A man with spiky silver hair who was wearing the standard Jounin uniform was seen standing in front of a grave-looking down solemnly. His name was Kakashi Hatake. He was part of the infamous team 7 and a student of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze hailed as the yellow flash of Konoha. He was teammates with Rin Nohara and Obito Uchiha. And he was the only one from team 7 that was still alive.
"Ano" He snapped out of his thoughts and his form tensed. He looked towards where the voice came from. It was the blue-haired Hyuga heiress. Her name was Hinata and she was one of Kurenai's students if he recalled correctly. "Hokage-sama asked me to tell you to go to her office Hatake-san." She said looking at him with soft eyes and a smile.
He had a small smile underneath his mask. She may not be quiet and timid anymore, but she was still so kind and innocent, maybe a little too much. But he liked that about her. Despite being a shinobi a person who is taught to fight and kill, she was still the same kind girl from her genin days. It was very, very rare that a shinobi can still maintain their innocence and kindness after becoming a shinobi. She was one of those people and he silently hoped she would always be that way.
He nodded then said, "Maa, maa Kakashi, Hatake-san makes me feel old." She blinked then let out a small laugh. She nodded and her usual soft smile was seen. She waved him goodbye then left.

She sighed as she finished packing for her mission. It was a rather simple mission. Which she was thankful for. It was nice to have an easy and simple mission once in a while. And she honestly needed a break from all the long and difficult missions Tsunade-shishou has been giving her.
Hinata shook away her thoughts and grabbed her bag. She walked out of her room and nodded to the Hyugas that passed by. She nodded to Neji when she passed by the Hyuga's private training grounds. And he gave a subtle nod back and continued training.
She and Neji's relationship has grown over the years. During their genin days, Neji hated her because she was from the Main Branch. But after the Chunin exams, he started to slowly warm up to her.
It started out with little things like giving her tips on how to improve whenever they trained or giving her a small smile when he was in a really good mood. He eventually apologized to Hinata about the way he treated her.Hinata being Hinata forgave him quite quickly. After that, they became more and more comfortable with each other. Now both could be seen occasionally training, going on missions together, or simply spending time together. Though not as much as of late.
She continued walking towards the entrance of the compound. The guards nodded to her as she walked out and she gave them a small smile in return. She waved and smiled at the people and children she passed by throughout the village. She looked up as she arrived at the gates. She stopped walking for a moment took a breath and continued on her way.
She had just got done checking into the inn she was staying at. It had a single queen-sized bed, a small balcony towards her right, a nightstand on one side of her bed, an armchair on the other side of her bed, and a desk with a chair directly in front of her bed. The bathroom was direct to the left when you first walk into the room.
She was honestly feeling a little hungry. Normally, she would just stick with the standard soldier pill, but those soldier pills taste rather unpleasant. And she was craving something sweet. So, she decided to stop at a Dango stand she saw on her way here.
So she sat up and got off the bed and slipped into her sandals. She was still in the standard jounin outfit, but she wasn't bothered. She let out a small yawn and left the room.
