From Spy to Ninja (KakashixReader)

The will of fire

You were awake for some time now, thinking about how your life had made a 180 degrees turn just in one day. You didn't know what the Hokage would decide for you, heck you didn't even know what exactly happened to you in the first place.

You felt the smell of tobacco in the air and looked around to see an elder man in front of your cell. You didn't even hear him approach. The smell was the same as you felt in front of the Hokage's office and seeing the man standing there alone without a guard you assumed it would be the Hokage in person. You stood up and gave a slight bow in respect.

"Lord Hokage I assume?"

He gave you a reassuring smile.

"You're perceptive. Come walk with me."

You looked at him and then at your cell door.

"It's open."

Surprised you tried the door and indeed it was open.

You were walking in silence through the village and up a mountain with some faces carved in it. Once up there the view was amazing.

"I have thought about your situation. Inoichi and Ibiki have made their report about you and the way you came into this world. It's the first time I heard such a thing and I don't know of a way to send you back."

You let a heavy breath out.

"I thought that much. I never imagined that something like that would be even possible."

"Now what do you intend to do?"

"Are you letting me go?"

"If you intend so, yes."

You thought about it.

"There is nowhere for me to go. I don't even know this world."

"I want to tell you something (Y/N). Every person here in Konohagakure is part of my family. I am their leader, their protector. At my service are the shinobi. They are the army of the Land of Fire. They would give their lives protecting their land and it's people. Their will I like to describe as the will of fire and I was wondering if you have something like that in you."

You looked at him curiously but also puzzled. You wanted to learn about this new world but couldn't think of why he would tell that to you.

"I'm sorry Lord Hokage, I don't think I can follow you."

"Inoichi and Ibiki added in their report an evaluation of your personality and capabilities based on your memories and the answers to their questions. When they asked about your loyalty you said you wouldn't give your life for your superiors. But in your memories, they could see how you often risked your own life for your colleges. Based on that I think you have the right priorities to become a shinobi of the leaf."

"You want me in your military force?"

"I am giving you an opportunity to prove yourself worthy to become a shinobi if you wish so. If not, I won't send you away. You haven't chosen to come to this world and it doesn't feel right to send you away, so if you wish you're welcomed to stay and find another occupational that suits you."

You were surprised with such generosity after they had imprisoned you and all.

"I have been trained since I was a kid to fight, follow orders, and complete missions. I don't know if I'm able to do something else. I am grateful for your offer, but I don't know if I have that will of fire as you described. I don't even know this land."

The Hokage lightened his pipe and proceeded to talk.

"That's why I want to send you on a journey with a former student of mine. He would teach you everything you need to know what it means to be a shinobi. He would train you and help you find how to use the chakra as you did when you killed that man that came with you."
