2 Ceremony, new beginnings, New Genin

{ Konohagakure, Year 41 modern era.}

===============================

It's being 13 days since the end of the second world Shinobi War, 3 days since Jiraiya return.

The pain of War cannot exceed the woe of the aftermath,

Tribulation, sorrow, and even Triumphs, is for the youth to embrace.

We can see at this moment the people of the village hidden in the leaf, proceeding to fulfill that role and see the youth the orphans the ones left Under The Shadow of a single tree, trying to inherit that sorrow, with tears of goodbyes, to The Fallen ones, while the older generation do their job trying to inherit the Triumph of the heroes, to the new generation, maybe it's for keeping up a Burning Flame of Youth, or just the fear of being forgotten after the sacrifice for the village when their time Comes To Die For The Village.

These moments ago where the tear-stained ending of the honor ceremony and the funeral of the lucky ones, who got remembered, who had a close one survived to tell their story.

( engraved in Steel here lays the the swords and shields of konoha The Village hidden in the leaf)

============

{ Hokage office, two weeks after the ceremony.}

============

" come in" said the third Hokage in his chair, still focusing on the papers in front of him.

Entered office his secretary with a heap of papers and stood waiting for the third Hokage further commands, and she was in no way relaxed, well how can she be relaxed in the presence of a Hokage with post paperwork stress disorder.

It took the third Hokage a couple more minutes to rise his head to see what's the new work all about, that's if he didn't get interrupted with three shouts of respect" Hokage sama".

Suddenly out of nowhere, now there are three additional individuals in the office, kneeling on one knee, hiding their faces under a mask of different animals, with gray tops and pants black ninja sandals.

They were Anbu, in another world the elite Shinobi of the village that work directly under the Hokage himself and no one else.

And these three Anbus are kind of special, why? Because they mostly deal with civilian council and by that it means, act as a communication Bridge between the third Hokage and the civilian Council, a council that manages civilians led by rich merchants and politically strong Clans with ties in the capital of the land of Fire where the Daimyo Lives and governs the whole land.

By now the third Hokage could see the three extra piles of papers on the floor next to the 3 Anbus, and the expression on the third Hokage's face..... Well for an ignorant who's not acquainted with the Hokage, would see a normal and calm expressionless face, but for the people inside the office, they knew that what you would call a broken old man, who is dead from the inside, and this explains why the ears of the secretary suddenly got red,

And one of the Anbu fidgeting trying to suppress his laughter,

With soft groans from the ceiling, obviously someone who couldn't suppress their laughter well.

After taking a deep draw from his pipe, said the Hokage in a deep and hoarse voice

" what is this all about? You first mei" turning his head waiting for the secretary to explain the pile of paper she brought with her.

" yes, Hokage Sama," replied the somewhat nervous Mei" this Hokage Sama are the complaints of the war victim's families and some from a couple of orphanages in the village and the outskirt of the village" further explained Mei professionally as she regained her cool" for the families, it's either they didn't get a compensation or when they got one it's not nearly enough to support them, and the orphanages simply put lack of funds and a greater flow of Orphans" finished mei, to start shivering from The Killing intent leaking from the third Hokage even the Anbu in the office were doing their Ulta most to stay put and calm....

" I believe I made my instructions about this clear, so can you go ahead and explain this to me" said the Hokage with a voice that seem like it came out from the deep reaches of hell.

"H-hoka-kage-s-sama, the civilian Council are m-making things difficult for us" said Mei while stuttering.

The Hokage just nodded his head " I will deal with them later" said calmly while looking back at the other 3 Anbu with his strict gaze inviting them to speak.

" well....." said the first Anbu awkwardly which brought a frown on the hokage's face.

" I think what we have here Hokage sama, is the excuse of the council" said the Anbu Hurriedly so not to make the third Hokage get mad any further.

" explain!!" a word and a slight twitch that's all they got as a reply.

" well, Hokage Sama, briefly this three piles of papers he talk about the problems the council precisely the merchants are facing, end the huge number of things that need fixing... Basically the nearby destroyed States with houses of Commerce that belongs to konoha, ruined Farms, ruined Commerce Roads, that needs to be fixed immediately, labor shortage, the majority are the borders Outpost that got destroyed..... And the list goes on....." said mole the first Anbu from the left.

' those exaggerating greedy bastards' thought the Third Hokage.

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, he ordered The Anbus and Mei to put down the papers and leave.

Looking at the big circular room of the office that seemingly got small because all of these huge piles of paperwork.

'sigh... A student with haemophobia.... And the sensei is about to develop a claustrophobia' sighs in his heart the old man known as the third Hokage.

=================

{ A month later }

=================

More or less The Village started getting its Vitality back.

People living their life trying to distract themselves from the sorrow.

Everyone doing his thing Shinobi Patrol and make sure The Village and its inhabitants are safe, the civilians do what they are best at, merchants run after their money, blacksmiths work to keep The Village armed or Repair anything made of steel or metal destroyed in the war...

==≠==================

{ Again in the Hokage office.}

=====================

" good morning Hokage sama, I heard that you summoned me" said Minato while entering the office"mm!! That's true Minato, you can take a seat while we are waiting for someone else, who is the reason I brought you here" replied the Hokage still doing his work.

Minato just raised an eyebrow in thought I didn't ask, since the Hokage didn't explain any further, and the third party will be here soon.

So he just took a seat and kept watching the Hokage work in silence.

10 minutes later.

" come in Kakashi-kun" said the Hokage getting the attention of Minato,' isn't that the White Fang's son' thought Minato.

In the other side of the door, Kakashi a little kid a 5 years old, brought down he's right hand that he intended to knock the door with, to reach for the door's handle.

With slight push he entered the office with a calm face covered with a mask, a cloth mask till the nose, and a standard blue ninja clothes, crowned with silver gravity-defying hair, held together with a forehead protector band.

" hello Kakashi-kun, and congratulation on becoming a Genin" said the third Hokage in return Kakashi just calmly nodded.

The Hokage turns back to the surprised Minato and said" Minato meet your first genin team member and student Kakashi, Kakashi Hatake".

"Huh!!!" Minato.
