Chapter 5 || Hokage

•••••

It was uncomfortable in the Hokage's office. There was a second person here, someone Ace assumed the Hokage had called to help him sort out her situation.

Ace had never been a big fan of new people to begin with, and this man she didn't recognise in the slightest. He was blonde, with striking green eyes and a strange haircut, almost like a mullet, but with strands to frame his face and the back half tied high in a ponytail.

"Welcome Ace" the Hokage smiles at the small girl, keeping his friendly tone even, as if trying to diffuse the uncomfortable atmosphere.

Ace bowed towards the Hokage hesitantly, keeping a wary eye on this new man stood at the Hokage's side.

He watched ace carefully, stanced with the tough disposition of a seasoned soldier. A ninja, Ace assumed. Wearing the same green vest Kakashi had worn when they'd met.

Must be some kind of uniform

"How was your stay in the hospital?" The Hokage asks warmly, a polite smile stretched across his face.

Ace glanced between him and the blond man skeptically "good." She responds shortly, catching the other man quirking an eyebrow at her tone.

Ignoring the guarded expression across her face, the Hokage continues to smile, never faltering "I'm glad to hear" his words sounded genuine enough for Ace to let some of the tension out of her shoulders. A pea sized amount, the smallest of small amounts of tension.

"This is mister Inoichi Yamanaka, the head of the Yamanaka clan." The old man introduces, gesturing gently "I'm hoping he will be able to help you with your memory problems, if you are okay with that."

Inoichi steps forward with a small smile of his own, "My clan specialises in certain Jutsu. Jutsu of the mind" he explains sweetly, in an attempt to charm the small girl into trusting him.

Ace tilted her head slightly unsure exactly what he meant. Different clans had specialised Jutsu? Did that mean the Uchiha clan had their own special line of Jutsu?

They probably specialised in Jutsu of the dickhead Ace thought to herself.

Maybe she should ask them about her surrogate clan. If the clan grounds were anything to go off of, there was a reason they all seemed so shocked by her showing up wearing that symbol.

"Would you be okay with me using my clan Jutsu on you?" Inoichi asks, breaking Ace from her train of thought.

She was immediately on guard, unconsciously taking a step away from Inoichi. She didn't know this man. How on earth could he expect her to trust him that easy. "No way" she replied sharply

The two men shared a glance, Inoichi raising his hands up, his palms facing the small girl in a show of his intentions. His attempt to convey his lack of hostility was lost on Ace however, who remained just as guarded.

"I don't know you, I don't trust you and I certainly don't want you anywhere near me with your weird mind Jutsu" Ace rattled off, her tongue sharp and her glare set in stone.

Inoichi raised his hands in surrender, taking a step back, away from the small girl, "of course, I would never enter your mind without your permission." He assures, returning to the Hokage's side.
