Fandom: Naruto
Part: 28
Characters: Kurenai, Hinata, Shino, Kiba,
Word count: 1,877
Warnings: Nothing
AN: So in this one we get to go over a bit more information and return to some old information put into a new perspective.

Now, there is a couple of points I need to go over real fast. 1) Yes, Orochimaru and Kaubto are...good. Well more morally ambigious like most of the nin's that I write are. 2) Yes, Haku and Zabuza are alive and no, Naruto didn't know. Naruto will be discovering this fact VERY soon and Kakashi will be sucking up.

For a long ass time.

3) Yes, I like my redeemed Orochimaru. Go check out blackkat's stuff. I love her stuff and right now I'm reading 'reverse' by her. Lots and lots of chapters.

And part the fourth: I am in a lot of pain. I live in chronic pain. Some days it's better. Some days it's worse. I saw my doctor on Wednesday and adjusted my medication intake so now I'm taking a muscle relaxant 3 times a day with a quarter of my main pain killer that is mostly an anti-inflamatory. When I need it mind you.

I have lost about 10 pounds in the last few months though so happiness!

I hope that you guys enjoy this chapter and I shall see you next time!

*~*~*~*

Looking over her teammates, biting into a piece of pork, she chewed as she watched Hinata eat her own food, obviously thinking about something or another. Swallowing, Kurenai waved her chopsticks at the shy Hyuga, getting her attention as she tilted her head. “What are you thinking about over there?” she asked her. Kiba looked over to Hinata, Shino’s hidden face turning to her too.

Hinata looked up from her plate, humming in question as she finished chewing her food, swallowing the bite. “I’m thinking about the problems that our desk Chunin have been dealing with lately,” she admitted as Kiba snorted.

“Those jerks? Why are you so worried about them?” Kiba asked as he reached out with his chopsticks to snag a dumpling from the communal basket.

Shino snorted at him and grabbed the one that Kiba had been aiming for before the dog nin, giving him a look as he gently pulled the dumpling into two parts. “The Archives have been attacked. Twice. Didn’t you hear that? Naruto-kun himself was attacked once and Kotetsu-san was also attacked before hand. They are not very happy and their jobs are busy enough without having to become paranoid.” He bit into one half of the dumpling, chewing as the other’s stared at him, Kiba glaring at him. He swallowed. “Not to mention the fact that they do have people of certain strength following them now. Even Genma-san and Raidou-san have people following them around.”

“You would think that it was the Jounin’s who have ta follow these guys around all day would be the ones put out,” Kiba drawled as he grabbed a different bun.

“Actually, the job that the desk Chunins do is hard,” Hinata said, gently picking up a onigiri with her chopsticks and placing it onto her plate. She reached out and picked up some pork slices next, dipping them into the leftover ramen broth in her bowl, heating them as she thought. “One of my retired cousins was a desk Chunin but he never became a part of the Archival team. From what he was able to tell me when I was considering trying to become one, they not only take paperwork and hand out the missions, but they file paperwork from the Hokage. And they organize the Archives. On top of all that, they are the only ones who know exactly what resides in the Archives.”

“How is is that they are the only ones who know what is in there? I thought that the Hokage would know,” Kurenai said, looking interested as she put raw beef slices into the cooking broth, playing with them a bit. She looked at Kiba and noticed that he was looking on the bored side, but he had bitten into his bun to keep his mouth shut.

Good boy.

Hinata pulled her pork out of her ramen broth, allowing it to drip before she put it to the side on her plate. “They actually have a six to eight month training period depending on the person. This is, of course, after a two month period of testing to see if they can do the job of a desk Chunin,” she said, eating a bit of the cooked pork. Chewing and swallowing her bite, she continued. “During that training period, not only do they have to learn all of the Archive, the files along with the layout, they also have to change how they think. He also said that they had private tutors with T and I for somethings.”

Frowning at that, Shino gazed at her through his glasses. “What do you mean by that? I would think that T and I would not wish to deal with the desk Chunins,” he said.

Kurenai snorted softly. “If what we know about them is actually true and there is a grain of truth in those rumors we’re hearing, Ibiki and his crew would want them to know how to keep all of that info secret.” She shook her head. “Did your cousin there say why he couldn’t really go into details?” he asked, getting looks from her team. “I’m just guessing here, but Hinata would probably have gotten a whole lot more details if she was really considering becoming a desk jockey. Seeing as she didn’t, there has to be a good reason as to why.”

Hinata frowned slightly as she finished her pork. “He has a secrecy seal on him that I was told was tied to all of the information that he gained while working as a desk and Archive Chunin. The only reason why he’s not still one is because he damaged one leg to the point of being able to do what he needs to do as one. He still works at the Academy as an administrator and the such, but he really doesn’t talk about his previous jobs all that much.”

