A momentary absence

Kantamaru walked to the hokages door and knocked. "Lord Hokage,I have a personal request to make.May I come in?" he said leaning towards the door to better hear the hokage.He was in his Jounin outfit and his hands shoved deep into his pockets and his sleek black hair pulled back.

"Yes..come in..."Hashi said as he heard a familiar voice."Hmm....Kantamaru..."Hashi thought for a few moments as he remembered the mission from earlier he had gave him and Credo.He put down alll his paper work and his pencil.

"Lord Hokage,I have taken on an apprentice,Daisuke Nara,and have planned to take him out of the village and train him as my succesor of the Nara clan for when the time comes." he said as he came in and bowed respectfully. "I can tell you were I am heading right now." he said assuming the Hokage would like to know.

Hashi heard the Kantamaru speak.As he spoke he corssed his hands together.He trusted the man real well, almost like a son."Yes...you can take him...i need to know where you guys will be heading also..if you run into any trouble or if you plan on heading somewhere else..please tell me.."Hashi said as he was looking a little towards the ground.He then moved his head upwards and waited ofr a response from the ANBU.

Kantamaru looked the Hokage in the eye. "Right now Im heading to Kirigakure to train him in the use of water jutsu.I have a person in mind to act as Leader of the ANBU Black Ops. while Im gone.I would like Ave Uchiha (being he is my only active ANBU) to act as ANBU leader until I return,an owl will arrive at the moment of trouble or a change of course." he said pulling his hands out of his pockets. "And if im needed send a messanger I will return in a moment." he said bowing. "Oh and by the way,I will keep my eyes and ears open for information regarding Akatsuki and missing ninja movements."

((It should be like a 1 yr timeskip when I get back))

"Hmm...Kirigakure..."Hashi thought as he heard his words.Hashi then got very seurious tone "Be careful...Akatsuki is everywhere..and so are Missing Nin...hes still a kid..remember..don't overwork him.."Hashi said to him."Ave Uchiha...well really...i'd recommend Sakumo Uchiha..he can problably go toe to toe with you and he is problably the best choice of leader..."Hashi said to him.He then, out of his drawer, pulled out a small envelope."This contains money for you guys...also..."Hashi said as he pulled out a tiny book."A bingo book of Akatsuki and Missing Nin"Hashi said."Take care of Daisuke and yourself"Hashi said as he stood up and bowed to him.

Kantamaru took the money and the Bingo book. "Thank you Hashi,freind its verry generous of you.And I feel Sakumo would be good too,if you wish to use him,use him.I'll be back in a year freind.Remeber the second something big goes down call for me." he said bowing to the Hokage.He opened one of the scroll pouches on his flack jacket and removed a small scroll. " This is my Owl,If im needed summon him and he will naturally find me." he said handing him the scroll. "Now I must be leaving,I have a feeling that this trip to Kiri will be interesting for Daisuke."

"Hmm..yes yes.."Hashi said to him with a smile."Have fun my friend!"Hashi said as he placed the scroll in his kunai pouch
