It was finally time and he had finally made up his mind on what he wanted to do and he knew that only one man could grant his wish as he waited outside patiently by the doors to the Raikage's office as he had been sent a letter and it did not matter how long he had to wait as long as he had his chance. He needed a way to begin anew, he needed a fresh start and a fresh new look to take on the world as he did not want to be some flashy hot shot or a major show off, he did not want to become some mascot for the village and would rather be a regular shinobi doing regular jobs while doing the occasional elite mission without anyone expecting too much from him. He also had another goal that he had nearly forgotten but could not let go of, he could not reach his goal if they all knew about him and it was for this reason he had no choice but to ask him. He would meet with the great Sanosuke not knowing how to deal with the situation of being rejected he came with his resolve and knew he would have to give it everything he had, not to convince the Raikage but to convince himself that he has chosen the right path.

If he could say it to the most powerful man in the world then he could not deny it himself, he had to eliminate whatever doubt he had left and he no longer wished to hold onto his past as the chuunin exams had left a sour taste in his mouth of which many would not understand.

"Raikage-sama, a shinobi from your village wishes to see you."

The intercom buzzed loudly to awaken the transformed cat that was the Raikage out of his slumber. His groggy state left him disorientated as the Raikage cap was still on the transformed man's head. It slipped from side to side with each shake of the head of the black cat. Sanosuke had been working on paperwork, and by paperwork he was giving his stamp of approval for many plans and projects his village was building up from the ground up. One of those featured new divisions being built to thus strengthen the core of his village. A few research budget adjustments just needed his stamp of approval and it was set. As a man, he would need to use his hand to grab a stamper, ink it, and finally press it down on the paper just to start the process all over again. As a cat, all he would do is ink his paw print and just slap all the papers that came his way.

With this process it made his workload that much easier, however it was still a daunting task as he had barely put a dent in the paperwork he had left to do. So after stamping his 1,000th proposal that he and the council agreed to, the Raikage believed he earned himself a short cat nap. That was when the intercom buzzed...only ten minutes after he closed his eyes. The idea of a cat nap was slowly alluding people as the hours of sleep that is considered a "cat nap" was getting cut down by each deviation.

With a yawn, Sanosuke dried his ink stained paws before pressing his own intercom. [b]"Yes, send him in Aelita he yawned through intercom to give his secretary the okay for letting the ninja in to see him. Sanosuke began to sort his desk somewhat with his ninjutsu chakra mastery by having the papers levitate into proper spots so that his guest wouldn't walk in to see a rather untidy office of the Raikage. Sanosuke would keep doing this until a knock on the door was heard to indicate his visitor was here. He wondered what this shinobi of his wanted to meet about...

The boy was patiently waiting until the secretary came to collect him for his meeting with the strongest of their village. The small boy who was known as Lane Elin or Elin of the Lane it was not much but he had to get this sorted as soon as possible, he needed to begin his life anew as he softly knocked on the door as the door was opened slowly the small boy took one small step into the office of the great Raikage Sanosuke.

He would have been lying if he did not feel nervous or at the very least there was a slight shiver that could be noticed as he stepped in slowly as the door seemed to stay half open as the boy took step after step. His heart was racing and his mind wanted to go blank from how much his nerves were getting to him, but he knew he could not let himself back down here as he stopped around five meters away from the desk of the great one as he shivered slightly before giving a respectful bow of his head as he looked down and said. "Hi, Rai...ka...ge...sa...ma" as he got really nervous as he was sweating slightly. His usually calm self was just not as calm as it used to be which was mainly due to his current status being a nuisance to him. He wanted to speak, but out of respect he waited to be given permission to raise his head and to say what he had to say. The fact that he was being so polite was a sign that this was something he considered serious and to top it all off he did not even notice there was a twig in his hair.
