Ashten strolled down the streets of Konohagakure, ignoring the stares he received from men and women alike.
Ashten Sukimori was Hokage, his power exceeding those of the village; however, no one knew that he was the true Hokage. In order to keep him safe, the ninja association provided a decoy Hokage while the real one pretended to be just a regular villager. The only ones who knew of the truth were those who were ninja, including the student academy.
"Hi Ashten!" someone said, making the man turn.
He laughed when he saw Naruto running to him, Sasuke by his side.
"Hello Naruto, Sasuke how are you?"
"We're fine! But you are needed at the academy, the students have learned enough to be able to meet you in person today"
"Sure"
Ashten strolled with the two chuunin to the ninja school academy, where chakra wielding kids were taught to harness their power and use it to help protect the village.
The real Hokage strolled into the huge red doors and into the big gathering room where all the kids were sitting.
Ashten adorned the black Hokage kimono he chose and walked onto the stage. There were gasps throughout the room, and Ashten chuckled.
"Didn't think I would look like this?"
No. They didn't. Ashten had long, thick, silky, golden hair, slit, sexy, sparkly, startling sapphire eyes, a tone, average height, deeply tanned form, and soft, full, pink lips. His tresses were in a high ponytail with a few strands hanging around his head to shape his face.
He laughed when the kids shook their heads.
"Yep! Your Hokage is strong and gorgeous! I personally think it's a miracle, finally after all these eyesores…"
Laughter erupted through the room and Ashten smiled, he loved making people laugh.
"Anyway, just like you all, I was once here as a student myself, learning the ways of a ninja just like you all… And I'll tell you what, those lessons helped me… Even though I was not the best student… Right Sensei?"
Iruka looked to Ashten and laughed, nodding. "No you were not, I couldn't believe when I heard you became Hokage, but I was proud nonetheless… I remember when we were training and you were playing around with a weapon. I told you to stop and in a fit you threw your leg up and kicked yourself in the head… Dumbass"
Ashten laughed, as did all the students. He remembered that too, and the only thought he could of at that very moment was in fact, dumbass. As the Hokage was thinking, he remembered Itachi Uchiha, his teammate. Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about how he betrayed the clan, and what happened right before he left. Ashten involuntarily touched his lips, and then snapped his head back up to see the students staring at him.
"Heh, sorry you guys! I zoned out, anyway-
there was an explosion, and Ashten looked up to see that the roof had been blown open.
Men dressed in huge black jackets with red clouds jumped down from the hole. These strange men were a pack of rouge ninja called the Akatsuki.
"GET THE STUDENTS OUT OF HERE!" Ashten yelled, dust going everywhere.
The teachers began evacuating students, and the Hokage found himself surrounded.
A shark-looking man smirked, looking his opponent up and down.
"We've been searching all over for you Hokage… Your little decoy did trick us, but we made sure she would never do such a thing again"
Ashten's eyes widened, Tsunade…
He removed the kimono and fudoshi, leaving him in only pants and a sword. Ashten unsheathed his sword, his eyes bleeding a fiery red.
The Hokage raced forward, his sword swirling around with white chakra. He swung, and a torrent of heavenly fire shot towards the invading men. Suddenly, a blast of black chakra came forward and clashed with the white. Ashten gasped when the two blasts cancelled out. The only person who could do that was…
He stepped forward. The man was also wearing a huge black jacket with red clouds. He had thick raven hair that was past his shoulders, both of his eyes were using the Sharingan jutsu, he was tall and handsome, the pride of the once favored Uchiha clan.
"Itachi…"
The sword in Ashten's hand fell to the ground, and he clutched his newly bleeding heart.
The other men took their opportunity and grabbed Ashten's arms, a big mistake. The Hokage growled and his skin became red hot, causing the two to snatch their hands away. Ashten then proceeded to beat them both to a pulp with his fists.
Itachi raced forward and ripped Ashten off, pinning him to his body and the weaker man gasped.
Tears ran down Ashten's face as his sight blurred and he became immobile. He felt strong arms lift him, and he held back a sob. "I hate you…" he told Itachi angrily as they ran off with their captive…
