Warnings: Nothing really
AN: Some notes on this chapter.
Each Ryo equals about 10 Yen, so 570 Ryo equals 5,700 Yen. Break that down into American Dollar, and it is around 55 dollars (give or take) as of 2016. So for two of the bingo books mentioned in this chapter, you would pay about 27.50 American Dollar.
So now that we're done with that little lesson (I'm not trying to get into economy and shifting yen to dollar bullshit because it makes my head hurt), I have to say that this was the real turning point in regards to the plot that I had for this story. It started to take form and it was just so much fun to write.
It was a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy!
And to those who said that they can't wait to see where the world goes and how this turned out, I'm glad you're enjoying and hope to see more reviews.
Yes, I get them. Yes, I read them. Just with aff right now, I can't respond but on the forums and my computer twitches each time I have to open them. So...yeah.
But still! Thank you.
*~*~*~*
It was little and black, this one actually titled with “Konoha Bingo Book” across the top. In the right bottom corner was the word “Chunin” gray against the black. No one but actual Chunins were usually interested in the bingo book before him, since most thought that Chunins weren’t all that dangerous. Everyone wanted the bigger, badder bounties so went for the more mainstream bingo books when they came out. They wanted the missing nin or the Jounin that had a kill list a mile long to their names.
After all, who would ever think that the small fries who did smaller missions and worked the desks had some of the biggest bounties?
They all had to wonder though what would happen if someone who wasn’t one of them got their hands on their bingo book. Would their minds break from the information that was found within? Would the bounties offered on them alive and well surprise them? Would they even believe it?
After all, it was highly amusing to them to know that they had some of the biggest bounties that were being offered. There was even one that was just slightly bigger than the one offered for Hatake Kakashi’s head.
But now, staring at it as it sat on Iruka’s kitchen table like any normal book, Naruto had to wrinkle his nose. Iruka just smiled as he poured water over the tea strainer, watching him. “So where do we find these?” he asked, his tone curious as he flipped to the first page. He read over the basic information of how the book was set up and how each category was done along with how information was obtained.
Iruka placed a tea cup down before Naruto, putting the pot on the table soon after. “You can get them at the Flying Leaf Office and Bookstore,” he said. Naruto cocked an eyebrow, drawing his eyes away from the Bingo Book.
“I’m lucky that the new owner likes me since her dad sure as hell didn’t,” Naruto snorted. “It does make it easier to do my business though. Which is good since it looks like I need to invest in one of these.”
Iruka nodded as he sat with his own cup. He knew exactly why Naruto was finding it so easy to do business with the daughter seeing as she had a crush on him. There were quite a few females, civilian and nin, that had crushes on him actually. Especially since he had turned eighteen and could claim his family names fully. Even with the fact that he was a desk Chunin, he was still good looking after all.
Naruto had gone from a short, prank pulling nimrod to a still kind of short, semi-androgynous young adult. He had obvious intelligence shining through blue eyes that sparkled under blond hair. His hiate most times sat around his neck or acted like a headband so his hair tended to fall around his face with no trouble. All that along with the sun kissed skin that reminded one of butterscotch that stretched over lean, strong muscles made for a lovely picture. His talents on the battlefield also tended to show up in the way he could move from one thing to another without interrupting his flow.
He always seemed oblivious to the looks though and it amused the rest of the desk Chunins.
“Just be glad that you’re able to get whatever you need to get without a lot of trouble at the very least,” Iruka mused as he stirred his tea, adding a bit of honey. “You might want to figure in about 570 ryo into your next round of bills and buy a couple of slots for the next two books. Those who have those slots get them first, meaning that they’re told when they come out. Especially since they tend to come out every six to eight months now days.”
Naruto blinked, knowing that outside of the ones that were available to everyone who had a shinobi number and ID, they were updated only about once a year. Jounins took theirs in and had it updated by ANBU, or replaced if they needed it. But still… “Well, I can spare that,” Naruto said after he mused. He put that interesting bit of information to the side. Picking up his tea cup, he sipped at the reddish liquid within, the scent of pomegranate teasing his senses. It drew a smile from him, knowing that Iruka knew of his weakness for pomegranate teas. “Whose bounty went up this time?” he asked.
“Mine went up about fifty ryo, and they somehow got the idea that Genma is a Chunin again. His bounty went up again too,” Iruka mused, frowning at his own tea cup. He tasted his tea and added more honey to his tea. “There is an interesting addition to the section on trainees though. You have a full three pages to your name. But what’s in it actually worries me a little.”
