Kagurama's Pov.
Completely out of breath, I stood in front of the Kage office. It took nearly 5 minutes to get here by running on rooftops, so it was probably about 5:22. I hesitantly knocked on the door trying to look as composed as I could.
"Come in." The voice through the door said. Releasing a breath I opened the door. I crossed my arms and stood in the middle of the room, staring at the blonde Hokage with my naturally narrowed red eyes. "No need to look so tense, Kagurama-San." The Hokage said causing me to furrow my brows.
"I am not tense. This is how I naturally look in case you have forgotten." I responded, hinting that I didn't want small talk, nor even be in his presence at the moment. He chuckled at this.
"You almost remind me of my son Naruto. The pranks I hear you both pull, I'm rather surprised you two aren't friends." He said with a smile. Is this what he called me for? I felt my eye twitch at the irritation I was beginning to feel.
"I doubt you're actually surprised. You of all people should know that every child's parents tell their kids not to play with me. I don't know if you do it too, but to be honest, I couldn't care less. Now, can you tell me why I'm here?" I said rather rudely. Not that I care anyways. Sure I had respect for the Hokage. However, I'm the type of person who doesn't get overly excited and polite towards people in power. If it was the Nidaime, it would be completely different though.
"Fox told me you were a blunt child. I could see what he meant. Anyways, how are you liking the academy then?" He asked, eyes slightly narrowing. I however was not affected in the least.
"Because you're the Hokage, I'm assuming you already know I haven't attended the last couple of days." I said, my lips forming into an annoyed pout.
"Yes, that is true. Why is that, Kagurama-San?" He asked pressing on the issue, despite my obvious discomfort.
"Iruka-Sensei is no different than anyone else! He's supposed to be the one to help me get on the right track to becoming a Kunocihi, but just like everyone, he looks at me like scum! How do you expect me to attend the academy with a teacher that hates me guts?!" I shouted clearly annoyed.
"I heard you wanted to become Hokage." Yondaime said causing me to blink at him confused. All anger and annoyance wiped away. "You can't do that until you've graduated from the academy, and become a ninja." He finished. I could feel my emotions raging within at this.
"Then I'll go to another stupid Village and become a Kage for them! Besides it's not like anyone will miss me! Everyone will be glad that I'm leaving anyways!" I shouted at him. My face forming into a glare of anger. Anger was an emotion that surfaced a lot more than other emotions, which caused a foreign feeling to bubble in my stomach.
"I'm sorry Kagurama-San but that isn't going to happen. We can't let an important member of this Village-!"
"Enough with that bullshit! No one even likes me, so there is absolutely no reason for me to exist in this village! The Villagers are always saying that I don't deserve to exist, so why do I?! I didn't even do anything wrong, and I am cursed with no one to love me! I have no parents and I never did, but despite all that, I still have a longing towards the dead people who left me all alone to surfer in this hateful village! You're supposed to protect everyone in this village, but I'm a monster who doesn't count as a child of Konoha! I hate it here, and I hate you!" I screamed feeling my eyes welling up with tears. Ignoring the expression I couldn't decipher on the Hokage's face, I ran out of the tower, covering my face with my hands.
Screw him! Screw this stupid village! I don't want to be Hokage anymore! I don't want to be anything anymore! I wish I never existed! I-
"Hey! Skunk- I mean Kagurama!" My thoughts were cut off by someone calling me. I quickly wiped my eyes and looked up to see Hibachi and his group. Great, what do they want? "If you manage to do something, we'll accept you as the future Hokage, and even let you become our friend!" Hibachi said with a smirk. Under normal circumstances, a person would refuse this offer. However, if it was a person who's never had a single friend, or anyone to accept them was offered this, they'd want it despite who was offering. And hey, I was still a 7 year old gullible child.
"What is it." I asked slightly brightening up from my confrontation with the Hokage.
"My dad's patrol unit ran into enemy Shinobi last night in the back hills. They won the battle, and there's a corpse left. If you grab something, and bring it back, we'll even start calling you the 5th Hokage." Hibachi said and his friends nodded. I grinned at him and began making my way to the back hills. Forget what I said earlier, this is the perfect chance for getting people to accept me.

I have been searching for hours, and I couldn't find a single object, nor corpse. Just as I was about to turn and leave into a different direction, my body froze feeling the tingling sensation I feel whenever someone is arriving. I looked up at the direction I felt it from to see Iruka-Sensei land on a tree branch.
"Kagurama!" He called.
"Iruka." I responded coldly, crossing my arms.
"There are still dangerous people here!" He scolded trying to convince me to leave.
"There is absolutely no way I am going back, even if you begged me to." I scoffed while narrowing my eyes.
"Do as I say, I am your homeroom teacher!" He demanded. As if he had any right to order me around!
"You do not understand nor comprehend my feelings. Even if I return, nothing will change. I will continue to remain alone." I thought remembering how every child but me at the academy has someone to pick them up from the park. "But now things will be different. If I bring back an item from the enemy's corpse, everyone will accept me as their friend! If I do that, I won't be alone anymore!" I exclaimed trying to get him to see my point.
"Please try to understand! No matter what your reason may be, as your teacher I cannot allow you to go to such dangerous places!" Iruka-Sensei snapped back. I looked down feeling disheartened, but also annoyed. What gave him the right to tell me what I can or cannot do?
"Killer technique, Sexy jutsu!" I exclaimed transforming into a naked raven haired women with ice blue eyes. Iruka-Sensei stared at my transformation with wide eyes before passing out from a nosebleed. Seeing the victory, I smirked and hightailed out of there, continuing my quest to find an object from the corse.
