This is indeed sad to read. The game itself is hard at the beginning, things like that make it even harder and confusing and imo. also make people quit the game fast.
If you really want a good experience and have people helping you to learn etc. you should really consider joining the Sand village. The whole village is putting in a LOT of effort to welcome newbies and helping them where they can, you will always find a high level guiding you or giving you assistance in quests that seem to be a bit harsh. If thats nothing for you tho and you really want to stay in leaf, then you can also go the rogue path for now. It might be a bit harder since people at Rogue are not always helpful and just mind their own business but i would be glad to tell you via Discord (my discord name is: someluffy) a small guide of what you should do right now and where you can level. At some point you would also be able to join back to Leaf but keep in mind that an exile can be completely random and doesn't need a reason, so it might happen again, hard to tell. Just think about it, but do give the game another chance, please.
