Sneakily sneaking into Mom's office (Uchiha Asuka)

[Uchiha Akari]

There was something about the Hokage mansion that always succeeded in amazing the little Uchiha lass. Perhaps it was courtesy of the fact that it was the place where the greatest and most important shinobi of the village dwelled, but just as amazing was the fact that among them was her very own 'Mama'. Yes indeed, the little Akari her adoptive mother had her hard work recognized by her peers and at long last she had received the very seat an amazing mom like her deserved. Of course with that came a fair share of difficulties and responsibilities. Now that Asuka was the leader of the village it meant the future and prosperity of the village was her responsibility, the people of Konoha were relying on her!

However, Akari knew that her mother was not fighting this battle all by herself: No, she was aided by trustworthy friends and allies, and surely the powerful Sennin of the village would aid her as well right? But that didn't mean they could do the things Akari could! Indeed, there were some things only the little red-haired lass could do. Humming happily as she marched up to the Hokage mansion carrying a basket that had its contents concealed by a small picnic blanket, the guards who recognized the child approached the girl, one of them inquiring with a smile. "What do you have there Akari-chan?" The guard inquired, to which Akari raised the basket lightly, bringing one hand to her mouth as she pressed a finger before her lips. "Shh, I'm on a secret mission for Mama~ I made some delicious sandwiches for her~" The guard couldn't help but stiffle a soft laugh at those words. "Hokage-sama is currently out on a brief meeting, but she should be back soon, why don't you go ahead and wait for her in her office? I'm sure she will appreciate the surprise."

A great idea! Akari nodded her head firmly as she thanked the guard for the idea and walked inside the office. As usual the staircases did no poor job at testing the girl's resolve as she climbed one after another, passing rooms and offices of other people working for the Hokage and the village when finally she arrived at her destination: The Hokage's very own office.

Opening the door on the barest of openings the girl peeked inside and whispered softly. "Sorry for the intrusion~" And then sneaked her way inside, holding the picnic basket close to her chest. After she reached the desk where her mother was often seated for her work the girl placed the basket on top of it, carefully spreading the blanket onto the table and proceeded to do her utmost to decorate the plate she brought along with the various little treats she brought along. Certainly, it was not a star chef's cuisine, but the sheer affection displayed in the dishes was evident, even a small bottle of apple juice, Akari's favorite drink was left among the sandwiches and a little note that read: "Ganbatte Asuka-mama!" And satisfied with the surprise she had prepared the child proceeded to climb onto the chair, waiting to hear the sound of footsteps so she could go and hide but...

zzz...

After several minutes the girl had already dozed off into a peaceful slumber!

"No. A warrant will just bring us more casualties." Asuka slammed the table in frustration, looking around she saw everything from ANBU to Jounins, teachers and scientists, doctors and researchers. Everyone here for the simple reason to plan, direct and execute a plan following the attacks on the village.

"Hokage-sama. We will be seen as weak for letting someone like this roam free. We have to find him and either arrest him or kill him. That way everything will stop." One of the jounins stated frustrating her even more. "This concerns the safety of the villagers." Looking around the table, she could see some nodding, some looking thoughtful. She sighed, sitting back down. In the end it was her decision to make. But they at least deserved an explanation.

"Allright, let's antagonize this fucker. Throw every able Shinobi at him and just end his existence." She said with a slight smile. "Just do a complete search through every building, door, until we find him and BOOM... problem sorted."

The jounin nodded in agreement. "Immediately Hokage-sama. I'll send the or-" His words were cut short as he was hit on the head with a small spoon from one of the researchers.

"She's bein sarcastic you Buffon." He shook his head in disgust as he lowered his hand, promptly awarding himself with a glare from the Jounin.

Asuka gave a slight smile. "Thank you. No. We will wait. This is not an invasion, this is not random attacks and you want me to send people to their deaths? Just to, hopefully, stop this. This guy isn't going quietly, so how many Shinobi will die before his stopped? How much damage will be enough? How many civilian casualties do you consider acceptable. To me, none." She stood up. "Like I said before, look for him but do not engage him. Contact either a Sennin or me directly if his spotted. WE will take care of it. Is. That. Clear?"

Everyone around the room nodded. Asuka sighed as she simply walked out of the room. God, when will she able to get done with the old way of thinking. Is violence really the only answer to this? Did violence really solve everything? She hated that. Hence her policy. She just wanted for an eternal peace but apparently she would have to do this herself. Well, a chat wouldn't hurt... would it?

Walking through the halls of the buildings she just kept thinking about the current situation. She sighed as she stood in front of her office. Well, time for more work. All that went away as soon as she opened the door, not only did she see quite the dinner, fancy decorated. Her smile grew even wider once she saw who was occupying her chair. Well, this certainly was going to be quite the event. Slowly walking forward she walked behind her desk. Kissing her daughter on the head, flowed her hand through her head as she giggled. Was she lucky. Giving a glance to the food on the table, shee looked back to her child and slowly poked her cheek a few times. "The chair is too comfy."
