Chapter 28 - Chapter 30 (1/2)
Dragon and his captains were following the cloaked man through the village and everyone had already guessed which building they were going to. It wasn't that hard to figure out.
They arrived outside the building and while still following the man they made their way onto the second floor of the building. The man knocked on one of the doors on the second floor and a voice came soon after, telling them to enter.
”I have brought them, Lord Hokage.” The man said while kneeling down. Dragon and his captains showed no emotions while the man kneeled down in front of the Hokage.
”Thank you. You can return.” The Hokage said and the cloaked man nodded and disappeared from the room entirely.
”Welcome to the hidden leaf village. My name is Hiruzen Sarutobi and I am the third Hokage.” He said while scanning Dragon and the rest of his company with cautious eyes.
”Thank you. My name is Portgas D Dragon and these are my students. Rize, Alucard, Sebastien and Ryu.” Dragon introduced his company and Hiruzen showed a slight shocked expression because of the unusual names that some of them possessed.
”May i ask what your intentions are here in the village?” Hiruzen could feel that this Dragon character was powerful so that's why he sent an Anbu to invite him the moment he felt them approach the village gates.
”Of course. I was looking for a place to settle down and this village has a great and powerful reputation.” Dragon looked into Hiruzen's eyes and said with confidence.
”What is it that you do, Mr Dragon? If i may.” Someone with this amount of obvious strength must have long background of fighting and Hiruzen was of course always looking for additions to the village military force. He had to play this right and then maybe he could get some great benefits from this group of people.
”I am a martial arts teacher and I was actually looking to set up shop inside your village, Lord Hokage.” Dragon decided to play it safe and show the proper respect towards the village head. He didn't want unnecessary complications.
”The village would gladly welcome you, Mr Dragon. If you want to set up a school for your martial arts, certain papers have to be filled out.” Hiruzen liked the direction of this conversation. Even if they didn't join their military force, they would obviously still defend their new home and that was good enough for now.
”Of course,” Dragon said and spoke with respect just so that the album's that was watching them wouldn't try anything under the pretence that he was being disrespectful. He wanted a quiet start here in the village.
