Training
In a hospital corridor two men stand facing one an another. One was a tall middle aged man with silver coloured gravity defining hair that stood about 5'11 and a mask that covered only half his face with his hiate covering his right eye. While the other was a woman who was draped in the standard ANBU uniform with a pure white ANBU mask and a pure white cape with a gold clasp signifying that she was THE ANBU commander.
"Gh..Ghost- SAN! What are you are doing here?" asked a very scared Kakashi
"Well Kakashi I was here to escort Uzumaki to the Hokage." replied the ANBU commander in an emotionless voice that all ANBU where famed for.
"What would the Hokage want with HIM?" Asked the annoyed Kakashi.
"I don't believe that's any of our concern now if you excuse me, Uzumaki and I must be off. Oh! and before I forget ANBU Towa, Please take Hatake to the holding cells and book an appointment with the doctor." commanded Ghost.
"Hai" Towa responded before dragging away a spluttering Kakashi.
"Well Uzumaki lets not keep the Hokage waiting any longer, shall we?" asked the the Commander
"Let's go sir!" Naruto responded with his typical fox like smile.
Later across town
Three men stood in a red building with the kanji for fire.
"Thank you Ghost, your dismissed." Thanked an older gentleman garbed in Konoha's finest robes of red and white and a hat with the kanji for fire shadow emblazoned on it. This man was the current leader of Konoha the Hokage Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"All right Jiji, thanks for the help with Kakashi an all but what did you need me for?" asked an annoyed Naruto.
"well Naruto...to be straight forward it is time to drop the mask. I understand you had it on for protection but it is now hurting you as a ninja and your comrades as well." the Hokage Stated sincerely with kind and sad smile on his old face.
"I am sorry Jiji but I can't do that the pain is too much to bear." Naruto responded sombrely
"Don't do it then but what will you do when Hinata or god forbid Sakura dies on a mission and it was all your fault." asked the leader with a clear disdain in his voice
"That was low Jiji, but you raise a good point, **SIGH** alright ill do it but please do NOT put me in the same sentace as that pink haired monkey howler. Also ill not drop the mask till the exam finals Jiji." Naruto responded that left no room for negotiating.
"All right no problem Naruto, but think of it this way the sooner you become chunin the sooner you can take up your mantle as the lead interrogator only behind Ibiki." said the wise leader with a broad grin
"True but if you will excuse me I need to find a sensie seeing as my is a demon hater as well." Naruto stated depressed
"Go easy on Kakashi not everything appears as they seem. Look underneath the underneath of the issue, rember that well Naruto. but on that note I have some one who is available to help train you. Here just take this letter to an older gentlman with white hair in the host spring section of Konoha." Sarutobi stated
"Thanks Jiji i'll find him right away" stated the now excited blond
