Somewhere in one of T&I, a couple Jonin sat in the break room sipping tea. "Got anything on the new guy?" One of them asks.
"Nope." Another sighs. "I had to follow him around to see if he did anything suspicious, but all he did was go on and on about how great the academy's toilet paper was."
"Seriously?" The first one asks. "It's just toilet paper."
"Yeah, but this guy's a country hic from a tiny farm so poor they don't even have electricity." A third Jonin comments. "Probably's only ever used leaves."
"And apparently," The second one adds, "In his past life they only ever used cheap toilet paper."
"What the hell." The first one says. "Tell me you at least got anything from reading his letters?" She asks the third Jonin.
He sighs and rubs his temples. "Not a thing since the mention of Sound. He just went on and on saying, 'Oh Seika, I had a bad dream that I accidentally looked in a mirror and was really ugly! No one here will understand what it's like to picture yourself as a girl but actually be a boy!'" The third one paraphrases mockingly. "I mean, what is this kid!? Is he for real?"
"That's our job to find out." The first one points out.
The second one crosses his arms. "I say he's a lunatic. Have you seen the guy? He's worse than Gai!"
"Are we really training this insane civilian just because Hatake had a hunch he knows something?" The third one asks.
The first one rolls her eyes. "Of course not. We stuck him with the academy first years. All he's taking are history lessons. There's no way we'd actually give him practical's."
"I still don't see why we're bothering." The third one complains.
The first one rolls her eyes. "Stop being lazy. He may act nuts, but he definitely knows more than he should. He knew about specific Jutsu such as the shadow clone and the transformation even though he and his family claim to have never come into contact with ninja before. Not only that, he picked up on Hatake's team's personalities like he had known them before. He said Hatake, the demon kid and the last Uchiha had tragic lives, and he never even met them before. And he said he knew their past, present and future." The other Jonin still look unconvinced, so as the icing on the cake, the first one adds, "He knew about the nine tailed fox."
"He what!?" The second one asks.
The third one grimaces, "So what? Everyone knows about the fox. He probably saw it on the horizon when it attacked."
The first one shakes her head grimly. "He knows about Naruto and the fox…"
