G is for Grapevine

Ibiki has always found the Konoha grapevine very interesting. It was very large, and consisted mostly of civilians and genin. However, a small amount of classified information always showed up there. Ibiki visualized the grapevine as a living, moving thing that resembles a DNA strand. He had once started a rumor to a civilian to see where it went, and he was very amused when Anko told it to him the next day.

Since then he hasn't participated, but he did listen to Anko's incessant gossip (while pretending he wasn't) to see if he could glean anything important. He rarely did, but he did it nonetheless.

Ibiki eventually admitted to himself (no good interrogator lies to themselves) that he just liked the gossip, no matter the Intel he got from it. No, it didn't matter if Kakashi had just had a threesome or Tsunade got a breast reduction, but it made his paperwork filled days a little funnier.

He found out that a number of rumors about him were circulating, and to Anko's surprise, he didn't deny the one about the large tattoo on his back, although he had to put an end to the ones involving Anko, Inoichi, the Inuzuka family, the Inuzuka dogs, and his personal hygiene.

He had always wanted a tattoo.
