Chapter 8:Mizuki is going to the Hokage.

Going to the Hogake's office was tough for Mizuki. It used to be her father's office. She couldn't remember having been there when she was little, but the idea of her father sitting in that office made her a little sad.

She knocked and immediately heard someone from inside say: "Come in."

After opening the door, Mizuki found a middle-aged woman with light blonde hair sitting behind the big desk, and a younger woman with dark, short hair and a little pig in her arms standing next to the desk.

"E-excuse me," Mizuki stuttered while entering the room. She was about to face the Godaime Hokage: her father's successor.

"And who might you be?" Tsunade asked.

"I'm… I'm… Michiko," Mizuki stuttered. She had a shy little blush on her cheeks. She bowed and said: "Pleased to meet you, Hokage-sama."

"Michiko?" Tsunade asked. So that was Mizuki. Tsunade wondered why she gave her a false name. "Where are you from… Michiko?" she asked.

"I… err…" Mizuki stuttered. "I'm not exactly from anywhere. I've travelled all my life so far."

"But you must have started somewhere," Tsunade said stubbornly.

"Yes, but I… can't remember," Mizuki lied.

"I see," Tsunade said. She was silent for a few seconds and observed her. She did have some resemblance of Minato and Kushina.

"So, why are you here?" she asked.

"I just wondered if I could find a place to live here," Mizuki answered.

"You want to live here?" Tsunade repeated. "After years of travelling? And why Konoha?"

"I… I…" Mizuki stuttered again, but Tsunade stood up.

"Listen," she said calmly, "I can't help you if you lie to me."

"What do you—"

"If you can't even tell me your real name, how do you suppose I can help you settle in here… Uzumaki Mizuki?" Tsunade added.

Mizuki took a step back. "How… how did you know?" she asked, feeling guilty about lying.

"Kakashi told me everything," Tsunade answered. "What I don't get is why you're lying."

"I'm sorry," Mizuki said. "I changed my name a long time ago. I came back to see my parents again, but…" She couldn't go on, or she'd cry again.

Tsunade seemed to understand. "Very well then," she said. "I'll have someone to arrange an apartment for you. You'll have one by tonight."

"Thank you," Mizuki said.

Meanwhile, Kakashi went to search for Naruto. He had to set things right before he and Mizuki could meet.

As he expected, he found him in the field near the village, training with Yamato to perfect his Rasen Shuuriken technique.

He went to stand next to Yamato, who was watching over Naruto so that the Kyuubi cloak wouldn't come out again.

"Kakashi-senpai," Yamato said. He stood up. "Naruto! Let's take a break!"

"Ahh, but I can go on!" Naruto said. Just then he saw Kakashi. He sighed and walked towards them.

"Kakashi-sensei," he said. "What's up?"

"Naruto," Kakashi said. "I need to ask you something."

"What?" Naruto asked impatiently.

"Could you come over to my place around 8 o'clock?" Kakashi asked.

"Your place? What for?" Naruto asked. But before Kakashi could even answer, Naruto already had a sick idea. He remembered Kakashi saying "I think I'm starting to like you" the other day. He quickly took a few steps back. "You don't mean…"

"What?" Kakashi asked confused. "Ah, never mind. I need to tell you something very important."

"About what?" Naruto asked suspiciously. "If it's that important, why don't you just tell me right now?"

"Because now is not the right time," Kakashi answered, making Yamato feel uncomfortable.

"Not because of you," Kakashi said to Yamato. "Ah," Yamato said with an insecure smile.

"It's about your parents, Naruto," Kakashi said.

Naruto wasn't expecting that. He kept quiet.

"There's something you need to know about them," Kakashi said. With that, he disappeared again. Yamato looked at Naruto, who seemed to be lost in thoughts.

What could Kakashi want to tell him about his parents? And why now?

"Well, let's call it a day," Yamato said. "You've trained enough for one day."

Naruto didn't move. Yamato decided to leave him alone with his thoughts for now.

...

What's Kakashi up to? How is he going to tell Naruto?
