Ichika bowed her head slightly as her Hokage spoke to her, debriefing the Uchiha woman and seemingly readying himself to rebrief her for another mission. This was unexpected to be sure, but not unwelcome. In a way, Ichika felt as though she lived to serve the village; and by extension Seiji Hyuuga. But she was okay with that and in fact, she was more than happy to. In serving her village, she was able to travel the world in her pursuit of power.

[color=gold]"I will do whatever is asked of me, Lord Fourth."[/color] Ichika replied softly to the Hokage's question. Although the response that she was met was stern, it carried slight undertones of care for the woman before him. [B]"That's not what I asked."[/B]

With a deep sigh before locking eyes with the Hokage, Ichika nodded and continued their conversation. [color=gold]"Yes...Lord Fourth. I will be ready. What are the paramaters of this joint operation?"[/color]  She enquired, ever the inquisitor when it came to the details of her next mission. Sat completely straight backed, with her eyes never breaking contact with Seiji. His scarred features commanded the respect of those who met him.

At least that was what Ichika believed were people's initial impressions when they met the Hokage. Though she knew all to well that in actuality, it was his personality and strength of convictions, along with his accolades that inspired the respect of others. Not his outward appearance. Though it certainly didn't hurt.

Ichika had always felt uneasy in that office, from an early age Uchiha children were taught not to trust people from outside the clan and its close circles. But life had taught her otherwise, the Hyuuga could be trusted. [I]Seiji[/I] could be trusted. However, a childhood of indoctrination lived during wartime was a difficult thing to shake. Even with all this information, still the Uchiha felt out of place. As though she did not belong.
