Chapter 24: 23
( outside hokage office )
knock knock ...
3rd - come in ..
ken - good morning hokage sama ..
3rd - oh.. Ken kun. so you've returned from the border patrol mission already . I'm sorry , I didnt expect the attack from cloud village .. it's good that nobody was seriously injured ..( relieved )..
ken - it's not your fault at all hokage sama ( he is really worried about me . well I admit that I was mistaken before about his intentions towards me ) . it's our job to protect the village . besides there were no casualties anyway so there is no problem..
3rd - ( smile ) that's true . but I wonder where the enemy ninja went ? I didnt receive any reports of them leaving after your team escaped ..
ken - ( well I killed them of course . my clone did it though ) i don't have a clue sir . I was desperate to deliver the news in the village then..
3rd - I'm not blaming anyone Ken. it's just that there is no proof so the cloud village is not admitting to anything .. so Ken, do you still want to participate in chunin exams ?
ken - if possible but it cannot be helped if there are no teammates available to team up with me . I'm fine with participating next time ..
3rd - I'm sorry ken , you will have to wait till next time . there are many genin eligible but you can't practice good teamwork in a short time ..
ken - I understand hokage sama ( well I'm not that desperate anyway . ) .
3rd - ken , let's go outside now . I'm tired with all this paperwork and a short break will not hurt ..
ken - ( this old man really just wants to slack off . it's no use to lie to me as I can feel your emotions.. ) sir , you can use shadow clones for working efficiently..
3rd - ( dropped his smoking pipe ) why couldn't I think .. cough cough ( embarrassed) thank you Ken, you can leave now ..
ken - ( he is really embarrassed right now . ) yes sir ( shunshin no jutsu ) ..
( I'm sorry old man . I still dont feel like saving you . i simply dont like when someone doesn't take responsibility for their actions and still get away with it easily . those politicians from earth are the best example . people have suffered a lot so you have to take responsibility. dont worry, tsunade will do a fine job after you are gone . I will make sure of it .. )
( at ichiraku ramen )
ken - yo naruto . why are stuffing alone here ? where is hinata ?
naruto- ( slurp ) she is training with her team daytebayo.. ne ne .. ken , what do you think hinata will like as a gift ?...
ken - ( this boy really doesn't know proper manners when asking something from others . well he is an orphan and nobody must have bothered teaching him these things carefully with patience anyway ..) hmm.. I think she will be very happy , if you take her out for a picnic ..
naruto - what's a picnic ?
ayame - baka naruto . ken , you order your food , I will teach this idiot now ..
ken - ( honestly , ayame you are a huge help . I dont have confidence to teach naruto anyway about love matters.. I dont know much myself after all .. ) thank you . you are beautiful today as usual ayame San..
( after a while )
( ( slurp) that shameless naruto .. he just ran off somewhere without thanking me for giving him advice . from his personality, he must have gone to see hinata anyway .. let's stop thinking about that idiot and enjoy excellent ramen .. delicious as always ..)
