Inside the Hokage officeー
"You can come inside now, Kakashi." Tsunade Senju called out after Riku Hatake left her office.
Just a second after the words left her mouth, the door opened and from it appeared a man with silver hair. His face was almost completely covered except for his right eye. He wore a simple jounin vest and pants and he had a book in his hand that had 'Icha-Icha' Written on it in bold letters.
"I hope you have been well, Lady Hokage!" Kakashi said as he put the book that he was holding in his pocket.
"Yes. Though the work might kill me one day." Tsunade said as she glanced at the pile of peppers on her desk.
While Tsunade was glancing at her horror, After putting the book down, Kakashi bowed down as he spoke.
"Thank you for listening to my request, Lady Tsunade." Kakashi said as Tsunade focused back on Kakashi.
"Don't worry about it, Kakashi. Besides, I also had something similar in mind for Riku so it wasn't a big deal after all, we wouldn't want a capable ninja to just retire like that now, would we? Hehe" Tsunade said with an evil look in her eyes and Kakashi felt a shiver run through his body.
"Though, I was wondering...Why did you not directly tell him your intentions from the beginning? I don't think that the staring contest was really that necessary." Kakashi said in his usual lazy voice.
"..." Tsunade was silent for a while as she just looked at Kakashi for a second before saying.
"I'll tell you, if you tell me, why did you ask for that request concerning Riku? I don't think both of you have ever met before, so why?"
"..." Hearing her, Kakashi was silent for a few seconds as his only open eye looked directly at Tsunade.
"Never mind then." Kakashi said dismissing his own question.
"Oh! C'mon!" Tsunade spoke. Tsunade already knew why Kakashi request for Riku's sake. But Tsunade wanted Kakashi to admit it.
"Alright then! Suit yourself! But I guess you are not going to be able to hear my answer as well." Tsunade said smirkingly.
"Yes, that is fine." Again Kakashi said in his usual lazy voice which might or might not have annoyed Tsunade a little.
"Fine! Then you are dismiss!"
"Understood! And please know, that I am really greatful to you."
"...Yeah-yeah, now go!" Tsunade said in annoyance as Kakashi hurried out.
...
Somewhere inside Konohaー
"Yo! Karan!" It was early morning and sun had just began to rise. I was walking through one of Konoha's beutiful streets when a voice halted me from behind.
"Oh! Seiten!" I looked behind to find Seiten coming towards me with a bouquet in his hand.
"Wait! You are giving him a flower bouquet?"
"Yep! Cool right?"
"What do you mean cool? That's okay at best."
"You could have put it a bit more nicely, you know?"
"Hahaha...Alright now let's get a move on." As I said that we started picking our pace and soon reached our destination where Mio was already waiting for us.
"We are not late are we?"I asked Mio.
"Nope!" She simply replied as she glanced towards one particular direction.
I looked at where she was looking at to find a lone figure walking towards us from a street. He had grey hair, blue eyes and he wore a Konoha armband on his left arm. I heard Mio speakingー
"You are just in time."
Soon the figure arrived right in front of us as Seiten handed him the bouquet.
"I hope you become a great Sensei, sensei!" He said as he hugged him.
After that Mio also gave Sensei a gift box warped in beutiful decorative paper followed by me as we all wished him good luck on his new life.
After that, Sensei walked inside of the academy we were standing out of as we saw his back going further inside.
After he was no longer in our line of sight, we all also parted ways and headed our separate ways.
I started walking towards a certain person's apartment. I had wanted to meet this person for a while now but was not able to, simply because I was busy doing my own training.
I arrived at the door of this person as I knocked and waited but nobody answered. I knocked a second time but again no one answered.
'It looks like he is not at his house.' I thought for a second about where he could be but was interrupted by somebody shouting.
"Yahhh! Haaa!"
Immediately after hearing the voice I realised who it was and walked towards where the shouting was coming from. After a bit of walking, I came across a training field and saw a ninja my age punching and kicking a wooden log.
The ninja was wearing a green jumpsuit and he had a bowl style hair cut. He looked exactly like how he looked in anime. As he kept on practicing, I decided to observe him for a while so I climbed up a tree and sat down on a branch.
I kept on observing him as he just kept punching and kicking at the log. The whole time that I was observing him, he never once slowed down and even his form didn't change but the log certainly did as it now looked like it was about to break. And soon, it did break which marked the end of my observation as I decided to go and meet him.
I climbed down the tree and walked towards him as he turned towards me. As soon as he saw me his face showed a smile as he shouted.
"Oh! Hello there, My dear friend Karan! What can I do for you?" He shouted as he showed me his teeth.
"How have you been, Lee? I hope I didn't disturb your training?" I asked.
"Not at all, My dear friend! I am always prepared to do anything for my friends, so just ask away."
"Well, I wanted you to introduce me to Guy sensei. I was thinking if I could get Guy sensei's help in making me a routine to increase my strength and agility since I don't know what to do for them." I asked and noticed Lee's brows twitching and then his whole body started trembling as he looked down for a second only to look up the next seconds with fire in his eyes as he shoutedー
"YOUTH!!!! Your flames of YOUTH has ignited my fire even further, My friend!" He then grabbed both of my hands before continuing.
"We don't have to give Guy sensei trouble for our small tasks because if you just want to train your strength and agility, This Lee can help you with his POWER OF YOUTH!!!!"
"Well, it might still be better ifー"
"Let's start with a Thousand laps around the training ground! C'mon!"
"Wait, Lee, my hand, At least let go of my hand."
"YOUTH!!!!"
And so, my torture began. I just wanted to get Guy sensei to help me write down a way to train both my strength and agility but I think coming to Lee was not the best idea...
----------
YOUTH!!! Pls, give me stones!
