THE Hokage Mansion was more impressive inside than it appeared outside and was also a lot bigger than expected.
With eyes wide and mouth open, Tobikuma looked in every direction at once, his eyes shifting rapidly to take in every detail. For all of his life, the boy had seen the domed structure in the distance from the orphanage, but never in that time had he actually expected to visit. Now though, walking through the tall hallways, vast expanses, and expensive but tasteful decor, the Genin was a little overwhelmed. Not to mention the fact he had been told of his consideration as a student of the Hokage - the very leader of Konoha - which was absolutely amazing. Tobikuma had thought himself a nobody young shinobi, who was simply chasing pets and cleaning paths, yet somehow attention had been gained and doors of opportunity had been opened.
And when the Hokage opens that door, you run through, Tobikuma thought to himself, blinking as he passed some tough looking members of the Hokage Guard. Wow, they look impressive.
Taking several flights of stairs, moving at a quick but respectful pace, Tobikuma reached a desk with a receptionist behind it. After a brief introduction, the Genin was asked to sit to one side of the small outer room, on a nearby bench. He did. And then he waited. For what seemed like a lifetime, anxiously waiting for his summons to see the head honcho of the Hidden Leaf, Tobikuma began tapping his foot. He was energetic and rarely was able to stay still, not to mention the excitement was almost too much for him to contain. A lot had happened following his graduation - he had met some powerful shinobi, been added to a squad under an awesome Jounin, been offered a chance to learn more about medical jutsu and methods, and was about to speak with the Hokage.
"This. Is. Awesome." Tobikuma muttered to himself, as his foot continued to tap rapidly. The receptionist glanced over, eyebrow raised. "Oh, sorry, don't mind me."
For another little while the boy waited, knowing the Hokage was an important person and had lots of obligations. And then finally, the receptionist called the Genin over, and motioned to the steps that led up to the Hokage's personal area. Tobikuma let out a slow exhale, pushing the nervous energy from his body, as he ascended the steps. He reached another door and reached out to knock gently - and only following a reply within to say to enter, did the boy push open the door and step inside...
Don't do or say anything stupid, Tobikuma.
