A month, a whole month after was enough to be prepared for the ceremony where you would be presented as their new leader. 

It's useless, and not needed however they have their own beliefs and you need to respect it. Even if you do not have the same beliefs, it's important for them to keep them. So here you are, dressed in [Your Choice], along with [Shoes of choice]. Your hair was also fixed. In all honesty, they were not even sure what you should be wearing because you're the first female leader they'll be having.

It felt rather uncomfortable, but you'll be back into your [Clothing Choice] by the end of the day. Taking a deep breath, you straighten your back and nod at Aki and Yun, who are part of the council. 

"Are you ready?" The blind man asks as they start to move. With a simple nod, you are taken to where the ceremony will be taking place. The temple is huge and it's surprising how much the people have decorated it.

The inside of it was already filled with people, so you had to enter from the entrance which is only used when someone will be presented as a leader. There's a priest speaking to the awaiting people inside it. 

Your name is mentioned, which is time for your entrance. Yun and Aki walk at your side with accessories that will be give to you as a sign of acceptance.

Once you start walking in front of the people and towards the priest, some people begin to speak. Some of which are your friends. As your eyes scanned the crowd, you spotted all the teams of Konoha along with their Hokage and if your eyes we not receiving you, Iruka was there as well. 

Just as you were about to remove your sight from the people, the red hair of Gaara caught your attention. All of your friends were there, which made you happy. Your parents however were not present. Shaking your head, no time for being sentimental. 

You are interested to stand tall, which was explained to you that it would  show your status and power. The priest begins the speech which is a bit boring so your mind is occupied by the many things that have yet to be Accomplished.

"Now, I officially present you out suprime Leader, [Last Name], [Name]!" To finalize the ceremony, a coat which had been made specifically for you was placed on your shoulders. A roar of applause travels and bounces against each and one of the walls.

You weren't required to give any sort of speech which was rather surprising. If you had been required, you wouldn't have known what to say. Perhaps something motivational.

Each leader of the villages were required to show their respects, now that they stand in your land, it's their turn to show that they accept your presentation as a new leader. Each one of them walk forward, and with a bow, they greet you.

"Is everything alright?" Yun asks as he notices your grim face. 

"No, every is going as planned." 

Kakashi comes forward, with his only visible eye and a smile he greets. He bows down a little, just like the rest and a little hesitant walks away. 

Eventually Gaara moves forward, and does the same as Kakashi. Though, these two take longer standing in front of you than they should. 

Once done, you can only thank the heavens that you're finished. You'll like to just greet a few people before anything else.

"You look tired." Aki questions as the two males lead you back to the plaza where people will gather to celebrate with dances and food.

"I'm not very fond of this kind of celebrations." Now arriving where you'll be seating, among the other leaders, you greet them once again with a smile.

However, before you take a seat Naruto tackled you in to a hug. Others cease their actions with shock, while others are ready to attack if instructed. Embracing the blond male, you shake your head dismissed the action as any possible threat. 

"I was supposed to become a Hokage, Gaara beat me to it and now you! Believe it!" But he sports a large grin on his face.

You laugh as you pull away. "You will in due time."

The res of your friends greet you with a hug, except Neji and Shikamaru but you'll have none of that. Pulling their hands, you embraced everyone of your friends including Iruka, Kakashi, Gaara and the siblings.

"So... You're staying here then?" Lee asks disappointed.

"Yes, but hopefully not for too long." You don't want to stay too far from your parents. "How are my parents?"

They look at one another. "I showed them the message, but they said nothing." Kakashi responds.

Your heart feels lonely, but as you watch the group of friends you have to smile. They traveled for far to long to see you, how could you not be happy? "It's understandable. By the way, I wasn't able to greet you guys before but I was not allowed."

They arrived a week ago, but no one was allowed to see you. "We know, we were told." Iruka replies.

"Leader [Name], the dancers are waiting for you." Yun information and sure enough they are standing eating eagerly to show their gratitude.

"Sorry, I'm being requested." But before anything else is said, you are dragged to your seat.

You would have liked to get much more time to talk to them, but you had an obligation and you needed to attend to it. With a sigh, you watch the dancer. However, as they spot your uninterested gaze, they lose their excited spirits.

Smiling, you lean forward you pay more attention and enjoy the show. These people seem happy that they have a new leader, so why not show them the same happiness? With a smile, you watch.

For how long will you be leading them? Only time will tell.
