After we parted ways; me and Kakshi found our way to the hokage's place. It was us being right outside the door, I felt my stomach knot up. Turning away; Kakshi shrugged, while putting his right hand rest on the back of his head, while walking off, I stammered confusedly, "Wait! Kakshi, where are you going?" He met my gaze, as he responded admirably, "Well, I'd love to sit here and wait on you, but as it is our little encounter made me later with my own squad, oh! Boy aren't they gonna be upset." With that; he was gone in a flash of smoke, leaving me alone behind the thirds door to his chambers. Hesitant to knock; it was before even laying my hand on the door, I heard a welcoming voice command, "Come on in, Kimble"

"He knew my name?" my thoughts screamed; as I swallowed, while trying to keep cool clearing my throat, as I managed to place my hands on the knob. Turning the knob, I found my way inside the cheerful room, blue tiled floors and there an older gentlemen in white robe, and red hat in a upside down bowl shape. Turning to meet my direction; Hiruzen Sarutobi or the Third Hokage. Smoking that same pipe, as he looked to me, while offering a seat at a set small style Japanese textile set table, surrounded by small mats. Taking a seat; I watched as he did the same, across from me as he continued to smoke his tobacco pipe.

I looked at him; he met each others glances, as I had to keep cool. Plus; not totally be honest about my background, or I might alter things. Its was then; Third Hokage spoke, "You've nothing to worry…Kakshi & Kurenai Yuhi explained the events that took place." "Oh!" I stammered his direction, while finding a comfortable position on my knees as he began, "But…if you want me to help you, I'm going to need you to explain how you suddenly showed up in my village, and how'd you come here." I looked away; as Hiruzan Sarutboi spoke, "You can trust me," the kind words were met with a smile, as he inhaled more of the tobacco and I decided to spill the beans…

__________~LineBreaker~__________

And so I told him almost everything…about my hometown, few people and the accident right down to the point of running into Kakshi and Kurenai Yuhi, as well as Kiba. I decided against telling him of the Cosplay convention / anima series about them or any future happenings to partake here, seeing he'd probably be weird out or something. Also seeing, that it might alter things…if I speak out of terms, and don't let the stuff happen, so I sorta stretched my story of the accident as seeing a bright light….

"So! That's how I got here!" He said nothing for the moment; he just listened and didn't ask a question. Only nodding and looking at me, as I uttered softly, "So…will you help me get back home?" The Third looked at me, with understanding eyes, as he commended polieghtly, "Of course…I'll send a special team to look into the matters, or finding a way home for you, I must guess your family must be worried about you." I turned to him asking curiously, "what do I do in the mean time?" The third looked at me, with sad eyes pondering on my words as he spoke, "we've never encountered a problem like this before…you may find this village most welcoming with your stay, till you find your way back to your own home."

It was then; my stomach growled, looking around hoping he didn't hear it, the third looked at me strangely as he asked keenly, "So when was the last time you ate?" pondering on the thought, I remarked oddly, "Um! Since…lunch time yesterday, really." The third looked at me; smiling my direction as he responded to my comment, "Don't worry about…food, or other necessities, I'll give you enough money to last the month, but then you'll have to earn the rest doin missions, as a village ninja." My eyes lit up at that moment, "me a ninja, are you serious!" Taking another whiff of his pipe; the third Hakage, began tonely, "quite, if I say so myself." It was then; he added once more, as I contending to hold my peak of excitement, as he spoke, "Because day after tomorrow morning, I must insist you to partake in the Chunin Exams." My hunger / excitement immediately disappeared, as he said those words, as I negatively began, "Um, about that…how am I going to pass, if I can't perform a single technique or ninjutsu for that matter." Smiling convulsing smile for an old buzzard; taking a whiff of the fumes from the pipe, the third pressed his lips to it, while remarking soundly, "You got one day, to sink in some training for the challenges ahead, I suggest you make haste!"

As I began making my way to the door; the third remarked under his breath, "Take this money with you, it should serve more or less for you…until you can provide for yourself…" Nodding his direction, I gratuitously began his way, "Thank you, Hiruzen Sarutobi." Taking the satchel of coins; he smiled my way, while impling under his breath, "Oh! Kimble lets not mention the background info of where you really come from, we'll say you're a relative of the Inuzuka clan from a remote village taking part in the exams, and staying here for a time being." "Ya!" I replied, as I made my exit out of the Hokage's chambers, as he smiled my directions, waving a hand he began faintly, "See you at the exams…"

Ya! I know this chapter is kinda short, I'm posting the next chapter….
