Meeting the Hokage once again

"…Hmm?" Hiruzen looks questioningly at his son Asuma who was being carried underneath Kakashi's arm while still fainted, and then his gaze turned to me while I was riding Guy's neck. Enjoying quite the view from my position I wave at him and gave him playful smile while holding unto Guy's hair.

He raised an eyebrow at me as he studies my face carefully, his eyes wandered back in between me and Asuma for a few seconds. Afterwards he laughed out loud as Kakashi and Guy looked at each other looking quite puzzled.

"Hahaha! It's great to see you again Tenshin-sama." He stood up from his chair as he walks towards me and bowed lightly.

"Hmm? I got caught?" I dispelled the Henge as Guy cough a bit because of the smoke and put me down in worry. Kakashi and Guy look surprised when they realized I've been in a henge all this time and studied my face seriously.

"Nee… Jiji, have we meet before?" I acted like I've never seen the Hokage before. Afterall, I was just a year old when I last seen him.

"That's right, Tenshin-sama. But you were just a little baby back when you visited with your Father and Mother." Hiruzen lightly ruffled my hair as he kneeled at my eye level.

"Hokage-sama. May I ask who's this little child is?" Kakashi couldn't keep his curiosity any longer as he asks the Hokage respectfully.

"Let me introduce you, Hideyoshi Tenshin. Son and heir of the Fire Daimyo." Hiruzen stood up beside me and introduced me with pride at the two stunned shinobi.

"Greetings Tenshin-sama!" Guy and Kakashi kneeled in unison as the later put down Asuma's sleep body beside him and greeted me in loud voice.

Asuma seemed to have woke up as he grudgingly woke up while moaning painfully. I walk up towards Asuma and lightly slap his forehead several times.

"Oi! Asuma wake up." Asuma snapped opened his eyes as he sat up in a hurry.

"Kurenai!" He shouted her name and looked around frantically. When he saw where he was and saw the Hokage he suddenly stood up straight in attention as they both stared at each other silently.

'Oh, I remember this two had a fight before, right?' I noticed the awkward silence of the two, after a few seconds of just them staring at each other silently so I decided to end the awkward atmosphere.

"So, Asuma. Is this the Hokage you were talking about." I lightly pulled Asuma's pants to get his attention.

"Ohh. Ah, yes Tenshin-sama. This is the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen." Asuma introduced the Hokage formally but didn't say that he was also his father which seemed to hit Hiruzen's string a bit as I noticed him flinching a bit.

"Nice to meet you Hokage-sama. I'll be in your care." Observing the proper etiquette as a noble I bowed elegantly while giving pleasantries at the Hokage.

"Welcome to Konoha, young lord." Hiruzen was quite please with me as he smile quite fondly.

"So… Why has the young lord's escort guardian fainted before even bringing him here?" Hiruzen then decided to speak business as he raised an eyebrow at his son's direction. Asuma flinched and looked away from the Hokage looking quite ashamed.

"Ohh right. We meet this beautiful but scary Onee-san on our way here and Asuma...." I narrated what happened earlier with the Hokage as Asuma decided to retreat back further trying to escape the Hokage room but Kakashi and Guy blocked his path and had to injure the shame while I continue telling the story.

"Hahaha! I can already see why Kurenai acted that way!" The Hokage laughed heartily after hearing my story. "Kakashi, go and find Kurenai and bring her here." Kakashi affirmed and disappeared from the room.

"Now, let's take a seat while we wait for Kurenai. Do you like some sweets and juice, Tenshin-sama?" Hiruzen then guided us out of the Hokage room and made our way towards the Visitors room in the Hokage tower.

A few minutes later while we were eating some sweets inside the Visitors room while I tell them stories of our Journey to Konoha, Kakashi and Kurenai arrived. Asuma stood up immediately as soon as he sees Kurenai at the door looking quite hopeful.

"You called for me Hokage-sama." Kurenai on the other hand didn't give a single glance at Asuma as she was staring straight at the Hokage and didn't even notice me and Guy inside the room.

"Hmm." Hiruzen nodded at her. "Let me introduce you to my son's… son?" Hiruzen paused for the last part as he was almost about to laugh. Kurenai could not help but feel offended and a bit angry when she saw the Hokage holding back his laugher.

"*Ahem* This child is Hideyoshi Tenshin." Hiruzen managed to keep his composure and said my name clearly while referring to me with his hand.

"Nice to see you again Onee-san." I wave at Kurenai while smiling mischievously. When she looks at me she was looking very puzzled.

"Oh, that's right. I forgot this." I transformed into my previous Henge ealier and walk to Asuma while playfully waving both my arms at her.

"T-that…Hideyoshi?...Ehh… D-does it mean?" Kurenai was clearly understanding the situation now as she stuttered and asked nervously while blushing heavily.

"That's right, Kurenai." Kakashi patted Kurenai on her shoulder while making his signature eye smile.

"He's not my son, Kurenai." Asuma said frustratingly as I laughed out loud and dispelled my henge. "Why didn't you even let me explain?!"

"B-because… h-he looked just like you when we were little. I-I just thought that…" Kurenai was basically looks like a tomato at this point as she hid her face behind her hands and sat down in embarrassment.

Everyone on the room joined me in laughter except for Asuma who run towards Kurenai and asked if she's alright and nervously comforting her. A couple seconds later she and Asuma calmed down and sat around the sofa with us.

"Now that everything's cleared up. Let's get to the point." Hiruzen looks at Kakashi, Guy and Kurenai and turned serious. "The matter of Tenshin-sama's visit to Konoha is a top-secret matter. Under no circumstance should this information be known to anyone. Am I understood?"

"Hai!" The three affirmed loudly as they stood in attention.

"Good. You're all dismissed." The three Jonin said their goodbye to me as they exited the room. Wait, if I remember correctly Kakashi is an Anbu at this time, right?

"See you later Kurenai!" Asuma seemed to have gained energy as he called out to Kurenai with vigor. Kurenai looked back and gave him a light nod while smiling before closing the door.

"Oh? Is the pretty Onee-san Asuma's girlfriend?" I asked while teasingly asking Asuma.

"W-well…Hahaha the weather is nice today isn't it Otou-san?" Asuma seemed to have slipped his tongue as he realized he called Hiruzen informally not his official title as he awkwardly scratches his head.

"Hmm, indeed it is. It's nice to have you back, Asuma." Hiruzen looked a bit shocked at first but then his eyes softened as he replied back sounding quite pleased. I was glad that the parent child could narrow their distance this simply and early even just for a bit.

"Say… When will you fix this seal so I can start learning more jutsu Jiji? I can call you that, right?" I questioned Hiruzen that last part in a hopeful tone.

"Of course, Tenshin-sama." Hiruzen patted my head while laughing. "As for your seal, let's do it tomorrow after you take a rest, okay?"

"Cool!" I can't wait for tomorrow to finally arrive.
