Chapter 7: The hokage

Walking along the hallways we made our way to meet the hokage. I had been getting looks from the ninja around me i know I should expect this now but its really annoying being watched by all these people. I'll have to be more careful from now on I can't have people finding out my secrets.

Stopping outside the door to the hokages office Ami had confirmed that we had a appointment. "Please have a seat the hokage will be available in a few minutes"

"okay thanks" Ami had replied as we walked over to the chairs lined up along the wall. Climbing up on the seat I sat there with Ami in silence for a while. 'I hope this goes well, if it's the third hokage I might be able to lie my way through and act like a child but if its Minato I'll have no idea what to do' from what I could remember the third had become soft after the nine tails attack mostly to children.

"Shiko-chan I want you to be on your best behavior the hokage is a very important person and remember as much as you can about that night I'll be with the intire time"

"Hmm okay Ami-san I'll do my best" I nod up at her.

Not soon after that did a few ninja come outside of the room they didn't look like anyone from the show, Ignoring them Ami and i were called into the office. Inside there was what I expected just like the show with a few differences for one the pictures on the walls are not the ones I remember and the main difference Minato namikaze was sitting behind the desk at the end of the room that was covered in pieces of paper.

"Ami-san its good to see you agian and Shiko-san it is good to meet you why don't you both have a seat" me and Ami both bowed towards minato before taking a seat. "would you like something to drink" he continued

"No thank you hokage-sama I'm fine how about you Shiko-chan"

"I'm okay" I answered starting to get nervous about the current situation. 'I need to calm down and act normal can't be showing im more different then i have already' i told myself as we sat in silence for a moment.

"Okay well I guess we should get to one of the main points of this meeting Shiko-san can you tell me exactly what had happened a few nights ago" the blond haired hokage asked while putting his elbows on the desk infront of him. So i proceeded to tell the events that occurred while leaving certain things out like my sharingan and the fact that I killed the last two boys in cold blood.

"And then I passed out and woke up in the hospital hokage-sama" I finished off story of the events, while I was telling it Ami had grabbed my hand and Minato had a blank look in his eyes. I started to hug my self with my one free arm while waiting for one of the adults in the room to talk.

" that matches up with reports of what we found. Now listen up Shiko-san the second thing we're going to talk about is if you'd like to go the academy. Asked Minato with a smile on his face while he leaned back in his seat looking more relaxed. Looking over at Ami to see what she thought i could see that she was telling me this was my decision not heres.

"Umm aren't I to young to go to the academy hokage-sama?" I asked knowing that usually kids start at 8 years old and graduated at 12.

"Your a smart girl Shiko-san I can really see your potential thats why I would like to start you at the academy next year. And the age issue I think you'll do fine and there have been other young exceptions like my student Kakashi Hatake and more recently Itachi Uchiha" listed off Minato as I thought about the pros and cons of going this early.

On one hand ill be able to grow faster and become stronger earlier but on the other there would be more eyes on me for being as young as I am. 'In the end i would be a fool the pass up on this opportunity and to make it better for myself I'll wait the full 4 years to graduate so it won't make me the youngest to graduate the academy'

"I'll go to the academy" i finished my thinking and replied to Minato, I would make the most of my situation and become as strong as possible.

~~line break~~

After we had finished up our talk and left the building me and Ami had went the rest of the way home in silence. Making it to the orphanage Ami had kneeled down infront of me.

"Listen Shiko-chan i want me to promise me that you'll be careful at the academy when you start and when you leave the orphanage untill then let me know i don't want you running off on your own okay?" Ami asked me seriously while holding my shoulders

"Okay but I have one request, can I call you mom" i asked back thinking about it Ami or as I want to call her mom has been there for me this entire time like my real mom should have been.

"O-of course Shiko-chan nothing would make me happier" replied mom while homing me and crying on my little shoulders. "Now come on lets get inside.

The rest of the day me and mom had hung out while I helped her out around the orphanage. Later that night laying in my bed i put together what I know about the current time line. For one Minato is currently hokage that means the nine tails hasn't attacked yet and that was about it i will need to find out if Kushina is pregnant or not. Finishing my small plani promised my self that I would be more of a kid for as long as i could before things change and i wouldn't be able to anymore. That doesn't mean I would neglect my training but I'll cut down on it for now untill I start the academy. Closing my eyes i fell asleep in no time with a smile on my face.

A.N thats that chapter done next one will finish this beginning arc off and start the next one hope you injoyed ill see you next time.
