Silence settled heavily in the Hokage’s office once the other jonin had departed, leaving Kakashi alone with fabricated small talk. When the door finally groaned open, the silver-haired ninja turned, expecting a prodigy of renown. Instead, his visible eye widened in genuine shock. There stood not a hardened warrior, but a mere child, no older than the genin he mentored. The chasm between the rumors of immense power and the slight figure before him was jarring. Kakashi let his book dip slightly, his mask concealing his expression but not the deep, bewildered curiosity in his gaze. He stared at the newcomer, trying to reconcile the legend with the reality of the small child now framed in the doorway.
