank of Chunin. Though he did not think it mattered much what rank you were it was still tough for him to except that he had let himself fail, with how things went even if they did work better as a team he was not sure they could have won.
Even though the exams were finished earlier that day Arata could not help but to want to leave. He wanted to get home where he can train and become a better shinobi in order to prove himself to those who might doubt him. Shaking his head he slipped a thumb beneath the strap of his bag well the other sank into his pants pocket. Nearing the boarder Arata paused to look back as he promised himself that next time he will be better.
"There is always next time..."

Hey Arata, Hey wait up... Guoduan said in a huffing voice as he ran up to catch the leaf nin.
When he finally caught the leaf nin he would sit there catching his breath for a second. He held one finger toward Arata, just one second, man... you move fast. He said as he finally caught his breath I brought you something.
He handed a several pages of drawings to Arata and one photo, these are from our adventures here at the exams.
This is a drawing of when you guys beat those cloud nin, and this is our fight with the giant bug. This is a drawing of how we all met at the ramen shop remember.
Then pointing to the photo he said and this is a photo my Sensei took of the three of us getting ready for the exams.
See it even has our team name, he said pointing to the bottom of the photo in bold which stated Team Ramen Shop Truce.
Guoduan noticed that Arata had seemed upset when he approached but seeing the pictures might have put him in a better mood. Plus i wanted to give you this he said as he handed Arata a small badge that had the symbol of Sunagakure on it.
It a badge i got when i graduated the academy, i know it may not mean much but i wanted you to know you will always have a friend in Sunagakure. He said as a small tear rolled down his cheek, sniffling he wiped up the tear really quick trying to pretend like nothings wrong.

Hearing his name being yelled Arata stopped to look back seeing Guoduan running up to him. Sighing he was expecting to hear him either gloat or get mad at Arata for loosing the finals for them. Turning to face him he was ready to accept anything from him, Arata did mess things up after all. Then a look of shock came over him as he took the gifts that were being given to him. Especially the last one almost made his mouth drop, looking up he could see a tear roll down Guoduans face.
"Why? I screwed up the finals for you..."
It was all he could think of to say as he looked down again at the gifts that he received. There was not many that really seemed to consider Arata a friend, no matter how much he tried. He must say it felt great to have a friend like this, yet he still had to wonder why he would want to be his friend.

Guoduan just smirked at Arata you didn't ruin anything. If anything you made it the most memorable moment of my life, there will always be another exam. But that doesn't mean there will be people who fought by my side like you did. Your a great person Uchiha Arata you should be proud of everything we accomplished, you lead us through thick and thin. Trust me its just a matter of time before your village promotes you.
Guoduan reached out to shake Arata's hand with a smile, I am proud to have fought by your side, win or lose.
Then Guoduan dove in and gave Arata a brotherly hug. There was a light female voice sounding out from behind them guoduan..guoduan, we gotta go...
Well that's my sensei Guoduan said releasing the hug i hope to see you again Arata.

Hearing the Guoduan's words put a look of shock over his face as he misjudged another person. Slowly he placed his hand into his fellow shinobi well still holding the gifts in the other. A smirk came to his face when he spoke of being proud to fight along Arata's side, even though they ended up loosing.
"I was proud..."
There was a pause in his words as Guoduan came in for a hug, his left outward as he was not usually a hugging person. Though he gave him a quick hug back with a slightly awkward laugh being taken aback by the Suna-nins actions.
"...proud to fight at your side as well"
After backing out of the hug Arata heard a lady call out for Guoduan to hurry up. With a rather large smile he waved goodbye to his new found friend, feeling a little better about the exams.
"See you around"
