Chapter 4: Visiting the Hokage!
Kenji was strolling through the village with his head band tied around his head. He passed fellow graduates and gave them waves. He finally made it to the Hokages house. It was large, so large, he thought he would get lost if he didn't ask where the Hokage's room was. He knocked on the door and on the other side he heard, "Enter!" Kenji opened the door slowly, he saw the Hokage looking at the files of some ninja from other villages.
Kenji bowed, "Hokage sir!" he said loudly. The Hokage replied, "Kenji Kazahana, it's a pleasure to meet one of the top graduates of the Ninja Academy." Kenji stood up straight, "Oh sir, the pleasure is all mine!" Kenji said. The Hokage then asked, "Why are you here young Kenji?" Kenji replied, "Well I've been having these dreams of strange symbols and eyes, I thought that you would know more about them, you are the Hokage after all." The Hokage sighed and told Kenji to draw them. T-that's the…. Kenji could tell by the look on the Hokage's face that it wasn't good, "I'm sorry Kenji but I can't help you, you should head to the Academy for the team assignments." He said to Kenji.
Kenji left the building with a dissappointed look on his face. Surely the Hokage knew. Kenji approached the Academy door, entered Room 204 and sat in his chair. Kenji waited for Aizen to walk in and assign them their squads. "Squad 7! Kenji Kazahana! Mira Nakurame! And Raito Abari!" He shouted to them. Not Raito!!!! Kenji thought Not Kenji!!!! Raito though. Oh wow! Two of the strongest in the whole Academy! They're both so cuuuute to! Thought Mira. The three of them waited for their new teacher to get there. Silence fell over them until, "Hi I'm Mira!" She said, extending her hand out to Kenji, "Kenji Kazahana! Future Hokage, nice to meet you Mira." Kenji said shaking her hand. She did the same to Raito, Raito replied with something along the lines of, "Yeah whatever." There was a knock on the door and their Sensei walked in. He wasn't very tall, only about a foot taller than Kenji, and he had his Headband on the side of his head, so that the protector part faced outward. This guy…Looks like a jerk. Kenji thought with a disappointed look on his face. There was one thing that caught Kenji's eye, however, the tattoo that was on the palm of his hand. It looked exactly like the one Kenji drew for the Hokage. That eye….It's…Kenji thought. "Today, I become your new instructor. I won't go easy on you and you certainly won't like me. But I need to see if you're worthy of becoming my students. We will have a test. Be on the training field at Sunrise tomorrow." The instructor said, and with that, he disappeared into a cloud of smoke.
Kenji walked home, kicking a pebble and staring at the ground. His black hair made him almost hidden in the darkness. Tomorrow you will show me a test of your skills….Kenji remembered. I don't even know the guy's name! And that symbol on his hand….He just bugs me. Kenji arrived at home, but by time he got there, his father was off on a mission and his mother was asleep. Kenji crawled into bed, hoping to catch a glimpse of the eyes once again.
