Chapter 3- Sandaime

Knock Knock. The sudden sound made the old man lose his train of thought in the room.

"Come in." The man rumbled. He was slightly irritated, this was the only time to his self, but when he saw who entered he quickly forgot those feelings.

"Hello, Sachie-san. How nice to see you." The man said to the frustrated looking woman in front of him.

"Thank you Hokage but..." She seemed to be lost in irritation.

"Is it Naruto?" the 3rd said sympathetically, indicating she should sit down.

"Hai! He is getting on my nerves!" she cried aloud, not holding back. "Now that Iruka-Sensei has begun teaching no one is there to tell Naruto what to do! I am an old woman now hokage I can't babysit delinquents! Isn't he old enough now to live on his own? He is 9 for heaven sakes! Can't you just give him an allowance or something?"

The woman was really frustrated now. If this went on...who knows what she would do. He'd have to agree. Besides, he couldn't go against the village healer. But still he was only 9... He knew he would consent to Sachie's wishes.

"Yes Sachie. It will work out. I'll start on it immediately." he said indicating the ending of this conversation.

Sachie stood up, looking relaxed. "Arigato, hokage. Thank you." She left the room.

The 3rd hokage was lost in thought. This wasn't something he wanted to do. But...

"Gomen, 4th. This is something I have to do." he whisperedSullenly he started writing letters first to the local apartment complex then one to the bank setting up a new account. Lastly he wrote to the boy.

Finally, with the letters sent, he looked out the window. Straight into the walls of Hokage. "Gomen" he repeated. He would break this promise. After all, he was the hokage and he had promised. No matter what, he would be there to help Uzamaki Naruto grow.