“Why would it worry you?” Naruto asked as he stared at Iruka. His eyebrows drew together over his darkening blue eyes. He knew that the Iruka only worried about something for very good reason. He was really smart and had a refined warning instinct that put some ANBU’s to shame. The young blond had learned that he had to have such a refined instinct as a protector of the village Archives. That and he had to often dodge incoming kunai from the future shinobi of the village.
It had only taken him three days as Iruka’s assistant to learn to listen to him when he was worried about something.
“Now, when a Chunin is first placed in this book, there really isn’t a lot of information about them. Names, ages, village affiliation, their Jounin instructor, Genin teammates and how long they have been a Chunin,” Iruka told him as he flipped the bingo book open. He found the trainee profiles and showed Naruto what he was talking about. The profiles were sparse, just as he said.
“Yeah, I can see you’re right,” Naruto sighed, eyeing the profiles with a frown. Iruka reached over and flipped to the pages that held Naruto’s personal profile. It did extend over four pages and had quite a bit of details. “Damn,” he whistled, “just who have they been talking to?”
“Not only do they have your basic information, but they have information about your time traveling with Jiraiya-sama along with some of your known jutsus. They included your Rasengan and Kage Bushin. They also have it that you know several new jutsus that you have acquired after you gained your Chunin status. Along with that, they have that you are a melee fighter, a few of your kills, and a couple of the bounties that you have collected. This includes that first A class mission that happened when you were still with your Genin team.” He lent forward as Naruto’s eyes narrowed and his lips thinned. “The information, for the most part, is not really outdated but your fighting style has changed, and you’ve also added many more jutsus then labeled. They still think that you still have a weakness with genjutsu.”
“And all of that means?” Naruto asked, tilting his head to the side, tilting an eyebrow at his teacher.
“It means that whoever gathered the information got it from reports, outdated stories, or from Kakashi-san’s Bingo Book entry,” he stated and sat back in his seat.
“It’s like the person who wrote this up can’t get the real information outside of what is known village wide,” Naruto thought aloud as he read over the information. Tapping on a line that was in bold, he smirked. “Hell, they even admit here that the information is old and possibly out of date. Along with the fact that they missed the fact that Tsunade and Jiraiya were named my godparents,” he said.
“Which I think is a good thing. We wouldn’t want them to go after you if they thought they could use you to hurt our two loyal Sannin,” the older Chunin stated. He reached up and pulled his hair loose from his ponytail, not feeling up to leaving the apartment after they were done.
“That can be true. Hey, they say that Raidou is helping me prepare for my Jounin exams and that it’s Genma who is my sensei. Am I really around them that much?” Naruto asked, looking to his friend and sensei. Iruka just smirked at him and nodded his head, causing him to pout about that.
“Well, at least you have some misleading information in this, which can be good and bad,” Iruka drawled. He finished off his tea and put the cup down before him. Naruto just stared at his companion before he continued to read over his profile, taking in all of the information provided.
There was the basic information, including his dead last placement in the academy. They had also included the fact that he was Jiraiya's apprentice, and his Genin sensei was Hatake Kakashi. They also had the correct information that his two original teammates were Tsunade’s secondary apprentice, Haruno Sakura, and the now missing Uchiha Sauske. They even had the fact that Sai was Sasuke’s replacement and they had a second commander in Yamato.
They even had some information on the missions that he had done over the years. There weren’t a whole lot on said missions beyond their ranks and if they were successful. He ran his eyes over it and found that the Wave Mission was listed as a C rank turned B rank instead of A. It made him burst into giggles.
“Gods, not only did they get some of my mission ranks wrong,” he snickered, “but they also got my elemental affiliation wrong too. They have me down as lightning because of a few of my past battles,” he continued, the news making Iruka smirk heavily at him.
“That is good actually,” Iruka drawled, pouring some more tea for both of them. Naruto made an inquisitive sound. “It’s misleading which gives you an edge in future missions. We do want that particular edge after all.”
“Well, I suppose that’s good news in all of this,” Naruto said. He flipped the pages back to the beginning and started to go through it. “Anything else that’s new with our dear Bingo Book?” he asked.
“There’s a few bounties for Chunins outside of Konoha that have made it into our books because they’re allies,” Iruka said. He watched with a smile as Naruto started to work through the book, one page at a time. He could see just how the younger Chunin was absorbing the information with surprising ease, feeling insanely proud of just how far Naruto had come during his training and just how far he would go in later years.
