AN: Can we all say “Exhausted writer is exhausted”? Yeah, I bet we can. To be blunt, I'm so tired that yesterday I laid down at 6PM Arizona time. I didn't twitch until about 3 and that was to go to the bathroom. I crawled out of bed around 10AM this morning.

I was that tired. Then again, 24 hours without an ounce of sleep and living off of soda and water to stay awake is not happy making for my body now days. Chronic pain is exhausting okay?

Anyways, I hope that you guys enjoy.

*~*~*~*

Staring at a list in his hand, Kurama grumbling in his head about it, Naruto sighed and bit at his bottom lip as he tried to think about just who it was who could be out to get them. Despite their lives, it was a rather short list. There just weren’t that many people who would be all that interested in the Archives. Much less the desk Chunins who took care of the files within.

Naruto sighed again and let his head thump onto the table as he groaned in distaste. “Fuck, what are we going to do now?” he asked. Kurama growled, making Naruto snort and form a clone, wrapping a seal around its wrist to allow the fox to take it over. “We have got to find a better way for you to take a physical form,” he complained.

“You’re still reading those sealing scrolls that your mother kept from Uzushio right?” Kurama asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

Naruto huffed at him. “Of course I am, and you know it. But with everything that has been going on in the last couple of weeks, all I’ve been able to do is get home and fall into bed,” he said. “I’ve just barely gotten this temporary seal tested and ready for you to use as it is,” he continued. He held up the list and pointed at it. “Now help me with this, fuzzball. Iruka is with Gai-san at his ‘personal’ apartment tonight. The poor guy needed a night at home to get some of his paperwork done. Said something about trying to get laid too.”

“I really didn’t need to know that about your brother,” Kurama drawled, shaking his head with a growl. “Blood or not, I really, really did not need to know that. Who do you have on that list of yours?” he asked, changing the topic and trying to get rid of his thoughts of Iruka and getting laid.

He may be a fox made of chakra, and well known to be all about the sex, but even he had come to think of the scarred man in a brotherly fashion.

“I have on this list Orochimaru, Danzo, the Akatsuki, the bastards that they are, and a few other idiots who want to get in. Like the Iwa Kage. But I don’t think that he’s that much of an idiot to try for us. Even he stares at Iruka warily when all he is doing is smiling sweetly,” Naruto snorted. He shook his head as he tapped his pen on the desk again.

“Maybe it’s someone from another village?” Kurama suggested. He sat down, going through their shared memories together before they shook their heads.

“Nah. No one from another village would be stupid enough at the moment. Most of them wouldn’t deal with small fries or try for us right now,” Naruto snorted as he leant back. “I might have to go bug Iruka before he goes out to do whatever it is he’s wanting to do.”

Kurama grunted and yanked at the seal on his wrist, allowing the clone to pop and his soul to drop back into Naruto’s mindscape once more. “I’ll work on figuring out who is possibly after the information on you and yours,” he promised.

“Thanks,” Naruto sighed. Grabbing the list up and smoothing down his day kimono, not having planned on leaving the house, he stood up. But since he had to deal with the thoughts going around in his head sooner than later, he decided to get it done and over with before it drove him nuts. With a sigh of unhappiness, he tucked away some kunai and such around in his kimono sleeves and obi before he left with said list in hand.

Leaving the house and grounds, shutting the gate behind him, Naruto started to walk down the street, his hands tucked up into his sleeves as he thought about what he knew. He missed some of his fellow shinobi walking into poles or walls as he walked past them. He also missed some of the civilian’s staring at him, distracted by his thoughts enough that he didn’t see how him dressing in such relaxed clothing were affecting those around him.

Kurama though was snickering. Loudly.

Arriving at Iruka’s apartment, telling Kurama to shut up, he knocked on the door as he frowned down at the rather short list. “Naruto? What brings you here?” Iruka asked as he opened the door, standing before him in his own day kimono.

“I have something that I need to run past you,” he admitted, looking to his friend and brother, smiling. He held up his list and wiggled it. “I’ve been trying to put this list together since I got attacked, and I may know a lot of names but I’m really not that knowledgeable about who would be stupid enough to come after us.” He paused. “Or has the balls to come after us.”

Iruka sighed and stepped to the side. “Come on in, you brat. Gai is taking a shower before he heads out for his own night. Apparently he’s going to let the ANBU Cat tail me tonight,” he drawled in amusement.

“At least Cat isn’t all that bad,” Naruto said as he stepped into the apartment, kicking his sandals off, shoving them into place next to Iruka’s shoes with his feet. “But really? This list is itty bitty with who would be stupid enough to try to come after files in the village, much less think that we have something that they can use.”

“Let’s sit down first and I’ll make some tea for the two of us,” Iruka snickered, shaking his head as he lead the way into the kitchen. “Sit down.” he pointed to the dining room table with a smile, getting one from Naruto as the young man sat at the traditional table. “So, why don’t you tell me the list that you have and the reason as to why you think that they may be possible. And what makes you think that it’s not them if you think that,” he instructed as he filled the kettle with water.

“Let’s see. On my list, how about we go with the obvious people first. Akatsuki is on it. We know that they want power and that they want the Jinjuriki,” Naruto said as he sat back in his seat, Iruka pulling down mugs. “But I don’t think that it’s them.”

