Disclaimer: Again, I don't own anything or anybody except Tomoko, her family, and Nagareboshi Cafe. Any concepts/ideas mentioned in this fanfiction that seem to be borrowed from another media/piece of continuity - note that I don't mean to plagiarize anything or anybody in any way! This fanfic was made for entertainment purposes, not for pissing off others! So yeah!

Author's Notes: Once again, here's an omake thing that I wrote, taking inspiration from Frost-Ninja-Dragon's previous report on Kakashi. I didn't want to keep you guys waiting too much for the next chapter, and considering that this character in particular got quite a bit of attention in the reviews following Chapter 19, I decided to write this for you! I hope you enjoy this little tidbit!


ANBU ANALYSIS REPORT:

(Former) Shinobi Operative Bio —

Subject: Hoshino (nee Yuki) Judai

General Overview: A former shinobi operative and one of the many war heroes of the Second Shinobi World War, Judai gives off an appearance ironically contrasting his previous position. A happy-go-lucky cellist and official owner of Nagareboshi Cafe, Judai has been noted to have settled down completely into a civilian lifestyle. Fellow nin and former allies of the retired ninja alike have noted how the man seems to be much happier than before, especially with the revelation of his becoming a father to one Hoshino Tomoko.

However, that doesn't mean that everything has changed. With recent issues surrounding his daughter, there have been visible hints of the previous ninja that Judai once was, especially with the 'drunk nin incident' as locals would dub it. When Tomoko was threatened in Nagareboshi itself a few months ago, Judai didn't hesitate to bring out his signature chakra sword, leaking out killing intent that was obvious even to chakra-oblivious civilians. Even when the culprit in question was taken away, the serious persona the former ninja donned didn't go away until the safety of his daughter was confirmed.

On a continuous note, Judai is a doting father to the young girl and a loving husband to Hoshino Hikari. Ever since his retirement, he has been living rather peacefully with the booming business Nagareboshi brings, even offering a hand to the then-struggling Hatake family after Hatake Sakumo's failed mission.


Relations

Hoshino Hikari: Judai's wife and co-owner of Nagareboshi Cafe. Noted as the main catalyst for Judai's retirement as a shinobi, Hikari has been a force in the former ninja's life. Initially having met through their shared interest in music, their relationship culminated into a showdown between Hikari and Hokage-sama himself, the woman demanding Judai to retire for the sake of his mental health. Since then, they have had a loving marriage, culminating in the birth of Tomoko later on.

Hoshino Tomoko: Judai's only daughter, Tomoko is the apple of Judai's eye. The former nin looks after the girl with much love and adoration common of any doting father, and has been noted to turn protective of the pianist when things get too far.

Hatake Sakumo: Apparently one of Judai's many former comrades during the Second Shinobi World War, Judai never really went beyond a relationship of acquaintances until the failed mission. It was through Tomoko that Judai himself became aware of the situation and was the one to suggest that the man come live with his family. Since then, Judai and Sakumo have been seen akin to brothers, often talking about their experiences and families between one another when by themselves.

Hatake Kakashi: The son of Hatake Sakumo and his daughter's best friend, Judai has been noted to look at Kakashi like that of an adopted son. Since the Hatake's residence in the Hoshino home, Judai has always turned a guiding and fatherly glance towards the Chunin whenever Sakumo isn't around, including Kakashi in many of the Hoshino family activities.

[Off record, ANBU are questioning how much Judai knows of Kakashi's budding feelings for Tomoko. They two seem to treat each other cordially enough and Judai has done nothing to discourage the Hatake from hanging out with the girl.

Some are betting on seeing the former nin rage it out on the Chunin once he gets the guts to ask Tomoko out. Current pool standing is unknown.]

Jim Crocodile Cook: Former teammate and current blacksmith, the two haven't had contact until just recently, having reconciled their friendship. Not much can be said about what happened to cause the distance, but fellow nin believe it may be because of the circumstances surrounding Judai's retirement.

Namikaze Minato: The Jounin sensei to Hatake Kakashi, Judai has a bit of a love-hate relationship with him. There have been moments where the former nin has become weary around the Jounin (not helped by how Minato seems to like borrowing Tomoko for the sake of teamwork exercises in Team Minato) and has even lashed out on occasion. However, when the situation calls for it, Judai has been noted to drop all paranoia in exchange for full-hearted trust, knowing that Minato is only looking out for everyone.

Uzumaki Kushina: The girlfriend of aforementioned Namikaze Minato, unlike her blond boyfriend, Judai looks at the Uzumaki with a bit more of a lenient and carefree eye. Considering how Kushina adores both Kakashi and Tomoko, they may share a kinship in how they go about showing affection to the young ones.

Jiraiya: One of the three Sannin and fellow war hero of the Second Shinobi World War, Jiraiya has been noted to be the only person besides Hokage-sama himself that Judai has been respectful towards. Using the honorific '-sama', Judai has been noted to full-heartedly trust the Toad Sage, even if he gets miffed from time to time at his 'research.'

[Off duty, some ANBU laughed full-heartedly at the sight of Judai threatening the Sage for peeking at one of his intimate moments with Hikari.]

Yamanaka Inoichi: One of the famous Ino-Shika-Cho trio, not much is fully known about Judai's relationship with the man. It has been noted that Inoichi calls Judai with the honorific '-senpai' and currently acts as Tomoko's therapist since the 'drunk-nin-incident', so the former nin does [at least] have a lot of respect for the Yamanaka.

Yamanaka Kanon: The girlfriend of Yamanaka Inoichi, Kanon seems to treat the former nin much like an old friend, never really minding his almost non-existent use of honorifics. Whenever it comes to it, Kanon always seems to be there for Judai whenever he needs a florist around.

The Third Hokage: The current leader of the village, Judai's feelings toward him are currently unknown. After his retirement as a shinobi, the two haven't interacted since with the exception of the creation of Nagareboshi Cafe, and that alone was a formal deal.

[Additionally, ANBU are recommended to be on the lookout. There are rumors of Judai still bearing a grudge towards Hokage-sama in some way or form, so keep your guard up.]

Danzo: The head of ANBU's Root division, not much can be said on Judai's relationship with the war hawk. It has been noted in the past that Danzo had an interest in the former nin for his innate chakra control, but Judai always turned him down. More investigation may be necessary.


Further Reports shall be written as investigation continues. Be wary of new reports and developments.
