Welcome to Gaia! ::

A sealed scroll placed over the table, opened, revealing a seal with the kanji of "Emergency", had begun to glow upon hearing the knock. From there on, smoke had covered the entire table, and as the smoke would clear, the Shichidaime Hokage known as Hideaki Mei, would just appear out of nowhere, sitting behind his own desk. Well, essentially, it was a Clone, and it would be quite noticeable for those who would know him well by now. How so? Even without really trying, one would be able to notice that Utaro, his pet pig, was not there with him. Utaro was always with him, wherever he went.
Nevertheless, since he was already there, as a clone; for his real self was training with the former Rokudaime Hokage - Jaice Tsumehari, he would have to just do his job.

Hearing the knock on the door, he mused, in a gentle voice, "Come in, please,"

"Uchiha?" he uttered. "Ah, yes," he added as the boy then entered his room. "Yes, yes, of course, but first, let me introduce myself. I am Hideaki Mei, and I am going to be the Hokage from now on until something better comes along, yes, that is, indeed," stated Hideaki, who was, not to mention, not a bit much older than Idate was. He knew the boy already, though. His file had just been recently sent in by the Academy, and it was the first set of papers that he had inspected not too long ago, that is, before he, the real Hideaki, himself, went out of his office to find the former Rokudaime Hokage.

"Idate, right?" he asked, though demanded no answer, but simply, he continued. "If you are asking for a mission, then I guess a simple one should do, hmm? After I give you this mission, however, I suggest - no - insist that you go into training, but oh well," said Hideaki, though, pausing for a while as he took in a purple scroll from the side of the table, and opened it. The scroll had been stretched out before him, and he read its contents very briefly. He then turned to Idate once more, and nodded.

"Alright, you are going to accomplish this mission by the end of the day. Come back here after you've finished," said Hideaki as he flashed the scroll itself to the younger Shinobi. The scroll had written characters on it... Idate was to read it clearly.

Afterwards, Hideaki continued to speak. "I'm afraid that's all we have for now,"

((Basically, what you're going to do is to post five times. Each post = 1 paragraph, which is NO LESS THAN three sentences each. Do your best!))

Knocks on the door made Hideaki realize that there was indeed a few more people to attend to. He had been so busy reading through the files, scrolls, and demands which had been sent to his office as of late, that he had forgotten about the time - a usual occurrence. "Oh!" he uttered as he would turn his attention to the door. "Come in," he then said, and the door would open, now showing that Idate Uchiha - the one who had earlier asked for a mission, had returned to the office to announce the success of his mission. One, on the other hand, was an older Shinobi of the Leaf... Axel.

Well, first thing's first - the mission.

"Good job, Idate, now, I want you to get a good rest before you move into training. Now, I'm not actually the best guy that you have for training, so, I'll just let Axel-dono over here," explained Hideaki, with reference to the red-haired Special Jounin - Axel Ryuukai. "To teach you a thing or two about a Shinobi's basic skills," he continued, then, afterwards, he turned to Axel, evidently.

"And, sorry, I'm afraid, I have not yet introduced myself," he said to the red-haired Shinobi. "My name is Hideaki Mei, and I shall be the acting Hokage from this day forth. You might be surprised, but that is understood. Clearly, I have no problem with people who would be looking down on a Shinobi such as I, who has no potential on being a powerful Shinobi," he told Axel - who would be shocked to see such a young, seemingly incompetent bag of wuss become Hokage.

"Well, anyway - that's besides the point here. I am giving you the task of training Idate Uchiha here for a while. Since he wants to become a Shinobi, I suggest that he learn the basic from a Taijutsu Master such as yourself, Axel-dono," he told Axel. "That is your assigned mission - C Class, for that matter, so, please, do your best, the both of you," he told the both of them, though, before actually going back to his work, he looked back towards Idate once more.

"Ah, yes. Idate, congratulations on finishing your first D Rank Mission. Good job," he praised the Uchiha boy. "That will be going on your record, now. So, yes, you may go now, and rest up before your training starts." he added, flashing the both of them, Axel and Idate, a warm smile. "And, Axel, before you go on to train the boy, stay here for a while. I believe that there is something that you wanted to talk to me about," he told the red-haired shinobi.

"Well," muttered the young Hideaki. "Was there something that you were going to tell me, Axel-dono?" he then asked, as he saw that the man clearly was about to say something, but then again, held it back. "Something the matter? Any form of update, maybe?" he asked once more, really, getting interested by the fact that Axel was actually restraining himself from speaking. "I don't really mind, you see. If you think that I'm a weakling, then, so be it,"

"In all honesty, I do think so, too, myself, but then again, I don't mind at all. It's similarly proportional, to me, not minding having to read all of these paperwork over my desk, you know? Such a duty gives me information, in return - information, such as me, knowing your name, and some of your most intriguing abilities," he told him.

Having said so, it can be noted that despite Hideaki's appearance, though, sensitive and what not, he was somebody who had an unrealistically sturdy mental capacity - not even breaking, despite the fact that he was faced with so many things. Quite something else, as one might say... Though, admitedly, as he was weaker than most, he was currently in training, and in a sparring session with the former Rokudaime Hokage, in the Village's own Dojo.
