The Leaf hidden village

Risu P.o.V

“Hey, Kid… Wake up… Wake up!!!” I felt a gentle poke on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw entirely different scenery than the usual one I see. The nature landscape was almost the same but not with the building. In my village most of the building was mend with the nature, but here they made their own building with brick and wood.

Kakashi showed me around the village. I couldn’t find Grandpa anywhere. Maybe he had come back to his office. Being a hokage must mean being a busy body.

“Wow…” I couldn’t hide my feeling of awesomeness to the village architecture especially the big red building with the fire symbol, I assumed it was the hokage office, and also the sculpture of some people face on the cliff.

“Who is that?” I asked pointing at the face on the cliff.

“That’s the Hokages…” He pointed the most left one. “ That’s the first who founded the village, the one beside him was the second Hokage.”

“That’s Grandpa’s face? The 3rd Hokage?”

He was surprised by my fast understanding. “Yes.. And beside him was the best Hokage, the fourth Hokage…”

“If there is the fourth Hokage, why is Grandpa the one in charge?” I asked another question.

His eyes shifted to my eyes. “He died… A heroic one…” Kakashi said softly. I gently rubbed his shoulder that make me get a really surprised expression from Kakashi.

“Eh… Thanks?” he said uncomfortably.

I smiled. The first one since the tragedy that befallen my family and clan. “You’re welcome, Kakashi-san…”

Kakashi P.o.V

This Amaterasu girl was a really strange one or maybe I was the one that didn’t used to kid. She rubbed my shoulder trying to cheer me up, something that I would never think a kid would capable to do. And she did it. It surprised me.

“Eh… Thanks?” I said still confused with this maroon haired girl.

And she smiled. A very sweet one. I couldn’t help but feel warm inside, a feeling I have never felt since they gone.

“You’re welcome, Kakashi-san…”

I tried not to look her in her eyes. I think, if I looked there, her jade green eyes would be able to see trough me and I really didn’t want that to happen.

“Let’s go to Hokage office, Kid…” I walked but realized that she didn’t follow my lead.

“Hey, Kid… Come on…”

“I have a name… It’s Risu not ‘Kid’ ” she pouted.

I gave her my closed eye smile. “Then, Risu… Let’s go to Hokage office…”

“Sure…”she held my hand and dragged me along the way.

“Such a strange kid…” I thought.

“C’mon… Kakashi!!” she waved her hand. I face palmed, because of her now we had become sort of attention on the business street.

“Kakashi, your daughter?” one salesman asked.

“Such an energetic one… I envy you…” the other said.

“Who is the mother?” and so on. It became a big commotion in no time. I had to clear things up. I dragged her and put her on my shoulder.

“Guys… Listen, she isn’t my daughter…” I proclaimed loudly.

I could hear an obvious disappointment sound.

“Why should they be disappointed?” I thought.

“Maybe because if I were your daughter, it will make things more fun?”Risu said. I didn’t realize that I had said my thought out loud.

I sighed heavily. “Come on, Risu…”

“Uhn…”she nodded and dragged me again.

Risu P.o.V

Kakashi ,or maybe me because most of the way I just dragged him, lead the way to the Hokage office which is the big red building that instantly became my favorite building in this village. The inside was just as amazing as the outside. It was so circular that looked like the Big Tree back in my village.

“My former and lost village…” I corrected my thought.

“Are you ‘Kay, Risu?” Kakashi seemed to be able to felt my sadness that started to pile up.

“Nothing…” I smiled. A bitter one maybe, and I bet he could sense it too.

“Come in…” I heard grandpa’s voice from inside a room with this big and green door.

“Come on, Kakashi-san…” again I dragged him. Strangely, now he didn’t resist like when I dragged him on the street.

Kakashi P.o.V

She smiled again, but now it is obviously a fake one. A smile that you give to people when you don’t want them to be worried . But sometimes it was giving an exact opposite effect.

“Come on, Kakashi-san…” her little hands wrapped my hand and dragged me inside the Hokage office. I didn’t resist, more accurately I was too absorbed into my own thought that I wouldn’t bother to resist.

