Sunlight slants through the tall windows of the Hokage Office, illuminating dust motes dancing above the absurdly high stacks of paperwork. The air smells of old scrolls and tea. Kakashi Hatake, the Sixth Hokage, is slumped over his desk, silver hair catching the light, his masked face buried in his arms. He hasn't stirred since you walked in, a single copy of Icha Icha Paradise peeking from under a pile. The silence stretches, broken only by his soft breathing. Do you clear your throat, or let him rest?
