However, today is a sad day for the village, for today is the anniversary for the recently deceased "Third Hokage".
?: It's been about a year now, right Naruto?
Naruto: Huh? Oh...yeah.
?: Naruto? Are you OK?
Naruto: Huh? Oh...yeah.
?: Naruto? What's wrong?
Naruto: It's just...not fair.
?: That he...had to die?
Naruto: Yeah, I mean...he was like a father to everyone in the village. Everyone looked up to him like a father anyway. You know what I mean Sakura?
Sakura: Yeah, I know what you mean.
Just then, a ninja approached Naruto and Sakura.
?: Hey guys!
Naruto: Huh? Bushy Brow!
Sakura: Hi Lee.
Lee: Hey guys, the hokage wanted to see you two for something.
Naruto: The old lady? What does she what?
Lee: I don't know, she just told me to tell you that she needed to see you two in privet. Anyway, I have to go now, see you tonight!
And Lee just...ran off.
Sakura: What do you think the hokage wants with us?
Naruto: I don't know, but let's find out.
And so, Naruto and Sakura went to see the hokage.
