…
The wooden door slammed shut with a loud sound.
"So, this door still is sturdy. I thought it would be on the brink of getting destroyed if we go by the number of times it's slammed according to the rumors," Kakashi chuckled while looking around the office.
His gaze landed on the Fourth Hokage's portrait, which made him remember the purpose of why he became the Hokage.
He looked around, and lightning could be seen releasing from him meanwhile.
'So, nobody spying on me... Still, just to be sure, let's check each nook and cranny,' Kakashi grinned behind his mask and silently got on the upper floor of the Hokage Office.
He straight-up released lightning throughout the entire area, and his grin widened when he felt that his lightning hit a target.
Due to the suddenness of Kakashi releasing lightning in all directions, he was stunned and paralyzed for a moment.
That was enough time for Kakashi to reach there as a loud explosion could be heard throughout the tower.
Before the guy could suicide, he got knocked out by the Fifth Hokage.
'Hehe, what a big catch. Let's deliver this to Yukio who will use this to suppress Danzo for the next few years,' Kakashi instantly created a shadow clone which took the guy and left with a body flicker.
Kakashi again released lightning, but this time throughout the office. Just to make sure that nobody else is hiding, he even let the lightning flow through the entire upper portion of the terrace.
As of now, no ANBUs have been assigned to him as Kakashi has declined personal guards for now. He couldn't just let anybody guard him; ninjas by nature are paranoid.
So, people who guarded the Third Hokage couldn't guard Kakashi, due to trust issues of the latter.
This was common among ninjas and didn't really cause any complications as Kakashi was in his prime and didn't really need anybody to protect him. He won't be physically present in the office anyway, but that's not for anybody to know.
Anyway, the Third Hokage's guards have two options: they could either go back to ANBU and lead some team or division or retire from ANBU and join the Third Hokage's current guards or something.
It was not a headache for Kakashi to know, not like he cared.
He withdrew his lightning and, seeing that no suspicious seals or people were there, he went to one corner of the office and weaved some hand seals.
In the next instant, inks of text spread through the ground, and Kakashi disappeared from the place.
He appeared in a cellar-like space which lightened up as he entered it.
This was the most secretive location of the whole Konoha, and only the current Hokage knew about its location.
It's run by a seal system that Shodaime's wife Mito Uzumaki created, which made the location of this whole place change every second.
Not only that, the seals required for it change with time and are given by a seal-inscribed device which only a Hokage can have. Also, once it's given to a new user, it can't be used by any of the previous users, and the transfer of ownership has to be mutual.
Also, that also has some restrictions, preventing jutsus like Edo Tensei from somehow breaking into this location.
This was a very important location and could not be broken at any cost, as otherwise, Konoha would be in grave danger. The amount of forbidden techniques this place holds is more than a few times the number of forbidden techniques of all villages combined together.
Even Danzo doesn't know the existence of this place.
Tobirama had made sure that only Hokage/Hiruzen knew about this place.
'Now this is some extravagant place, despite being created during the time of Shodaime,' Kakashi felt that he had entered the house of Yukio's by the sheer number of seals present and their mundane applications.
Kakashi went to one corner and saw a hologram on the wall. 'Damn, these were from that long ago? Mito Uzumaki really lives up to her title of beyond grandmaster level.'
Kakashi then got a scroll in his hand and opened it up.
He scanned through it and closed the scroll.
He then exited the place and reappeared in his office.
He looked at the dozen of papers that were not present before.
He sweatdropped at that and looked at his palm.
'Should I burn the papers or not?' Kakashi thought about the consequences of burning the paper.
The blame would go to the person who is responsible for delivering the documents.
'I need to see who is responsible for that,' Kakashi decided to not take this decision now.
So, he left the office through the window.
Maybe he will change the window present here to a door.
Now that he is a Hokage, he has immediate power to make changes.
This made him pause in track.
He went to the receptionist's office on the bottom floor, and the people around stood up when they saw him.
He waved at them and then told the receptionist to create a door where his window was.
The receptionist had already heard a lot of youngsters entering from the window during the Third Hokage's reign, so she thought that Kakashi wanted to prevent such happenings.
Little did she know that only three youngsters did that, and one of them was standing in front of her.
Well, ignorance is bliss.
With that, Kakashi strolled around the village without his Hokage attire, just normal clothes that he used to wear before.
However, this time, when people saw him, they paused and looked at him in admiration.
The busy streets were made clear for him.
Kakashi cringed behind his mask and immediately body flickered away from the place.
He appeared in front of a familiar house and rang the doorbell.
"Oh, Nii-chan, what's up? How is being Hokage so far?" Naruto asked while bouncing at the door.
"It had only been a few hours since I became one. Ask me this question after one week and once again after a month and a year respectively. I will be able to give you an accurate answer to this question," Kakashi ruffled Naruto's head.
"Fine, I will remember that," Naruto said while inviting him in.
"Where are your caretakers?"
"Hmm, Nee-chan went to training, and Nii-chan should have been in his room last time I checked," Naruto said while going back to the dining table and eating a very big bowl of ramen.
"Do you want some ramen?" Naruto asked while gesturing at the kitchen counter which could create ramen automatically.
"I will pass, maybe later." With that, Kakashi went upstairs and knocked on Yukio's door.
The door opened automatically, and Yukio could be seen examining a scroll.
"Oh, you are already here. That was fast," Yukio commented.
Kakashi entered the room and closed the door. "Well, I have got my priorities straight," He said while unreeving his Sharingan and putting Yukio in a genjutsu.
The latter didn't break out of it despite knowing that he was in genjutsu.
This is how high-level ninjas exchange information secretively.
Okay, it's more in alignment with how genjutsu-specialized people exchange information, but it's applicable here too.
Kakashi dispelled the jutsu and put his headband back in front of his eye.
"That's really interesting. Luckily for you, I was delving into Yin-Yang manipulation recently, so I could somewhat understand some points. But learning this fully would really be fun," Yukio grinned like a child who had gotten a gift from Santa Claus.
A bad boy getting a gift from Santa.
To be honest, even Yukio couldn't get his hands on this jutsu due to the nature of the place it was stored in. He had recently tried to find all the archives and all that but wasn't able to find the location of the scroll even after checking the Hokage office.
Well, he had noticed the presence of a seal which is going somewhere, but there are too many seals safeguarding it to make it accessible.
If he breaks one seal, it would result in the whole thing being destroyed, which he didn't want to try.
Even if those seals were present, it was highly unlikely for him to break this code, as this seal system created by Mito was so good that she herself wasn't able to crack it/hack it.
So, it was one of her best creations.
"Well, I would be expecting good news then," Kakashi shrugged and left the house.