“Why not?” Iruka prompted as he pulled down a teapot and filled the little basket within with tea leaves.

Naruto snorted as he gathered his thoughts, waiting until Iruka had pulled the kettle off of the burner, ending the sharp whistling, allowing it to cool slightly before he poured the water over the leaves. “Well, I highly doubt that they have the energy or power to break into a village. Much less try to get to a heavily guarded Archival without the solid proof that what they want is within. The leader, from what we’ve discovered, is a canny bastard. No doubt an insane one, but canny.”

“So it is doubtful that they would send someone in to just grab whatever they can grab, huh?” Iruka asked him, Naruto nodding his head. “I suppose that you’re right about that. Especially since they’re probably still licking their wounds.”

“Yep,” Naruto said, taking the offered tea cup from Iruka, watching as he poured the tea for the two of them, putting a bottle of honey down, taking it to use. He set it to the side as Iruka poured some sugar and a tiny bit of milk into his own cup. He took the offered long handled spoon and stirred as he thought. “And I know for a fact that it’s not Sasuke and his merry bunch. If he wanted information that’s in the Archives, he has people who would know that, so he wouldn’t need to raid the Archives. So he wasn’t even put onto the list in the first place.”

“Are you sure about his team?” Iruka asked as he sat down, stirring his tea and adding a bit more milk.

“I know that they wouldn’t go against his orders. They’re really not that stupid,” Naruto snorted as he waved his spoon at the other man. “Karin might push it but even she wouldn’t be stupid enough to do something so idiotic. Suigetsu is just one who would want to beat information out of a person instead of going for the papers with the information. And Jungo is very much attached to Sasuke’s side. He won’t go against his orders. Ever.”

Iruka hummed and nodded. “So a solid team then?” he asked as the sound of the bathroom door opening reached them. “It sounds as if Gai has finished his shower.”

“I have indeed finished my shower, Iruka-kun,” Gai said as he came into the kitchen with a broad grin, rubbing at his head with a towel. Iruka and Naruto watched as he grabbed an apple before heading for the room that he was using while they were there at Iruka’s secondary apartment.

Tilting his head to the side, Naruto huffed out a laugh. “We need to get that guy out of his green suit. I did not know that he was that defined under that suit of his,” he drawled.

Iruka nodded his head before grinning slightly. “Yeah, seriously,” he chuckled before he shook his head. “Enough about the buff Jounin who is leaving me alone with an ANBU for the night. Continue over your list. Who’s next on it?” he asked, pointing to the list.

“The snakey one himself, Orochimaru,” Naruto said after he looked over his list. “Though I’m really not sure if he would be doing something like this right now.” He bit at his bottom lip.

“What makes you think that?” Iruka asked. Naruto sighed softly.

“The last time that me and Jiraiya went up against him,” Naruto started, eyebrows furrowing together, “a rather hard hit to his head had him looking more than a little dazed.”

“Dazed? Dazed how?” Iruka asked as leant forward, not having heard this report before.

Naruto frowned and waited until they heard Gai leave the apartment with a called out goodbye over his shoulder. “While we were fighting, it seemed as if a hit that had slammed him into a rather hard boulder landed just right to knock his brain around,” he said, curling his hands around the tea cup, letting the heat seep into his hands. “He just looked dazed. Surprised at something. I guess you can say lost.” He frowned. “I really don’t know how to explain it actually. Jiraiya said that he had only seen that look back when they had been teammates and he had done something really stupid.”

“So because of this happening, you don’t think that Orochimaru would be doing this?” Iruka asked him.

Naruto sipped his tea. “Not just that. It’s also not his style to send someone in when he can do it himself instead,” he admitted, shrugging one shoulder. “So I highly doubt that it was him. But he’s still on the list at the bottom as a maybe.”

“Maybe he could be, but like you said, it’s not him. Who is the last one on that list of yours?” Iruka looked down at the list and felt his eyebrows raise. “Danzo?”

“You know the same shit as much as I do when it comes to that slimy bastard,” Naruto drawled. He tapped his fingers around the cup. “He’ll do just about anything if it means that his version of the village comes to be. He’s an old war dog and one that should have long ago retired to some pasture.” He looked at Iruka with a frown. “We both know that he’s tried to get permission to get into the Archives whenever he wants to under the guise of helping the village. But as he’s been stopped by you and the Sadamine, he was stopped by our predecessors.”

“You think that he sent the idiot in for him?” Iruka asked, scowling at that thought. The two friends turned to a window as it slid open, kunai already in their hands as the snarled.

“I think that you two may be right about him,” came the rumble of Cat as he slid into the apartment, closing the window.

“Damn ANBU! Always sneaking into a person’s apartment. Do you have some kind of seal in here or something? Get happy when you listen to me have fun?” Iruka snarled, glaring at him with dark eyes.

“We do have a seal and we don’t listen in when you’re entertaining company. We do not have one in Uzumaki-san’s home though,” Cat admitted as he stepped down from the seal, fixing his mask. “But I think that I can help you with figuring out for sure if it is Danzo or not who is the one targeting you. Ibiki-san has give us ANBU permission to help the desk Chunin in any way they need.”