“A seal?” Shino asked, shaking his head. “I did not know that they required their people to take a seal to work as a desk Chunin. Even Iruka-san has one?” he asked.

Hinata shook her head. “It’s voluntary to get.” She stared at Shino and smiled. “It’s, as he called it, an extra layer of security. Even though even a Yamanaka would have a near impossible time getting to the information that they know, they want to add another layer to that,” she said, clicking her chopsticks. “He took it willingly.”

“So they take this seal? Happily? Does it have some kind of an off switch?” Kurenai asked, her eyebrows rising when Hinata nodded her head.

“Oh yes, it does. The first Chunins who used them made sure of it. It was created by an Uzumaki fuinjutsu expert and is controlled only by the one who wears it,” she said, shaking her head. “I don’t know all of the details and only those who wear it or apply them know the details of how it works either.”

Kiba swallowed heavily and stared at the others before frowning to himself in thought. “I think I need to actually talk to one of the desk jockey’s. I’m just not really believing this. Not fully.”

Kurenai sighed as she finished off her food, Hinata shaking her head, turning back to her plate and eating another bite. Shino hummed and just went back to eating the dumpling that he had stolen. “I think that we should probably do that. But who? Iruka-san is right now swamped between the mission desk, the Archive, and testing week at the academy. Izumo-san and Kotetsu-san are also having to train some new Chunins since three of them were bumped up to Jounin just last week. Raidou-san and Genma-san, who while knowing what they do, aren’t the best option since they themselves are tokubetsu Jounin and only work the front areas. Sometimes they help with the filing and stuff, but they don’t talk about what they do really.”

Shino hummed in thought as he drained his bowl of soup. “I would think then that we would speak with Naruto-san. I know that his next day off is tomorrow actually. He had one yesterday, but from what I understand, he had spent it doing research at his home or at Iruka-san’s. It is possible to go to his home from what I know.”

“How thought? That gate is hidden,” Kiba drawled, waving his chopsticks at his friend before he stuffed his mouth with pork strips and limp bell pepper.

“He has a seal that will act like a doorbell,” Shino stated, getting stared at by Kurenai and Kiba. “He told Hinata-san and I when he was setting things up,” he told them. “Showed us the seal and how to use it. We are off tomorrow outside of any call’s yes?” he asked.

“Yep. If they need us for something, or they just need some information about something, they’ll send a messenger bird,” Kurenai said, wiping off her lips and putting her napkin down. “Alright you guys, put the money down. I think that we shall get together at the normal training grounds tomorrow and head over before we do any training,” she continued.

“I think I can handle that,” Kiba said, eating the last of his food on his plate, piling up the used dishes. Shino did the same with his and Hinata’s dishes, pushing the pile towards the middle while Kurenai and Hinata piled the communal baskets and plates up. Hinata turned off the burner under the hot pot and stuck the little ‘clean me’ flag up.

“Shall we meet about eight? I know for a fact that no matter how much he likes to stay in bed, Naruto tends to get out of bed around that time. It will gives us time for a quick breakfast in the morning before going over to meet them,” Hinata said.

“That sounds good to me,” Kurenai said, reaching into her pocket while Hinata reached into her inner jacket, pulling out their wallets to pay their part of the bill, leaving a tip.

“I need to head home though and finish off some reports. Izumo-san asked me for a few more details on a few of my last solo missions but the basic report was fine from what he told me. Luckily I didn’t have to rush since there was so much to do the last few days. But since we are free today, I am going to go finish doing that,” Hinata told them.

“Have a good afternoon, Hinata-san,” Shino said, pulling out his own money and laying out his part of the bill plus tip. Hinata stood, bowed to them and left with a smile. Kurenai stood too, waving at them as she headed for the door.

“Eight o’clock sharp, you two. We’ll see you at the grounds,” she said over her shoulder before she left. Kiba sighed and pulled out his own money, dropping it down onto the table and allowed Shino to gather the bills up, placing the money into the bill booklet, the tip money sliding into a small envelope that he tucked just under the booklet.

“You wanna spar?” Kiba asked him, tucking his hands into his pockets as he stood. Shino nodded and moved to stand beside him, thinking that Hinata probably already knew more than what she was telling them. He doubted that she would tell him what she knew considering her tendency to consider certain things secret.

And she never shared her secrets with anyone. Ever.

“Let us go to Training Grounds five. I believe that I have a need to practice that one jutsu,” Shino drawled, hiding his smirk behind his high collar when Kiba whined at him. Akamaru stood as they stepped outside, having decided to bask in the warmth of the sun while the team had eaten. He didn’t particularly like that restaurant anyways since they had sneered at him.

“Fine. Let’s just get going so I can get my ass kicked. Again,” Kiba huffed, shaking his head and shoving the thoughts of Naruto and desk jockeys to the side. They’d find out was was going on tomorrow after all.

No need to worry.
