Hello people~ Welcome to the next chapter. I would again like to apologize for the length of the last one. But I needed to post information about my poll so that I can write this chapter. So think of it as like a filler chapter.
A thank you to everybody who reviewed and those who responded to the poll. And the winner of whether or not Kakashi or Rin should participate in the Tournament is Kakashi! Yay! That's what I was hoping for. Either that or neither. Out of the two, he was the best choice since not much is really known about Rin.
I just watched the episode where Minato becomes Hokage and Rin is already dead by that point. Well, good thing this is a story. Kakashi on the other hand joins ANBU and is Minato's right hand man which will be true for this story.
AN: I own nothing. Now on with the story!
Speaking Japanese
Speaking English
Dumbledore smiled when he saw his guests. There was a tall, blonde haired man in the center. He had bright blue eyes and a smile on his face. To the man's left stood a girl with brown hair and who also had a kind smile on her face. On the man's other side stood a boy, about an inch or two shorter than the girl. Dumbledore couldn't tell too much about him except for the fact that his hair was silver and spiked up in a weird way. He was wearing a mask that covered the lower half of his face and the headband thing that all three were wearing was tilted to cover his left eye. It reminded him of soldiers who had lost an eye in war and he felt a pang of sadness for the boy.
The man stepped forward towards Dumbledore. "Hello. My name is Nam- excuse me Minato Namekaze. I almost forgot you people introduce yourselves with your given name first. These are my students. Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nahora." The man introduced, bowing towards Dumbledore. After a moment, Kakashi and Rin did the same.
Minato could hear the students talking behind them, wondering what was going on since he knew he didn't speak loud enough for them to hear. None of the other teachers had introduced themselves or their students, so he figured he didn't have to either at this time. If anybody was curious, they could ask in person.
Dumbledore gave a bow to them in return and stepped forward, the three shinobi turning to face the students at his gesture.
"Please join me in welcoming the Lord Hokage and his students to Hogwarts!" He stated happily, his voice echoing across the room as he started to clap. The rest of the school followed suit. He then turned to Minato. "Your students are free to sit wherever they wish. There is plenty of room with my students. As for you, there is an available seat between Alastor and Minerva." He told them.
Minato smiled in response. "Of course." He told him before turning to his students. 'Go sit down with the students. Try not be rude to any of them. Remember that this is a diplomatic mission.'
'Yes, Sensei!" Rin exclaimed, grabbing Kakashi's arm before he could complain and dragged him off. She briefly looked at the available tables. The other two schools had already chosen where they were sitting, so she would pick a place for them that weren't taken. She knew Kakashi would want to stay close to Minato, so chose the closest on, the red house. People moved over so that they could sit.
Kakashi tried to pull his arm away when Rin started dragging him. He didn't want to be around the students. He wasn't here to make friends. That was more Rin's thing. He was here to do his job and protect Minato. Besides, he really didn't like people. Or crowds. It made him uncomfortable and Rin knew that. But, he couldn't get his arm away so he resigned himself to being trapped with them. The least he could do was sit in a way that he could at least see Minato so that he could react if needed.
Minato took his seat at the table, giving a smile to the people next to him. The smile grew a little when he saw Rin and Kakashi take their seats. He could feel Kakashi's discomfort from here. He'd do something, but the boy really needed to learn to socialize more. And it never hurt to have more friends. Besides, Rin was there to make sure he didn't say anything to rude.
Hermione was practically bouncing in her seat when the Hokage guy was introduced. Even though Dumbledore didn't tell them his name. Or the names of his students. But, said students were coming closer and this was a great opportunity to question them. So, she got the people close to her, Ron, and Harry to move so the two would sit there. And sure enough, that's where they sat.
She examined the two of them. The girl seemed friendly but the boy's appearance was a bit unsettling. That was probably because of his hair and the fact that nearly his entire face was covered save for his right eye. There was also the aura he was releasing that said 'leave me alone.' But, she couldn't do that. She had questions and they had the answers.
"Hi. My name is Hermione Granger. What's yours?" she asked the moment they were seated, directing the question to the girl.
Said girl in question looked a bit startled at the sudden question before giving her a smile.
"My name is Rin. Rin Nahora. And this is Kakashi Hatake." She said, pointing at her companion.
After a look from Hermione, Ron and Harry introduced themselves as well, expecting the usual response from Harry's name. When none came, all three of them were a bit surprised and they instantly decided they liked these guys.
Moody looked at the man who sat next to him. It was hard to believe that someone so young was the leader of an entire village. But, then he remembered what Dumbledore had said about these shinobi. Sure, the information given wasn't a lot but from what he understood, they were very powerful and did jobs for money. If that was the case, then he should be able to bring them to his lord's side. The question was, which one should he work on swaying. He knew the leader, this Minato, would be spending a lot of his time here at the ministry, so he wasn't the best choice. Even if he would be the most logical. Next option. The girl. She had a goody-goody vibe coming from her, so she wasn't a good choice either. That left the boy. Kakashi was his name if he remembered correctly. He'd be perfect for his plans. Especially since the other night Dumbledore had brought up the shinobi participating in the Tournament if they're leader allowed. It will be the perfect time to get them on his side.
Another chapter done. I hope this makes up for the last one. Next chapter the shinobi will be questioned. Minato by McGonagall and Moody and Rin and Kakashi by Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Also, details about the Tournament/the Goblet of Fire will be brought to light.
If there are any questions you would like the shinobi to be asked or for them their selves to ask, then let me know in a review.
Please do review to let me know how I am doing to let me know what you want to happen in the next chapter.
