"When?" Mika asked, unable to believe what he was seeing. "Why?"
The Hokage sighed. "The day before you left Wave this was sent to me. As for why, all medics are on the world's shit list. You all save so many lives, prevent missions from failing, enemy ninja from dying. You are good enough that people took notice. Congratulations, you are now in the Bingo book. Now please, onto your reports." It took about forty minutes to give a full report, but by it's end, the Hokage nodded. " I am glad this went as well as it did... Mika, your mission was to protect the team, but Kakashi changed your orders to what he felt suited you and he was right. You did amazingly well, too well really... I am proud of you, really, you have done the world a great service. I will have you paid for three A ranks, for all of your work."
Kakashi stepped forward. "I have an idea, to protect him until he is strong enough to handle his status in the Bingo book. Yugao."
The Hokage perked a brow. "Explain?"
"Mika could easily pass for special Jonin, but he is mostly medically trained. Having her train him a few time a week, it would be perfect. She would give him real tops, rounding him out and allowing him reach his full capacity."
"I will arrange that." The man turned to Mika. "Since you are not fully helping Hinata anymore, this will be the perfect chance to fully acclimate yourself to a higher level. She is changing her career path, so this would be a good way to have her adapt to more typical jonin life. I am sure you would make a good student for her."
Mika bowed. "I would be honored, Lord Hokage."
The man looked to the window on his left. "Yugao, what do you say?"
The woman in question, a member of ANBU it seemed, leapt in. She had long purple hair and a strong presence, like she held no doubts. The Katana on her back lifted him spirits, he really had reached a rut as a kenjutsu user without a sparring buddy. "I have heard many good things about the boy. I would happily be his mentor." She turned to Mika, taking off her mask. "I cannot wait to see what you can do, dear boy. Now... if we have leave..." She turned to the Hokage who nodded. "We will go to wherever you train typically, Mika. I will need to asses your overall powers. Prepare to sweat."
The Hokage spoke once more. "Consider your leave starting today. Now, go, and remember, you always have a home in ANBU."

The moment they entered his training ground, Mika barely managed to block Yugao's sudden slice. His arms buckled under her strength, all of his training had not given him the power to compete with a trained member of ANBU. Still, he pushed her back just enough to gather water onto his blade and throw it onto her face, slipping under her guard and slicing up.
She caught his wrist and threw him aside like trash.
They met again as he rose, slash after slash, his blade buckling until it eventually shattered under power. Her knee slammed into his chest sending him back once more, preventing him from mourning his blade. He did not waste any time, quickly moving through his handsigns, throwing a hell's viewing genjutsu at her. She shattered almost instantly, giving him onto a second to toss half a dozen senbon at her body, perfectly aimed.
She vanished, appearing to slash at his side, actually cutting through his closed and cutting through his side with paper cut level, surgerical precision.
This went on for over an hour, until he was cut, bruises and beaten into a slump. Then, as he kneeled, admitting defeat, he felt soothing green energy surging through him. Looking up through swollen eyes, he saw her looking at him with a smile.
"Sorry for that ass beating, but I really needed to see how good you were. You've never really had a lot of combat experience. You're good, great even but to be amazing you need more help. Really you need a sparring partner, someone to give you experience and to tie your skills together. The pieces need to be put together, so to speak."
"I noticed that..."
"Kakashi is right, you are easily a special jonin with medical skills and kenjutsu, but a few months of actual sparring and you'll be amazing." She kneeled. " Kid, I am going to make a real proposal... how do you feel about entering ANBU? You have everything needed to become one of us, even if only part time. Say the word and I will get you looked at. Hell, I am pretty sure I'll do it regardless."
Mika bowed his head. "I would be honored... but only part time. My goal is to be a second generation ANBU... so... yeah. I need to be known, but ANBU would be a great tool to help me grow in the direction."
"So be it... now, get up. I have some corrections to your stances and Katas, little things that will help you excel. That is how we will grow, see me every day after your hospital shift and after three on the days between. I'll kick your ass and you'll correct yourself. Nothing like combat experience to help you grow. You can even use that method to help that Hinata Girl grow."
"Sounds great..." Mika managed, barely, to stand up. "Now, shall we get started?"
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a real joy to write, so much fun to finally pull things together into something excellent...
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
