Nothing was getting done. Absolutely nothing.
A tick mark appeared over Shikamaru's brow as he watched the sixth hokage, Kakashi Hatake, spin around and around in his office chair in childish delight. The silver haired man was powerful and respectable, but outside of missions and those damn perverted books he took nothing seriously.
"Lord Sixth! That pile of paperwork I left in here two days ago needed to be filed in an hour. Why haven't you completed any of it?" The Nara asks, trying to remain calm.
"My brain was just on the path of life, you see. And I have thought up many interesting things, things that are far more entertaining that this paper work that doesn't do anything but kill trees and waste time." Responds the hokage, momentarily pausing spinning his chair around so he can look at the young advisor.
Shikamaru lets out an annoyed breath. He had taken this job for two reasons, the first was he was following in his father's footsteps, the second was he wanted to be Naruto's advisor. The man in front of him, in his opinion, was a better squad leader or ANBU than Hokage. If Naruto was Hokage, even if he had to use shadow clones, which he probably would knowing the blond, he would get everything done.
All Shikamaru asked, two whole days ago, was for Kakashi to fill out this five little forms, two of which only needed a signature.
"Sir, these forms do more than 'kill trees and waste time'. They are to get repairs underway in some of the less fortunate areas of Konoha, and permission to build a proper roadway between here and Suna to lessen travel time. The Kazekage meet with you last week about this, remember?" Shikamaru told him.
Kakashi seems to think about this.
"Oh yeah, the redheaded kid that's totally gay for Naruto," Shikamaru's mouth dropped open in shock at what was coming out of the hokages mouth. "What was his name? Gaara right? Kid really knows how to hold his sake."
"Lord Sixth! Gaara is the Kazekage! You can't talk about him like that!" Shikamaru shouts.
Kakashi seems confused by this.
"Why not? Wait… Is it because I said he's gay for Naruto and you're gay for Naruto? Is this like some love triangle thing?"
Shikamaru wanted to slam his head into a wall… Repeatedly.
"No, I am not gay for Naruto, neither is Gaara. There is no love triangle. Gaara is Kazekage, the leader from another village. You can not say stuff about him like you just were, it could cause conflict if the wrong person overheard."
It was like speaking to a child. A deaf child.
"Oh! I get it! You like his sister and want to be on her brothers good side so you can sleep with her! Why didn't you say you were a fan of the Make-Out series?"
Son of a… Where is he getting this crap?
"NO! What is wrong with you?" Shikamaru finally snaps.
Kakashi just smiled.
"No need to get angry. It's completely natural to like the series and want to copy it in real life. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me!"
Composing himself again, Shikamaru sighs. This is going nowhere.
"Lord Sixth. Those papers? What are we going to do about them? I need to hand them in, in…" He looks at the clock, "Forty-five minutes."
"We could make paper air planes with them and race them in the hallway."
Shikamaru prayed Naruto would be deemed ready to take over soon. Kakashi was impossible to deal with. If only the man had energy like Naruto's to make more than one shadow clone without getting wiped out.
"Sir, you are a moron." With that Shikamaru bowed and left if only to save a sliver of his sanity for the next day...
Hey guys. I thought about this last night and just couldn't stop laughing, so I decided it was worth writing. I love doing little one-shots like this.
Hope you enjoyed, thanks for reading!
