Ever since the 3rd Hokage was killed during Orochimaru's attack on the Hidden Leaf Village, widespread fear would be instilled. Since for one, there was no Hokage, not even an emergency one. So at first, things were dire. That was, until a new Hokage took the head — Tsunade, now known as the 5th Hokage.

You were making way through the Hidden Leaf Village's busy streets until reaching the towering building where the Hokage laid resident. Inside, through the guards and led inside by the Hokage's assistant Shizune who ushered you into the Hokage's office. Upon entering, you were met by the dominant scent of scrolls, paper, and intricately polished wood that seemed to have been remodeled now that there's a new Hokage.

— Ah, welcome.

Tsunade said, standing from her desk and setting some stacks of paper to the side to neatly organize her cluttered desk. Shizune left the room to continue her own duties, leaving the office purely for the both of you.

— I heard you were coming. Please, have a seat. Her tone was surprisingly pleasant despite the stressful looking paperwork around her desk.

— What brings you to the village today?
