As the moonlight filtered through the windows of the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi sat on his chair, his wise eyes fixed on the figure standing before him.

It was Kitsune, clad in his Anbu outfit and wearing a fox mask that concealed his true identity.

The young Anbu Commander listened intently as Hiruzen briefed him on his new mission - to protect Sasuke Uchiha.

Initially taken aback by the unexpected assignment, the young anbu scoffs in disbelief, his playful demeanor momentarily faltering.

"Me? A bodyguard for an Uchiha? You must be kidding," Fox retorts, his voice tinged with a hint of skepticism that belied his inner turmoil.

"This is serious." Hiruzen's tone was firm, his words carrying the weight of authority and concern.

A wry smile danced on Kitsune's lips, a mask for the swirling emotions within.

" Well, if you throw in extra ramen, I might consider it. Just kidding, Jiji. I'll do it. But only because it's you asking. "Kitsune replied, his words a blend of jest and earnest commitment.

"Thank you. Remember, this mission is of utmost importance. Stay vigilant, and keep Sasuke safe." Hiruzen's voice held a note of finality, a silent plea for diligence.

With a nod of determination, Kitsune met Hiruzen's gaze.

" Don't worry, Hokage-sama. That Uchiha might be a pain, but I'll make sure nothing happens to him. " his promise hung in the air, a silent oath to protect, no matter the cost.