“I didn’t see any sign that she wanted any revenge… She looked to calm for a 10 years old girl that has lost all of her family in one night. She isn’t scared at all. Okay, I know nothing feels like a threat here in Konoha, but at least I expect her to be a little scared and cautious. Instead she is too carefree. And the last and strangest things that happen.

Why do I care?”

Risu P.o.V

“Hi, Grandpa…” I smiled brightly. I run approaching him, almost hugging him when suddenly I big man stood in my way. I quickly stepped away, stumble in my action.

“Hey…” I protested while rubbing my knee, secretly I used my jutsu.

“Shut your mouth, Kiddo… Who do you think you are to call Hokage-sama as Grandpa even go as far as approaching him…” he lectured me. I ignored him making him even madder.

“You…”

“Enough, Ibiki…”grandpa said calmly

“But, Hokage-sama, she was insulting you…”Ibiki tried to defend himself.

“It’s alright. I’m the one that let her call me like that.”

I smiled to grandpa and gave him the kakashi-closed-eye-smile-with-pull-out-tongue. He twitched and readied to beat me into pulp. Luckily, grandpa stopped him before doing any of that.

“Ibiki, this is Amaterasu Risu. Risu, this is Ibiki.” He introduced us as short as he could.

“Amaterasu?!” he got a little shocked hearing my family name. But he still gave me that annoying glared. For your information, I also gave him my most annoying glare.

“Hmph, Brat…” he looked away from me and bowed deeply to grandpa. “Excuse me, Hokage-sama…” he said before went out of grandpa’s office.

“Hokage-sama…”Kakashi greeted grandpa. I think, he had finished thinking whatever he was thinking about.

Grandpa smiled as a reply. Then he handed him some paper before excusing himself. I corrected myself. Almost excusing himself.

So, when he wanted to bow, grandpa stopped him.

“Before that, Kakashi, I have a new mission for you but don’t think this as a mission. Just think of this as a favor from an old man.” He started. Kakashi looked dumb-founded with the Hokage’s sudden strange behavior. He just nodded his head.

“Good. Please take care of Risu. Be her guardian, she need a guardian to live in Konoha, at least until she was 17 years old.” Grandpa said with a warm smile. My eyes went wide. Sure I could be calm around grandpa, but Kakashi? I couldn’t be sure if he was nice or not, but judging from his behavior that I had seen, he was a little bi-polar. And I didn’t like his book, although I hadn’t seen its content, I had a feeling it was a no-good-book-for-a-good-children.

I opened my mouth to protest, but Kakashi said his protest first.

“But, Hokage-sama, you should have known that I wasn’t good around children… They can be annoying” he said. I pouted hearing his argument. Sure I was a kid, but no one had ever consider me as the trouble-maker type kids.

“Hey… Who do you think you are to judge me before even knowing me??” I grumbled. He didn’t answer me, I think he ignored me now.

“Hey, Strange Silver Hair-san… I’m talking to you NOW!!!”

Now, he looked pissed, but he still ignored me.

“Brat…” he hissed softly.

“Sissy…” I replied to him.

Now, he stopped ignoring me. “YOU…”

“ENOUGH YOU TWO!!!” Grandpa’s voice got a little louder. I got surprised. I would never think that he could be angry, especially because his calm behavior he had showed me before.

“Hokage-sama I refused to be her guardian…” he said with a monotone.

“Me too… I prefer living on a tree or street to living with this bi-polar-san…” I glared at Kakashi, he also glared at me.

“No complain anymore… Now it is an order from the Hokage…” grandpa said. I could feel power in his word.

“Grandpa…” “Hokage-sama…” We said almost together. I glared at him once again.

“Now… Now… It is too late for a further commotion, so please Risu obey me this time, okay…” grandpa said. He made it sound like a plead, but I knew there was no option for me neither for Kakashi.

I nodded reluctantly. Kakashi said yes just as reluctantly as my nodded.

“Good…Good… Kakashi, come to my office again tomorrow morning…”grandpa said before turning all of his attention to the pile of paper on his desk. Kakashi bowed slightly before dragging me outside.

“Great… I am stuck with this bi-polar…” I mumbled.

“Hm??!?” he narrowed his one eye observing me.

I shook my head. “Nothing…Just lead the way already, it is almost dusk…”

Fortunately he let it go.
