As the Leaves Blow

The sound of water filled the room of the space that the Leaf's Shadow stood in. He had been washing his face for sometime getting used to the drastic changes to himself and his form. Where he had milky ivory skin, he now stood with a very smooth almost chocolatey complexion. Long flowing locks of black were now in place instead of the perfect mix of black and white. From one point he had amber but now a cool, glowing red took over his orbs. The splashing of water could still be heard as he splashed his face once more as the sharp features of his face continued to catch him off-guard. He looked more defined...older even if mind had still be catching up with his body. He was smarter than his age gave and his mindset well above the age of his peers, but many still thought of him an early twenties male. Resting the white towel onto his form he would continue to look over his body. His Yuumei had explained that the red markings on his body that flowed as if they were tattoos were a great honor among the Shinkou. They denoted him as complete, one with the power of Meiton and Yuumei all the same. Almost an Elder but not quite yet. A small smile appeared upon his face as he ran a finger along some of them and then remembered what he needed to do. Before those of which he called would arrive, he would take in a deep breath and release a temporary splurge of Meiton to change his form into that of his own secret technique, Matoi. As he formed handseals he would place a finger onto his right arm and begin to trace out a formula that would place a seal unto his form. With the first seal done, he would do the same on his right palm and his left palm as well.

With the placement of seals complete, the yellow and black aura would subside and a small sigh would escape his lips. At any point his deputy would be arriving to the office and probably another should they accept the call, but for the moment they would speak on the current affairs of the world and village...and above all what they should do now. Putting on the Hokage mantle he would go to sit at the desk and wait for those who were summoned, putting a pot of tea on as well as some food as a just in case.

Receiving news his presence had been requested Goto would be headed towards the Hokage Chambers. "I'd say we did a pretty good job of holding down the fort, wouldn't you agree?" the silver haired spoke to Fenrir, his wolf summon who'd be walking next to him. "Don't act like you're suddenly all that, kid" the animal said in response to the deputy's reference to being in charge of the village while the Hokage was away. Already expecting that kind of answer from his grumpy companion a smile started to form on Goto's face as he continued making his way to the office where he'd meet with Ishimaru.

Once they arrived at the Chambers he'd knock three times, waiting for an answer. Assuming he could enter, Goto would open the door and set foot inside the office. "Well, how does it feel to be back home?" the Senju asked his friend about finally returning to Konohagakure. He'd grab a seat and sit down, noticing the grumpy look on Fenrir's face. "What's this? Damn you Hokage brat, I told you I don't like tea". That being said the wolf would lay down next to Goto, taking a nap while the two of them discussed things. "So, are we waiting on someone else or are we good to go?". In case they were expecting someone else he'd simply wait for them to arrive.

Mid thread claim for FTG All words going toward it.

Their conversation had ended before it could even fully begin, urgent village affairs requiring both Ishimaru and Goto's attention, leaving the current topic open to be discussed some other time. "About time, I was getting sick of this damn team anyway" Fenrir mumbled with a grumpy look on his face, the Cedar wolf making its way out of the Hokage Chambers. He didn't say anything at the time but Goto couldn't help but feel as if his friend was preparing for something, almost as if he was readying himself for what's to come. "I'll pass by the gates, make sure to check that nothing is amiss" the silver haired referred to last time.
