Kaori, thinking the poor child had had too much at last and was about to faint, was on her feet as soon as Tsutomegi was out of his chair. It was only when he bowed did he realize he was in no danger of collapsing - at least, for the moment. "It will be hard work," she warned him, "and not only your Academy training. Though you have been welcomed warmly - and still will be - you may find it difficult to immediately jump head first into life in Konoha, and not everyone may accept you right away. "You will have today off in order to move from the guest lodgings to the accommodations that will be arranged for you. As far as the Academy goes, while I can use my influence to expedite the process, I cannot say for sure how long enrollment will take. Certain things must be processed first, you see, and as I'm sure you can tell, things in Konoha are far from calm at the moment. "But all that aside, I cannot allow these spells of yours to go untreated. When the fit takes you, you have been witnessed as not only a danger to others and to your surroundings, but also a danger to yourself. If you are to accept citizenship, you are also to accept and obey the commands of all in authority here in Konoha - including and especially my own. You are to report first thing tomorrow morning to the Hospital for medical evaluation. Is that understood?"

It was...comforting..in a sense, when the Hokage appeared by his side, thinking he was about to faint. It had been....quite some time since someone had shown consideration for his wellbeing.
Listening intently and nodding where appropriate, Utsuro was glad all his belongings were still inside the bundle, and after all this stress, a break would be most welcome before enrollment, regardless of duration.
His only unvoiced complaint was that of the medical evaluation. There was nothing wrong with him, and there was certainly nothing they could do for the blackouts. "..as you wish, Hokage-dono...I cannot thank you enough.."

Kaori smiled as she accepted a folder of paperwork from Akina. The redhead gave her a questioning look, and Kaori nodded. In a moment, Akina was out the door again. "Now," Kaori instructed, fishing a pen out of a neatly organized drawer, "I'll need you to fill these out. One is your citizenship registration, one is an Academy enrollment form, and the others are for various things like housing and financial aid for a minor living independently. Just have a seat at Akina's desk over there, and let me know when you're done. I'm right here if you have any questions." ((OoC: For the most part, the forms just have basic info like name, age, names and status of various family members, and - when applicable - financial info. That kind of stuff. Have fun filling out paperwork! XD))

Nodding, Utsuro accepted the folder of parchment from the Hokage and shuffled over to the desk, legs still feeling a little weak from all the excitement. Settling into the chair, he began to fill the paperwork out. Fortunately, for all his shortcomings, Utsuro had excellent penmanship.
He made his way down the lines, filling in the proper kanji for his name: Tsutomegi (Mercenary Spirit) Utsuro (empty/void). Continuing, he narrowly avoided dampening the parchment as he marked 'deceased' for the status of family members.
Setting the ink pen down as he came to financial info, Utsuro dug into his pocket and withdrew a handfull of Ryu, counting it out. Total assets: 3400 Ryu. "....I think I am finished, Hokage-dono.."
((OoC: not exactly sure how Ryu works as a currency, so this post is made assuming it's like Yen, which makes Utsuro the proud owner of about $3.40 XD))

"Oh?" Kaori asked, looking up from the reports she had been reading. Akina, who had entered a few minutes before, was leaning against the bookshelves leafing through some paperwork. "Let's see, then."

Bringing the folder over to her desk, he timidly held it out towards her and waited silently to hear what he had undoubtedly did wrong.

Kaori took the folder, opened it, and briefly scanned the contents. "Everything seems to be in order, then," she announced at last, handing the folder back to him. "Keep a hold of that for awhile longer. Akina?" The redhead nodded, motioning to the visitor-turned-resident. "Come with me, then," she said briskly.

"Thank you again, Hokage-dono." Bowing deeply to her, he clutched the folder tightly and moved swiftly to Akina-sama's side.

"Normally arranging these things takes a little while longer," Akina explained to Tsutomegi as the office door clicked shut behind them, "but we're doing what we can to expedite the process. Because of that, things might get a little hectic - just stick close to me, and try not to run into anyone. Some of the newer assistants are notorious for not watching where they're going." Her high heels clicked sharply on the floor as they walked, giving their procession a determined, businesslike sound. "There is financial aid available for minors who must live on their own," she explained. "In the past, and now, even, there have been those whose parents are no longer among us, and who have nowhere else to go. So don't think you're alone in that regard. You're not the only one to have these arrangements made. "The money you make doing missions, and any other odd jobs you manage to take on in the meantime, you may spend as you will. But when you become an adult, you'll be taken off the program, and you'll have to fend for yourself. So until then, I suggest you work hard to get caught up so you'll be able to take on enough missions to support yourself. I'm not telling you this to scare you, mind - but rather to give you an idea of what to suspect in the future." At last they stopped at a counter, where a few rather harried-looking assistants were copying, sorting, organizing, and otherwise working with various bits of forms and other paperwork. "We'll need that folder now," she instructed, holding out her hand. So apparently I forgot this thread existed. So sorry about that!

Following briskly, folder clutched tightly to his chest, the unusual Utsuro nodded, commiting this information to memory. Although there were no incidents involving run-ins, it certainly wasn't for a lack of defensive measures, the boy moving almost clear to the other side of the hallways whenever someone drew close. At last they came to a stop, Tokoharu-sama turning and holding out a hand. "We'll need that folder now,". Handing it over quickly, almost reverently, the people behind the counter looked so busy....he hoped it wouldn't be a bother to them.

"Thank you," Akina said briskly, taking the folder and promptly handing it to the assistant who had appeared to assist her the moment she had stopped there. "Residency forms," she explained when the girl looked at her quizzically. "We'll need the usual copies for that, pronto." The girl nodded, looking almost awestruck, and scurried off. Judging from her behavior, and the fact that she didn't even know the girl's name, Akina knew the girl was one of those who had been hired only recently to handle the influx of work. "Is there anything you wish to know while we wait?" Akina asked Tsutomegi-kun. "Where the stores are, information, anything."

Pausing to think, he shook his head slightly. "..I am fairly familar with the area now, thank you Tokoharu-sama.....but..where will I be staying, and...When will I be attending the Academy?......how many students are there?"
Okay, so maybe he had a few more questions than he thought.

Akina suppressed a frown at being called by her surname, but said nothing about it. She supposed she'd have to get used to being called that again, after... But there was no point in thinking about that now. What was done, was done. And she had some questions to answer. "You'll be staying in an apartment similar to where many of our shinobi stay," Akina explained. "You'll be shown where it is once we've finalized the paperwork. As to when you'll start the academy...." she shrugged. "That's up to Kaori-sama, and these guys." She jerked her head towards the flustered assistants. "Once the paperwork goes, and she's satisfied that you're sufficiently safe from injuring yourself or others to be allowed to attend classes, you will begin your training. She'll tell you more about that tomorrow. As for the students, I do not keep a running tab on how many students there are in the Academy - " she raised her eyebrow at him here, as though surprised he would think it " - but the classes there tend to stay pretty full. You will not be attending a half-empty class, I can promise you that. Is there anything else?"

Nodding in acceptance, he sighed inwardly. Whatever had occured during the most recent blackout...it apparently dug him a fairly deep hole. Ichiyuumaihi-dono..why must you cause so much trouble?
"...I see....Thank you, Tokoharu-sama. That is all I can think of..." Falling silent, all that was left was to wait, it seemed.

Akina nodded. She said nothing else until the assistant returned with a stack of folders, each labeled neatly and color-coded with various stickers. The only plain one was the original, which sat on top of the small tower. "Let's go, then," she said simply to Tsutomegi, and started off into the maze of people and hallways once more.
