After several months of countless editing and the dying motivation to write fanfiction, this chapter should be a good start to inspire me some more ideas. Definitely lame, but enjoy anyway.

"What mission was it, Kakashi? A-class?"
"Yeah Raidou,"
"What is it this time around eh?"
"Someone in the bingo book."
"Heh. Don't trust the bingo book anymore. It lists C and then you got an A."
"Right on Kurenai... I got a B on my last mission and it turned out to be A in the end..."
"Did I miss anything?"
"You were two hours late. Of course you'd miss everything."
"Tsunade-sama never gives people rest..."
"She's exhausting all her means..."
"And why were you so early Kakashi?"
"Ebisu told me I took long on my last mission so I had to redeem myself."
"...…!!!"
"Ebisu... you look pale."
"He's pale, Anko."

"So... Kakashi..."
"Eh?"

"We were actually discussing about the preferences and... trivialities of our lives when you interrupted us… and since I have mentioned your name, and since you're here, you're gonna have to participate in this very... enlightening discourse of ours."
"I'ma take a raincheck Anko..."
"What exactly do you like about Icha-icha?"
"I'm gonna go now…"

"You're so fond of your missions you're an automaton already..."
"..."
"…"
"…?"
"Well?"
"I think it's something to do with Ton-ton's child."
"Ton-ton? Who the hell is Ton-ton?"
"Shizune's familiar."
"The pig?"
"She died from a mission. She had a child though,"
"But... they look exactly the same..."
"Genma's awkward with the familiar."
"And how did y'know Kakashi?"
"Two jounins having quarrels over some pig? That's..."
"Heh, because you haven't been in such situation with Iruka."

"So you're still in touch with yourself. That's good to know."
"..."
"Hey Kakashi... what are your preferences with girls? Do I make a candidate?"
"..."
"And what is it about Icha-icha huh? Y'know Ebisu told me about a film adaptation of some volume. Did you see it?"
"…what film?"
"Some festival blah blah blah..."
"There were three so far. All of them had festivals."
"Oh."
"Really. He amazes me."
"Yeah... he knows too much he keeps it to himself..."
"Eh? Kurenai... what's with Asuma today? He seemed cheerless when I passed him by at the academy..."
"..."
"…"
"Must be the thing you said earlier."
"Never mind that. You always want to get right back at someone else eh, Kakashi?"
"Jounins and special jounins in the lobby... the meeting shall resume in five minutes... please get back to the conference room immediately. I repeat, jounins and special jounins in the lobby... the meeting shall resume in five minutes... please get back to the conference room immediately."

