Chapter 4

Hiruzen smiled a grandfatherly smile. Aoji cringed back, she wasn't used to such brightness.

"We also have to deal with your living arrangements" he hummed in thought.

"Why not be Naruto's neighbor? The last one moved out last month!" Hiruzen didn't mention that it was because Naruto had pulled an ungodly amount of pranks on the poor man.

"hm.. Ok" Aoji smiled slightly. She wondered if she could deal with Naruto's brightness every day. She had gotten used to it though, watching the entire show 10 times through did that.

"I'll send an Anbu to guide you there." Hiruzen motioned to one of the 20 Anbu hiding in various spots near Ichiraku. A bit much, but ok.

"Kinoe." He ordered.

A brown haired man deactivated his henge as a random Hashirama tree.

No way.

He kneeled down and nodded at the Hokage

Tree baby is here

Aoji mentally fist pumped aggressively. Yamato was one of her favorite characters. Mokuton was so cool. 

Yamato briskly walked over to her, holding his arm out. "Grab my arm." He commanded. He probably wanted to shunshin to the apartment. Aoji wondered what it would feel like to shunshin.

She hesitantly grabbed the Anbu's arm and got whisked away to the apartment in a blur of color and fast spinning. Aoji stumbled as the pair appeared at the entrance to the apartment. 

Guess that answers that..

She shook her head in a vain attempt to get rid of the dizziness. Aoji didn't even know it was possible to spin that fast. She felt even dizzier remembering the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Spin the Hyuga's did to ward off physical attacks. 

Yamato led her to the door and handed her the keys to the apartment. "Thanks" Aoji spinned the lanyard around on her finger. The Anbu nodded stiffly before leaving the same way they had arrived. Aoji sighed, Yamato was so stiff right now. She had to see if she could do anything to that. She rubbed her hands together.

Deciding to check out the place she would stay for an unidentifiable amount of time, possibly until the Pein attack if she couldn't prevent it. 

Aoji unlocked the door, which opened with a loud creak. She winced at the sound, it was like nails on chalkboards. The apartment was nearly barren, other than a bed and other necessary furniture. It was near identical to Naruto's apartment, the only difference being no ramen cups scattered everywhere. 

Aoji sat down on the bed, suddenly reminded of the supression seal still sticking to her forehead, greedily sucking chakra. The Hokage and Yamato hadn't said anything about it, so Aoji assumed it was fine to take it off now. She reached up to her forehead and started trying to peel it off her forehead, but it stuck as if there was superglue on it. 

"Send chakra to your fingers and slowly pull it off" Hagoromo advised her. 

Aoji smiled, maybe it was good to have the sage of six paths chilling in her stomach. Thinking back on the pull she felt earlier from making the chains, she focused on the Fluidearthhot sensation flowing through her body almost like veins. 

Her hand slightly glowed in a dull purple hue. Why is my chakra purple anyways? Isn't it supposed to be blue?

"Ah, that would be me, I'm helping heal your reserves from the shock of suddenly opening by mixing my chakra with yours" Hearth rumbled
