“Hmm, I will take your advice. Gardoc shared the same philosophy with me but I was foolishly hoping things weren’t as dire as they were yet. We’ll slowly have to start dropping pretenses in order to secure ourselves as long as possible, I shall see to it being done. It is time for the Phoenix guard to answer the call and protect the leader of the Leaf.”.

Some moments later the Hokage chuckled to Keldran’s remark about passing off some Ryo and nodded to the plans that this young man had in store for his clan and company.

The handshake was firm, as expected, and in spirit Godric would place his hand on top of the locked hands of the Hokage and Keldran. “I believe in you. No son of mine will ever back down. The will of fire burns strongest in you, Keldran. I saw the chakra of the red dragon around you. Those things are no coincidence. I am currently the strongest fire using Shinobi in the known shinobi world but you, you ae the one who can surpass me. If we both make it out of all this alive, I will train you myself in order to help you take your fire release to a whole new level after which you may ultimately inherit my Katana. Furthermore, as of now you are the sole inheritor of the Phoenix Blade in the event of my passing. Know that there are many secrets hidden within this sword many of which I have yet to find out for the Phoenix is a cunning and enigmatic creature.”

Ikeru saw the youth of with a nod of the head, slightly frowning with worry while pride showed in his eyes. That red chakra burned nowhere as strong as the will of fire that blaze around that boy’s heard; Ikeru thought. “It is that kind of fire that the prophecies must speak of, don’t you think so Hana?”.

Hana walked in with a blush on her face and looked down at the floor while coming over to clean the office. “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, I-I just.”

Ikeru replied while stoically going through a pile of papers. “Don’t apologize, I know that you like him.”

Hana smiled and nodded. “Mhm.” Before turning around to leave the room with all of the dirty plates. For a moment stopping in the door opening as she asked. “you wouldn’t send me away, right? When the Phoenix guard comes?”.

The hokage shook his head and answered with a slightly irritated tone as he was trying to get back to work. “Ofcourse not. You can stay. I trust you.”. At which Hana turned around and smiled before leaving.

Ikeru said to himself. “That silly girl… at least there are still some innocent people.”.
