The Sage's Daughter (Naruto Fanfic)

Chapter 13 - A walk with the Hokage

Chapter 13

"Alexis!" Dante shouted out through his laughter as we ran through the streets. Almost two weeks had already gone by and the two of us had barely done any training. We'd visited the other candidates from time to time, but other than that, we just hung around on Shikamaru's favourite hill and watched the sky turn from day to night, admiring the stars.

Since Sasuke wasn't around anywhere and I forgot where Kakashi trains him, I've been living in the woods with Dante, just the two of us. I couldn't be bothered to make another cabin to be honest and living outside was good enough for me.

Deciding to stop and take a breather, I leant against the large red bridge, my gaze shifting from fish to fish that were swimming in the river below. "What do we do now?" I asked with a sigh. Dante 'Hmm'd' and sat down at my feet, also gazing out into the river.

"I'm seriously bored and I don't feel like training!" I wined as I slid down to sit besides my best friend. "..." I sighed but suddenly got an idea. Turning to face Dante, a smirk played at my lips "Lets go back" "Huh?" He asked, clearly confused. "I said 'lets go back' as in, back to earth" In the blink of an eye, he shot up and bared his teeth angrilly.

"We are NOT going back there" I rose an eyebrow. Never had he been this angry with me "Why not?" I moaned in annoyance "We can say 'hi' to Allesandro while we're at it" "I said NO! You do know that if we go back there, we die right? Besides, It's impossible to go through dimentions" That's were the smirk come in.

"Actually.. it is possible.. for me anyway" "Are you serious?" I nodded "Does that mean your the one who brought us here?" At that I shook my head. "To be honest.. even I have no clue as to how we came here in the first place. It could have been an accident or destiney" I stood up and stretched, stifling a yawn. "I'll agree with you.. for now. But, as soon as the Chunin exams are over, we're gone. We have to settle things. Got it?" He growled, but gave me a curt nod, however reluctant it was.

With a smile, I began walking away. "Where are you going?" "..To the Hokage" He cuckled sofly and followed suit.

*Knock, Knock*

We had arrived at the Hokage's office and I had just knocked on the door. A gruff "Come in" could be heared from behind the door and I followed it's orderes.

"Hey Lord Hokage" I stated with a bow. His gaze shifted from Anko, Ibiki and other ANBU towards myself. I rose an eyebrow "Why the serious looks?" I joked with a smirk. Ibiki glared at me, to which I returned with my own, much harsher glare.

The Hokage cleared his throat "What did you come here for Alexis?" I nodded, finally realising I came here for a reason. "I need to talk with you" He gestured with his hand for me to do so. I rolled my eyes at him not getting what I meant "Alone" The ninja in the room rose their eyebrows at me suspiciously.

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose in annoyance "Don't worry. I'm not gonna do anything suspicious. It's important and I'm sure the Hokage would love to hear it" Anko was about to say something, when The hokage himself interrupted her. "It's fine" He stood up and walked over to me, opened the door and walked out, however not before turning to look at me from over his shoulder, saying - "Are you coming?" I nodded and skipped after him, Dante right behind.

We walked in silence, until we came across a field with many gorgeous flowers, all different colours. I gaze at them in astonishment, although it didn't show on the outside. "So.." The Hokage began, bringing me out from my thoughts.

"Right.. well, we might as well sit down, cause this is going to be a long story" He smiled kindly and plopped himself down gingerly onto the clean cut, lush green coloured grass. Patting the spot besides him, he stated "Sit" I rolled my eyes, however did so nonetheless. Dante though, sat a way away from me, not wanting to hear anything.
