"STORM-SENSEI!"

"Hmm?" I hummed sleepily.

"THE HOKAGE IS HERE TO SEE YOU."

"What?!" I said attempting jumping up but falling on the floor, tangled in the bright white, hotel sheets.

"Hehe. Calm down. We just said that to wake you up." Ningyo said giggling with her hand over her mouth. She was sitting on Miku's neatly made bed. Amaterasu and Miku sat next to her. She must've fixed it because I know Miku wouldn't.

I rolled my eyes trudged to the bathroom without another word to my team.

I did my usual morning routine. Throwing on my clothes, brushing my hair and teeth, a little eye makeup, and strapping my weapon pouch on my leg.

"Hey kiddos? I'm going out. Behave." I said looking specially at Miku before stepping out.

The crisp air felt amazing this morning. It was so clean and fresh. A small, laid back smile spread across my face.

This village really is gorgeous.

I yawned and continued down the street. It wasn't too crowded seeing as it was around 6:30am but you could still see the early birds walking around.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" I heard next to me.

"Yeah. It really is." I said with a smile as I turned and looked at Kakashi.

"Are you nervous?" Kakashi asked as we both walked side by side down the street.

"Of course. I know they can handle it though. They just need to stick together." I said immediately knowing he was talking about the chunin exams.

"Same for my team. They don't work well with each other." He said shoving his hands in his pockets.

I chuckled and ran a hand throw my hair.

"I'm sure they'll be fine. They seem like they'd help each other in need even if they act like they aren't fond of each other." I said.

He nodded and looked over at me.

"So where are you headed?" He asked staring at me.

"Just to see the hokage." I said shrugging.

He nodded. "I've got to check on my team. Later."

I gave him slight wave and continued on my way.

I walked inside the hokage building and headed toward the hokage's office. I passed by a group of chunin excitedly whispering about some new mission they got. I covered my grin. I still remember getting that excited over cool missions.

Once standing in front of his door, I knocked gently.

"Come in." A slightly raspy voice replied.

I stepped in and quietly closed the door behind me before turning to face the hokage.

He was exactly as I remembered him. Kind, wrinkled face with gentle eyes and wearing the long red-and-white hokage robes. He looked up at me and studied my face closely. I doubt he recognizes me.

"I have some information that may interest you Lord Hokage." I said glancing at the two ANBU standing next to him.

"Very well. If I'm correct, your from the shadow. One of our greatest allies." He said still studying me.

"It's not something that can be told in front of anyone." I said looking particularly at the ANBU.

"You can't honestly expect us to leave our hokage with some ninja from a mysterious village." One of the ANBU said glaring at me with pure hate.

"Nonsense, Alexis. She is an ally of the village. Go back to your mission." He said to the ANBU.

She didn't look to happy but she left the room, followed by her partner.

"Now what is so important that you must tell me alone." He said folding his hands and looking directly into my eyes.

"I believe I have some very...interesting infromation."
