"Where's the Hokage, I need to speak to him immediately!" Minato roared, as he stormed into the Hokage's tower, ignoring that he now soaked to the bone and fighting the erg to shiver from the freezing rain and howls wind.

"My apologies Namikaze-san, but the Lord Hokage is in an important meeting with the three sannin right now," the nervous chunnin at the front desk replied, trying not to stutter despite being terrified of the pissed-off jonin in front of him.

"I. Don't. Care." Minato addressed in a slow intimidating voice glaring at the chunnin with enraged blue eyes. Then added in a commanding tone, "inform him I'm coming up, I need to speak to him, immediately!"

"Sir, may I suggest you come back tomorrow morning?" The chunnin insisted after returning to front desk from the Hokage's office, slightly trembling.

"Inform him in 10 minutes I want to speak to him, I'll take no later than that," Minato spoke darkly trying not to growl at the already frightened chunnin.

"Y-yes, sir!" The chunnin stuttered out, before rushing to the Hokage's office again.

As soon as the chunnin disappeared up the stairs, Minato made his way to the waiting area. The serious Namikaze did not sit on the chairs meant for the patient or lean against the wall like some poser. Instead, he stood straight in the middle of the waiting area, unmoving, watching the clock ticking by the seconds.

"Your Minato Namikaze, correct?" A man in a doctor's uniform approached the blonde jonin. The man was a little taller than Minato but had a slender build with slightly pale skin. His mahogany shoulder-length hair was tied back into a low ponytail, as his hazel eyes complemented his friendly face.

Minato shakes the man's hand as he replied, "yes, that's me."

"Wow, it's an honor to meet the man I've heard so much about," the man exclaimed in excitement as looked at Minato up and down as he was analyzing a rare type of specimen.

"Uh, thanks," Minato replied awkwardly, grabbing the back of his head before the doctor released his hand.

"Oh, my apologies, how rude of me, I'm Doctor Yoshida." The doctor introduced himself with a short bow.

"Oh, there's no need for apologies it's fine, so are you a medical ninja?" Minato asked, as his eyes kept making glances at the clock and the stairwell leading up to the Hokage's office.

"Yes, but I work more as a Pediatric Specialist, and thanks to your efforts in the war the number of injured children have drastically decreased, so thank you so much for your service!" Doctor Yoshida complemented, with praise as he gave Minato a deep respectful bow.

"It's okay really, I'm just happy to help when I can," Minato answered a holding his hands out in front of his chest little bit embarrassed at such high praise.

"That's very kind of you Namikaze-san, and how are you this will stormy evening?" Dr. Yoshida questioned as the glass of the windows rattled against the harsh winds on the other side.

"Well I have been better," Minato replied vaguely, but truthfully.

"Oh, what's wrong if I may ask, you look highly stressed are your students arguing, again?" Dr. Yoshida asked in concern.

"Oh no, it's nothing like that!" Minato countered quickly then hesitates before asking, "wait, how do you know about my students?"

"Who doesn't know about the three prized students of the infamous yellow flash?" Dr. Yoshida chuckled, before explaining, "I used to be Rin's instructor when she started learning medical ninjutsu. She talked about her team an awful lot she's very fond of all of you, especially your little silver-haired prodigy."
