But for now: enjoy.

*~*~*~*

Sighing lowly to himself, Kotetsu stretched his arms over his head slowly and started to walk the halls of the Hokage Tower. He double checked all of the locks and traps that had been changed and laid out. They had also had to strip and reapply the privacy seals, finding marks that had turned them into broadcasting seals. It had been decided that at least one of the Hokage’s personal Chunins would walk the halls at night while the night shift stayed in the mission room downstairs.

They all knew that it was mostly to make sure that everything was the way it was supposed to be.

Unfortunately for Kotetsu, he had been the one to draw the short straw and was the one working the first night shift. He didn’t really mind since he didn’t work the next day and he could survive for the night and get away with not sleeping until it was a normal hour. Thus he found himself working his way through the maze of hallways. His eyes took in every nook and cranny with quick scans as he moved from room to room, locking them back up behind him. Closing and locking the last room behind him, he headed for the break room. They had installed some new cameras and monitors that waited to be watched with boredom but would help.

Flopping into the padded seat once he had locked himself into the room, he scanned over the walls and the seals that were his silent warning system. He found them intact and turned his eyes to the monitors, finding nothing going off on those. Nodding his head, he pulled out his paperwork, pen, ink pad, notes, and stamp before settling in to work. He flipped through the pages and filled out what he could, stamping when he finished with a page and laying it facedown to the side. When he finished with the first packet of papers, he tucked them into their folders and placed the folders into a file box.

It didn’t take him long to finish off the large amount of paperwork and reports between his rounds around the tower. As the sun started to peek over the horizon outside, he placed his file box onto a seal in the now empty mission room to be dealt with later. It was as he was watching the seal glow diminish that a pinprick to the back of his neck sent a rush of adrenalin through him. He swung back but found air as his body went limp, sliding to the floor, and his vision blurred. His last thought was that he was glad that things were locked down so tightly, and that all the traps and seals had been replaced.

The sound of the unlocking back door filled the quietness of the supply room, Naruto sighing. He disabled the traps with a flick of his wrist before smiling over his shoulder and waving the finished report at his companion. “You do realize that you are very lucky that it’s my turn to do the early morning shift right?” he asked, closing the door behind himself and Gai.

“I figured that I am quite lucky with this fact, Naruto-san,” Gai stated, voice boisterous even in the early morning. Naruto mentally mourned his nice quiet morning going down the tube as he lead the way to the connecting break room. He frowned heavily and looked around, noting that Kotetsu wasn’t coming to greet them, putting him on edge. “Naruto-san?” came the soft query from behind him.

“I need you to stay here, Gai-san, and to stop anyone that is not supposed to be here,” Naruto instructed. He left the break room and walked into the mission room, finding Kotetsu sprawled out on the floor. He looked unconscious and made him curse as he ran over to him. “Gai-san! Get someone from medical! We have a man down!” he called out. Picking up one wrist, he checked the pulse before checking it by pressing two fingers to his friend’s neck. He found that it was strong but a bit fast, he bit his bottom lip and patted at his friends cheek.

“That will not be needed, Uzumaki-san,” Ibiki stated as he walked in with a fuming Tsunade behind him. The two had undertones of worry in their looks as they took in Naruto and Gai as the man came into the mission room. “Did you just arrive?” he asked.

Naruto stood and moved away from Kotetsu so that the Hokage could check over the drugged man. “Yes actually. I arrived at the back door and found Gai heading around to the front, so I brought him in through the back. After I disabled the traps, we walked into the break room and I felt something was wrong seeing as Kotetsu didn’t call out even a greeting,” Naruto stated. He watched as Tsunade pulled on gloves and ran lightly glowing hands over Kotetsu’s head. “I instructed Gai-san to stay there while I checked for anything odd. I found him on the ground and instructed Gai-san to call for someone when you walked in.” He ran a hand through blond hair. “Why are you here anyway?”

“A seal went off in the hokage’s office while we were in a meeting,” Tsunade stated, sitting back on her heels. “He’s drugged asleep but he’ll be fine. Naruto, take Ibiki-san and make sure that nothing has been removed or changed. I want a full, detailed report from you,” she told them.

Naruto nodded his head and left the room with Ibiki following after him. He took his time, running his eyes over the places he knew were hidden seals. Ibiki watched as he worked slowly, taking his time in checking the seals. He had to admire the methodical way that he moved, his training shining through.

“Come on, there’s nothing that’s missing here,” Naruto said. He walked down the hallway, checking each door to make sure that it was still locked for the moment and that the seals were untouched. Ibiki followed after, memorizing each area that they walked past and following him up the stairs.

