[Here, Luceti. Have a nice small view of the tree tops from the tree tops. Or at least, just beneath them. Just off the edge is a partial view of what is probably a large tree branch meeting a larger tree trunk

[Hinata is a bit too shy to be commenting around yet, but when she flips through the journal and sees a certain face she can't help but OMG at it. Because there isn't a child in Konohagakure that doesn't know that face.]
[Unfortunately, Minato can only half-recognize Hinata. And by half-recognize, he knows which clans she's from.
She's the second from his world, and has a similar reaction to the first. But she is not Minato's infant-son-turned-teenager, and so Minato's reaction is not the same.
He does, however, give her a kind smile, despite looking a bit shell-shocked still.]
[Minato is not used to the Hyuuga's having a--well, he can't quite find the word, softness? cuteness?--to them. But that isn't a bad thing; not a bad thing at all, actually.]
It's all right. You didn't expect me, obviously. And the fact I don't know you means that I'm from before your time.
Y-yes. I...I'm the same age as Naruto-kun... [Roughly, anyway.
Oh God, she feels so awkward and self-conscious. He's smiling at her- is that good? Or is he amused? What does that mean? slkjsf this is so nerve-wracking.]
Sixteen. [Wow, how time flies. Has he been dead that long?] ... And feel free to just call me by my name. I'm obviously not the Hokage in your time anymore.
[Yeah, like she'll listen--but it's worth a shot!]
Mmm, don't worry about it. I'm just a little worried that some here might have problems with authority figures. Probably me just being paranoid, though.
[Which is why he hasn't mentioned it yet that he's even a leader to the new faces. He wants to know more information before that. On top of it, he's not the type to brag.]
Ah-...um. I...I haven't been here long, only...only a few days. But I don't think there's...I don't think there's a set government, Hokage-sama. So...so I don't think you need to worry about it.
[...speaking of just arriving-] Oh- H-Hokage-sama...? Do...do you need any help? I can show you to the village...
F-fourth-!

Yes, that would be me.

And up there, he's talking to- oh no. Ohhhh, no no no. The Fourth is the one who sealed the Kyuubi in Naruto, he'll be angry, this is bad-]
U-um-
Um, H-Hokage-sama, N- I-I mean, that boy up there, he- [...what exactly is she supposed to say?]
Umm...

I know. I'd know that face from anywhere.

I...I see.
...I-I guess it's...none of my business. Um. I'm sorry.

[His little picture shows that his eyes are closed and he's smiling softly.]
I'm afraid I don't know your name, though. You have me at a disadvantage.

Ah-! H-Hyuuga, Hyuuga Hinata, sir! I'm sorry! [She actually bows to the journal, too.]

Really? And how old is that?
[He's at least speaking calmly to her. He figures she might relax around him... give or take a million years.]

Ah- I...I'm sixteen, Hokage-sama. I...I think Naruto-kun is too. I'm not sure, but...

...I'm sorry. [Because he's right. There's no way she can do that.]

[Minato chuckles.] I wouldn't mind a tour. ... Well, as soon as I get my clothes back, anyways.
