"Have you heard?"the silver-haired girl asked. A boy with googles sitting atop his spiky red hair shook his head, looking throughout the city.
"The hokage is coming back today." she said. The red-haired boy raised his eyebrows.
"Is that why our sensei left us so early, Uraji?" he asked.
"Yeah, the Hokage is having a party, and the higher ranked shinobi are throwing it," said another boy, this one with short blonde hair. "I heard it would be a surprise, but can you really surprise the Hokage?"
"Not sure Tadashii," the red-haired boy laughed.
"So, what exactly do we do though?" asked Uraji. "I really planned on training for the rest of the day."
"Me too," Tadashii said, stretching out. "Hey Inazuma, you know of anything we can do?"
He scratched the back of his head, then turned back to Tadashii.
"Tadashii, your family is in foreign relations, right?" he asked. "Have you ever met anyone in the other villages?"
"That could possibly be in the exams?" Tadashii said. Inazuma nodded, and Uraji became more interested.
"It's been about six months since I've last gone. Actually, you guys should come with me to my house. I have a record of it to be honest." he said. The trio left their spot in Konoha and made their way to the Kyajun household. As they walked through the city, both Uraji and Inazuma were greeted and congratulated by the citizens. Tadashii really didn't know how to feel about it. On one hand, he was being completely overlooked. But, on the other, he was a part of the best team Konoha had to offer. the only reason he could think of being on this team was the reason he was taking them to his house - to prepare them for the shinobi that would travel to Konoha for the chuunin exam.
He didn't mind it. He just wanted a chance to show the skills he'd aquired besides foreign relations.
He hoped that his chance would come.
