Chapter 38 - Disciple (1/2)

”Eeehh!?” Ryota shouted with wide eyes as he turned to stare at both the Hokage and Yuki.

”This...” Even Yuki was surprised when the Hokage gave the news, ”Hokage-sama, I believe I'm not suitable for this position!” Yuki refused as the Hokage sighed and nodded his head solemnly as his eyes dimmed.

”Who do you recommend??” The hokage asked with pleading eyes that seemingly shone with hope.

Yuki gave a thinking pose and quickly answered ”Namikaze Minato!”, Hiruzen nodded with a smile and let them leave.

After a while in the hokage's office...

”Minato... yes! I can finally escape this hellhole! He even wants to become hokage! Hahaha!!” Hiruzen's mad ranting was overheard by the anbu who was on guard duty.

”...” the anbu looked at each other and sighed, The third was getting old...

Yuki reached his home after parting with Ryota who still needed to rest, He knocked on the door thrice after checking for Mikoto who was luckily inside the house.

*click* the doorknob turned as the door moved backward.

”I'm home!” Yuki said with a bright smile and widened his arms to hug Mikoto. Tears gathered in her eyes as she smiled at him and walked out, Yuki hugged her tightly as she cried in his embrace.

He then took Mikoto to the hallroom and wanted to enjoy some time with his wife, ”What happened!?” Mikoto asked worriedly as she touched his arm. Yuki smiled wryly and replied ”It was a trap, He took half of my arm!”.

Mikoto looked at him with shock ”Are you going to stop being a ninja?!” She asked as Yuki shook his head with a laugh and pat her head.

”Ofcourse not! I still one hand for the signs!” Yuki said with a hint of determination as Mikoto sighed and pecked his cheek.

He hugged her with his remaining hand and enjoyed her warmth, he slowly started falling asleep and fell, leaning on her shoulder as she smiled at him gently and ruffled his black hair.

The war has calmed down to a considerable level where the shinobi of each country could go back home more regularly, the reason being Kumo's unconditional surrender to Konoha and Iwa, A major player in this game of war...

Yuki walked alongside Mikoto who wanted to buy some groceries, after they had finished their shopping, the two of them put everything back to their place and went straight to the Hokage building.

”Yuki, what are you doing here?” The Hokage asked curiously as Yuki smiled and answered ”I would like to have a genin team of my own!”.

Mikoto looked at him in shock while Hiruzen nodded with a smile and brought out some papers from his drawer.

He put them on display for Yuki to choose from the many genin that either graduated or were teacher-less.

He went through them carefully, searching for the boy who he had seen during ome of the many battles in the Land of Grass. ”Not him, not him either” he mumbled and put the papers back to Hiruzen's desk.

”Ah! Found you!” He said with a gasp and nodded his head after reading his information.

”Who is it?” Hiruzen asked curiously as Yuki handed the paper over to him, Hiruzen was shocked and said ”Are you sure it's him?” He asked Yuki who nodded resolutely.
