*~*~*~*

Sitting in the mission room on the two couches offered, the two men stared at the side door that the Chunin had disappeared into earlier. Asuma huffed before standing and moving to a window on the far wall, pushing it open before he pulled out a cigarette. Gai raised an eyebrow at his friend and had to ask. “Are they driving you into insanity, my friend?” Asuma groaned and rubbed at his face.

“Yeah. Like you would not believe. These guys have codes for their fucking codes, I’m tellin’ ya. And they all have some kind of psychic thing going on for them where they don’t even have to talk to discuss things,” Asuma groaned, rubbing at his face. “But they also know shit, and they’re very smart. Like scary smart. Which is kind of surprising because you really don’t see them being scary smart day to day.”

“This is quite true,” Gai hummed, turning his attention back to the door and shifted on the couch, huffing with amusement. “Naruto-san is often studying something or another when he is not training with Iruka-san or working. Both of them are very smart, but hide things. It’s odd having to figure out what they’ve hidden or what they’re still hiding away.”

“Who is hiding what behind what now?” Kakashi asked as he strolled into the mission room. He was looking decidedly dirty and ruffled after his mission.

“It looks like you got caught in that rain storm there, Kakashi,” Anko drawled as she followed after the man. Her own mission partner Neji looked rather on the unhappy side as he wrung out his long hair. “Just like we did. Or at least the tail end of it.”

“I got caught in it when it was just starting. Lee headed to the bathroom to change out of his current outfit since they do tend to get a bit heavy when soaking wet. And he really didn’t want to leave behind puddles of water,” Kakashi drawled.

“Unlike what? The tracks of mud that some poor Genin is going to have to clean up?” Asuma chuckled from his place.

“Better mud than water. At least it’ll dry out enough to be swept up,” Kakashi chirped. “Now, answer my question would ya? Who is hiding what behind what?” he asked as Lee walked in, changed and holding a small plastic bag with a wet uniform in it.

“We were discussing our Chunin charges actually. They are currently in the Archives, filing things away, but we have been watching them while we’ve been guarding them,” Gai finally said. He smiled at the four as they found their own places to sit. “They are amazingly smart, but they seem to also enjoy hiding it. They also know more than they actually show.”

“Of course they do.” Anko, Neji, Kakashi, Gai, and Asuma all swung their eyes to stare at the smiling Lee, who stared at them in returned. “All Chunin know more than they let on. Especially those who are career Chunins. I too was pulled aside one day to talk about options and I asked about a career Chunin’s life,” he admitted, shrugging a shoulder. “Shikamaru probably knows more but he has no real urge to work the Archives so he doesn’t know it all.”

“Of course he would know this,” Neji sighed as he shook his head with an amused look on his face. At the questioning looks he got, he shrugged his shoulders, settling back in his chair and crossing his legs. “He’s smart, like the Chunins. And like them, sometimes scarily so. It’s just a matter of getting him to admit those smarts,” he continued. “But he’s also very observant which does help.”

“I learned long ago that people tend to underestimate me because I’m like a much smaller version of Gai-sensei. But I’m also smart, like our teacher. Not Neji smart, or even book smart, but people and street smart. I was an orphan after all, and I only joined the academy because my family had at one time been part of the nin force. But my mother died on a mission and my father had been dead nearly eight months before I was born. I didn’t know about that until after I turned sixteen though and could get to my records,” Lee admitted. “I get my looks from my father, or at least most of them. The eyebrows and eyes come from a mix of some interesting family members in my family history.”

“See? He’s scary smart,” Neji sighed, waving a hand at his usual mission partner and former Genin teammate. “You get used to that kind of thing coming out of his mouth every so often.” He sent a dry look to Gai. “Kind of like when Gai-sensei is actually comfortable or just too tired to really do anything.”

“You have no idea just how active these Chunin are,” Gai chuckled as he shook his head, smiling at the memories. “They get up nearly half an hour before I do so that they can get out and run before coming back to the house an hour later. Then they shower, change, make breakfast, and eat. After that, if they have a few minutes, they do some last minute paperwork before they gather everything up and go to their jobs for the day.”

“Izumo-san and Kotetsu-san are both the same way,” Asuma huffed in amusement as he flicked the ash off of his cigarette. “They tend to do morning shift at the front gate, instead of the academy. They used to do short missions to some of the outer posts before their afternoons at the mission desk, but they’re stuck in the village at the moment because of all of this,” Asuma snorted.

“Iruka-san and Naruto-san both work with children at the Academy. I have been run ragged while working with those children, who apparently mostly calm down once they are under our guidance,” Gai said, groaning as he let his head fall back onto the couch. Asuma snorted as he snuffed out his cigarette, adding a bit of chakra to the paper and flicking it as it went up in flames. “Those children, as much as they are the most Youthful I have ever seen, can drive even a saint to drink. I bow down to Iruka-san’s and Naruto-san’s ability in handling them with such ease.”

“Oh yes, the Youthful children of our academy are filled with the Fire of Konohana to be nin of great worth,” Lee brightly boasted, Neji sighing and reaching over to smack him upside the head.

“Not now. No youthfulness and all that right now please,” Neji groaned at him. He shook his head as he started to dig around in his vest pockets and the various pouches on his person to find the small scroll that held his report. Finding it, he unsealed his report and started to go over it. “It is no wonder that the Chunin are hardly bowled over when they have to deal with grumpy nin,” he mused. “Especially if they have to deal with brats on a sugar high. Or arrogant twits with delusions of grandeur.”

“Were you one such arrogant twit with delusions of grandeur?” Kakashi asked from his place. He had decided to perch on a small table that usually held a vase. The vase was currently sitting under it while he sat on it, holding a report and pen in his hands.

“Just as much as you were at one time, Kakashi-san,” Neji replied, sounding airy and bored as he went over his own report. Asuma, the surprisingly quiet Anko, Lee, and Gai all snorted over their own reports. “Have any of the others volunteered to watch over the desk Chunins? Even our dear tokubetsu Jounin have been put on that list right?” he asked.

“They are, at least when it comes to playing babysitter in the missions room,” Asuma admitted, shrugging with a smile. “Why?”

“I’m considering of volunteering to help. I believe that I would have to be vetted, right?” Neji asked, looking to Gai.

“You would need to. Those who have volunteered so far haven’t been approved, yet. Something usually stopped them from being of use,” Gai said, shrugging with a bright smile. “I have no doubt that you would make a good guard for our dear Chunin friends,” he gushed brightly. Neji just groaned and glared at his old sensei over his paperwork.

“I think that I’ll join in on that,” Anko finally said. The others looked at her in surprise. “I think something bigger is going on and will happen, so we need to do as much as we can do in preparation.”

“She’s right, you know,” Neji sighed as he finished with his report. “Okay, so let’s all join shall we? I think we can be of some help. I’ll look around, see if others will be willing to help in keeping an eye out for our dear Chunin friends, as Lee and Gai-san have called them. It couldn’t hurt to help them.”

“He’s right,” Kakashi hummed as he smirked at his friends. “I’ll join in too. It won’t hurt to be in the village for a few days here and there after all.”

“So, we’ll fill out the paperwork and offer our services,” Neji stated, Gai and Asuma smiling at them as Lee was set off about ‘youthful flames’ and ‘fires of strength within our lovely Chunin companions’.

Walking back into the mission room with a list in his hands, Naruto went still as he stared at the gushing Lee before he decided that it was best not to know. He didn’t think that a broken brain would be a welcomed thing while he was filing and gathering reports after all.
