Chapter 3: Conflict With The Hokage
Naruto sat at his desk shuffling through a stack of papers. Slowly, the door opened, and a female popped her head into the room.
"Hokage, there's someone here to see you. Should I send him in, or are you busy?" the girl questioned.
Without looking up, Naruto mumbled his reply. "Who is it?"
"Kiba."
"Kiba? Send him in."
"Yes sir!" she left.
When Naruto saw Kiba walk in, he placed his papers off to the side. Looking up, he offered Kiba a friendly smile.
"Hey, Naruto," Kiba smiled back.
"What can I do for you? It's not very often I see you here," Naruto laughed.
"Well, I was wondering if it's possible for me to get a mission."
"I only have very low ranked missions. I'm saving those for the new Genin. As for the high ranked missions, I'm only giving those to the Anbu Black Ops. Sorry, Kiba."
"What about Hinata? She had a mission that started last night."
"She's a Medical Ninja. I always try to have a Medical Ninja on all high ranked missions. If I find a mission that is right for you, I will call for you."
"Shit! Naruto, I need a fucking mission!"
Standing up, Naruto slammed his fists on the desk. "You need to hut your mouth, Kiba. I'm Hokage…I give the missions to the Ninja I think are best. Do not yell at me as if I'm still a low ranked Ninja. Understand?"
"Yes…Naruto…"
The door opened again and Shino walked in.
"Oh! Shino, thank you for coming," Naruto turned to a shelf and picked up a small container. "I would like you to bring this to the Aburame clan. Tell the lead researcher to figure out what type of bug it is. When the information is known, I'd like to be the first to know."
"Of course," Shino took the container and put it in his bag. :If I may ask, do you know when Hinata will be back?"
"At any time now. Do you have plans today w ith her?"
"Yes, Kiba and I are going out to lunch with her."
"That reminds me, I have a lunch date myself. I should be going," Naruto pulled off his Hokage's uniform to reveal an orange outfit. "I should get going."
"We should too," Shino turned to Kiba. "Lets wait outside for Hinata."
"Ok," Kiba mumbled.
The three boys walked out of the office. Kiba and Shino stood outside the mansion and watched Naruto towards what looked like the direction of Ichiraku.
After ten minutes, Hinata saw the two boys and greeted them each with a hug.
"I guess we should get going. I'm very hungry," Hinata smiled.
"Do you want to go change first?" Kiba questioned.
"Not at all. The mission was very easy. I'll change when we get back home."
"Lets go then," Shino decided.
The three of them walked off towards a small restaurant. Hopefully the lunch would be peaceful…unlike Kiba's meeting with Naruto.
