Yosh!! Chapter Two!
Disclaimer: You read the last one, but I'll do it anyway... I dont own Naruto. All respective Naruto characters belong to Kishimoto and Kishimoto only. Which is good, because if I owned it, there'd be so much yaoi... XD
Chapter Two
Arei made her way up the hundred or so steps of the hokage tower. 'Geez, I know the Hokage is important, but come on!' she thought.
She caught her breath on the landing and walked down the empty corridor. It wasn't long before she came to the double doors that she assumed led to the Hokage's office. She knocked and waited for confirmation. When she heard a muffled "Come in," she opened the doors and stepped inside.
The room had books everywhere. Three of the four walls had bookshelves. There were medical books, history books, shinobi records; just about any book on any topic were on those shelves.
Aside from the others, the remaining wall had three large-paned windows with a space front and center reserved for the Hokage's desk.
The Hokage himself was an old man 60 to 70 years of age, with an assortment of wrinkles near his eyes and mouth. he sta with his old, worn hands in front of him. There was a boy sitting in a chair across from the desk. From behind him Arei made out blonde hair, and a bright orange putfit. Te two seemed to be arguing. She couldn't make out much, something about mission rankings. She dismissed it as something unimportant and waited for them to finish.
"Listen old man, a great ninja like myself needs higher mission ranks! How can I become Hokage when Im only doing D-rank missions?!"
"Naruto, as I've told you time and time again, missions are given according to a ninja's capabilities. Since you are a Genin, you start with D-rank missions. Just as the First, Second, and Fourth Hokages did."
Naruto continued his protests, and the old man sighed in annoyance. It was then that he really noticed the young girl's presence.
He cleared his throat. "Ah, yes. May I help you?"
Naruto became quiet when he realized the old man's attention was on something else. It took him a moment to realize there was someone else in the room.
The girl stepped foward. She was about Naruto's height, with tan skin similar to that of Kiba's, dark raspberry colored hair, and even darker eyes. She wore a light blue sweater that went halfway down her thighs; loose black capris; and a pair of black standard shinobi shoes.
"My name is Inosaki Reishou. i was told to come here for information on visitation?"
"Do you plan on staying temporarily?" the Hokage asked.
"Permanently."
"I assume you came from another village?"
"Yes. The Rain village." She took off her bag and rummaged through it. She then pulled out a stack of papers and a forehead protector, and handed them to the Hokage.
He took the papers and scanned through them. They were her official shinobi records, her village transfer papers, and general information about her old team and mission stats. (AN: I completely BSed that...)
The Hokage smiled. "I see you are a ninja," he set the papers down. "and a genin at that. I'll have to assign you to a team. The older Academy students wont be graduating until later this year, but I suppose I can place you on one of the current teams.
As for living arrangements, there are pleanty of Inns in konoha for you to choose from."
Arei inwardly cringed. 'I dont have money to pay for an Inn!'
"Naruto."
Naruto took his attention off of Arei and looked at the old man.
"I have a mission for you. If you would, please be Miss Inosaki's guide for the rest of the day. Afterall, it is her first day in Konoha, and she will need to know where things are."
"WHAT?!"
The old man took out a blank sheet of paper, wrote some things down, and signed it.
"The mission has been verified and accepted."
Naruto stomped out of the office, muttering under his breath. As Arei turned to leave, the Hokage stopped her. When she looked back, he held up the paper. arei fought back the urge to laugh. The paper was blank; except for a few scribbles and a smiley face in the lower right corner ("signature?"). Naruto poked his head inside.
"Oi! You coming or not?!"
"Ah, yeah."
She left, walking behind naruto, laughing lightly to herself.