Once they came to the door that would lead up to the Archive, Naruto went from easy going but worried to annoyed nin. He narrowed his eyes and started to run, taking a moment to gaze into the room that an open door lead to. He noted that the lock hadn’t been picked but moved on. He headed up the small stairwell to the Archive and cursed creatively at finding the traps sprung but no one caught in them.

Sliding into the small hallway that had six doors to choose from, Naruto ignored the still following Ibiki and checked each door. Behind them, he found each of the traps tripped, but once more empty. “I take it that this person is really good?” the interrogator asked lowly when they came to another room. The other rooms were small, about the size of a janitors closet, but this one was bigger. About the size of a half bathroom and it had a single window. All of the traps were tripped, but instead of just empty traps, there were kunai embedded in the walls, floor and ceiling. “Who set up this one?” he asked.

“It’s my trap, one that I created with Iruka-san’s approval. It looks like the idiot didn’t find the right door to the Archives though and left through the window. I’m guess as Gai-san and I arrived,” Naruto mused as he walked around the embedded kunai. Coming to stand before the window, he pushed it open and peeked out of it, finding no one on the outside. He sighed and pulled back, closing and locking the window. “Damn it. There’s no patrols in this area right now so whoever it was slipped away. Fuck.”

“We still should check the Archives,” Ibiki said. Naruto nodded in agreement, picking his way around the kunai again. Closing the door behind them, he lead the large man to the right door. Pulling out a kunai, he pricked his pointer finger and swiped the blood down over the door frame. He watched as the seals glowed before becoming just black ink once more. The blood had disappeared. “Blood seals. I take it that they are connected only to those who have access to the Archives and the Hokage only?” he asked, looking to the smaller male.

Naruto nodded his head with a slight smile. “Yep. Anyone else tries that and they’ll turn the seals into a transportation seal, landing in one of your cells,” Naruto drawled as he pushed open the door and stepped inside. He ran his eyes over the various tricks, traps and seals, finding everything in one piece and nodding his head. He turned around and pricked his healed finger once more, swiping it over another cell and watching the blood disappear along with the seal. “We’re good,” he hummed, stepping back out and closing the door, sealing the door with more blood and a bit of chakra. “Come on, lead the way. I need to lock down the other doors here so we can get someone in to really look at the traps and rooms.”

“I’ll send out a bird and have one of my higher ANBU come over,” Ibiki stated, heading down the hall and stopping at each door. Naruto closed and firmly locked each door with a master key and some chakra. “I take it that they will need to have one of the specialized Chunin to have full access?”

“Yep,” Naruto chuckled as they walked down the stairs. Walking into the main break room across from the mission room, they found Kotetsu sitting up in a chair. He was holding his head as he groaned softly into his hands. “How are you feeling there, Kotetsu?” he asked, moving over to the kettle and hot pot.

“My head feels like I got hammered last night. But Hokage-sama said that it’s pretty normal for the drug that was used on me,” Kotetsu grunted, rubbing at the back of his neck. “I didn’t even feel the guy come up on me, not even a flutter of chakra. I also didn’t catch a good look at him. All I felt was the pinch of a needle in my neck and then I’m going down as I move to attack.”

“He’ll feel better after he rests for the day. He is going to need to be watched over but Gai-san has agreed to do it since Izumo is working today,” Tsunade stated. She held out a cup with a tea bag in it already when the kettle whistled at Naruto. Naruto just rolled his eyes and poured some hot water into it.

“You want to tell me just how you got here so fast?” Kotetsu asked finally. Naruto gazed at Tsunade and Ibiki with some curiosity as he made his friend some tea. Tsunade cleared her throat and looked a bit sheepish as she added sugar to her own tea.

“As you well know, my special Chunin who work directly under me are given new hiates. They’re different then others,” she started, clearing her throat once more. “Each one has a specialized seal on the back of the faceplate that monitors my people. This is done because you’re in line to be hurt first to get to me or the Archives. There’s a reason why you have to bring it in to replace the cloth.”

“You weren’t lying when you said a seal went off in your office huh?” Naruto sighed, Tsunade shaking her head. “So we carry around these monitoring seals where ever we go and never knew about it?”

“Every Kage does it in some way or another. We have to protect our desk Chunin after all,” Tsunade chuckled. Kotetsu and Naruto both moaned and Gai looked rather confused about the conversation going on. Ibiki just sighed and rubbed at his face, mentally cursing his luck about being in such a position.