Special Jounin, 25
Mission Class: C, B
Mission Date: July 3.
Mission Status: Complete
July 3, 10AM. Initially sent as stealth investigator regarding Hyuuga Hiashi-sama's report. To join Hatake Kakashi after 24 hours for the mission.
July 3, 3:30PM. Was not able to access Iwagakure borders. Was able to inform Hatake Kakashi about a certain group of Iwagakure shinobis following Hyuuga Hinata, one and a half kilometers to Shidarezakura City.
July 3, 9PM. Was able to gather info regarding Hyuuga Hiashi-sama's concern. Iwagakure allied with missing-nins from Lightning Country, also tied with 2 hunter-nins from Mist banished from their village due to killing their comrades in a mission. Said hunter-nins responsible for killing Mist's daimyo. To be investigated further.
July 4, 7PM. Rendezvous with Aburame Shino and Hatake Kakashi to discuss final details for the mission. Hatake Kakashi not present. Patrolling the surroundings for any spies led us to become reinforcement for Hatake Kakashi and Hyuuga Hinata against Lightning Country's missing-nins. Completed the separate mission as of this time.
July 5, 1:30AM. Hatake Kakashi and Hyuuga Hinata have to recover at the headquarters. Did not disclose any information to Hyuuga Hinata.
"We currently have eleven genin cells, Sunagakure has five, Kirigakure has four, Tsuchigakure has six, Grass Countrry has ten, and Hidden Cloud has seven. It has reduced from forty-seven last chuunin exam–"
"Aoba, mark Hidden Clouds off of the list."
"Wha–"
"What's happening Ebisu? You were in the last mission with Kakashi, right? Against Hidden Clouds?"
"Shh."
"There are problems with the Lightning and I have to negotiate with them first."
"Tsunade-sama..."
"In the meantime we would have four countries to invite. We still have to reduce our cells to minimize any more expenditure and avoid injuries from participants not yet fit for the exam. Aoba, what is the status of the cells?"
"Team one, Daichi, Futaba and Kouji. Jounin leader Kotetsu Hagane has nominated to forego his team's participation."
"They're not yet ready... especially now that new rules have been made."
"I see."
"He just received the jounin vest, that's why,"
"Shh!"
"Team two. Matsuri, Nobori and Oukei. Jounin leader Mimoro Hamaki has nominated for the team's participation."
"The team is in good shape this time around, they now know genjutsus and more taijutsu styles to complement for the exam,"
"Team three. Moegi, Udon and Konohamaru. Jounin leader Ebisu has nominated to forgo his team's participation."
"Why are you foregoing Konohamaru's participation? You were his special tutor when he was still in the academy, right? And he's the grandson of the late Third."
"Yes, I see that Hamaki-san. But bloodline isn't the issue here, it's skill. Honestly... Konohamaru... and the others... they're doing pretty well in ninjutsus but they still have to learn more. They're weak at taijutsu and Konohamaru needs more attention, if he is to fulfill Konoha's expectations..."
"...…"
"Move on."
"Team four. Yoshino Kaede, Tanzou and Shinta. Jounin leader Shizune has nominated for the team's participation."
"Wait... I'm... I'm – cancel their participation, Aoba-san... they're... I dunno..."
"..."
"Team five. Samo, Chen, and Yun. Jounin leader Inuzuka Tsume has nominated for the team's participation."
"It's the best rookie team after graduating from the academy. Enough said."
"Pompous."
"Who's pompous?"
"Shh! I'ma ask Kurenai to let Hinata join. Then we'll see who's best fucking rookie."
"You're just jealous because you don't have a cell, Anko."
"Whatever Ebisu... hey, is the movie ending in that Mist-whatever festival?"
"Uhm... yeah, kind of."
"Tell me–"
"Team eight. Hyuuga Hinata and Inuzuka Kiba. Non-applicable for Aburame Shino, substituted by Hyuuga Hanabi, as consented. Jounin leader Yuuhi Kurenai nominated for Hinata's non-participation."
"Only Hinata?"
"Yes Tsunade-sama. Hinata is currently under my tutelage, as well as other consultations from other jounins. She's still in training until we see her fit for the exam."
"What? But she's a kick-ass already against the graduates!"
"Shh Anko!"
"She has consented on it."
"What about the two?"
"Hyuuga Hanabi should be fit for the exam. She was able to overpower Hinata's byakugan... and Inuzuka really wanted to join the exam, though he still lacks discipline he'd be good to go, too."
"It will initially be a three-man team. Who's the third?"
"…I would like to suggest Haruno Sakura..."
"!"
"Did you hear that?"
"Yeah I did."
"What is she thinking?"
"I dunno. Come to think about it, the girl doesn't have a cell anymore..."
"I know she's under your tutelage Tsunade-sama, but please let her join the exams…"
"??"
"...okay. Move on."
"Team nine. Ame, Choko, and Dango. Jounin leader Sarugaku Tsuzumi nominates for the non-participation of the team."
"Since I think a lot of previous genins would be joining the exam, I've considered Anko's words and I think they won't be able to fight it off against the previous rookie nine..."
"Very well."
"Team ten. Chouji and Yamanaka Ino, non-applicable for Nara Shikamaru. Jounin leader Sarutobi Asuma nominates for the team's non-participation until they find a substitute."
"..."
"I would like to make one!"
"Gai..."
"..."
"What is it that you want?"
"He was fast,"
"Yeah tell me about it."
"I really really would like to suggest that my precious Rock Lee be included in the exam because the spring of youth is calling him, to experience youth and run into the setting sun!"
"...what about Ten-ten, Gai?"
"She does not want to join... yet, and I truly understand. Tsunade-sama please let Rock Lee join the exam…"
"..."
"I will... do anything for my precious student!"
"Do what you want, just stop doing that. Move on."
"Team eleven. Shibire, Minoji and Tanzou no Kimi. Jounin leader Shiranui Genma nominates for the participation of the team,"
"They've been stubborn and rowdy but I've managed to discipline them."
"Okay. Jounin leaders pass their records tomorrow. Any more inquiries should be made to the administrators of the exam. I'm designating the non-participating jounins and special jounins."
"All of them Tsunade?"
"Any problems, Homura?"
"..."
"We will have to discuss about scheduling the next exam, and the Grass Country volunteered to host the next exam."
"I think that they're using the other countries so they would be protected when the Stone tries invading them again..."
"Homura, I think they've signed a peace treaty already."
"..."
"And we cannot afford to host another exam."
"..."
"Okay. Special jounins will be designated as examiners. Jounins will have to go complete missions. We don't want to get poor now, right?"
"Beh Kakashi."
"?"
"Aoba will send manuals to the special jounins, and a chuunin examiner will accompany them. We will schedule seven cells a day so it would take about a week. We shall hold the final matches at the stadium, so we must reconstruct it in the coming days."
"Tsunade-sama, what if more teams pass the initial exams?"
"?"
"..."
"Will we be having preliminary matches before the finals?"
"We will not let that happen. I'm sure you all know what that means,"
"But–"
"Tsunade's a l'il political today eh?"
"Yes Jiraiya-sama... She does not like it, but she has to do something..."
"What happened to her hopeful self?"
"The hopeful is not here, probably outside this building."
"Hahaha... funny Shizune."
"Expect your manuals tomorrow. Kakashi, Ebisu, stay here. Everybody dismissed."

"A conference was held yesterday and Iwagakure has denied any association from the accomplices you've mentioned Kakashi..."
"It's a convenient thing for them to do Hokage-sama."
"I know. We have to establish evidence before making any demands for punitive damages."
"We're... we'll demand punitive damages?"
"Of course. It's been a tradition during our time, they all know what that meant."
"And our alliance with Suna will make mattes worse for them."
"About Lightning Country Hokage-sama..."
"The Lightning Country's a little thorny. We can't make any demands yet, since the people you've dealt with aren't technically Lightning's citizens..."
"They got no citizenship? That's real downer for them."
"Ebisu, secure the documents for Iwagakure case. Shino will handle the Lightning."
"About Hinata... Hokage-sama,"

"?"
"!!"
"Tsunade-sama, I..."
"What is it Kakashi?"
"I... I told her fib."
TBC. Ebisu's surname is a fib, too. Anyway, as lame as this chapter is, a flame/review is welcome.
