Bane
And there it sat....the bane of his existence, sitting all innocently and non-life like on his desk as if it didn't know how horrendous itself was to Sarutobi. Sitting there as if it wasn't the bane of his existence, the most vile, evil horrific monster he had ever faced and had never been able to beat.
...Paper Work.
Sarutobi glared.
If only he had someone who would do his work for him. His secretary wouldn't, the council wouldn't. Hell, even the Genin he hired wouldn't do it.
But how? How to pawn his work load on someone who wouldn't complain and yet at the same time be able to retain all the knowledge of what had been signed and read.....
It was times like this Sarutobi really envied Naruto, who, with his shadow clones could be everywhere at once and always know what had happened because his shadow clones retained the knowledge.
…
…
...Staring at the bane of his existence, Sarutobi could have slapped himself. Shadow clones. That was the answer.
Why the hell didn't he come up with that sooner!? Professor his ass! He couldn't even remember he knew how to do shadow clones.
Grinning evilly, Sarutobi made the proper hand signs and seconds later another Sarutobi sat in front of him....
-
Hours later (as well as many paper cuts later) Sarutobi couldn't help but think shadow clones weren't all they were chalked up to be as he finished his last load only to have a mountain sized stalk dropped onto his desk as his clone ran around with Jiraiya.
Lazy bastards.
