*~*~*~*
Iruka didn’t know what to think as he took another completed mission report from one of many nins who had finished with their mission. He gave the woman a wary look before looking down at the pages, scanning over and picking out the needed information before stamping it. “Thank you, Tenten-san,” he said, getting a bright smile from the brunette. The two buns on her head looked a little frazzled, but all around, she looked happy.
“You’re very welcome, Iruka-san,” she chirped, smiling at him some more before she left the room with a bounce. Iruka just blink after her, wondering what was going on. Taking a slow, deep breath to center himself, he filed away the report away with the others before he shared a look with a bored looking Genma. He saw the same wariness in his brown eyes that was filling his own body.
“I’m starting to wonder as to why we are suddenly getting all of these completed reports without us having yelled at them first,” Iruka finally said. The mission room was empty for the moment, meaning that they could talk without any worry.
“I don’t have a clue. Though...Nah. Maybe...I do keep hearing that there’s some interesting rumors about a desk Chunin’s job. Along with why us Tokubetsus help you guys. But, and do keep this in mind, not one person has said a damn word around me.” Genma looked at his friend with a frown. “I heard this all second hand and spying on people.”
Iruka frowned to himself as he narrowed his eyes down at the papers on his desk. “Do you think that they’re wondering about us again?” the Chunin asked as he shuffled them around. Standing up, he started to go through the reports to check them against the list of reports that were still needed.
“Once more, I have no clue. But you do remember the last time someone got interested in the job you do right? You guys ended up handing out some serious amounts of punishment missions more often than usual for nearly a week,” Genma grunted. He stood himself and moved to check on their supplies there at the desk. Iruka snorted as the senbon user grabbed a bottle of ink and poured a bit onto a pad.
“Yes, I remember that. They tried so very hard to stalk after us and get into some of the locked rooms. We’re just lucky that they never tried to get into the actual Archives. I didn’t want to deal with whining Jounin,” Iruka stated, pausing to smirk at a thought. “They would have ended up with much worse punishment than cleaning up trash or shoveling manure.” He frowned as he flipped through a report before turning to Genma as he put the list down. “Has Gai-san turned in his mission report for today yet?” he asked.
“Not yet. But it might take him some time if he’s gonna do what everyone else has done with their reports,” Genma stated as he checked the other ink pads. He grabbed his own paperwork as he moved to sit, and shuffled it around before finding his pen. He checked the notes that he had taken while they worked, using them to fill out the information.
“That’s just wonderful,” Iruka replied, sarcasm dripping from each word. Finishing with his check over of the reports, he sat down and started his own paperwork that was waiting for him. Outside of filing the various reports that were due, handing out needed missions, and doing more personal missions and jobs for the Hokage, every desk chunnin and tokubetsu Jounin wrote out their own reports. They were mostly about any and all shinobi that they dealt with during the day and their observations of them.
Those reports written by the desk Chunin helped their fellow nin be profiled so that they could figure out what missions they were to be given. To create a proper profile they used a complicated mix of reports that were handed in by each nin, their past mission reports, and reports from their physical and psychological doctors. The profiles meant that the actual death rate of their people dropped drastically. Which meant that they were able to do more missions and bring in more money.
And it started with a desk Chunin’s observations.
Just as the two nins finished off the first half of their paperwork, a rather frazzled looking Naruto nearly ran into the mission room. He was dragging an equally frazzled looking Gai behind him, the man looking around with wide eyes. Genma and Iruka looked up, startled and wondering what was going on.
“Iruka-kun!” Naruto cried out as he came to a stop before the desk. “I think we have a, well I’m not sure if it’s a slight problem or a very big problem,” he blurted out. He let go of Gai’s wrist as he bounced before the two men, his blue eyes dark with worry.
“Naruto-kun?” Iruka asked, sounding slightly bewildered and worried. It wasn’t often that Naruto was frazzled. Not since he had come back from his training with Jiraiya. “Aren’t you off today? What are you doing here? And what the hell do you mean by a problem?” he asked. He quickly shoved his paperwork into its folder, already feeling that things were about to hit the fan in a small way.
“Yes, it’s my day off. But I was at the Broken Kunai for the lunch special since I still have to go food shopping. Anyways, I just happened to be there in time to catch a couple kunoichi talking,” Naruto started. He rubbed his hands together, a tic he had that came out when he was worried. “Iruka-kun, they were talking about us. That is, they were talking about desk Chunin and the tokubetsu Jounins who work with us sometimes. And they were talking about what we really do. And damnit all, they were really fucking close to guessing about how dangerous it can be to be one of us,” he babbled, sounding stressed and worried. He continued to bounce as Iruka watched him, blinking several times as his mind whirled. Genma burst into cursing as he stood up and nearly ran for a side room that held the few messenger birds that they had.
“Okay, breathe and calm down, Naruto-kun. Can you tell me why Gai-san is here?” Iruka finally asked. His voice was strained as he began to hunt down fresh paper and a new pen on the desks.
“I grabbed him so he can spill everything he knows. Otherwise, he’s going to end up on the short list for some of the dirtiest, nastiest missions for the next two years,” Naruto promised. His eyes stayed steady on the taller, green wearing male. Gai just smiled nervously at him as he remembered just why Naruto reminded him of Iruka. It just enforced the thought that Naruto was just as dangerous as the usually mild tempered Chunin.
