Hoshi was summoned to the Saito Clan Head house. In the letter it wrote that Hoshi’s attendance was mandatory. It explained a change of the head and all associated needed to be there to see. As he approached the clan, more and familiar hyuugas arrived the same time. They all bowed with their foreheads to the ground at Hoshi. Even the children did so, and Hoshi was perplexed. The young teenager was experiencing some drastic changes in life. His signing up for the world martial arts tourney made him famous overnight.
Hoshi entered the clan sliding the door open. He kicked off his ninja sandals and proceeded with the customary greeting. As Hoshi was mid way through he noticed everyone bowing to him. Akita Saito’s brother was the only one not bowing, but walking up to him with a smile. Hoshi bowed at the sight of their leader but he was greeted with a stiff hand gesturing nin to rise and so he did.
“My Time has come, the clan will look for a new leader with youthful vigor. Who better than you? A young man with much growing room. You will become wise in the ways of delegation and politics I’m sure. Trust your officials, they are here to guide you. Always keep tradition, and continue to unfold the mystery of our eyes to our young ones.”
He patted Hoshi on the shoulder and cupped his cheek. Hoshi was astonished, mouth agate and stammering. He looked around to everyone, even the elders seemed adamant about this decision. He looked down at himself.
”But, I... I can’t be, I don’t know anything about lead-“
He was cut short and interrupted as the latter spoke.
“You will do just fine. Just be yourself, under your fist our clan will be strong in mind and body. “
Hoshi nodded, there was no point in arguing. He bowed once more, tears filling up in his young eyes.
”Yes sir! Yes sir!”
The man chuckled and left calmly leaving the clan behind and it’s residents with a wave and a goodbye.
“Alas, I can finally retire and enjoy my old age.”
And the man left, while the clan rose to their feet and began clapping and cheering. The elders greeted the boy and adorned him linens of hierarchy.
