"I've heard about enough from you, Iruka." An old man yelled while sitting behind his desk. He had wrinkles along his face, a dark-ish tan from all his years as a ninja himself in his younger days, and wore a long white robe and matching hat with a partial veil going down the back. He stood up and said, "You know that normally I trust your judgment, when it comes to matters such as these, but I think he needs to learn responsibility! He was so reckless when he was a lad, he almost got his entire team killed on more than one occasion!"

The brunet with the scar across his nose he was speaking to stood up from his sitting position in front of the old man and yelled, "And what makes you think he won't get these children killed? It's like you said, he's irresponsible! He's a hazard, and he-"

"And he what?" The older man cut him off. "And he's a very good ninja. He's very good at what he does. He wants to be an ANBU, you know. And to be an ANBU, he has to cooperate with another ANBU. If he's reckless and irresponsible with this team, then he can't be an ANBU." The brunet thought about it for a while before signing and nodding his assent. "If you're really so uncomfortable," the older man continued, "I can assign another jonin to the team, just to make sure none of the children won't be killed."

The brunet, Iruka, thought a while longer before he shook his head and said "No, no. If there's another jonin on the team, he won't learn to be cooperative. I agree. He needs this, but I don't want to see any of the children get hurt."

The older man chuckled. Then he spoke, "I understand your concerns, but he might surprise you."

A knock rang through the quiet room before someone spoke from the other side. "Hokage-sama, Alyan is here."

"Alright, send him in. And don't worry so much, Iruka." The Hokage said before the door opened and in stepped a tall man with shoulder length pure white hair and green, green eyes.
