Her arms dropped before Adela could decide whether to accept the hug or not and she searched her memory for anything. A few seconds later...
"Oh! I forgot about that letter! Now what did I do with it..."
She turned around to dig around in the paper mess. Several packets that needed her approval or denial by tomorrow, papers she was going to foist on Kakashi after lunch, interview notes, more notes... Aha! A letter in Obito's hand. She squinted at it for a moment, adjusting her eyes to the careful print, then read it over again. A Hokage hopeful coming to observe how her village ran, and it was Adela. She set the message back down on her desk and allowed herself to grin for a moment. If she wanted to be Hokage, she had a long, hard road ahead of her. Kushina took a deep breath and hid her grin before turning back. She didn't do as good a job of it as she'd hoped, since the smile was still reflected in her eyes as she surveyed her.
"So, you want to be Hokage?" she asked, leaning against her desk. "I'll do what I can to show you how things run here, but you have to keep in mind Konoha runs a bigger operation than we do here. And don't worry about a place to stay, we'll get that arranged for you."
She pushed herself off the desk and passed Adela to stick her head out of her office door and yell at her imported assistant to get an apartment ready for Adela by two that afternoon.
"Uh... So while that gets taken care of, I was just organizing my desk. There'd be less paper, but I'm kinda in the middle of hiring a new assistant."
