The Hokage's Will

Chapter Three: Earth, Lightning, Wind , Water and Fire

"As long as there are leaves in this village, the will of fire shall never die!"

-Uzumaki Naruto, Rokudaime Hokage

Everyone looked on in awe at the person that stood above them, with the hat of the village Kage held in his right hand. Naruto looked below in the same manner that the elder population of Konoha had seen only once from their former Hokages.

Namikaze Minato.

Shikamaru looked on in surprise himself, in a way; it answered the questions why Naruto had gone missing for the past five days, without as much as the ANBU searching for him and his requests from Kakashi that he search for Naruto being denied by the said man, apparently, Kakashi was in on this too, seeing as he was the proxy Hokage, along with Yamato who had supervised the Kumo Nin at the records department.

"So… He's finally fulfilled his dream… It's… Kind of melancholic, huh, Shika?" Ino mentioned as she thought how it must have been painful to label Sasuke as a missing nin.

"First off, don't call me that, second, yeah. I know what must be going through his head right now; he'll put his feelings as a friend aside in order to keep the village safe."

It was then that Naruto began his speech,

"I'm sorry for taking this long to finally get to speak to you; I bet Kakashi-sensei got too bored at the job just within five days of it." He said that with a grin, some of the ninja scowled at Kakashi at that, they were going around in circles two days ago disguised as a mission! And the item often was some crap that wasn't really that important!

Kakashi merely scratched the back of his head and silently laughed, sure it was a sin to be fooling off when the village was in such a state, but come on! The thought of giving Gai a mission that involved a lot of scavenger hunts and fetch me's was hard to pass up!

Okay so he did pass it up, if only because the village had a giant crater in the middle and the reserve genin and chuunin needed exercise! Honest!

"Anyway, I'm sorry again for being late in announcing my ascension to the position. I had some things to take care of. Can you believe it? Me, a genin, not yet even reaching Jounin or even Chuunin, and already, I took the seat, Ibiki-san must be laughing his ass off right now."

Back in the intelligence department, said man was indeed laughing his ass off at the irony of it all.

'Even if I'm a genin for life, I'll still become Hokage, watch me! I'm not scared of you!'

Ibiki grinned as he watched perched on the rooftop of the ruined building and letting the new Hokage speak.

"Damn right you did, brat. Guess that's a loss on my part." Ibiki mentioned.

"Oh? It was him all along? I can't wait to… entertain him when he's stressed."

Ibiki stared at his partner and coughed something about being a cradle robber. Anko never was someone who could keep her thoughts to herself. Maybe that was why she was in the torture and interrogation department most of the time. As the things that come out of her mouth often scare the hell out of most men except for him though, Ibiki was the kind of guy that could eat a big piece of meat while watching Anko gut a man during one of her sessions and that was saying something.

"You do know that sixteen would get you twenty, right?" Ibiki mentioned. Anko merely shrugged, hey, a girl can dream can't she?

Back at the tower, Naruto spoke, "I know what it must feel like, loosing everything right now, our home is destroyed, and the works of the people before us vanished without anything left except for destroyed buildings and lives."
