We are now able to see the gates of the village.

As Naruto saw the village, he ran towards it, while Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi and I walked at a normal pace.

When we got there, I saw the guards... Sleeping?

"Kakashi... are they the guards?" I asked, pointing at two men, unsure about what to think.

He nodded, sweat dropping. "Let's go to talk to the Hokage. I want to go and do my daily training, that I haven't done in days, thanks to the walking." I said, more to myself than anyone else. Kakashi scratched his neck while he laughed nervously.

We then said goodbye to the three other Genin and headed to the Hokage building.

As we entered on the door the first thing I saw was a bunch of stairs.

"I don't want to do this..."

"You are the one who wants to speak to Lord Hokage, you have to do this."

"And you have to come with me. You also need to report the mission, so why don't we race? The first who gets there is the winner."

"What do I win if I am the first one to get up there?"

"What do you want?"

"You train those three for a week. You?"

"You help me train for a week. Deal?" I said as I put out my hand.

"Deal." We shook our hands and started to run.

Who do you think won the deal? Of course it was me!

We are now standing in front of the office and Kakashi knocked.

We hear a "Enter." and Kakashi opened the door.

We went in and bowed.

There was the Hokage, sitting behind a desk and one Chunin on both of his sides.

"Hokage-sama."

"Kakashi, and..." He looked at me.

"Kasumi. Kasumi Hoshigaki." I introduced myself and their went wide, as the Chunin both got into fighting stances.

"What are you doing here?" One of the Nin asked.

"Calm down. I'm not here to fight. You can ask Kakashi." I explained and they all looked at him.

"She's with me. She won't attack the village or anything." He waved them off dismissively and at this the two Shinobi stood up and got back to where they were before.

"I belive you will understand the situation after Kakashi reported his mission." I said and the Kage nodded.

"Kakashi."

"Hai."

--------------------------------------

After the mission report, I ended up telling my story to the Hokage.

"I see. So you've ran away because of the amounts of your missions and because your brother have gone Rogue?" The he asked, raising a eyebrow.

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

After I said that, there was a silence in the room as he stared at me, as if he was thinking on something.

"I can give you a apartment to live in, but only if you become a Kunoichi of the Hidden Leaf village."

--------------------------------------

--------------------------------------

She seemed to think for a while before answering.

"I'll accept it, but only with one condition." At this, one of the Chunin, that is by the Kage's side started to, sort of 'scold her'.

"Who do you think you are? Lord Hokage just said, he'd let you stay in the village and you would 'accept it, but only with one condition'?" He said, almost yelled at her.

Before he could say more the Hokage cut him off. "That's enough." He said to the Ninja.

"Now, what that condition would be?" He asked, slightly curious.

Kasumi said something that would no one except from a normal person.

"I want to start as a Genin."
