*~*~*~*
The afternoon that had been spent with Team Gai had ended up with Lee running out to get take out for all of them on Neji’s dime, much to their amusement. Once they had left, Naruto had changed a few things around in his room before falling asleep after he had gotten his wardings and seals down to his liking.
The next morning found Naruto waking up to the sounds of Ibiki making tea in the kitchen, clinks and the kettle filtering through the walls and door. Trying to ignore the sounds of the other man, he buried himself under his blanket and grunted unhappily at the fact that it didn’t work. The sounds kept coming through the walls and blanket, making him sit up, ruffled from his bedding and far from happy.
Groaning, he slid out of bed, grabbed his robe and tugged it on, before he padded out on socked feet, glaring at the bald man who had dared to disturb his rest before he stole the other male’s teacup. He growled when Ibiki reached out to take it back with a huff.
Blinking a few times as he pulled his hand back, Ibiki had to laugh quietly as he let the blond have the teacup, making a new one instead. He had been warned by Lee the night before that Naruto wasn’t much of a morning person, and that he tended to steal a person’s teacup. Or their coffee if it was what they had instead. The other man tasted his cup before he turned to start on breakfast, Naruto pulling himself up to perch on the corner of the counter.
“So, tell me, what am I going to be doing today?” Naruto asked in some curiosity from his perch on the counter, still sleepy sounding.
“You have a few choices. You can stay here for the day, get used to the house and the such. Or you can join Tsunade-sama in her office. Or you can join me at the ANBU headquarters, have someone see how the ears and tail affect your balance and fighting abilities,” the bald man suggested, dropping some leftover meat into a pan with a bit of sizzling oil. Naruto hummed and tasted his tea for a few minutes, looking down at the cup with a frown.
“I think that I will come in. Even though I can’t actually work on my own case, I can at least spar, as you said, and maybe raid the ANBU library. Think about who to tell next.”
“I know that Asuma-san’s team is currently out of town on am ission. They should be back later today, or tomorrow at the latest. But I do suggest that you tell Kurenai-san and her team next. Keep her away from Asuma-san and Kakashi-san though,” Ibiki said as he continued to make their food.
“I’ll have to send a bird to Kurenai then. As long as you don’t mind me borrowing one,” Naruto said, standing to pour himself more tea as Ibiki added some cooked rice to the pan. “It’s going to be nothing but interesting to tell them. Especially since I also have to tell the other clan leaders about what Sakura did. That conversation will be so fun, really,” he drawled, shaking his head as his companion gave him a look.
“I had forgotten that you had taken your father’s place when you turned eighteen,” Ibiki said, turning to dish out the food and handed a plate to Naruto.
“Not that I really care what they want to do as long as they don’t try to screw me over,” came the reply as Naruto settled in to eat.
“I think that they’re all too afraid of Tsunade-sama and her temper. Especially after she tore apart the civilian council,” Ibiki stated, watching as Naruto blushed a rather nice pick color.
“I can’t control what she does or who she does it to. If she wants to destroy the lives of those who stick their noses into nin business, especially since they have no business doing so, then I’m not going to stop her from doing it.” The tone and look on Naruto’s face screamed ‘innocent’, but the interrogator wasn’t the least bit fooled, giving Naruto a look over his teacup. “It’s not my fault that they wanted to try to go after me for dragging Sasuke back trussed up like a plucked turkey.”
“If I remember that day correctly, you called him as such as you handed him over to me,” Ibiki stated, finishing his food before placing it into the sink. “I need to get ready for work. And if you’re coming with me, so do you. We’re leaving in thirty minutes, so don’t forget anything.”
“Not a problem.”
An hour later found Naruto sitting at a desk, taking ANBU mission reports while several others were going through Sakura’s research files and personal items in another part of the large room. They occasionally got up to do whatever they did when not figuring out why a shinobi had gone absolutely apeshit and turned on her own teammate.