“That was a very good move, Naruto-kun. Now, Gai-san, whatever you are about to hear or see cannot leave this room. Ever. This is highly classified and shall be treated as an S-Class mission,” Iruka stated, getting a sharp nod from the large man.
Genma walked back in from the side room as Iruka found paper, his expression serious. “I sent out the summons and I also sent one to Tsunade-sama. We’ll have to remember to put up those new privacy seals though,” he said. He nodded his head at Gai before moving to gather more paper and pens for the impromptu meeting. Once he had it, he moved around the room and activated the various hidden seals around the mission room.
“Naruto-kun, how about you start detailing what you had heard while it’s still fresh in your mind,” Iruka said, a soft, understanding smile on his lips. Naruto flopped down into one of the many chairs near the desks and started to go over the rumors of their jobs and how it was so dangerous for them. He also went over the ones about they thought they could possibly know and had seen during their time as desk workers. Iruka sighed, thanking all the Gods that it looked as if the rumors were still off from the truth. But he didn’t like how close some were.
As he wrote down notes and asked questions, Iruka had a feeling that there many other rumors out there. And that they needed to find all of them in someway.
Kotetsu, Izumo, and Raidou all arrived at the mission room within a few minutes of the summons being sent out. They slid in past the door, their cheeks flushed and hair mussed, all of them looking worried and harried. “What’s going on that’s sent you guys into a tizzy?” Izumo finally asked as he panted, smoothing his fringe back down over his eye.
“We need to wait for Tsunade-sama to arrive before we can talk about it,” Iruka said, rolling his shoulders. “But in general, there’s new rumors about us and our jobs.” He frowned as he watched Naruto pull some paper towards him and write out a full report in his neat, little handwriting. Genma was standing next to Gai as the man worked on his own report, starting with the night at the bar with his fellow nins.
Izumo and Kotetsu moved to the side room and found more chairs for Gai and Tsunade. The large male sat down in an absent minded way as Raidou took to leaning over Naruto’s shoulder. He watched what the young man had already written and asked soft questions to help him remember information. It didn’t take long for Tsunade to stalk into the room, her usual green jacket fluttering behind her as she growled. The rather interesting mutterings about nins and their insatiable need to learn new things and getting into trouble for their efforts were highly amusing.
“Tell me what’s happened this time?” she asked, her hazel eyes flashing as she took her own seat at the desk. Iruka took Naruto’s finished report and handed her in answer, Gai handed over his own as she read over the report with a frown. Her softly shaded blond hair fell over her shoulders and she had to snarl unhappily at the words. “Where exactly did these rumors start?” she asked Gai. She watched him frown and think for a few minutes.
“I can not really tell, Tsunade-sama, not really. I suppose it was the night that Kakashi-san, Anko-san, Kurenai-san, Asuma-san and myself were together last. We did indeed talk about the desk Chunins and tokubetsu Jounins, but this was after I walked in on Raidou-san and Genma-san flirting with Izumo-san,” Gai stated. He rubbed his chin in thought and slumped down slightly. “Since I hadn’t been expecting to see such a sight, I figured that going to the bar afterwards was a good idea. We got into a conversation about them. Anko-san let on during our conversation that their jobs are much harder than what most of us believe it to be. She also showed us the Bingo Book that is dedicated to Chunins. Most of them are those who work the desks,” he continued. He watched as Tsunade and the others stared at him, surprise on their faces.
“And just how the hell did Anko-san find out about your Bingo Book?” Naruto asked as he leant towards Iruka and frowned. Iruka tapped his bottom lip as his eyebrows drew together.
“It is quite possible that she learned about it from Ibiki-san since she doesn’t work with us very closely. He, on the other hand, does know about all of the different types of Bingo Books. And with her as his apprentice, he would have told her about them,” he mused. “But if she’s actually talking about them so freely, there can be every reason to worry about what ends up getting around what does get out in the long run.”
“I’m thinking that it seems as if I’m going to have to have a long talk with certain nins about their tendencies to poke their noses where they shouldn’t be,” Tsunade drawled. She stood with a sigh, shaking her head. “If too much information on how we work in this building leaks out, it can make our jobs that much harder to do. This is especially true since we now have to scramble our fucking web again. Iruka-san, I want you to plan and set up a backup idea for the holding of the Archives. Along with several backup places. Tell me when you have it.”
“Yes, Tsunade-sama,” Iruka said. He nodded his head before he grabbed of the fresh papers and started to write out the plan. Gai swallowed and stood as Tsunade left the mission room with a snarl. “Gai-san, what we need you to do from now on is come to us if you hear any more rumors. We also need your former students to do this for us too, but do keep the reasons why to the bare minimum.”
“I will strive to do what you request of me, Iruka-san. If you will excuse me though, I must finish off my mission report to turn in,” Gai said as he bowed to the group. They noted that he was quick to leave, everyone thinking that the man was probably thinking heavily.
“As for the rest of us, Naruto-kun, your training will need to start speeding up. You need to be as trained as we possibly can so that you can tweak your mental-scape at will,” Iruka stated. Naruto gave him a sharp nod, a frown tugging at pink lips. “Raidou-san, Izumo-san, I need you two to help him with that. Outside of a Yamanaka, you two are the best to help him,” he said. The two nodded and grabbed their own papers, starting to plan how they were going to teach the young man.
Things would need to speed up, which meant that time off and other activities would suffer for all of them for the next while. How long, they weren’t quite sure about.
