Disappointment unintentionally marked Ieyasu's air hearing that he wasn't able to look into Ryogin's file and learn more from it. He noticed quickly, however, and did his best to wipe it from his face while Ikeru went ahead and began to take a look on Konoha. Ieyasu slowly followed behind and listened to what the Hokage had to say regarding the village. Strangely, he felt chills run down his spine as he began to realize that in some way their wills seemed to align. Ieyasu already wanted to protect the village, its people or rather what would one day be his true family.

Then came the last declaration from Ikeru, stating that Ieyasu would be joining the Anbu whenever the Chūnin Exams were to come around. Even though he planned on doing it eventually, he never did think of himself as powerful to really be considered even considerable for the elite forces' of Konoha. His eyes lit up with an earnest happiness from this. This and the combined feeling of being able to somewhat understand Ikeru's power just from a simple touch... it was humbling to say the least.

He bowed and bent his knee to the Hokage to hear the request he had in turn for being allowed within the Anbu.

After Ikeru finished, Ieyasu spoke with the utmost sincerity, "I don't... I don't think I'm worth this much. I'm humbled that you even considered this. I will do my best to become the strongest in the village, and try to make more friends so I can really appreciate this village and its land's. I want to protect everyone from people like Gyugii, so no one dies like they did in Suna. Is there anything else I can help with the village before the Exams?"

Ieyasu truly had not been expecting any of this, and truly did not feel as though he was ready for it yet. But if the Hokage thought it so, then he could not do anything other than accept. He had much to learn still, and would try to do so with the time he had in between his eventual promotion. He felt like there was more to do though with the time he had, something to help prove his personal worth that he could carry out in this time as well.