Sitting back in his chair with a slow stretch, the fox stared at the suddenly filled space before him, blinking at the ANBU’s chest. Looking up from the armor covered torso, he raised an eyebrow at the sparrow mask before him, knowing who it was already, having worked with him before.
“Sparrow-san, what an interesting surprise to see you. What brings you here this morning?” he asked the man in greeting. He had an odd feeling that the other’s eyes were glued to his head, watching as his ears were twitching back and forth before they flattened against his skull.
“So what has been going on while I was gone on a mission?” came the soft question, making Naruto pout. He just knew there was an eyebrow rising upwards somewhere under that mask.
“Sakura went over the edge of sanity and fucked around with me. Somehow it took the merged chakra that I have and formed it into physical manifestations in the form of ears and tails. Or so I heard the ANBU doctor mutter earlier when he swung by to check on me,” Naruto drawled, waving a hand towards the area that had things that were piled high, ANBU working on shifting through everything there.
“So I’m seeing,” Sparrow hummed quietly, reaching up to smooth down the skull cap that he wore as he looked around, turning back to Naruto, finding him playing with a scroll on the table. “Are you free for lunch later on?” he asked, drawing blue eyes upwards.
“Yeah, I am,” Naruto said, smiling up at his friend as he nodded his head in agreement. “Just swing by around one or so. I have to meet with Ibiki-san about twelve to see what was found so far, and what I’m going to do until we get rid of the ears. If we ever do.”
“They’re kinda cute,” Sparrow teased him, tugging on one ear before he disappeared with a puff of smoke and a ‘see you later’, a new scroll sitting on the desk before Naruto. Huffing, he reached forward and plucked the scroll up, opening it up enough to sign the bottom of it before he rolled it back up, putting it to the side for pick up and filing.
As soon as noon rolled around, Naruto’s hand was starting to feel well used and he was getting tired of having his ears tweaked by the ANBU operatives. Nearly running into Ibiki’s office, he closed the door behind him, smiling at the two men that were sitting there, looking at him with their eyes shining with their amusement.
“Hey there, Ibiki-san, hey, Raidou,” Naruto chirped, sitting down with a flop, nearly sprawling out in his chair. “I thought that we were going to meet for lunch after this,” he said, looking to Raidou, who just smiling lightly as he adjusted his mask that was perched on his head.
“My one on one meeting with Ibiki-san ran over and we got talking about lunch. I figured that I would go out to get the food so that you don’t have to worry about your coat if that is alright with you,” he said, watching as his friend’s whiskered face stretched into a smile.
“That sounds good to me. Who’s paying?” Naruto asked, crossing his ankles as he looked at the two men.
“I am today, actually,” Ibiki said, pushing back from the desk as he grabbed a stack of papers with a smirk.
“Oh please don’t tell me you’re doing a working lunch,” Naruto teased, getting a dry look from Ibiki as he dropped the papers into a box.
“If I hadn’t suddenly found myself flooded with reports that need me to look over them, I would have had to worry about that fact,” the large man stated. He got a shrug from Naruto as Raidou snickered and found the cash from Ibiki’s drawer, quickly leaving. He wasn’t going to get in the middle of that conversation.
“It’s not my fault they all decided to turn things in while I’m here,” Naruto teased, dropping down into the chair that his friend had abandoned, surrounding himself with the man’s scent.
“It is your fault. They all think that you’re cute,” Ibiki huffed, enjoying the barely there blush that was slowly spreading over Naruto’s cheeks.
“They decided that my ears were cute,” Naruto corrected as he pouted, looking out of the window, missing the look that flashed through the other man’s eyes.
“Have you decided who you are telling next?” Ibiki asked, changing the subject and drawing Naruto’s eyes to him again.
“Kurenai and her team next. They have some time later on as I found out,” he replied, blinking a few times as he crossed his legs.
“Going to do it here?”
“Yes, I am.” Naruto gave him a look. “Since I’m here for the day.”
“Brat.”
“You know it.”
