A few days in the Hospital passed by, and Sasuke was cleared to leave. A nurse entered the room with a decorated gift box signed by Edgeshot, "For you, Uchiha."

Sasuke stopped wrapping his bones in energy and accepted the box, opening it to see his sword. The note read: They told me you lost this back at the camp, so I recovered it for you. Pass the upcoming license exam in less than a couple of weeks, and then come back to my agency again. You'll earn the best sword we have, and I'll teach you how to use wires."

'There's a license exam happening? I can't slack off much longer then… before I leave though, maybe this hospital has some public records I could somehow access. The staff should know.' Sasuke removed the gown and put back on his normal uniform. He exited his room and bumped into someone who fell. He looked down to see a familiar red hat and said, "Kota?" He kneeled and Kota looked up with a smile, "Sasuke! You're ok!" 

Sasuke's expression lightened and a faint smirk rose on his face, "Of course I am. Did you come here for me?"

"Yeah. I heard you went head-to-head with AFO himself! That's badass!" Kota pumped his fist.

Sasuke looked away for a moment and thought, 'I sure got my ass beat badly...' He turned back, "Yeah... Just so you know, when I told you about my revenge, AFO was the main guy responsible."

Kota's big eyes got wider, "Really?! So he's like Muscular?"

"Way worse. Imagine if Muscular's IQ was 160 instead of 75. And he also  had a couple dozen other quirks making him twenty times stronger. That's AFO.

Kota gulped and Sasuke continued, "Yeah. I'm just gonna have to get stronger."

Mandalei passed by, "Oh, Kota. There you are. We gotta go now."

Kota turned away, "Do we have to? I wanted to talk to Sasuke more!"

She smiled, "Yes, besides someone else is waiting to talk to Sasuke."

Kota grunted and ran off waving, "See ya, Sasuke!"

Sasuke waved back, but then a chill ran down his spine. 'AFO!' He jolted around glaring at the figure behind him, but eased when he saw it was just an old man with three jagged lines going down his face. 

Sasuke eased and straightened up, "Who are you?" He sized him up, noticing the X scar on his chin. 

The man smiled, showing off even more wrinkles, "You may call me... Hiruzen. I'm with the Hero Public Safety Commission. I'm the one that opted for you getting sent those government checks every month."

Sasuke stayed tense, 'The HPSC? On the forums, they called this organization pretty shady. Compared it to some old American agency a lot. What was it called? The CIA I think?' He spoke, "Oh... Are they gonna get canceled now since I'm old enough to work?"

"Heh, no not at all. The confidence we have in your future as a... Hero will guarantee we provide for you until you officially become one."

"Ah, nice, so what are you here for then?" He crossed his arms.

"Let’s go inside your room first." They both strolled back into the room as Danzo closed the door. "I'm here because I've been paying attention to a lot of your choices... One of which being the time you were... "ambushed" for example?"

Sasuke's eyes widened and his mouth tensed, but Danzo continued, "And I completely support what you're doing"

Sasuke's mouth dropped, "Huh?"

"I support it. You've taken matters into your own hands and accomplished something the police never could."

Sasuke regained his composure, "Well they gave me their location."
