Part 1 Epilogue – Choosing a Village
Shivaroku flew on Nimbus until he reached the Great Library. At the entrance he saw five figures standing there. They were all dressed pretty similarly, with robes and a hat that spelled "Kage" on it. The only difference was the color of their hat and robes. Each one had a symbol on the front of their robes, distinguishing the great nations: Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Water.
The Hokage was a blonde woman with big breasts. The Kazekage was an ordinary looking man, but he was also holding a giant gourd on his back. The Suchikage was a small old man, who frankly looked like he was too old to stand up on his own. The Raikage towered above everyone else, with a glare and a grimace and his big muscles, not to mention large stone blocks around his wrists and ankles. Lastly, the Mizukage was another beautiful woman, who had long red hair and a couple water pouches on her waist.
Shivaroku handed the scroll to them, and they confirmed that he was the kid they were waiting for. The Raikage was the first to speak, saying that Shivaroku should join his village because he was the strongest of the Kages. The Tsuchikage stepped in with a scoff, saying that muscles don't count as power. The Tsuchikage also said that he had the most experience as a Kage, since he was the oldest. The Mizukage interjected, insulting the Suchikage's age and how close he was to death. The Kazekage and Hokage stayed silent and watched Shivaroku. After a few minutes of useless bickering between the Raikage, Tsuchikage, and Mizukage, the Hokage spoke, saying "You will make one of the most important decisions in your life. Do your research, and choose wisely. Once you make your choice, none of the other Kage are allowed to do anything about it." The Kazekage continued to stay silent as he nodded to what the Hokage said. This made the three remaining Kage go quiet, as they realized they have made some bad impressions. They then invited Shivaroku inside the library, offering all the records and history of all the villages.
After about a couple days, Shivaroku already decided to not choose to join the Hidden Cloud or the Hidden Stone villages, mostly because of the way they both acted, which disappointed the Raikage and Tsuchikage, but they couldn't do anything about it. After a few more days, Shivaroku also rejected the the Mizukage, mostly because of her village's history. While she was not responsible for the horrors that took place in the Hidden Mist village, the roots of the Blood Mist were still strong in that village, and it bred shinobi with no honor and no understanding of peace. The last two, the Hidden Sand and Hidden Leaf showed much promise. Both of them were powerful. Both of them were honorable. But both of them also participated in 2 out of 3 Great Wars.
It took some time, about three weeks to be exact, but Shivaroku decided to go with the Hidden Leaf village. That village by far has had the most honorable shinobi. They seemed to be purer of heart than others, especially the previous Hokages. They aspired for peace more than any of the other Kages. In the end, the goal was simple: to create a world of peace and love. Once Shivaroku informed the Kage of his decision, the Hokage sent for him to come to the Hidden Leaf village, where he would become a Leaf Shinobi.
